Group 1: Report Information - Report Name: Corn Monthly Report [1] - Date: November 03, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Lin Zhenlei, Yu Lanlan, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, Liu Youran [3][4] - Core Viewpoint: Substitution decreases and cost provides support. Pay attention to the grain selling rhythm and replenish stocks in a timely manner [5] Group 2: Report Core Viewpoints Supply - side - New - crop corn has increased production, and the combined port cost has moved down to around 2,100 yuan/ton. In November, the supply of new corn in Northeast and North China will continue to increase, and port inventories are stabilizing and rising [8]. - With the listing of new corn and the rise in wheat prices, wheat no longer has a feed substitution advantage over corn, and the substitution volume is gradually decreasing. The auction of imported corn has stopped, and the price advantage of alternative imported grains has weakened. Future imports may remain at a low level [8]. Demand - side - The continuous growth of pig inventory drives the feed demand to improve, but the breeding sector is in a loss, the willingness to build corn inventories is low, and spot purchases are not active. Feed enterprises mainly replenish stocks as needed, and their inventories may stabilize and slightly increase [8]. - Deep - processing enterprises have turned losses into profits, the operating rate has rebounded, enterprise inventories have slightly increased, and procurement enthusiasm has increased [8]. Price Trend - Spot prices may fluctuate around the cost price, mainly affected by the grain selling progress and the downstream inventory - building willingness. The supply - demand situation remains loose in November [8]. - For futures, the 2601 contract is still in the peak period of new grain sales, with large supply pressure. However, it is supported by planting costs and the decrease in substitutes. Contracts after 2605 are also supported by the minimum purchase price of wheat [8]. Strategies - Spot enterprises: Mainly replenish stocks appropriately [8]. - Futures investors: Consider lightly entering long positions and set stop - losses [8]. Important Variables - Purchase and storage policies, tariff policies, geopolitical situations, and weather [8] Group 3: Market Review Spot Market - In October, new grain continued to be listed, and corn prices declined seasonally. In Northeast China, prices initially decreased due to large supplies and then increased in the middle of the month. In North China, prices declined due to rainy weather and then rebounded at the end of the month. In the sales areas, prices followed the decline in the production areas [10]. - As of October 31, the reference price of corn in Harbin was 2,010 yuan/ton, and the second - grade corn in Changchun, Jilin was 2,070 yuan/ton. The price of deep - processed corn in Shouguang, Shandong was 2,136 yuan/ton, a decrease of 154 yuan/ton from the previous month. The purchase price of new grain in Jinzhou Port was 2,070 yuan/ton, and the mainstream price of second - grade Northeast corn in Shekou Port, Guangdong was 2,230 yuan/ton, a decrease of 230 yuan/ton month - on - month [10]. Futures Market - As of October 31, the main contract 2601 of Dalian corn futures closed at 2,130 yuan/ton, unchanged from the end of the previous month [11] Group 4: Fundamental Analysis Corn Supply - By the end of October, the autumn grain harvest was nearly completed, and winter wheat sowing progress varied by region [14]. - As of October 24, the total corn inventory in the four northern ports was 1.08 million tons, an increase of 180,000 tons month - on - month and a decrease of 720,000 tons year - on - year. The total corn inventory in southern ports was 607,000 tons, an increase of 157,000 tons from September and an increase of 404,000 tons year - on - year [14]. Domestic Substitutes (Wheat) - As of October 31, the national average corn price was 2,203 yuan/ton, and the average wheat price was 2,510 yuan/ton, with a price difference of 307 yuan/ton [16]. - In October, wheat prices rose widely. Supply was tight in the early stage due to reduced circulation and transportation difficulties, and then the supply - demand situation eased [16]. Imported Substitute Grains - In September 2025, China's grain imports were 15.83 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 12.3% and a year - on - year increase of 12.5%. From January to September, the cumulative grain imports were 106.73 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 16.1% [20]. - The import volume of various grains showed different trends in September. The future import volume of substitute grains may remain low due to quota restrictions and the listing of domestic new - crop corn [20][33]. Feed Demand - In September 2025, the national industrial feed output was 30.36 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.4% and a year - on - year increase of 5.0% [35]. - The theoretical pig slaughter volume shows different trends according to different data sources. Overall, feed production is expected to continue to increase slightly [37]. - As of October 30, the average inventory days of sample feed enterprises were 24.10 days, a month - on - month decrease of 7.34% and a year - on - year decrease of 13.74% [38]. Deep - processing Demand - In October, the raw material corn price decreased, the starch industry's operating rate increased, and the output increased. The consumption of corn by deep - processing enterprises also increased [40]. - The processing profit of starch enterprises has been repaired. The inventory of deep - processing enterprises first decreased and then increased in October [40][41]. Supply - demand Balance Sheet - The 2025/26 production and consumption forecasts of Chinese corn remain