1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Sugar: The recent typhoon in the main producing areas has caused some sugarcane lodging, raising concerns about production cuts and boosting the sentiment of Zhengzhou sugar futures. However, both international and domestic markets lack positive factors. Brazil's sugar production has continued to recover more than expected, and the large delivery volume of the October contract of raw sugar has led to strong bearish sentiment in the market under the expectation of global production increase. The domestic market has high imports of refined sugar, and new sugar is about to be launched, while the demand is expected to weaken. In this situation of increasing supply and decreasing demand, the sugar futures and spot prices are still under pressure, and the main contract is struggling around the 5500 level [4]. - Pulp: The price of hardwood pulp is relatively strong, and the increase in the US dollar quotation has driven a slight increase in the domestic spot price. However, the external market of softwood pulp has remained stable and weak, causing the domestic spot price to adjust following the futures price. From the global shipping data, the supply of wood pulp is still high, and the shipping volume to China is also higher than the same period last year. Although some pulp mills have cut production, the impact is not obvious from the data, so the supply pressure in China may still be high in the future. On the demand side, the increase in the production of finished paper during the peak season supports the demand for wood pulp, but the price increase of finished paper is weak, which weakens the positive impact on wood pulp. Overall, the valuation of pulp is not high, but the improvement in the fundamentals is limited, and the upward driving force is not strong, so it will maintain a low - level operation in the short term [5]. - Offset Paper: After the National Day, the spot price of some brands of offset printing paper in some regions continued to decline. Although the market expects an improvement in demand as the peak season approaches, the current fundamentals are still weak. Without policy news on the supply side, the upward driving force is not clear. Even considering the peak season after October, with the current capacity utilization rate, it is still difficult for offset paper to achieve high profits and prices. After Chenming Paper resumes production, the supply pressure may increase. The increase in the US dollar quotation of hardwood pulp provides some support for offset paper, but the increase in wood pulp price may be limited before the supply further decreases. Overall, the improvement in demand during the peak season may support offset paper, but the seasonal improvement may not bring a significant increase in price, and it will run weakly in the medium term [7][8]. - Cotton: This week, the cotton futures price has fluctuated weakly. In the external market, the harvest of US cotton is progressing steadily, and although there is some weather interference, the high - yield situation remains unchanged. The change in Sino - US trade relations has increased consumption concerns, putting pressure on the US cotton price, and the futures price is in a downward trend. In the domestic market, the focus is on the realization of the new season's production. The high - yield situation in Xinjiang is basically determined, and the downstream consumption confidence is still insufficient, with seasonal pressure still existing. Although the slower - than - expected harvest rhythm has slightly supported the sentiment, the overall futures price is still expected to continue to decline due to the change in Sino - US trade relations [9]. - Apples: The market has recently focused on two aspects: the change in the new season's expectations, with a delay in the listing and prominent weather disturbances in the producing areas, and the festival consumption situation, which is mixed. The apple futures price fluctuates around the realization of the new season's situation. Currently, there are still differences in the new season's realization, and the futures price may fluctuate strongly in the short term [10]. - Jujubes: After the festival, the agricultural product sector has run weakly, but the jujube futures price has risen slightly after breaking through the resistance. In the fourth quarter, as the weather trading window for jujubes to be harvested shortens, the futures price of the 2601 contract has turned into a shock after failing to break through, and the premium of futures over spot warehouse receipts has converged. In October, the inventory removal speed of jujube spot has slowed down, and the terminal replenishment enthusiasm has improved, with the dried fruit consumption gradually transitioning to the seasonal peak season. The price of high - quality jujubes in the sales area is running strongly, and the price of ordinary jujubes is stable and firm [11]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 First Part: Plate Strategy Recommendation - Apple 2601: Adopt a bullish strategy. The main logic is that the difference between the new season's expected and actual situation and the speculation on the delivery value increase, and the futures price may rise in the short term. The support range is 7500 - 7600, and the pressure range is 9000 - 9200 [20]. - Jujube 2601: Adopt a strategy of shorting on rallies. The main logic is that the overall sentiment of commodities is strong, and in the third quarter, jujubes enter the production - forming period, and the market is prone to focus on weather - related price premiums. The support range is 10500 - 11000, and the pressure range is 11500 - 12000 [20]. - Sugar 2601: Adopt a strategy of shorting on rallies. The main logic is that Brazil's production rhythm has accelerated, the futures price has limited upward momentum, and the supply - side pressure has increased. The support range is 5424 - 5437, and the pressure range is 5560 - 5574 [20]. - Pulp 2511: Adopt a strategy of shorting within the range. The main logic is that although the short - term valuation is not high, the supply is high, and the weak price of domestic finished paper makes the upward driving force of pulp weak, and it will run weakly within the range. The support range is 4700 - 4800, and the pressure range is 5100 - 5200 [20]. - Offset Paper 2601: Adopt a strategy of shorting on rallies. The main logic is that as the peak season approaches, it supports the short - term price, but with high supply elasticity, the price increase may be limited by relying solely on peak - season demand. The support range is 4100 - 4200, and the pressure range is 4400 - 4500 [20]. - Cotton 2601: Hold short positions cautiously. The main logic is that new cotton is about to be launched, the high - yield expectation is strong, and the change in Sino - US trade relations has put pressure on the short - term futures price. The support range is 12800 - 13000, and the pressure range is 13600 - 13700 [20]. 