Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Domestically, Zhengzhou sugar hit a new low this week, testing the support around 5,300 yuan/ton.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found 2. Core View of the Report - Near the new crops in the Northern Hemisphere and the listing of domestic cane sugar, Zhengzhou sugar is expected to be mainly volatile and weak. The large current import volume of raw sugar and the gradually released pressure of imported sugar arriving at ports, with an import cost of 5300 - 5400, suppress the futures market. In the domestic supply side, Yunnan sugar mills started the first pressing two days ago, and Guangxi sugar mills are expected to start mass - production in mid - to - late November, which may create new selling pressure. However, as the current futures market is close to the domestic sugar - making cost, it is expected to show a resistant decline before the listing of domestic new sugar [4] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Domestic Spot Price and Futures Price - In the domestic spot market, on November 7, 2025, the price per ton of sugar in Nanning Warehouse, Guangxi was 5760 yuan, up 40 yuan; in Kunming, Yunnan, it was 5650 yuan, down 10 yuan; in Dali, Yunnan, it was 5500 yuan, down 10 yuan; in Rizhao, Shandong, it was 5820 yuan, unchanged. The price of SR01 was 5457 yuan, up 9 yuan; the price of SR05 was 5397 yuan, up 9 yuan; the spread between SR01 and SR05 was 60 yuan, unchanged [4] 3.2 International Exchange Rate and Commodity Price - The exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar was 7.1393, down 0.0015; the exchange rate of the Brazilian real against the RMB was 1.2818, up 0.0212; the exchange rate of the Indian rupee against the RMB was 0.084, down 0.0004.

Report Information - Report Title: Zheng Sugar Weakens Again, Supply Pressure is High - Guoxin Futures Sugar Weekly Report - Report Date: October 17, 2025 [2] 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View - Domestic market: Zheng sugar followed the external market down significantly, breaking below the support around 5,400 yuan/ton. Although it showed signs of stabilization later in the week, domestic sugar sales are behind year-on-year, and downstream purchasing willingness is low. New season beet sugar production may be slightly lower, and cane area output may also decline due to typhoons. Import data is expected to remain high but may be lower than expected. Zheng sugar has support at 5,400 yuan/ton, but the rebound space is limited under fundamental pressure [57]. - International market: Higher-than-expected supply from Brazil and a bumper harvest in India have led to early digestion of supply pressure, causing ICE sugar prices to break below the support around 15.5 cents/pound. However, prices rebounded quickly and returned above 15.5 cents/pound. Despite strong Brazilian production data, the market did not continue to fall, mainly due to the decline in the sugar - making ratio. New negative factors are needed to break below 15 cents/pound [57]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Sugar Market Analysis 3.1.1 Futures Price Trends - Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (ZCE) sugar futures prices: Zheng sugar broke through support and then fluctuated, with a weekly decline of 1.53%.

Based on the ICE sugar March contract price of 16 cents/pound, the in - quota import cost from Brazil is 4,477 yuan/ton, and the out - of - quota cost is 5,688 yuan/ton; from Thailand, the in - quota cost is 4,421 yuan/ton, and the out - of - quota cost is 5,615 yuan/ton [22]. 3.1.5 Industrial Inventory - In the 2024/25 sugar season, the industrial inventory in August was about 1.16 million tons, an increase of 58,000 tons compared to the same period last year [25]. 3.1.6 ZCE Warehouse Receipts and Valid Forecasts - This week, the total of Zheng sugar warehouse receipts and forecasts was 8,438, a decrease of 460 from the previous week. The number of warehouse receipts was 8,438, and the valid forecast was 0 [33]. 3.1.7 Brazil's Production Progress - In the second half of September, the cumulative crushing volume was 490 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.99%, and the sugar production was 33.524 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.84% [37]. 3.1.8 Brazil's Bi - weekly Sugar - Making Ratio - The cumulative sugar - making ratio of sugarcane in the central - southern region of Brazil was 52.68%, compared to 48.84% in the same period last year [42]. 3.1.9 Brazil's Monthly Sugar Exports - Brazil's sugar exports in September were 3.2458 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 16.3% [48]. 3.1.10 International Main Producing Region Weather - In Brazil, there was abundant rainfall in the main producing areas, which was not conducive to sugarcane crushing. In India, precipitation decreased significantly [54]. 3.2 Market Outlook - Domestic market: Zheng sugar may continue to be under pressure from fundamentals, with limited rebound space. Although there is support at 5,400 yuan/ton, the overall situation is not optimistic. - International market: ICE sugar prices have shown some resilience after breaking support, and new negative factors are needed to drive prices lower [57].

Group 1: Report Title and Date - The report is titled "Zhengzhou Sugar Declines, Weakens in the Short Term - Guoxin Futures Sugar Weekly Report" and dated September 19, 2025 [2] Group 2: Sugar Market Analysis Futures Price Trends - Zhengzhou sugar futures prices declined, with a weekly drop of 1.43%. ICE sugar futures oscillated weakly, with a weekly decline of 2.28% [9] Spot Price and Basis Trends - Spot prices followed the decline of Zhengzhou sugar futures prices, but the basis showed signs of strengthening and remained at a relatively high level [59] Sales in Guangxi and Yunnan - No specific sales data were provided in the text, but relevant charts were presented [16] Sugar Imports - In July, 740,000 tons of sugar were imported, a year - on - year increase of 320,000 tons. Based on the ICE sugar October contract price of 16.5 cents per pound, the in - quota import cost from Brazil was 4,539 yuan per ton, and the out - of - quota cost was 5,769 yuan per ton; for Thailand, the in - quota cost was 4,580 yuan per ton, and the out - of - quota cost was 5,822 yuan per ton [22] Industrial Inventory - In the 2024/25 sugar season, the industrial inventory in August was approximately 1.16 million tons, an increase of 58,000 tons compared to the same period last year [25] Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange Warehouse Receipts and Valid Forecasts - This week, the total number of Zhengzhou sugar warehouse receipts plus forecasts was 10,629, a decrease of 1,116 from the previous week. There were 10,629 warehouse receipts and 0 valid forecasts [33] Brazil's Production Progress - In the second half of August, the cumulative sugarcane crushing volume was 404 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 4.78%, and the sugar production was 26.758 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.92% [37] Brazil's Bi - weekly Sugar - Making Ratio - The cumulative sugar - making ratio of sugarcane in the central - southern region of Brazil was 52.76%, compared to 49.09% in the same period last year [42] Brazil's Monthly Sugar Exports - Brazil's sugar exports in August were 3.744 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 4.47% [45] International Main Production Area Weather - There was little rainfall in Brazil's main production areas, which was beneficial for sugarcane crushing. India had abundant precipitation [55][56] Group 3: Market Outlook Domestic Market - Zhengzhou sugar prices declined. Spot prices followed suit. Although it was the peak season, trading volume did not improve significantly. The weak stock market dragged down the commodity market, and short - sellers increased their positions. Technically, the support level at 5,500 yuan per ton was broken, but there was cost support below this level. The market is expected to remain weak in the short term, but the downward space is limited [59] International Market - On the supply side, Brazil's production data showed that although the sugar - making ratio was slightly adjusted down, it remained above 51%. The dry weather in Brazil boosted the crushing progress, and the short - term supply pressure suppressed the market. The Asian market's high - yield expectations were still being digested, and India had high export expectations, but there was a lack of motivation at current prices. The price close to 15 cents per pound was close to the production cost of major international producers. Overall, the market was bearish, but the probability of a sharp decline was low [59] Group 4: Operation Suggestion - The operation suggestion is to focus on short - term trading [60]
