Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The downstream demand for red dates remains in the seasonal consumption off - season, with a slow terminal sales pace, low purchasing willingness of traders, and a light market trading atmosphere. The supply of old red dates is sufficient, and the high temperature in the producing areas has not significantly affected the growth, showing no significant downward trend in production. The current second - crop fruit - setting situation is better than expected, and the third - crop is still in the critical fruit - setting period. It is expected that the red date price will mainly fluctuate within a range in the short term [8][40] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1走势回顾 (Trend Review) - **Futures Price**: Last week, the red date futures market showed a range - bound pattern. As of last Friday's close, the CJ601 contract was reported at 10,445 yuan/ton, down 0.29%. The trading volume was 775,747 lots, and the open interest was 125,910 lots. The number of red date futures warehouse receipts on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange was 8,813, a decrease of 80 from the previous trading day. The warehouse receipts decreased by 158 last week, a decline of 1.76% [5][13] - **Spot Price**: In the Xinjiang producing area, the temperature was 20℃ - 33℃ last week with sporadic precipitation. The first - crop flower fruit - setting was average, but the temperature drop and rainfall in early July significantly increased the fruit - setting rate of the second and third - crop flowers. The prices of common - grade grey dates in Aksu, Alar, and Kashgar were 4.8, 5.2, and 6 yuan/kg respectively. In the sales areas, the arrival volume in Hebei Cuierzhuang exceeded 40 trucks, with the average price of first - grade grey dates at 8.7 yuan/kg, and the downstream showed strong purchasing enthusiasm. The price in the Henan market remained stable, with the average price of first - grade grey dates at 8.7 yuan/kg, and the downstream purchased as needed. In Guangdong Ruyifang, the average daily arrival was 3 trucks, with the average price of first - grade grey dates at 9.80 yuan/kg, and the average daily trading volume was about 1 truck [7][17][20] 3.2库存情况 (Inventory Situation) - According to Mysteel Agricultural Products data, the physical inventory of 36 sample points last week was 10,090 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.23% and a year - on - year increase of 73.07%, indicating a decline in inventory. The arrival volume in the Hebei market rebounded. Although it is in the traditional consumption off - season, the downstream has phased replenishment needs, driving up the price of high - quality goods and significantly increasing the circulation rate. The price in the Guangdong market remained stable, and the goods circulation rhythm was relatively slow [24] 3.3利润分析 (Profit Analysis) - According to Mysteel Agricultural Products data, the average purchase price of grey dates in the Xinjiang main producing area last week was 5.33 yuan/kg. The reference price of first - grade finished products in the Hebei sales area market was 8.60 - 8.90 yuan/kg, and the freight from Aksu to Cangzhou was 380 - 400 yuan/ton. The gross profit was equivalent to 1.92 yuan/kg, an increase of 0.06 yuan/kg from the previous week [28] 3.4产量分析 (Yield Analysis) - According to Mysteel Agricultural Products data, the estimated new - season yield is 56 - 620,000 tons, a decrease of 5 - 10% compared to the 2022 season and a decrease of 20 - 25% compared to the 2024 season, showing no significant downward trend in production [33] 3.5产区天气情况 (Weather Conditions in the Producing Areas) - In 2025, the accumulated temperature in the Xinjiang red date main producing area was higher than the same period in previous years. Taking Aksu as an example, although there was a low temperature of - 18℃ in January, the dormant period of jujube trees was not affected by freezing damage, and the budding period in mid - April was earlier than usual. After the girdling operation of red dates, the high - temperature weather in the producing area gradually subsided, and there was no large - scale physiological fruit drop. In terms of precipitation, the precipitation in Aksu was 6mm, a decrease of 49.19mm compared to the same period last year, and the precipitation in Kashgar was 17mm, at a low level in recent years. The quality of jujube fruits is likely to be higher than that of the previous season. After mid - August, jujube fruits will gradually start to gain sugar. Continuous attention should be paid to the weather changes in the producing area [39] 3.6后市展望 (Market Outlook) - The downstream demand for red dates remains in the seasonal consumption off - season, with a slow terminal sales pace, low purchasing willingness of traders, and a light market trading atmosphere. The supply of old red dates is sufficient, and the high temperature in the producing areas has not significantly affected the growth, showing no significant downward trend in production. The current second - crop fruit - setting situation is better than expected, and the third - crop is still in the critical fruit - setting period. It is expected that the red date price will mainly fluctuate within a range in the short term [8][40] 3.7操作策略 (Operation Strategy) - Mainly conduct range trading and continuously monitor