1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The U.S. corn report significantly increased the production, leading to a weakening of U.S. corn prices today. However, the global corn supply pressure has decreased, limiting the downside space of U.S. corn prices. The in - quota tariff for U.S. corn is 11%, and for sorghum is 12%. The import profit of foreign corn has risen, with the February Brazilian import price at 2,122 yuan. [4] - The domestic corn market shows different trends in different regions. The spot price in the northeast is relatively strong due to low supply and farmers' reluctance to sell, while the price in North China is stable with increasing supply. The price difference between northeast and North China corn has narrowed. The wheat - corn price difference is still large, and corn remains cost - effective. The domestic livestock farming demand is stable, and the inventory of downstream feed enterprises is increasing, so the short - term spot price of corn is relatively stable. The market is currently concerned about the seasonal selling pressure of corn in the northeast before the Spring Festival and the inventory building of downstream enterprises. [4][6] - In the starch market, the number of trucks arriving at Shandong deep - processing plants has increased, and the corn spot price in Shandong is stable. The starch price in Shandong is around 2,750 yuan, and the northeast starch spot price is stable. This week, the corn starch inventory decreased to 1.1 million tons, a decrease of 25,000 tons from last week, a monthly decrease of 0.2% and a year - on - year increase of 21.5%. The starch price mainly depends on the corn price and downstream stocking. The by - product prices are still strong, and the spot price difference between corn and starch is low. Due to the strong corn price, the starch spot price is also strong, but enterprise profitability has declined. It is expected that the short - term 03 starch contract on the futures market will fluctuate within a narrow range. [7] - For trading strategies, the U.S. corn report is bearish, and U.S. corn is expected to continue bottom - oscillating. The 03 corn contract still has room to fall, and the 03 starch contract is expected to oscillate. For trading, the 03 U.S. corn has support at 430 cents per bushel. The short positions of 03 corn should be closed at night, and the 03 starch contract should be closed for observation at night. The 35 starch contract should start reverse arbitrage. [8][9] - For corn options, a short - term cumulative put strategy with rolling operations is recommended. [11] 3.