the same as last month, with imports reduced by 1 million tons to 6 million tons [47]. - The planting area of corn is expected to increase by 0.3%, and the total output is expected to increase by 0.4%. The consumption is expected to be basically the same as the previous year [47]. Group 5: Future Outlook Supply - side - New - crop corn has increased production, and the supply will continue to increase in November. Port inventories are stabilizing and rising [49]. - The substitution volume of wheat and imported substitute grains will decrease, and future imports may remain at a low level [49]. Demand - side - Feed enterprises' inventory - building willingness is low, mainly replenishing stocks as needed. Deep - processing enterprises' procurement enthusiasm has increased [49]. Price and Strategy - Spot prices may fluctuate around the cost price. Futures prices are supported by costs and substitution factors [49]. - Spot enterprises should replenish stocks appropriately, and futures investors can consider lightly entering long positions [49]

Report Overview - Report Title: "European Line Container Shipping Monthly Report" [1] - Date: November 3, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Macro Financial Research Team [4] - Researchers: He Zhuoqiao, Huang Wenxin, Nie Jiayi [3] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - The year - end peak season is approaching, market expectations are turning positive. Although actual demand may not support a large price increase, a bottom - up recovery trend is likely to form, and the annual freight rate bottom may have been reached. - The conflict in the Middle East is frequent and repeated, and it is expected to be difficult to resolve within the year. The Red Sea may still be difficult to reopen in the short term. - It is recommended to maintain the idea of buying on dips [8][24] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 10 - Month Market Review - Shipping companies raised quotes for late October and November, and the container shipping index stopped falling and rebounded. The SCFIS, the underlying index of container shipping futures, began to rise in late October after 13 consecutive weeks of decline. - Multiple factors supported the strengthening of futures, especially far - month contracts. In early October, Sino - US frictions escalated, and the cease - fire in Gaza was in turmoil. The EC futures main contract 12 in October fluctuated strongly [11] 3.2 Freight Spot Quotation Situation - Quotes for November and December continue to rise. As the long - term contract season approaches, shipping companies are raising freight rates. For example, Maersk's large - container quotes for the Shanghai - Rotterdam route in the first and second weeks of November are $2380 and $2210 respectively. Mainstream shipping companies' quotes in November are concentrated in the range of $2100 - $2800, while CMA CGM has the highest increase, with November quotes ranging from $2520 - $3546 and December quotes rising to $3752 - $4008. However, the prices may not fully materialize [14] 3.3 Container Shipping Supply - Demand Analysis 3.3.1 Demand Side - China's exports in September exceeded expectations, but the forward - looking indicators in October weakened. In September, China's total foreign exports were $328.57 billion, a year - on - year increase of 8.2%. The decline in exports to the US narrowed significantly, and exports to Africa increased substantially. However, due to the end of the seasonal peak shipping demand and uncertainties in Sino - US tariffs, exports still face risks. In October, the new export order index of PMI dropped significantly by 1.9 percentage points to 45.9% [15] - The eurozone is facing pressure from both weakening exports and domestic demand. Multiple economic indicators in the eurozone have slowed down. In August, the EU's industrial production index decreased month - on - month and year - on - year, and commodity exports slowed down significantly year - on - year. The inflation level in Europe is showing a downward trend, while economic growth is under continuous pressure due to geopolitical conflicts and trade frictions [17] 3.3.2 Supply Side - In terms of potential capacity, since July 2024, global new orders for container ships have increased significantly. The order backlog and completion volume of shipbuilding are significantly higher than the same period in previous years. The order backlog of container ships has continued to grow at a high rate this year, and the growth rate accelerated further in August. - In terms of actual capacity, the capacity in November increased compared with October, with the weekly average capacity increasing to about 290,000 TEU, and it is initially estimated to increase to 310,000 TEU in December. - In the Red Sea, after a brief cease - fire, the conflict between Hamas and Israel has escalated again. It is likely that the Red Sea will continue to be bypassed within the year, and there will be no additional capacity supply pressure [22] 3.4 Outlook for the Future - The year - end peak season is approaching, and the market is more optimistic. Although actual demand may not support a large price increase, the freight rate is likely to bottom out and recover. - The conflict in the Middle East is difficult to resolve within the year, and the Red Sea may remain closed in the short term. It is recommended to maintain the strategy of buying on dips [24]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - Supply - The tightness in the ore end is spreading to the smelting end. The supply tension of copper mines persists, and the TC of copper mines is still falling. The supply pressure of refined copper at home and abroad is easing. - Demand - Short - term high copper prices inhibit downstream consumption, but there are still growth expectations