Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This year's H1 economic data remained resilient despite tariff disruptions. July's PMI data was below expectations, with both supply and demand sides declining. New export orders and high - frequency port data indicated a potential weakening of the front - loading export effect, and future exports may face pressure. - In terms of funds, the increase in government bond issuance and maturing inter - bank certificates of deposit, as well as fluctuations in the stock and commodity markets, had an impact on capital flow. However, the central bank's supportive attitude towards funds is expected to maintain overall liquidity in the future. - In the context of weak domestic demand recovery and continued loose funds, interest rates are expected to trend downward in the long - term. However, the recent positive sentiment in the stock market has suppressed the bond market, and attention should be paid to the stock - bond seesaw effect [10][13]. Summary by Directory 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - Newly opened production has increased while the culling of old chickens has been sluggish, leading to a larger supply. As a result, the spot price of eggs in the peak season has fallen short of expectations. Near - month short - sellers should continue to squeeze out the premium, and the reverse spread logic prevails in the futures market. However, as the market still anticipates a peak - season rebound in August and September, with the intensification of differences on the futures market after the increase in positions, it is easy to cause reverse fluctuations when the spot price rises. Considering the high inventory throughout the peak season and the fact that subsequent futures contracts cannot reflect the spot price peak, short - sellers should wait for a rebound to sell, and in the short - term, they can appropriately reduce short positions at low prices to avoid position risks [11][12] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Spot Market**: Last week, egg prices unexpectedly declined. After continuous previous increases, downstream demand was insufficient, and there was resistance to high prices. Coupled with an abundant supply, egg prices were under pressure during the week. However, as it is still the peak season, downstream buyers made purchases after the price drop, slowing down the decline. This week, the price of culled chickens remained high, and the average age of chickens slightly increased. For example, the price of large - sized eggs in Heishan decreased by 0.1 yuan to 2.8 yuan per catty, in Guantao by 0.18 yuan to 3 yuan per catty, in Huilongguan (a sales area) by 0.18 yuan to 3.21 yuan per catty, and in Dongguan by 0.25 yuan to 2.98 yuan per catty. With the continuous increase in newly opened production, limited culling of old chickens, and a large laying - hen inventory, but the high temperature affecting the egg - laying rate, high - quality large - sized eggs were in short supply. As the egg price dropped to a relatively low level, the purchasing enthusiasm of traders increased. It is expected that egg prices will stabilize first and then rise next week, but the increase may be limited due to the inventory [11]. - **Chick Rearing and Culling**: Since the second half of last year, the number of chicks reared has been continuously high due to low costs. However, with the intensification of breeding losses and seasonal factors, the number of chicks reared has significantly decreased. In July, the national number of chicks reared was 79.96 million, a month - on - month decrease of 1.9% and a year - on - year decrease of 4.1%. In June, due to low - price losses, the culling of chickens increased, and the average age of chickens dropped by 30 days to around 500 days. However, since July, the market's bullish sentiment has gradually increased, the culling volume has stagnated, the price difference between old chickens and white chickens has remained high, and the average age of chickens has returned to the relatively high level of 507 days [11]. - **Inventory and Trend**: As of the end of July, the inventory of laying hens at sample points was 1.356 billion, higher than previously expected, an increase of 0.16 billion compared to June and a 6.2% increase compared to 1.277 billion in the same period last year. Assuming normal culling, the inventory will continue to increase in the future, with a peak expected in October this year at 1.367 billion, a 0.08% increase compared to the current level. Although it will decline thereafter, it will still remain high, indicating an overall oversupply in the future [11]. - **Demand**: After the plum - rain season, inventory consumption has improved. Subsequently, with the pre - holiday stocking for the Mid - Autumn Festival and National Day, egg consumption is expected to gradually emerge from the shadow of the off - season in the first half of the year. After the pulsed stocking ends, the consumption peak in the second half of the year will gradually arrive [11]. - **Trading Strategy**: For the unilateral strategy, short - sell on rebounds for contracts 09, 10, and 11, with a profit - to - loss ratio of 2:1, a recommended period of 1 - 2 months, and the core driving logic including inventory, spot price, cost, demand, and culling, with a two - star recommendation level and first proposed on July 16. No arbitrage strategy is recommended for now [13] 3.2. Spot and Futures Market - **Spot Price Movement**: Last week, egg prices unexpectedly declined. After