1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The short - term outlook for the peanut futures market is weak [2] 2. Core Viewpoints - In the spot market, peanut prices initially rose but then fell. The national average price of general - purpose peanuts was 4.15 yuan per catty as of September 11, down 0.07 yuan per catty week - on - week. The price increase in some areas was due to factors such as the end of spring peanut sales by farmers in some regions and the impact of rainy weather on new peanut listing. However, the subsequent increase in the supply of new peanuts from Hebei and other places and weak downstream procurement led to price declines [1]. - In the futures market, the peanut futures rose in the week of September 12.

In late September, peanuts from Hebei, Shandong, and other regions will be listed, bringing phased supply pressure.
