Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, the price of the Zhengzhou Sugar 2601 contract rose slightly, with a weekly increase of about 0.24%. The price of the ICE US Sugar March contract also rose, with a weekly increase of about 2.12%, while the international raw sugar spot price was 13.93 cents per pound, down 0.21 cents per pound from last week [5][10][18]. - In the 2025/26 season, India maintains its sugar export policy. In the 2024/25 season, India has exported 800,000 tons of sugar, less than the initially set export quota of 1 million tons. The current raw sugar price has factored in some expectations of Indian sugar exports and Brazil's production increase in the next season, and the price will be adjusted as expectations are revised [5]. - The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China predicts that China's sugar production in the 2025/26 season will be 11.7 million tons, an increase of 500,000 tons from last month's forecast, mainly due to a slight increase in the national sugar - crop planting area, good growth of southern sugarcane, and a slight increase in the sugar content of northern sugar beets [5]. - Currently, a total of 26 sugar mills in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang have all started production, with a total expected output of 1.4 million tons. Five sugar mills in Yunnan have started production, and the old - sugar stocks in Guangxi are basically cleared. The delay in the start of production in Guangxi puts some pressure on the spot market, while the processing sugar has little intention to reduce prices, providing support at the lower end [5]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - International sugar market: Brazil's sugar production is strong, and the sugar production in the northern hemisphere, especially in India, is expected to increase significantly, with a possible rise in exports that could drag down sugar prices. However, Brazil's strong export data in October provides support to the market and may limit price declines [5]. - Domestic sugar market: The domestic sugar market is oscillating at a low level, supported by cost expectations and stricter policies on the control of syrup and pre - mixed powder. Currently, the Zhengzhou sugar futures price is slightly undervalued compared to the spot price and cost, but it is still higher than the dynamic cost of out - of - quota imported sugar. The upcoming start of sugar production in southern China may bring phased supply pressure [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 This Week's Market Spot and Spread Data Tracking and Display - **Spot price and basis in production areas**: The spot market mainly trades sugar from the 2024/25 crushing season, with relatively high prices. Newly - listed beet sugar is slightly cheaper than old sugar, and trading volume is low. Attention should be paid to the listing rhythm and price changes of new sugar in Guangxi [11]. - **Inter - month spreads**: The 1 - 5 spread is expected to oscillate weakly in the short term [4]. - **Domestic and foreign spreads**: Due to low import costs, the processing profit margin of out - of - quota imported sugar is evident, and the in - quota import profit is substantial, exceeding 1,000 yuan [18]. 3.2 Overview of Key Market Data 3.2.1 International Market - **Brazil**: Brazil's sugar production decreased on a two - week basis, but the sugar - to - cane ratio is high, and the cumulative sugar production exceeds market expectations. In October, Brazil's sugar exports increased significantly, but the appreciation of the real is unfavorable for exports. Thailand and India are about to start production, and expected production increases will bring pressure to the market [22][28][31]. 3.2.2 Domestic Market - **Production and consumption expectations**: China's sugar production is expected to increase, and consumption is expected to rise slightly. The October supply - demand report made no adjustments, but the impact of typhoons in southern sugar - cane producing areas from September to October should be noted [35][37]. - **Production and sales data in Guangxi and Yunnan**: The production and sales data in Guangxi and Yunnan are turning bearish. The destocking speed in Yunnan has slowed down, and the import volume of sugar in China has increased, with the September import volume still expected to be higher year - on - year [39][41]. - **Import of syrup and pre - mixed powder**: Due to stricter policy control, the import of syrup and pre - mixed powder in China is expected to decrease [43]. - **Downstream demand**: Downstream demand is not bad but not outstanding either, and the downstream market lacks sufficient stimulation [46][49].