Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report provides trend judgments on various futures based on fundamental and quantitative indicators, and analyzes the market conditions and trends of multiple industries such as macro finance, black, non - ferrous and new materials, agriculture, and energy chemicals, offering corresponding trading strategies [2][4]. - The geopolitical situation, especially the US - Iran conflict, has a significant impact on the global financial and commodity markets, affecting the supply, demand, and price trends of various commodities [5][6][7]. Summary by Directory 1. Futures Trend Judgments - **Based on Fundamental Judgments**: Trend空头 includes manganese silicon; Oscillatory and bearish includes eggs, ferrosilicon, polysilicon, red dates, plastics, PVC; Oscillatory includes lithium carbonate, cotton yarn, five - year Treasury bonds, ten - year Treasury bonds, two - year Treasury bonds, thirty - year Treasury bonds, cotton, sugar, pulp, logs, urea, iron ore, caustic soda, hot - rolled coil, rebar, copper, ethylene glycol, PTA, industrial silicon, bottle chips, p - xylene, short - fiber, live pigs, coke, methanol, coking coal, glass, soda ash, liquefied petroleum gas, crude oil, zinc; Oscillatory and bullish includes 20 - number rubber, rubber, synthetic rubber, Shanghai Composite 50 stock index futures, CSI 500 stock index futures, CSI 300 stock index futures, CSI 1000 index futures, fuel oil, asphalt [2]. - **Based on Quantitative Indicators**: Bearish includes coke, coking coal, corn starch, hot - rolled coil, rebar, PVC, soybean No.1; Oscillatory includes Zhengzhou cotton, Shanghai gold, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, Shanghai aluminum, soybean No.2, eggs, asphalt, PTA, plastics, sugar, polypropylene, glass, soybean meal, manganese silicon, methanol, rapeseed meal, palm oil, iron ore; Bullish includes rubber, Shanghai tin, Shanghai copper, corn, Shanghai silver, Shanghai lead, Shanghai zinc [4]. 2. Macro Financial - **Stock Index Futures**: Consider a long - position strategy and pay attention to trading volume. The current position has a certain odds, and short - term winning probability may increase [11]. - **Treasury Bond Futures**: The bond market gradually has odds, and consider a left - side long - position strategy. The yield of bonds over 10 years has odds, but the odds are not thick enough. Keep a steep yield curve thinking, and the yield of bonds under 10 years still has room to decline [12]. 3. Black - **Steel**: The overall short - term trend is oscillatory. The demand for building materials is weak, and the inventory of coils and strips is high, suppressing steel prices. The cost side has strong support, and the iron ore supply and demand are in a double - strong pattern. Suggest holding the short - straddle strategy for steel and iron ore, and then shorting on rallies later [14][15][16]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The prices may oscillate strongly in the short term. It is recommended to go long on dips. The prices are affected by the energy substitution logic caused by geopolitical conflicts. Although the supply is sufficient, the procurement willingness of coking enterprises has recovered. If the emotional premium fades, the price may fall back [17]. - **Ferroalloys**: It is recommended to short on rallies. The supply of ferrosilicon and manganese silicon is expected to increase, and the supply - demand relationship is weakening. Although the prices are affected by energy emotions, the fundamental contradictions are accumulating [18]. - **Soda Ash and Glass**: Currently, it is advisable to wait and see. Soda ash supply has slightly declined due to short - term maintenance, and the supply stability of leading enterprises needs attention. Glass supply has both cold - repair and ignition expectations, and the mid - stream inventory needs to be digested [19]. 4. Non - ferrous and New Materials - **Copper**: The short - term price will oscillate widely. The Middle East situation shows signs of easing but remains uncertain. The downstream consumption is warming up, and the inventory is decreasing [21]. - **Zinc**: The inventory has decreased, and the price has stopped falling and rebounded slightly. It is still advisable to adopt an oscillatory and bearish strategy with small price rebounds [22][23]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: It is affected by mine - end disturbances and macro - emotions. If the export of lithium ore from Zimbabwe is still prohibited, it may drive up the price; otherwise, it may cause a short - term supply shock [23][24]. - **Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon**: Industrial silicon oscillates, and it is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of selling call options after a rebound. Polysilicon oscillates weakly, and the liquidity is insufficient, so operate with caution [25][26]. 