Group 1: Report Overview - On October 27, the main contract of log futures decreased with reduced positions, with an intraday decline of over 5% and hitting 780 yuan/cubic meter. The price of 6-meter medium H at Lanshan Port remained unchanged at 800 - 810 yuan/cubic meter, and the foreign quotation was 120 US dollars/JAS with no transactions [2]. Group 2: Reasons for Today's Fluctuation - Information aspect: China imposed counter - measures on the US 301 ship fees on October 14, increasing the whole - ship cost of logs by about 10%, causing the log futures to rise. After the China - US economic and trade consultations on October 25 - 26, the market expected the cancellation of the special port fees, leading to long - position reduction and price decline [3]. - Fundamental aspect: The fundamentals are gradually weakening. Port arrivals are concentrated recently, and traders' active inventory reduction pressures the spot market. The sales of laminated timber have declined, and the price of export - grade timber is under pressure. Also, the foreign quotation of 120 US dollars/UAS is difficult to conclude deals and is expected to be readjusted [3]. Group 3: Fundamental Analysis - The fundamental situation of the log market remains weak, with no clear positive drivers. The peak - season expectation has weakened, port inventory will gradually increase, and the demand is weak with low trader purchasing willingness. After the peak season in mid - fourth quarter, logs may experience seasonal inventory accumulation again [4]. Group 4: Investment Suggestion - The short - term market sentiment is bearish, and the market will return to a weak operation rhythm. Speculative investors are advised to wait and see, and pay attention to the results of subsequent China - US negotiations on port fees [4].
