Group 2: Core Views - The core contradiction in the sugar market lies in the supply - demand differences between domestic and international markets, resulting in the current pattern of strong domestic and weak international prices [1]. - The pricing of the domestic 01 contract will approach the Guangxi price, and the 05 contract may decline to a very low price due to increased supply pressure [1]. - The international raw sugar price is expected to continue the game around 15.2 cents, with limited upside potential in the near - term [2]. - The long - term structure of Zhengzhou sugar shows a downward trend, with the 05 contract being continuously suppressed by the 10 - day moving average [9]. Group 3: Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Core Contradiction and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradiction - The focus of market trading is the supply - demand difference between domestic and international markets. The key contradictions affecting sugar prices include the final pricing of the domestic 01 and 05 contracts and whether the international market can regain stability at 15 cents [1][2]. - The 01 contract is stronger than the 05 contract because of the higher spot price.
