Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not provide an industry investment rating. 2. Core View - **Market Fundamentals and Logic**: There are both positive and negative factors in the apple market. Positive factors include the potential for lower - quality new - season apples and the expectation of a high opening price. Negative factors are that the new - season apple production is basically the same as last year, the price of inventory apples is falling, and apple performance is average during the off - season. In August, the price of inventory apples in the production areas is stable, with a slightly improved but still slow出库 speed. The price of Crown pears shows a trend of low - opening, high - going, and then low - going. Early - maturing apples are on the market, and the price of new - season Fuji apples may be related to that of early - maturing and old - season apples [4]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: For the single - side strategy, it is recommended to lightly short the 2601 contract at a high position. For the inter - month strategy, it is recommended to go long on 2510 and short on 2601. There are no recommendations for volatility and options [4]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - The recent bullish sentiment in commodities has subsided, and some commodities have started to correct. Methanol and olefins have followed suit and basically returned to their previous oscillation price centers. Methanol currently has high upstream profits and low downstream profits, lacking a basis for a significant increase. After the sentiment fades, it will return to fundamentals and enter a weak oscillation pattern. In the long - term, methanol is generally weak due to high supply pressure and sluggish downstream demand growth. The report suggests approaching it with a weak - oscillation mindset [3][89]. - Unilateral strategy: Adopt a weak - oscillation approach and consider a strategy of selling call options. Hedge strategy: Stay on the sidelines [3][90]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Spot Market - Methanol spot market prices declined this week. On Friday, the basis quote was around 09 - 10 yuan/ton, and the basis quote for paper goods in late September was 09 + 23 yuan/ton [6]. 3.2 Basis and Spread - Methanol basis quotes oscillated weakly this week, and the basis quote for paper goods in late September was around 09 + 23 yuan/ton [15]. - The coastal basis of methanol oscillated this week, and the inland basis also oscillated. The inland market prices and the market prices in the northwest region oscillated this week [24][35]. - The spread between East China and inland regions of methanol oscillated weakly [45]. - It is recommended to temporarily stay on the sidelines regarding spreads [54]. - The PP - 3MA spread rebounded oscillatingly this week. A strategy of going long on PP and short on MA can be considered for a small - scale holding [60]. 3.3 Industry Chain Profits - There are many new methanol maintenance devices, and the methanol operating rate has weakened slightly. Many methanol maintenance devices have resumed production, and methanol production has started to increase [67][69]. - The dimethyl ether operating rate oscillated, the formaldehyde operating rate rebounded oscillatingly, and the operating rate of methanol - to - olefins in the northwest region oscillated at a high level [74][77]. - This week, the operating rate of methanol - to - olefins plants oscillated, and MTO profits continued to recover [80]. 3.4 Industry Chain Inventory - Methanol slightly destocked at ports and upstream this week. Attention should be paid to the subsequent inventory accumulation speed [85]. 3.5 Market Outlook - The recent bullish sentiment in commodities has subsided, and methanol will enter a weak - oscillation pattern. It is recommended to adopt a weak - oscillation approach, consider a strategy of selling call options for the unilateral strategy, and stay on the sidelines for the hedge strategy [89][90].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Views of the Report - The overall market shows a complex and diverse trend, with different sectors and varieties having their own characteristics and influencing factors. In the macro - financial sector, the short - term trend of stock index futures is strong, and the short - term strategy of treasury bond futures can consider a steepening strategy. In the black sector, prices are expected to fluctuate. In the agricultural products sector, most varieties face supply - demand imbalances and price pressures. In the energy - chemical sector, the supply - demand relationship of crude oil is changing, and other products follow different trends based on their own fundamentals [9][10][12]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Macro Information - The China Photovoltaic Industry Association solicits opinions on the "Draft Amendment to the Price Law (Exposure Draft)" [6]. - The Shanghai Composite Index has once again reached 3600 points, and margin trading balances have returned to the 2 - trillion - yuan mark for the first time since July 2015 [6]. - US President Trump signs executive orders to impose additional tariffs on Indian goods and plans to impose about 100% tariffs on chips and semiconductors [6]. - Express delivery prices in Guangdong have increased, with the base price per ticket rising by 0.4 yuan [6]. - Trump plans to meet with Putin and Zelensky next week to attempt to achieve a cease - fire in the Russia - Ukraine conflict [6]. - The Fed's Daly says policy may need adjustment in the coming months, and there is still much work to do to bring inflation down to 2% [7]. 