The oil market continued to oscillate yesterday [36]. - Investment advice: In the future, there is still no obvious driving force for the oil market. At the current price, consider laying out long positions at low prices [37]. 3.2.4 Agricultural Products (Sugar) - Due to continuous rainfall, the opening time of the first sugar factory in Yunnan is slightly delayed. The impact of floods in the main sugar - producing states in India needs to be evaluated, and institutions are cautious about the output. The cumulative sugarcane yield in central and southern Brazil from April to September decreased by 6.5% year - on - year [38][40][41]. - Investment advice: Affected by the weak external market, the Zhengzhou sugar futures price is hovering around 5400 yuan. Considering the reduction of import pressure in the fourth quarter and the possible increase in production costs in the new season, the downside space of Zhengzhou sugar is limited, and it is not recommended to chase short positions [42]. 3.2.5 Black Metal (Rebar/Hot - Rolled Coil) - Hebei Province may not reduce or reduce the proportion of crude steel production for leading steel enterprises. The average working hours and start - up rate of construction machinery in September decreased year - on - year. From October 1 - 12, the retail and wholesale volume of passenger cars showed different trends [43][44][46]. - Investment advice: In the short term, treat the steel price with a weak - oscillation mindset, go short lightly on rebounds, or wait for the steel price to fall [47]. 3.2.6 Agricultural Products (Corn Starch) - The start - up rate of corn starch enterprises has increased significantly, and the inventory has accumulated slightly [48]. - Investment advice: Continue to look at narrowing the spot corn - starch price difference in the long - term. If the deterioration of the actual fundamentals is slow, the futures corn - starch price difference of the 11 - contract may still have room for upward repair [48]. 3.2.7 Agricultural Products (Red Dates) - The price of red dates in the Guangzhou Ruyifang market is temporarily stable.

It is expected that iron production may be reduced in November [54]. - Investment advice: It is expected that iron production will remain at 2.4 million tons in October and may be reduced in November. The raw material market is weak, and when the downward trend will start needs further observation [55]. 3.2.11 Non - ferrous Metals (Lead) - On October 14, the LME 0 - 3 lead was at a discount of $44.48 per ton. The Shanghai lead price oscillated upward yesterday, mainly driven by the rebound of the external market. The LME inventory increased, and the domestic social inventory decreased. The Shanghai lead price may oscillate upward in the short term [56]. - Investment advice: For unilateral trading, take profit on previous long positions in a timely manner. For arbitrage, pay attention to positive spreads for the month - spread and short - term internal - external reverse spreads [56]. 3.2.12 Non - ferrous Metals (Zinc) - On October 14, the LME 0 - 3 zinc was at a premium of $87.22 per ton.

The component price may rise, but the terminal demand may decline [60][61]. - Investment advice: The progress of platform companies is slower than expected, but it may be too early to say they have failed. It is expected that the spot price will not fall in October. Consider going long lightly on the PS2512 contract when it is at a discount to the spot.

Pay attention to geopolitical conflicts [80]. 3.2.20 Energy and Chemicals (Styrene) - The inventory of styrene in the East China main port has decreased slightly. The non - integrated load of styrene has decreased, and the demand has resilience. However, the inventory level is still high compared with the historical average, and the upward driving force of styrene is limited [81][82]. - Investment advice: The driving force of the pure - benzene - styrene industrial chain is weak, and it will be under pressure before the oil end provides support [83]. 3.2.21 Energy and Chemicals (Methanol) - The methanol port inventory has decreased slightly. The decrease in inventory is mainly due to the suppression of imports caused by factors such as port policies. The market expects that the issues related to Iranian goods and US ships can be resolved, but the import cost will increase [84][85]. - Investment advice: Wait and see as the probability of the futures price falling further in the short term is low [86]. 3.2.22 Energy and Chemicals (Caustic Soda) - The price of liquid caustic soda in Shandong is flexibly adjusted.

The price is expected to remain weakly oscillating, and the downside space is limited [93]. 3.2.25 Energy and Chemicals (Pulp) - The price of imported wood pulp in the spot market is mainly stable, with individual prices slightly increasing. The futures price of pulp is oscillating. The supply and demand of pulp are not good, and the upward space of the futures price is limited [94]. - Investment advice: The pulp futures price is relatively strong recently, but considering the poor supply - demand situation, the upward space is limited [95]. 3.2.26 Energy and Chemicals (PTA) - The PTA spot price has decreased, and the spot basis is weak. The downstream polyester inventory is healthy, and the short - term probability of significant production reduction is low. The supply - demand contradiction of PTA is not large, and the short - term driving force is insufficient. The oil price is the main source of price fluctuations [96]. - Investment advice: The PTA price will oscillate weakly in the short term [97]. 3.2.27 Energy and Chemicals (Bottle Chips) - The export quotation of bottle - chip factories continues to decrease. The polyester raw material price has fallen, and the bottle - chip factories have lowered their quotations. The supply - demand contradiction of bottle chips is not prominent at present, but it may accumulate in the fourth quarter [98][99]. - Investment advice: Pay attention to when the factories will resume production.
