Core Viewpoint - The egg market is entering a critical turning point in 2026, with supply pressures expected to ease as the number of laying hens declines, creating favorable conditions for market balance [1][5]. Group 1: Supply Dynamics - The number of laying hens is projected to decrease from high levels, with expectations that by mid-2026, the stock will fall below 1.3 billion [1][5]. - The trend of capacity reduction is becoming evident, as the profitability of poultry farming has worsened since May 2022, leading farmers to adjust their breeding strategies and significantly reduce the number of chicks being raised [5][11]. - The culling of older hens is accelerating, with the average age of culled hens dropping to around 490 days, indicating a peak in culling expected in the first quarter of 2026 [5][11]. Group 2: Price and Profitability - The current price of eggs is 6.02 yuan per kilogram, while feed costs are at 2.66 yuan per kilogram, resulting in a feed-to-egg price ratio of 2.34, with a projected loss of 26.60 yuan per hen [3][9]. - Despite a slight increase in egg prices due to pre-New Year stocking, prices have stabilized as downstream stocking ends, with expectations of a modest price increase in the coming week [3][9]. - The egg market is characterized by uncertainty and development opportunities, with the restructuring of supply and demand dynamics being a key focus for the year [3][11]. Group 3: Demand Factors - Seasonal fluctuations in demand persist, but there are structural positive changes, with a slowdown in restaurant revenue growth potentially suppressing some demand [5][11]. - The expected pressure on pork prices in the first half of the year may enhance the cost-effectiveness of eggs, providing a supportive alternative demand for the egg market [5][11].

Energy and Chemicals - Crude oil: Has an upward risk due to geopolitical conflicts, but supply may increase [1]. - Fuel oil: Follows crude oil, with short - term supply - demand contradictions not prominent [1]. - Asphalt: High profit, with supply and demand affected by various factors [1]. - BR rubber: High - inventory operation, with attention on price trends [1]. - PX and PTA: PX has a strong market, and PTA maintains high - level operation [1]. - Ethylene glycol: Rebounded due to supply - side news, with high downstream demand [1]. - Short - fiber: Follows cost fluctuations [1]. - Styrene: In a weak - balance state, with upward momentum depending on overseas markets [1]. - Urea: Limited upside space due to weak domestic demand, but supported by cost [1]. - Propylene: Supply pressure is large, but cost support is strong [1]. - PVC: Future expectations are mixed, with potential capacity reduction [1]. - LPG: Cost - supported, with short - term risk premiums rising [1].

Group 1 - The livestock ETF (159865) rose over 1.2%, with institutions indicating that the accelerated reduction in pig production capacity may support sector expectations [1] - Guosen Securities predicts an imminent reversal in the livestock cycle, optimistic about the domestic meat and dairy sectors experiencing a synchronous upward trend, with livestock companies likely to see high elasticity recovery in performance [1] - Domestic beef production capacity reduction may reach levels comparable to the 2019 pig cycle, with a price turning point expected in 2025, potentially leading to continuous price increases until 2028 [1] Group 2 - Domestic raw milk prices have declined for nearly four years, leading to continuous losses and production capacity exit pressure, while the meat-to-milk price ratio has reached historical highs, likely accelerating the elimination of dairy cows and achieving "meat and milk resonance" [1] - In pig farming, leading enterprises are experiencing rapid cash flow improvement and are expected to transform into profitable entities, with cost advantages becoming more pronounced amid industry-wide capacity contraction [1] - In poultry farming, supply fluctuations are limited, and market conditions are expected to improve with demand recovery, allowing leading companies to achieve higher cash flow dividend returns due to excess unit returns [1] Group 3 - The feed industry benefits from the deepening industrialization of livestock and poultry farming, with clear industry division of labor, and leading feed companies are expected to further enhance competitive advantages through technology and service [1] - The pet sector is emerging as a high-quality consumption track benefiting from long-term demographic trends, with domestic brands rapidly rising, and leading pet food companies showing strong mid-term performance growth certainty [1] Group 4 - The livestock ETF (159865) tracks the CSI Livestock Index (930707), which selects listed companies involved in livestock farming, feed processing, and veterinary drug production to reflect the