1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Sugar**: International and domestic sugar markets face multiple bearish factors. International factors include a significant narrowing of the sugar production gap in Brazil's 2025/26 season, Indonesia's suspension of sugar imports, and India's approval of sugar exports. Domestic factors include high sugar imports in August, the transition between old and new seasons, and a slowdown in domestic sugar sales. The future trend of domestic sugar prices depends on the performance of the international raw sugar market [3]. - **Pulp**: Overseas broadleaf pulp is strong, driving up domestic broadleaf pulp prices, but the impact on softwood pulp is limited. The demand for pulp is supported by the peak season of finished paper, and the decline in China's pulp imports has alleviated supply pressure. However, the fundamentals lack obvious positive factors, and the upward potential of pulp prices is still uncertain [4]. - **Offset Paper**: The spot price of offset paper has remained stable recently, and the high basis provides some support for the futures price. However, the fundamentals are still weak, and the upward driving force is not clear. The price increase of wood pulp provides some cost support, but the upward space may be limited before the supply further decreases [6]. - **Cotton**: The international cotton market is under pressure from the steady listing of cotton in the Southern Hemisphere, the US tariff policy, and the progress of cotton harvesting in the US. However, the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation and India's extension of the import tariff exemption provide some support. The domestic cotton market is in a game between tight old - season supply and expected loose new - season supply, and the futures price may be weak [8]. - **Apples**: The futures price has fluctuated recently. The increase in the supply of early - maturing apples and the decline in prices have weakened the support for the futures price. The main logic of the apple market is the expected difference in the new season's harvest, and the futures price is expected to remain within a range [9]. - **Jujubes**: The jujube index has been weakly oscillating. The increase in warehouse receipts has increased the delivery pressure, but the inventory has been gradually depleted, and the spot price has rebounded seasonally. The futures price of the 2601 contract has fluctuated, and investors can consider corresponding trading strategies [12]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Soft commodities: International raw sugar has mixed factors. Brazilian sugarcane production has recovered, but there are also factors like narrowed sugar - ethanol price spread and fires. In China, the new sugar - making season has started with high imports, causing supply pressure. For pulp, although the fundamentals lack obvious positive factors, policy expectations and sentiment have improved, providing some support. For double - offset paper, the upward drive is unclear despite the approaching peak season. Cotton prices are expected to fluctuate both overseas and in China. In the fresh fruit sector, apple prices are expected to be in a range, and for jujubes, short - selling is recommended [3][4][7][8]. Summary According to the Directory Part I: Sector Strategy Recommendations - **Fresh Fruit Futures**: For Apple 2601, use an interval approach due to the new - season expected difference and trading value disputes. The support range is 7500 - 7600, and the pressure range is 8500 - 8600. For Jujube 2601, short - sell at high prices as the overall commodity sentiment is strong and jujubes enter the production - forming period in the third quarter. The support range is 10500 - 11000, and the pressure range is 11500 - 12000 [18]. - **Soft Commodity Futures**: For Sugar 2601, use short - term operations as raw sugar rebounds slightly and Zhengzhou sugar stabilizes at a low level. The support range is 5480 - 5500, and the pressure range is 5580 - 5600. For Pulp 2511, take a bearish view within the range as the supply pressure remains and the finished paper price is low. The support range is 4900 - 4950, and the pressure range is 5150 - 5200. For Double - offset Paper 2601, short - sell on rebounds as the approaching peak season supports the price, but the upward height may be limited. The support range is 4100 - 4200, and the pressure range is 4400 - 4500. For Cotton 2601, use an interval approach as the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation and state - reserve selling news cause price fluctuations.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Sugar**: Brazilian sugarcane production recovery exceeds expectations, putting pressure on the global sugar market. In China, new - season sugar production is expected to increase, and imports are high, but the spot price is stable due to thin inventory. Zhengzhou sugar futures are hovering at a low level [4]. - **Pulp**: As the peak season approaches, downstream demand for pulp replenishment may increase, but the magnitude is uncertain. The pulp market is stabilizing, and the recent listing of offset paper may support pulp futures. However, the upward drive for pulp prices is insufficient, and it is likely to trade in a low - level range [5]. - **Offset Paper**: The spot price of offset paper is stable, and there are expectations of improved demand in the peak season, which supports the futures price. But the fundamental situation is still weak, and the upward price movement may be limited [7][8]. - **Cotton**: The USDA September report has a slightly positive impact on the global cotton market, but the market is still under pressure. In China, there is a game between tight old - season supply and expected loose new - season supply, and cotton futures are likely to fluctuate within a range [9]. - **Apples**: The impact of the old - season apples on the market is coming to an end. The market is focused on the new - season production and quality. Apple futures are expected to trade within a range [10]. - **Jujubes**: The jujube futures price fell sharply. The inventory is being depleted, and the market is in a state of seeking a direction. Aggressive investors can short the 2601 contract, while cautious investors can hold a short 01 and long 05 spread position [11]. 3.
