Report Summary Core View - The essence of futures trading is a long - term psychological and disciplinary battle, and the most important thing is to persevere, especially in the face of losses, doubts, and loneliness [2][3]. - Many traders fail due to "mid - course changes", while adhering to a proven trading system can lead to success [3]. - An effective trading system should be strictly followed, and emotional trading and poor execution can lead to losses [4]. - Persistence also means respecting "waiting", as most of the time in futures trading is unprofitable but crucial for eventual success [4]. - Persistence does not equal stubbornness; core principles should be adhered to while details can be optimized according to market changes [5].

Comparison and Analogy - The Handan Defense War is compared to futures trading, highlighting the importance of will, organization, and discipline in both scenarios [2][4]. - Traders' inconsistent actions in futures trading are likened to soldiers' desertion in a war, leading to failure [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the documents. 2. Core Views of the Report - Soft Commodity Sector: - **Sugar**: Macro risks and supply - side pressure led to a more than 3% drop in ICE raw sugar.

With weakening demand expectations, Zhengzhou sugar is expected to be weak in the short - term but has limited downside due to cost support [3]. - **Pulp**: Broad - leaf pulp prices are strong, but coniferous pulp is stable to weak. Global pulp supply remains high, and demand support from finished paper is weakening. Pulp is expected to stay at a low level in the short - term [4]. - **Double - offset Paper**: Although the peak season may support prices, high supply elasticity limits the upside potential, and it is expected to be weak in the medium - term [6][7]. - **Cotton**: Both international and domestic cotton markets are under pressure. The international market focuses on yield and economic expectations, while the domestic market is affected by new - season supply and trade relations. Cotton prices are expected to be weak [8]. - Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Sector: - **Apple**: New - season yield and quality uncertainties and mixed consumption support short - term prices [9]. - **Jujube**: The jujube futures price shows a weak - oscillation pattern.

The approaching peak season supports prices, but supply elasticity limits the upside, with a support range of 4100 - 4200 and a pressure range of 4400 - 4500 [19]. - **Cotton 2601**: Hold short positions cautiously.