overall performance of the livestock industry [2] - The constituent stocks cover the entire livestock industry chain, demonstrating strong industry representativeness [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Report Core Viewpoints - Short - term, the stock index may continue a relatively strong trend, but attention should be paid to the impact of overseas geopolitical events on market risk appetite. In the long - term, the stock index is expected to rise in 2026 based on 2025 [1]. - Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has recently warned of interest - rate risks, and attention should be paid to the Bank of Japan's interest - rate decision [1]. - Different commodities have various trends, including price increases, oscillations, and potential reversals, with corresponding investment strategies recommended [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - Short - term, the stock index may continue to be strong, and in the long - term (2026), it is expected to rise on the basis of 2025 due to factors like continuous policy efforts, inflation recovery, capital market reform, and the support of Central Huijin [1]. - Asset shortage and weak economy benefit bond futures, but the central bank warns of interest - rate risks, and the Bank of Japan's interest - rate decision should be watched [1]. Metals Non - ferrous Metals - Copper: The price has further increased due to weak industry fundamentals but positive macro sentiment and continuous premium. However, short - term adjustment risks should be guarded against, and the upward trend is expected to continue [1]. - Aluminum: Domestic electrolytic aluminum has accumulated inventory, but positive macro sentiment and the early fermentation of supply - tightness expectations are likely to keep the price strong [1]. - Alumina: The supply side has a large release space, and the weak industry fundamentals put pressure on the price. However, the current price is near the cost line, so it is expected to oscillate [1]. - Zinc: The fundamentals have improved, the cost center has moved up, recent negative factors have been mostly realized, and market sentiment is volatile, leading to price oscillations [1]. - Nickel: Positive macro sentiment, concerns about supply due to Indonesian events, slow inventory accumulation, and unconfirmed Indonesian policies are likely to keep the short - term price strong. It is recommended to go long at low prices and control risks [1]. - Stainless Steel: Positive macro sentiment, concerns about raw - material supply, a rebound in nickel - iron prices, a slight reduction in social inventory, and an increase in January production plans are likely to keep the short - term futures price strong. It is recommended to go long at low prices, and enterprises should wait for opportunities to sell and hedge [1]. - Tin: The industry association's initiative has put pressure on the price, but considering the tense situation in Congo - Kinshasa, the supply may still be affected. After a short - term decline, the downward space is limited, and low - long opportunities near the support level are recommended [1]. - Precious Metals: Geopolitical risks and international - order uncertainties have boosted the demand for hedging, making the price strong in the short - term. However, the high VIX of silver indicates potential risks. Platinum and palladium are expected to fluctuate widely in the short - term, and platinum can be bought at low prices or a [long - platinum short - palladium] arbitrage strategy can be adopted in the long - term [1]. Black Metals - Iron Ore: There is a combination of weak reality (weak direct demand, high supply, and inventory accumulation) and strong expectation (potential supply disturbances from energy - consumption control and anti - involution). The near - month contract is restricted by production cuts, while the far - month contract has upward potential [1]. - Steel (including Rebar): The valuation of the price is not high, and it is not recommended to short. Positions in cash - and - carry arbitrage can take rolling profits [1]. - Glass: Supply and demand are acceptable, and the valuation is low, so the downward space is limited, and it may be under pressure to oscillate [1]. - Soda Ash: It follows the trend of glass, with acceptable supply and demand, low valuation, and limited downward space, and may oscillate under pressure [1]. - Coking Coal: The fourth - round spot price cut has started. After the futures price dropped to the corresponding position and rebounded, attention should be paid to whether it can reach a new low during the implementation of the price cut. There is a high possibility of wide - range oscillations [1]. - Coke: The logic is the same as that of coking coal [1]. Energy and Chemicals - Crude Oil: OPEC + has suspended production increases until the end of 2026, the