Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Report's Core View - Gold is expected to be weak in the short - term due to the easing of Sino - US trade relations and pressure from the overall global macroeconomic warming since August [1][3]. - Copper is expected to be strong in the short - term as the domestic atmosphere warms up and the copper price stabilizes and rebounds, despite some negative factors [1][5]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Gold - Short - term view: Downward; Medium - term view: Sideways; Intraday view: Sideways and weak; Overall view: Bearish in the short - term [1][3]. - Core logic: Yesterday, the gold price was under continuous pressure. The US July PPI annual rate reached 3.3%, the highest since February, and the monthly rate was 0.9%, the largest increase since June 2022. After the data release, interest - rate futures traders reduced their bets on Fed rate cuts, and the US dollar index rebounded, pressuring the gold price. Since August, the global macro has generally improved, adding pressure on the gold price [3]. Copper - Short - term view: Upward; Medium - term view: Sideways; Intraday view: Sideways and strong; Overall view: Bullish in the short - term [1][5]. - Core logic: Yesterday, the copper price fluctuated downward, and the night - session maintained a weak trend. The joint statement of the Sino - US Stockholm economic and trade talks was released on August 12, 2025, creating a good macro atmosphere at home and abroad, which is beneficial for the copper price. However, the higher - than - expected US PPI, the cooling of rate - cut expectations, and the rebound of the US dollar index are negative for the copper price. It is the off - season in the industry, and inventories have increased slightly. Overall, the copper price is expected to be strong driven by the macro factors [5].

Core Viewpoint - The recent call by former President Trump for China to significantly increase its soybean purchases from the U.S. reflects the severe challenges faced by the American agricultural sector, particularly the soybean industry, and highlights the complexities of U.S.-China trade relations [3][5][8] Group 1: Agricultural Sector Challenges - The U.S. soybean industry has seen a drastic decline in its market share in China due to tariffs and trade tensions, with exports dropping from several million tons to 22.13 million tons last year [3] - China has diversified its soybean import sources, with Brazilian soybeans accounting for 69% of its total imports, while U.S. soybeans only represent about 21% [3][5] - The economic struggles of American farmers, who are a crucial support base for the Republican Party, have intensified pressure on Trump to improve the situation [3][5] Group 2: Political Implications - The upcoming U.S. midterm elections make agricultural state votes critical, and continued low sales of farm products could lead to voter dissatisfaction with the ruling party [5] - Trump's push for increased soybean purchases is seen as an attempt to stabilize support from agricultural states ahead of the elections [5] Group 3: Trade Relations and Economic Strategy - Trump views expanding agricultural exports as a means to reduce the U.S.-China trade deficit, but this approach may not address the underlying issues of trade imbalance [5][6] - The complexity of U.S.-China trade relations means that unilateral demands from the U.S. are unlikely to yield significant changes in China's import strategies [6][8] - A mutual and fair resolution to trade disputes, including tariff barriers, is essential for meaningful progress in trade cooperation [6][8]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Gold is expected to decline in the short - term, with a short - term bearish outlook due to the easing of Sino - US trade relations and overall global macro warming, despite support from the weakening US dollar and rising Fed rate - cut expectations [1][3] - Copper is expected to rise in the short - term, with a short - term bullish outlook as the positive macro environment from the Sino - US Stockholm economic and trade talks outweighs the slightly negative industry situation during the off - season [1][5] Group 3: Summaries by Related Catalogs Gold - Short - term view: Decline [1] - Medium - term view: Oscillation [1] - Intraday view: Oscillation with a weak bias [1] - Core logic: The US economy underperformed expectations in July, with CPI lower than expected, leading to rising Fed rate - cut expectations. The US dollar index fell below 98, supporting the gold price. However, the overall global macro warming exerts pressure on the gold price. Technically, focus on the 3400 mark of New York gold for the battle between bulls and bears [3] Copper - Short - term view: Rise [1] - Medium - term view: Oscillation [1] - Intraday view: Oscillation with a strong bias [1] - Core logic: The joint statement of the Sino - US Stockholm economic and trade talks on August 12, 2025, created a positive macro environment. Although it is the industry off - season with a slight increase in inventory, the positive macro factors are expected to drive the copper price to run strongly. Technically, focus on the technical support at the 79,000 mark [5]

