Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - Last week, the coking coal market was generally strong, with both supply and demand showing signs of recovery, but policy and sentiment disturbances increased market volatility. Coking coal is expected to oscillate at a high level in the short term [5]. - Last week, the coke market oscillated strongly, and the second round of spot price increases was initiated. Coke is expected to follow coking coal to oscillate at a high level in the short term, and attention should be paid to the fulfillment of policy expectations and changes in demand at the finished product end [6]. Summaries by Sections Market Views Coking Coal Fundamentals - Supply: The开工 rate of 523 sample mines and the daily average output of clean coal increased month - on - month, and the capacity utilization rate and clean coal output of 314 coal washing plants also increased slightly. However, due to safety inspections and over - production checks, the supply recovery space is limited [5]. - Demand: The daily output of molten iron and the blast furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills remained stable at a high level, and the available days of coking coal for steel mills and coking plants increased slightly, indicating that rigid demand is still supported [5]. - Inventory: Except for a significant decline in port inventory, mines, coal washing plants, and downstream sectors all saw inventory accumulation, and downstream sectors still have some inventory replenishment momentum [5]. - Summary: In the short term, the fundamental contradictions of coking coal are not significant. The expectation of supply contraction and winter storage demand jointly support prices, but the upside is still restricted by the profit of finished products and the effect of policy implementation [5]. Coke Fundamentals - Supply: The average profit per ton of coke for coking plants returned below the break - even line, and the production willingness of coking enterprises decreased slightly. The capacity utilization rate and output decreased month - on - month [6]. - Demand: The daily output of molten iron and the blast furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills remained stable, the inventory usage cycle of steel mills decreased slightly, and rigid demand was resilient [6]. - Inventory: The inventory of coking plants and steel mills decreased, the port inventory remained stable, and the overall explicit inventory decreased, indicating that the market supply - demand structure is approaching a tight balance [6]. - Summary: In the short term, the coke fundamentals are tight. The second round of price increases is likely to be implemented, but the future continuous increase space may be limited. Coke is expected to follow coking coal to oscillate at a high level [6].

Group 1: Report Information - Report Name: Hongye Futures Weekly Report on Double Offset Paper [1] - Date: October 20, 2025 [1] - Author: Liang Mingyue from the Financial Research Institute [1] Group 2: Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report Group 3: Core Views - **Spot Price**: On October 20, the price of 70g regular white double offset paper in the mainstream market was 4400 - 4500 yuan/ton, and that of 70g high - white double offset paper was 4700 - 4900 yuan/ton. Deals were negotiated on a case - by - case basis, and dealers mostly bought and sold in small quantities. There were cases of selling at lower prices in some areas [2]. - **Cost and Profit**: The wood pulp market was consolidating. On October 20, the quoted price of mainstream softwood pulp brands in Shandong was 5100 - 5500 yuan/ton, and that of mainstream hardwood pulp brands was 4250 - 4300 yuan/ton. The market price of Kunhe chemical mechanical pulp was 3700 yuan/ton. According to Steel Union data, the current production cost of double offset paper was about 4890 yuan/ton, and the production gross profit was about - 247.14 yuan/ton [2]. - **Supply**: Last week, the production of large - scale factories was basically stable, and the industry output increased slightly. The output of double offset paper last week was 203,000 tons, an increase of 6.8%. The capacity utilization rate was 53%, a month - on - month increase of 3.6% [2]. - **Demand**: The growth momentum of the downstream consumer end was weak. The operating rate of some printing factories remained low. Market demand mainly came from users' rigid demand for replenishment, and new orders were relatively limited [2]. - **Import and Export**: In July 2025, the export volume of double offset paper was about 63,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.9% and a year - on - year decrease of 21%. The cumulative export volume from January to July was 503,000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 14.2%. In July 2025, the import volume of double offset paper was about 11,900 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 19.8% and a year - on - year decrease of 30.8%. The cumulative import volume from January to July was 100,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 5% [2]. - **Inventory**: Affected by the slight increase in factory output and the weak performance of the downstream consumer end, factory inventories were accumulating. On October 16, the inventory of double offset paper production enterprises was 1.315 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.2% [2]. - **Summary and Outlook**: Currently, the wood pulp market is in a narrow - range shock state, and the price fluctuation range has narrowed, providing relatively weak cost