The future trend of US cotton is likely to be slightly stronger in oscillation, while Zhengzhou cotton is expected to maintain a slightly stronger oscillating trend in the short term but with limited upward space [8][9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Information - **Futures Market**: For cotton futures, CF01 closed at 14100 with a decline of 25, CF05 at 14080 with a decline of 5, and CF09 at 13820 with a decline of 10. For cotton yarn futures, CY01 closed at 20140 with a decline of 25, CY05 at 20330 with no change, and CY09 at 20095 with a decline of 25. Volume and open - interest changes varied among contracts [3]. - **Spot Market**: CCIndex3128B was priced at 15243 yuan/ton with an increase of 27, Cot A at 79.15 cents/pound with a decline of 0.25. Different yarn and fiber products also had their respective price changes [3]. - **Spreads**: Cotton and cotton yarn inter - month spreads and cross - variety spreads showed different changes. For example, the 1 - 5 month spread of cotton was 20 with a decline of 20, and the CY01 - CF01 spread was 6040 with no change [3]. Market News and Views - **Cotton Market News** - As of August 17, the budding rate of US cotton in 15 major cotton - growing states was 97%, 1 percentage point slower than last year and 4 percentage points faster than the five - year average. The boll - setting rate was 73%, 10 percentage points slower than last year and 7 percentage points slower than the five - year average. The boll - opening rate was 13%, 5 percentage points slower than last year and 3 percentage points slower than the five - year average. The good - quality rate was 55%, 13 percentage points higher than last year and 10 percentage points higher than the five - year average [6]. - As of the week ending August 16, the total harvesting progress of Brazilian cotton was 48.9%, an increase of 9.9 percentage points from the previous week but 16.3% slower than last year. The Brazilian National Commodity Supply Company (CONAB) slightly reduced the production forecast for the 2024/25 season to 3.935 million tons [6][7]. - **Trading Logic**: Macroscopically, after the China - US talks, tariffs are likely to be extended for 90 days, weakening the short - term tariff impact. The domestic anti - involution policy has a positive impact on commodities. Fundamentally, the cotton supply is still tight, and the key factor for supply is whether additional sliding - scale tariff quotas will be issued. In August, demand is expected to improve from the off - season to the peak season. If demand fails to meet expectations, it will have a negative impact on Zhengzhou cotton [8]. - **Trading Strategies** - **Single - side**: It is expected that the future trend of US cotton will be slightly stronger in oscillation, and Zhengzhou cotton will maintain a slightly stronger oscillating trend in the short term but with limited upward space [9]. - **Arbitrage**: Adopt a wait - and - see approach [10]. - **Options**: Sell put options [11]. - **Cotton Yarn Industry News** - The Zhengzhou cotton market has been oscillating recently. The overall market of pure - cotton yarn has improved but is still mediocre. There is resistance to price increases, and market confidence is average. Spinning mills focus on sales, with inland spinning mills operating at low capacity, stable overall operation, and slightly reduced inventory [13]. - The overall demand for all - cotton gray fabrics has not been fully released. Although some report an improvement compared to July, most fabric mills say sales are still slow, with few actual orders. The production enthusiasm of some local fabric mills has slightly recovered, and the operating rate has increased, but it is expected to be difficult to further recover [13]. Options - **Option Data**: The implied volatility of CF601C14000.CZC was 10.2%, CF601P13600.CZC was 10.3%, and CF601P13400.CZC was 10.3%. The 120 - day historical volatility (HV) of cotton increased slightly compared to the previous day [15]. - **Option Strategy Suggestion**: The position PCR of the main contract of Zhengzhou cotton was 0.7849, and the trading volume PCR was 0.7600. Both the trading volumes of call and put options increased. The option strategy is to sell put options [16][17].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Report's Core View - Recently, favorable weather has led to an increase in the good - quality rate of US cotton, limiting its rebound. In China, the textile industry is in a consumption off - season, with poor new orders, a slow decline in the overall operating rate, and cautious raw material procurement. Cotton is in a de - stocking state, and high - temperature weather in some areas of Xinjiang poses a high risk of heat damage to cotton, supporting a slightly stronger price trend. However, the slow de - stocking process drags down the price rhythm, so the overall trend is slightly stronger in a range. Attention should be paid to weather and macro factors, and there are tariff - related macro - factor risks [2] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - Zhengmian main contract closing price: 13,785 yuan/ton, up 25 yuan; cotton yarn main contract closing price: 19,965 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan.

Downstream acceptance of high basis was not high [7] Trading Logic - Uncertainties in Sino - US trade relations and China's trade policies with other countries bring uncertainties to cotton trends. Currently, China's commercial cotton inventory is at a low level. If the de - stocking rate remains the same, the market may trade on the tight supply of cotton before the new cotton is listed, and cotton prices may fluctuate slightly stronger [8] - Recent international changes are significant. Rising crude oil prices may drive up the prices of all commodities. Iran's Parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission member Kousari said that the Iranian Parliament has concluded that the Strait of Hormuz should be closed, but the final decision lies with the Iranian Supreme National Security Council [8] Trading Strategies - Unilateral: US cotton is expected to fluctuate slightly stronger, and Zhengzhou cotton is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term [9] - Arbitrage: Wait and see [9] - Options: Wait and see [9] Cotton Yarn Industry News - The all - cotton fabric market remained sluggish. Weaving mills reported little change in recent orders, mainly small and scattered orders. Overall, production was cut, and the operating rate was low. The transaction price of grey cloth was negotiated according to order volume. Most weaving mills focused on optimizing cash flow [9] - The pure - cotton yarn market remained sluggish. Spinning mills' prices remained stable, and their willingness to reduce prices for sales decreased significantly. The phenomenon of production restrictions and shutdowns among inland spinning mills increased significantly, and the operating rate continued to decline [9] Group 4: Options Option Data - On June 23, 2025, the closing price of CF509C13400.CZC was 222.00, down 23.2%; the closing price of CF509P12600.CZC was 24.00, down 31.4%; the closing price of CF509P12200.CZC was 16.00, up 14.3% [11] - The 120 - day HV of cotton was 10.2915, with slightly lower volatility than the previous day.

The cotton planting progress was 35%, 1 percentage point higher than last year and 5 percentage points higher than the normal level [6] Trading Logic - The market fundamentals have not changed much, but the macro - level is relatively optimistic. Affected by this, Zhengzhou cotton is expected to maintain a volatile and slightly upward trend [7] Trading Strategies - Unilateral: US cotton is expected to be slightly upward - trending, and Zhengzhou cotton is expected to be upward - trending under macro - influence [8] - Arbitrage: Hold off [9] - Options: Hold off [10] Cotton Yarn Industry News - The atmosphere in the cotton grey fabric market has been weakening. Although previous orders are still in production, new orders are insufficient. The loom factory's operating rate is stable at 5 - 60%. Recent shipments are average, and inventory has decreased slightly, with the current inventory hovering around 32 days. Pay attention to price fluctuations in the grey fabric market after the overnight rise in Zhengzhou cotton [10] - Zhengzhou cotton has been slightly upward - trending this week.