continuous previous increases, downstream demand was insufficient, and there was resistance to high prices. Coupled with an abundant supply, egg prices were under pressure during the week. However, as it is still the peak season, downstream buyers made purchases after the price drop, slowing down the decline. This week, the price of culled chickens remained high, and the average age of chickens slightly increased. It is expected that egg prices will stabilize first and then rise next week, but the increase may be limited due to the inventory [20]. - **Basis and Spread**: After the spot price strengthened, it lacked momentum. The current basis is still low, the near - month contracts are under great pressure, and the spread between months tends to be in a reverse spread [23]. - **Culled Chicken Price**: Previously, the culling of old chickens increased, and there was over - culling in some areas, resulting in a significant decline in the price difference between white chickens and culled chickens. However, recently, due to the expectation of price increases in the peak season, the culling of chickens has stagnated [26]. 3.3. Supply Side - **Egg - Laying Hen Rearing**: Since the second half of last year, the number of chicks reared has been continuously high due to low costs. However, with the intensification of breeding losses and seasonal factors, the number of chicks reared has significantly decreased. In July, the national number of chicks reared was 79.96 million, a month - on - month decrease of 1.9% and a year - on - year decrease of 4.1% [33]. - **Culled Chicken Culling**: In June, due to low - price losses, the culling of chickens increased, and the average age of chickens dropped by 30 days to around 500 days. However, since July, the market's bullish sentiment has gradually increased, the culling volume has stagnated, the price difference between old chickens and white chickens has remained high, and the average age of chickens has returned to the relatively high level of 507 days [36]. - **Inventory and Trend**: As of the end of July, the inventory of laying hens at sample points was 1.356 billion, higher than previously expected, an increase of 0.16 billion compared to June and a 6.2% increase compared to 1.277 billion in the same period last year. Assuming normal culling, the inventory will continue to increase in the future, with a peak expected in October this year at 1.367 billion, a 0.08% increase compared to the current level. Although it will decline thereafter, it will still remain high, indicating an overall oversupply in the future [38][41] 3.4. Demand Side - After the plum - rain season, inventory consumption has improved. Subsequently, with the pre - holiday stocking for the Mid - Autumn Festival and National Day, egg consumption is expected to gradually emerge from the shadow of the off - season in the first half of the year. After the pulsed stocking ends, the consumption peak in the second half of the year will gradually arrive [46] 3.5. Cost and Profit - The cost has slightly increased but is still low compared to the same period last year. In terms of profitability, it is at a seasonally low level [51] 3.6. Inventory Side - With the start of spot consumption, the inventory pressure has been relieved, and there is a seasonal downward trend. However, it is still at a relatively high level compared to the same period last year [56]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report The US counter - tariff has been implemented, the results of China - US economic and trade negotiations are not beyond expectations, and the domestic "anti - involution" sentiment has cooled down. Black - series commodities have fluctuated and declined, with a slightly weak sentiment. Domestically, the relatively low inventory of aluminum ingots supports aluminum prices. However, given the off - season for downstream demand and pressure on export demand, the upside for aluminum prices is limited. In the short term, prices are likely to continue to fluctuate weakly. The operating range for the domestic main contract this week is expected to be between 20,200 - 20,700 yuan/ton, and for LME 3M aluminum, it is between 2,520 - 2,620 US dollars/ton [13][14]. 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - In the second half of the year, the price difference between imported sugar processing and Guangxi sugar has narrowed, and the import supply is gradually increasing. The spot import profit outside the quota has remained at the highest level in the past five years, with a relatively high valuation. Coupled with the expected increase in domestic planting area in the next crushing season, assuming that the external market price does not rebound significantly, the probability of the Zhengzhou sugar price continuing to decline in the future is relatively high [9] Group 3: Summary of Each Section 3.1 Week - ly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **International Market Review**: This week, the raw sugar price fluctuated weakly.