uncertainty of the Russia - Ukraine peace agreement, and US sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports have an impact on the price [1]. - Fuel Oil: The short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and it follows the trend of crude oil. The probability of the 14th Five - Year Plan's rush - work demand is falsified, the supply of Marey crude oil is sufficient, and the asphalt profit is high [1]. - Asphalt: The cost is strongly supported, the spot - futures price difference is low, and the mid - stream inventory may tend to accumulate [1]. - Rubber: For natural rubber, the mid - stream inventory may tend to accumulate, and the price oscillates. For BR rubber, the futures position has declined, the price increase has slowed down, the processing profit is gradually repaired, it maintains high - level operation in terms of production and inventory, and the spot trading is weak [1]. - PTA: The PX market has experienced a sharp increase, and the domestic PTA maintains high - level operation, benefiting from stable domestic demand and the recovery of exports to India since the end of November [1]. - MEG: Two sets of MEG devices in Taiwan, China, are planned to stop production due to efficiency reasons. The price has rebounded rapidly due to supply - side news, and the downstream polyester operating rate is over 90%, with better - than - expected demand [1]. - Short - fiber: The price continues to fluctuate closely following the cost [1]. - Styrene: The Asian styrene market is generally stable. Suppliers are reluctant to reduce prices due to continuous losses, while buyers keep pressing prices due to weak downstream demand and profit compression. The market is in a weak - balance state, and the short - term upward momentum depends on overseas market drive [1]. - Steam: The upward space is limited due to insufficient domestic demand, but there is support from anti - involution and the cost side [1]. - Propylene: The supply pressure is large, the downstream improvement is less than expected, the cost is strongly supported by high - level propylene monomers and rising crude - oil prices, and there is a risk of rising crude - oil prices due to intensified geopolitical conflicts [1]. - PVC: The global production in 2026 is expected to be low, but currently, new capacity is being released, the supply pressure is increasing, and the demand is weak [1]. - Chlorine: The inventory pressure in Shandong is large, the supply pressure is high due to high - level operation and few overhauls, the non - aluminum demand is in the off - season, and the cost support is weakened by the rising price of liquid chlorine [1]. - LPG: The January CP has risen unexpectedly, providing strong cost - end support. Geopolitical conflicts in the US, Venezuela, and the Middle East have increased the short - term risk premium. The EIA weekly C3 inventory is in an accumulation trend, with a temporary slowdown in overseas demand. The domestic PDH maintains high - level operation but is deeply in deficit, and the overseas olefin blending - oil demand is acceptable [1]. New Energy and Silicon Industry - Polysilicon: There is production increase in the northwest and decrease in the southwest. The December production plan has decreased. A capacity storage platform company has been established, with a long - term expectation of capacity reduction. The terminal installation in the fourth quarter has increased marginally. Large enterprises are willing to support the price but not to deliver. The short - term speculative sentiment is high [1]. - Lithium Carbonate: It is the traditional peak season for new - energy vehicles, the energy - storage demand is strong, the supply - side production resumption has increased, and the price has risen rapidly in the short - term [1]. Agricultural Products - Palm Oil: The MPOB December data is expected to be negative, but it may reverse under themes such as seasonal production reduction, the B50 policy, and US biodiesel. If the price gaps up due to geopolitical events, short - selling can be considered [1]. - Soybean Oil: It follows the trend of other oils in the short - term, and waiting for the January USDA report is recommended [1]. - Rapeseed Oil: News of blocked trader purchases and Australian seed imports has led to a large rebound in the single - side price and the 1 - 5 spread, but it is difficult to change the subsequent loosening of the fundamental situation. A decline in sentiment is expected, and short - selling on rebounds can be considered [1]. - Cotton: The domestic new - crop harvest is expected to be good, but the purchase price of seed cotton supports the cost of lint. The downstream operation rate remains low, but the yarn - mill inventory is not high, with rigid restocking demand. The cotton market is currently in a situation of "having support but no driver", and attention