1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Sugar**: The short - term external market is strong, but the continuous upward space of sugar price is limited. It is expected to maintain range - bound. In China, the inventory pressure is low in July, but the concentrated arrival of third - quarter shipments and increased imports in the second half of the year will bring pressure to domestic sugar sales. The price is expected to stop falling and stabilize after a sharp correction [3]. - **Pulp**: The fundamentals of pulp and its downstream have changed little. The import volume in July was high, and the demand is in the off - season. The price is difficult to rebound. The price increase is difficult to be transmitted, but the price is less likely to return to the June low [5]. - **Cotton**: The external market may continue to bottom - hunting, and the domestic market is a game between tight spot supply and weak downstream consumption. The price may continue to fluctuate and sort out in the short term [7]. - **Apples**: The current focus is on the end of the old season and the realization of the new season. The initial production estimate cannot provide a trend guide. The price of early - maturing apples has risen, but the sustainability needs to be tracked. The overall price of the apple 10 contract is expected to fluctuate within a range [8]. - **Jujubes**: The inventory is being depleted, and the spot price is running strongly. The 2601 contract is recommended for long - holding, and attention should be paid to the impact of weather on production [10]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 First Part: Plate Strategy Recommendation - **Apples**: Temporarily wait and see. The support range is 7400 - 7500, and the pressure range is 8300 - 8400 [18]. - **Jujubes**: Hold long positions. The support range is 11000 - 11200, and the pressure range is 11500 - 12000 [18]. - **Sugar**: Try to go long when it回调 to the lower edge of the range. The support range is 5500 - 5530, and the pressure range is 5670 - 5700 [18]. - **Pulp**: Short on rallies. The support range is 5100 - 5200, and the pressure range is 5300 - 5400 [18]. - **Cotton**: Temporarily wait and see. The support range is 13500 - 13600, and the pressure range is 14200 - 14300 [18]. 3.2 Second Part: Market News Changes 3.2.1 Apple Market - **Fundamentals**: In June 2025, the export volume decreased. The inventory in cold storage decreased. There are different estimates of production, with a slight increase or decrease [19]. - **Spot Market**: The mainstream transaction price in Shandong is stable. The shipment volume is general. The price of early - maturing apples varies greatly. The arrival at the wholesale market is small, and the price is stable [20][21]. 3.2.2 Jujube Market As of August 8, the inventory decreased. The arrival at the sales area increased, and the spot price was strong. Attention should be paid to terminal consumption and shipment sustainability [22]. 3.2.3 Sugar Market The domestic spot price is stable, and the price of the ICE raw sugar main contract is 16.54 cents/pound. The estimated profit of Brazilian sugar processing is high [24]. 3.2.4 Pulp Market The transaction of imported bleached softwood pulp is light. The price increase is not accepted by buyers.

白糖周报:进口放量中-20250812
Zi Jin Tian Feng Qi Huo· 2025-08-12 08:39
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Views of the Report - **Short - term Outlook**: Short - term outlook is bearish. In the first half of July, sugar production in the central - southern region of Brazil exceeded expectations, putting pressure on raw sugar. The profit margin for out - of - quota imports in China has been opened, and the arrival of imported sugar accelerated from July to August, pushing the reverse spread to the expected level. Attention should be paid to the positive spread strategy between domestic and foreign markets. The market is in a bottom - seeking process in the medium term [3]. - **Foreign Production**: The outlook for foreign production is bearish. The production of the 2025/2026 sugar season in Brazil is basically set at 41 million tons; the production in India in the 2024/2025 season was lower than expected, but there is an expected increase to 35 million tons in the 2025/2026 season; Thailand maintains a slight increase in production [3]. - **Domestic Production and Sales**: The domestic production and sales situation is bullish. As of the end of June, the cumulative sugar production in China was 11.16 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.2 million tons; the cumulative sugar sales were 8.9 million tons [3]. - **Import Profit**: The import profit situation is bearish. The profit margin for out - of - quota imports has been opened, and imports have increased since May. The imports are expected to peak in August and decline in September [3]. - **Overall Inventory**: The overall inventory situation is neutral - bullish. The national industrial inventory in June was 2.26 million tons, at a low level compared to the same period [3]. - **Ethanol - Gasoline Ratio**: The ethanol - gasoline ratio situation is neutral - bullish. The ethanol - gasoline ratio has slightly risen to 0.6768, with ethanol having a slight advantage and approaching the equilibrium point [3]. - **Raw - Refined Sugar Spread**: The raw - refined sugar spread is neutral. The raw - refined sugar spread is at $113 per ton, indicating normal demand for raw sugar [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Brazil Sugar Production Data - **July First - half Data**: In the first half of July, the sugarcane crushing volume in the central - southern region of Brazil was 49.823 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.411 million tons or 14.77%; the sugar production was 3.406 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 446,000 tons or 15.07%. The cumulative crushing volume was 256.14 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 27.217 million tons or 9.61%; the cumulative sugar production was 15.655 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.591 million tons or 9.22% [11]. - **Production Forecast**: IBGE forecasts that Brazil's sugarcane planting area in 2025 will be 9.1685 million hectares, a 0.6% decrease from the previous month's forecast and a 0.2% decrease from 2024; the production is estimated to be 693 million tons, a 0.1% decrease from the previous month's forecast and a 1.9% decrease from 2024. StoneX predicts that the sugar production in the central - southern region of Brazil in the 2025/2026 sugar season will be reduced to 40.16 million tons, a decrease of 1.64 million tons from the May prediction [16]. Brazil Ethanol Production - In the 2025/2026 sugar season as of the first half of July, the ethanol production was 2.194 billion liters, a year - on - year increase of 51 million liters or 2.36%. The cumulative ethanol production was 11.62 billion liters, a year - on - year decrease of 1.587 billion liters or 12.02%. The historically low ethanol production ratio and low inventory will continue to drive the convergence of the ethanol - to - sugar price and the sugar price, and the room for further reduction of the ethanol production ratio is very limited [19]. Brazil Sugar Export - As of the week ending July 30, the quantity of sugar waiting to be shipped at ports was 3.5178 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 177,800 tons or 5%. Brazil entered the high - export window, and the sugar export volume in July 2024 was 3.7823 million tons [30]. Domestic Sugar Market - **Price Trend**: Although the raw sugar price has dropped significantly, the domestic spot price has been supported by the inventory structure and has only fluctuated in a narrow range in the first half of the year, but it has loosened under the impact of imported sugar. The domestic spot price has slightly declined, but the basis remains strong [49][65]. - **Import Situation**: The out - of - quota import window has been opened since late April, and the arrival of imported sugar has increased since May. It is expected that the domestic imports will reach 750,000 - 800,000 tons in July and slow down in August. The large - scale import of sugar may drive the implementation of the positive spread strategy between domestic and foreign markets [57]. - **Market Spread**: The 9 - 1 spread has shifted to a reverse spread as expected with the increase in imported sugar, and the spread is expected to be near the end. In the future, attention should be paid to the positive spread between domestic and foreign markets. From a unilateral perspective, the valuation range of raw sugar is clearer. The current price reflects the global high - yield expectation, suppressing the raw sugar price in the short term [65].