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The latest overseas iron ore shipments continued to rise, with a significant increase in FMG shipments driving up Australia's overall shipments, while Brazil's shipments declined slightly, and non - mainstream countries' shipments dropped to a relatively low level for the year. Daily hot metal production decreased slightly due to production issues at some steel mills. Port inventories decreased, and steel mills' imported ore inventories increased slightly. - From a fundamental perspective, the steel mill profitability rate remains at a high level, and there is no obvious downward pressure on hot metal production, so demand support still exists. The overall growth on the supply side is limited, and iron ore port inventories are trending downward. - Iron ore prices are affected by domestic commodity policy expectations, downstream profits, and commodity sentiment. After the important meeting in July, the released content was basically in line with expectations, and some aspects were slightly below expectations. In the short term, the overall commodities may be adjusted, and iron ore is expected to fluctuate with downstream prices, mainly in a volatile state. Market divergence still exists, and risk control should be noted. [11][13][14] Summary by Directory 1.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints - External soybean market: The valuation of US soybeans and soybean meal is at a low level. The Brazilian soybean quote is supported by Chinese vessel purchases and Sino - US trade relations. The external soybean market is in a state of low valuation with support and oversupply, lacking a clear directional driver. The domestic soybean import cost is in a state of small - amplitude upward oscillation due to a single supply source [9]. - Domestic double - meal market: The domestic soybean meal spot price fluctuated with the futures this week. The Sino - US negotiation not involving soybeans provided some support, but previous soybean meal vessel purchases and the information of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs promoting the reduction of soybean meal consumption may continue to suppress the valuation. The domestic market had good transactions this week, and the提货 was at a relatively high level. The soybean inventory in China may decline around the end of September, and the domestic soybean - related prices may bottom out and oscillate before that. The soybean meal market is a mix of long and short factors. It is recommended to try long positions at the low end of the cost range and pay attention to crushing margins and supply pressure at the high end, waiting for progress in Sino - US tariffs and new drivers from the supply side. For arbitrage, pay attention to widening the spread of the soybean meal - rapeseed meal 09 contract [9]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Week - on - Week Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **International Soybeans**: US soybeans were weakly declining this week due to good weather bringing harvest pressure and the lack of positive impact on US soybean exports from Sino - US negotiations. The USDA August monthly report may maintain the July report's inventory - to - sales ratio of 7.06% for US soybeans in the 25/26 season and 29.65% for global soybeans in the 25/26 season [9]. - **Domestic Double - Meal**: The domestic soybean meal spot price fluctuated with the futures. The Sino - US negotiation not involving soybeans provided support, but previous vessel purchases and the promotion of reduced soybean meal consumption may suppress the valuation. As of the end of last week, the inventory days of feed enterprises slightly decreased to 8.05 days, slightly higher than the same period last year. The vessel purchase schedule indicates that the domestic soybean inventory may decline around the end of September [9]. - **Strategies**: In the soybean meal market, try long positions at the low end of the cost range and pay attention to crushing margins and supply pressure at the high end, waiting for Sino - US tariff progress and new supply - side drivers. For arbitrage, widen the spread of the soybean meal - rapeseed meal 09 contract [9][10][11]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Market - **Spot Prices**: There are charts showing the spot prices of soybean meal in Dongguan, Guangdong and rapeseed meal in Huangpu, Guangdong [17][18]. - **Basis of Main Contracts**: There are charts showing the basis of the soybean meal 09 contract and the rapeseed meal 09 contract [20][21]. - **Spreads**: There are charts showing spreads such as the soybean meal 09 - 01 spread, soybean meal 09 - rapeseed meal 09 spread, etc. [23][24]. - **Fund Positions**: There are charts showing the net long positions of US soybean and US soybean meal managed funds [26][28]. 3.3 Supply Side - **US Soybean Planting Progress**: There are charts showing the US soybean planting progress, emergence rate, flowering rate, and excellent - good rate [32][33]. - **Weather Conditions**: There are charts showing the weighted precipitation in US soybean - producing areas and Canadian rapeseed - producing areas, and there is a possibility of La Nina occurring from October 2025 to January [35][38]. - **US Soybean Export Progress**: There are charts showing the total export contracts of US soybeans to China in the current market year, the sales completion rate, etc. [52][53]. - **China's Oilseed Imports**: There are charts showing China's monthly soybean and rapeseed imports and forecasts [55][56]. - **China's Oil Mill Crushing**: There are charts showing the soybean and rapeseed crushing volumes of major oil mills [57][58]. 3.4 Profit and Inventory - **Oilseed Inventory**: There are charts showing the soybean port inventory and the rapeseed inventory of major oil mills [61][62]. - **Protein Meal Inventory**: There are charts showing the soybean meal inventory and forecast of coastal major oil mills and the rapeseed meal inventory of coastal major oil mills [64][65]. - **Protein Meal Crushing Profit**: There are charts showing the crushing profits of imported soybeans in Guangdong and imported rapeseed along the coast [66][67]. 