Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - Globally, the sugar production increase in major producing areas is being realized. Brazil is in the peak supply period, with a significant increase in sugar production. The cumulative sugar production is almost the same as last year, and it is expected to remain high in the near - term. With the recent decline in crude oil prices, the support from ethanol for sugar has weakened, and the fundamental situation of raw sugar is weak. The main contract has fallen below the previous low, and the downward space has been opened, indicating a generally weak trend. - In the domestic market, the supply is mainly from imported sugar recently. Given the weak price trend of foreign sugar, it is expected that Zhengzhou sugar will follow the trend of the foreign market in the short - term. The trading strategy suggests short - selling on rallies, and recommends a wait - and - see approach for arbitrage and options [11][12]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Globally, the production increase in major sugar-producing areas is being realized. Brazil is at its supply peak, with a significant increase in sugar production recently. The cumulative sugar production is almost the same as last year, and it is expected to reach a historically high level. With the recent decline in crude oil prices, the support from ethanol for sugar has weakened, leading to a bearish fundamental outlook for raw sugar. The main contract has fallen below the previous low, indicating a downward trend for raw sugar [10]. - In the domestic market, the supply mainly comes from imported sugar, and considering the weak price of foreign sugar recently, Zhengzhou sugar is expected to follow the trend of the international market in the short term [10]. 3.
