1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The P2605 contract is expected to fluctuate within a range, with the basis remaining between -50 and +50 yuan/ton. The upward movement is supported by high international oil prices, expected decline in Malaysian inventories, continuous Indian purchases, and strong domestic spot prices. The downward movement is limited by the domestic consumption off - season and the total inventory still at a historical high. The market sentiment is bullish but with increased volatility, and short - term fluctuations depend on the evolution of the Middle East situation, the release of official Malaysian inventory data, and the domestic terminal procurement rhythm [7] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Market - The closing price of the palm oil main contract P2605 for the week was 9,218 yuan/ton, with a weekly increase of 4.99%. The weekly high was 9,248 yuan/ton, and the low was 8,768 yuan/ton. The trading volume was 2.487 million lots, and the open interest was 375,530 lots [2] 3.2 Spot Market - The basis structure was significantly repaired during the week. The discount of the main contract narrowed, and the contango of the near - month contract widened. The basis of the P2605 contract narrowed from -70 yuan/ton in the previous week to -18 yuan/ton, indicating a rapid convergence of the futures - spot price difference. The basis of the near - month contract P2603 widened from 176 yuan/ton to 376 yuan/ton, showing strong support from the spot end [4] 3.3 Influencing Factors - International crude oil prices strengthened: Affected by the escalation of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, Brent crude oil rose sharply, driving up the expectation of biodiesel raw materials. Palm oil, as an important component of biodiesel, received cost - side support [5] - Strong import demand from India: In February, India's palm oil imports increased by 10.1% month - on - month, reaching a six - month high. The expanding price advantage of palm oil compared to soybean oil boosted the purchasing意愿 of refineries [6] - Macro and exchange - rate linkage: The stable RMB exchange rate did not put additional pressure on import costs. Coupled with the enhanced linkage of the international oil and fat market, it pushed up domestic futures prices following the external market [6]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - **Corn**: In the short term, the supply in the front - end trading link is tight, and the concentrated release of replenishment demand in the consumer end drives the price up. The current price fluctuation is dominated by short - term supply - demand mismatch. In the long term, pay attention to import and domestic auction policies due to the supply gap [3]. - **Starch**: This week, the increase in raw material costs drives up the starch price. In the short term, both supply and demand are recovering. In the long term, focus on the downstream consumption rhythm and whether the enterprise inventory will continue to decline after the seasonal peak [3]. - **Sugar**: Internationally, the fundamentals are slightly stronger with India's production cut and ISO's reduction of the global surplus forecast. Crude oil price increase may boost the raw sugar price. Domestically, the market is discussing import policies, with low additional - quota import costs and high spot pressure [6]. - **Cotton**: The low initial inventory offsets most of the output increase. With expanding domestic textile production, good downstream profits, and consumption - promoting policies, cotton demand is expected to improve. The reduction of Xinjiang's planting area in the new season makes cotton suitable for long - term investment [7]. - **Eggs**: The slowdown of chicken culling may be an active decision by farmers, which postpones the supply pressure. Rising feed costs compress the profit margin. Considering the basis structure of 05 and 06 contracts, a near - far month reverse spread strategy is recommended [9]. - **Apples**: The shipping situation in apple - producing areas varies, with the west stronger than the east. In the west, the price of high - quality goods rises, while in the east, the overall shipment is average. The sales in the sales area are stable after the festival, but the arrival volume is low and the shipping slows down [11]. - **Pigs**: The spot market is weakly adjusted. Group supply is abundant, consumption is weak, and capacity reduction is limited. Pay attention to factors such as the change of farmers' selling weight, the expectation of second - fattening, and frozen product storage [11]. 