3.5 Demand Side - **Soybean Meal Demand**: There are charts showing the cumulative transaction volume of soybean meal in major oil mills in the crop year and the apparent consumption of soybean meal [68][69]. - **Breeding Profit**: There are charts showing the average profit per head of self - breeding and self - raising pigs and the breeding profit of white - feather broilers [71][72].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The report reviews the six unilateral market trends of lithium carbonate futures contracts since their listing on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange in July 2023, and summarizes the driving factors and main industrial contradictions at each time point. As of July 30, 2025, the lithium carbonate contract index has declined by 71.3% since listing, with a maximum decline of about 76%, and experienced four significant rebounds, three of which were around 30% [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Excess Expectation Dominance & Oversold Rebound - After the withdrawal of the new - energy vehicle purchase subsidy policy at the end of 2022, the downstream of the lithium - battery industry chain actively destocked from January to April 2023, and the price of battery - grade lithium carbonate dropped to 170,000 yuan/ton. It rebounded in late April due to downstream restocking, then fell again from early July [4]. - From July to December 2023, the market was dominated by the expectation of oversupply of lithium resources. Global sample mines increased production by about 1.02 million tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in 2023, a 32% increase from 2022. Although global lithium - battery shipments maintained a 27% growth, supply increased more rapidly. The lithium price declined smoothly, with limited supply disturbances and rebound heights [4]. - In mid - November 2023, the lithium carbonate contract accelerated its decline. In early December, it reached the expected cost - support range of 80,000 - 100,000 yuan, then the main contract LC2401 rebounded from around 85,000 yuan to 115,000 yuan and fluctuated in the range for three months [5]. 3.2 Phased Supply - Demand Mismatch - Around the Spring Festival in 2024, low lithium prices reduced the salt factory's production enthusiasm. The domestic lithium carbonate enterprise's February开工率 was about 35%, a significant drop from 43% in January. However, lithium - battery material enterprises were approaching the production peak season, resulting in a short - term supply - demand mismatch. After the Spring Festival, lithium - battery enterprises rushed to buy lithium carbonate, and on February 21, news of environmental disturbances in Jiangxi mines boosted the price. The lithium carbonate index rebounded by about 28.4% in 10 days until March 1 [6]. 3.3 Continuous Inventory Accumulation Suppresses Price - After the rebound in 2024, the lithium carbonate price fluctuated between 110,000 - 120,000 yuan per ton from March to April. Lithium salt factories' production enthusiasm increased due to improved profits. From March, domestic lithium carbonate production increased continuously, with monthly环比增速 of 31.8%, 23.6%, and 18.2% from March to May. After the May Day holiday, downstream demand entered the off - season, and inventory reached a new high on May 9. The lithium carbonate contract entered a new decline cycle, with an index decline of about 36% from May 10 to September 6, 2024 [8][10]. 3.4 Exceeding Demand Expectation & Early Stockpiling - From October 22 to November 13, 2024, the lithium carbonate index rose about 20%. The extension of the lithium - battery material production peak season and early stockpiling by downstream enterprises were the main drivers. The new - energy vehicle production and sales increased significantly in September and October 2024, and lithium - battery enterprises may have rushed to export products to avoid potential US tariffs. As of November 7, 2024, the domestic lithium carbonate inventory had decreased by nearly 22,000 tons from the August peak. Some downstream enterprises stockpiled in advance, and some lithium resource enterprises lowered their production and sales targets, boosting market sentiment [13][14]. 3.5 Cost Collapse & Commodity Pessimism Resonance - From March to June 2025, the pressure on lithium salt processing profits was transmitted to the mining end, and the price of lithium concentrate dropped nearly 30% in three months. The prices of lithium ore and lithium salt declined spirally, and cost support failed. Macroeconomic expectations weakened, and the demand for lithium carbonate was affected by Trump's tariff policy, the end of the "Green New Deal," and domestic policy adjustments. From March 20 to June 23, 2025, the lithium carbonate index declined by about 21.6% [18]. 3.6 Sentiment Boost for Oversold Varieties - The lithium carbonate index rebounded on June 23, 2025, with a range increase of 34.5% until July 25, approaching the annual high. The supply - demand relationship did not reverse significantly, but the commodity market had strong repair expectations, and long - position funds dominated the market. Some commodities started to rebound in June, and events in the mining end, such as lithium mica nuclear storage in Jiangxi and mine shutdowns, boosted sentiment. The lithium carbonate contract index rose about 24% from July 14 to July 25, then declined due to increased market risk [19].
