Ruida Futures(SZ:002961) Rui Da Qi Huo·2026-01-06 08:56Report's Industry Investment Rating No investment rating mentioned in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For the corn market, the US corn is in the export peak season with high short - term supply pressure, but good export conditions support the price. In the domestic market, the acquisition progress in the Northeast has passed half, and after the New Year's Day, the release of reserve corn and the directional release of imported corn continue. The feed enterprise inventory is at a normal level, and the deep - processing enterprise inventory is relatively low year - on - year. In the Huabei and Huanghuai regions, as the Spring Festival approaches, the willingness to sell grain increases, and the market supply is abundant. The corn futures price is relatively volatile recently, and it is advisable to wait and see [2]. - For the corn starch market, with the increase in the supply of new - season corn, the supply pressure remains. The starch inventory has increased week - on - week, month - on - month, and year - on - year. However, after the large increase in the price of tapioca starch, some downstream customers have repurchased corn starch, increasing the demand. The starch price has been oscillating recently, and short - term waiting and seeing is recommended [3].
