Report Information - Report Title: Index Monthly Report [1] - Date: November 3, 2025 [2] - Researchers: Nie Jiayi, Huang Wenxin, He Zhuoqiao [3] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - In October, the new round of Sino-US game became the main factor affecting the market. The overall A-share market oscillated. After the Sino-US leaders' meeting in Busan, South Korea, although the negotiation results sent positive signals, the market weakened after the positive news landed due to over - inflated market expectations. The Fed cut interest rates in October, but the post - meeting statement was slightly hawkish, and the probability of a December rate cut declined. The economic data in September showed increased fundamental pressure, and policies were needed to boost the economy. With the easing of the external environment and the "15th Five - Year Plan" injecting new policy expectations into the market, the stock index is expected to continue its medium - to long - term strong trend after short - term shock consolidation at the key pressure level of 4,000 points on the Shanghai Composite Index. The market style should still focus on the dumbbell strategy, with balanced allocation of CSI 300 and CSI 500 [6]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review 1.1 Market行情回顾 - Since the beginning of the year, the A - share market has shown a trend of "short - term correction followed by a strong run, and a rebound after a sharp decline due to external shocks". Before the Spring Festival, the market was cautious due to uncertainties after the new US president took office. After the Spring Festival, the technology sector led the market under the influence of positive news. In late March, the market corrected again due to approaching the annual report disclosure period. After the US announced "reciprocal tariffs" in April, the A - share market broke through the support level. Then, with factors such as "national team" funds and better - than - expected Sino - US tariff negotiations, the index rebounded. After the "anti - involution" policy and the trillion - level infrastructure project of the Yajiang Hydropower Station, relevant concept sectors rotated and rose. After the "9·3 Parade", the market became cautious, and the index consolidated at a high level [8]. - In October, the Sino - US game affected the market. The overall A - share market oscillated. After the US softened its stance, the Shanghai Composite Index broke through 4,000 points. After the negotiation results in Malaysia and the leaders' meeting in South Korea were finalized, the market became cautious again, and the index slightly corrected.

Macroeconomic Tracking 3.1 Sino - US New Round of Tariff Game, Leaders' Meeting as Market Sentiment Turning Point - Before the end of September, the Sino - US trade situation was generally easing, and a preliminary agreement was reached on the TikTok issue. In early October, the game between the two sides escalated unexpectedly. The US announced a series of measures, and China counterattacked. In the middle of the month, the US attitude softened, and the domestic capital market sentiment reversed. At the end of the month, the Sino - US leaders met in Busan, South Korea, and reached consensus on multiple issues. However, the market weakened after the positive news landed [44][45][49]. 3.2 Fed's Interest Rate Cut in October, Post - Meeting Statement Slightly Hawkish - On October 30, the Fed cut the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 3.75% - 4.00%, which was in line with market expectations. Fed Chairman Powell said that the December interest rate cut path was not preset, and the market interpreted it as hawkish. The probability of a December rate cut declined, and gold and US stocks oscillated lower in the short term [50]. 3.3 Macroeconomic Data Analysis: Economic Slowdown in Q3, Widening Gap between Domestic and External Demand in September, Policy Boost Needed - In Q3, GDP grew by 4.8% year - on - year, 0.4 percentage points lower than in Q2, indicating increased economic growth pressure. From the perspective of the production method, the year - on - year growth rates of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries were 4.0%, 4.2%, and 5.4% respectively. From the perspective of the expenditure method, the contributions of final consumption expenditure, capital formation, and net exports to the economy in Q3 were 56.6%, 18.9%, and 24.5% respectively. In September, the gap between domestic and external demand widened further, and the cumulative investment growth rate turned negative. The domestic demand slowed down, while the external demand accelerated. The growth rate of fixed - asset investment turned negative, and the decline in real estate investment continued to expand [51][52]. 3.4 Liquidity Analysis: Margin Trading Balance Continuously Breaking Through, Slowdown in Household Deposit Transfer in September, Possibly Affected by Market Volatility - In October, the new social financing scale was 3.53 trillion yuan, 233.9 billion yuan less than the same period last year. The growth rate of social financing stock was 8.70%. The new RMB loans were 1608.1 billion yuan, 366.1 billion yuan less than the same period last year. M1 increased by 7.2% year - on - year, and M2 increased by 8.4% year - on - year. In the stock market, margin trading funds continued to drive the market up in October, but the growth rate slowed down. As of October 30, the A - share margin trading balance was 2499.048 billion yuan, an increase of 104.932 billion yuan compared with the end of September, with the increment decreasing by 62.457 billion yuan compared with the previous month. The proportion of A - share margin trading purchases in the total market turnover was 11.45% as of October 30, a decrease of 0.38 percentage points compared with the end of September, at the 97.65% percentile level in the past ten years. Since September, market volatility has intensified, leading to a slowdown in household deposit transfer [63][72]. 4. Market Outlook and Trading Strategies - Externally, after the Sino - US leaders' meeting in Busan, South Korea, although the negotiation results were positive, the market weakened after the positive news landed. Domestically, the economic data in September showed increased fundamental pressure, and policies were needed to boost the economy. The "15th Five - Year Plan" provided policy guidance for the future market style. In terms of liquidity, the margin trading balance continued to break through historical highs and was currently oscillating at a high level. Future Fed rate cuts may bring new liquidity, but the slowdown in household deposit transfer needs further observation. Overall, with the easing of the external environment and the new policy expectations injected by the "15th Five - Year Plan", the stock index is expected to continue its medium - to long - term strong trend after short - term shock consolidation at the key pressure level of 4,000 points on the Shanghai Composite Index. The market style should still focus on the dumbbell strategy, with balanced allocation of CSI 300 and CSI 500 [73]

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%. According to Yongyi data, as of September, the sample farm's breeding sow inventory was 1.1458 million heads, a month - on - month decrease of 0.84% and a year - on - year increase of 4.71%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
