1. Report Investment Rating - No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint - The market has high expectations for increased sugar production in India and Thailand during the 25/26 sugar - making season, which suppresses sugar prices. However, due to the slightly slow production progress in Brazil and a high sugar - to - ethanol ratio, the expectation of a decline in Brazil's new - season sugar production in the overseas market is increasing, causing price fluctuations after a sharp drop in the overseas market. In the domestic market, the profit window for out - of - quota imports is open, and the domestic market is slightly stronger with a short - term upward trend [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Sugar Price Forecast and Risk Management - **Price Range Forecast**: The monthly price range of sugar is predicted to be between 5800 - 6000, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 4.40% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 0.0% [3]. - **Risk Management Strategies** - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about sugar price drops, they can short Zhengzhou sugar futures (SR2509) with a 25% hedging ratio at 5900 - 6000 to lock in profits and cover production costs.

They can also sell put options (SR509P5800) with a 75% ratio at 20 - 30 to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs [3]. 3.2 Core Contradictions - The high expectation of increased production in India and Thailand in the 25/26 season suppresses sugar prices. Brazil's slow production progress and high sugar - to - ethanol ratio lead to an increasing expectation of reduced production, causing price fluctuations in the overseas market. The domestic market is slightly stronger due to the open profit window for out - of - quota imports [4]. 3.3利多解读 (Positive Factors) - **Domestic Sales and Inventory**: As of the end of June, Guangxi's cumulative sugar sales reached 514.06 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 61.44 million tons, with a sales - to - production ratio of 79.51%, up 6.29 percentage points year - on - year.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The PG futures contract price fluctuated and declined.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - With recent positive trade progress, gold and silver prices have continuously declined. Before the new tariff deadline, there was a peak in negotiations. After the US and Japan reached a trade agreement, multiple media reported that the US and the EU are expected to reach a preliminary agreement on imposing a 15% tariff, cooling the risk - aversion sentiment. US CPI has rebounded, further cooling the short - term expectation of interest rate cuts. Although the impact of the US tariff policy shown by economic data is smaller than feared, the subsequent impact may gradually increase. In addition, the implementation of the "Big and Beautiful" bill continues to boost the expectation of the US fiscal deficit, and the People's Bank of China continues to increase its gold holdings.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The external market has found support at key integer levels, but Sino-US talks and weather conditions can no longer drive the market to rebound. Future focus should be on China's purchases and weather conditions in US soybean-producing areas. The domestic soybean market has seen a significant decline due to the soybean meal feed reduction substitution plan. The far-month basis quote has weakened, and the near-month warehouse receipt pressure has returned, leading to a correction of the basis. The rapeseed market has followed the decline of soybean meal. In the short term, the contradictions have returned to reality, and the far-month supply-demand gap remains the key focus for layout [4]. - Positive factors include the expectation of Sino-US peace talks supporting the US soybean market, strong bullish sentiment in the far month due to weather speculation, and the Brazilian export premium supporting the far-month contract prices from the cost side [5]. - Negative factors include the supply pressure on the spot side mainly reflected in the basis, the need to focus on the departure of near-month long funds for the return of the futures and spot markets, the expected soybean arrivals showing a gap after December, and the impact of the recent Indian rapeseed issue on the upward momentum, along with the lack of elasticity in the market's repeated pricing of the potential Sino-Canadian and Sino-Australian talks [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Range Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for soybean meal is 2800 - 3300, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 10.2% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 7.8%.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - Overnight crude oil continued to decline slightly, maintaining a narrow sideways range with a slightly lower fluctuation center. During the overnight US trading session, crude oil rebounded from its intraday low, mainly influenced by a report from a British media outlet that the US and Europe are close to reaching a 15% tariff agreement. Driven by this news, US stocks and crude oil strengthened simultaneously. While US stocks reached new highs, crude oil also gradually recovered its intraday losses. In the recent adjustment process, long positions in overseas crude oil have significantly decreased, and market bullish sentiment has continued to cool. Over the past two weeks, crude oil has shown characteristics of declining on increased volume. Although the overall trading volume remains low, when trading volume moderately increases, daily candles close lower, indicating that in the current market's long - short game, even with limited intensity, prices tend to decline, presenting an overall weakening and volatile pattern. On the support side, the lower support mainly relies on the logic of the consumption peak season, but the support from the demand side to the market has weakened both in terms of time and space, and there are no new positive drivers in the market. In this context, if there are no new positive factors, crude oil prices may turn downward [3] Market Dynamics US Inventory Data - For the week ending July 18, 2025, US EIA crude oil inventory decreased by 3.169 million barrels, compared with an expected decrease of 1.565 million barrels and a previous decrease of 3.859 million barrels. Strategic petroleum reserve inventory decreased by 200,000 barrels, compared with a previous decrease of 300,000 barrels. Cushing crude oil inventory increased by 455,000 barrels, compared with a previous increase of 213,000 barrels. Gasoline inventory decreased by 1.738 million barrels, compared with an expected decrease of 908,000 barrels and a previous increase of 3.399 million barrels. Refined oil inventory increased by 2.931 million barrels, compared with an expected decrease of 1.135 million barrels and a previous increase of 4.173 million barrels. Crude oil production decreased by 102,000 barrels to 13.273 million barrels per day. Commercial crude oil imports were 5.976 million barrels per day, a decrease of 403,000 barrels per day from the previous week. Crude oil exports increased by 337,000 barrels per day to 3.855 million barrels per day. Refinery utilization rate was 95.5%, compared with an expected 93.4% and a previous 93.9%. Last week, US crude oil inventory continued to decline for the second consecutive week, effectively alleviating previous market concerns about inventory accumulation.