5. Agriculture - **Cotton**: The price oscillates at a high level. The cotton market is affected by the surrounding market and the macro - environment. The global cotton production is expected to decline, and the domestic cotton inventory is in the de - stocking stage. The import pressure restricts the price, but the decrease in the expected planting area is beneficial to the price in the long term [27][28]. - **Sugar**: The price oscillates and rebounds. The global sugar supply surplus is expected to decrease, and the domestic sugar has seasonal production pressure, but the import cost supports the price [29][30]. - **Eggs**: The recent consumption recovery supports the price, but the supply pressure is large. The spot price may have limited upside, and the futures price of the near - month contract has upward pressure [32][33]. - **Apples**: High - quality apples may be strong, and the futures price may be strong. The inventory is at a low level in recent years, and the demand during the Tomb - Sweeping Festival boosts the price [34][35]. - **Red Dates**: The current view is oscillatory and bearish. It is in the traditional consumption off - season, and the consumption is difficult to grow significantly without external positive factors [36]. - **Live Pigs**: It is advisable to pay attention to selling out - of - the - money call options of near - month contracts. The supply is strong and the demand is weak, but the live - pig inventory is expected to decrease, and the factors for the price to stabilize and rebound are accumulating [37]. 6. Energy Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The geopolitical risk has weakened, but the situation is still variable. If the Strait of Hormuz is navigable, the oil price will return to fundamental trading; otherwise, it may rise. The US - Iran conflict is likely to cool down [39]. - **Fuel Oil**: It will follow the oil price and oscillate at a high level. The focus is on the resumption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz [40]. - **Plastics**: The price is slightly supported by the unstable situation in the Middle East. The upstream production cut is expanding, and the future price depends on the resolution of the war [41]. - **Rubber**: The domestic Yunnan production area has started tapping, and the price is oscillatory and strong in the short term. It is advisable to hold the strategy of narrowing the spread between RU and NR and pay attention to the opportunity of selling put options after full - scale tapping [42]. - **Synthetic Rubber**: The price is driven by the cost side and may have room to rise. It is advisable to wait and see, and pay attention to energy prices and device changes [43]. - **Methanol**: The short - term price is affected by the geopolitical situation in Iran. The long - term supply - demand pattern is improving, but there is great uncertainty. It is not advisable to be overly bearish [44]. - **Caustic Soda**: It is advisable to adopt an intraday wide - range oscillatory strategy. The price is affected by coal prices, supply - side production cuts, and export volume increases, as well as futures premium and inventory accumulation [45][46]. - **Asphalt**: The industry is in a situation of weak supply and demand. The price follows the oil price, and the profit has rebounded [47][48]. - **PVC**: The price may have a callback risk. The core factor is whether the upstream ethylene production cut can continue and expand. If the oil transportation problem is solved, the price may fall rapidly [49]. - **Polyester Industry Chain**: It is advisable to take profit on previous long positions. The cost side is weakening, but the supply contraction provides support. Pay attention to the geopolitical impact, device maintenance progress, and the recovery of polyester demand [50]. - **Liquefied Petroleum Gas**: The geopolitical risk has weakened, but the situation is still variable. If the Strait of Hormuz is navigable, it will return to fundamental trading. It is expected to continue to weaken, but the price may be stronger than that of crude oil [51]. 7. Others - **Paper Pulp**: Pay attention to the impact of the macro and commodity emotions. The import is stable, and the downstream demand is mainly for rigid replenishment. The high inventory and weak demand are in a game with the cost and energy - related production cuts of overseas pulp mills. It is advisable to go long on dips if the market improves [53]. - **Logs**: Pay attention to the macro and commodity emotions. The procurement enthusiasm of processing plants is low, and the fundamentals may stabilize if the demand recovers [54]. - **Urea**: The far - month contract pays attention to cost - driven and agricultural product price increases, and the near - month contract follows the policy. The current supply - demand is balanced, and the impact of the state reserve release needs to be observed [55].