should be paid to factors such as the central government's No. 1 Document in the first quarter of next year, planting - area intentions, weather during the planting period, and peak - season demand [1]. - Sugar: There is a global surplus and a large supply of domestic new - crop sugar, with a strong consensus on short - selling. If the futures price continues to fall, the cost support is strong, but the short - term fundamentals lack continuous driving forces, and attention should be paid to changes in the capital side [1]. - Corn: The grass - roots grain - selling progress is relatively fast, the current port and downstream inventory levels are still low, and most traders have not started strategic inventory building. The spot price is expected to be strong in the short - term, and the futures price is expected to have limited decline and then maintain an oscillating and strengthening trend [1]. - Soybeans: Attention should be paid to the adjustment in the January USDA report and the impact of Brazilian harvest selling pressure on CNF premiums. The M05 contract is expected to be relatively weak, while the M03 - M05 spread is expected to be in a positive - arbitrage situation in the short - term, but caution should be exercised due to potential changes in customs policies, soybean auctions, and directional policies [1]. - Pulp: The 05 contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 5400 - 5700 yuan/ton due to the tug - of - war between "strong supply" and "weak demand" [1]. - Logs: The spot price has shown signs of bottom - rebounding, and the downward space of the futures price is limited. However, the January overseas quotation has slightly declined, and there is a lack of upward - driving factors in the spot - futures market. It is expected to oscillate in the range of 760 - 790 yuan/m³ [1]. Livestock - Hogs: The spot price has gradually stabilized recently, with demand support. The slaughter weight has not been fully cleared, and the production capacity still needs to be further released [1].

Group 1: Swine Breeding Industry - The swine breeding sector is experiencing intensified losses, with a gradual reduction in production capacity beginning to take shape. The report recommends a left-side investment strategy in this area [1] - As of January 4, the national average selling price of external three yuan pigs is 12.44 yuan/kg, reflecting a week-on-week increase of 0.2%. The price rebound before New Year's Day is attributed to reduced market supply and increased consumer demand [1] - The current industry faces a significant supply surplus, with self-breeding sows under 50 heads experiencing a loss of 10.29 yuan per head, while those with 5,000-10,000 heads are making a profit of 28.31 yuan per head. The expectation is for continued price stabilization and losses in breeding operations [1] Group 2: Beef Industry - The introduction of country-specific quotas and additional tariffs on imported beef is expected to alleviate pressure on domestic supply. The new tariff of 55% applies to quantities exceeding the quota and will be in effect for three years [2] - As of December 25, the national price for fattened bulls is 25.47 yuan/kg, showing a week-on-week decrease of 0.24%, while the average price for calves is 31.62 yuan/kg, down 1.34%. The wholesale market average for beef is 65.92 yuan/kg, with a slight decrease of 0.11% [2] Group 3: Poultry Industry - The white feather broiler breeding sector is entering a hatching pause, while downstream prices continue to rise. The average selling price for broiler chicks is 3.37 yuan/chick, down 0.6% week-on-week, while the price for broiler meat has reached a new high of 3.80 yuan/kg, up 4.7% [3] - The average price for chicken meat cuts is 9,663.7 yuan/ton, reflecting a week-on-week increase of 3.2%. The ongoing supply surplus in white chicken is expected to be a key theme for 2025-2026, with a focus on leading companies and long-term value [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - In the pig market, short - term price fluctuations intensify due to supply - demand games, while long - term prices are expected to gradually rise but with limited upside potential. For the egg industry, short - term prices may increase seasonally during the Spring Festival, but long - term supply pressure remains. In the corn market, short - term selling pressure needs to be digested, and long - term prices are supported at the bottom but with limited upward movement [5][61][100]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Pig 3.1.1 Market Review - In December, pig prices first stabilized and then rose. Spot prices increased due to factors like the release of second - fattening and epidemic pigs, and terminal consumption growth. Futures prices also rebounded, with the 03 contract's premium increasing and the basis strengthening. After the New Year's Day stocking ended, slaughter volume declined, and spot prices stagnated and fell [7][10]. 