for medium - term copper demand. - Macro - The bullish pattern in the macro - aspect remains. Sino - US monetary policy easing expectations will continue to benefit base metals, and copper prices will strengthen [7]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1. Market Review and Future Outlook - **Market Review**: In October, the main contract of Shanghai copper operated in the range of (82300, 89270), with the total open interest rising 11% to 594,000 lots. The spot market turned from premium to discount. Social inventories continued to accumulate slightly. LME copper and COMEX copper also showed certain trends [9]. - **Future Outlook**: The supply pressure of refined copper at home and abroad is easing. The short - term high copper price inhibits downstream consumption, but the medium - term copper demand is expected to grow. The macro - environment is favorable, and copper prices are expected to strengthen [11][13]. 3.2. Supply Side: The Tightness of Raw Materials is Spreading to the Smelting End - **Copper Concentrate Market**: The supply and demand of the global copper concentrate market remain tight. In 2025, the incremental production of global copper mines is expected to be reduced to 270,000 tons. The TC of imported copper concentrates continues to decline, and the domestic supply - demand tension of copper concentrates intensifies [14][15]. - **Cold Material Market**: The import volume of anode copper in China from January to September 2025 decreased significantly year - on - year. The import volume of scrap copper increased. The supply - demand situation of the cold material market is expected to improve in November, and the processing fees are expected to rise steadily [18][19]. - **Smelter Production**: The production of smelters decreased. It is expected that the output of refined copper in China will continue to decline in November, and the output in December may increase slightly [21][22]. 3.3. Demand Side: The Peak Season of Copper Products is Not Prosperous, and the Terminal Demand Shows Resilience - **Domestic Copper Products Production**: From January to September, the output of domestic copper products increased year - on - year. In October, the operating rates of copper rods and their downstream industries were lower than expected, and the new orders were limited [27][29]. - **Automobile Market**: The production and sales of the automobile market have increased for five consecutive months, and the production and sales of new energy vehicles have reached a record high [31][32]. - **Power System**: From January to September, the investment in the power grid increased year - on - year, and it is expected to further increase. The investment in the power source is expected to lag behind that in the power grid [37][38]. - **Home Appliance Industry**: From January to September 2025, the output and export growth rates of home appliances slowed down, and the global home appliance production and sales are expected to face downward pressure [41]. - **Real Estate Industry**: From January to September 2025, the investment, new construction, and completion growth rates of the real estate industry were negative, and it is expected that the real estate industry will not contribute to copper demand in the short term [43].

Report Information - Report Title: Treasury Bond Monthly Report [1] - Date: November 3, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Macro Financial Research Team [4] - Researchers: He Zhuoqiao, Huang Wenxin, Nie Jiayi [3] Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - With the clearing of negatives such as the A - share market re - entering a high - volatility range and the passing of the fastest economic growth stage, and the emergence of positives like the central bank's restart of treasury bond trading, the bond market stabilized and strengthened in October. In November, the bond market environment has improved, and it has entered a stage of accumulating positives. If there are phased disturbances leading to market over - adjustment, it is recommended to actively seize allocation opportunities [9][62]. - The recommended arbitrage strategies include: for the cash - and - carry strategy, there are positive arbitrage opportunities and reverse arbitrage should be participated in cautiously; for the basis strategy, focus on shorting the contract basis; for the inter - delivery strategy, focus on shorting the current - quarter contract and going long on the next - quarter contract; for the inter - variety strategy, recommend the flattening strategy [8]. Summary by Directory 1. October Market Review (1) Domestic Bond Market - In October, treasury bond futures fluctuated and strengthened, mainly stimulated by the resurgence of Sino - US trade disputes and the central bank's restart of treasury bond trading. The 10 - year treasury bond yield fell to below 1.7944% at the end of the month, down 6.72bp from the beginning of the month. Treasury bond futures of all varieties closed up, with the 5 - year treasury bond futures having a relatively smaller increase after duration adjustment. The yield curve showed a bull - flattening feature, and the basis of treasury bond futures further narrowed [11][13][18]. (2) Overseas Market - In October, US Treasury yields first declined and then rose, with a slight decline for the whole month. The US federal government shutdown at the beginning of the month triggered a US dollar credit crisis, leading to the selling of US Treasuries and an increase in yields. Later, the resurgence of Sino - US trade frictions and weak employment data led to a decline in yields. At the end of the month, Powell's hawkish signal caused yields to rebound [20]. (3) Funding Situation - In October, although it was a tax - payment month, the government bond payment pressure was not large. The central bank continued to actively inject funds and announced the restart of treasury bond trading. Inter - bank liquidity was stable and loose, and funding rates fluctuated within a narrow range. DR007 basically fluctuated around 1.4 - 1.43%, and the 1 - year inter - bank certificate of deposit basically remained around 1.67% and further dropped to around 1.64% at the end of the month [24]. 