support for double offset paper. On the supply side, large - scale production enterprises plan to keep production stable. Although the industry faces high production cost pressure and there are phenomena of paper machine conversion and cross - scheduling, the total domestic output of double offset paper is not expected to fluctuate significantly, and the overall supply of the industry remains sufficient. On the demand side, the release of publishing orders is limited, and the demand for social orders continues to be sluggish. The consumer end lacks the willingness and ability to support the market, making it difficult to provide effective support for the market. In general, the current supply - demand fundamentals of double offset paper are weak, and it may experience weak shocks in the short term [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Views of the Report - The pulp main contract fluctuated at a low level last week. The SP2601 opened at 5080, reached a minimum of 5042, a maximum of 5198, and closed at 5122, with a gain of 0.87%. As of October 17, the top 20 long positions in the pulp 2601 contract were 114,426 lots (an increase of 5,390 lots from the previous day), and the top 20 short positions were 127,104 lots (an increase of 5,198 lots from the previous day) [2] - As of October 17, the price of Shandong Yinxing was 5,500 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan/ton from last week; the price of Shandong Wuzhen was 5,000 yuan/ton, a decrease of 50 yuan/ton from last week [2] - It is reported that in September 2025, Chile's Arauco Company's quotation for coniferous pulp Yinxing remained unchanged at $700/ton; the quotation for broadleaf pulp Mingxing was $540/ton, an increase of $20/ton; the quotation for natural pulp Jinxing remained unchanged at $590/ton [2] - In September 2025, China's pulp imports were 2.952 million tons, a month-on-month increase of 11.3% and a year-on-year increase of 10.3%. From January to September, the cumulative imports were 27.061 million tons, a cumulative year-on-year increase of 5.6%. In September 2025, the import volume of bleached coniferous pulp was 691,000 tons, a month-on-month increase of 12.5% and a year-on-year increase of 11.3%. From January to September, the cumulative import volume was 6.431 million tons, a cumulative year-on-year increase of 2.4% [2] - In this period, the downstream demand for household paper was weak, the paper mills' shipments were poor, and the industry's operating rate was low. The large white cardboard manufacturers had strong production and sales, the paper mills' profitability improved, but the traders' shipments were average and their trading enthusiasm was not high. The downstream consumption of offset paper continued to be weak, the operating level of some printing factories was not high, and the procurement was mainly for rigid demand replenishment. The copperplate paper market had sufficient supply, the demand was weak, the consumption speed of downstream base paper was slow, and users purchased according to quantity [2] - As of October 16, 2025, the inventory of mainstream pulp ports in China was 2.074 million tons, a month-on-month decrease of 0.1% and a year-on-year increase of 25.7%. The weak demand from downstream paper mills and limited提货 led to high inventory [2] - The total import volume of pulp continued to increase year-on-year, and the shipments of international mainstream suppliers to the Chinese market also remained at a high level. Coupled with the high port inventory, the short-term pressure on the supply side was difficult to relieve. The overall terminal demand in the downstream base paper market was weak, paper mills mainly purchased raw materials for rigid demand, and the willingness to actively increase purchases was weak. The overall market sentiment was cautious. The current "supply is stronger than demand" pattern in the pulp market continued, but thanks to the relatively strong spot price and the support of import costs, the downward space for prices may be limited, and it is likely to maintain a low-level fluctuation in the short term [2] 3.

The import volume in September continued to decline, significantly reduced compared to 2024 and at a historical low. Radiata pine mainly comes from New Zealand, and fir and spruce mainly come from Europe. There is an obvious trend of resource concentration, with an increase in the proportion from New Zealand and an increase in the proportion of radiata pine imports [3]. Log Industry Data - Inventory - As of October 17, the total inventory of domestic coniferous logs is 2.92 million cubic meters, a decrease of 70,000 cubic meters compared to the previous week, a week - on - week decrease of 2.34%. The radiata pine inventory is 2.41 million cubic meters, a decrease of 50,000 cubic meters compared to the previous week, a week - on - week decrease of 2.03%. The North American timber inventory is 90,000 cubic meters, remaining the same as the previous week. The spruce/fir inventory is 200,000 cubic meters, an increase of 10,000 cubic meters compared to the previous week [4]. - Overall, with the decline in FOB costs and weak support from the downstream peak season, due to the relatively low recent arrivals, the national coniferous log inventory is in a state of destocking. The radiata pine, the main inventory tree species in China, continues to be destocked, and the North American timber inventory remains at a low level [4]. Log Industry Data - Demand - Domestic port log outbound volume: As of October 10, the average daily outbound volume of logs at 13 ports