3.1.2 Supply - The inventory of breeding sows is gradually being reduced but remains above the normal level. Pig production performance has improved, and the supply of pigs in the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be high. Pig inventory is slowly increasing, and the proportion of standard and large pigs is rising. The monthly average slaughter weight is at a high level in the same period [11][16][24]. 3.1.3 Demand - In December, the slaughter rate and volume of slaughterhouses increased. After the New Year's Day stocking ended, slaughter volume may decline, but it may increase again in January due to Spring Festival stocking. The frozen product inventory is at a high level, and its support for consumption has weakened, and it may suppress supply before and after the Spring Festival [34][38][41]. 3.1.4 Cost and Profit - Pig prices rebounded in December, and breeding losses narrowed. Feed and piglet prices fluctuated slightly, and the long - term fattening cost remained low [44]. 3.1.5 Policy - The government aims to guide the orderly exit of production capacity and stabilize prices. It requires the top 25 large enterprises to reduce 1 million breeding sows by the end of January, lower the weight, and prohibit second - fattening. The state mainly conducts reserve rotation [50]. 3.1.6 Driving Summary - Short - term: Price fluctuations intensify due to supply - demand games. Long - term: The price in the first half of the year is not optimistic, and the price in the second half of the year is expected to be strong, but the increase is limited [53][54]. 3.1.7 Valuation - Near - term contracts are undervalued, and far - term contracts are neutrally valued [55]. 3.1.8 Strategy - For near - term contracts, adopt a short - selling strategy when prices rebound. For far - term contracts, be cautious about a bullish outlook, and the industry can hedge at a profit [5]. 3.2 Egg 3.2.1 Market Review - In December, egg prices continued to fluctuate at a low level, and the futures price mainly declined, with a slight rebound at the end of the month. The current main contract has a slight premium over the spot, and the basis is at a low level in the same period [67]. 3.2.2 Supply - The number of newly opened - laying hens in January is average. The inventory of laying hens is slowly declining, but the overall supply pressure is still large. In the long - term, the number of newly opened - laying hens from February to May 2026 is expected to decrease, but the supply pressure relief needs time [61][63]. 3.2.3 Demand - In January, as the Spring Festival approaches, demand is expected to improve. The high cost - performance of eggs also drives substitution demand [63]. 3.2.4 Driving Summary - Short - term: Egg prices are expected to rise during the Spring Festival, but the increase is limited due to sufficient supply. Long - term: Supply pressure is expected to gradually ease, but it takes time, and attention should be paid to culling and external factors [91][92]. 3.2.5 Valuation - The current basis is low, and the overall valuation is high [94]. 3.2.6 Strategy - Do not short the market in the short - term. Wait for the spot price to rise less than expected and then hedge the 02 and 03 contracts after the Spring Festival [63]. 3.3 Corn 3.3.1 Market Review - In December, corn prices rose and fell alternately. The spot price had strong support at the bottom, and the futures price first fell and then rose. The current main contract has a discount to the spot, and the basis is at a high level in the same period [100][101][104]. 3.3.2 Supply - The national grain sales progress is 45%, and the supply in the producing areas has slowed down. The import of corn in November increased, and the inventory in the north and south ports changed. The 2025/2026 corn supply is expected to be in balance with demand, with limited upward price space [100][105][107]. 3.3.3 Demand - The high inventory of pigs and poultry supports the rigid demand for feed. However, if the corn price continues to rise, the demand for wheat as a substitute may increase. The deep - processing demand is limited due to low profits and high product inventory [100][115][126]. 3.3.4 Driving Summary - Short - term: There is still selling pressure to be released. Long - term: The cost has strong support, but the supply - demand pattern is relatively loose, limiting the upward space [100]. 3.3.5 Valuation - The futures price is at a relatively low level, and the basis is at a high level in the same period, with a neutral - low valuation [135]. 3.3.6 Strategy - Be cautious about chasing high in the short - term, and grain - holding entities can hedge when prices rebound. In the long - term, the demand will gradually be released, but the increase is limited [100].

