Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the text Group 2: Core View of the Report - The supply of new cotton is increasing significantly this year, but the expected increase may be less than previously thought. The demand side is in a relatively off - season after the peak season, and orders have been average recently. However, previous negative factors have been mostly reflected in the market. It is expected that Zhengzhou cotton will likely fluctuate within a limited range [6]. - The overall atmosphere in the cotton yarn industry is weakening, with the price of pure - cotton yarn remaining stable, and some large manufacturers offering price promotions. The overall startup rate has not changed much, but inventory has increased. If there is no significant improvement in new orders, the yarn price may decline further. Attention should be paid to the trend of Zhengzhou cotton and downstream terminal demand [10]. Group 3: Summary of Each Section 1.

The quarterly deliverable ratio continues to rise. In the week of October 16, the weekly signing volume of 2025/26 U.S. upland cotton was 39,800 tons, a 11% weekly increase and a 5% increase compared to the average of the previous four weeks; the weekly signing volume of 2026/27 U.S. upland cotton was 6,100 tons; the weekly shipment volume of 2025/26 U.S. upland cotton was 36,200 tons, a 15% weekly increase and a 1% increase compared to the average of the previous four weeks [4]. - **Trading Logic**: In November, with the large - scale listing of new cotton, there may be some selling - hedging pressure in the market. Although this year's cotton production is a bumper harvest, the expected increase may be less than previously thought. On the demand side, after the peak season, the market enters a relative off - season. Overall, the large - scale listing of new cotton on the supply side and a significant increase in production this year but a possible smaller - than - expected increase; on the demand side, recent orders have been average, but previous negative factors have been mostly reflected in the market. It is expected that Zhengzhou cotton will likely fluctuate within a limited range [6]. - **Trading Strategy**: For single - sided trading, it is expected that the future trend of U.S. cotton will likely be range - bound, and Zhengzhou cotton is expected to fluctuate. For arbitrage and options, the recommendation is to wait and see [8][9][10]. - **Cotton Yarn Industry News**: Zhengzhou cotton continues to fluctuate strongly. Although there is some resilience in recent demand, the overall atmosphere is weakening. The price of pure - cotton yarn remains stable, and some large manufacturers have carried out price promotions. The overall startup rate has not changed much, but inventory has increased. The rise in Zhengzhou cotton has gradually weakened the cash flow of spinning enterprises, and combined with year - end bank repayment, supplier settlement, and worker wage payment, enterprises are under great pressure. If there is no significant improvement in new orders, the yarn price may decline further. Attention should be paid to the trend of Zhengzhou cotton and downstream terminal demand. The rigid demand for all - cotton clothing grey fabric is weak, and both the volume and price are expected to decline further. The grey fabric market has low popularity and insufficient confidence, mainly due to the decline in demand leading to insufficient factory orders. The price center has shifted downwards, and actual orders can be negotiated. The situation of dyeing factories varies, with better - performing ones having orders that can last about half a month, and those with less business being able to deliver goods in 7 days [10]. 3.
