1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No investment ratings were provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Oil and Fat Industry - The overall trend of the oil and fat market is complex. The prices of soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil have shown different degrees of changes. The basis of palm oil has increased significantly, and the import profit of palm oil has also improved. The market is affected by multiple factors such as supply and demand, import costs, and cross - period spreads [1]. Corn Industry - In the short term, the corn market is supported by supply tightening and the wheat purchase policy, and the futures market is running strongly. In the long term, the supply is tight, imports and substitutes are decreasing, and the breeding consumption is increasing, which supports the upward movement of corn prices. However, the downstream deep - processing industry is in a continuous loss state, which restricts the replenishment enthusiasm [4]. Sugar Industry - The global sugar supply is tending to be loose, which puts pressure on raw sugar. The domestic sugar market follows the foreign market to weaken, but the high sales rate and low inventory in the domestic market support the price. Considering the future pressure of imported sugar arrival, the sugar price is expected to maintain a volatile and weak pattern [7]. Meal Industry - The Sino - US economic and trade talks have increased the support for US soybeans, but the overall planting progress of new crops is relatively fast, and there is still uncertainty about whether the expected reduction in production can be realized. The domestic soybean arrival volume, inventory, and soybean meal inventory are increasing rapidly, and the basis is continuously weak. However, the increase in US soybeans and the rebound in Brazilian premiums support the domestic soybean meal trend. It is expected that the soybean meal will continue to be volatile and strong, but investors should be cautious about chasing up [9]. Pig Industry - The spot price of live pigs maintains a volatile structure. The supply - demand situation has not improved significantly, and the demand is still weak due to the hot weather. Although there is still a certain profit in the breeding industry, the market capacity expansion is cautious, and the upward driving force is not strong. It is expected that the market will maintain a volatile structure [11]. Cotton Industry - The downstream of the cotton industry is weak, with the finished product inventory gradually rising and the start - up rate stable but decreasing. The cotton spot is better than the downstream, and there are still concerns about the tight inventory in the near - term spot period. However, the new cotton supply is expected to be good, and the output is expected to increase steadily. The Zhengzhou cotton futures still face some pressure, and the domestic cotton price is expected to fluctuate within a range in the short term [13]. Egg Industry - In June, the inventory of laying hens will reach the highest level in the past five years, increasing the egg supply pressure. The super - strong plum rain season this year further weakens the off - season demand. The contradiction between supply and demand in the egg market is expected to reach a peak in the past five years, and the egg price is expected to have weak rebound or continue to decline [14]. 3.
