Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Market sentiment for expected production increases in India and Thailand's 25/26 sugar seasons is high, suppressing sugar prices. Brazil's overall sugarcane pressing situation is poor due to low precipitation, leading to a lower ATR value and an increased sugar - ethanol ratio. China's out - of - quota sugar import window has been fluctuating, resulting in a significant increase in July's import volume and an expected high volume in August [4]. - There are both positive and negative factors affecting the sugar market. Positive factors include strong domestic sugar sales in some regions, sufficient end - of - season sugar inventory in India for domestic consumption, suspension of imports of Thai syrup and premixed powder, poor production in Brazil's 25/26 season, and potential increased demand from the return of sugar - containing beverages in the US. Negative factors include increased sugar production in some regions, expected production growth in Brazil and Thailand, early monsoons in India, large import volumes in July and expected high volumes in August, and poor sales in some regions in July [5][8]. 3. Directory Summaries 3.1 Price Forecast and Risk Management - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range for sugar is predicted to be between 5600 - 6000, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 4.40% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 2.2% [3]. - **Risk Management Strategies**: - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, they can short Zhengzhou sugar futures (SR2509) at 5800 - 5850 with a 50% hedging ratio and sell call options (SR511C5800) at 30 - 40 with a 25% hedging ratio [3]. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low regular inventory and aiming to purchase based on orders, they can buy Zhengzhou sugar futures (SR2509) at 5650 - 5700 with a 50% hedging ratio and sell put options (SR511P5500) at 20 - 30 with a 75% hedging ratio [3]. 3.2 Core Contradictions - Market expectations of increased production in India and Thailand's 25/26 seasons suppress sugar prices. Brazil's poor pressing situation due to low precipitation leads to low ATR values, and China's fluctuating import window causes large import volumes [4]. 3.3利多解读 (Positive Factors) - As of the end of July, sugar sales in Guangxi and Yunnan increased year - on - year, with higher sales rates and lower industrial inventory in some cases. India's 2024/25 end - of - season sugar inventory is sufficient for domestic consumption from October to November 2025. China has suspended imports of Thai syrup and premixed powder. Brazil's 25/26 season production is poor, and there are potential demand increases from the return of sugar - containing beverages in the US [5][6][8]. 3.4利空解读 (Negative Factors) - In the 2024/25 season, sugar production increased in some regions. Analysts expect production growth in Brazil's 25/26 season and Thailand's 24/25 season. India's early monsoons may lead to a production recovery. July's import volume is large, and sales in some regions in July were poor [8][9]. 3.5 Price Data - **Base Price Changes**: On August 21, 2025, the base prices of sugar in different regions and contracts showed various daily and weekly changes [10]. - **Futures Prices and Spreads**: On August 22, 2025, the closing prices of sugar futures contracts had different daily and weekly changes, and there were also changes in the spreads between different contracts [11]. - **Spot Prices and Regional Spreads**: On August 22, 2025, sugar spot prices in different regions and the regional price spreads had specific daily and weekly changes [12]. - **Sugar Import Price Changes**: On August 22, 2025, the quota - in and quota - out import prices of Brazilian and Thai sugar had daily and weekly changes, as well as the price spreads compared to domestic prices [13].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Views - The market has high expectations for increased sugar production in India and Thailand during the 25/26 sugar season, which suppresses sugar prices. Brazil's overall production progress is lower than the historical average, causing concerns about potential production cuts and leading to fluctuations in raw sugar prices. However, data from early July shows an acceleration in production progress and a significant increase in the sugar - to - ethanol ratio. In China, the opening of the profit window for out - of - quota imports has strengthened import expectations, causing futures prices to quickly decline to close the profit window [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Sugar Price Forecast and Risk Management Strategy - **Price Range Forecast**: The predicted monthly price range for sugar is 5600 - 6000, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 4.40% and a historical percentile (3 - year) of 2.2% [3]. - **Inventory Management Strategy**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, it is recommended to short Zhengzhou sugar futures (SR2509) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 5800 - 5850. Also, selling call options (SR511C5800) with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 30 - 40 can reduce costs and lock in the selling price of spot sugar [3]. - **Procurement Management Strategy**: For enterprises with low regular procurement inventory aiming to purchase based on orders, it is recommended to buy Zhengzhou sugar futures (SR2509) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 5650 - 5700. Selling put options (SR511P5500) with a 75% hedging ratio at an entry range of 40 - 50 can reduce procurement costs and lock in the purchase price of spot sugar [3]. Core Contradictions - Market expectations of increased production in India and Thailand during the 25/26 sugar season suppress sugar prices. Brazil's slower - than - usual production progress and subsequent acceleration, along with changes in the sugar - to - ethanol ratio, affect raw sugar prices. The opening of the out - of - quota import profit window in China leads to a decline in futures prices [4].
