Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - The investment rating for both the apple and red date industries is neutral [3][8] Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For apples, the current inventory is low, and the expected new - season output has little change compared to last year. The short - term price is expected to remain stable, and attention should be paid to the trading situation of new - season early - maturing apples [3] - For red dates, there is a large divergence in the market's expectations for the new - season output. The market is sensitive to weather changes in the production area. Under the condition that the reduction in production cannot be disproven, the futures price may rise in the short - term due to capital sentiment. However, considering the high inventory of old dates, if the reduction in production is less than expected, the price may turn weak [7][8] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Apple Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the apple 2510 contract yesterday was 8103 yuan/ton, a change of +39 yuan/ton (+0.48%) from the previous day [1] - Spot: The price of 80 first and second - grade late Fuji in Shandong Qixia was 3.80 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day; the price of semi - commercial late Fuji above 70 in Shaanxi Luochuan was 4.50 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day [1] Market Analysis - The apple futures price rose yesterday.

The spot price is strong, and the trading atmosphere has improved [7] Strategy - Maintain a neutral view. The futures price may rise in the short - term due to capital sentiment when the reduction in production cannot be disproven. However, considering the high inventory of old dates, if the reduction in production is less than expected, the price may turn weak [8]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The soybean import cost is on a stable and slightly rising trend, but the upward momentum is questionable due to the global surplus of protein raw materials.

Although the USDA report is positive and Sino - US tariff policies are favorable, the downstream consumption is average and the destocking speed has slowed down [14][15]. - Egg prices may fluctuate in the short term, and in the medium term, pay attention to short - selling opportunities after the rebound as the supply is large and the price performance in the peak season is weak [17][18]. - The pig price may oscillate in a range. In the short term, consider buying at low prices, in the medium term, pay attention to the upper pressure, and for far - month contracts, use the reverse spread strategy [20][21]. 3.

If the demand countries maintain normal imports and the palm oil production is at a medium level, the origin inventory may remain stable, supporting the origin price. There is an expected increase in the fourth quarter due to the Indonesian B50 policy. Currently, it is expected to fluctuate upward [9].

The egg supply is sufficient, the market demand is average, and today's egg price may be stable or decline [17]. - **Trading Strategy**: The supply of newly - laid eggs is increasing, and the number of culled hens is limited, resulting in a large supply. The egg price performance in the peak season is weaker than expected, and the near - month contracts are particularly weak. In the short term, the futures price may fluctuate, and in the medium term, pay attention to short - selling opportunities after the rebound [18]. Pig - **Important Information**: The domestic pig price was mixed. The average price in Henan decreased by 0.09 yuan to 13.71 yuan/kg, and that in Sichuan remained unchanged at 13.57 yuan/kg.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views Oils and Fats - Palm oil futures face downward pressure due to concerns about production growth and a slowdown in export growth in the second half of the month. In the long - term, there is a risk of price decline. In the domestic market, Dalian palm oil futures are expected to seek support at around 9200 yuan [1]. - For soybean oil, the policy on small refiner exemptions in the US may affect its industrial demand. Domestically, the spot price has fallen with the market, but the basis quote is expected to rise due to increased consumption during the Mid - Autumn Festival and the start of the school term [1]. Grains and Meals - For grains and meals, the bottom range has shifted upward, and the overall trend is still upward. It is recommended to take the opportunity to lay out long - term long positions [3]. Corn - Corn is at the stage of new and old crop alternation. The market sentiment is weak due to sufficient imports and the upcoming new crop. In the short - term, the demand is hard to improve significantly, and the market is expected to remain volatile and weak.

With the increase in the destocking progress in Guangxi, the domestic sugar price is expected to remain volatile, and the downward momentum has weakened [10]. Cotton - Short - term domestic cotton prices may fluctuate within a range due to tight old - crop inventory and low imports. However, with the upcoming new - crop listing and the expected increase in production, the far - end market is under pressure [11]. Eggs - Egg supply is stable, and the market is moving slowly. The inventory of laying hens is large, and the supply of cold - storage eggs may increase the supply pressure. Egg prices are expected to remain bearish [12]. 3.