the impact of recent high temperatures on the third - crop fruit - setting [9][41]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View The improvement in the methanol fundamentals is limited, and the significant increase in port methanol inventory will suppress the upside potential of methanol. Methanol demand remains weak, and it is likely to trade in a weak range in the short - term. It is recommended to wait and see for now [8][9]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Methanol Trend Review Last week, the fundamentals of methanol improved marginally, and methanol futures fluctuated. By the Friday afternoon close, the weighted methanol futures closed at 2,386 yuan/ton, down 0.25% from the previous week. The port methanol market fluctuated narrowly. The traditional downstream demand in the port area was still weak, and the large inventory build - up in the port area suppressed the market, but macro factors and concentrated cargo rights provided support. The inland methanol market showed regional differentiation [12]. 3.2 Methanol Fundamental Analysis - **Production**: Last week, China's methanol production was 1,869,725 tons, a decrease of 30,003 tons. The device capacity utilization rate was 82.69%, a week - on - week drop of 1.58%. The loss of production capacity exceeded the recovery, leading to a decline in capacity utilization [13]. - **Downstream Demand**: Overall, the downstream demand for methanol was stable. The capacity utilization rate of olefins increased slightly, that of dimethyl ether remained flat, that of glacial acetic acid decreased slightly, that of chlorides increased slightly, and that of formaldehyde decreased [15][17]. - **Inventory**: As of July 16, 2025, the inventory of Chinese methanol sample production enterprises was 352,300 tons, a decrease of 4,600 tons from the previous period, a week - on - week drop of 1.28%. The order backlog of sample enterprises was 243,100 tons, an increase of 21,900 tons from the previous period, a week - on - week increase of 9.89%. The port sample inventory was 790,200 tons, an increase of 71,300 tons from the previous period, a week - on - week increase of 9.92% [20][23]. - **Profit**: Last week, the average weekly profit of domestic methanol samples mostly declined. The profit margins of coal - based and coke - oven gas - based methanol narrowed, and the loss of natural - gas - based methanol widened [26]. 3.3 Methanol Trend Outlook - **Supply**: This week, it is expected that there will be more restarts than maintenance of methanol devices. China's methanol production is expected to be around 1.9349 million tons, and the capacity utilization rate will be around 85.57%, an increase from last week [30]. - **Downstream Demand**: The olefin industry's operation is expected to rise slightly, dimethyl ether's capacity utilization rate is expected to remain flat, the capacity utilization rate of glacial acetic acid is expected to increase, that of formaldehyde is expected to decrease, and that of chlorides is expected to increase [31]. - **Inventory**: The inventory of Chinese methanol sample production enterprises is expected to reach 366,300 tons, with a slight inventory build - up. The port methanol inventory is also expected to continue to increase. Overall, methanol demand remains weak, and it is likely to fluctuate in the short - term [33].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the price of the main contract of domestic natural rubber futures fluctuated upward with a relatively large increase. Looking ahead, from a macro perspective, the data released last week showed that the US CPI increased year-on-year in June, the PPI was flat month-on-month, and the number of initial jobless claims decreased for the fifth consecutive week, increasing market expectations for a Fed rate cut in September. China's GDP grew by 5.3% year-on-year in the first half of the year. Fundamentally, on the supply side, recent weather disturbances in major producing areas have led to a shortage of raw material supply, supporting rubber prices, but there is still a strong expectation of increased supply. Imports increased year-on-year in June. On the demand side, the operating rates of tire enterprises rebounded last week, and finished product inventories remained at a historical high. In the terminal automobile market, automobile production and sales and heavy truck sales improved in June, and continuous consumption stimulus policies in China boosted demand. China's tire exports increased slightly year-on-year in the first half of the year. In terms of inventory, the inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange continued to decline slightly last week; China's natural rubber social inventory and the total inventory in Qingdao both increased slightly. In summary, weather disturbances in major producing areas support raw material prices to remain firm, terminal demand has improved, China's macro sentiment is positive, and the commodity market atmosphere has warmed up, driving the rubber market to continue to strengthen. It is expected that the market may maintain a slightly stronger oscillatory trend in the short term [8][85].