3. Summary by Commodity Corn/Starch - **Price Data**: From March 4 to March 10, the price of corn in Changchun remained at 2230, while in other regions, there were slight changes. The basis of corn increased by 14, and the import profit increased by 28. For starch, the price in Heilongjiang increased by 50, and the basis increased by 50, and the processing profit increased by 17 [2]. - **Analysis**: Short - term price increase is due to supply - demand mismatch, and long - term focus is on policies. For starch, short - term supply and demand are both recovering, and long - term focus is on downstream consumption [3]. Sugar - **Price Data**: From March 4 to March 10, the spot prices in Liuzhou, Nanning, and Kunming decreased by 90, 80, and 50 respectively. The basis decreased by 63, and the import profit decreased [5]. - **Analysis**: International fundamentals are stronger, and domestic market is affected by import policy discussions, with high spot pressure [6]. Cotton/Cotton Yarn - **Price Data**: From March 4 to March 10, the price of 3128 cotton increased by 5. The import profit and other data also had certain changes [7]. - **Analysis**: Low initial inventory and good demand prospects make cotton suitable for long - term investment [7]. Eggs - **Price Data**: From March 4 to March 10, the egg prices in some regions increased slightly, the basis increased by 105, and the prices of substitutes had some changes [9]. - **Analysis**: Slow chicken culling postpones supply pressure, and a near - far month reverse spread strategy is recommended [9]. Apples - **Price Data**: The spot prices of Shandong 80 first - and second - grade and Shaanxi 70 general goods remained unchanged. The national inventory increased by 22, and the inventories in Shandong and Shaanxi decreased [10][11]. - **Analysis**: Shipping situation varies between the east and the west, and the sales in the sales area are stable but slow [11]. Pigs - **Price Data**: From March 4 to March 10, the prices in some regions decreased slightly, and the basis increased by 20 [11]. - **Analysis**: Spot market is weakly adjusted, and pay attention to factors affecting the price rhythm [11].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core View of the Report - The destocking cycle of styrene has ended, and the basis has weakened again. Overseas gasoline crack spreads are weak, reducing the support of overseas gasoline blending for pure benzene.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - In the short term, the concentrated arrival of pure benzene in China has led to a rapid increase in port inventories and a weakening of the basis. The domestic production start - up continues to rise, while the downstream start - up is weak. For styrene, port inventories continue to decline due to export boosts and low domestic start - up, but there is a resumption expectation at the end of November. Recently, the increase in pure benzene inventory and the decrease in styrene inventory are conducive to the short - term expansion of the EB - BZ spread [3] Summary by Directory 1. Pure Benzene and EB's Basis Structure and Inter - period Spreads - Figures include pure benzene's main basis, main futures contract price, main contract basis, spot - M2 paper cargo spread, and the spread between the first and third contracts.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - For pure benzene, port inventory declined slightly. Low开工 rates of downstream styrene, CPL, and adipic acid dragged down demand, leading to a weak port basis. The domestic开工 rate of pure benzene decreased at an accelerating pace, and attention should be paid to the impact of European and American sanctions on Russian oil on refinery loads [3]. - For styrene, there were still short - term maintenance plans, and new device launches such as Jihua and Guangxi Petrochemical had an impact. Downstream开工 changed little, but提货 was average, and the finished product inventory pressure of the three major hard plastics remained high, resulting in continuous port inventory pressure [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Korean petrochemical companies may cut 270 - 370 million tons of naphtha cracking capacity, potentially affecting EB supply more than BZ as Korean styrene accounts for 16% of overseas styrene capacity while Korean cracked pure benzene only accounts for 3.5% of overseas pure benzene capacity [3]. - For pure benzene, port inventory is slightly decreasing from a high level but still at a high absolute level, and the port basis is waiting to strengthen further. Attention should be paid to the inventory pressure in the CPL - PA6 - nylon industry chain and the MDI inventory pressure in the aniline downstream [3]. - For styrene, port inventory is accumulating due to high current operating rates, but there are concentrated maintenance plans in September, which may lead to destocking. The operating rates of EPS and PS in the downstream continue to rise, but inventory has not continued to decline, indicating slow downstream follow - up, and ABS maintains a state of high inventory and low operating rate [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - BZ futures maintain a large premium, reflecting the contango structure of high - inventory pricing. The strong downstream demand for pure benzene has led to a decline in pure benzene port inventory from its high level. However, the supply pressure from South Korea's exports to China and high domestic production have kept the pure benzene processing fee in a weak consolidation. For styrene, the port inventory has further increased, and the EB basis has further declined. Domestic EB maintains high - level production, while the demand is dragged down by the low operation rates of EPS and PS [3]. Summary by Catalog 1.