This week, key indicators are limited, and attention should be paid to whether a preliminary passage agreement can be reached after the one - month stagnation in the Strait of Hormuz. The decline in copper prices attracted mid - and downstream buyers, and some refined copper rod enterprises actively replenished stocks. In the short - and medium - term critical period of the war game, if an effective directional agreement is temporarily reached, the short - term market fluctuations may be similar to the impact of reciprocal tariffs last year. Technically, the strong support for copper prices is first at 91,000, and attention should also be paid to the MA40 weekly moving average [2] Aluminum & Alumina & Aluminum Alloy - Today, Shanghai aluminum oscillated. The spot discounts in East China, Central China, and South China were 140 yuan, 170 yuan, and 170 yuan respectively. The social inventory of aluminum ingots and aluminum rods decreased slightly compared with last Thursday. As the aluminum price fell, the inventory and spot market feedback improved. Attention should be paid to whether this can be sustained. High energy prices suppress the economic outlook and interest rate path, and market sentiment fluctuates with war news. Shanghai aluminum should pay attention to the key support at 23,000 yuan. Cast aluminum alloy fluctuates with the aluminum price, and the price difference between cast aluminum alloy and Shanghai aluminum fluctuates around 1,000 yuan under the swinging macro - sentiment. The operating capacity of domestic alumina is temporarily stable, and the surplus situation has improved. However, two alumina plants in Guangxi are about to enter the trial production stage, and imported supplies will also increase, so the surplus prospect remains unchanged. In the short term, alumina oscillates and waits for the guidance of Guinea's mining policy [3] Zinc - Trump announced the postponement of the strike on Iranian power plants and set a 5 - day negotiation period. The market saw a "TACO" again, and zinc prices rebounded following the non - ferrous metal sector. However, there are still concerns about the marginal tightening of liquidity. Goldman Sachs raised the probability of a US recession to 30%. The domestic social inventory of zinc ingots exceeded 250,000 tons, and Shanghai zinc is in an overall surplus and pressured state. Overseas mines are tight and energy prices are high, so the production increase space of zinc ingots is limited, and the supply - side pressure is mainly in the domestic market. Without a significant rebound in TC, the smelting cost line of domestic smelters will still provide strong support for the disk. Demand is gradually showing peak - season characteristics, and Shanghai zinc is expected to gradually enter a range consolidation, with the price range temporarily at 22,000 - 23,000 yuan/ton [4] Aluminum - Overseas aluminum ingot destocking is not smooth, and domestic aluminum ingots are still in the stage of price - cut destocking. The surplus dominates the weak operation of lead prices. Against the background of high by - product prices, the comprehensive cost of primary aluminum smelters is low, and the center of the disk is under pressure. The profit of recycled aluminum is not good, and some smelters still reduce production or postpone resuming production. Shanghai aluminum has strong support at the 16,200 yuan/ton line. However, the import profit is good, overseas low - cost crude aluminum is supplemented to the domestic market, and the price of waste batteries is hard to rise significantly. Shanghai aluminum is expected to oscillate at a low level [6] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel oscillated, market trading declined, and positions slowly recovered. The strong US dollar exerts overall pressure on the market. The demand for stainless steel in the peak season is lower than expected, and downstream only replenishes stocks for rigid needs, with light trading. Due to macro uncertainties, the futures oscillate weakly and are difficult to drive the spot market. Although the social inventory has decreased slightly, it is still at a high level and the destocking is slow; steel mills maintain high production schedules, and the supply pressure is large. The premium of Jinchuan nickel is 6,550 yuan, the discount of imported nickel is 150 yuan, and the premium of electrowon nickel is 50 yuan. The price of high - nickel pig iron per unit has dropped nearly 10 yuan, closing at 1,086.5 yuan per unit. The rebound of upstream prices continues to push up the mid - stream prices and form cost support. In the short term, it is still dominated by policy sentiment. Nickel and stainless steel have high inventories, and attention should be paid to further changes in Indonesian policies, with an overall tendency to weak oscillation [7] Tin - Shanghai tin decreased in volume and oscillated during the session. The short - term trading rhythm is guided by the stock market, and the core of the market is still the Middle East war situation. On the supply side, China's imports of tin concentrates in the first two months have improved significantly year - on - year, and the production of tin concentrates in major producing countries has been continuously stable. The mainstream quotes of domestic tin concentrates from third - party sources have gradually recovered. On this basis, it is generally expected that the domestic refined tin production will return to normal levels in March. On the consumption side, as the tin price falls, it boosts the domestic replenishment