1. Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - For sugar, after the northern hemisphere finishes squeezing in February and the negative impact of increased production is mostly realized, international sugar prices may rebound. Currently, the supply of imported sugar in China is gradually decreasing, and with sugar prices at a low level, the short - term downward space may be limited. It is advisable to wait and see for now [2][3][4]. - For cotton, the February USDA monthly supply - demand report is neutral. After the Spring Festival, focus on the downstream startup rate and the new cotton target price policy that may be announced in March or April. Try to go long at the lower edge of the oscillation range [6][9][10]. - For protein meal, the expectation of China increasing soybean purchases from the US has pushed up the CBOT soybean price. For China, on one hand, the long - term supply pressure increases, and on the other hand, the import cost rises. It is expected that the short - term protein meal price will continue to oscillate [12][13][14]. - For oils, driven by biodiesel policies in various countries, the increase in consumption of oils this year is greater than the production growth rate. Oils prices are bullish in the medium term. It is recommended to wait for a pullback to go long [16][19][20]. - For eggs, the market is in the inventory accumulation period around the Spring Festival. With weak demand and high inventory, the spot price is likely to fall. The near - month contracts may still have a premium to be squeezed out, so maintain a high - shorting思路. The far - end contracts will re - trade the capacity reduction logic after the spot price turns, but the implementation path is still uncertain [22][23]. - For pigs, the basic supply is large and the live - animal inventory is accumulating. The spot and near - term expectations are pessimistic. The near - term may still be under pressure, so maintain a strategy of selling on rallies. The long - term may have support after following the decline, considering factors such as the high fat - to - standard price difference, seasonal support, and the expectation of consumption recovery [25][26]. 3.