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The soybean market is influenced by multiple factors, with the US soybean market being undervalued and supply exceeding demand, while the domestic soybean import cost is in a state of small - scale upward oscillation. The domestic soybean meal market is in a season of supply surplus, and the spot may start destocking in September [2][3][5]. - The palm oil market has seen an increase in exports in Malaysia, and the market is supported by factors such as the potential of the Indonesian B50 policy, but the upside is limited by factors like annual - level production increase expectations [7][9]. - The sugar market is expected to see a decline in the price of Zhengzhou sugar in the future, considering factors such as increased import supply and expected increase in domestic planting area in the next season [11][12]. - The cotton market has seen a short - term rebound in prices due to the USDA report and the suspension of reciprocal tariffs, but the downstream consumption is average, and the price may continue to oscillate at a high level in the short term [14][15]. - The egg market has a large supply scale, and the egg price is weaker than expected in the peak season. The short - term price may fluctuate, and the medium - term focus is on short - selling opportunities after the rebound [16][17]. - The pig market has a situation where the spot price is weak while the futures price is strong. The medium - and long - term contracts are recommended to go long on dips, and attention should be paid to the inter - monthly spread shorting opportunities for the far - month contracts [19][20]. 3. Summary by Category Soybean/Meal - **Market Conditions**: The USDA significantly reduced the planting area, with the US soybean production decreasing by 108,000 tons month - on - month. The domestic soybean meal market is in a seasonal supply surplus, and the downstream inventory days increased by 0.32 days to 8.37 days. The domestic soybean import cost is in a state of small - scale upward oscillation [2][5]. - **Trading Strategy**: Given the mixed long and short factors in the soybean meal market, it is recommended to go long at the lower end of the cost range and pay attention to the crushing margin and supply pressure at the upper end, as well as the progress of Sino - US tariffs and new supply - side drivers [5]. Oil - **Important Information**: Malaysia's palm oil exports from August 1 - 10 increased by 23.67% compared to the same period last month, and Indonesia distributed about 6.8 million kiloliters of B40 biodiesel in the first half of 2025. Malaysia's palm oil production in July increased by 7.09% month - on - month, and the inventory increased by 4.02% [7]. - **Trading Strategy**: The fundamentals support the central price of oils, and the palm oil market may maintain stable inventory in the 7 - 9 months and has an upward expectation in the fourth quarter. However, due to multiple restrictive factors, the market should be viewed as oscillatory [9]. Sugar - **Key Information**: The Zhengzhou sugar futures price continued to rebound on Wednesday, and the spot prices of various sugar - making groups increased. Brazil's sugar exports in the first week of August had an average daily export volume 2% higher than that of the whole month of August last year [11]. - **Trading Strategy**: With the continuous increase in import supply in the second half of the year, the price of Zhengzhou sugar is more likely to decline in the future, assuming no significant rebound in the outer - market price [12]. Cotton - **Key Information**: The Zhengzhou cotton futures price continued to rebound on Wednesday. The USDA report showed a decrease in global cotton production and consumption estimates, and a decrease in the ending inventory [14]. - **Trading Strategy**: Driven by the USDA report and the suspension of reciprocal tariffs, the short - term cotton price may continue to oscillate at a high level, but the downstream consumption is average [15]. Egg - **Spot Information**: The national egg price was mostly stable, with a few areas making small adjustments. The supply remained stable, and the market digestion was average [16]. - **Trading Strategy**: The supply scale is large, and the egg price in the peak season is weaker than expected. The short - term price may fluctuate, and the medium - term focus is on short - selling opportunities after the rebound [17]. Pig - **Spot Information**: The domestic pig price mainly increased slightly, and the downstream increment was not obvious, so the continuous price increase is difficult [19]. - **Trading Strategy**: The medium - and long - term contracts are recommended to go long on dips, and attention should be paid to the inter - monthly spread shorting opportunities for the far - month contracts [20].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The USDA's August 2025/26 cotton monthly report shows significant adjustments in global cotton supply and demand data, with a sharp decline in US cotton production exceeding market expectations, leading to a substantial increase in US cotton prices.

