Report Title - Apple Weekly Report: The Rate of High - Quality Apples is Average, and Apple Prices are Rising Steadily [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - Due to factors such as the uneven quality of new - season apples and the impact of weather on production areas, the price of high - quality apples is expected to be strong, and the price gap between high - quality and general - quality apples will widen. The futures price is expected to show a short - term shock - strengthening trend [7][16] Summary by Directory Logic Analysis and Trading Strategies Spot Analysis - In the western region, the supply of new - season late Fuji apples increased this week, with obvious price polarization.

Traders reported a large profit margin for the new - season apples [15] Trading Strategy - Trading logic: The late - maturing Fuji apples are expected to have a low rate of high - quality fruits, and the opening price is high. The cost of making futures warehouse receipts is high, so the futures price is expected to show a short - term shock - strengthening trend [16] - Unilateral: It is expected that apples will show a shock - strengthening trend in the short term due to the expected low rate of high - quality fruits [16] - Arbitrage: Buy in November and sell in January [16] - Options: It is recommended to wait and see [16] Weekly Data Tracking Apple Supply and Demand - The document provides data on apple export volume, planting area, consumption, and production from 2018 - 2023, but no specific analysis content is given [20] Inventory and Shipment - It shows the trends of national cold - storage apple inventory, Shandong cold - storage inventory, Shaanxi cold - storage inventory, and national cold - storage apple shipment from 2016/17 - 2024/25, but no specific analysis content is given [23][24] Spread and Basis - It provides information on the current prices, previous - day prices, and price changes of futures contracts such as AP01, AP05, and AP10, as well as the basis and spread information between different contracts and spot prices [26] Spot Price - It provides the current prices, previous - day prices, and price changes of the Fuji apple price index, as well as the prices of apples in different producing areas such as Qixia and Penglai [27]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given text. 2. Core Views of the Report - The US corn is expected to continue to see a downward adjustment in yield, but the production is at a high level. The US corn has been oscillating around 420 cents per bushel this week, with strong support at 400 cents per bushel for the December contract. The market focus has shifted to Jilin corn, and there is still expected to be selling pressure when Jilin corn enters the market. The selling pressure of Northeast corn has eased in the short - term, and the corn spot may rebound slightly, but the rebound height is limited. The market expects the low point of the corn price at the northern port to be around 2050 yuan per ton. The corn futures contract 01 is expected to be in bottom - range oscillation, while the expectation for contract 05 remains strong [4]. - The operating rate of starch factories has increased, downstream demand is still weak, but提货量 (pick - up volume) has increased, and the starch inventory has risen to a historical high for the same period. As the corn spot price has declined, the starch spot price has also dropped. The profit of North China starch factories has expanded, and the operating rate of starch enterprises will continue to rise, but there is still room for the starch spot price to fall with the large - scale listing of new corn. The corn starch futures contract 01 is expected to follow the corn in bottom - range oscillation [4]. 3. Summary According to the Directory Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Market Situation and Outlook**: The US corn is in a state of bumper harvest, but the yield may continue to be adjusted downward. The December contract of US corn has strong support at 400 cents per bushel and is in short - term narrow - range oscillation. The current market selling pressure has weakened, and the spot has short - term rebound space. However, there will still be selling pressure in late October when Jilin corn enters the market, so the rebound space of the corn spot is limited. In the short - term, corn will continue to oscillate at the bottom. Contracts 01 and 05 of corn are expected to oscillate at the bottom. The market expects corn to be in short supply after the Chinese New Year, so the spread between contracts 1 and 5 will remain large [4]. - **Trading Strategies** - Unilateral: Try to buy the December contract of US corn around 400 cents per bushel. Adopt a short - term bullish approach for contract 01 of corn and buy contract 05 of corn below 2200 yuan per ton [5]. - Arbitrage: Stay on the sidelines [5]. - Options: Implement a cumulative purchase strategy for contract 05 of corn [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since the end of August, precious metals such as gold and silver have broken through the 4 - month shock range and continued to rise. The bull market pattern of precious metals is expected to continue. In the long - term, the return of gold's monetary attribute under the trend of anti - globalization will push up the price center. In the medium - term, the expectation of double easing of US monetary and fiscal policies is the main driver, and events related to geopolitical, financial market or other tail risks may amplify market fluctuations. In the short - term, attention should be paid to events such as the US government shutdown and Sino - US negotiations. If there are turning points, precious metal prices may adjust, but investors can still adopt a low - buying strategy [2][4][7]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Precious Metal Market Trading Main Lines - In 2025, the precious metal market trading mainly revolved around Trump's trade and fiscal policies and the Fed's monetary policy, with occasional geopolitical fluctuations and continuous central bank gold purchases. Before August, it was mainly about Trump's trade policy, and the risk - aversion sentiment first rose and then declined. After August 7, when the reciprocal tariffs took effect, the market shifted to trading based on US monetary policy and the expectation of double easing [8]. - The recent rise in precious metals started in late August, driven by multiple factors: Trump's dismissal of Fed governor Lisa Cook, the expectation of Fed rate cuts after the cooling of non - farm data and Powell's dovish speech, the rise of long - term government bond yields in major overseas economies, the release of upward momentum after the long - term shock of London gold in the range of $3450 - 3500, the concentration of risk events such as the US government shutdown and Sino - US trade friction escalation in October, and the increase in silver ETF investment demand and Indian seasonal demand leading to a shortage of silver supply [8][11]. II. Re - examination of Precious Metal Trading Logic (1) Gold - **Analysis Framework Change**: Before 2022, the analysis framework of gold mainly focused on its financial attribute, with a strong negative correlation with the US real yield. Since 2022, this negative correlation has weakened, and the significant increase in central bank gold purchases is considered the most important factor supporting the rise of the gold price center [16]. - **New Influencing Factors**: Since September 2024, gold ETF investment has turned into net inflows, reflecting the market's expectation of future liquidity easing and the shift of asset allocation to gold. Geopolitical factors have a more long - term impact on gold prices. New gold trading centers are emerging, such as Dubai and China, and digital currencies are reshaping the gold narrative [17][18][19]. - **Overseas Economies' Debt Issues**: The US federal government debt has exceeded $37 trillion, accounting for about 127% of GDP in 2024. Other major overseas economies such as Japan, France, the UK, and Germany also face various fiscal problems, which may lead central banks to continue increasing their gold reserves [20][28]. - **US Monetary Policy Path**: The market is concerned about the Fed's independence and its judgment on the US economic fundamentals and financial market liquidity. Trump has been pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates. If the Fed's independence is interfered with, it may lead to long - term inflation in the US, which is beneficial to gold. The market expects the Fed to stop shrinking its balance sheet soon due to the cooling of the labor market and inflation [31][33][36]. (2) Silver - **Price Characteristics**: Silver has both financial and industrial attributes, and its price is driven by gold in a liquidity - abundant environment. However, it does not have a monetary attribute, and the gold - silver ratio has risen in the past two years [41]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: Since 2021, silver has faced a supply shortage for five consecutive years. The recent "short squeeze" in the London silver market was caused by factors such as the increase in silver ETF investment demand and Indian seasonal demand. Although the current shortage has shown signs of relief, the medium - and long - term bullish factors remain unchanged [45][53]. III. Conclusion - The main logic framework of precious metals has not changed significantly in the medium - and long - term, and the bull market pattern will continue. In the short - term, attention should be paid to events such as the US government shutdown and Sino - US negotiations. Any adjustment in precious metal prices can be regarded as an opportunity to enter or increase positions [7][55].