Group 1: Overall Market Situation - The performance of overseas markets was strong during the holiday, but the geopolitical situation change on Saturday increased the uncertainty of the post - holiday risk - asset trend. Short - term attention should be paid to the impact of overseas events on the risk appetite of domestic equity assets [1] Group 2: Fixed - Income Market - Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has recently warned of interest - rate risks. Attention should be paid to the Bank of Japan's interest - rate decision [1] Group 3: Non - Ferrous Metals Copper - The industrial situation is weak recently, but the macro sentiment is positive, and the premium of US copper persists, so the copper price has further increased. However, there is a short - term adjustment risk, though the trend is expected to remain unchanged [1] Aluminum - Domestic electrolytic aluminum has accumulated inventory recently, and the industrial driving force is limited. But with positive macro sentiment and the early fermentation of the expected tight supply of aluminum ingots, the aluminum price is expected to remain strong [1] Alumina - The supply side of alumina still has a large release space, and the weak industry pressures the price. But the current price is basically near the cost line, so the price is expected to fluctuate [1] Zinc - The fundamentals of zinc have improved, the cost center has shifted up, and recent negative factors have basically materialized. Market sentiment is volatile, and the zinc price fluctuates [1] Nickel - The macro sentiment has warmed up. News about Indonesia has further boosted market concerns about nickel - ore supply. The global nickel - inventory accumulation speed has slowed down, and the Shanghai nickel price has risen significantly recently with increased positions. The short - term nickel price may be strong, and attention should be paid to Indonesia's policies and macro sentiment. Short - term low - buying is recommended, and excessive chasing of highs should be avoided [1] Stainless Steel - The raw - material nickel - iron price has rebounded, the social inventory of stainless steel has slightly decreased, and steel mills' production in January has increased. The short - term stainless - steel futures are expected to be strong and volatile. Short - term low - buying is recommended, and enterprises should wait for opportunities to sell on rallies [1] Tin - The non - ferrous tin industry association issued an initiative to guide the price back to the normal range, pressuring the tin price. Considering the tense situation in Congo - Kinshasa, there may be further fermentation of tin supply. After a short - term adjustment, the downside space is limited, and low - buying opportunities near the support level are recommended [1] Group 4: Precious Metals and New Energy Precious Metals - The geopolitical situation is tense, and precious - metal prices are still supported, but the VIX of Shanghai silver is still high, and there may still be short - term games. In the long run, the logic of precious metals remains unchanged. Based on the fact that silver may no longer be undervalued compared with gold, priority should be given to low - buying gold in the future [1] Platinum and Palladium - During the New Year's Day holiday, the prices of platinum and palladium in the overseas market rose significantly, which is expected to boost domestic prices. But in the short term, they may still have high volatility. In the medium - to - long term, there is a supply - demand gap for platinum, while palladium tends to have a loose supply. Platinum can be bought on dips or a [long platinum, short palladium] arbitrage strategy can be adopted [1] Industrial Silicon - In the northwest, production increases, while in the southwest, it decreases. The production schedules of polysilicon and organic silicon decreased in December. A capacity storage platform company has been established, and there is a medium - to - long - term expectation of capacity reduction. Terminal installations increased marginally in the fourth quarter. Large enterprises have a strong willingness to support prices and a low willingness to deliver. Short - term speculative sentiment is high [1] Lithium Carbonate - It is the traditional peak season for new energy vehicles, and the demand for energy storage is strong. The supply side has increased production resumption, and there is a short - term rapid increase. Rolling profit - taking of long - spot and short - futures positions can be carried out. The basis and production profit are not high, indicating that the price valuation is not high, and short - selling is not recommended [1] Group 5: Steel and Iron - Related Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil - Rolling profit - taking of long - spot and short - futures positions can be carried out. The basis and production profit are not high, indicating that the price valuation is not high, and short - selling is not recommended [1] Iron Ore - The near - month contracts are restricted by production cuts, but the commodity sentiment is good, and the far - month contracts still have upward opportunities [1] Ferrous Metals (General) - There is a combination of weak reality and strong expectation. In reality, direct demand is weak, supply is high, inventory is accumulating, and the price is under pressure. In expectation, energy - consumption dual control and anti - involution may disrupt supply [1] Group 6: Building Materials Glass - The supply and demand are supported, the valuation is low, and there are renewed supply disruptions. The price is expected to be strong in the short term [1] Soda Ash - It follows the trend of glass. The supply and demand are acceptable, the valuation is low, the downward space is limited, and it may be under pressure and fluctuate [1] Coking Coal and Coke - The fourth round of spot price cuts has started. After the futures price fell to the level of the fourth - round cut and then rebounded, attention should be paid to whether the futures price can reach a new low during the period from the price - cut announcement to implementation. If the price - cut negative factors cannot drive continuous decline, the futures price is likely to continue to fluctuate widely [1] Group 7: Agricultural Products Palm Oil - The MPOB December data is expected to be negative for palm oil, but it will reverse under themes such as seasonal production cuts, the B50 policy, and US biodiesel. If the oil price gaps up due to geopolitical events, short - selling can be considered [1] Soybean Oil - It follows the trend of other oils in the short term. Waiting for the January USDA report is recommended [1] Rapeseed Oil - Recent news has brought a large rebound to the rapeseed - oil price and the January - May spread, but it is difficult to change the subsequent marginal loosening of the fundamentals. A rebound in sentiment is expected to subside, and short - selling on rallies is recommended [1] Cotton - There is a strong expectation of a domestic new - crop harvest, and the purchase price of seed cotton supports the cost of lint. The downstream operation rate remains low, but the yarn - mill inventory is not high, and there is a rigid restocking demand. The cotton market is currently in a situation of "having support but no driver." Future attention should be paid to the tone of the No. 1 Central Document in the first quarter of next year regarding direct - subsidy prices and cotton - planting areas, the intention of next year's cotton - planting area, weather during the planting period, and the peak - season demand from March to April [1] Sugar - Currently, there is a global sugar surplus, and the domestic new - crop supply has increased. The short - selling consensus is relatively consistent. If the futures price continues to fall, the cost support below is strong, but the short - term fundamentals lack continuous drivers. Attention should be paid to changes in the capital side [1] Corn - The progress of grassroots grain sales of corn is relatively fast. Currently, the inventory levels at ports and downstream are still low, and most traders have not started strategic inventory building. It is expected that the spot price will remain strong in the short term under the restocking demand of the middle and lower reaches, and the futures price is expected to have limited回调 and remain strong and fluctuate later [1] Soybean Meal - Attention should be paid to the adjustment of the January USDA report and the manifestation of Brazil's harvest selling pressure on CNF premiums. The M05 contract is expected to be relatively weak. In the first quarter, the concentrated ownership of imported - soybean cargo rights will bring a domestic supply - structure problem, which supports the M03 contract. The M03 - M05 spread is still expected to be in a positive - arbitrage situation in the short term. Attention should be paid to changes in customs policies, imported - soybean auctions, and targeted policies [1] Pulp - Pulp futures have recently been pulled by the "weak demand" reality and the "strong supply" expectation, with large fluctuations. A wait - and - see approach for single - side trading is recommended, and a January - May reverse - arbitrage strategy can be considered for the spread [1] Logs - Log futures have declined due to the