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].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Corn: US corn planting is finished, and the price is weak. With the reduction of Sino - US tariffs, US corn prices continue to decline, and weather factors may be a future focus. China has adjusted tariffs on US corn and sorghum. Importing foreign corn is profitable, with the August import price from Brazil at 2001 yuan. Northern port closing prices are stable, and Northeast corn prices are steady. In North China, corn supply is tight, but the rebound of corn prices is limited due to continuous auctions of imported corn [3][5]. - Starch: The number of trucks arriving at Shandong deep - processing plants has increased, and Shandong corn prices are strong. Starch prices in Shandong and Northeast China are stable. Corn starch inventory has increased this week. In the long - term, due to weak demand, starch enterprises will be in a loss state. The 09 starch contract is expected to fluctuate narrowly in the short term [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Data - **Futures Market**: On July 24, 2025, the closing prices of various corn and corn starch futures contracts mostly declined. For example, C2601 closed at 2238, down 9 (-0.40%); CS2605 closed at 2280, down 11 (-0.48%). Trading volumes generally decreased, while some positions increased [2]. - **Spot Market**: Corn prices in Qinggang, Jiamusi, Zhucheng, etc., and starch prices of enterprises like Longfeng, COFCO, etc., are provided.

Market Analysis - **Corn**: US corn prices are affected by planting progress, tariff policies, and potential weather speculation. In China, North China's corn supply is tight, and Northeast corn prices are stable. The substitution of wheat for corn continues, and the demand from the breeding industry is weak. Imported corn auctions are influencing the market [3][5]. - **Starch**: Starch prices are mainly determined by corn prices and downstream stocking. This week's inventory increase, combined with long - term weak demand, indicates a difficult situation for starch enterprises. The 09 starch contract is expected to move narrowly [6]. Trading Strategies - **Unilateral**: Domestic 09 corn will continue to fluctuate narrowly, and it is recommended to wait and see [8]. - **Arbitrage**: Close the position of buying spot and shorting 09 corn, and wait and see on the spread between 09 corn and starch [8]. Corn Options - Option strategy: Enterprises with spot positions can close out short positions of corn call options, or short - term traders can try to sell on rallies [11].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Views Corn - The excellent rate of US corn crops remains stable, in line with market expectations, reaching the highest level in the same period since 2016. The initial growth excellent rate is good, with high output prospects, and international corn prices continue to face pressure [2]. - In the domestic market, the frequency and time of weekly auctions of imported corn are relatively fixed, but the auction transaction volume remains low, and the transaction premium is gradually decreasing. Due to the previous weak outlook of traders and panic selling, the supply of grain sources has increased temporarily. However, the deep - processing efficiency is poor, and some enterprises have suspended or limited production, leading to relatively limited procurement demand and a continuous decline in prices. Recently, as traders' selling speed is fast, the inventory of commercial grain has decreased significantly, and the sentiment of grain - holding entities to hold back sales has increased, resulting in a decreasing trend of grain supply. Some processing enterprises have rigid procurement needs, and the purchase price has strengthened slightly recently. The corn futures have maintained a low - level shock recently after the previous decline, and short - term observation is recommended [2]. Corn Starch - Affected by continuous production losses of corn starch enterprises, the industry's operating rate remains at a low level in recent years, and the supply pressure has significantly weakened. However, the demand in the civilian and paper - making markets is poor, and the downstream demand is in the traditional off - season, so the supply - demand situation remains loose. As of July 23, the total starch inventory of national corn starch enterprises was 131100 tons, a decrease of 3500 tons from last week, with a weekly decline of 2.60%, a monthly increase of 0.15%, and a year - on - year increase of 19.40%.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - **Corn**: Internationally, the high initial growth - stage good rate of US corn indicates high output prospects, putting continuous pressure on international corn prices. Domestically, the auction of imported corn has low transaction volume and decreasing premiums. Due to previous panic selling by traders, the supply increased, but with poor deep - processing benefits and limited enterprise procurement demand, prices fell. However, as traders' inventories decreased and the willingness to hold grains increased, the supply decreased, and some processing enterprises had rigid procurement needs, leading to a slight increase in purchase prices. The corn futures price rebounded recently after a continuous decline, and short - term observation is recommended [2]. - **Corn Starch**: Affected by continuous production losses, the industry's operating rate is at a low level in recent years, reducing supply pressure. But the demand in the civilian and paper - making markets is poor, and it is the traditional off - season for downstream demand, with slightly slower downstream pick - up. The supply - demand situation remains loose. The corn starch futures price rebounded recently following the rebound of corn [3]. 3.

