Report Industry Investment Ratings - Cotton: Neutral to bullish [3] - Sugar: Neutral [5] - Pulp: Neutral [8] Core Views - The cotton market is facing a complex situation. Internationally, the extension of India's tariff exemption time supports US cotton, and the USDA's adjustment of global cotton supply and demand has made the pattern tighter. However, the adjustment of some countries' production may not be in place, and the slow export sales of US cotton limit its upside. Domestically, the rapid de - stocking of cotton, low commercial inventory, and the late and limited issuance of sliding - scale duty quotas support domestic cotton prices in the short term. But the expected increase in production in the new year and potential hedging pressure during the new flower listing period limit the upside [2]. - The sugar market has a situation where the continuous high profit of out - of - quota imports and the large increase in imports in July have led to sufficient short - term supply, putting pressure on Zhengzhou sugar prices. However, the low domestic sugar inventory and the sugar mills' willingness to support prices provide some support [5]. - The pulp market has supply pressure due to planned domestic pulp capacity expansion and high port inventories. On the demand side, weak consumption in Europe and the US, low domestic demand during the off - season, and over - capacity in the paper industry lead to limited demand improvement, and the pulp price is expected to oscillate at a low level [7][8]. Summary by Directory Cotton Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the cotton 2601 contract was 14,045 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton (+0.14%) from the previous day. Spot: The Xinjiang arrival price of 3128B cotton was 15,324 yuan/ton, down 68 yuan/ton; the national average price was 15,412 yuan/ton, down 67 yuan/ton. As of September 1, 2025, the weekly listing volume of Indian cotton was 0.7 million tons, a year - on - year decline of 87%, and the cumulative listing volume in the 2024/25 season was 5.1749 million tons, a year - on - year decline of 5% [1]. Market Analysis - International: India's extension of the tariff exemption time supports US cotton. The USDA's August report tightened the global cotton supply - demand pattern, but the production adjustment of some countries may be incomplete. The slow export sales of US cotton limit its upside, and the ICE US cotton may be in the 65 - 70 cents range in the short term. - Domestic: The rapid de - stocking of domestic cotton, low commercial inventory, and the late and limited issuance of sliding - scale duty quotas have not solved the short - term cotton shortage in Xinjiang. The supply is tight at the end of this season, and the approaching peak season improves demand. However, the expected increase in production in the new year and potential hedging pressure during the new flower listing period limit the upside [2]. Strategy - Neutral to bullish. In the short term, the tight supply, approaching peak season, and potential for抢购 may lead to a bullish oscillation of Zhengzhou cotton before the large - scale listing of new flowers. In the medium term, the expected high yield in the new year and potential weak peak season may lead to a decline in cotton prices [3]. Sugar Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the sugar 2601 contract was 5,599 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton (-0.18%) from the previous day. Spot: The sugar price in Nanning, Guangxi was 5,900 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton; the price in Kunming, Yunnan was 5,850 yuan/ton, unchanged. India allows sugar mills to use various raw materials to produce ethanol to ensure domestic sugar supply [3]. Market Analysis - International: Brazil's Conab and other institutions have lowered the sugar production forecast for the 2025/26 season in the central - southern region. Pakistan's sugar purchase supports sugar prices, but Brazil's peak crushing season and the expected increase in production in the Northern Hemisphere limit the upside. - Domestic: The continuous high profit of out - of - quota imports and the large increase in imports in July have led to sufficient short - term supply, putting pressure on Zhengzhou sugar prices [4][5]. Strategy - Neutral. The low domestic sugar inventory and the sugar mills' willingness to support prices limit the further decline of Zhengzhou sugar prices [5]. Pulp Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the pulp 2511 contract was 5,042 yuan/ton, up 2 yuan/ton (+0.04%) from the previous day. Spot: The price of Chilean Silver Star softwood pulp in Shandong was 5,750 yuan/ton, unchanged; the price of Russian softwood pulp was 5,090 yuan/ton, unchanged. The import pulp spot market was generally stable, with only minor fluctuations [5][6]. Market Analysis - Supply: There will be more pulp capacity put into production in the second half of the year in China, and the import volume of wood pulp is expected to decline. However, the slow de - stocking of ports and high inventory levels keep the supply pressure high, and the supply of hardwood pulp is looser than that of softwood pulp. - Demand: Weak pulp consumption in Europe and the US, increasing inventory pressure on global pulp mills, and low domestic demand during the off - season, over - capacity in the paper industry, and limited improvement in terminal demand are expected in the second half of the year [7]. Strategy - Neutral. The lack of improvement in the pulp market fundamentals and the absence of positive drivers suggest that the pulp price will continue to oscillate at a low level in the short term [8].