Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views - The international sugar market is mainly influenced by geopolitical events, and if international oil prices remain high or strengthen, raw sugar may have further upside potential. The domestic sugar supply - demand structure is relatively loose, but there is still marginal support for Zhengzhou sugar. For Zhengzhou sugar, it is recommended to hold long positions and observe, and pay attention to the price range [1]. - The supply - demand situation of red dates is currently characterized by strong supply and weak demand, and the futures price is expected to show a bottom - grinding market. It is recommended to short on rallies [4]. - For natural rubber, due to the combined effects of supply expectations and macro - sentiment, the price has dropped significantly. It is recommended to look for buying opportunities at low prices with reference to technical signals. For synthetic rubber, the BR futures price may continue to have upside potential but will be volatile. It is recommended to hold long positions in BR and use out - of - the - money put options for hedging [5].

The total import volume from January to February was 14.22 million tons, an increase of 3.41 million tons year - on - year, a growth rate of 31%. - As of March 15, 2026, India's sugar production in the 2025/26 crushing season reached 26.214 billion tons, an increase of 2.49 billion tons year - on - year, a year - on - year increase of about 10.5%. - From January to February 2026, China's sugar imports were 28 million tons and 24 million tons respectively, an increase of 21.7 million tons and 22.39 million tons year - on - year. From January to February 2026, China's cumulative sugar imports were 52 million tons, an increase of 44.09 million tons year - on - year.

Market Logic - External market: ICE raw sugar has risen strongly. The sugar - making process in the Northern Hemisphere is coming to an end. The cumulative sugar production in India and Thailand has increased year - on - year, but the increase is less than expected. The escalating Middle East situation may make Brazil's 2026/27 crushing season more inclined to produce ethanol rather than raw sugar. Technically, raw sugar broke through the upper edge of the shock range on Wednesday, and various signals have strengthened. - Domestic market: Zhengzhou sugar fluctuated widely last week, and the lower support was tested. The sugar import data in January and February increased significantly year - on - year, and the domestic production increase expectation for this crushing season has basically been achieved. The current domestic supply - demand structure is relatively loose. However, due to Brazil's approaching crushing season and the unclear sugar - making prospects in Brazil caused by the escalating Middle East situation, the strengthening of raw sugar during the week provided some support. Considering the uncertainty of the war situation and the repeatability of expected trading, more definite real - world news may be needed to further open up the upside space [1]. Trading Strategy - Hold long positions in Zhengzhou sugar and observe. For SR605, pay attention to the price range of 5300 - 5500 yuan/ton, with a lower warning support around 5350 yuan/ton and an upper warning pressure around 5460 yuan/ton [3]. Red Dates Market Conditions - On Friday, the CJ605 contract closed at 8840 yuan/ton, with a daily increase of 0.17%. The CJ609 contract closed at 9235 yuan/ton, with a daily increase of 0.22% [4]. Important Information - The physical inventory of 36 sample points last week was 11,540 tons, a decrease of 160 tons from the previous week, a month - on - month decrease of 1.37%, and a year - on - year increase of 5.60%. - On Friday, the wholesale price of special - grade red dates in Hebei was 9.14 yuan/kg, unchanged from the previous day. - On Friday, the number of arrival vehicles at the Guangdong Ruyifang market was 1, a decrease of 2 from the previous day. - On Friday, the number of red date warehouse receipts was 4112, unchanged from the previous day [4]. Market Logic - The jujube trees in the Xinjiang production area are still in the dormant stage, and there is a temporary lack of supply - side topics. The center of the red date futures price has moved down recently. As the weather warms up, red dates enter the off - season of demand, the de - stocking of sample inventories is slow, and the spot price has declined slightly. The current fundamental information for trading red dates is limited, and the strong supply and weak demand situation is still the main factor suppressing the futures and spot prices of red dates. Technically, the main red date contract is weak after breaking through the upward channel, and it is expected that the red date futures price will show a bottom - grinding market without new information [4]. Trading Strategy - Short on rallies [4]. Rubber Market Conditions - As of March 20, the main RU contract closed at 16,000 yuan/ton, with a daily decrease of 0.56%. The main NR contract closed at 12,865 yuan/ton, with a daily decrease of 0.46%. The main BR contract closed at 15,985 yuan/ton, with a daily increase of 2.86% [5].

Market Logic - Natural rubber: The price of natural rubber dropped from a high last week, and both trading volume and open interest decreased during the week. On the supply side, the seasonal reduction in Southeast Asia supported the raw material price. Some domestic and Laotian production areas started tapping early, and the overall phenological conditions were good, and the new - season tapping work was carried out smoothly. On the demand side, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises increased slightly. Affected by the increase in product prices, the market shipments were concentrated, and the inventory of finished all - steel tires decreased significantly. Semi - steel tire enterprises had support from foreign trade orders, but due to internal and external sales pressure, the de - stocking of finished products was slow. Considering the pressure of some enterprises to complete orders and quarterly tasks, it is expected that the operating rate of tire enterprises will remain high next week. In terms of inventory, the social inventory continued to decrease this period, and the inventory of dark - colored rubber decreased significantly. The bonded area in Qingdao accumulated inventory, and the general trade inventory decreased, with the total inventory decreasing slightly. In the context of limited supply increase and good demand performance, it is expected that the next inventory data may still decrease slightly, but the de - stocking amplitude may be relatively moderate. Overall, the recent fundamental news of natural rubber is not an unexpected event, but the price has dropped significantly, mainly due to the combined effects of positive supply expectations and the decline in macro - sentiment. Looking forward to this week, considering that the long - term narrative logic of natural rubber has not changed, it is recommended to look for buying opportunities at low prices with reference to technical signals, and pay attention to inventory data and raw material prices in the short term, while also paying attention to macro and synthetic rubber disturbances. - Synthetic rubber: The BR futures price maintained a high - level shock last week. The Middle East geopolitical conflict continued, and butadiene was still strong under the influence of crude oil. Some enterprises' devices were shut down for maintenance during the week, and Japan and South Korea continued to purchase domestic butadiene supplies, so the butadiene price was still supported by the supply side. At the same time, the rapid increase in the cost side also caused serious losses for cis - butadiene rubber, and some enterprises have plans to reduce production or shut down for maintenance, which is conducive to digesting the social inventory of cis - butadiene rubber. Considering that the price difference between synthetic rubber and natural rubber is at a historical low, the suppression from substitution factors may gradually appear in the future. Overall, the current BR futures price is mainly anchored to the impact of the war on oil prices. Against the background of the expected strong raw materials, there is still upside potential for the BR futures price. However, considering the unpredictability of the war situation, its price may be more volatile, and high - level wide - range shocks may be the norm in the near future [5]. Trading Strategy - Hold a wait - and - see attitude towards RU and NR; for BR long positions, it is recommended to hold out - of - the - money put options for hedging [5].