willingness, and the Middle East war situation has a certain impact on the normal production of the low - and medium - end integrated circuit industry chain in Southeast Asia. The tin market may be strong domestically and weak overseas, and in terms of trend, the price may still seek support at the 300,000 integer mark and the medium - and long - term weekly K - line moving average. Mid - and downstream enterprises should make rigid purchases at the right time, and the 2605 option can appropriately focus on the direction of selling out - of - the - money put options [8] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate oscillates strongly, and market trading is active. The total market inventory decreased by 100 tons to 99,000 tons, the smelter inventory increased by 300 tons to 16,600 tons, the downstream inventory increased by 500 tons to 44,000 tons, and the trader inventory decreased by 1,000 tons to 36,000 tons. The overall destocking speed has slowed down, and the change in inventory structure is worthy of attention. The decline in smelter inventory has slowed down, and the confidence of traders in hoarding goods has wavered, and they have started to sell to downstream. From the perspective of production, the production of lithium carbonate returned to a high level at the beginning of March. The weekly production has continuously reached new highs, waiting for the inflection point of inventory. The latest quote of Australian ore is 2,045 US dollars, and the ore - end quote has loosened. Technically, the lithium market is resistant to decline and should be considered from an oscillatory perspective [9] Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon futures closed slightly higher, and the upward momentum has weakened; the spot silicon price in East China remained stable compared with yesterday. On the supply side, the weekly operating rate in Xinjiang has remained stable, and leading enterprises have no new production plans; there is also no large - scale resumption of production willingness in Yunnan and Sichuan production areas, and the overall supply side is relatively stable. On the demand side, the weekly production of polysilicon is flat, the price has dropped significantly, the industry is in the loss range, and with the expectation of the cancellation of the export tax rebate policy in April, the export orders of organic silicon may weaken periodically, and the overall downstream demand is weak. In general, the current industrial silicon market presents a situation of weak supply and demand, and the social inventory continues to run at a high level, maintaining fluctuations around 550,000 tons. It is expected that the silicon price will continue to oscillate in the short term [10] Polysilicon - The polysilicon futures continued to run weakly, closing at 35,730 yuan/ton. On the demand side, affected by the cancellation of the export tax rebate, coupled with the limited large - scale start of domestic demand, the component production schedule in April is expected to be lowered, and the component inventory in March has increased significantly compared with last month, providing weak support for upstream raw materials. In the spot market, the polysilicon quote continued to be lowered. The SMM's N - type dense material quote is 40,500 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1,000 yuan/ton compared with yesterday. Recently, the sales volume of spot enterprises has increased, driving the inventory to decline marginally. The futures price has approached 35,000 yuan/ton, and according to the public cost calculation, it is close to the cash cost of leading enterprises. Although the medium - term trend is still bearish, the short - term downward space is limited [11]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The domestic futures market showed mixed performance on March 24, 2026. Factors such as the Middle - East situation, supply - demand relationships, and cost changes significantly influenced the prices of various commodities. The Middle - East situation, especially the conflict in the region and the status of the Hormuz Strait, had a major impact on the energy and chemical markets, leading to price fluctuations and uncertainties [4][5][7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1. Futures Market Overview - As of the close on March 24, domestic futures main contracts had different performances. Carbonate lithium rose over 6%, palladium over 4%, platinum over 3%, and some other commodities like Shanghai tin, Shanghai silver, and 20 - number rubber rose over 2%. On the other hand, low - sulfur fuel oil (LU), SC crude oil fell over 8%, fuel oil over 7%, and ethylene glycol over 6%. In the stock index futures, all major contracts of CSI 300, SSE 50, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 rose, while in the bond futures, 2 - year bond futures fell 0.02%, 5 - year bond futures were flat, 10 - year bond futures rose 0.02%, and 30 - year bond futures rose 0.52%. In terms of capital flow, funds flowed into Shanghai silver 2606, platinum 2606, and live hogs 2605, while funds flowed out of crude oil 2605, CSI 300 2606, and Shanghai gold 2604 [4][5]. 