Market Judgment - **Important Information** - In the 2025/26 sugar - crushing season as of January 7, Thailand's cumulative cane crushing volume was 16.9782 million tons, a decrease of 5.765 million tons (25.35%) compared to the same period last year. The sugar content in cane was 11.54%, a decrease of 0.08% compared to the same period last year. The sugar - producing rate was 9.017%, a decrease of 0.209% compared to the same period last year. The sugar production was 1.5309 million tons, a decrease of 0.5673 million tons (27.03%) compared to the same period last year [5] - As of the week of January 7, the number of ships waiting to load sugar at Brazilian ports was 44 (previously 42), and the quantity of sugar waiting to be loaded was 1.5823 million tons (previously 1.417 million tons), a week - on - week increase of 0.1653 million tons (11.66%) [5] - The Indian government announced a 1.5 - million - ton sugar export quota for the 2025 - 26 sugar - crushing season. If a sugar factory does not want to export according to the quota, it can abandon the quota before March 31, 2026. The government will review the export performance of sugar factories after March 31, 2026, and may re - allocate unused quotas [7] - **Logical Analysis** - Internationally, Brazilian cane is gradually entering the harvest stage, and the cumulative sugar production in central and southern Brazil is 39.904 million tons, an increase of 0.543 million 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. India's double - week production is high, and the over - expected increase may have a negative impact on international sugar prices. However, due to the low sugar prices and the strong performance of commodities, the US sugar price is expected to oscillate at the bottom in the short term [8] - Domestically, the current sugar price is low, in the low - price range over the years. After the previous over - expected decline, the short - covering market has been repaired. The high processing cost of domestic sugar (most sugar factories in Guangxi have a cost of over 5,400 yuan/ton) supports the futures market. The upward trend of the US sugar price on the external market has an upward driving force for Zhengzhou sugar. However, considering the peak domestic sugar - pressing season and the expected global sugar production increase in the 2025/26 season, there is significant pressure near the upper oscillation platform [8] - **Trading Strategy** - **Unilateral**: The international sugar price is expected to oscillate at the bottom in the short term, and considering the significant decline in commodities today, the sugar price is expected to oscillate [9] - **Arbitrage**: Maintain a wait - and - see attitude [10] - **Options**: Sell put options [10] 3. Relevant Attachments - The report provides multiple charts, including Guangxi and Yunnan's monthly sugar inventory, monthly sugar production, Liuzhou's white sugar spot price, Liuzhou - Kunming sugar spot price spread, white sugar basis for different contract months, and price spreads between different contracts [11][15][17]

Group 1: Investment Ratings - The investment ratings for the sugar sector in the agricultural, forestry, livestock group is "sideways"; for the rubber series in the energy and chemical sector, it's "sideways" for natural rubber and synthetic rubber, with synthetic rubber showing a "sideways with a slight upward bias" [1][4] Group 2: Core Views - For sugar, externally, the ICE raw sugar price increase has been limited by the short - term trading range due to a lack of information and long - term supply pressure. Domestically, although the Zhengzhou sugar price is slightly stronger with the support of the overall commodity market and the start of the Spring Festival stocking, the increasing supply from Guangxi may drag down the price. The short - term upward trend may lack continuous momentum [1] - For rubber, natural rubber is supported by rising overseas raw material prices and positive market sentiment despite increasing domestic inventories. The short - term upward trend has resistance. Synthetic rubber is supported by rising raw material prices, but high - price transactions are difficult due to downstream price - pressing. The upward trend also has challenges [4] Group 3: Summary by Category Sugar - **Market Review**: On January 8, SR605 closed at 5281 yuan/ton with a daily increase of 0.42%, and its night - session closed at 5286 yuan/ton; SR609 closed at 5293 yuan/ton with a daily increase of 0.34%, and its night - session closed at 5299 yuan/ton [1] - **Important News**: The spot price of Guangxi sugar increased by 17 yuan/ton to 5314 yuan/ton. As of January 5, 2026, in India's Maharashtra state, 195 sugar mills were in operation, 4 less than the same period last season, but the sugar output reached 532.27 tons. Bihar state plans to expand sugarcane planting. In Yunnan, the sugar output as of the end of December 2025/26 season was 39.23 tons, an increase of 6.54 tons year - on - year. In Guangxi, 73 sugar mills were in operation as of December 31, 