1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Sugar**: Brazilian sugarcane production recovery exceeds expectations, putting pressure on the global sugar market. In China, new - season sugar production is expected to increase, and imports are high, but the spot price is stable due to thin inventory. Zhengzhou sugar futures are hovering at a low level [4]. - **Pulp**: As the peak season approaches, downstream demand for pulp replenishment may increase, but the magnitude is uncertain. The pulp market is stabilizing, and the recent listing of offset paper may support pulp futures.

But the fundamental situation is still weak, and the upward price movement may be limited [7][8]. - **Cotton**: The USDA September report has a slightly positive impact on the global cotton market, but the market is still under pressure. In China, there is a game between tight old - season supply and expected loose new - season supply, and cotton futures are likely to fluctuate within a range [9]. - **Apples**: The impact of the old - season apples on the market is coming to an end.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2) Core Views - **Lead**: Supply is temporarily tightened, and with the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut, the pressure on non - ferrous metals is reduced. The lead price has broken through 17,000 yuan/ton. However, limited improvement in demand may suppress the upside space of the lead price. It is expected to fluctuate at a high level in the short term [1]. - **Zinc**: The fundamental situation of Shanghai zinc remains weak, but the extremely low LME zinc inventory overseas and the continuous back structure of LME 0 - 3 support the upward movement of the London zinc price, which in turn boosts Shanghai zinc. With the impact of the interest - rate cut expectation, Shanghai zinc is expected to be in a moderately strong consolidation in the short term, but the upside space may be limited due to fundamental constraints [1]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Lead - **Price and Market Data**: SMM1 lead ingot average price is 16,950 yuan/ton, up 1.04%; futures主力合约收盘价 is 17,160 yuan/ton, up 0.70%; LME3 - month lead futures closing price (electronic) is 2,001.50 dollars/ton, down 0.79%; the ratio of Shanghai - London lead price is 8.57, up 1.51%.

LME inventory is 225,625 tons, and Shanghai lead warehouse receipt inventory is 59,417 tons, down 0.11% [1]. - **Fundamentals - Supply**: Lead concentrate imports are not expected to increase, and processing fees are likely to rise. Some refineries have maintenance plans, with a slight fluctuation in primary lead production. In the secondary lead sector, due to raw materials and losses, the refinery's operating enthusiasm has weakened, and the scope of production cuts has expanded, with the current operating rate below 30% [1]. - **Fundamentals - Demand**: The terminal market has not improved significantly, and the peak - season effect has not been reflected. Dealers mainly digest inventory, and production enterprises produce according to sales. After the lead price broke through 17,000 yuan/ton last Friday, downstream buyers were afraid of high prices, and the purchasing sentiment improved slightly [1]. - **Trading Strategy**: Protect the profits of previous long positions [1]. Zinc - **Price and Market Data**: SMM1 zinc ingot average price is 22,160 yuan/ton; futures主力合约收盘价 is 22,310 yuan/ton, up 0.02%; LME3 - month zinc futures closing price (electronic) is 2,982 dollars/ton, up 0.88%; the ratio of Shanghai - London zinc price is 7.48, down 0.85%.

The profit and production enthusiasm of refineries have improved, and the output shows an obvious increasing trend [1]. - **Fundamentals - Demand**: After the impact of the parade and the SCO Summit dissipates, the downstream enterprises' operating rate has increased significantly, and demand has improved. Also, as the Shanghai - London ratio continues to decline, the zinc ingot export window may open [1]. - **Trading Strategy**: Temporarily stay on the sidelines [1]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - Cost - end crude oil prices face resistance in both rising and falling, with short - term oil prices expected to fluctuate widely. The premium of diluted asphalt, the raw material, remains stable for now, and there is no trend - based guidance from the cost end. In September, the asphalt supply continued to increase, and terminal demand rebounded month - on - month, gradually entering the peak season. Under the pattern of strong supply and demand, the industrial chain inventory continued to decline. Among them, refinery inventory stabilized at a low level, and social inventory declined from a high level. Current refinery profits can support high supply, but social inventory is expected to continue active destocking before the end of the year, adding additional supply to the market. The refinery destocking speed will slow down, and inventory pressure will gradually increase before the end of the year. Asphalt valuation is high, and the medium - to - long - term cracking spread is expected to weaken. The operating range of the BU2511 contract is expected to be between 3350 - 3500 [5]. - Trading strategies include: a unilateral position of oscillation; an arbitrage of a weakening asphalt - crude oil spread; and an option strategy of waiting and seeing [6]. 3.
