  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The price of log green environmental protection products has been weak recently, with funds withdrawing. There is no strong driving force currently, and the long - short situation is relatively balanced. The price mainly revolves around the delivery cost. The 09 contract price is moderately undervalued, while the 11 contract cannot be valued at present. The 09 - 11 spread showed a reverse spread today, which is hard to explain. The inventory is at a low level, and the deliverable goods for the 09 contract are not very abundant. There is some transfer and resale pressure for the 07 contract deliverable goods in Chongqing, but the quantity is limited [3]. - As of August 11, no warehouse receipts have been issued, but they will definitely come out, just a matter of time. In the strategy, it is recommended to go long on the lg2509 contract on dips and conduct a timely positive spread operation on the 09 - 11 contracts. The price has strong support around 820, and it is approaching the peak season in September [3][4]. 3.
