Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - Corn: Internationally, the high initial growth - stage good rate of US corn indicates high output prospects, putting continuous pressure on international corn prices. Domestically, the auction of imported corn has low transaction volume and decreasing premiums. Due to previous panic selling by traders, the supply increased, but with poor deep - processing benefits and limited enterprise procurement demand, prices fell. However, as traders' inventories decreased and the willingness to hold grains increased, the supply decreased, and some processing enterprises had rigid procurement needs, leading to a slight increase in purchase prices. The corn futures price rebounded recently after a continuous decline, and short - term observation is recommended [2]. - Corn Starch: Affected by continuous production losses, the industry's operating rate is at a low level in recent years, reducing supply pressure. But the demand in the civilian and paper - making markets is poor, and it is the traditional off - season for downstream demand, with slightly slower downstream pick - up. The supply - demand situation remains loose. The corn starch futures price rebounded recently following the rebound of corn [3]. 3.