this period is 57,300 cubic meters, a decrease of 8,300 cubic meters compared to the previous period, a week - on - week decrease of 12.65%. Among them, the average daily total outbound volume of 3 ports in Shandong remains the same as the previous period, and the average daily total outbound volume of 3 ports in Jiangsu is 17,900 cubic meters, a decrease of 8,400 cubic meters compared to the previous period, a week - on - week decrease of 31.94% [4]. - The national log outbound volume continues to decline. According to Mulin news, there is a differentiation in demand structure. Price increases are mainly concentrated in high - quality woods such as large - size (e.g., large A - grade) and knot - free woods (e.g., P30, P40). The price increase of high - quality woods has driven a small increase in the price of medium A standard goods, but the overall outbound volume has slightly decreased [4]. - Real estate data shows that the year - on - year performance of shipment and outbound volume is poor. Indicators such as new construction starts and funds in place all reflect the downward trend of the real estate market, which continues to suppress the demand for logs [4]. Log Industry Data - Recent News and Outlook (Tariffs and Imports/Exports) - There is an obvious trend of resource concentration in China's radiata pine imports, with an increasing proportion from New Zealand. There is a growing risk of over - dependence on a single source, and attention should be paid to the impact of international price fluctuations and supply chain disruptions on domestic processing enterprises [5]. - The anti - involution policy has had a certain indirect boost during the off - season this year. The downstream products of logs and black futures varieties are also affected by the construction and manufacturing industries. The correlation between construction wooden squares and coke in the log downstream is 0.9. To some extent, the industrial structure adjustment in the construction industry has a positive impact on the sentiment of the log futures market, and the previous indirect boost and decline of the anti - involution policy have been reflected in the market [5]. - The Sino - US Geneva Joint Statement in May will be beneficial to wood product exports, especially boosting the demand for laminated wood and pulpwood. Downstream factories may replenish log inventories to meet the export demand gap, thereby accelerating log destocking. However, the current sluggish terminal market has a negative feedback effect, and the log market is expected to fluctuate at a low level in the medium and long term [5]. - Regarding the Sino - US economic and trade talks in July, the suspension of 24% reciprocal tariffs and counter - tariffs for 90 days has been extended again, and there is still uncertainty about the export cost of Chinese wood products [5]. - Recently, there have been various tariff change news. The US - EU trade agreement has included wood in the 15% tariff ceiling category, marking a structural reduction in the trade barriers for wood between the US and the EU. New US tariffs on wood came into effect on Tuesday (October 14). The new tariffs impose a 10% ad valorem tariff on the import of softwood and lumber and a 25% ad valorem tariff on some upholstered wood products, and the tax rate will increase again next year. This news mainly affects Vietnam, Canada, and Mexico and may also have an impact on the global trade direction [5]. - Although New Zealand's wood exports to the US currently enjoy tariff exemptions, the market generally expects the US to announce additional tariffs on New Zealand wood products in mid - to late October. The US is the largest export market for New Zealand's knot - free wood, which may lead to a change in the export direction [5]. - The European Commission has announced higher anti - dumping duties on hardwood plywood imported from China, which will come into effect on December 7, 2025. The Mexican Ministry of Economy has issued an announcement making a positive preliminary anti - dumping ruling on cardboard originating from China [5]. Log Industry Data - Recent News and Outlook (Trading and Delivery) - The first batch of deliveries of the 07 contract in each region went smoothly. The market believes that the 5.9 - meter medium A specification is a cost - effective delivery product, with a premium of 50 yuan/cubic meter compared to the benchmark product [6]. - The 09 contract had its first delivery attempts in multiple places, providing strong support for the stable operation of the market. The 2509 contract had 136 delivery matches, an 89% decrease compared to the 1281 matches of the 07 contract. The successful delivery was 131 matches, with a delivery success rate of 96.3%. According to Mulin news, as the delivery month approaches, some processing plants said they will reduce spot log purchases and wait for the delivery goods of the 11 contract to enter the market. The downstream is generally satisfied with the quality of the delivery standard products [6]. Log Industry Data - Recent News and Outlook (Downstream and Building Materials/Real Estate) - As of October 14, the fund availability rate of sample construction sites is 59.44%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.1 percentage points. The fund availability rate of construction sites has weakened this week. The funds for housing construction projects have improved, while the fund availability of non - housing construction projects has decreased. Some construction sites reported poor post - holiday payment collection and have no plans