3.2. Market Analysis 3.2.1. Crude Oil - EIA data showed that the increase in US crude oil inventory exceeded expectations, but the decrease in refined oil inventory was significant, with a slight increase in overall oil product inventory. The market focused on the Middle - East situation. Iran's daily crude oil production was about 3.3 million barrels, accounting for 3% of global production, and its daily exports were about 1.6 million barrels. The Hormuz Strait, through which about 13 million barrels of crude oil passed daily in 2025, accounting for about 31% of global seaborne crude oil flow, had been nearly shut down for many days, leading to production cuts in Middle - East oil - producing countries. Although some measures such as the release of strategic oil reserves and the relaxation of sanctions on some countries' oil industries alleviated short - term supply pressure, it was still less than the previous seaborne volume in the Hormuz Strait. The situation had not been truly eased, and the risk of crude oil prices rising further still existed [7][8]. 3.2.2. Asphalt - Last week, the asphalt production rate decreased by 1.2 percentage points to 21.8% compared with the previous week, and was 4.7 percentage points lower than the same period last year. After the Spring Festival, downstream industries gradually resumed work, but the overall demand was still at a low level. The inventory rate of asphalt plants decreased slightly, and the price in Shandong continued to rise. Due to concerns about raw material shortages in domestic refineries, and with the situation in the Middle - East remaining tense and the Hormuz Strait still not navigable, it was expected that the asphalt price would follow the crude oil price and be strong and volatile in the near future [9]. 3.2.3. PP - As of the week of March 20, the downstream PP production rate rose by 0.65 percentage points to 46.36%, but the demand recovery was slow. On March 24, the PP enterprise production rate dropped to about 76.5%, and the production ratio of standard - grade drawn wire decreased to about 25.5%. Although the domestic supply - demand pattern of PP had improved, the downstream was resistant to high prices, and the spot trading was weak. If the Hormuz Strait could not resume navigation, the refinery production cuts would increase, and the PP price was expected to be in a strong - side shock in the near future [11]. 3.2.4. Plastic - On March 24, the plastic production rate dropped to about 82.5%. As of the week of March 20, the PE downstream production rate rose by 3.76 percentage points to 37.59%, but had not returned to the pre - holiday level. After the Spring Festival, the petrochemical inventory had decreased. Although new production capacity had been put into operation in January 2026, there were no new production capacity plans in the first quarter. The domestic supply - demand pattern of plastic had improved, but the downstream was resistant to high prices, and the spot trading was weak. If the Hormuz Strait could not resume navigation, the refinery production cuts would increase, and the plastic price was expected to be in a strong - side shock in the near future [12][14]. 3.2.5. PVC - The information about PVC is the same as that of plastic, including production rate, downstream production rate, inventory, cost, supply, and price trends. It was also expected to be in a strong - side shock in the near future if the Hormuz Strait could not resume navigation [15]. 3.2.6. Urea - Urea opened and closed lower today. After the futures market rose yesterday, the market transaction price rebounded slightly, but the futures fluctuated. The daily production of urea was maintained at around 21 - 220,000 tons, with sufficient supply. The downstream agricultural demand was weakening, but there was still some purchasing. The compound fertilizer factories maintained a high - production - rate inventory - reduction trend. The price was supported by cost increases and terminal demand, and the inventory continued to decline. Although affected by external market sentiment, the increase in urea price was limited, and it was expected to be in a high - level shock during the conflict [17].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current global market is significantly affected by the Iran-US conflict, leading to increased volatility in various asset prices. Central banks around the world are cautious about monetary policy, and inflation concerns are rising. Different industries are facing different supply and demand situations and price trends, and investors need to pay attention to geopolitical risks and market changes [4][8][36] - In the short term, due to the uncertainty of the Middle East situation and the impact of inflation expectations, the prices of most commodities will maintain a high - volatility pattern. Some industries may face short - term price corrections, but in the long term, the upward trend of the commodity market may not end [36][42] Summary by Directory Macro - Financial Index Futures - **Market Information**: Trump's statement on the Iran - US potential agreement and Iran's denial, changes in Fed interest rate hike expectations, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's response to Trump's directive, and the significant increase in WuXi AppTec's net profit in 2025 [2] - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The Iran - US conflict affects global risk appetite, inflation causes the decline of Fed rate - cut expectations, and it is recommended to pay attention to the change of the war situation and control risks [4] Treasury Bonds - **Market Information**: The decline of the main contracts of treasury bonds, the issuance of central bank bills in Hong Kong, the rise of the US 2 - year treasury bond yield, and the net withdrawal of funds by the central bank [5] - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The economic data at the beginning of the year improved, but the sustainability of economic recovery needs to be observed.