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - International sugar prices are expected to be under pressure due to the global sugar market's expectation of a bumper harvest in the new season. The ISO has raised its estimate of the global sugar shortage in the 2024/25 season to 5.47 million tons, while Datagro predicts a global sugar surplus of 1.53 million tons in the 2025/26 season [7][9] - The price of raw sugar has recently declined due to the expectation of increased global supply, and the price center has shifted downward. Domestically, the summer stocking demand is lagging, and the short - term weakness of raw sugar has led to a rise in the profit of out - of - quota imports. The supply pressure of processed sugar is about to materialize, and Zhengzhou sugar is expected to passively follow the price fluctuations of raw sugar in the short term [4] - Considering that Brazil is about to enter the peak supply period, the global sugar inventory is expected to start accumulating. Raw sugar is expected to maintain a volatile trend overall, and the short - term price will be affected by phased production data. In the domestic market, the fast sales - to - production ratio is expected to support sugar prices, but the large - scale entry of imported sugar into the domestic market may drag down sugar prices. Coupled with the recent weak trend of raw sugar, domestic sugar prices are expected to remain weak in the short term [3] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies Comprehensive Analysis - Internationally, with Brazil approaching the supply peak, global sugar inventory is expected to accumulate, and raw sugar will likely oscillate. Short - term price movements will be influenced by production data, and attention should be paid to Brazil's production progress and actual production increase [3] - Domestically, the fast sales - to - production ratio supports sugar prices, but the influx of imported sugar may pull prices down. Combined with the weak raw sugar trend, short - term domestic sugar prices will be weak [3] Trading Strategies - Unilateral trading: Be bearish on the market [5] - Arbitrage: Adopt a wait - and - see approach [5] - Options: Use out - of - the - money ratio spread options [5] 2. Core Logic Analysis - The expectation of increased global sugar supply has dragged down raw sugar prices, and the domestic summer stocking demand lag, along with the weak raw sugar, has led to higher out - of - quota import profits and impending processed sugar supply pressure, causing Zhengzhou sugar to follow raw sugar prices [4] 3. Weekly Data Tracking International Data - Brazil: In the second half of May, sugar production in the central - southern region increased by 8.86% year - on - year.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Views of the Report - International sugar prices are expected to be under pressure due to the expected global sugar surplus in the new season. The ISO has raised its forecast for the global sugar shortage in the 2024/25 season, but Datagro expects a surplus in the 2025/26 season [7][9]. - Brazilian sugar production is expected to increase, but exports in May decreased compared to the same period last year. The number of ships waiting to load sugar at Brazilian ports and the quantity of sugar waiting for shipment have also decreased [10][18][20]. - In India, the 2024/25 season's ending sugar inventory is sufficient to meet domestic demand, and the sugar price is stable. The 2025/26 season is expected to see a strong recovery in sugar production [21]. - In China, the 2024/25 sugar production has ended, with an increase in both production and sales. The 2025/26 season's supply and demand forecast remains unchanged, and the current growing conditions for sugarcane and beets are favorable [24]. - The short - term sugar price is expected to be weak. Domestically, the fast sales pace may support the price, but the upcoming large - scale import of sugar may drag it down. Internationally, the approaching supply peak in Brazil and the weak recent performance of raw sugar also contribute to the weak outlook [3][4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Comprehensive Analysis** - Internationally, with Brazil approaching the supply peak, the global sugar inventory is expected to start accumulating. Raw sugar is expected to fluctuate, and its short - term trend will be affected by production data. Attention should be paid to Brazil's production progress and actual increase [3]. - Domestically, the fast sales pace may support the sugar price, but the large - scale import of sugar and the weak recent performance of raw sugar may lead to a short - term weakening of the sugar price [3]. - **Logic Analysis** - Raw sugar prices have declined due to the expected high yield in Brazil. Future weather changes may affect the sugarcane crushing progress and raw sugar supply. In China, the delayed summer stocking demand and the weak short - term performance of raw sugar are expected to keep Zhengzhou sugar prices weak [4]. - **Trading Strategies** - Unilateral: Bearish view. - Arbitrage: Wait and see. - Options: Out - of - the - money ratio spread options [5]. 3.2 Core Logic Analysis - The expected high yield in the global sugar market's new season is putting pressure on sugar prices.