2. Bond Market Environment Analysis (1) Fundamental Situation - Domestic economic indicators have been weakening since June. In the third quarter, GDP grew by 4.8% year - on - year as expected. Exports and consumption were the main supports, while investment demand was the main drag. In October, manufacturing PMI declined seasonally, non - manufacturing PMI improved slightly, and high - frequency indicators showed that the economy continued to repair weakly [31][45][50]. (2) Policy Aspect - In October, both fiscal and monetary policies were strengthened. The government allocated 500 billion yuan from the local government debt balance limit to support projects. The central bank announced the resumption of treasury bond trading in the open market, which is a direct liquidity injection in the short term, but in the long term, there is potential pressure on the bond market if the fiscal tools drive economic improvement [57]. (3) Funding Aspect - In November, the main pressure on the funding side lies in government bond issuance and payment. Although there are large - scale maturities in the open market, the central bank is expected to continue to actively inject funds, and the liquidity pressure should be controllable [58][61]. 3. Next - Month Market Outlook (1) Market Logic and Outlook - The negatives in the bond market have basically been released, and in November, it enters a stage of accumulating positives. However, there are still uncertain disturbances such as the official release of the new regulations on fund sales fees, the stock - bond seesaw effect, and the unexpected increase in government bond supply [62]. (2) Arbitrage Strategy Outlook - Cash - and - carry Strategy: There are positive arbitrage opportunities, and reverse arbitrage should be participated in cautiously. - Basis Strategy: Focus on shorting the contract basis. - Inter - delivery Strategy: Focus on shorting the current - quarter contract and going long on the next - quarter contract. - Inter - variety Strategy: Recommend the flattening strategy [8][64][66].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Supply side: Considering planned出栏量, large pigs, piglets, and the inventory of breeding sows, pig出栏量 is expected to increase slightly until June next year and decline slightly in July. Year-on-year growth in pig出栏量 started in May this year and will continue until July next year. In November, the出栏量 of the breeding side may continue to increase, and the出栏 weight will increase seasonally. The concentrated entry of secondary fattening in October, combined with the release of production capacity, may create dual supply pressure before the Spring Festival [10]. - Demand side: In November, as the weather cools, the demand for curing and enema will increase slightly, and consumer demand will continue to rise. However, the overall increase will be limited. The demand for secondary fattening may decline, weakening the support for prices [10]. - Outlook: Spot prices are expected to fluctuate as supply and demand both increase. Futures prices are expected to be weak and fluctuate, mainly due to the potential dual supply pressure before the Spring Festival, but the impact of curing and enema on demand needs to be monitored [10]. - Strategies: Futures investors are advised to hold short positions or short on rallies with stop-loss. Breeding enterprises are advised to hold hedging short positions [10]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Market Review - Spot market: In October, the average national pig price first declined and then rose, showing a "V" shape, with the monthly average price moving downward. The出栏量 increased, and secondary fattening effectively buffered the supply pressure. The average national pig出栏 price in October was 11.6 yuan/kg, a month-on-month decrease of 1.7 yuan/kg or 12.78%. The expected cost of self - breeding and self - raising decreased, and the profit per head of self - breeding and self - raising was - 34.5 yuan/head, a month - on - month increase of 20 yuan/head; the profit per head of purchasing piglets for fattening was - 258 yuan/head, a month - on - month increase of 50 yuan/head [12]. - Futures market: In October, the main futures contract 2601 fluctuated downward, closing at 11,815 yuan/ton on the 31st, a month - on - month decrease of 540 yuan/ton or 4.37%, with a basis of 235 yuan/ton [13]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis 3.2.1 Long - term Supply: Breeding Sow Inventory - Price: In October, the average market price of 50KG binary sows was 1551 yuan/head, a slight decrease of 42 yuan/head from the previous month [19]. - Inventory: According to official data, as of the end of September 2025, the inventory of breeding sows was 4.035 billion heads, a month - on - month decrease of 0.2% and a year - on - year decrease of 0.7%.

Theoretically, pig出栏量 in October and November will increase month - on - month [36]. - Hogging and secondary fattening: In September, the proportion of large pigs over 140 kg increased. In October, the proportion of secondary fattening sales increased, and the spread between fat and standard pigs widened, leading to increased reluctance to sell [37][38]. 3.2.4 Current Supply: Commercial Pig出栏量 and出栏 Weight -出栏量: In October 2025, the actual出栏量 of the sample was 27.56 million heads, with a completion rate of 105.7%. The planned出栏量 in November decreased by 3.27% compared to the actual出栏量 in October.