decline in overseas quotes and spot prices. The pressure on the 01 contract is large as it approaches the delivery month, and it is expected to fluctuate weakly [1] Hogs - The spot price has gradually stabilized recently. Supported by demand and with the unsold weight of slaughtered hogs still remaining, the production capacity still needs to be further released [1] Group 8: Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - There is a risk of oil - price increase due to the conflict between the US and Venezuela. There are fewer maintenance activities, the operating load is high, there are overseas arrivals, and the supply has increased. The downstream demand and operation rate have weakened. In 2026, there will be more new production, further intensifying the supply - demand surplus, and the market expectation is weak [1] Fuel Oil - OPEC+ has suspended production increases until the end of 2026, the uncertainty of the Russia - Ukraine peace agreement has an impact, and the US has sanctioned Venezuelan oil exports [1] Asphalt - The short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and it follows the trend of crude oil. The "14th Five - Year Plan" rush - work demand is likely to be disproven, the supply of Ma - Rui crude oil is sufficient, and the asphalt profit is high [1] Natural Rubber - The raw - material cost has strong support, the basis is at a low level, and the middle - stream inventory may tend to accumulate [1] BR Rubber - The futures positions have decreased, and the price increase has slowed down. The listing prices of BD/BR have shifted up, and the processing profit of butadiene rubber has gradually recovered. Butadiene rubber maintains high - operation and high - inventory operation, and the spot trading has weakened with general order demand [1] PTA - The PX price is strong, and the floating spread has strengthened. The PTA plants generally maintain a high - load operation, and PX consumption remains stable. Polyester pre - holiday stock - building and sales have improved. The new polyester plants' commissioning has pushed the polyester load to a high level, and PTA consumption remains high [1] Ethylene Glycol (MEG) - It is reported that two MEG plants in Taiwan, China, with a total annual capacity of 720,000 tons, plan to shut down next month due to poor efficiency. During the continuous decline of ethylene glycol, it rebounded rapidly due to supply - side news. Currently, the downstream operation rate of polyester remains above 91%, the demand performance slightly exceeds expectations, and the recent overall polyester sales are relatively high [1] Short - Fiber - The short - fiber price continues to closely follow the cost fluctuations [1] Styrene - The Asian styrene price rebounded briefly after continuous monthly declines, mainly driven by supply - side contraction. Many plants have reduced production or shut down due to maintenance or poor economics. The demand for polymer downstream products such as PS and ABS remains weak. The warming of the commodity - market sentiment has significantly boosted the styrene futures price [1] Urea - The export sentiment has eased slightly, and the limited domestic demand restricts the upside space. There is support from anti - involution and the cost side [1] PE - There are fewer maintenance activities, the operating load is high, and the supply pressure is large. The downstream improvement is less than expected. The propylene monomer price is high, the crude - oil price has risen, and the cost support is strong. There is a risk of oil - price increase due to the US - Venezuela conflict [1] PVC - In 2026, there will be less global new production, and the future expectation is optimistic. There will be fewer subsequent maintenance activities, new production capacity will be released, and the supply pressure will increase. The demand has weakened, and orders are poor [1] LPG - The January CP has risen more than expected, providing strong cost - side support for imported gas. The geopolitical conflicts between the US and Venezuela and in the Middle East have intensified, and the short - term risk premium has increased. The EIA weekly C3 inventory has continued to accumulate, and overseas demand has slowed down periodically. Domestic PDH maintains high - operation and deep - loss operation, with only the rigid demand for civil combustion, and there is overseas olefin - blending demand for oil [1] Group 9: Shipping Container Shipping (European Route) - The price increase in December did not meet expectations, the expectation of peak - season price increase was priced in advance, and the shipping capacity supply in December was relatively loose [1]
