Morning Meeting Views on Major Varieties 2.1 Agricultural Products - Sugar: On August 20, the sugar main contract closed at 5676 yuan/ton, showing a narrow - range oscillation. Brazil's production decline provided support, but concentrated imports pressured the spot market. The domestic inventory pressure is light, but the de - stocking process is slow. The price is expected to oscillate, with key support at 5650 yuan [11]. - Corn: On August 20, the corn main contract closed at 2170 yuan/ton, breaking through the previous support at 2180 yuan. New grain supply pressure and import increases affected the market. Feed consumption was suppressed, but deep - processing profits improved. A bearish operation is recommended, with new support at around 2140 yuan [11]. - Live Pigs: The national live - pig price was stable. Supply - side resistance to price drops and improved demand due to cooler weather led to a stable - to - rising price in the short - term. However, the futures market showed a bearish trend [11]. - Eggs: The national egg spot price was stable. High egg - laying hen inventory, large cold - storage stocks, and increased small - sized egg supply weakened the price increase momentum. A strategy of shorting on rebounds and inter - month arbitrage is recommended [11]. - Cotton: The international cotton market has sufficient supply. In the domestic market, the approaching new - flower listing may increase supply, while the demand in the cotton yarn market is improving. A wait - and - see strategy is recommended as the price showed a weak oscillation [11][13]. 2.2 Energy - Chemical Products - Urea: The domestic urea price increased significantly, but downstream follow - up enthusiasm weakened. The industry's daily output was 19.52 tons, and inventories were rising.

Pay attention to India's tender and export policies [15]. - Caustic Soda: The price of caustic soda in Shandong showed an upward trend. With the approaching peak demand season, a bullish strategy on dips for the 2511 contract is recommended [15]. - Coking Coal: The spot prices of coking coal and coke showed some fluctuations. The steel - coke game continued, and the high iron - water output provided support. The prices of coking coal and coke are expected to oscillate [16]. 2.3 Industrial Metals - Copper and Aluminum: The copper price continued to oscillate due to a lack of new macro - drivers and increased inventory. The aluminum price is expected to adjust at a high level, waiting for the demand performance in the peak season [18][20]. - Alumina: The supply of alumina increased, and the demand was relatively stable. The spot price was weak, and the 2601 contract was running weakly. Attention should be paid to bauxite supply disruptions [20]. - Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil: The night - session prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil increased. The spot market trading was average, and inventory data was mixed.
