1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view is that the oil price will show a volatile and slightly stronger performance in the short - term, rated as "oscillating" [3] 2. Core View of the Report - Sanctions have raised concerns about supply, causing international oil prices to rebound strongly. OPEC+ continues to increase production, demand enters the off - season, and the geopolitical situation cools down. Supply and demand maintain a bearish performance. However, the easing of the US attitude towards Chinese tariffs and the disturbances of European and American sanctions on supply concerns lead to a short - term volatile and slightly stronger performance of oil prices [3][6] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply (Medium - to - long - term)**: EIA, OPEC, and IEA all show an increase in global crude oil production in 2025.

The coking coal weighted index had a narrow - range consolidation, closing at 1167.5 yuan, a rise of 6.5. Coke's coking profit is near the break - even point, and the demand increment is insufficient. Coking coal's supply recovery is slow, and the supply - demand contradiction is not prominent [3][4][5]. Zhengzhou Sugar - Affected by the prospect of global supply surplus in the 2025/26 season and other factors, the US sugar fell on Monday. The Zhengzhou Sugar 2601 contract fell sharply on Tuesday and then had a slight rebound at night. As of the end of September, Guangxi's sugar sales volume increased, but the sales rate decreased, and the industrial inventory increased [5].

In September 2025, China's imports of natural and synthetic rubber increased compared with the same period in 2024 [6]. Palm Oil - On October 14, palm oil futures prices declined slightly. Malaysia lowered the reference price of crude palm oil in November while keeping the export tariff unchanged [7]. Soybean Meal - Internationally, on October 14, CBOT soybean futures were weakly volatile. Domestically, soybean meal futures were also weakly volatile. High imports of soybeans and the expected early listing of Brazilian soybeans help ease concerns about the supply shortage [8]. Live Pigs - On October 14, live pig futures rebounded from a low level. Currently, the live pig market is in a situation of strong supply and weak demand, but it is expected to stabilize and rebound after November, with the rebound height limited by over - capacity expectations [9]. Shanghai Copper - Fed's interest - rate cut expectations and overseas copper mine supply disturbances support copper prices, but Sino - US trade disputes and weak domestic demand lead to copper price fluctuations. The inventory has increased, and the peak - season demand is lower than expected [9]. Iron Ore - On October 14, the iron ore 2601 contract declined. The supply is relatively loose, and there is an increasing pressure on steel mills to reduce production in the future, so the iron ore price is in a volatile trend [10]. Asphalt - On October 14, the asphalt 2511 contract declined. The production and shipment of asphalt decreased, and the demand is affected by weather and funds, so the price is in a volatile trend [10]. Logs - On October 14, log futures prices continued to decline. The spot price remained stable, and the import volume from January to September decreased year - on - year. The supply - demand relationship has no major contradictions, and the market is in a pattern of inventory reduction [12]. Cotton - On the night of October 14, Zhengzhou cotton futures closed at 13240 yuan/ton. The cotton inventory decreased, and the Sino - US trade war has a certain suppressing effect on the cotton market [12]. Steel - On October 14, steel futures prices showed a general downward trend. After the holiday, steel demand is average, the inventory reduction speed may be slow, and the cost support is insufficient, so the steel price may be weakly volatile in the short term [12]. Alumina - On October 14, alumina futures closed at 2805 yuan/ton. The spot market supply is abundant, the inventory is accumulating, and the price is expected to continue to decline [13]. Shanghai Aluminum - On October 14, Shanghai aluminum futures closed at 20860 yuan/ton. The macro - situation is complex, and the supply is stable. The demand is improving, and the social inventory in the East China region has decreased [13].

