Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in corn futures prices is supported by strong demand and logistical challenges, indicating that the upward trend may continue for the time being [2][4]. Group 1: Price Movement - Corn futures reached a high of 2302, marking a 1.28% increase during the night session, and closed at 2295 during the day, reflecting a 0.97% rise compared to the previous settlement price [2]. - The significant price increase was influenced by a 100 yuan/ton rise in prices at the Harbin branch of the China Grain Reserves Corporation, which boosted market sentiment [2]. Group 2: Demand Factors - Strong demand is evident, particularly at ports, driven by a backlog of contracts for November and December, coupled with low inventory levels [5]. - The demand for high-quality corn from Northeast China has increased due to quality differentiation in corn from North China caused by weather issues [6]. - Despite low overall downstream consumption, the rising corn prices have altered market sentiment, prompting companies to consider stockpiling [7][9]. Group 3: Supply Chain Issues - Although Northeast China has a good corn harvest, the distribution is overly concentrated, leading to tight logistics and transportation challenges [10]. - The supply situation in North China is also tight, necessitating reliance on Northeast corn for additional supply [11]. - From November onwards, transportation capacity in Northeast China has become noticeably strained, with reports of reduced discounts on rail segments and even temporary halts in unloading [12][13]. Group 4: Market Outlook - The current market is not characterized as a bull market, suggesting that while prices may rise, the increases will be gradual and not without challenges [15]. - The main risk to corn prices is the potential for increased selling pressure as prices rise, which could lead to more corn being sold if the selling sentiment shifts [16].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The US corn is expected to have a high yield, but the yield per unit may continue to be revised downwards. The December contract of US corn has strong support at 420 cents per bushel. The selling pressure in the Northeast market has weakened, but the supply of corn in North China is relatively low, causing the corn spot price to rise. In the short term, corn will continue to fluctuate at a high level, and the rebound space of contracts 01 and 05 is limited. The spread between contracts 01 and 05 has narrowed. According to the seasonal pattern, the rebound space of the spot price in November is limited. [4] - The operating rate of starch factories has increased, downstream提货 is good, and starch inventory has decreased, but it remains at a historically high level for the same period. As the spot price of corn is relatively strong, the spot price of starch is also rising. However, the profit of starch factories in North China has declined, and the operating rate of starch enterprises will continue to increase. With the large - scale listing of new corn, there is still room for the spot price of starch to fall. It is expected that the December contract of corn starch will fluctuate at a high level following corn. [4] Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Corn Situation**: The US corn is expected to have its yield per unit revised down, but the yield is high. It oscillates at around 430 cents per bushel this week, with strong support at 420 cents per bushel for the December contract. Although the tariff for importing US corn into China has been adjusted, there is still no profit in importing US corn. The focus of the market is on farmers' selling rhythm, and there may still be selling pressure on Northeast corn in November. In the short term, the supply of Northeast corn is increasing, and downstream demand for replenishment is driving up the price. The supply of North China corn has decreased, and the corn spot price is oscillating strongly. It is expected that the purchase price at the northern ports will be supported at around 2120 yuan per ton. Contract 01 of corn futures will oscillate at a high level, with limited short - term rebound space. [4] - **Starch Situation**: The operating rate of starch factories has increased, downstream提货 is good, and inventory has decreased but remains high. The spot price of starch is rising with the relatively strong corn price. However, the profit of starch factories in North China has declined, and the operating rate will continue to increase. With the large - scale listing of new corn, the spot price of starch may fall. It is expected that contract 01 of corn starch will follow corn and oscillate at a high level. [4] - **Trading Strategies** - For single - sided trading, consider buying the December contract of US corn below 420 cents per bushel. For contract 05 of corn, consider long - term buying below 2220 yuan per ton. [5] - For arbitrage, consider buying contract 01 of corn and selling contract 01 of starch, and short the spread when the price is high. [5] - For options, consider a cumulative purchase strategy for contract 05 of corn at low prices. [5] Chapter 2: Core Logic Analysis - **International Market - US Corn**: The October report has not been released yet. It is expected that the yield per unit of US corn will continue to be revised down, but the US corn is in a bumper harvest.

