1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - The investment rating for the sugar sector in the agricultural, forestry, and livestock industry is "oscillation" [1] - The investment rating for the rubber sector in the energy and chemical industry is "oscillation" [4] 2. Core Views - For the sugar market, the global sugar supply surplus in the 2025/26 season is expected to be 100 million tons, lower than the previous prediction. The upward space for ICE raw sugar is limited due to the overall increasing global sugar production. In the short - term, the low industrial inventory in the domestic market supports the price of Zhengzhou sugar, but in the long - run, the supply pressure will be significant after the new sugar is on the market [1] - For the rubber market, the price of natural rubber is supported in the short - term by the continuous reduction of RU warehouse receipts and the strong raw material prices at home and abroad. However, the lack of terminal demand and the expected arrival of ships in the future will put pressure on the price. The price of synthetic rubber rebounds in the short - term due to the strong price of butadiene, but the long - term upward momentum is limited due to the sufficient supply in the domestic market [4] 3.
