Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Sugar**: The ISO has raised the expected global sugar surplus for the 25/26 season. Brazil's sugar exports in the first three weeks of November increased year - on - year. India's sugar production is clear, with an export quota lower than market expectations and domestic prices higher than overseas, making exports less likely. China's sugar imports in October increased year - on - year. Zhengzhou sugar futures had a corrective rebound but the weak situation remains unchanged [3]. - **Cotton**: The current domestic cotton supply pressure is gradually increasing, but downstream demand has resilience. Attention should be paid to the hedging pressure around 13,600 - 13,800 and subsequent order changes [13]. - **Apple**: The ground trading of new - season late Fuji apples is gradually ending, concentrated in Shandong and Shanxi. The warehousing work is in the later stage. In ground trading, Shandong's Qixia and Zhaoyuan have not completed all the fruit picking, with many buyers. In terms of warehousing progress, Gansu's cold - storage apples have started to be sold, Shaanxi's warehousing is almost finished, and Shandong's apples will gradually be out of storage next week. Recently, small apples are selling well [16]. - **Jujube**: The new - season jujubes are about to enter the concentrated picking stage. The current new - season yield is still the core point of market game. The southern Xinjiang region has a yield reduction, but the extent is hard to determine. Affected by factors such as moisture and single - jujube weight, farmers' yield estimates may be inaccurate. In the short term, jujube prices fluctuate greatly due to capital game, but with the yield reduction and the start of the acquisition season, the downside space may be limited. Attention should be paid to the subsequent commodity rate and acquisition situation of new jujubes [25]. 3.

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Date: November 11, 2025 [1] - Report Author: Xu Liang (Z0002220), Reviewed by Tang Yun (Z0002422) [2] Group 2: Sugar Market Core View - International ICE raw sugar rose to 14.26 cents/pound due to the expected end of the US government shutdown and high domestic prices in India suppressing exports, but there is a long - term pressure of a 2.8 million - ton global sugar surplus in the 2025/26 season. In the domestic market, new sugar quotes are firm and old sugar inventory clearance support the futures prices, but the expected increase in production, off - season consumption, and sufficient supply limit the upside. The market is watching the breakthrough of the 5,500 yuan/ton resistance level [3]. Price and Spread - Sugar futures prices: SR01 closed at 5,480 yuan/ton with a daily increase of 0.09% and a weekly decrease of 0.02%; SR03 at 5,442 yuan/ton (0.18% daily, - 0.24% weekly); SR05 at 5,411 yuan/ton (0.11% daily, - 0.37% weekly); SR07 at 5,410 yuan/ton (0.13% daily, - 0.4% weekly); SR09 at 5,404 yuan/ton (0.02% daily, - 0.57% weekly); SR11 at 5,470 yuan/ton (1.11% daily, 1.03% weekly); SB at 14.26 cents/pound (0.92% daily, 0.35% weekly); W at 409.3 (0.84% daily, 0.74% weekly) [4]. - Sugar price spreads: SR01 - 05 was 70 (up 10 daily, 4 weekly); SR05 - 09 was 2 (up 3 daily, 3 weekly); SR09 - 01 was - 72 (down 13 daily, 7 weekly); SR01 - 03 was 43 (up 6 daily, 4 weekly); SR03 - 05 was 27 (up 4 daily, 0 weekly); SR05 - 07 was 2 (0 daily, down 2 weekly); SR07 - 09 was 0 (up 3 daily, 5 weekly); SR09 - 11 was - 7 (down 5 daily, 71 weekly); SR11 - 01 was - 65 (down 8 daily, 64 weekly) [4]. Basis - Nanning - SR01 basis was 285 (down 18 daily, up 34 weekly); Nanning - SR03 was 328 (down 12 daily, up 38 weekly); Nanning - SR05 was 355 (down 8 daily, up 38 weekly); Nanning - SR07 was 357 (down 8 daily, up 36 weekly); Nanning - SR09 was 357 (down 5 daily, up 41 weekly); Nanning - SR11 was 350 (down 10 daily, down 30 weekly).

