Group 1: Report Overview - The report is a chemical research report on log market, specifically the Log Daily Report dated February 11, 2026 [1] Group 2: Data Analysis - Log prices (daily) and wood square prices (daily) for different types of logs and wood squares at various ports are presented, with all prices showing 0.00% day - on - day and week - on - week changes [2] - Futures volume and price data for LG2603, LG2605, and LG2607 contracts are provided, including closing prices, changes, and volume/position changes [2] Group 3: Market Review - On February 10, the log spot market was stable. Prices of different grades of radiata pine logs in Rizhao remained unchanged [4] - The closing price of the main contract LG2603 was 777 yuan/cubic meter, up 5.5 yuan/cubic meter from the previous trading day [5] Group 4: Important Information - In January 2026, 74 coniferous log ships arrived at 13 Chinese ports, a month - on - month decrease of 14.94%. The total arrival volume was about 166.81 million cubic meters, a month - on - month decrease of 12.80%. Among them, 45 ships were from New Zealand, with an arrival volume of about 147.45 million cubic meters, accounting for 88% and a month - on - month decrease of 10.69% [7] - From February 2 to February 8, the average daily outbound volume of coniferous logs at 13 ports in 7 Chinese provinces was 5.15 million cubic meters, a 16.53% decrease from the previous week. The average daily outbound volume of coniferous logs at Shandong ports was 3.28 million cubic meters, a 15.68% decrease, and that at Jiangsu ports was 1.29 million cubic meters, an 18.87% decrease [7] Group 5: Logic Analysis - Supply pressure is increasing marginally; demand is dragged down by the Spring Festival off - season, with the average daily outbound volume decreasing by 16.53% month - on - month. The foreign market price in February increased by 3 - 5 US dollars, raising the procurement cost. The increase in supply and weak demand will suppress prices in the short term, but the rising cost forms a bottom support. Also, the low inventory buffers the supply shock. Prices are expected to fluctuate within a range, and the post - festival demand resumption rhythm needs to be monitored [7] Group 6: Strategy - For unilateral trading, it is recommended to wait and see [7] - For arbitrage, take profit on the 3 - 5 reverse spread [8] - For options, wait and see [9] Group 7: Related Attachments - There are multiple figures showing log and wood square prices, import CFR prices, port log inventory, and other related data [11][13][14]

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The valuation of logs is relatively strong this week with regional price differentiation. The support for the valuation comes from tight domestic arrivals, continuous inventory reduction, and a $3 increase in the February foreign market, which raises the procurement cost of traders. However, the approaching Spring Festival leads to a market shutdown and a temporary decline in demand, so the valuation lacks the momentum for continuous growth. Attention should be paid to the recovery of post - holiday resumption demand and the increase in arrivals from New Zealand [7]. Group 3: Summary by Directory Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies Comprehensive Analysis - On the supply side, the shipment from New Zealand has returned to normal, but the arrival volume at 13 domestic ports has decreased by 15% month - on - month to 185,000 cubic meters, still at a relatively low level. On the demand side, as the Spring Festival approaches, the spot market is closed, and the national daily average outbound volume has slightly decreased by 0.16%. However, the capital availability of construction sites has continuously improved, with the growth rate of housing construction projects leading, driving some projects to rush for work and stock up. There is regional demand differentiation, with an increase in outbound volume in Shandong and Fujian and a decline in Jiangsu. On the inventory side, the total port inventory has decreased by 2.81% month - on - month to 2.42 million cubic meters. The main timber species such as radiata pine are all in a state of inventory reduction, and the inventory in major ports such as Shandong and Jiangsu has generally decreased, with overall tight supply [6]. Trading Strategies - Unilateral trading: Hold a wait - and - see attitude. Aggressive investors can lay out long positions based on last month's low point. - Arbitrage: Pay attention to the reverse arbitrage of log 03 - 05. - Options: Hold a wait - and - see attitude [8][9] Core Logic Analysis - The log valuation is strong this week with regional price differentiation. The support for the valuation comes from tight domestic arrivals, continuous inventory reduction, and a $3 increase in the February foreign market, which raises the procurement cost of traders. The suppressing factor is the approaching Spring Festival, which leads to a market shutdown and a temporary decline in demand. In the short term, there is a game between cost support and the off - season of demand, and the valuation lacks the momentum for continuous growth. Attention should be paid to the recovery of post - holiday resumption demand and the increase in arrivals from New Zealand [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided about the report industry investment rating 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, port arrivals are decreasing, and some traders are closing their warehouses, causing the spot price to be stable with a slight upward trend [3] - In the medium - term, supply will increase in February, demand will enter the Spring Festival off - season, and inventory is about to enter the accumulation stage. Log supply is expected to maintain a normal level according to the shipping schedule, while the weak new construction in the real estate sector on the demand side continues to drag down log demand [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Trends - Short - term: Port arrivals decline, some traders close warehouses, and spot prices are stable with a slight upward trend [3] - Medium - term: Supply increases in February, demand enters the Spring Festival off - season, inventory accumulates. Log supply follows the shipping schedule, and real - estate new construction weakness drags down demand [3] 3.2 Spot Price Trends - For different tree species, specifications, and regions, most prices remained stable from 2026/1/16 to 2026/2/6. Only the 3.9 - meter 30+ radiata pine in Shandong increased by 1.4% and the 5.9 - meter 20+ radiata pine in Shandong increased by 1.4% compared to the previous week [7] 3.3 Supply: New Zealand Log Shipping Schedule Data - Multiple log shipments from various origins are expected to arrive at Chinese and South Korean ports between February 7 and February 21, 2026, with different carrying capacities [19] 3.4 Demand and Inventory: Domestic Main Port Inventory and Daily Average Shipment - Port inventory: In some ports like Lanshan Port, Xinminzhou, and Jiangdu Port, inventory increased compared to the previous week, while in Taicang Port, it decreased.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, China's log supply and demand showed a differentiated pattern. The supply was affected by natural disasters in New Zealand, with a 5% week - on - week decrease in the arrival volume at 13 ports in China. The demand was limited due to the approaching holiday of processing plants and the decline in the capital availability rate of construction projects. The inventory of coniferous logs decreased by 4.46%, and the radiation pine inventory dropped by 5.24%. The log valuation was regionally differentiated, and the price was in line with the actual supply - demand situation. It is expected that the log price will remain stable with a slight upward trend next week, and there will be no significant trend fluctuations [7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies 3.1.1 Comprehensive Analysis - **Supply**: New Zealand's heavy rain in the North Island caused landslides, suspending logging around Tauranga Port and disrupting shipments. The arrival volume at 13 ports in China decreased by 5% week - on - week, and there was a structural shortage of 6 - meter logs at Jiangsu Taicang Port [7]. - **Demand**: Some processing plants have shut down, and most will have holidays from late January to early February. Although the national average daily outbound volume increased by 7.13%, the capital availability rate of construction sites decreased week - on - week, with both housing construction and non - housing construction projects seeing a decline, resulting in limited demand support [7]. - **Inventory**: The total inventory of coniferous logs decreased by 4.46%, the radiation pine inventory dropped by 5.24%, and the inventories at Shandong and Jiangsu ports decreased. Only the inventory of North American logs increased slightly, showing significant regional supply - demand structural differences [7]. 3.1.2 Logic Analysis - This week, the log valuation was regionally differentiated, and the price was in line with the actual supply - demand situation. The price increase in Jiangsu was mainly due to low arrivals, structural shortages, and pre - Spring Festival stocking. The stable price in Shandong was because of stable supply and lack of incremental demand. The January FOB price remained at $110, while the ocean freight increased, and there was an expectation of a price increase in the February FOB price. The downstream wood products' prices showed a mixed trend. In the short term, the valuation in Jiangsu was supported by tight supply, but the demand would be under pressure as processing plants approached holidays. The valuation in Shandong was constrained by the balance of supply and demand. It is expected that the price will remain stable next week without significant trend fluctuations [7]. 3.1.3 Strategies - **Unilateral**: The log price is expected to be stable with a slight upward trend. Investors are advised to go long based on the previous low [8]. - **Arbitrage**: The near - month contracts are expected to strengthen in the short term due to the natural disaster in New Zealand. Investors should pay attention to the log 03 - 05 spread [8]. - **Options**: Hold a wait - and - see attitude [8]. 3.2 Core Logic Analysis - Not provided with additional content beyond what's in the comprehensive analysis section 3.3 Weekly Data Tracking 3.3.1 Log Supply - From November to December, the volume of logs shipped to China increased from 1452,000 cubic meters to 1521,000 cubic meters, a month - on - month increase of 5%, and the number of ships increased from 49 to 55, an increase of 6 [17]. - From January 17 - 23, 2026, a total of 6 ships with 240,000 cubic meters of logs left 12 ports in New Zealand, a week - on - week increase of 2 ships and 120,000 cubic meters.