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Group 2: Report Core Views Macro and Financial Futures - Domestic supportive policies are gradually taking effect. In September, policies to promote service consumption will be the focus, which will support the growth of total retail sales of consumer goods to some extent, but the actual effect remains to be seen. Policies in the real - estate sector are advancing, but their impact on the overall market may be limited. The profitability of industrial enterprises has not been fundamentally improved. Overseas, the US economy and employment have shown resilience, and key economic data next week should be closely monitored [2]. - The core issue of the RMB exchange rate is the timing and pace of appreciation. In the short - term, the RMB is likely to appreciate, and the market may reach a "triple - price integration" pattern around 7.10. In the medium - term, the RMB needs a clear downward trend of the US dollar index and substantial positive changes in the domestic economy to achieve a trend - strengthening [4][5]. - As the 9.3 parade approaches, the stock index is expected to have increased volatility. The stock market is expected to be volatile and bullish in the short - term, while the bond market may expand its rebound space if the stock market experiences a high - level adjustment after September 3 [7][8]. Commodities Metals - Gold and silver are expected to be bullish in the medium - to - long - term and strong in the short - term. The focus should be on US economic data this week, and the strategy is to buy on dips [12][15]. - Copper is expected to oscillate before the Fed's next interest - rate decision on September 19, with a mid - term strategy of low - level procurement [16][17]. - Aluminum is expected to be volatile and bullish in the short - term, with a price range of 20,500 - 21,000. Alumina is expected to be weakly volatile, and cast aluminum alloy is expected to be volatile and bullish [20][21]. - Zinc is expected to be strongly oscillating at the bottom in the short - term [23][24]. - Nickel and stainless steel prices rose under the influence of the Indonesian riot and strike. The short - term trend remains to be seen, depending on the development of the situation in Indonesia [24][25]. - Tin is expected to be slightly bullish in the short - term due to tight supply [26]. - The lithium carbonate market is in an adjustment phase. If downstream demand is released, prices may be supported; otherwise, it may remain weakly volatile [26][28]. - Industrial silicon and polysilicon are expected to rise in an oscillatory manner. The rise of polysilicon is mainly affected by macro - sentiment and the expectation of a possible storage platform in September [29]. - Lead is expected to oscillate within a narrow range, with limited upside and downside [30]. Black Metals - Steel products continue to accumulate inventory beyond the seasonal norm. If demand does not improve, the downward space of the steel futures market depends on the tolerance of steel mills for profit shrinkage. Short - sellers can consider reducing positions to take profits [32][33]. - Iron ore prices have released risks. After the short - term risk release, short - sellers are advised to take phased profits [34][35]. - Coking coal may maintain a high - level wide - range oscillatory pattern in the short - term. Coke may face a price cut cycle after the parade. Unilateral speculation on short - selling coking coal is not recommended for now [37]. - Silicon iron and silicon manganese are expected to oscillate at the bottom. It is advisable to go long on the spread between the two when the spread reaches - 400 [38][40]. Energy and Chemicals - Crude oil is currently oscillating weakly. In September, the demand decline is a definite negative factor, and the market needs to wait for key events to clarify the direction. The overall outlook is bearish [42][43]. - Propylene's spot market is strong, and the futures market is oscillating. The northern market is tighter than the southern market [44][45]. - PX - TA's market is mainly characterized by structural contradictions. The overall pattern is "tight at the top and loose at the bottom," and the processing fee of PTA01 is recommended to be compressed when it is above 350 [46][49]. - Ethylene glycol is expected to oscillate between 4330 - 4550, and it is advisable to go long on dips [53]. - PP's supply is increasing, and the demand situation is unclear. Its future trend depends on whether downstream demand can maintain high - speed growth [54][55]. - PE is in a pattern of decreasing supply and increasing demand, but the demand recovery is not strong enough to drive the price up significantly.