2025/26 season, 1 less than the same period last year, and the sugar output decreased by 80.95 tons year - on - year [1] - **Market Logic**: Externally, the raw sugar market is calm, and the price is in a sideways range. Domestically, the overall commodity market supports the Zhengzhou sugar price, but the increasing supply from Guangxi may limit the upward movement [1] - **Trading Strategy**: Hold the previous short positions in SR605 and observe the performance in the 5300 - 5315 pressure range. Those not yet in the market should wait for short - selling opportunities. Consider the double - selling strategy for options [1] Rubber - **Market Review**: On January 8, RU2605 closed at 16180 yuan/ton with a daily increase of 0.81%; NR2602 closed at 13150 yuan/ton with a daily increase of 1.08%; BR2602 closed at 12155 yuan/ton with a daily increase of 2.75% [4] - **Important News**: The raw material prices in Thailand increased slightly. As of January 4, 2026, the natural rubber inventory in Qingdao increased. The prices of some rubber products, such as whole - latex and 20 - grade Thai standard rubber, also increased. The price of butadiene rose, and the prices of synthetic rubbers such as cis - butadiene rubber and styrene - butadiene rubber increased [4] - **Market Logic**: Natural rubber is supported by cost and market sentiment, but there is resistance in the short - term upward trend. Synthetic rubber is supported by cost, but high - price transactions are difficult [4] - **Trading Strategy**: The pressure ranges for RU, NR, and BR are 16400 - 16500, 13300 - 13400, and 12200 - 12400 respectively. Consider partial profit - taking for previous long positions, and stop - profit and exit when facing strong pressure or a change in market sentiment. Those not yet in the market are recommended to wait and see [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - On Tuesday, the New York raw sugar futures oscillated and rebounded. The main March contract closed up 0.2% at 14.76 cents per pound. The London ICE white sugar futures' main March contract closed up 0.59% at $423.60 per ton. The raw sugar fundamentals have not changed much recently, and the continuous appreciation of the Real exchange rate has put some pressure on raw sugar, with the market in a sideways oscillation [7]. - Yesterday, the main contract of Zhengzhou sugar strengthened slightly. The 05 contract closed at 5,281 yuan per ton, up 30 yuan or 0.57%, with an increase of 12,538 lots in positions. The new domestic sugar quotes were raised. The new sugar price in Nanning was 5,365 yuan per ton, and in Kunming it was 5,220 yuan per ton. The latest data shows that the sugar production and sugar extraction rate in Guangxi and Guangdong in December declined, mainly due to the impact of typhoons in October last year, which is conducive to the rebound of sugar prices. In recent days, affected by international macro factors, there has been a wave of resource - grabbing in the commodity market, with a general upward trend, especially in industrial products. Sugar is currently influenced by the market atmosphere and is prone to rise and hard to fall, but from the post - market capital side, the enthusiasm of long - position funds is insufficient [8]. 3.

Group 3: Short-term Market Trends - In the raw sugar market, Thailand's production is gradually increasing, but there are no new driving factors in the short term, leading to slight price rebounds influenced by other commodities [3]. - Following the New Year, there has been an increase in inquiries, and a round of replenishment purchases is expected before the Spring Festival, suggesting a temporary market balance [3]. - Despite short-term stability, medium-term pressures remain, with attention on production and sales data from major producing provinces in December [3].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. However, for specific products, the ratings are as follows: - White sugar: Oscillating [1] - Red dates: Weak and oscillating [4] - Rubber series: Natural rubber oscillating and strengthening, synthetic rubber oscillating and strengthening [5] Core Views - The global sugar market is facing supply pressure in the medium to long term due to increased sugar production in India and the expected high - yield season in Brazil. The domestic sugar market may oscillate at a low level, mainly influenced by the external market and domestic sugar association data [1]. - The inventory of red dates is in the seasonal destocking period, but the total inventory is still at a historical high. The market is turning its attention to demand, but there are still insufficient positive factors in the medium to long term, and the futures price is expected to oscillate in the low - level range [4]. - For natural rubber, the cost is supported by the firm overseas raw material prices, but the slow de - stocking of finished products and the increase in inventory in Qingdao suppress the bullish sentiment. For synthetic rubber, the price of butadiene drives the price of cis - butadiene rubber up [5].
