Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall trend of soybean prices is expected to continue an upward oscillation, with short - term adjustments possibly caused by the release of imported soybeans from storage [1]. - Corn prices are on a slow upward trend, and the recommended strategy is to go long at low prices and consider replenishing stocks or buying on dips [2]. - Egg prices are expected to be stable with a slight upward trend, and a low - buying strategy is recommended [3]. - The pig market is in a stage of short - term price pressure and long - term capacity clearance. Near - term prices are expected to oscillate at the bottom, and the follow - up policy regulation and the culling of sows from March to May will be decisive for the market trend [3][4]. Summary by Related Catalogs Soybeans - Domestic soybean spot prices have generally risen steadily, with tight supply of high - protein soybeans and post - holiday restocking demand from downstream, but purchases are mainly for rigid needs. The price low point has passed [1]. - The 39.5 - protein tower grain in the Heilongjiang main production area is priced around 2.08 - 2.2 yuan per catty, 40 - 41 protein tower grain is around 2.25 - 2.3 yuan per catty, and high - protein soybeans (such as 42 - protein and above) can reach 2.35 - 2.45 yuan per catty in some areas [1]. Corn - After the holiday, grain depot purchasing has resumed, and the purchase base prices have increased. For example, the base price of Hohhot Direct - affiliated Depot of China Grain Reserves Inner Mongolia Branch is 2340 yuan per ton, up 30 yuan per ton from before the holiday [2]. - Affected by post - holiday restocking demand and the resonance of the futures and spot markets, corn prices are rising slowly, but downstream enterprises are cautious in purchasing due to poor profit margins. The sharp rise in crude oil is beneficial to ethanol enterprises and indirectly drives up corn prices [2]. Eggs - Based on the previous chick sales, the supply of newly - opened laying hens from February to March may decrease, and the inventory of laying hens in production is expected to decline slightly from the high level, alleviating the supply pressure [3]. - From January to June 2026, the monthly average inventory of laying hens in production nationwide is 1.134 billion, a year - on - year decrease of 0.02 billion (0.18%) compared with 2025, and an increase of 0.078 billion (7.39%) compared with the average of the previous six years [3]. Pigs - In early February, the pig - grain ratio in China was below 5:1 for three consecutive weeks, meeting the conditions for frozen meat procurement. After the Spring Festival, the market is in a state of strong supply and weak demand, and pig prices are at a seasonal low [3]. - As of the end of December 2025, the national inventory of breeding sows was 39.61 million (101.6% of the normal level), and it slightly decreased to 39.58 million in January 2026, still above the regulatory red line. The inventory of breeding sows indicates large pressure on pig production in the first half of 2026 [3][4]. - Huachuwang announced the procurement of 10,000 tons of pork tomorrow, indicating an oversupply in the spot market. It is expected that subsequent procurements will continue to ease the oversupply pressure [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Views Corn - In the international market, due to the record - high corn production in the US in 2025, low prices and sufficient supply will suppress farmers' willingness to expand planting area in 2026. The expected planting area in 2026 is 94 million acres, lower than 98.8 million acres in 2025. However, with normal weather, the USDA expects the 2026 US corn production to reach 15.755 billion bushels, which still restricts international corn prices. In the domestic market, in the Northeast production area, the remaining grain of grass - roots farmers is less than 30%, the pressure of wet grain supply is reduced, and the grain - holding entities are bullish on the future market, resulting in a cold supply of corn. Processing enterprises have a demand for replenishing inventory, and the purchase price is generally strong. In the North China and Huanghuai regions, affected by rain and snow, the grass - roots purchase and sales recovery is slow, the supply of high - quality corn is tight, and deep - processing enterprises raise prices to promote purchases. After the Spring Festival, the corn futures price has been rising and maintaining a strong trend [2]. Corn Starch - After the Spring Festival, the operating rate of the corn starch industry has gradually increased, but the overall increase is limited, and the supply pressure is not large. However, the market purchase and sales have not recovered, the downstream procurement and delivery progress is slow, and the inventory is still rising. As of February 25, the total inventory of corn starch enterprises is 119800 tons, with a weekly increase of 7.16%, a monthly increase of 16.54%, and a year - on - year decrease of 11.32%. Affected by the strong performance of corn, the starch market has also shown a strong shock after the Spring Festival [3]. 3.