In November, the demand for secondary fattening may decline as the utilization rate of pens reaches a high level [52]. - Slaughter: As of the end of October, the slaughter enterprise's operating rate was 35.31%, a month - on - month increase of 3 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 7.59 percentage points. In November, the operating rate is expected to increase slightly [56]. - Terminal demand: In October, consumer demand increased as the weather cooled. In November, consumer demand is expected to continue to rise slightly, but the overall increase will be limited [57]. 3.2.7 Supply - Demand Situation In October, the fresh - meat sales rate of key slaughter enterprises decreased slightly, and the frozen - meat storage rate increased. In November, supply and demand are expected to increase, and the fresh - meat sales rate may fluctuate steadily, while the frozen - meat storage rate will be adjusted narrowly [65][67]. 3.3 Later Outlook - Supply side: Pig出栏量 is expected to increase slightly until June next year and decline slightly in July. In November, the出栏量 of the breeding side may increase, and the出栏 weight will increase seasonally. The concentrated entry of secondary fattening in October may create dual supply pressure before the Spring Festival [69]. - Demand side: In November, consumer demand is expected to increase slightly as the weather cools, but the overall increase will be limited. The demand for secondary fattening may decline, weakening the support for prices [69]. - Outlook: Spot prices are expected to fluctuate, and futures prices are expected to be weak and fluctuate, mainly due to the potential dual supply pressure before the Spring Festival, but the impact of curing and enema on demand needs to be monitored [69][70]. - Strategies: Futures investors are advised to hold short positions or short on rallies with stop - loss. Breeding enterprises are advised to hold hedging short positions [70].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The black metal commodity futures have rebounded significantly due to positive expectations from industry policies and the rigid increase in costs of coal, coke, and ore. It is expected that the market will continue to show a fluctuating and strengthening trend after a period of adjustment in the first and middle of November, but may decline again in the later part of November. Attention should be paid to the cooperation of the spot market and the positive cycle effect on the raw material market caused by the improvement of steel profits [9]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Conditions and Outlook - **Futures Market**: On October 31, the main contracts of rebar and hot-rolled coil futures 2601 generally rose first and then fell.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The polyolefin market is currently facing a continuous imbalance between supply and demand, which suppresses prices. High production expectations were realized in Q3, with new production capacity gradually released. In November, the demand is expected to weaken, and the cost side also lacks support. Overall, the downward pressure on polyolefin prices is expected to continue, and the market may fluctuate in the bottom range, with weak support from potential phased restocking demand due to low absolute prices [7][75][76]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Market Review and Operational Suggestions - **Quarterly Performance**: In Q1, different upstream production rhythms led to different supply pressures for plastics and PP. In Q2, the market declined due to tariff impacts and weak demand. In Q3, the market was driven by policies, with a temporary rebound followed by a decline. In October, new production capacity and weakening cost support led to significant price drops [12][13]. - **Spot Market**: In October, the PE market declined.

Market Outlook The polyolefin market will continue to be pressured by weak cost support and a loose supply - demand situation. Although the low absolute price may stimulate phased restocking demand, the market is expected to remain in a bottom - range oscillation [75][76].

Report Information - Report Title: Sugar Monthly Report [1] - Date: November 3, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Agricultural Products Research Team [4] - Report Theme: Repairing the Basis, Zhengzhou Sugar Shows Strength [5] Core Viewpoints - The peak production season in central - southern Brazil has passed, and the later crushing volume may gradually decline. However, India and Thailand are entering a new sugar - making season, so the supply pressure remains [8][57]. - With the raw sugar price falling below 15 cents, major global sugar - producing regions are in a loss state. But whether it will lead to production cuts is an issue for the next season and cannot improve the current sugar price [8][57]. - Market research institutions estimate that the sugar production in Guangxi for the 25/26 season will be around 6.7 million tons, an increase of about 0.5 million tons year - on - year [8][57]. - Downstream enterprises report weak demand due to the overall macro - economic situation and low enthusiasm for sugar procurement [8][57]. - Recently, Zhengzhou sugar has been significantly stronger than raw sugar. This is mainly because the Zhengzhou sugar 601 contract is approaching the delivery month. The large basis in the early stage and the early withdrawal of speculative short - position funds without delivery intention have led to a rebound in the futures price. It is a short - term structural market, and there is a lack of bullish support in the medium - term fundamentals [8][57]. Section Summaries 1. Futures Market Review - In October, the raw sugar index showed a continuous four - week decline and a downward - breaking trend, breaking through the 15 - cent and 14 - cent marks and approaching the lower Bollinger Band of the monthly line [14]. - The Zhengzhou sugar index showed a weak oscillation in October, with the price once falling below the 5400 mark and then rebounding and stabilizing. The rebound was stopped at the 10 - week moving average and the 40 - day moving average [14]. 