1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For soybeans and soybean meal, the domestic supply has significant pressure, with soybean inventory at a record - high level. There is no immediate improvement in short - term US soybean imports, and the soybean meal de - stocking season provides some support. In the medium term, the global soybean supply is expected to remain loose, so the strategy is to sell on rebounds [2][3]. - For palm oil, the production in Malaysia and Indonesia has exceeded expectations, suppressing the market. There is a possibility that the current high - supply and inventory - building situation may reverse in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year. The strategy is to wait and see for clearer production signals [5][7]. - For sugar, the data of sugarcane crushing and sugar production in the central - southern region of Brazil in September is bearish but in line with expectations. With expected increases in production in the Northern Hemisphere and high production in Brazil, the overall view is bearish, and it is recommended to sell on rallies in the fourth quarter [8][9]. - For cotton, the demand during the peak consumption season this year is weak, and there is an expectation of a bumper harvest in the new year, resulting in high selling - hedging pressure. Although the recent increase in new cotton purchase prices has driven up the Zhengzhou cotton price, the upward space is limited [11][12]. - For eggs, the spot price may rebound, but the space is limited due to high supply. The short - term conditions for a significant increase are not met, and the market is expected to bottom out weakly. It is advisable to wait and see [14][16]. - For pigs, the market was previously pessimistic, but the consumption has recovered after the temperature drop. The market may be bullish in the short term but bearish in the medium term due to the post - poned supply pressure. It is recommended to wait for rebounds to sell [18][19]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Apple: Neutral [4] - Red dates: Neutral [9] Core Views - Apple: The current late Fuji apples are sporadically on the market. Affected by the weather, it is difficult to organize a large number of red apples, and the acquisition period may be shortened. It is expected that the price of high - quality apples will remain stable and firm, with an obvious polarization trend. The price trend of late Fuji apples, the acquisition mentality of merchants, the selling mentality of fruit farmers, weather conditions, and terminal consumption progress should be focused on [3][4]. - Red dates: If the yield and quality are lower than expected, the upward trend of red dates may continue. Otherwise, the futures price of red dates will face a shock pattern with limited upward space and strong downward support. The acquisition progress and price changes of new - season red dates in the main producing areas should be concerned [8][9]. Summary by Related Catalogs Apple Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the Apple 2601 contract yesterday was 8,850 yuan/ton, a change of - 15 yuan/ton from the previous day, a decrease of 0.17% [1]. - Spot: The price of 80 first - and second - grade late Fuji in Shandong Qixia was 3.75 yuan/jin, with no change from the previous day.

The price of high - quality apples in western producing areas such as Gansu Jingning and Shaanxi Luochuan was stable and firm, and the ordering was in the middle and late stages. In Shandong producing areas, due to the average redness and brightness of the fruits, merchants were cautious in their acquisitions, and the opening prices were determined by quality. The price of high - quality apples is expected to remain stable and firm, while the price of general - quality apples may decline due to the increase in supply [2][3]. Strategy - Maintain a neutral view. Currently, late Fuji apples are sporadically on the market. Affected by the weather, it is difficult to organize a large number of red apples, and the acquisition period may be shortened. It is expected that the price of high - quality apples will remain stable and firm, with an obvious polarization trend [4].

The overall inventory pressure still exists, and the supply - demand contradiction has not been substantially alleviated. The new - season jujube trees have the problem of over - overdraft, and a reduction in production is a normal expectation. It is estimated that the new - season yield is between 560,000 and 620,000 tons [7][8]. Strategy - Maintain a neutral view. If the yield and quality are lower than expected, the upward trend of red dates may continue.
