By the end of December 2025, the cumulative sugar production in Guangdong was 86,600 tons (compared to 116,300 tons in the same period last year), with a sugar yield of 8.72% (compared to 9.397% last year). The price of sulfured sugar of Guangdong Jinling in the 25/26 crushing season was 5,310 yuan/ton, and carbonated sugar was 5,550 yuan/ton (an increase of 10 yuan/ton in the afternoon). On January 5, the sugar futures market fluctuated and closed higher. The spot price of sugar in the main producing areas was basically stable in the afternoon, but the secondary quotes of Nanhua and Yingmao were raised by 10 yuan/ton, and the overall trading volume was average. As of December 31, 2025, India's sugar production in the 2025/26 crushing season reached 1.1897 million tons, a nearly 25% increase compared to the same period last year; 504 sugar mills had started production, 12 more than the same period last year [4][5][7]. - **Logical Analysis**: Internationally, Brazilian sugarcane is expected to gradually enter the end of the crushing season. The cumulative sugar production in the central - southern region of Brazil was 39.904 million tons, an increase of 543,000 tons compared to the same period last year. The supply pressure of Brazilian sugar will gradually ease, and the market focus has shifted to the Northern Hemisphere. Most sugar production in the Northern Hemisphere is in an increasing cycle, but the final realization of the production increase may affect the market trend. In the short - term, the US sugar price is technically building a bottom, but there is a lack of upward driving force. Domestically, the current sugar price is low, in the low - price range over the years. After the previous unexpected decline, the short - covering market has been repaired. The high processing cost of domestic sugar (most sugar mills in Guangxi have a cost of over 5,400 yuan/ton) provides some support for the market. The upward trend of the US sugar price on the external market has an upward driving effect on Zhengzhou sugar. However, considering that China is in the peak sugar - crushing season and there is still some sales pressure, and the global sugar production is expected to increase in the 25/26 season, the sugar price is expected to face significant pressure near the upper oscillation platform. In the short - term, the price is expected to oscillate [8]. 3.3 Trading Strategies - **Unilateral**: International sugar prices are expected to oscillate at the bottom in the short - term, and domestic sugar is expected to show an oscillatory trend [9]. - **Arbitrage**: Adopt a wait - and - see approach [10]. - **Options**: Sell put options [10]. 3.4 Related Attachments - The report provides multiple charts showing data on monthly inventory, monthly output, spot prices, basis, and price spreads of sugar in Guangxi and Yunnan, with data sources from Galaxy Futures and WIND [12][13][16][18][20][23].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - Internationally, with Brazil approaching its supply peak, global sugar inventories are expected to enter an accumulation phase. The selling pressure after the new Brazilian sugar - cane crushing season has started will drag down the raw sugar price center. The expected increase in Brazilian production and the expected increase in sugar production in the Northern Hemisphere's new season will suppress the raw sugar price. Domestically, the fast sales - to - production ratio may support the sugar price, but the large - scale entry of imported sugar into the domestic market may drag down the sugar price. Considering the recent weak trend of raw sugar, the sugar price will maintain a weak operation in the short term [4]. - Raw sugar is expected to maintain a weak and oscillating trend in the short term due to the expected global supply - demand surplus, but there may be buying support at lower levels. In China, the faster - than - expected sales - to - production ratio supports the spot price, but due to the short - term weakness of raw sugar, the rising profit of out - of - quota imports, and the upcoming pressure of processed sugar supply, Zhengzhou sugar futures are expected to follow the raw sugar price passively [5]. 3.

The new Brazilian crushing season's selling pressure and production increase expectations, along with the expected increase in the Northern Hemisphere's new - season production, will suppress the raw sugar price. Attention should be paid to Brazil's production progress and actual production increase [4]. - **Domestic**: The fast sales - to - production ratio supports the sugar price, but the large - scale entry of imported sugar and the weak raw sugar trend will drag down the domestic sugar price in the short term [4]. 3.3 Trading Strategies - **Single - side Trading**: Zhengzhou sugar futures will mainly follow the raw sugar price and maintain an oscillating trend in the short term [6]. - **Arbitrage**: Adopt a wait - and - see approach [7]. - **Options**: Use out - of - the - money ratio spread options [10].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an industry investment rating [3][4] 2. Core View - Zheng sugar is expected to maintain a weak and volatile trend due to factors such as the expected increase in global sugar supply, upcoming imports in China, and the impact of low - cost substitutes [4] 3. Summary by Related Content Price Data - On June 16, 2025, the spot price of sugar in Nanning, Guangxi was 6130 yuan/ton, in Kunming was 5835 yuan/ton, in Dali, Yunnan was 5780 yuan/ton, and in Rizhao, Shandong was 6185 yuan/ton [4] - SR09 futures price was 5667 yuan/ton with an increase of 3 yuan, and SR01 was 5539 yuan/ton with an increase of 6 yuan [4] - The exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar was 7.2035 with an increase of 0.0040, the exchange rate of the Brazilian real against the RMB was 1.2818 with an increase of 0.0212, and the exchange rate of the Indian rupee against the RMB was 0.084 with a decrease of 0.0004 [4] - The price of ICE raw sugar's main contract was 16.54, the price of London white sugar's main contract was 573 with an increase of 3, and the price of Brent crude oil's main contract was 75.18 [4] Supply and Demand Analysis - The sugarcane crushing volume in the central - southern part of Brazil in the second half of April 2025 increased year - on - year, and the sugar - making ratio remained high. The expected sugar production in the 25/26 crushing season may reach 42 million tons, indicating a strong global supply - surplus pattern [4] - The previous drop of ICE raw sugar below 18 cents per pound triggered Chinese sugar purchases. The near - month purchase volume exceeded one million tons, and imported sugar is expected to arrive in China from mid - to - late June, increasing supply pressure in the third quarter [4] - The cost of imported sugar from Brazil after out - of - quota was reduced to 5980 yuan/ton, and the price difference with domestic spot prices narrowed to 150 yuan/ton, which stimulated subsequent purchases [4] - From January to March, the import of syrups and premixes was 242,000 tons (equivalent to about 156,000 tons of sugar), and low - cost substitutes continued to squeeze the consumption space of domestic - produced sugar [4]