Core Views of the Report - The oils and fats market is highly volatile due to trade policy changes, with different trends for soybean, palm, and rapeseed oils. Protein meal rebounds from a low level after the impact of Argentine soybean exports. Corn's upward trend is hard to sustain due to improved weather. Hog prices show a near - term weak and long - term strong pattern. Natural rubber maintains a narrow - range oscillation before the holiday, and synthetic rubber stays in an oscillating range. Cotton prices are expected to be weak in the medium - term due to expected yield increases. Sugar prices are expected to decline in the long - term due to expected supply surpluses. Pulp and double - gum paper show oscillating trends, and logs follow the market with a narrow - range oscillation [1][6][7] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Quotes and Views - **Oils and Fats**: Concerns about delayed US soybean export demand led to a bearish oscillation of US soybeans on Wednesday, while domestic oils and fats rebounded on Thursday. The US dollar strengthened, and crude oil prices rose. US soybean harvest progress is normal, but the good - quality rate is lower than last year, and the probability of a further decline in yield is high. Argentine soybean export tax policy impact may end, and domestic soybean imports are expected to decrease seasonally. Palm oil production in Malaysia decreased in September, and exports increased, with limited inventory accumulation. Indonesian biodiesel demand for palm oil may be better than expected. Rapeseed oil imports are expected to be low before November, and domestic inventories may continue to decline [1][6] - **Protein Meal**: The impact of Argentine soybean exports has been realized, and the market rebounds from a low level. International soybean premiums are rising, and US soybeans are entering the harvest period. South American soybean sowing progress is slower than usual. In China, 20 ships of Argentine soybeans have been ordered, and short - term negative factors are exhausted. In the long - term, domestic soybean meal supply is expected to increase in Q4 2025 and the supply gap will disappear in Q1 2026 [7] - **Corn/Starch**: Domestic corn prices are weak. New corn in Heilongjiang's eastern region is on the market, and the purchase price is falling. In North China, the increase in price has slowed down due to improved weather. Argentina has cancelled corn export tariffs, but the impact is limited. In the short - term, there is pressure from new grain listing, and in the long - term, the market is expected to be short - term bearish and long - term bullish [7][8] - **Hogs**: In the short - term, hog supply is abundant, and in the medium - term, the number of hogs for slaughter is expected to increase. The "anti - involution" policy is guiding the industry to reduce production capacity. In the short - term, prices are under pressure, and in the long - term, prices may strengthen if the policy is effectively implemented [9] - **Natural Rubber**: Rubber prices oscillate before the holiday. The fundamentals are strong in the short - term, but there is an expectation of increased supply in Q4.

There are many device overhauls expected from September to November, and the price is at a low level, so the bearish sentiment has decreased. The raw material butadiene price oscillates slightly [13][14] - **Cotton**: New - season Xinjiang cotton production is expected to increase significantly. The inventory is tight in the near - term and loose in the long - term. Demand has improved seasonally, but the sustainability is questionable. Before new cotton harvest, the purchase price may support the futures price, but in the later stage, the price may decline [14][15] - **Sugar**: Zhengzhou sugar prices have fallen below 5500 yuan/ton, and the decline has slowed down. In the short - term, the international trade flow is loose, and domestic consumption and imports are not favorable. In the long - term, global sugar supply is expected to be abundant, and prices are under downward pressure [16] - **Pulp**: Pulp futures oscillate at a low level. After the 09 contract delivery, the market has reached a consensus on the price. The US dollar - denominated pulp price is expected to decline, and the paper market has not effectively transmitted the price. The overall fundamentals are weak, and the futures price is expected to oscillate [17] - **Double - Gum Paper**: Double - gum paper futures oscillate narrowly, and the position has decreased. The spot market is stable, but the demand is weak, and there is no clear upward or downward driver in the short - term. The long - term fundamentals are weak [19] - **Logs**: Logs follow the market and oscillate upwards, maintaining an oscillation around 800 yuan. The spot price is stable, and the inventory has decreased. The market is in a game between weak reality and peak - season expectation, and the fundamentals have improved marginally [20] 3.2 Commodity Index - **Comprehensive Index**: The comprehensive index, specialty index (including commodity 20 index and industrial products index), and sector index (agricultural products index) show different trends.
