Group 1: Report General Information - Report Type: Agricultural Products R & D Report - Apple Daily - Date: December 30, 2024 - Researcher: Liu Qiannan [1] Group 2: Market Information Spot Prices - Fuji Apple Price Index: Today's price is 109.01, next - working - day price is 108.70, with a decrease of 0.31 - 6 - fruit average wholesale price: Today's price is 7.83, next - working - day price is 7.95, with a decrease of 0.12 - Other apple varieties' prices remain unchanged [2] Futures Prices - AP01: Today's price is 9658, yesterday's close was 9587, with an increase of 71 - AP05: Today's price is 9200, yesterday's close was 9163, with an increase of 37 - AP10: Today's price is 8174, yesterday's close was 8107, with an increase of 67 [2] Price Differences - AP01 - AP05: Today's value is 458, previous trading - day value was 424, with an increase of 34 - AP05 - AP10: Today's value is 1026, previous trading - day value was 1056, with a decrease of 30 - AP10 - AP01: Today's value is - 1484, previous trading - day value was - 1480, with a decrease of 4 [2] Group 3: Market News and Views Trading Logic - This year, apple production decreased, the proportion of high - quality fruits is poor, storage is more difficult, and cold - storage inventory data is low. Cold - storage apple inventory peak is at a low level in the same period over the years, and apple quality is relatively poor. So, the effective inventory is likely to be low, and the apple fundamentals are strong. Although the recent market sales are average and the market is technically weak, considering the production issue, the downward space is relatively limited [5] Trading Strategy - Unilateral: Expected to fluctuate within a short - term range - Arbitrage: Go long on AP01 and short on AP10 - Options: It is recommended to wait and see [8] Market Data - As of December 24, 2025, the cold - storage inventory of apples in the main producing areas of China was 7.4404 million tons, a decrease of 89,400 tons from last week, and the inventory - reduction speed is lower than that of last year - In November 2025, the import volume of fresh apples was 2500 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 18.19% and a year - on - year increase of 48.76%. From January to November 2025, the cumulative import volume was 113,700 tons, a year - on - year increase of 19.71% - In November 2025, the export volume of fresh apples was about 121,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 51.28% and a year - on - year increase of 12.42% [7] Market Conditions - The apple market in the producing areas has changed little, cold - storage transactions are stable, mainly low - price goods. Traders are packaging their own high - quality goods and rarely purchasing from outside. Merchants in various producing areas have started to package Spring Festival gift boxes. The market arrivals are stable, and the mainstream prices are stable - In Luochuan, Shaanxi, the mainstream transaction price of semi - commercial apples above 70 in cold storage is 3.8 - 4.2 yuan per catty. The number of buyers is increasing, and farmers' willingness to sell is rising [7]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The price of the 01 contract of apple futures is likely to continue rising and may reach or exceed the level of the 12 contract due to reduced supply and fewer deliverable fruits [1][2] - The subsequent factor determining apple prices will shift from supply to consumption, and there is a risk of the traditional peak - season being lackluster due to changes in consumption structure [1] - The 05 contract has room for future price increases as good - quality apples are scarce, despite recent price retracements [2] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - The core contradiction for the 01 contract is its final closing price. With this year's apple production reduction and quality decline, fewer deliverable fruits are supporting the price increase [1] - The uncertainty lies in whether the upcoming Spring Festival consumption season will be good or bad, as there are concerns about weak consumption and the "bad money driving out good" situation [1] 1.2 Speculative Strategy Recommendations - The upward momentum of apples has fluctuated recently. Last week, apple futures prices were oscillating strongly, with more significant retracements in the far - month contracts. The net long position decreased to 5232 lots [5] - The basis strategy is difficult to formulate due to the difficulty in determining the spot target, and the month - spread strategy suggests waiting and seeing [6][7] 1.3 Industry Customer Operation Recommendations - The predicted price range for apples is 9200 - 10000 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 10.5% and a historical percentile of 15.1% over three years [8] - For inventory management, when worried about a bumper apple harvest and low purchase prices, enterprises can short apple futures (AP2603) with a 25% hedging ratio at 9700 - 9800 yuan/ton and sell call options (AP2603C) with a 25% ratio at 100 - 120 yuan/ton [8] - For procurement management, when worried about rising apple prices, enterprises can buy apple futures (AP2603) with a 50% hedging ratio at 9200 - 9300 yuan/ton and sell put options (AP2603P9) with a 75% ratio at 160 - 200 yuan/ton [8] Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Key Events 2.1 This Week's Important Information - As of December 24, steel - union data showed that the national apple cold - storage inventory was 744.04 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 8.94 million tons; while Zhuochuang data showed 702.1 million tons, a decrease of 10.06 million tons [11] - In the market, inquiries for late - Fuji apples increased in the second half of the week, but the transaction of farmers' apples was still limited. The consumption in the Guangdong market improved slightly, but there was pressure in daily vehicle - load digestion [11] 2.2 Next Week's Important Information - Zhuochuang and steel - union will release weekly inventory data every Thursday [14] Chapter 3: Disk Interpretation 3.1 Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation - Last week, apple futures oscillated with little overall change, and the near - month contracts were slightly stronger. The position of the main 05 contract decreased seasonally and was lower than last year's level. Profitable seats reduced their positions last week [14] - Technically, the 01 contract of apple futures was strong at a high level, showing an obvious bullish trend, while the 05 contract was weak and needed time to adjust [14] 3.2 Basis and Month - Spread Structure - The basis structure of apples is complex due to inconsistent apple quality each year and different grading conditions in Shandong and the northwest regions. The futures delivery rules are also constantly changing [16] - The 1 - 5 spread has strengthened since December, driven by the near - month delivery logic. The shortage of deliverable fruits has pushed up the price of near - month contracts and the spread, which may further widen before entering the delivery month [16] Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Tracking of Upstream and Downstream Profits in the Industry Chain - Apple profits mainly include planting and storage profits. Currently, the market focuses on storage profits, which are closely related to the opening price. This year, storing apples is challenging due to more low - quality fruits and fewer high - quality ones [18] Chapter 5: Supply and Inventory Projection 5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projection - Affected by spring hot - dry winds and rainy weather during the harvest period, this year's apple production and quality have significantly declined. Zhuochuang estimates the 2025 apple production to be about 34 million tons, an 8% decrease from last year [20] - Based on the current warehousing situation, inventory is about 10% lower than the same period last year, and the effective inventory may be even lower due to more inferior fruits [20]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This year, apple production has declined, the quality fruit rate is poor, preservation is more difficult, and cold storage inventory data is low. The peak cold storage apple inventory this year is at a low level compared to the same period in previous years, and the apple quality is relatively poor. Therefore, it is expected that the effective inventory will likely be low, and the apple fundamentals are strong. Although the recent market sales are average and the market shows a weak technical trend, considering this year's apple production issues, the downward space is expected to be relatively limited [5]. 3.

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report Group 2: Core View - Today, apple futures prices dropped significantly, with the main May contract falling 3%. High apple prices have led to poor market demand and slow sales. Traders are turning pessimistic, and spot prices are slightly weak, putting pressure on the futures market. In the short - term, weak demand will dominate the market. The 1 - month contract is expected to fluctuate at a high level due to delivery cost support. The May contract may trade based on weak demand, but the possibility of a continued sharp decline is low [5] Group 3: Summary by Directory First Part: Market Information - **Spot Prices**: The Fuji apple price index is 108.24, down 0.75 from the next - working - day level.