China's tariff on US corn is adjusted, and foreign corn import profit is high. Brazilian corn import price in August is 1930 yuan. North China wheat can substitute for corn. Domestic breeding demand is weak, and downstream feed enterprise inventories are high. Imported corn auctions continue, and the market will be volatile. North China corn has support at around 2400 yuan/ton, and Heilongjiang corn at around 2200 yuan/ton [4][6] Starch Market - Shandong deep - processing arrivals decreased, and corn prices were stable. Starch inventory increased this week, with a monthly increase of 2.14% and a year - on - year increase of 26.97%. Starch prices depend on corn prices and downstream stocking. The by - product price is relatively strong. The medium - to - long - term starch demand is weak, and enterprises will be in a loss state. The short - term decline of 09 starch futures is limited [7] Group 4: Trading Strategies Futures Trading - **Unilateral**: Domestic 09 corn will have narrow - range fluctuations [9] - **Arbitrage**: Close the position of buying spot and shorting 09 corn; widen the spread between 09 corn and starch at low levels and conduct oscillatory operations [9] Options Trading - Enterprises with spot positions can sell corn call options [12] Group 5: Related Attachments - The report includes six figures showing various price trends and spreads of corn and corn starch, such as regional corn spot prices, corn 09 contract basis, corn 9 - 1 spread, etc. [14][16][20]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The US corn planting is finished, and the price is weak. With the reduction of Sino - US tariffs, the US corn is in a bottom - shock state, and weather factors may be used for speculation. The import profit of foreign corn is high, and the domestic corn spot is expected to be relatively stable in the short term but may continue to decline due to upcoming auctions. The starch price is mainly affected by corn price and downstream stocking, and the short - term decline space of the 09 starch contract is limited [5][7][8] - The short - term trading strategy for corn is that the domestic 09 corn will have a narrow - range shock. For those with spot, they can short the 09 corn, and the spread between 09 corn and starch can be expanded when it is low. For options, spot - holding enterprises can sell corn call options [9][10][13] 3.

With the reduction of Sino - US tariffs, it is in a bottom - shock state, and weather factors may be used for speculation. The import profit of foreign corn is high, and the August import price from Brazil is 1943 yuan. The northern port flat - hatch price is weak, and the northeast corn spot price has declined. The supply in North China has decreased, and the corn spot price is stable. The price difference between northeast and North China corn has narrowed. The wheat price in North China is weak, and the price difference between wheat and corn is small, so wheat continues to be a substitute. The domestic breeding demand is still weak, and the inventory of downstream feed enterprises is high. Recently, imported corn has been auctioned, and brown rice is about to be auctioned, so the corn spot price will continue to decline. It is expected that the North China corn will have strong support at around 2450 yuan/ton, and Heilongjiang corn will have support at around 2220 yuan/ton [5][7] 3.2.2 Starch - The number of vehicles arriving at Shandong deep - processing plants has decreased, and the corn spot price in Shandong is stable. The starch price in Shandong is around 2900 yuan, and the northeast starch spot price is also stable. This week, the corn starch inventory has increased to 133.7 million tons, an increase of 2.4 million tons from last week, with a monthly increase of 2.14% and a year - on - year increase of 26.97%. The starch price mainly depends on the corn price and downstream stocking. The by - product price is relatively strong, and the price difference between corn and starch spot is low. In the medium - to - long - term, due to the weak demand for starch, enterprises will be in a long - term loss state. It is expected that the short - term decline space of the 09 starch contract is limited [8] 3.3 Corn Options - The option strategy is that spot - holding enterprises can sell corn call options [13] 3.4 Relevant Attachments - The attachments include figures such as the spot price of corn in various regions, the basis of the corn 09 contract, the 9 - 1 spread of corn, the 9 - 1 spread of corn starch, the basis of the corn starch 09 contract, and the spread of the corn starch 09 contract [15][17][21]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The US corn market is at the bottom and may be influenced by weather factors. The import profit of foreign corn is high, and the short - term domestic corn spot is relatively stable, but the upside space is limited.
