1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, the opening price of Xinjiang red dates showed an obvious trend of high - opening and low - closing. The futures price first rose rapidly due to the damage of the first - crop flowers and the supply law of alternate - bearing years, but then fell sharply after the output became clear [2][40]. - Red dates are non - essential consumer goods, and their demand has limited fluctuations. The high inventory level throughout the year has suppressed the upward movement of red date prices [2]. - Looking forward to 2026, due to the unmet expected reduction in red date output in the 2025/26 season and the large carry - over inventory from the previous year, red dates may face more severe inventory pressure. The follow - up market reversal depends on the weather in upstream production areas after June. Without unexpected events, the red date futures price is pessimistically predicted to hit a record low in the new year [3]. - The operation suggestion is to focus on the bottom support of 8,000 yuan within the year. It is recommended to short on rallies in the first half of the year and participate in long positions based on the actual growth of new red dates in the second half of the year. The general direction is bearish [3][97]. 3.
