1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - All recommended investment stances for corn, live pigs, and eggs are "wait - and - see" [1][3] 2. Report's Core View - For corn, in the short - term, the spot price fluctuates due to a mix of long and short factors, and the progress of farmers' grain sales should be monitored; in the medium - term, there is seasonal selling pressure before the Spring Festival after New Year's Day, and the upside of the spot price is limited, with a wide - range trading approach recommended; in the long - term, the pricing logic is import substitution plus planting cost, with a focus on policy guidance [1] - For live pigs, in the short - term, the approaching Winter Solstice boosts short - term stocking sentiment, but the upward space of pig prices is limited due to supply pressure; in the medium - term, the expected increase in supply before March next year restricts price increases, and the supply pressure may ease from April; in the long - term, supply pressure exists before September next year and may weaken after September if sow inventory continues to decline [1][3] - For eggs, in the short - term, egg prices operate in a low - level range, and attention should be paid to downstream consumption and inventory changes; in the medium - term, the supply pressure of eggs has not been fully released, and the continuous upward momentum of the spot is limited; in the long - term, the continuous expansion of egg - laying hen farming scale may limit the upward space driven by chicken culling [3] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Corn 3.1.1. Market Review - Last night, the corn futures fluctuated within a narrow range. As of the night - session close, the 2603 contract fell 0.27% to 2190 yuan/ton [1] 3.1.2.

Market Logic - In the short - term, the spot price fluctuates due to a mix of long and short factors, and the progress of farmers' grain sales should be monitored; in the medium - term, there is seasonal selling pressure before the Spring Festival after New Year's Day, and the upside of the spot price is limited. The auction of policy - sourced grains in the second quarter next year may form an effective supply; in the long - term, the pricing logic is import substitution plus planting cost, with a focus on policy guidance [1] 3.1.4. Trading Strategy - Adopt a range - trading approach in the medium - and long - term; currently, it is recommended to wait and see or focus on short - term trading. The support levels for the 2601 contract are 2200 - 2220, and those for the 2603 contract are 2180 - 2190 [1] Live Pigs 3.2.1. Market Review - Yesterday, live pig futures fluctuated weakly.

Market Logic - In the short - term, the approaching Winter Solstice boosts short - term stocking sentiment, but the upward space of pig prices is limited due to supply pressure; in the medium - term, the expected increase in supply before March next year restricts price increases, and the supply pressure may ease from April; in the long - term, supply pressure exists before September next year and may weaken after September if sow inventory continues to decline [1][3] 3.2.4. Trading Strategy - The 2601 contract follows the basis - repair logic of spot trading, and attention should be paid to the impact of warehouse receipt quantity on the market; the 2603 contract's pressure has been verified and returns to range operation; the far - month contracts trade the expected difference in capacity reduction driven by policies.

The 2602 contract fell 0.48% to 2916 yuan/500KG [3] 3.3.2. Important Information - The spot price of eggs was mainly stable with a slight increase yesterday. The average price in the main production areas was 3.04 yuan/jin, up 0.01 yuan/jin from the previous day, and that in the main sales areas was 3.4 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day [3] - The inventory was slightly increased and stable yesterday.

Market Logic - In the short - term, egg prices operate in a low - level range, and attention should be paid to downstream consumption and inventory changes; in the medium - term, the supply pressure of eggs has not been fully released, and the continuous upward momentum of the spot is limited; in the long - term, the continuous expansion of egg - laying hen farming scale may limit the upward space driven by chicken culling [3] 3.3.4. Trading Strategy - Previously, it was continuously suggested to pay attention to the trading opportunities of the near - month contracts to collect the premium after the price increase. Currently, it is recommended to wait for the confirmation of inventory accumulation again and then consider short - selling opportunities for the near - month contracts. In the medium - and long - term, it is necessary to focus on whether the chicken culling behavior driven by low prices can continue and whether the culling intensity can start the actual capacity reduction, and then determine the trading direction for next year. Currently, it is difficult to effectively clear the capacity before the second quarter next year, and the supply pressure still exists. Whether the second quarter can be a turning point depends on the chicken culling situation in the first quarter [3]

1. Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Methanol**: Iranian plants have started to shut down, leading to a rebound in both port and inland markets, a slight strengthening of the basis, slow unloading, and a continuous two - week inventory drawdown at ports with a large floating storage. It is expected to return to inventory build - up later. It was difficult to reduce imports from December to January, and the futures contract 01 offers a risk - free arbitrage opportunity for imports. It is recommended to do a 1 - 5 reverse spread on rallies [2]. - **Polyethylene (PE)**: The inventory of the two major state - owned oil companies is neutral year - on - year. Upstream and coal - chemical sectors are reducing inventory, and social inventory remains flat. Downstream inventory of raw materials and finished products is also neutral. The overall inventory is neutral. The basis of contract 09 is around - 110 in North China and - 50 in East China. The overseas markets in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia are stable. The import profit is around - 200 with no further increase for the time being. The price of non - standard HD injection molding remains stable, other price spreads are volatile, and LD is weakening. The domestic linear production has decreased recently. Attention should be paid to the LL - HD conversion and US quotes, as well as new plant commissioning in 2025 [7]. - **Polypropylene (PP)**: The upstream and mid - stream of polypropylene are reducing inventory. In terms of valuation, the basis is - 60, the non - standard price spread is neutral, and the import profit is around - 700. Exports have been performing well this year. The non - standard price spread is neutral, and the markets in Europe and America are stable. The PDH profit is around - 400, propylene price is volatile, and the powder production start - up rate remains stable. The拉丝 production ratio is neutral. The subsequent supply is expected to increase slightly. Downstream orders are average currently, and raw material and finished product inventories are neutral. Under the background of over - capacity, the pressure on contract 01 is expected to be moderately excessive. If exports continue to increase or there are many PDH plant overhauls, the supply pressure can be alleviated to a neutral level [7]. - **Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)**: The basis of contract 01 is maintained at - 270, and the ex - works basis is - 480. Downstream operating rates are seasonally weakening, but there is a strong willingness to hold inventory at low prices. The inventory of the mid - upstream is continuously accumulating. Northwest plants have seasonal overhauls in summer, and the load center is between the spring overhaul and the high production in Q1. In Q4, attention should be paid to the commissioning of new plants and the sustainability of exports. Recent export orders have slightly declined. The sentiment in the coal market is positive, the cost of semi - coke is stable, and the profit of calcium carbide is under pressure due to PVC overhauls. The FOB counter - offer for caustic soda exports is 380. The comprehensive profit of PVC is - 100. The static inventory contradiction is accumulating slowly, the cost is stable, downstream performance is mediocre, and the macro - environment is neutral. Attention should be paid to exports, coal prices, commercial housing sales, terminal orders, and operating rates [7]. 3.