2. Spot Market Conditions - In October, the spot price of sugar continued to decline. The spot price of Nanning sugar of Guangxi Nanhua Group dropped from 5810 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month to 5700 yuan/ton at the end of the month; the price of Kunming sugar in Yunnan dropped from 5710 yuan/ton to 5620 yuan/ton; the price of processed sugar in Rizhao, Shandong dropped from 5900 yuan/ton to 5870 yuan/ton [18]. - In October, the number of Zhengzhou sugar warehouse receipts plus effective forecasts continued to decrease. At the beginning of the month, there were 9464, and at the end of the month, it decreased to 8116. The registered warehouse receipts decreased from 9464 to 7530, and the effective forecasts increased from 0 to 586 [18]. 3. Futures Market Structure Analysis - In October, both futures and spot markets were weak. The spot market continued to weaken while the futures market oscillated horizontally, and the basis continued to shrink. The basis of the 2601 contract against the Nanning spot price decreased from 325 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month to 206 yuan/ton at the end of the month, and the basis of the 2605 contract decreased from 356 yuan/ton to 270 yuan/ton [22]. - In October, the spread between the main January contract and the secondary main May contract of Zhengzhou sugar widened significantly, mainly because the departure of short - position speculators in the near - month contract made the 01 contract stronger. The spread increased from 35 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month to 65 yuan/ton at the end of the month [22]. - In October, the spread between the London white sugar futures and the New York raw sugar futures main contracts widened, reaching 101 US dollars/ton at the end of the month. The current spread is at a slight profit level for raw sugar processing enterprises [25]. - As of September 23, the net short position of hedge funds and large speculators in raw sugar reached 125,628 contracts, a significant increase from the beginning of the month. Meanwhile, the total open interest in raw sugar futures decreased significantly to 898,935 contracts [25]. 4. Production and Sales Situation - As of the end of May 2025, the 2024/25 sugar - making season ended. The national sugar production was 11.1621 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.1989 million tons, or 12.03% [29]. - As of the end of May 2025, the cumulative sugar sales in the country were 8.1138 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.521 million tons, or 23.07%. The cumulative sugar sales rate was 72.69%, a year - on - year increase of 6.52 percentage points. In May, the single - month sugar sales were 869,200 tons, a year - on - year increase of 22,900 tons. The sales volume in May was relatively low compared to the same period in the past five years [31]. - At the end of May 2025, the national sugar industrial inventory was 3.0483 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 322,100 tons, and it was at a relatively low level in the past five years [35]. 5. Import and Export Situation - In September 2025, the sugar import volume was 550,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 150,000 tons. As of the end of September, the cumulative sugar import volume in the country for this sugar - making season was 4.63 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 12 tons [39]. - In September, the total import volume of syrup and premixed powder was 151,400 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 135,100 tons. As of the end of September in the 24/25 season, the total import volume of syrup and premixed powder was 1.5283 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 625,600 tons. In October, China suspended the import of all syrup and premixed sugar from Thailand, and policy optimization may suppress short - term imports [39][40]. - In October, the price of overseas raw sugar continued to decline, and the trend of Zhengzhou sugar was weakly oscillating, with the internal - external price spread widening. The processing profit of Brazilian raw sugar within the quota increased from around 1420 yuan/ton at the beginning of October to 1785 yuan/ton at the end of the month, and the processing profit outside the quota increased from around 193 yuan/ton to 678 yuan/ton [40]. 6. Production in Overseas Major Producing Countries - In the first half of October 2025, in central - southern Brazil, there were 255 production units in operation (3 less than the same period in the previous season). The sugar cane crushing volume was 34.037 million tons, a year - on - year slight increase of 0.30%. The sugar production was 2.484 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.25%. The proportion of sugar - cane used for sugar production decreased by 3 percentage points to 48.2%. The total ethanol production was 2.013 billion liters, a year - on - year decrease of 1.17% [45][47]. - As of October 16, 2025, in the 2025/2026 season in central - southern Brazil, the cumulative sugar - cane crushing volume was 524.957 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.78%. The cumulative sugar production was 36.016 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.89%. The cumulative total ethanol production was 25.036 billion liters, a year - on - year decrease of 8.23% [48]. - Recently, the port logistics in Brazil has become increasingly tense. As of the week of October 15, the number of ships waiting to load sugar at Brazilian ports increased from 83 to 90, and the quantity of sugar waiting to be shipped increased to 3.7272 million tons, a 3.3% increase from the previous week [52]. 7. Exchange Rate Factors - In October, the US dollar index showed a strong oscillation. The Brazilian real depreciated slightly against the US dollar, and the Thai baht appreciated slightly against the US dollar [54]. - On October 29, local time, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 3.75% - 4.00% and decided to end the balance - sheet reduction from December 1 [55]. 8. Market Outlook - The supply pressure in the raw sugar market remains. Although the production in central - southern Brazil may decline, India and Thailand are starting a new season. The current low price may not lead to production cuts in the short term [57]. - For the domestic sugar market, the supply may increase, but the demand is weak. The recent strength of Zhengzhou sugar is a short - term structural phenomenon, and there is a lack of medium - term bullish factors [57].

