Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - For sugar, the current raw sugar price has fallen below the support level of the Brazilian ethanol conversion price. After the northern hemisphere gradually finishes the sugar - cane crushing season in February and the negative impact of increased production is mostly realized, the international sugar price may rebound. In China, the supply of imported sugar is gradually decreasing, and the short - term downward space is limited. It is advisable to wait and see for now [2]. - For cotton, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the illegal tariff policy and the high single - week export of U.S. cotton from February 5th to 12th led to a sharp rebound in U.S. cotton prices. However, Trump's decision to raise the global import tariff from 10% to 15% on February 21st is negative for cotton prices. In the medium - to - long term, with the reduction of the new - year planting area and positive macro - expectations, cotton prices still have room to rise. Attention should be paid to the resumption of production in the downstream industry chain after the Spring Festival [7]. - For soybeans, the expectation of China's increased purchase of U.S. soybeans has pushed up the CBOT soybean price. For China, on one hand, the long - term supply pressure increases, and on the other hand, the rising U.S. soybean price raises the import cost. It is expected that the price of protein meal will continue to fluctuate in the short term [9]. - For oils and fats, driven by the bio - diesel policies of various countries, the consumption growth of oils and fats this year is greater than the production growth rate. The medium - term outlook for oil and fat prices is positive. It is recommended to wait for a pullback and then go long [14]. - For eggs, after the Spring Festival, the opening price is neutral, the overall inventory accumulation is limited, and the market sales are average. The supply side needs to pay attention to the scale of molting and cold - storage egg purchases. It is expected that the short - term spot price decline is limited. The near - month futures contract may form a bottom after a low - opening. It is advisable to wait and see or conduct short - term trading and wait for the accumulation of contradictions. For the far - end contract, under the background that the production capacity decline is less than expected, attention should be paid to the valuation pressure [17]. - For pigs, before the Spring Festival, farmers actively sold pigs, resulting in a significant decrease in the average weight and a low inventory in散户 pens. After the Spring Festival, the reluctance to sell due to losses still exists, and the high price difference between fat and standard pigs may lead to secondary fattening and inventory - building behaviors. The decline of the spot price is limited, which may support the near - month futures contract to fluctuate. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and wait for the further accumulation and fermentation of contradictions [20].

Eggs - Market Information: After the Spring Festival, the opening price of eggs was neutral. For example, the price of large - sized eggs in Heishan was 2.8 yuan per catty, a decrease of 0.3 yuan per catty from before the festival. The inventory accumulation was not large, the market sales were average, and there was a reluctance to sell at low prices. It is expected that the short - term egg price will be stable, with a slight upward trend in some areas [16]. Pigs - Market Information: After the Spring Festival, the mainstream pig price decreased, which was in line with expectations. In the north, the demand from slaughterhouses was limited, the supply was sufficient, and the price decline was large. In the south, the local pig slaughter volume had not fully recovered, and the price decline was smaller than that in the north. After continuous price cuts in some areas, farmers were reluctant to sell, and with the increase in the number of slaughterhouses resuming work, the demand improved. In the short term, the decline of the pig price in the north may narrow, while the supply in the south continues to increase, and the pig price may continue to fall [19].