for rush construction [6]. - In September 2025, the sales volume of large - scale building materials and home furnishing stores nationwide was 130.838 billion yuan, a month - on - month increase of 23.84% and a year - on - year decrease of 8.02%. From January to September, the cumulative sales volume was 1.044801 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 3.75% [6]. Log Industry Data - Strategies and Suggestions - The log futures prices increased significantly from July to August, mainly due to factors such as shortages of some log specifications, rising FOB prices, and inventory preparation for the 09 futures contract delivery. The spot log prices also increased continuously, especially the 5.9 - meter medium A with a large increase driven by delivery profits. Due to the negative outlook for real estate demand in the future, the near - and far - month prices diverged after entering the delivery month. The sentiment in the near - month market was weak, the 09 contract remained at a low level. After the main contract switched to 2511, the 11 contract reached a phased low in early September and then rebounded with oscillations [7]. - The increase in September was mainly affected by rising FOB prices and some positive factors during the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season. It is reported that laminated wood processing plants have a demand for non - blue - stained raw materials. The FOB prices from New Zealand and domestic spot prices remain relatively strong. However, the futures prices dropped rapidly after the holiday in October, mainly due to the pessimistic outlook for downstream demand in the future, the difficult - to - change negative situation in the real estate industry, the end of pre - holiday inventory preparation demand, and the average post - holiday demand. According to Mulin statistics, there is pressure for an increase in future arrivals, and the inventory trend may change from destocking to stockpiling [7]. - The current main contract, 2601, is oscillating strongly, with a divergence between near - and far - month prices. The 2511 contract had a large decline previously and has rebounded slightly recently. As the delivery month approaches, attention should be paid to risks. It is expected that with stable FOB prices in the next period, the log prices may continue to oscillate during the seasonal peak season. However, if the downstream actual demand continues to fall short of expectations and there are no positive factors in tariffs and the real estate sector, the far - month contracts may also experience a discount when entering the delivery month and potentially decline to a lower level. It is advisable to adopt a wait - and - see approach [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - The spot price of domestic whole milk in the Shanghai market dropped to 14,300 yuan/ton, a decrease of 300 yuan/ton from last week, while the US dollar price of Thai 20 - standard rubber in the Qingdao Free Trade Zone remained unchanged at 1,850 US dollars/ton [3]. - In the producing areas, rainfall in northeastern and northern Thailand eased, with a large decline in cup - rubber prices, while in southern Thailand, glue prices rebounded. In Yunnan, the weather was good, glue output was stable, and raw material prices decreased slightly. In Hainan, although rain affected tapping, weak procurement by factories dragged down raw material prices. In Vietnam, glue supply was normal, and stable procurement supported prices [3]. - The capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tire sample enterprises was 71.07%, a 28.92% increase from the previous week but an 8.57% decrease year - on - year. The capacity utilization rate of all - steel tire sample enterprises was 63.96%, a 22.43% increase from the previous week and a 4.98% positive year - on - year growth. Tire enterprises resumed work as planned, driving a significant increase in capacity utilization [3]. - As of October 12, 2025, China's natural rubber social inventory was 1.08 million tons, a decrease of 7,700 tons (0.7%) from the previous week. The total inventory of natural rubber in bonded and general trade in Qingdao was 456,000 tons, a decrease of 500 tons (0.11%) from the previous period. Bonded area inventory increased by 2.02% to 70,800 tons, and general trade inventory decreased by 0.49% to 385,200 tons [3]. - In the future, rainfall in major natural rubber producing areas is expected to ease, and tapping operations are likely to normalize. Global natural rubber supply is expected to enter a seasonal increase cycle, putting downward pressure on raw material prices. The terminal tire market lacks highlights, and demand recovery is slow. Tire enterprises continue to purchase natural rubber on a need - to - fill basis, and demand support for raw material prices is limited. Inventory reduction is expected to slow down, and some regions may face inventory accumulation pressure. In the short term, the natural rubber market may be under pressure [3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Natural Rubber Price Data - There are charts showing the basis of natural rubber and 20 - standard rubber, including the market mainstream price of Yunnan - produced natural rubber in Shanghai, the closing price of the main contract of SHFE natural rubber, the market price of Thai - produced STR20 dry rubber in the Qingdao Free Trade Zone, and the closing price of the main contract of SHFE 20 - standard rubber [5][6] Main - producing Countries' Rubber Output and China's Natural Rubber Imports - There are charts presenting