Report Overview - Industry: Oils and Fats [1] - Date: November 3, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Agricultural Products Research Team [4] - Researchers: Yu Lanlan, Lin Zhenlei, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, Liu Youran [3] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints - The oils and fats market opened high and closed low, continuing to decline, dragged down by the inventory build - up in palm oil producing areas and the uncertainty of biodiesel policies. The domestic supply of oils and fats is sufficient, and the spot prices fell with the market, while the basis quotes remained stable. For palm oil, there is a strong production increase expectation in the main producing areas, with slowing export data and expected inventory increases at home and abroad, but there are long - term expectations of production cuts and B50. After November, the arrival of imported soybeans is expected to decrease, and with the decline in oil mill crushing volume, soybean oil is likely to turn to inventory reduction. The spot basis quotes of soybean oil will have limited short - term fluctuations due to the poor soybean crushing profit of factories. For rapeseed oil, attention should be paid to the arrival and crushing of Australian seeds and the development of China - Canada relations. The domestic spot basis is stable and slightly strong, continuing the inventory reduction trend. In the short - term, it is regarded as a volatile adjustment, and the lower technical support should be noted. In the medium - to long - term, the idea is to buy on dips [7]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Market Review and Operational Suggestions - **Market Quotes**: In the East China region, the basis of Grade 3 rapeseed oil from October to November is OI2601 + 390, and from December to January is OI2601 + 320; the basis of Grade 1 rapeseed oil from October to November is OI2601 + 480, and from December to January is OI2601 + 400. The basis price of Grade 1 soybean oil in the East China market: in November, it is Y2501 + 200; from December to January, it is Y2501 + 220; from February to May, it is Y2605 + 300; from April to July, it is Y2505 + 220. The quotation of palm oil from Dongguan traders is temporarily stable, with the price of 24 - degree palm oil from various factories in Dongguan being 01 - 80 [7]. - **Market Analysis and Suggestions**: The oils and fats market is affected by multiple factors. In the short - term, it is in a volatile adjustment state, and attention should be paid to the lower technical support. In the medium - to long - term, the strategy is to buy on dips [7]. 3.2. Industry News - The US Department of Agriculture has suspended the release of weekly export sales reports and daily sales announcements due to the government shutdown. Analysts estimate that the weekly export sales of US soybeans for the week ending October 23, 2025, are between 600,000 and 1.6 million tons [9]. - Before the summit between China and the US, COFCO, a Chinese state - owned enterprise, purchased three ships of US soybeans, totaling 180,000 tons, to be shipped from the US West Coast from December to January next year [9]. - Rabobank expects the Brazilian soybean production in the 2025/26 season to reach a record 177 million tons, a 3% increase from the previous year, slightly higher than the current forecast of 175 million tons by the US Department of Agriculture [9]. - According to data from the Brazilian Foreign Trade Secretariat (SECEX), the export pace of Brazilian soybeans in October so far is significantly higher than that of the same period last year. From October 1 to 24, the export volume of Brazilian soybeans was 5.415 million tons, compared with 4.71 million tons in October last year. The average daily export volume in October so far is 300,843 tons, a year - on - year increase of 40.5% [9][10]. 3.3. Data Overview - As of October 27, 2025, the soybean sowing progress in the state of Paraná, Brazil, in the 2025/26 season is 68%, higher than 52% a week ago. The excellent - good rate of soybeans is 98%, and the proportion of average - rated soybeans is 2%. Last week, the excellent - good rate was 99% [18]. - As of October 29, the inventory of imported soybeans in major ports is about 8.3 million tons, compared with 7.7 million tons in the same period last year and a five - year average of 7.4 million tons. The cumulative arrival in this month is 8.2 million tons. According to data tracked and counted by the China Grain and Oil Business Network, the arrival volume of imported soybeans in October 2025 is 8.8 million tons, an increase of 200,000 tons compared with the forecast arrival volume of 8.6 million tons last month, a month - on - month change of 2.18%; an increase of 2.5 million tons compared with the arrival volume of 6.3 million tons in the same period last year, a year - on - year change of 39.44% [18].

