Group 1: Report Overview - The report is a soft commodity daily report dated November 3, 2025, covering sugar, cotton, apple, and jujube markets [1] Group 2: Sugar Market Core View - The global sugar supply surplus expectation dominates the market sentiment. Brazil's new sugarcane harvest has a clear prospect of increased production due to improved weather, and sugar mills tend to increase the sugar - making ratio due to weak ethanol profits. In China, the new sugar season has a clear increase in production, but the tightening of syrup import control policies provides some support for prices. Attention should be paid to policy rhythm changes under the loose supply - demand pattern [3] Price and Spread - Sugar futures prices: SR01 closed at 5499 with a daily increase of 0.29% and a weekly increase of 0.99%. SB closed at 14.42 with a daily increase of 1.19% and a weekly decrease of 0.35% [4] - Sugar price spreads: SR01 - 05 was 70, unchanged on the day and up 24 for the week [4] - Sugar basis: On October 31, 2025, the basis of Nanning - SR01 was 267, down 11 on the day and 37 for the week [9] - Sugar import prices: On November 3, 2025, the in - quota price of Brazilian sugar imports was 3990, down 25 on the day and 205 for the week; the out - of - quota price was 5052, down 33 on the day and 267 for the week [12] Group 3: Cotton Market Core View - Under short - term China - US trade consultations, market sentiment may improve. The cotton output in southern Xinjiang in the new year is lower than expected, and the new cotton purchase price is relatively firm. However, the overall domestic new cotton output is still high, and downstream demand is weak. The upward momentum of cotton prices is lacking. Attention should be paid to hedging pressure around 13600 - 13800 and the subsequent new - season production determination [14] Price and Spread - Cotton and cotton yarn futures prices: Cotton 01 closed at 13600, up 5 (0.04%); Cotton 05 closed at 13615, up 10 (0.07%); Cotton 09 closed at 13780, up 25 (0.18%) [15] - Cotton and cotton yarn spreads: The cotton basis was 1265, unchanged on the day; the cotton 01 - 05 spread was - 10, unchanged on the day [15] Group 4: Apple Market Core View - The national apple storage is basically completed. This year's national cold - storage estimated storage volume is about 5.5%, 10% lower than last year, with an estimated storage volume of 700 - 780 million tons. Different regions have different storage changes [18] Price and Spread - Apple futures prices: AP01 closed at 9104, down 1.45% on the day and up 1.88% for the week [19] - Apple price spreads: AP01 - 05 was - 347, unchanged on the day and down 44.75% for the week [20] Group 5: Jujube Market Core View - The new - season jujubes are about to enter the concentrated harvesting stage. The current new - season production is still the core point of market game. There are few rotten jujubes this season, but the jujubes may be smaller. Short - term price fluctuations may be large. Attention should be paid to the production determination and commodity rate after the new jujubes are harvested [24] Price and Spread - Jujube futures spreads: The jujube futures spread of 01 - 05 shows certain historical trends in different years [25]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Last week, crude oil showed a trend of rising first and then falling. Trump's extreme pressure on Russia triggered supply concerns and pushed up the geopolitical premium, but the implementation of subsequent measures remains to be observed. In the second half, due to the over - rise correction of the market, the non - farm payrolls data in the US falling short of expectations and the downward revision of the previous value, the fear of economic recession reignited, the VIX index soared, and the capital flight impacted the market, leading to the decline of crude oil. The result of the OPEC+ meeting was in line with expectations. It will increase production by 547,000 barrels per day in September and end the first - stage production restoration ahead of schedule. The subsequent policy will be discussed at the meeting on September 7. Recently, attention should be paid to the macro - sentiment, tracking the VIX index and the US stocks [4] Market Trends - OPEC+ agreed to continue significant production increases in September and exit the current round of production cuts one year ahead of schedule. Eight member countries of OPEC+ reached a resolution to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day in September through a video conference, marking that the organization completed the current - stage supply restoration plan one year ahead of schedule and fully exited the 2.2 million barrels per day production cut agreement implemented by eight member countries since 2023, including the UAE's additional phased production increase quota. Another voluntary production cut agreement of about 1.66 million barrels per day will be re - evaluated by the end of December. This production increase marks a strategic shift of OPEC and its partners from defending oil prices to releasing production capacity, effectively suppressing the impact of geopolitical tensions and seasonal demand peaks on oil prices [4] - As the oil prices in the Middle East rise, Asia will increase its imports of US WTI crude oil in the fourth quarter. Due to the strong demand for high - sulfur crude oil in Asia, the prices of Dubai crude oil and Murban crude oil, the benchmark prices of Middle Eastern crude oil, have risen this month, narrowing the price difference with the low - sulfur light US WTI crude oil. The WTI arbitrage window for Asia has been wide open in the past week, especially for ships arriving in early November. US crude oil producer Occidental Petroleum has sold WTI crude oil to Japanese refiner Taiyo Oil at a premium of about $3.50 per barrel over the October Dubai crude oil quote for delivery in October [5] - The Iranian foreign minister stated that the US needs to compensate for the losses in the conflict before the nuclear negotiations can restart. Iran has set new conditions for restarting the nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration. The US must compensate Iran for the losses caused during the Iran - Israel conflict last month. Iran will not agree to resume negotiations without addressing these issues [5] - The annual rate of the US core PCE price index in June was 2.8%, higher than the expected 2.70%, and the previous value was revised from 2.70% to 2.8%. The monthly rate of the core PCE price index in June was 0.3%, in line with expectations and higher than the previous value of 0.20%. The overall PCE index including food and energy rose 0.3% month - on - month and 2.6% year - on - year, respectively higher than the market expectations of 0.23% and 2.5%. The personal consumption expenditure price index rose 0.3% month - on - month, pushing the annual rate to 2.6%, the highest level since February. Weak spending is due to the cooling of the labor market. Real disposable income remained flat after falling in May, and wages and salaries hardly increased. The July employment report is expected to show a continued slowdown in recruitment and a slight rise in the unemployment rate. The savings rate remained at 4.5%. After the data was released, the spot gold fluctuated slightly in the short term, and the US dollar index rose slightly in the short term [6] - The total number of US oil rigs in the week ending August 1 was 410, compared with 415 in the previous week.