Group 1: Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The current supply pressure in the pig market remains significant, with high inventory levels and large weights of pigs for slaughter. The spot price of live pigs rebounded slightly today, but the overall scale of enterprise slaughter volume decreased slightly and remained at a high level. The slaughter volume this month continued to increase, and there was still pressure to meet the previous progress. The enthusiasm of ordinary farmers to sell pigs is expected to remain relatively stable. Secondary fattening has started to show signs of entry, providing some support to prices. However, considering the high inventory and large weights of pigs, the supply pressure in the pig market is expected to persist, and the spot price is likely to decline in the future. The futures price of live pigs has dropped significantly, and the supply pressure remains. The limited rebound space of the spot price has also reduced its impact on the futures market. The far - month futures contracts are under pressure, and the overall futures market is expected to face certain downward pressure, with short - term price fluctuations and long - term downward trends [4][6]. Group 3: Summary by Category 1. Spot Price - The average spot price of live pigs today was 10.85 yuan/kg, up 0.2 yuan/kg from yesterday.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The market is generally stable, with the futures market showing a pattern of oscillation. The domestic soybean meal market is consolidating, and the decline space is limited after significant drops. Rapeseed meal has a slight rebound, but overall changes are limited, and the fundamental pressure persists [4]. - The soybean - related market is under pressure. Without a significant tightening of the balance sheet, the price center of the soybean system is expected to decline. Rapeseed meal is expected to move in a volatile manner [5][8]. - Given the current market situation, the recommended trading strategies are to stay on the sidelines for single - sided trading and engage in the M11 - 1 calendar spread. For options, selling a wide - straddle structure is suggested [11][12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents 3.1 Market Quotes - **Futures and Spot Prices**: On October 16, 2025, soybean meal futures contracts 01, 05, and 09 closed at 2907, 2742, and 2853 respectively, with changes of - 10, + 2, and 0.

The cross - variety price spreads and spot price spreads also had corresponding changes [4]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - **International Market**: The carry - over inventory of the old US soybean crop has been slightly adjusted upwards, with good demand fulfillment. The new crop's supply has slightly increased due to a small increase in planting area despite a slight decrease in yield per unit. South American old - crop supply is relatively loose, with expected increases in production, crushing volume, and possible increases in carry - over inventory or exports. The international soybean meal supply pressure is significant [5]. - **Domestic Market**: The domestic spot pressure has slightly improved but remains relatively loose. As of October 10, the soybean inventory was 765.76 million tons, an increase of 6.37% from the previous week and 14.29% year - on - year. The soybean meal inventory was 107.91 million tons, a decrease of 9.26% from the previous week but an increase of 6.17% year - on - year. Rapeseed meal demand is gradually weakening, and the supply pressure still exists [8]. 3.3 Macroeconomic Factors - Sino - US communication has reduced concerns about trade conflicts, but the Madrid negotiation did not provide clear guidance on the soybean industry. With the decreasing demand for US soybeans in the long - term, the upward space for the domestic soybean meal futures market is limited [9]. 3.4 Logical Analysis - The market is oscillating. After reflecting various negative factors, the downward space is limited. The overall supply - demand situation of domestic soybean meal is relatively loose, and the price pressure of US and Brazilian soybeans is still obvious. Rapeseed meal prices lack significant fluctuations, and the price spreads of both soybean meal and rapeseed meal are affected by macro and supply - demand factors [10]. 3.5 Trading Strategies - **Single - sided Trading**: Stay on the sidelines. - **Arbitrage**: Engage in the M11 - 1 calendar spread. - **Options**: Sell a wide - straddle structure [11][12]. 3.6 Soybean Pressing Profits - Pressing profits vary by source and shipping date. For example, the pressing profit from Argentine soybeans in November was - 65.45 for the futures market and - 110.25 for the spot market, showing a decline compared to the previous day [12].