As of February 26, the harvesting progress of the first - season corn in the central and southern regions of Brazil in the 2025/26 season reached 36%, higher than 28% of the previous week but lower than 46% of the same period last year. The USDA said that due to the record - high corn production in the US in 2025, low prices and sufficient supply will suppress farmers' willingness to expand corn planting area in 2026 [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - In the post - Spring Festival period of 2026, the upstream raw material prices of the domestic corn industry chain are supported, the mid - stream processing enterprises face cost pressure and profit losses, and the downstream demand recovers slowly with strong market wait - and - see sentiment. The current corn market has a mix of long and short factors. In the short term, the corn market will remain in a high - level shock, and the future trend depends on the matching degree between the grass - roots grain sales rhythm and terminal demand [5][8] Summary by Relevant Catalog Supply and Price in Production Areas - After the Spring Festival, the corn production areas did not return to normal immediately. The slow pace of farmers' grain sales led to a temporary shortage of market grain sources, supporting the general rise in spot prices. Different production areas had different price increases and market sentiments due to differences in supply - demand fundamentals [6] - In the Northeast production area, the corn price was stable with a slight increase, showing a strong operation trend. After the festival, the deep - processing purchase price was higher than before the festival. The listed price of wet corn converted to 14% dry basis in Heilongjiang and Jilin deep - processing enterprises was 2113 - 2210 yuan/ton, up 10 - 20 yuan/ton compared with before the Spring Festival. Deep - processing enterprises started purchasing successively from the fourth day of the first lunar month and had restocking needs after the Spring Festival consumption, which supported the corn price in the production area [6] - In the North China production area, the corn price increased significantly, and the market entered a wait - and - see state after a rapid rise. The listed price of corn in Shandong was 2220 - 2420 yuan/ton, up 10 - 40 yuan/ton compared with before the Spring Festival, with a higher increase than in the Northeast. Most grass - roots grain collection points started purchasing from the eighth day of the first lunar month, but farmers' grain sales had not fully recovered, resulting in a shortage of grain sources. Deep - processing enterprises had restocking needs and were active in purchasing. The number of corn trucks queuing at the gates of Shandong deep - processing enterprises in the past week exceeded 2200, a 2% increase week - on - week, indicating the recovery of logistics and an increase in arrivals, while enterprise demand was also recovering simultaneously [6] Demand and Price in Sales Areas - As of February 27, 2026, the mainstream quotation of bulk - carrier corn at Guangdong Shekou Port was 2440 - 2460 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan/ton compared with before the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, the corn price in the sales area followed the price increase in the main production areas such as the Northeast and North China, but this increase was not driven by strong local demand in the sales area, so the increase was relatively moderate [7] - With the gradual recovery of port arrivals, the supply was relatively stable. The price increase was mainly due to cost - push rather than a shortage of port supply itself. Downstream feed enterprises' procurement activities were light. Due to the pre - festival inventory of feed enterprises, there was a demand window period after the festival. Feed enterprises preferred to consume existing inventory and had a low acceptance of high - priced new grain. At the same time, the downstream aquaculture demand was weak after the festival, leading to a cautious procurement attitude [7] - The sales area market showed the characteristic of high prices but few transactions, with limited actual transactions. Currently, the firm price in the production area supports the price in the sales area, but due to the lack of demand pull, the price increase will be significantly smaller than that in the production area, mainly showing a follow - up increase. As the pre - festival inventory of feed enterprises is gradually depleted, the rigid restocking demand will be released, but the time and intensity of the release will depend on the profitability of the downstream aquaculture industry [7]

Core Views of the Report - In the short term, attention should be paid to the evolution of the Middle East conflict. If the conflict ends quickly, the market sentiment will recover rapidly after the shock adjustment of the stock index, and an upward trend will be opened. The approaching of China's "Two Sessions" provides support for the stock index. If the Middle East situation does not deteriorate further, the short - term adjustment of the stock index will bring a good long - position layout opportunity [1]. - Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has indicated interest - rate risks in the short term, and attention should be paid to the interest - rate decision of the Bank of Japan [1]. - Overseas macro factors are favorable for copper prices, but the continuous accumulation of global copper inventories suppresses prices. The supply of electrolytic aluminum is disturbed, and the domestic alumina production capacity is decreasing, but the inventory is increasing. The supply of zinc ore from Iran is a concern, and the supply of nickel ore in Indonesia is tight. The prices of these metals are expected to oscillate in the short term [1]. - Geopolitical conflicts support the prices of precious metals, but rising oil prices increase inflation risks and weaken the expectation of interest - rate cuts.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Views - For corn, short - term spot supply is limited, and prices are strongly supported. After the Spring Festival, focus on the volume of supply, especially in North China. In the long - term, pay attention to import and domestic auction policies due to the supply gap [1]. - For starch, in the short - term, prices will remain strong as inventory pressure is low and there is post - festival restocking demand. In the long - term, downstream consumption rhythm is the key factor [2]. - For sugar, internationally, India's production cut and ISO's adjustment of the global surplus expectation, along with strong crude oil, may boost the price. Domestically, the market is discussing import policies, and there is hedging pressure on the upper side of the market [4]. - For cotton, low initial inventory offsets most of the output increase. With expanding textile production, good downstream profits, consumption - promoting policies, and good export performance, demand is expected to improve. New - season planting area in Xinjiang will decline, so it is suitable for long - term long positions [8]. - For eggs, post - festival restocking drives a small price rebound. Current production is in a slight loss, and farmers are delaying chicken culling. Near - month supply pressure is less than last year, but delayed culling will suppress prices during the rainy season. It is recommended to adopt a reverse spread strategy [13]. - For apples, post - Spring Festival sales slowed down, with more packaging and shipping. Fruit farmers' sales are limited, and good - quality fruit prices are stable or firm [15]. - For pigs, weekend spot prices were first stable then weak. In the mid - term, there is supply pressure, and in the long - term, there is a potential inflection point. Pay attention to changes in farmers' selling weight, second - fattening expectations, and frozen product storage [15].
