The short - term price is expected to remain stable, and attention should be paid to the listing and trading of new - season early - maturing apples [2][3]. - Red dates: The red date futures rose slightly. The second and third batches of flower setting in the production area are better than expected, and the arrival volume in the sales area is small during the off - season.

The sales in the production and sales areas are slow, and the terminal demand has not improved significantly. However, the low inventory supports the price. This week, attention should be paid to the game between merchants' price - pressing and fruit farmers' acceptance, and the price performance of QinYang apples in the west after centralized listing [2]. Red dates - The red date futures rose slightly yesterday. The second and third batches of flower setting in the production area are better than expected, and the arrival volume in the sales area is small during the off - season.

Attention should be paid to the weather in the production area and the last batch of flowers [7]. Strategy Apple - Maintain a neutral strategy. Since the current remaining inventory in the production area is low and the expected output of the new season changes little from last year, the apple fundamentals have no prominent contradictions, and the short - term price is expected to remain stable. Pay attention to the listing and trading of new - season early - maturing apples [3]. Red dates - Adopt a neutral - to - bullish strategy. Recently, funds are very sensitive to the growth of new - season red dates, and the news from the production area has a great impact on the futures market.

Pay close attention to the growth of new - season red dates [8].