The import profit of foreign corn decreased. The spot price of corn in the Northeast was stable, while the supply in North China increased, causing the spot price to decline. The domestic breeding demand was stable, but the downstream feed enterprises had low inventory. The 01 corn contract showed a strong oscillation, and the spot basis weakened. The spot price of corn still had room to decline in the short term [3][5] - **Starch**: The number of trucks arriving at Shandong deep - processing plants increased, and the spot price of corn in Shandong was stable. The starch inventory increased this week, with a monthly increase of 0.89% and a year - on - year increase of 33.26%. The starch price was mainly affected by the corn price and downstream stocking. The by - product price was strong, and the enterprise profit was good. The 01 starch contract followed the corn to oscillate strongly, and it was expected to oscillate at the bottom in the short term [6] - **Trading Strategy**: The US corn is expected to continue to narrow - range oscillate. The spot price of North China corn is relatively stable, while the Jilin corn is being listed in large quantities, putting pressure on the spot price. It is recommended to short the 05 and 01 corn contracts on a short - term basis and try to narrow the spread between the 01 corn and starch contracts when the spread is high [7][8] Third Part: Corn Options - The option strategy is a short - term strategy of accumulating puts and calls, with rolling operations [10] Fourth Part: Related Attachments - The attachments include various graphs showing the spot prices of corn in different regions, the basis of corn 01 contract, the spreads between different corn and corn starch contracts, and the basis and spreads of the corn starch 01 contract [12][14][18]

Group 1: Report General Information - The report is titled "Corn System Data Daily" and is from the Agricultural Products Research Center of ITC Futures Research Institute, written by Huang Xianglan on November 6, 2025 [3][4] Group 2: Market Data Summary Spot Market - Corn spot prices in various regions show different trends. For example, the price in Henan - Zhengzhou increased by 20 yuan to 2220 yuan, while the price in Jilin - Changchun decreased by 10 yuan to 2060 yuan. Corn starch spot prices in Jilin remained at 2550 yuan, and wheat spot prices in Anhui remained at 2517 yuan [5] Futures Market - The closing price of the corn main contract was 2115 yuan, down 5 yuan; the closing price of the corn starch main contract was 2420 yuan, up 8 yuan. The closing price of US corn was 430.75 cents per bushel, with an estimated profit of 96.03 yuan per ton for imported US corn [5] Spread and Inventory Data - The spread between starch and corn (main continuous) was 305, and the spread between starch and corn (Jilin spot average) was 490. North Port corn inventory was 852 thousand tons, and Guangdong Port's domestic and foreign trade corn inventories were 193 thousand tons and 194 thousand tons respectively. Deep - processing corn inventories in the Northeast and North China were 1.926 million tons and 685 thousand tons respectively [5] Group 3: Supply and Demand Analysis Supply - Northeast production areas face concentrated supply pressure, and there is also pressure to store poor - quality damp grain in North China. The 2025/2026 planting cost continues to decline, the sown area is stable or slightly decreasing, the yield per unit is good, and there is an overall expectation of a bumper harvest. Imported grain supply is shrinking due to policy restrictions [5] Demand - In the short - term, livestock and poultry are expected to maintain high inventory, supporting feed demand. However, current breeding profits are in the red, and national policies may control pig inventory and weight, which may affect long - term supply. Feed enterprises have a rigid demand for replenishing inventory, and deep - processing enterprises have seasonal inventory - building needs, but they tend to lower prices for low - quality grain [5] Group 4: Inventory Situation - Due to good shipping demand, the inventory accumulation speed at North Ports is slow, and the corn inventory at South Ports has rebounded from a low level. With the addition of new - season corn, ports are expected to be in an inventory - accumulation stage. Feed enterprise inventories are at a low level, and deep - processing corn inventories are seasonally accumulating [5] Group 5: Market Outlook - In the short - term, North Port prices are relatively firm, but both futures and spot prices will face selling pressure tests later. The market is expected to show a volatile bottom - building trend. Attention should be paid to the rhythm of traders' grain purchases and policy changes [6]
