With the increase in new - season corn supply, the cost support for corn starch weakens. After the holiday, the industry's开机 rate has increased significantly, inventory has slightly increased, and the market demand is squeezed by substitutes [12]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given text. 2. Core Views of the Report - The US corn is expected to continue to see a downward adjustment in yield, but the production is at a high level. The US corn has been oscillating around 420 cents per bushel this week, with strong support at 400 cents per bushel for the December contract. The market focus has shifted to Jilin corn, and there is still expected to be selling pressure when Jilin corn enters the market. The selling pressure of Northeast corn has eased in the short - term, and the corn spot may rebound slightly, but the rebound height is limited. The market expects the low point of the corn price at the northern port to be around 2050 yuan per ton. The corn futures contract 01 is expected to be in bottom - range oscillation, while the expectation for contract 05 remains strong [4]. - The operating rate of starch factories has increased, downstream demand is still weak, but提货量 (pick - up volume) has increased, and the starch inventory has risen to a historical high for the same period. As the corn spot price has declined, the starch spot price has also dropped. The profit of North China starch factories has expanded, and the operating rate of starch enterprises will continue to rise, but there is still room for the starch spot price to fall with the large - scale listing of new corn. The corn starch futures contract 01 is expected to follow the corn in bottom - range oscillation [4]. 3. Summary According to the Directory Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Market Situation and Outlook**: The US corn is in a state of bumper harvest, but the yield may continue to be adjusted downward. The December contract of US corn has strong support at 400 cents per bushel and is in short - term narrow - range oscillation. The current market selling pressure has weakened, and the spot has short - term rebound space. However, there will still be selling pressure in late October when Jilin corn enters the market, so the rebound space of the corn spot is limited. In the short - term, corn will continue to oscillate at the bottom. Contracts 01 and 05 of corn are expected to oscillate at the bottom. The market expects corn to be in short supply after the Chinese New Year, so the spread between contracts 1 and 5 will remain large [4]. - **Trading Strategies** - Unilateral: Try to buy the December contract of US corn around 400 cents per bushel. Adopt a short - term bullish approach for contract 01 of corn and buy contract 05 of corn below 2200 yuan per ton [5]. - Arbitrage: Stay on the sidelines [5]. - Options: Implement a cumulative purchase strategy for contract 05 of corn [5].
