Core Views Oils and Fats - Palm oil futures in Malaysia may face pressure due to potential production growth in July, with a risk of falling below 4,000 ringgit. In China, Dalian palm oil futures are influenced by Malaysian palm oil trends. For soybean oil, although the USDA report adjusted the data, the impact on prices is limited. Domestic soybean oil inventory is increasing, and the basis quotation is under pressure [1]. Meal and Grains - The market sentiment for soybeans is pessimistic due to the USDA's report and concerns about tariffs. However, the Brazilian soybean is firm as the Brazilian premium continues to rise. In China, the inventory of soybeans and soybean meal is increasing, and the basis is oscillating at a low level. The soybean meal futures may have short - term upward potential [3]. Livestock (Pigs) - The pig spot market is weak. Secondary fattening enthusiasm has declined, and market demand is weak. Although the current breeding profit has returned to a low level, there is no basis for a significant decline. The market expects a potential market in July and August, but the actual supply may increase, and the 09 contract on the futures has upward pressure [7][9]. Corn - In the short term, the corn market's weak sentiment is being released. The price decline is slowing down as the remaining grain decreases. In the medium term, the supply is tight, and the demand from the breeding industry is increasing, which will support the corn price. Attention should be paid to the auction results and subsequent supply scale [11]. Sugar - The global sugar supply is becoming more relaxed, and the rebound of raw sugar is limited, maintaining a bottom - oscillating pattern. The domestic sugar supply is marginally loose, and it is advisable to take a bearish approach after the price rebounds [14]. Eggs - The supply of eggs is sufficient, but high - temperature weather affects egg production. The egg price has reached a phased low, and demand may improve due to potential promotions and increased replenishment by traders. The egg price may rise first and then stabilize this week, but the rebound amplitude is limited [16]. Cotton - The differentiation between the upstream and downstream of the cotton industry is intensifying. The downstream is facing difficulties, but the tight commercial inventory of cotton in the 2024/25 season before the new cotton is on the market still strongly supports the cotton price. In the short term, the domestic cotton price may oscillate in a higher range, but there is a risk of decline if the downstream remains weak [19].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of teaching children to be pragmatic and resilient in a competitive society rather than overly focusing on moral education, which may leave them unprepared for real-world challenges [2][10][20]. Group 1: Education Philosophy - Traditional Chinese education often emphasizes protection and moral values, which may not equip children for the harsh realities of life [3][4][6]. - Parents may overestimate their ability to provide lifelong support, leading to a disconnect when children face societal challenges [4][7][10]. - Moral education is often more feasible for wealthy families who can afford to practice their values, while ordinary families may inadvertently harm their children by overemphasizing morality without practical skills [8][10]. Group 2: Real-World Preparedness - Children raised with a strong moral compass may struggle in a competitive environment where such values are not reciprocated [11][14][18]. - The article argues that teaching children to prioritize their own survival and financial independence is crucial, especially for middle-class families [20][24]. - Practical life skills and understanding market dynamics should be integrated into children's education to prepare them for future challenges [21][22][23]. Group 3: Parental Responsibility - Parents should focus on developing their own understanding of the world before imparting lessons to their children, ensuring that they provide coherent and practical guidance [26][27]. - The article suggests that merely enrolling children in various classes does not equate to effective education; parents must engage actively in teaching survival skills [25][24].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that the polyolefin market experienced slight fluctuations, with LLDPE and PP futures showing minor declines of 0.23% and 0.31% respectively, while the pure benzene market saw an increase of 4.80% [1] - LLDPE main contract closed at 7291 yuan/ton and PP main contract at 7069 yuan/ton, with the current spot prices for LLDPE ranging from 7170 to 7650 yuan/ton and PP prices between 7020 to 7220 yuan/ton across different regions [1] - Supply pressures eased slightly due to concentrated maintenance of production facilities, with PE and PP operating rates at 74.68% and 77.42% respectively as of July 10 [1] Group 2 - The article notes that the demand for polyolefins is currently weak due to seasonal factors, with various industries showing stable or declining operating rates [1] - As of July 10, the inventory levels for PE and PP were reported at 15.692 million tons and 5.604 million tons respectively, indicating a slight increase in trade inventory [1] - The cost side is influenced by OPEC+ production plans, which have led to a slight rebound in oil prices, providing some support to the market despite the overall supply-demand balance being loose [1] Group 3 - Pure benzene futures rose to 6183 yuan/ton, while styrene showed a slight increase to 7416 yuan/ton, with spot prices for pure benzene in East China at 5960 yuan/ton [1] - The operating rate for pure benzene was reported at 77.77%, with downstream weighted operating load at 80.73%, indicating a slight increase in production [1] - Inventory levels for pure benzene and styrene showed a decrease and increase respectively, with pure benzene port inventory at 15.9 million tons and styrene at 12.8 million tons as of July 9 [1]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Copper - After the 232 investigation is finalized, the electrolytic copper in non - US regions will show a pattern of "loosening supply expectations and weak actual demand", and the spot contradiction will be gradually resolved. The next stage may return to macro trading, and the repeated negotiations on reciprocal tariffs will also disturb copper prices. The main contract should focus on the 78000 support level [1]. Aluminum - For alumina, it is expected that the main contract price will fluctuate widely in the range of 2950 - 3250 this week. Mid - term, it is recommended to arrange short positions at high prices. For aluminum, the current aluminum price is running at a high level, but under the pressure of inventory accumulation expectations, weakening demand, and macro disturbances, it is expected to be under short - term high - level pressure. The main contract should focus on the 20800 pressure level [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The recycled aluminum market maintains a pattern of weak supply and demand, with more prominent demand - side contradictions. It is expected that the market will be mainly in a weak and volatile state, with the main contract running between 19400 - 20200 [5]. Zinc - In the medium - to - long term, zinc is still in a cycle of loose supply. If the growth rate of the mine end is lower than expected and downstream consumption performs better than expected, the zinc price may maintain a high - level shock pattern; in a pessimistic scenario, the zinc price may decline. It is advisable to short at high prices in the medium - to - long term, with the main contract referring to the range of 21500 - 23000 [8]. Nickel - Macro uncertainties increase, but the market sentiment is currently stable. The nickel fundamentals change little, and the cost support for refined nickel weakens. In the short term, the market is expected to adjust within a range, with the main contract referring to the range of 118000 - 126000 [10]. Tin - In the short term, macro disturbances are large. It is recommended to continue holding short positions established at previous high prices, and pay attention to the resumption progress in Myanmar and US tariff policies [13]. Stainless Steel - Currently, macro uncertainties increase, and the fundamentals still face pressure. The nickel - iron price remains low, weakening cost support. The supply - side production cuts are less than expected, and demand is weak with slow inventory reduction. In the short term, the market will be mainly in a volatile state, with the main contract running between 12500 - 13000 [16]. Lithium Carbonate - In the short term, the fundamentals still face pressure, and the balance surplus may increase recently. The market will be in a state of game between sentiment and fundamentals, and it is expected to be mainly in a range - bound state, with the main contract referring to the range of 60000 - 65000 [18]. 3.