3.2 Second Part: Market News Changes 3.2.1 Apple Market - Fundamental Information: In August 2025, the export volume of fresh apples was about 68,400 tons, a month - on - month increase of 27.59% and a year - on - year decrease of 17.57%. As of September 24, 2025, the cold - storage inventory of apples in the main producing areas was 121,800 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 41,400 tons. As of September 25, 2025, the national apple cold - storage inventory was 147,900 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 60,200 tons and a year - on - year decrease of 30,700 tons [21]. - Spot Market Situation: The inventory apple market in Shandong is stable, and the cold - storage goods are rarely traded. New - season late - maturing Fuji apples have not been widely supplied due to weather reasons, and the listing time has been postponed by about 10 days. In Shaanxi, there are few red apples, and only some merchants have started to order high - quality orchards. The market in the sales area is generally stable, and the shipment is smooth [21][22][23]. 3.2.2 Jujube Market The physical inventory of 36 sample points this week was 9167 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 36 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.39%, and a year - on - year increase of 93.89%. During the double festivals, the arrival of goods in the sales area was small, and the number of merchants inspecting and purchasing goods was average due to the holiday mood and rainfall. Attention should be paid to the circulation of old - season goods and the change of spot price before the new - season jujubes are harvested [24]. 3.2.3 Sugar Market The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' forecast of the sugar supply - demand situation for the 2025/26 season remains the same as last month, with a total sugar production of 1.12 billion tons and an expected import volume of 500,000 tons. In August, excessive rainfall in Inner Mongolia was not conducive to sugar beet sugar accumulation and harvesting, and the impact on sugar beet sugar production needs further assessment. In late September and early October, typhoons in the main sugarcane producing areas such as Guangdong and Guangxi caused sugarcane lodging. As of September 30, 2025, Yunnan's cumulative sugar sales were 2.214 million tons, with a sales rate of 91.54%, a year - on - year slight decrease, and an industrial inventory of 204,700 tons, an increase compared to last year [26]. 3.2.4 Pulp Market Chinese traders have counter - offered to purchase imported NBSK at $650 per ton, but sellers have refused to reduce the price. An European supplier sold NBSK at $650 per ton, far below the market level. A supplier said that the demand for imported bleached softwood pulp has been weak for several months. The price of Canadian and Nordic NBSK remains at $680 - 700 per ton. Suzano has announced a $20 per ton increase in the price of South American bleached hardwood pulp orders in the Asian market for October, the third consecutive increase since August, and will also increase the price for the European and North American markets [28]. 3.2.5 Offset Paper Market In Shandong, the mainstream transaction price of high - white offset paper is 4700 - 4800 yuan per ton, and the price of some natural - white offset paper is 4300 - 4550 yuan per ton, with a price decrease compared to the previous day. In Guangdong, the mainstream transaction price of high - white offset paper is 4600 - 4800 yuan per ton, and the price is stable compared to the previous day. In Beijing, the mainstream transaction price of high - white offset paper is 4800 - 4850 yuan per ton, and the price of some products has decreased. In Sichuan, the mainstream transaction price of high - white offset paper is 4900 yuan per ton, and the price is stable compared to the previous day [29][30]. 3.2.6 Cotton Market In August, Turkey's cotton imports were 78,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 20% and a year - on - year increase of 35.0%. Turkey's clothing export volume in August was $1.47 billion, a month - on - month flat and a year - on - year decrease of 9%. As of recently, the cotton processing work in Australia in the 25th season is nearly 90% complete. The October report of the Cotton Information Network has lowered the forecast of the new - season import volume and the ending inventory [31]. 3.3 Third Part: Market Review 3.3.1 Futures Market Review | Variety | Closing Price | Daily Change | Daily Change Rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Apple 2601 | 8744 | 111 | 1.29% | | Jujube 2601 | 11145 | 185 | 1.69% | | Sugar 2601 | 5496 | - 32 | - 0.58% | | Pulp 2511 | 4788 | - 16 | - 0.33% | | Cotton 2601 | 13325 | 30 | 0.23% | [31][32] 3.3.2 Spot Market Review | Variety | Spot Price | Month - on - Month Change | Year - on - Year Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Apple (yuan/jin) | 3.75 | 0.00 | 0.20 | | Jujube (yuan/kg) | 9.40 | - 0.10 | - 5.30 | | Sugar (yuan/ton) | 5800 | 0 | - 740 | | Pulp (Shandong Yinxing) | 5650 | 0 | - 500 | | Offset Paper (Taiyang Tianyang - Tianjin) | 4450 | 0 | - 550 | | Cotton (yuan/ton) | 14775 | 18 | - 797 | [38] 3.4 Fourth Part: Basis Situation No specific data analysis is provided, only relevant figures are mentioned. 3.5 Fifth Part: Inter - month Spread Situation | Variety | Spread | Current Value | Month - on - Month Change | Year - on - Year Change | Forecast | Recommended Strategy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Apple | 10 - 1 | 431 | - 116 | - 147 | Fluctuate repeatedly | Wait and see | | Jujube | 9 - 1 | 235 | 255 | - 170 | Fluctuate within a range | Wait and see | | Sugar | 1 - 5 | 27 | 0 | 14 | Fluctuate within a range | Wait and see | | Cotton | 1 - 5 | - 50 | 0 | 25 | Fluctuate within a range | Wait and see temporarily | [57] 3.6 Sixth Part: Futures Position Situation No specific data analysis is provided, only relevant figures are mentioned. 3.7 Seventh Part: Futures Warehouse Receipt Situation | Variety | Warehouse Receipt Quantity | Month - on - Month Change | Year - on - Year Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Apple | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Jujube | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Sugar | 8867 | - 31 | - 1050 | | Pulp | 231693 | - 413 | - 173345 | | Cotton | 2942 | - 88 | - 1831 | [82] 3.8 Eighth Part: Option - related Data No specific data analysis is provided, only relevant figures are mentioned.