Import Price and Profit - Brazilian import price: Quota - within was 3,947 yuan/ton (down 20 daily, 59 weekly), over - quota was 4,996 yuan/ton (down 26 daily, 77 weekly). Thai import price: Quota - within was 4,002 yuan/ton (down 21 daily, 69 weekly), over - quota was 5,068 yuan/ton (down 27 daily, 90 weekly) [14]. Group 3: Cotton Market Core View - In the short - term, market sentiment may improve due to China - US trade consultations. The new cotton production in southern Xinjiang is lower than expected, and the purchase price is relatively firm. However, the overall domestic new cotton production is still high, and downstream demand is mediocre. Cotton prices lack upward momentum and may fluctuate in the short - term. Attention should be paid to the hedging pressure around 13,600 - 13,800 yuan/ton and the subsequent new - season production determination [16]. Price and Spread - Cotton futures prices: Cotton 01 closed at 13,560 yuan/ton (down 20, - 0.15%); Cotton 05 at 13,560 yuan/ton (down 20, - 0.15%); Cotton 09 at 13,735 yuan/ton (down 20, - 0.15%); Cotton yarn 01 at 19,855 yuan/ton (down 10, - 0.05%); Cotton yarn 05 was 0 (down 19,860, - 100%); Cotton yarn 09 was 0 (0, - 100%) [17]. - Cotton price spreads: Cotton basis was 1,282 (up 18); Cotton 01 - 05 was 0 (0); Cotton 05 - 09 was - 175 (0); Cotton 09 - 01 was 175 (0); Cotton - yarn spread was 6,280 (up 15); Domestic - foreign cotton spread was 1,872 (up 100); Domestic - foreign yarn spread was - 616 (0) [17]. Group 4: Apple Market Core View - The ground trading of new - season late Fuji apples is coming to an end, mainly concentrated in Shandong and Shanxi. The cold - storage warehousing work is in the later stage. In Shandong's Qixia and Zhaoyuan, not all apples have been harvested, there are many buyers, and striped apples are on the market. In terms of warehousing progress, cold - storages in Gansu have started to sell, Shaanxi's warehousing is almost finished, and in Qixia's western towns in Shandong, a large amount of farmers' apples are still being warehoused [20]. Price and Spread - Apple futures prices: AP01 closed at 9,229 yuan/ton (0.76% daily, 4.15% weekly); AP03 at 9,132 yuan/ton (0.43% daily, 2.0% weekly); AP04 at 9,211 yuan/ton (0.29% daily, 1.69% weekly); AP05 at 9,289 yuan/ton (0.31% daily, 1.94% weekly); AP10 at 8,389 yuan/ton (0.35% daily, 2.08% weekly); AP11 at 8,875 yuan/ton (0.85% daily, 1.22% weekly); AP12 at 9,179 yuan/ton (0.75% daily, 4.09% weekly) [21]. - Apple price spreads: AP01 - 05 was - 101 (- 7.34% daily, - 72.70% weekly); AP05 - 10 was 900 (4.77% daily, - 18.18% weekly); AP10 - 01 was - 799 (6.53% daily, 9.45% weekly); Main - contract basis was - 352 (28.47% daily, 214.29% weekly) [22]. Group 5: Red Date Market Core View - New - season red dates are about to enter the concentrated harvest stage. The current new - season production is the core point of market game. There is indeed a production reduction in southern Xinjiang, but the reduction amplitude is difficult to determine. Affected by factors such as moisture and single - date weight, farmers' estimates of production are prone to偏差. In the short - term, red date prices fluctuate greatly under capital game. With the start of the purchase season and production reduction, the downside space may be limited. Attention should be paid to the subsequent commodity rate and purchase situation of new dates [26]. Price Spread - Red date futures spreads: Red date 01 - 05 spread, 05 - 09 spread, and 09 - 01 spread data are presented graphically, showing their historical trends from 2021 - 2025 [27][29].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report maintains a short - term view of buying on dips for the red date futures [26]. 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall reduction of first - crop red dates is significant, with less than 20% of sample orchards reaching the normal level, and the number of second - crop flowers has decreased by 35% compared to normal years. The specific fruit - setting quantity of second - crop flowers still needs to wait until around July 20 for a final judgment [23]. - In a year of reduced production, the price of red date futures usually rises rapidly from July to the centralized harvest period, divided into two stages: the game of reduction amplitude and the game of opening price. Currently, the market is mainly gambling on the actual growth of new - season red dates [25]. - Considering the reduction in 2025 compared to the historical high - yield year of 2024, the center of the game for the opening price should rise. Combining with the current CJ601 futures price, a short - term view of buying on dips is maintained [26]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Research Overview - **Research Location**: Main production areas of grey dates in Alar, Aksu, Tumushuke, and Makit [5]. - **Research Time**: From June 22 to June 27, 2025 [6]. - **Research Method**: - **Orchard Selection**: Invite local jujube farmers and agents as guides, randomly select sample orchards along the research route, with a total of 150 orchards covering the main grey - date production areas [6]. - **Judgment Method**: Observe the number and growth of flowers and fruits on the upper, middle, and lower layers of jujube trees from different directions in the orchard, and compare them with normal years to make five - level judgments [6]. 3.2 Regional Research Results - **Alar Region**: Nearly 80% of sample orchards have "few to no" first - crop fruits, and 54% of sample orchards have "few" or "few to no" second - crop flowers and fruits [7]. - **Aksu Region**: About 10% of sample orchards have normal first - crop fruits, 40% are "few", and 50% are "few to no". About 50% of orchards have normal second - crop flowers and fruits, and the overall performance is close to normal. However, the quality of red dates is relatively poor, and the yield rate is low [13]. - **Tumushuke Region**: 77% of sample orchards have "few to no" first - crop fruits, and 59% have "few" second - crop flowers and fruits. There are differences among different regiments, with 44th and 48th regiments performing better [16]. - **Makit Region**: About 70% of sample orchards have first - crop fruit yields lower than normal years. The quantity of second - crop flowers and fruits varies significantly [20]. 3.3 Other Findings - **Weather Impact**: This year's sand - dust weather in southern Xinjiang is significantly more than usual, which affects photosynthesis and pollination. The impact of high - temperature weather may be more significant due to the large specific heat capacity of sand [23]. - **Farmers' Management**: Due to last year's high yields, farmers' management enthusiasm remains high, but the fruit - setting rate of jujube trees with earlier girdling time is better [23]. - **Growth Distribution**: The quantity of flowers and fruits in the middle and lower layers of most jujube trees is significantly less than that in the upper layer, and orchards with larger tree and row spacing have more flowers and fruits [24]. - **Growth Stagnation**: Some jujube farmers reported that the growth of jujube fruits has stagnated, possibly due to the damage to trees caused by last year's high yields and management methods [24].
