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.

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].