Group 1 - The core point of the news is the mutual agreement between China and the U.S. to suspend the implementation of 24% tariffs for 90 days, which is expected to stabilize bilateral trade and global supply chains [1][3] - The suspension of tariffs will effectively reduce operational costs for businesses, providing strong support for the recovery and growth of bilateral trade [3] - The stability of China-U.S. trade relations is crucial for the global supply chain, as both countries are major exporters and importers of intermediate goods [3] Group 2 - China's export resilience is highlighted, with a reported goods trade export value of 15.31 trillion yuan, reflecting a growth of 7.3% in the first seven months of the year [3] - China possesses a robust and complete industrial system, allowing for rapid adjustments in production to adapt to external changes [4] - The expansion of the domestic market, driven by rising income levels, continues to provide strong support for economic growth [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the report industry investment rating 2. Report's Core View - The short - term view of Gold 2510 is bearish, with a mid - term view of consolidation and an intraday view of weak consolidation, indicating a short - term bearish outlook due to the easing of Sino - US trade relations [1]. - The short - term view of Copper 2509 is bullish, with a mid - term view of consolidation and an intraday view of strong consolidation, suggesting a short - term bullish outlook as the domestic sentiment warms up and copper prices stabilize and rebound [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Gold - **Price Movement**: Yesterday, gold prices fluctuated. New York gold oscillated around $3400, London gold around $3350, and Shanghai gold around 777 yuan. This week, gold prices have been weak [3]. - **Core Logic**: The easing of Sino - US trade relations, as shown by the joint statement of the Sino - US economic and trade talks in Stockholm on August 12, 2025, has led to a rise in market risk appetite and a decline in gold prices. Meanwhile, the under - expected US economy, lower - than - expected July CPI, and slightly higher - than - expected core CPI have increased the expectation of Fed rate cuts, with the market expecting three rate cuts totaling 75 basis points this year, which supports the gold price. Technically, gold is at the upper edge of the consolidation range since the second quarter, facing strong technical pressure [3]. Copper - **Price Movement**: Yesterday, copper prices slightly oscillated upwards, with an increase in open interest. The main contract price broke through the 79,000 - yuan mark, and in the night session, it opened higher and moved higher, breaking through 79,400 yuan [4]. - **Core Logic**: The joint statement of the Sino - US economic and trade talks in Stockholm on August 12, 2025, has created a good macro environment at home and abroad, which is conducive to the rise of copper prices. During the industrial off - season, inventory has slightly increased, and the spread between September and October contracts has continued to weaken. With macro positives and industry being neutral to bearish, copper prices are expected to be strong driven by the macro environment, and the futures market may continue the pattern of strong domestic and weak overseas, and weak near - term and strong long - term contracts [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The soybean/meal market has mixed long - and short - term factors. In the short term, the USDA's reduction in planting area is bullish for CBOT soybeans, but the global protein raw material supply surplus limits the upward momentum of soybean import costs. The domestic soybean meal market is in a seasonal supply surplus, with potential inventory reduction in September. [2][4] - The fundamentals of the oil market are supported by factors such as the US biodiesel policy, limited palm oil production potential in Southeast Asia, and low inventory in India and Southeast Asia. However, the upside is restricted by factors like annual - level oil production increase expectations and uncertain RVO rules. [9] - The price of Zhengzhou sugar is likely to continue to decline in the future, considering factors such as increasing import supply, high spot import profit, and expected increase in domestic planting area in the next season. [11] - The cotton market has a bullish market atmosphere but bearish fundamentals. In the short term, it may continue to fluctuate at a high level. [14] - The egg market may experience short - term fluctuations, and in the medium term, attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities after a rebound. [17] - For the hog market, medium - and long - term contracts are recommended to buy on dips, and attention should be paid to inter - month reverse spread opportunities for far - month contracts. [20] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Soybean/Meal Important Information - On Tuesday night, US soybeans rose about 3% from the low. The USDA unexpectedly cut the planting area by 2.5 million acres, but the high yield per acre limited the increase. Rapeseed meal reversed from weakness to strength, driving soybean meal up. The Ministry of Commerce's anti - dumping preliminary ruling on Canadian rapeseed requires a 75% deposit for imports. The domestic soybean meal spot basis was stable on Monday, with good trading and提货, and the downstream inventory days increased slightly to 8.37 days. Last week, 2.1775 million tons of soybeans were crushed in China, and 2.3695 million tons are expected to be crushed this week. [2] - Rainfall in the US soybean - producing areas is expected to be favorable in the next two weeks. Brazilian soybean premiums are stable after rising. US soybeans are undervalued and in a supply - surplus state, with no clear directional driver, and may test previous lows. The import cost of domestic soybeans is rising slightly due to a single supply source. [2] Trading Strategy - In the short term, the USDA's significant reduction in planting area is bullish for CBOT soybeans. However, due to the global protein raw material supply surplus, the upward momentum of soybean import costs is insufficient. It is expected to maintain a stable and slightly rising trend. The