Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - **Corn**: In the domestic market, the new corn season is approaching in the Northeast production area. Reserve rotation corn is continuously released to supplement market supply. Traders' confidence in price support has weakened, accelerating the sale of remaining grains. Feed - using enterprises have relatively sufficient inventories and low procurement enthusiasm, preferring to wait for new grains. Some price - setting enterprises have continuously lowered their quotes. Recently, due to short - covering by bears, the corn futures price has rebounded slightly from the low level [2]. - **Corn Starch**: With the resumption of work of previously overhauled enterprises, the operating rate of the corn starch industry has rebounded recently, increasing supply - side pressure. Meanwhile, downstream demand is still in the off - season, with poor order signing and shipment. The supply of corn starch far exceeds demand, and inventory pressure remains high. Affected by the corn rebound, the starch price has oscillated higher [3]. 3.

As of August 27, the harvest progress of the 2024/25 Argentine corn crop was 97.2%, 1.3% higher than a week ago [2]. - Pro Farmer's final yield forecast report shows that the total US corn production in 2025 is expected to reach 1.6204 billion bushels, with an average yield of 182.7 bushels per acre, which is a record high but lower than the USDA's August forecast of 1.6742 billion bushels and 188.8 bushels per acre [2]. Key Points of Concern - Monitor the weekly corn consumption and the operating rate and inventory of starch enterprises on Thursday and Friday as reported by Mysteel [3].

Group 1: Market Overview - Pro Farmer's final yield estimate report indicates that the total corn production in the U.S. for 2025 is projected to reach 16.204 billion bushels, with an average yield of 182.7 bushels per acre, marking a historical high but still below the USDA's August forecast of 16.742 billion bushels and 188.8 bushels per acre [1] - As of September 1, the Dalian Commodity Exchange reported a decrease of 1,689 contracts in corn futures warehouse receipts, totaling 67,737 contracts [1] - The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange (BAGE) reported that Argentina's corn harvest is nearing completion, with 97.2% of the 2024/25 crop harvested as of August 27, an increase of 1.3% from the previous week [1] Group 2: Institutional Perspectives - Donghai Futures notes that as September begins, the pricing weight of the new season corn increases, with main futures prices entering last year's pricing range. There is no concentrated port pressure this year, and the low carryover inventory along with excessive rainfall risks in major production areas persist. Despite lower planting costs due to decreased land rental costs, the likelihood of breaking last year's price range is considered low under the current policy environment aimed at stabilizing prices and increasing farmers' income [2] - Zhongyuan Futures highlights that new grain is gradually entering the market, with low inventory levels among Northeast traders and continued imports suppressing market sentiment. Demand from feed consumption is under pressure due to policy impacts, and deep processing enterprises are exerting price pressure to create pricing advantages for new grain. Currently, there is intense competition around the 2,200 yuan level, with actual prices breaking the previous support level of 2,150 yuan. It is advised to maintain a wait-and-see approach, focusing on the rhythm of new grain listings and the potential breakthrough of the 2,200 yuan resistance level, with risks associated with a concentrated new grain market potentially leading to price corrections in the 2,150-2,170 yuan range [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The US corn is oscillating at the bottom, with limited downside space due to potential future cuts in the US corn yield per unit. China has imposed a 15% tariff on US corn and a 22% tariff on US sorghum, but the import profit of foreign corn remains high. The domestic corn spot is relatively stable in the short - term, but weak in the near future due to imports and domestic corn auctions. The starch price is mainly determined by corn price and downstream stocking, and the starch market is expected to be weak in the medium - to - long - term [5][6][7] - The trading strategy suggests that the domestic 09 corn will continue to oscillate narrowly, and 01 corn can be observed or a light - position short - term long can be taken around 2150. An arbitrage strategy is to buy 11 starch and sell 11 corn [8][9][10] - For the corn option, enterprises with spot can close out the short position of corn call options, or short - term traders can try to sell at high points and roll operations [11] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Part 1: Data Futures Disk - The closing prices of C2601, C2605, C2509, CS2601, CS2605, and CS2509 are 2165, 2241, 2208, 2513, 2595, and 2574 respectively, with corresponding price drops of - 4, - 3, - 18, - 9, - 7, - 3 and percentage drops of - 0.18%, - 0.13%, - 0.82%, - 0.36%, - 0.27%, - 0.12%.

The basis of corn and starch in different regions is also provided [3] Spread - Different spreads such as corn inter - delivery, starch inter - delivery, and cross - variety spreads are presented, along with their price changes [3] Part 2: Market Judgment Corn - The US corn is at the bottom, and the import profit of foreign corn is high. The northern port closing price has dropped, the northeast corn is stable, the supply in North China is increasing, and the spot is weak. The domestic breeding demand is weak, and the downstream feed enterprise inventory is high. The corn spot is expected to be stable in the short - term but may decline due to imports and auctions [5][6] Starch - The number of vehicles arriving at Shandong deep - processing plants has increased, the Shandong corn spot is weak, and the starch inventory has increased. The starch price depends on corn price and downstream stocking, and the starch market is expected to be weak in the medium - to - long - term [7] Part 3: Corn Options - Option strategies include enterprises with spot closing out short positions of corn call options, or short - term traders trying to sell at high points and roll operations, along with data on option contracts [11][13] Part 4: Relevant Attachments - There are six figures showing various price trends and spreads of corn and corn starch, including spot prices, basis, and inter - delivery spreads [15][17][22]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - For corn, the high-quality rate of US corn remains good, and the weather is favorable for corn growth in the Midwest, leading to high output prospects and continuous pressure on international corn prices. In the domestic market, the supply is becoming more abundant, and downstream demand is average, with weak procurement enthusiasm. Corn futures prices are generally weak and should be treated with a bearish mindset [2]. - For corn starch, due to continuous production losses, the industry's operating rate is at a low level in recent years, reducing supply pressure. However, downstream demand is in the traditional off - season, and the supply - demand situation remains loose. Corn starch futures prices have been oscillating weakly at a low level recently and should also be treated with a bearish mindset [3].