2. Macro - Finance Stock Index Futures - The strategy is to continue the trend - following idea. The A - share market has shown a strong upward trend recently, with increased trading volume and margin trading balances reaching a high level. Trump's tariff plan on chips and semiconductors may have an impact. The stock index has rebounded and returned to the trend after a pull - back [9]. Treasury Bond Futures - A short - term steepening strategy can be considered. The capital market is loose, and the bond market is under pressure but not weak. Attention should be paid to whether the capital level can be maintained at 1.3 - 1.35% [10]. 3. Black Sector Overall Market - Policy continues to emphasize "anti - involution" with a looser tone. Market sentiment has been realized in previous price increases, and prices are expected to fluctuate. Demand is seasonally weak, but the decline is limited in the medium - term. Supply is expected to remain strong. Raw material prices are firm, and steel and ore prices are expected to oscillate [12]. Steel and Iron Ore - Steel spot prices have increased slightly, but trading volume has weakened compared to the previous day. Iron ore prices in Shandong are basically stable. The price increase is due to the rise in raw material prices such as coking coal [13][15]. Coking Coal and Coke - Prices may enter a high - level oscillation stage, and trading should be cautious. The supply of coking coal is expected to be tight in the short - term, but there are also downward pressure factors. The exchange has adjusted trading limits, and "anti - involution" has affected the market [16]. Ferroalloys - The price bubble of silicon - based ferroalloys has disappeared. The medium - to - long - term view is to short on rallies. Strategies such as long the spread between ferrosilicon and silicomanganese or reverse spreads of silicomanganese can be considered [17]. Soda Ash and Glass - Soda ash can be shorted on rallies, and glass should be observed for now. The supply of soda ash has returned to a high level, and there is potential delivery pressure. The glass market has seen a decline in spot prices and an expected increase in factory inventory [18]. 4. Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials Zinc - Social inventories are increasing, and the inventory inflection point may have arrived. Refinery production is accelerating, and demand is weak, so zinc prices are expected to decline [19]. Lithium Carbonate - The market expects a production cut in Jiangxi. If it happens, it will be beneficial to lithium carbonate prices, and the short - term trend is expected to be strong [21]. Industrial Silicon - The main contradiction is the resumption progress of large - scale manufacturers. The market is expected to oscillate. Attention should be paid to supply - side policies and downstream photovoltaic policies [22]. Polysilicon - The policy expectation has cooled down, and the market may return to fundamental and warehouse - receipt games. The supply is in surplus, and attention should be paid to whether policies can boost terminal demand [23]. 5. Agricultural Products Cotton - Cotton prices are under pressure to rebound. It is recommended to short on rallies. International and domestic demand is weak, and there are concerns about future production increases [25][26]. Sugar - Domestic sugar prices are under pressure due to expected increases in imported processed sugar. However, low - absorption demand during the Mid - Autumn and National Day holidays should be noted. International sugar supply is expected to be in surplus [28][29]. Eggs - The 09 contract price has reached a record low. It is recommended to short on rallies and be cautious about bottom - fishing. Supply pressure during the Mid - Autumn Festival is large, and demand is currently weak [31]. Apples - A light - position positive spread strategy is recommended. Pay attention to the listing price and consumption of new - season apples [32][33]. Corn - Corn prices are expected to oscillate within a range. Supply and demand are both under pressure, but there is also bottom support. It is recommended to focus on market sentiment and policy implementation [34]. Red Dates - It is recommended to observe. The production is still uncertain, and the market is affected by various news [35]. Pigs - Short - term spot market is supply - strong and demand - weak. It is recommended to short near - month contracts and consider a 9 - 1 reverse spread strategy [35]. 6. Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - OPEC+ is increasing supply, but the growth space is limited. Demand is affected by trade uncertainties. The market may shift to a supply - surplus situation, and it is advisable to short on rallies [38]. Fuel Oil - Fuel oil prices follow crude oil. The market has no main logic, and factors such as sanctions and seasonal demand affect the price [39]. Plastics - Polyolefins are expected to continue to oscillate weakly. Supply pressure is high, and demand is relatively weak [40]. Rubber - Rubber prices are expected to oscillate slightly in the short - term. Short - term long positions can be considered after a pull - back, but be cautious about chasing high prices [41]. Methanol - Methanol follows the overall commodity trend. Supply is weak, and inventory is increasing. It is recommended to sell call options [42]. Caustic Soda - The supply of caustic soda in Shandong is high, and the sales pressure of chlor - alkali enterprises is obvious. The price is expected to decline, and a short - bias strategy is recommended [44]. Asphalt - Asphalt follows crude oil. The market has no main logic, and it is in a seasonal off - season with slow inventory reduction [45]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - LPG prices are in a downward trend. Supply is abundant, and demand is weak in the short - term. The price may follow crude oil [46]. Pulp - The pulp market is expected to oscillate. The macro - sentiment has cooled down, and the fundamentals are weak. Attention should be paid to port inventory reduction and spot trading [47]. Logs - Log prices have increased. The market is affected by capital, and short - term observation is recommended. Hedging can be considered at high prices [47]. Urea - Urea prices are expected to oscillate upward. Domestic demand has improved, and export factors may support the price, but the actual export situation needs further observation [48].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, the arrival of logs at ports will increase next week, and the supply side may face some pressure. The spot price is stable, and the spot quotation has been raised. The fundamentals of outbound shipments are okay, and the futures price rises to catch up with the basis. There is still a small hedging space in the futures market, but market sentiment remains, and future market competition is crucial. It is recommended to observe in the short - term and consider appropriate hedging at high prices according to one's own spot situation [17]. 3. Summary by Directory Part 1: Log Overview 1.1 Supply - side - The number of arriving ships decreased from 14 in July 25th, 2025 to 6 in August 1st, 2025, a decrease of 8. The arrival volume at ports dropped from 48.1 million cubic meters to 22.1 million cubic meters, a decrease of 26.00 million cubic meters. The import volume of coniferous logs, radiata pine, and other types showed different degrees of decline compared to the previous month, with year - on - year decreases of 7%, 6%, etc. It is estimated that the arrival volume at ports will recover to 14 ships and 42.5 million cubic meters next week. The supply side has certain support, but due to less departure from New Zealand and rising foreign quotes, the import willingness of domestic traders is suppressed, and the arrival volume in August is expected to be relatively low [7]. 1.2 Demand and Inventory - side - The weekly shipment volume is relatively stable, with a slight increase in the national volume from 44.9 million cubic meters to 44.94 million cubic meters. The demand is still weak during the off - season, affected by weather and the decline in the real estate start - up rate. The apparent demand decreased by 41.0 million cubic meters. In terms of inventory, short - term reduction in arrivals may lead to continuous inventory reduction, but due to weak downstream demand, the reduction amplitude is limited. With the recovery of arrivals next week, inventory is expected to increase under stable demand [9]. 1.3 Price and Spread - The foreign quotes of radiata pine and spruce remain stable, but it is reported that the foreign quotes of New Zealand radiata pine in August are 1 - 2 US dollars higher than in July. The spot price is relatively stable with a slight decline during the off - season, and the future increase in foreign quotes may support the domestic spot price. The futures price has decreased, and the market sentiment has cooled down. The supply and demand fundamentals are weak. There is still a small hedging space in the futures market. The spot spread is relatively stable, and the basis can be considered at the level of 5.9m medium - grade A radiata pine [11][13]. 1.4 Cost and Profit - The import cost of radiata pine increased by 13 from 973 to 986, while that of spruce decreased by 9 from 1248 to 1238. The import profit of radiata pine decreased by 13 from - 48 to - 61, and the profit situation of wood products is relatively stable. Due to the recovery of foreign quotes and weak downstream and terminal demand, the profit of logs and wood products is expected to be weak [15]. 1.5 Strategy Recommendation - For the industrial chain, the spot is stable, and the expected increase in arrivals this week may put pressure on the supply side. For the futures market, the spot quotation is raised, the fundamentals of outbound shipments are okay, and the futures price rises to catch up with the basis. It is recommended to observe in the short - term and consider appropriate hedging at high prices according to one's own spot situation [17].