1. Report's Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report The report indicates that the supply of logs is tightening, with spot prices remaining stable with a slight upward trend. The current log valuation shows a north - south differentiation pattern. The price is expected to be stable with a slight upward trend, and investors are recommended to go long near the previous low. Attention should also be paid to the 03 - 05 reverse spread of logs, while options should be on the sidelines [6][7][8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategy - **Comprehensive Analysis**: On the supply side, New Zealand's log shipments to China decreased by 210,000 cubic meters week - on - week due to the Christmas holiday but are expected to return to normal next week. China's port arrivals increased by 8% to 411,000 cubic meters, with concentrated arrivals in Shandong and limited arrivals in the South. Total inventory increased slightly by 0.75%, with inventory accumulating in the North and supply in the South remaining tight. On the demand side, the daily average outbound volume increased slightly by 1.77%, showing a strong - weak differentiation in overall demand [6]. - **Logic Analysis**: The current log valuation shows a north - south differentiation. The price in Jiangsu increased by 20 yuan/cubic meter, supported by tight supply and factory winter storage, while the price in Shandong remained flat due to concentrated supply and inventory accumulation. The cost of the current round of ship - received logs has decreased, but there is an expectation of an increase in the February foreign quotation. The price of downstream wood squares in Shandong decreased, while that in Jiangsu remained stable. In the short term, the valuation fluctuates with regional supply - demand differentiation and may stabilize next week to absorb the increase [7]. - **Strategy**: For unilateral trading, investors should go long near the previous low as log prices are stable with a slight upward trend. For arbitrage, pay attention to the 03 - 05 reverse spread of logs. For options, stay on the sidelines [8]. 3.2 Core Logic Analysis - **Log Supply**: In the week of January 10 - 16, 2026, New Zealand's direct shipments to China decreased by 210,000 cubic meters week - on - week.

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core View - The log futures fluctuated yesterday, with the main contract LG2603 closing at 772.5 yuan per cubic meter. The spot prices of the main benchmark delivery products remained unchanged.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The spot log market shows a pattern of "high supply, increasing inventory, and weak demand", with supply expected to remain relatively high and demand remaining weak. Cost is the main supporting factor, and attention should be paid to the risk of log price increases caused by new fees for US ships starting from October 14, 2025 [7][8] Group 3: Summary by Directory Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Comprehensive Analysis**: The spot prices of radiata pine in Shandong and Jiangsu have remained flat for two consecutive weeks, still 5 - 9% lower year - on - year.