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The overall commodity futures market is significantly affected by geopolitical conflicts, especially the situation in the Middle East, which has led to price fluctuations in various commodities [1][2][3]. - For most commodities, short - term price trends are mainly influenced by geopolitical factors, while medium - to long - term trends depend on supply - demand fundamentals and macro - economic conditions [11][12][15]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Financial Futures - **Stock Index**: Affected by external disturbances and low market sentiment, the stock index has been continuously adjusted. There is a possibility of a technical rebound in the short - term, and it is relatively strong in the medium - to long - term [2]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Inflation concerns caused by the Middle East situation and high oil prices suppress long - term bond trends, while short - term bonds benefit from stable capital. If the stock market decline expands, the bond market may rise due to risk - aversion sentiment [2]. Container Shipping on European Routes The market has entered a high - level wide - range shock. The core logic has shifted from trading geopolitical conflicts to weighing risk premiums and the reality of the off - season. Near - month contracts are subject to repeated games between events and spot markets, and far - month contracts price in long - term conflicts, with high volatility risks [3]. Non - ferrous Metals - **Platinum and Palladium**: Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East have pushed up oil prices, leading to inflation concerns. The shift in monetary policy expectations suppresses platinum and palladium prices. There are short - term price fluctuations [4]. - **Gold and Silver**: Reversal of the Fed's interest - rate hike expectations, rising US dollar index and real interest rates of US bonds, and the escalation of Middle East conflicts have put pressure on gold and silver prices. There is a lack of upward momentum in the short - term [5]. - **Copper**: Tightening macro - expectations and weak industrial reality have caused copper prices to break through key ranges. In the short - term, the price remains weak, and in the medium - to long - term, attention should be paid to marginal changes in macro - expectations and industrial supply - demand [5]. - **Aluminum**: Geopolitical factors initially pushed up prices, but then concerns about economic recession and liquidity tightening, along with a significant cooling of the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, have made aluminum prices fluctuate weakly. There is a possibility of price increases if raw material shortages lead to more production cuts [6]. - **Alumina**: Domestic production capacity has declined, narrowing the oversupply situation, but new production capacity in Guangxi has brought supply pressure. Overseas, geopolitical factors in the Middle East have affected orders, and shipping costs have risen.

In the medium - to long - term, the supply - demand structure supports the valuation [18]. - **Soda Ash**: The daily production remains high, and the demand is stable but weak. The inventory performance is better than expected, and the price movement is restricted by supply - demand and macro - factors [18]. - **Glass**: The cold - repair expectation of float glass continues, and the supply return expectation and high inventory limit the price increase. The price oscillates under the combined action of supply - demand and cost [19][20]. - **Caustic Soda**: The supply has tightened marginally, and the demand has improved marginally. The overall supply - demand pattern has improved, and the futures price is jointly driven by fundamentals and market sentiment [20].

In the short - term, the hog price may continue to bottom around 10 yuan/kg, and the subsequent trend depends on whether cash - flow pressure can force capacity out - clearing [21]. - **Oilseeds**: The Sino - US negotiation in April has been postponed. In the short - term, the spot price is firm, but the medium - term large - supply logic remains unchanged. The price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal is being repaired [21]. - **Oils**: In the short - term, it oscillates. The price of crude oil is the core influencing factor, and attention should be paid to the bio - fuel policies of Indonesia and the US [22]. - **Cotton**: Geopolitical conflicts have led to crude - oil fluctuations and increased macro - risks. In the short - term, the price has fallen, but in the medium - to long - term, the downstream demand has resilience, and the lower support is stable [23]. - **Sugar**: The expected sugar production in Brazil has been lowered, and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East has made capital cautious. The domestic supply - demand pattern is stable, and the sugar price oscillates [23]. - **Egg**: The supply of small - sized eggs is tight in some areas, and the feed price provides cost support. The short - term price adjusts slightly, and the upward space is limited [24]. - **Apple**: The Tomb - Sweeping Festival stocking is progressing, and the market is polarized. The fundamentals and delivery logic support the futures price, which maintains a strong - oscillating pattern [24]. - **Jujube**: The market focus is on the demand side, and the downstream sales are mediocre. The price is under pressure and may oscillate at a low level [25].
