1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The global sugar supply is expected to be in surplus in the 2025/26 season due to favorable weather in major Asian producing countries, causing ICE raw sugar futures to decline on Wednesday. The most actively traded March raw sugar futures fell 0.04 cents, or 0.30%, to settle at 14.66 cents per pound [2]. - The China Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs predicts that China's sugar production in the 2025/26 season will reach 11.7 million tons, an increase of 500,000 tons from last month's forecast. This is mainly due to a slight increase in the national sugar - cane planting area, good growth of southern sugar - cane, and a slight increase in the sugar content of northern sugar - beets. Currently, 26 sugar mills in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang have all started production, with an estimated total output of 1.4 million tons. Five sugar mills in Yunnan have started production, and nine in Guangxi have started production, 17 fewer than the same period last year. Recent continuous rainfall in the production areas has delayed the start of production. However, sugar imports increased significantly in October, and sugar prices are expected to remain low in the short term [2]. 3.

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Date: November 11, 2025 [1] - Report Author: Xu Liang (Z0002220), Reviewed by Tang Yun (Z0002422) [2] Group 2: Sugar Market Core View - International ICE raw sugar rose to 14.26 cents/pound due to the expected end of the US government shutdown and high domestic prices in India suppressing exports, but there is a long - term pressure of a 2.8 million - ton global sugar surplus in the 2025/26 season. In the domestic market, new sugar quotes are firm and old sugar inventory clearance support the futures prices, but the expected increase in production, off - season consumption, and sufficient supply limit the upside. The market is watching the breakthrough of the 5,500 yuan/ton resistance level [3]. Price and Spread - Sugar futures prices: SR01 closed at 5,480 yuan/ton with a daily increase of 0.09% and a weekly decrease of 0.02%; SR03 at 5,442 yuan/ton (0.18% daily, - 0.24% weekly); SR05 at 5,411 yuan/ton (0.11% daily, - 0.37% weekly); SR07 at 5,410 yuan/ton (0.13% daily, - 0.4% weekly); SR09 at 5,404 yuan/ton (0.02% daily, - 0.57% weekly); SR11 at 5,470 yuan/ton (1.11% daily, 1.03% weekly); SB at 14.26 cents/pound (0.92% daily, 0.35% weekly); W at 409.3 (0.84% daily, 0.74% weekly) [4]. - Sugar price spreads: SR01 - 05 was 70 (up 10 daily, 4 weekly); SR05 - 09 was 2 (up 3 daily, 3 weekly); SR09 - 01 was - 72 (down 13 daily, 7 weekly); SR01 - 03 was 43 (up 6 daily, 4 weekly); SR03 - 05 was 27 (up 4 daily, 0 weekly); SR05 - 07 was 2 (0 daily, down 2 weekly); SR07 - 09 was 0 (up 3 daily, 5 weekly); SR09 - 11 was - 7 (down 5 daily, 71 weekly); SR11 - 01 was - 65 (down 8 daily, 64 weekly) [4].

Import Price and Profit - Brazilian import price: Quota - within was 3,947 yuan/ton (down 20 daily, 59 weekly), over - quota was 4,996 yuan/ton (down 26 daily, 77 weekly). Thai import price: Quota - within was 4,002 yuan/ton (down 21 daily, 69 weekly), over - quota was 5,068 yuan/ton (down 27 daily, 90 weekly) [14]. Group 3: Cotton Market Core View - In the short - term, market sentiment may improve due to China - US trade consultations. The new cotton production in southern Xinjiang is lower than expected, and the purchase price is relatively firm. However, the overall domestic new cotton production is still high, and downstream demand is mediocre. Cotton prices lack upward momentum and may fluctuate in the short - term. Attention should be paid to the hedging pressure around 13,600 - 13,800 yuan/ton and the subsequent new - season production determination [16]. Price and Spread - Cotton futures prices: Cotton 01 closed at 13,560 yuan/ton (down 20, - 0.15%); Cotton 05 at 13,560 yuan/ton (down 20, - 0.15%); Cotton 09 at 13,735 yuan/ton (down 20, - 0.15%); Cotton yarn 01 at 19,855 yuan/ton (down 10, - 0.05%); Cotton yarn 05 was 0 (down 19,860, - 100%); Cotton yarn 09 was 0 (0, - 100%) [17]. - Cotton price spreads: Cotton basis was 1,282 (up 18); Cotton 01 - 05 was 0 (0); Cotton 05 - 09 was - 175 (0); Cotton 09 - 01 was 175 (0); Cotton - yarn spread was 6,280 (up 15); Domestic - foreign cotton spread was 1,872 (up 100); Domestic - foreign yarn spread was - 616 (0) [17]. Group 4: Apple Market Core View - The ground trading of new - season late Fuji apples is coming to an end, mainly concentrated in Shandong and Shanxi. The cold - storage warehousing work is in the later stage. In Shandong's Qixia and Zhaoyuan, not all apples have been harvested, there are many buyers, and striped apples are on the market. In terms of warehousing progress, cold - storages in Gansu have started to sell, Shaanxi's warehousing is almost finished, and in Qixia's western towns in Shandong, a large amount of farmers' apples are still being warehoused [20]. Price and Spread - Apple futures prices: AP01 closed at 9,229 yuan/ton (0.76% daily, 4.15% weekly); AP03 at 9,132 yuan/ton (0.43% daily, 2.0% weekly); AP04 at 9,211 yuan/ton (0.29% daily, 1.69% weekly); AP05 at 9,289 yuan/ton (0.31% daily, 1.94% weekly); AP10 at 8,389 yuan/ton (0.35% daily, 2.08% weekly); AP11 at 8,875 yuan/ton (0.85% daily, 1.22% weekly); AP12 at 9,179 yuan/ton (0.75% daily, 4.09% weekly) [21]. - Apple price spreads: AP01 - 05 was - 101 (- 7.34% daily, - 72.70% weekly); AP05 - 10 was 900 (4.77% daily, - 18.18% weekly); AP10 - 01 was - 799 (6.53% daily, 9.45% weekly); Main - contract basis was - 352 (28.47% daily, 214.29% weekly) [22]. Group 5: Red Date Market Core View - New - season red dates are about to enter the concentrated harvest stage. The current new - season production is the core point of market game. There is indeed a production reduction in southern Xinjiang, but the reduction amplitude is difficult to determine. Affected by factors such as moisture and single - date weight, farmers' estimates of production are prone to偏差. In the short - term, red date prices fluctuate greatly under capital game. With the start of the purchase season and production reduction, the downside space may be limited. Attention should be paid to the subsequent commodity rate and purchase situation of new dates [26]. Price Spread - Red date futures spreads: Red date 01 - 05 spread, 05 - 09 spread, and 09 - 01 spread data are presented graphically, showing their historical trends from 2021 - 2025 [27][29].
