Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - Corn: The harvest of US corn is almost finished, leading to high short - term supply pressure. Analysts expect the USDA's upcoming report to lower the US corn yield estimate. The recent rise in US soybeans and wheat prices provides external support to US corn prices. In the domestic market, cold weather in the Northeast and North China has increased farmers' reluctance to sell, reducing the available grain supply and causing a slight increase in enterprise purchase prices. The corn market has shown a slightly stronger trend recently, and short - term observation is recommended [2]. - Starch: With the increasing supply of new - season corn, the industry's operating rate has continued to rise, increasing supply - side pressure. However, the current supply - demand structure is good, downstream demand is acceptable, and enterprise sales are smooth. The starch market has oscillated and risen in tandem with the corn market recently, and short - term observation is recommended [3]. 3.
