1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Cotton: Neutral [3] - Sugar: Neutral [6] - Pulp: Neutral [9] 2. Core Views - Cotton: The USDA in August significantly adjusted global cotton production and ending stocks, shifting the supply - demand pattern from loose to tight. However, the production adjustments for some countries may not be sufficient, and the realization of the production cut expectation is uncertain. In China, the commercial cotton inventory is at a historical low, and the new cotton is expected to increase in production. The quota policy has a limited impact on the market [2]. - Sugar: The estimated sugar production in Brazil's central - southern region has been lowered, which limits the decline of raw sugar prices. But Brazil is in the peak crushing season, and the northern hemisphere has an increasing production expectation. In China, the import volume is expected to increase, putting pressure on sugar prices [5][6]. - Pulp: In the first half of 2025, the import volume of wood pulp increased. There will be more pulp production capacity put into operation in the second half of the year. The port inventory is high, and the demand is weak. The overall pulp market lacks positive drivers [8]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Cotton Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the cotton 2601 contract was 14,100 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan/ton (-0.14%) from the previous day [1]. - Spot: The Xinjiang arrival price of 3128B cotton was 15,235 yuan/ton, up 135 yuan/ton; the national average price was 15,334 yuan/ton, up 99 yuan/ton [1]. - Market Information: As of the week ending August 23, Brazil's cotton harvest progress was 60.3%, 11.4 percentage points higher than the previous week but 15.8% slower than the same period last year. As of August 25, India's weekly cotton market volume was 0.8 million tons, a 20% year - on - year decline [1]. Market Analysis - International: The USDA adjusted the global cotton balance sheet, but the production adjustment for some countries may not be in place, and the realization of the production cut expectation is uncertain. The US cotton balance sheet is expected to improve, supporting international cotton prices [2]. - Domestic: The "anti - involution" is over, and the Sino - US tariff truce is extended. The commercial cotton inventory is at a historical low, supporting cotton prices. The sliding - scale quota policy has limited impact on the market. The new cotton is expected to increase in production, and there will be hedging pressure during the new cotton listing period [2]. Strategy - Be neutral. Pay attention to the peak - season demand. If the demand improves, cotton prices may be strong before the new cotton is listed; otherwise, there will be pressure during the listing period [3]. Sugar Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the sugar 2601 contract was 5,632 yuan/ton, down 56 yuan/ton (-0.98%) from the previous day [4]. - Spot: The spot price of sugar in Nanning, Guangxi was 5,950 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan/ton; in Kunming, Yunnan it was 5,860 yuan/ton, unchanged [4]. - Market Information: Conab predicted that Brazil's 2025/26 sugarcane production would be 668.8 million tons, a 1.2% year - on - year decrease. The harvest area increased by 1%, but the yield per unit decreased by 2.1% [4]. Market Analysis - International: The estimated sugar production in Brazil's central - southern region has been lowered, limiting the decline of raw sugar prices. Brazil is in the peak crushing season, and the northern hemisphere has an increasing production expectation, so raw sugar prices are expected to fluctuate [5]. - Domestic: The profit of out - of - quota sugar imports has been high for months, and the import volume in July increased significantly. The import supply in August - September is expected to increase, putting pressure on sugar prices [6]. Strategy - Be neutral. The negative impact of import expectations has been reflected in the market. Sugar prices are expected to fluctuate in the short term. In the medium term, due to low inventory and late - growing sugarcane, there may be a price increase in the fourth quarter [6]. Pulp Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the pulp 2511 contract was 5,070 yuan/ton, down 66 yuan/ton (-1.29%) from the previous day [7]. - Spot: The spot price of Chilean Silver Star softwood pulp in Shandong was 5,790 yuan/ton, unchanged; the price of Russian softwood pulp was 5,110 yuan/ton, down 40 yuan/ton [7]. - Market Information: The import wood pulp spot market had individual price fluctuations. The trading volume of imported softwood pulp did not improve significantly, and the cost was under pressure. Some prices of imported hardwood pulp increased, while the supply and demand of imported natural pulp and chemical mechanical pulp were weak [7]. Market Analysis - Supply: In the first half of 2025, the import volume of wood pulp increased, and more pulp production capacity will be put into operation in the second half of the year. The port inventory is high, and the supply pressure remains, with hardwood pulp being more abundant than softwood pulp [8]. - Demand: The pulp consumption in Europe and the US is weak, and the inventory pressure of global pulp mills is increasing. The domestic demand is weak, the finished paper inventory is high, and the paper mills' raw material procurement is cautious. The terminal demand improvement in the second half of the year is limited [8]. Strategy - Be neutral. The pulp market fundamentals have not improved significantly, and pulp prices are expected to continue to fluctuate at a low level in the short term [9].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The impact of coking coal on the coal chemical industry has diminished, and the focus has returned to the fundamentals of methanol itself. The overseas methanol operation remains at a high level, and there is still significant pressure on future arrivals. The maintenance plan for MTO units has not been implemented, and attention should be paid to the progress of future implementation. It is still a period of slight inventory accumulation, and the port basis will maintain a weak consolidation. In the inland area, coal - based methanol has undergone concentrated maintenance but will gradually resume in early August. Among traditional downstream industries, formaldehyde is in a seasonal off - season, while the operation of MTBE and acetic acid still shows some resilience, and the inland demand remains strong. The inventory of inland methanol factories has decreased again, and the inland market is stronger than the port market [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Methanol Basis & Inter - period Structure - The report presents multiple figures related to methanol basis and inter - period structure, including the basis between methanol in Taicang and the main contract, the basis of methanol in different regions relative to the main futures, and the price differences between different methanol futures contracts (such as MA01 - 05, MA05 - 09, MA09 - 01).