the monthly output of natural rubber in ANRPC member countries and China's natural rubber imports from 2021 to 2025 [8][9][10] Tire Production - There is a chart showing the monthly tire production from 2021 to 2025 [11][12] Tire Enterprise开工率 - There are charts showing the weekly semi - steel and all - steel tire enterprise开工率 from 2021 to 2025 [14][15][16] Tire Enterprise Inventory - There are charts showing the weekly available inventory days of semi - steel and all - steel tires in Shandong factories from 2021 to 2025 [18][19][20][21] Natural Rubber Inventory - There are charts showing the 20 - standard rubber futures inventory, natural rubber futures inventory, natural rubber social inventory, Qingdao Free Trade Zone inventory, and Qingdao general trade inventory from 2021 to 2025 [24][25][26][27][28][29]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Macroeconomic uncertainties increase with the US government shutdown, suspension of USDA reports, and fluctuating tariff statements from Trump, leading to a recent weakening of US cotton due to lack of news guidance. In China, new cotton is concentrated for listing, with the seed - cotton purchase price rising in the second half of the National Day holiday and then falling recently due to Sino - US tariff uncertainties. The "Golden September" performance is below expectations, and the market has low expectations for "Silver October" [3]. - Currently, the mainstream seed - cotton purchase price in the market has limited pressure on the futures market for hedging when converted to lint prices. With general downstream demand and expected yield increase, the upward momentum is also limited. Whether there will be a price increase depends on the later trend of seed - cotton prices. In the short term, both upward and downward momentum of Zhengzhou cotton is insufficient [3]. - Attention should be paid to macro factors, demand, and seed - cotton prices. The significant year - on - year increase in the quantity of cotton under official inspection calls for attention to the difference between actual yield and expected yield [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Cotton Production and Sales - As of October 10, 2025, the national new cotton picking progress was 32.6%, 2.6 percentage points higher than the same period last year and 3.1 percentage points higher than the average of the past four years. The national delivery rate was 73.1%, 12.4 percentage points higher than the same period last year and 20.5 percentage points higher than the average of the past four years [3]. - As of October 12, the cumulative officially inspected lint cotton nationwide was 37.48 tons, while in the same period of the previous year, only 15.03 tons were inspected [3]. - As of October 13, 24:00, the 2025/26 cotton inspection volume was about 41.9 tons, a year - on - year increase of about 180% [37]. 3.2 Textile and Apparel Exports - In September, China's textile and apparel exports were $24.42 billion, a year - on - year decrease of 1.4%, with the decline narrowing by 3.6 percentage points compared to the previous month. Among them, clothing exports were $12.45 billion, a decrease of 8%, and textile exports were $11.97 billion, an increase of 6.5% [4]. - From January to September, China's cumulative textile and apparel export volume was $221.69 billion, a slight year - on - year decrease of 0.3% [4]. 3.3 Industry Operation - As of Monday this week, the yarn mill operating load index was 50.7, up from the end of September; the cloth mill operating load index was 52, down from the end of September but showing an upward trend after the holiday, and further tracking is needed [4]. - In terms of finished product inventory, both yarn mills and cloth mills saw inventory accumulation after the holiday. In terms of raw material inventory, the cotton inventory of yarn mills has been on a downward trend since mid - to - late September and is currently at a slightly higher level compared to the same period in previous years, indicating that yarn mills have no strong intention to replenish raw materials. The cotton yarn inventory of weaving mills is currently at a relatively low level compared to the same period in previous years, but after a rapid increase in the early stage, the current inventory level has stabilized [4]. 3.4 Price Trends - From September 30 to October 14, 2025, the price of the Zhengzhou cotton active contract increased by 50 yuan/ton, while the ICE active contract price decreased by 2.29 cents/lb [6]. - From September 30 to October 13, 2025, the CotlookA price index decreased by 1.60 cents/lb, and the Indian S - 6 spot price decreased by 1500 rupees/candy [9]. - From September 30 to October 14, 2025, the import yarn port pick - up prices of India C32S, Vietnam C32S, and Indonesia C32S decreased by 80 yuan/ton, 50 yuan/ton, and 50 yuan/ton respectively [10]. - From September 30 to October 14, 2025, the import cotton arrival prices of US EMOT M and Brazilian M decreased under different tariff methods [10]. 3.5 US Cotton Situation - As of the week ending September 18, 2025/26 US upland cotton weekly contracts were 19,500 tons, a 54% decrease from the previous week, a 53% decrease from the four - week average, and a 19% decrease year - on - year. The US government shutdown led to the suspension of new data release by the USDA [22]. 3.6 Inventory and Warehouse Receipts - As of Thursday this week, the total of Zhengzhou cotton warehouse receipts and valid forecasts was 2869 lots, and the total of Zhengzhou yarn warehouse receipts and valid forecasts was 6 lots [67].