domestic soybean meal market is in a seasonal supply surplus, and the spot end may start to reduce inventory in September. It is recommended to buy on dips at the low end of the cost range and pay attention to crushing margins and supply pressure at the high end, as well as Sino - US tariff progress and new supply - side drivers. [4] Oil Important Information - From August 1 - 10, Malaysia's palm oil exports were 453,230 tons, a 23.67% increase from the same period last month. [6] - Indonesia plans to implement the B50 biodiesel mandatory blending policy in 2026, but it may be difficult to start in January, and a series of tests will be carried out, which may take up to eight months. [6] - In July, Malaysia's palm oil production was 1.812417 million tons, a 7.09% month - on - month increase; inventory was 2.113278 million tons, a 4.02% month - on - month increase, lower than Reuters' expectation of 2.25 million tons; imports were 61,039 tons, a 12.82% month - on - month decrease; and exports were 1.309059 million tons, a 3.82% month - on - month increase. [6] - On Tuesday, domestic palm oil continued to rise. Foreign capital increased net long positions in the three major oils during the day. Stable demand from importing countries and low inventory in Southeast Asia provided continuous bullish factors. Rapeseed oil rose sharply due to the anti - dumping preliminary ruling but fell after some profits were realized at night. The domestic spot basis was stable at a low level. [7][8] Trading Strategy - Fundamentally, the US biodiesel policy draft, limited palm oil production potential in Southeast Asia, low inventory of vegetable oils in India and Southeast Asia, and the expectation of Indonesia's B50 policy support the oil price center. If demand countries maintain normal imports and palm oil production is at a neutral level from July to September, the origin inventory may remain stable, supporting a strong and volatile origin price. There may be an upward expectation in the fourth quarter due to the B50 policy. However, the current valuation is relatively high, and the upside is restricted by factors such as annual - level oil production increase expectations, high palm oil production in the near term, undetermined RVO rules, and macro and demand adjustments in major importing countries. It should be viewed as a volatile market. [9] Sugar Important Information - On Tuesday, the Zhengzhou sugar futures price rebounded. The closing price of the January contract was 5,608 yuan/ton, a 0.63% increase from the previous trading day. The spot prices of sugar groups in Guangxi and Yunnan increased, and the mainstream quotation of processing sugar factories also increased. Brazil exported 109,400 tons of sugar in the first week of August, with an average daily export of 18,200 tons, a 2% increase from the average daily export in August last year. [10] Trading Strategy - In the second half of the year, the increasing import supply will squeeze the sales space of domestic sugar. The spot import profit outside the quota has been at the highest level in the past five years, and the futures valuation is high. Considering the expected increase in domestic planting area in the next season, if the external market price does not rebound significantly, the price of Zhengzhou sugar is likely to continue to decline. [11] Cotton Important Information - On Tuesday, the Zhengzhou cotton futures price rebounded. The closing price of the January contract was 13,980 yuan/ton, a 0.72% increase from the previous trading day. The spot price of Xinjiang machine - picked cotton increased, and the basis was 995 yuan/ton. On August 12, China and the US announced the continuation of suspending reciprocal tariffs and counter - measures for 90 days. [13] Trading Strategy - The suspension of reciprocal tariffs and counter - measures between China and the US for 90 days has strengthened the domestic commodity market. Fundamentally, the downstream consumption is average, the operating rate is at a low level, and the cotton inventory reduction speed has slowed down. With a bullish market atmosphere but bearish fundamentals, it may continue to fluctuate at a high level in the short term. [14] Eggs Important Information - The domestic egg price was mostly stable, with a slight increase in a few areas. The average price in the main production areas rose 0.01 yuan to 3.03 yuan/jin. The supply was mostly sufficient, traders actively sold goods, and the downstream digestion speed was average, with a slight improvement in the digestion of low - priced eggs. Traders were cautious and mostly saw stable prices. [16] Trading Strategy - The continuous increase in newly - hatched chickens and limited culling of laying hens have led to a large supply scale. The egg price in the peak season is weaker than expected, and the futures price has a premium. The near - month contracts are particularly weak. However, with the expectation of a spot price rebound and the risk of fluctuations due to high positions at a low level, the futures market may fluctuate in the short term. In the medium term, attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities after a rebound. [17] Hogs Important Information - The domestic hog price was mostly stable, with slight fluctuations in some areas. The average price in Henan rose 0.04 yuan to 13.73 yuan/kg, and that in Sichuan remained unchanged at 13.31 yuan/kg. Some breeding groups in the north and southwest regions intended to reduce supply and raise prices, which may drive a slight increase in the hog price. In some areas, the supply and demand were weak, restricting each other, and the price may remain stable. [19] Trading Strategy - The continuous weakening of the spot price is in contrast to the futures price. As the trading average weight decreases, the release of current inventory will help relieve the supply pressure in the third and fourth quarters, and the high fat - to - standard price difference provides room for future pressure on hog storage. It is recommended to buy on dips for medium - and long - term contracts but not to chase high prices. For far - month contracts, attention should be paid to inter - month reverse spread opportunities due to the difficult - to - falsify expectation of policy - driven production capacity reduction. [20]