Xin Hua Wang· 2025-08-12 05:48
Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in domestic sugar prices has drawn market attention, with prices reaching historical highs due to supply-demand imbalances and other factors [1][2]. Price Trends - As of September 6, 2023, domestic sugar prices reached 7,390 CNY/ton, marking a 1.37% increase over two weeks and nearing the historical high of 7,830 CNY/ton set in August 2011 [1]. - The domestic sugar futures contract closed at 7,117 CNY/ton on September 6, with a 0.89% daily increase and a 4.37% rise over the past two weeks [2]. - International sugar prices also increased, with ICE raw sugar futures reaching 26.59 cents/pound, a 2.82% rise, and hitting a peak of 26.94 cents/pound, the highest since October 2011 [2]. Supply and Demand Factors - The increase in domestic sugar prices is primarily driven by a tightening supply due to a decrease in both production and imports. The total sugar production for the 2022-2023 season was 8.97 million tons, a 6.17% decrease year-on-year, largely due to reduced output in Guangxi, which accounts for 60% of the country's sugar production [2][3]. - Sugar imports fell to 2.98 million tons by the end of July 2023, a 23% decrease year-on-year, as rising international prices deterred import activity [3]. Market Outlook - Analysts expect domestic sugar prices to remain strong in the short term, supported by seasonal demand and low inventory levels. The upcoming new sugar season starting in October may initially maintain upward price pressure [4][5]. - The sugar industry is likely to continue benefiting from rising prices, with several listed companies reporting significant profit increases in the first half of 2023. Six out of eight companies related to sugar production and sales reported year-on-year profit growth [5]. Inventory and Production Insights - As of August 2023, the sugar production and sales rate in Guangxi was 90.15%, up 12.2 percentage points year-on-year, while industrial inventory dropped to 51.94 million tons, a decrease of 83 million tons [5]. - The current low inventory levels compared to historical averages suggest that sugar factories are under less pressure to sell, contributing to a strong price support mentality among producers [5].

The spot prices of white sugar in Kunming, Nanning, and Liuzhou are 5,825 yuan/ton, 5,950 yuan/ton (a decrease of 20 yuan/ton), and 6,010 yuan/ton (a decrease of 20 yuan/ton) respectively [2] Upstream Situation - The national sugar - crop sown area is 1,480 thousand hectares, an increase of 60 thousand hectares; the sown area of sugar cane in Guangxi is 835.09 thousand hectares, a decrease of 12.86 thousand hectares [2] Industry Situation - The national cumulative sugar production is 1,116.21 million tons, an increase of 5.49 million tons; the cumulative sugar sales volume is 811.38 million tons, an increase of 86.92 million tons. The national industrial sugar inventory is 304.83 million tons, a decrease of 81.43 million tons; the national sugar sales rate is 72.69%, an increase of 7.47 percentage points. The monthly sugar import volume is 420,000 tons, an increase of 70,000 tons; the monthly total sugar exports from Brazil are 3.5937 billion tons, an increase of 0.2347 billion tons [2] Downstream Situation - The cumulative year - on - year growth rate of refined sugar production is 16.7%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points; the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of soft drink production is 2.9%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point [2] Option Market - The implied volatility of at - the - money call options for sugar is 12.62%, an increase of 6.07 percentage points; that of at - the - money put options is 12.62%, an increase of 6.06 percentage points.

Last Friday, the ICE raw sugar October contract closed up 1.5%, and on Monday, the sugar 2601 contract closed down 0.05%. Globally, the production prospects of major Asian sugar - producing countries are good, and the global supply is expected to be loose, putting pressure on raw sugar prices. However, the market is worried about the sugar content of sugar cane in the 2025/26 season, leading to a short - term rebound in raw sugar prices [2] Viewpoint Summary - Conab Analytics reports that the decline in the per - unit yield of sugar cane in Brazil may reduce Brazil's 2025/26 sugar cane output to less than 600 million tons, far lower than Conab's forecast of 663.4 million tons. Domestically, the profit outside the quota remains relatively high, and the import pressure is released. Beet sugar will start crushing in September, leading to a temporary increase in supply.