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short term, the rising spot price boosts market sentiment, but the significant pressure on the breeding side may limit the price increase of eggs [8][60]. - It is recommended to go long with a light position on dips and continuously monitor the recovery of demand and the reduction of production capacity [9][61]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1. Trend Review 3.1.1. Futures Price - Last week, the main contract of egg futures changed from 2508 to 2509, with the market oscillating. As of last Friday's close, the JD2509 contract was reported at 3,595 yuan per 500 kilograms, up 0.03%, with a trading volume of 340,339 lots and an open interest of 257,912 lots [5][13]. 3.1.2. Spot Price - Last Friday, the average price of eggs in the main producing areas was 3.05 yuan per jin, up 0.13 yuan per jin from the previous day; the average price in the main selling areas was 3.09 yuan per jin, up 0.15 yuan per jin from the previous day [17]. - Last week, the egg price in the main producing areas showed a strong trend. At the beginning of the week, the market's bullish sentiment increased, the inventory decreased, and the egg price rose accordingly. In the middle of the week, the terminal procurement slowed down, and the price stabilized. Near the weekend, the market's bullish sentiment emerged, and the egg price rose again. The egg price in the selling areas continued to be strong, driven by the rising price in the producing areas, with active downstream procurement. The high - temperature weather led to a decline in the laying rate and a shortage of supply in the producing areas, resulting in a decrease in the arrival volume in the selling areas, and the egg price rose steadily under the dual support of supply and demand [7][18]. 3.1.3. Chicken Chick Price - Last week, the chicken chick price continued to be weak. The average price of commercial chicken chicks in key national regions was 3.74 yuan per chick, with a month - on - month decline of 0.53% and a year - on - year increase of 15.79%. The utilization rate of hatching eggs was about 60% - 70%. The high inventory of laying hens and the continuous loss of breeding enterprises, combined with the cautious expectation of the future market and the difficulty of breeding management in summer, led to low replenishment enthusiasm and a significant slowdown in the chick - arranging progress of breeding enterprises [22]. 3.1.4. Old Hen Price - Last week, the old hen price continued to rise. The average price of old hens in key producing areas was 4.85 yuan per jin, up 0.19 yuan per jin from the previous week, with a growth rate of 4.08%. The rising egg price boosted the confidence of the breeding side in the future egg market, and the rising old hen price further strengthened the bullish expectation of the breeding side. The overall culling willingness was low, the slaughter volume decreased significantly, and the circulation efficiency of the live - poultry market improved [27]. 3.2. Fundamental Analysis 3.2.1. Supply Side - **In - production Laying Hen Inventory**: The number of newly - opened laying hens in July is expected to increase month - on - month. The actual slaughter volume of old hens this month is expected to be less than the theoretical value, and the inventory of in - production laying hens may increase month - on - month, with an estimated value of about 1.285 billion [31]. - **Shipping Volume in Producing Areas**: The shipping volume in the main producing areas increased month - on - month. Last week, the shipping volume of representative markets in the main producing areas was 6,229.57 tons, up 1.30% month - on - month and down 16.29% year - on - year. The rising egg price drove the downstream procurement enthusiasm, but the decline in the laying rate due to weather factors restricted the shipping rhythm [36]. - **Old Hen Slaughter**: Last week, the total slaughter volume of old hens was 489,600, down 7.45% month - on - month, and the average slaughter age was 503 days, unchanged from the previous week. The rising egg price led to a strong reluctance to sell among breeders, and the slaughter enthusiasm decreased significantly [41]. 3.2.2. Demand Side - **Arrival Volume in Selling Areas**: The arrival volume in the selling areas decreased. At the beginning of last week, the price increase in the producing and selling areas led to an increase in the arrival volume, but as the egg price stabilized and the temperature was high, the arrival volume decreased [46]. - **Sales Volume in Selling Areas**: As of last Thursday, the egg sales volume was 5,757.91 tons, down 2.94% month - on - month. The egg price rebounded, and the selling areas accelerated inventory clearance. Affected by the high - temperature weather, the inventory in each circulation link was low, and the terminal and food enterprises only purchased as needed [50]. 3.2.3. Inventory Situation - As of last Friday, the national production - link inventory was 0.5 days, down 0.03 days from the previous day, with a decrease of 5.66%. The circulation - link inventory was 0.73 days, down 0.01 days from the previous day, with a decrease of 1.35%. The egg inventory decreased month - on - month. The low - price sales were fast, and the decline in the laying rate due to high - temperature weather led to a tight supply and a faster inventory clearance [54]. 3.2.4. Laying Hen Breeding Cost and Profit - Last week, the laying hen breeding cost was 3.53 yuan per jin, down 0.01 yuan per jin month - on - month, with a decline of 0.28%.