Report Summary Report Title Multi-silicon Monthly Report Report Date November 01, 2025 Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core Viewpoint The multi-silicon market is suppressed by fundamentals above and supported by policies below. Wait for a definite opportunity for range breakthrough [4]. Summary by Directory 1. Multi-silicon Market Review and Outlook - **Market Review**: In October, multi-silicon futures contracts continued to oscillate at high levels. The Ps2511 contract closed at 54,350 yuan/ton, up 5.82% monthly, with a trading volume of 2.321 million lots and an open interest of 2,748 lots. The Ps2601 contract closed at 56,410 yuan/ton, up 5.29% monthly, with a trading volume of 2.392 million lots and an open interest of 142,000 lots, a net increase of 109,000 lots. The spot price of multi-silicon remained stable, with the n-type re-feeding material trading in the range of 49,000 - 55,000 yuan/ton, and the average transaction price at 53,200 yuan/ton [9]. - **Market Outlook**: The spot price range of multi-silicon is 49,000 - 55,000 yuan/ton, and the average transaction price is 53,200 yuan/ton. The price range of the multi-silicon futures 2601 contract is 50,000 - 59,000 yuan/ton. The closing price at the end of October has a premium over the spot price, and the upward resistance is increasing. The endogenous driving force for the improvement of multi-silicon supply and demand is limited. The profit of multi-silicon has been significantly repaired, and the monthly output has continued to exceed expectations. In October, the output of multi-silicon was 137,000 tons, which can meet the terminal demand of 68.50GW. The terminal demand is still in the weak stage after the "rush installation", with the monthly demand expected to be about 10GW, the export demand between 20 - 30GW, and the total demand about 40GW. The policy-driven logic takes precedence over the fundamentals. The support policy is that the selling price of silicon materials should not be lower than the comprehensive production cost of enterprises. The effective support provided by the fundamentals is expected to be between 45,000 - 47,000 yuan/ton. The stimulus policy comes from the "state reserve" rumor in the past two months, which has not been realized and should not be priced. Overall, the unilateral driving force is not strong. It is advisable to bet on a rebound at the lower edge of the range or wait for the policy to be realized for a range breakthrough. Do not chase up or sell down within the range [10][11]. 2. Limited Endogenous Driving Force for the Improvement of the Photovoltaic Industry's Supply and Demand - **Price Stability**: The spot prices in the photovoltaic industry generally remained stable. The spot price of industrial silicon was stable, the multi-silicon spot price was stable with low market activity, the prices of silicon wafers showed no obvious changes, and the prices of downstream batteries and components were relatively stable [13]. - **High Profits and Production Will**: In October, the average production cost of multi-silicon was 41,443 yuan/ton, and the theoretical net profit per ton was as high as 9,157 yuan/ton. The high profits and industry self-discipline may weaken the actual effect of anti-involution production cuts. The production willingness of multi-silicon enterprises was high in October, and the actual production cut was less than expected, with the pressure of supply-demand mismatch remaining [14][15]. - **Production and Demand Situation**: The production of silicon wafers and batteries remained stable, and the pressure of terminal demand had not been significantly transmitted to the upstream. The anti-involution price increase in the industry chain stimulated the production of silicon wafers and batteries to continue to rise. From January to September, the silicon wafer production was 488.70GW, with a cumulative year-on-year decrease of 4.59%. In October, the expected production of silicon wafers was between 58 - 60GW, with little monthly change. From January to September, the battery production was 481.48GW, with a cumulative year-on-year increase of 0.51%. In October, the expected production of batteries was about 55GW, with little monthly change. The terminal demand was still in the weak stage after the "rush installation" in the first half of the year. From January to September 2025, the new photovoltaic installed capacity was 240.27GW, with a cumulative year-on-year increase of 49.35%. However, the installed capacities in June, July, August, and September were 14.36GW, 11.04GW, 7.36GW, and 9.65GW respectively, and the installed capacity in September decreased by 54% year-on-year. In terms of external demand, from January to September 2025, the total export volume of photovoltaic modules was 204.27GW, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. In September, the export volume of Chinese photovoltaic modules was 25.63GW, a month-on-month decrease of 6.0% and a year-on-year increase of 46.8%. The supply-demand mismatch pressure remained, and the multi-silicon spot market continued to accumulate inventory. As of October 30, the multi-silicon spot inventory was 273,040 tons, a 13.33% increase from the same period last month, a 1.2% increase from the end of June, and a 7.50% increase from the same period last year. The futures inventory was 27,360 tons, a 14.72% increase from the same period last month [15][16][17]. 3. The Macro and Industrial Policies Were in a Vacuum Period in October - **Policy Frequent in September**: In September, the multi-silicon industry policies were frequently issued, fulfilling the policy expectations of anti-"involution" competition set by the high-level since the end of June. On September 4, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Administration for Market Regulation issued the "Stable Growth Action Plan for the Electronic Information Manufacturing Industry from 2025 - 2026". On September 16, the article "Deeply Promote the Construction of a Unified National Market" was published in the official media, emphasizing the governance of various chaotic phenomena. On the same day, the Standardization Administration of China solicited opinions on 3 mandatory national standards such as "Energy Consumption Quotas per Unit Product of Silicon Polysilicon and Germanium". After the adjustment of the existing production capacity structure, the effective production capacity of domestic multi-silicon will drop to about 2.4 million tons/year, a decrease of 16.4% compared with the end of 2024 and a 31.4% decrease compared with the installed production capacity [32]. - **Policy Evaluation**: Currently, the total production capacity of the multi-silicon industry is significantly excessive. It is expected that the policy logic is not to clear the photovoltaic production capacity but to promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry through policy guidance and market-based operations, with the overall goal of meeting the "dual carbon" target. The multi-silicon industry needs more policies from the policy side and the industry to get out of the bottom cycle of supply-demand imbalance [33].
