Group 1: Investment Ratings - The investment strategy for both the apple and jujube industries is neutral [3][6] Group 2: Core Views - The apple market is supported by low inventory and a scarcity of high - quality fruits, but the demand for Tomb - Sweeping Festival stocking was lower than expected, resulting in a slowdown in spot trading. The market is polarized, with high - quality fruits in the northwest having stable prices and ordinary fruits in Shandong having chaotic prices and slow sales. The apple futures price may continue to fluctuate, and future attention should be paid to the weather during the new - season flowering period [2] - The jujube market has abundant supply in the production areas but slow sales, and the sales areas only maintain rigid - demand purchases. As the weather warms up, jujube consumption enters the off - season, and high social inventory and difficult inventory reduction put pressure on spot prices. Although the futures price is at a low level, industrial hedging pressure restricts the rebound space, and the short - term market may continue to fluctuate at the bottom. Future attention should be paid to the weather during the budding period in the production areas and the inventory digestion rhythm [5] Group 3: Apple Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the apple 2605 contract was 9826 yuan/ton, a change of - 37 yuan/ton or - 0.38% from the previous day [1] - Spot: The price of 80 first - and second - grade late Fuji in Shandong Qixia was 4.00 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day; the price of more than 70 semi - commercial late Fuji in Shaanxi Luochuan was 4.35 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day. The spot basis AP05 - 1826 in Qixia and AP05 - 1126 in Luochuan increased by 37 compared to the previous day [1] - Market information: In the production areas, merchants preferentially purchase high - quality goods, and the trading of ordinary goods is slow. In the northwest, inventory holders are reluctant to sell high - quality goods, and the inquiry for ordinary goods is limited. In Shandong, the number of merchants looking for high - quality goods is okay, but the export fruit transfer has slowed down. In the sales areas, the number of arriving trucks has increased slightly, and the terminal sales are average [1] Group 4: Apple Market Analysis - The apple futures price continued its weak consolidation, and the process of contract roll - over accelerated. The core support comes from the structural contradiction of low inventory and scarcity of high - quality fruits, but the demand for Tomb - Sweeping Festival stocking was lower than expected, resulting in a slowdown in spot trading. The production areas are polarized, and the sales areas have a weak sales atmosphere. Short - term long and short factors are intertwined, and the futures price may continue to fluctuate. Future attention should be paid to the weather during the new - season flowering period [2] Group 5: Jujube Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the jujube 2605 contract was 8750 yuan/ton, a change of - 25 yuan/ton or - 0.28% from the previous day [3] - Spot: The price of first - grade gray jujube in Hebei was 7.90 yuan/kg, unchanged from the previous day.

The prices were generally stable, and the market transactions were average [3] Group 6: Jujube Market Analysis - The jujube futures price continued its weak oscillation. The production areas have abundant supply but slow sales, and the sales areas only maintain rigid - demand purchases. As the weather warms up, jujube consumption enters the off - season, and high social inventory and difficult inventory reduction put pressure on spot prices. Although the futures price is at a low level, industrial hedging pressure restricts the rebound space, and the short - term market may continue to fluctuate at the bottom. Future attention should be paid to the weather during the budding period in the production areas and the inventory digestion rhythm [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Both the apple and红枣 industries are rated as neutral [3][6] 2. Core Views - **Apple**: The apple market shows a polarized pattern. The good - quality apples in the northwest are in short supply with stable and firm prices, while the general - quality apples in Shandong have slow sales. The market focus is shifting from the west to the east. The demand for Tomb - sweeping Festival stocking in the sales area is lower than expected, and the terminal sales are slow. The national cold - storage inventory is at a historical low, but the inventory structure has contradictions. In the short term, the futures price may fluctuate at a high level, and attention should be paid to the inventory removal rhythm and new - season flowering - period weather [1][2] - **Red Dates**: The red date market is in a situation of high inventory and weak demand under the pattern of loose supply and demand. The new - year planting season has not started, and the market's focus has returned to the spot fundamentals. The consumption off - season is obvious, and the downstream sales are mediocre. The high inventory is difficult to reduce in the short term, which suppresses the price. The futures price will maintain a bottom - level shock, and attention should be paid to the sales rhythm in the sales area and the weather changes during the germination period in the production area [5] 3.

In the northwest, the good - quality fruits of fruit farmers are in short supply, and the general - quality fruits are sold slowly. In Shandong, the number of merchants looking for good - quality fruits is okay, but the export fruit procurement has slowed down. In the sales area, the number of incoming trucks is low, and the terminal sales are average [1] Market Analysis - The apple futures price continued to decline, and the trading volume decreased. The spot market is polarized. The high - quality apples are in short supply, which pushes up the cost of warehousing receipts, while the large proportion of ordinary apples and slow sales drag down the price. In the short term, the futures price may fluctuate at a high level, and attention should be paid to the inventory removal rhythm and new - season flowering - period weather [2] Strategy - The strategy for the apple industry is neutral [3] Red Dates Market News and Important Data - **Futures**: The closing price of the Red Date 2605 contract was 8,925 yuan/ton, a change of + 65 yuan/ton (+ 0.73%) from the previous day [4] - **Spot**: The price of first - grade grey jujubes in Hebei was 7.90 yuan/kg, unchanged from the previous day.

In the Hebei Cuierzhuang market and Guangdong Ruyifang market, the prices were stable, and the trading atmosphere was light [4] Market Analysis - The red date futures price continued to fluctuate at a low level, and the price fluctuation narrowed. The core contradiction in the market is the high inventory and weak demand under the loose supply - demand pattern. The new - year planting season has not started, and the consumption off - season is obvious. The high inventory is difficult to reduce in the short term, which suppresses the price. The futures price will maintain a bottom - level shock, and attention should be paid to the sales rhythm in the sales area and the weather changes during the germination period in the production area [5] Strategy - The strategy for the red date industry is neutral [6]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for both the apple and red date industries is neutral [3][6] 2. Core Viewpoints - For the apple industry, the current core drivers are low inventory and a shortage of high - quality supplies. The low inventory in cold storage and low premium fruit rate this season have led to a prominent structural contradiction of tight supply of good - quality apples, supporting the near - month contracts. The spot market shows a polarized pattern. Market expectations are boosted by approaching Qingming Festival stocking demand and reduced impact of substitute fruits, but the 5 - month contract faces intensified long - short competition. Future focus should be on sales area sales rhythm and new - season flowering weather [2] - For the red date industry, the market is in a stage of co - existence of the consumption off - season and high inventory. The core driver lies in the demand side, with slow downstream sales and light restocking. As the temperature rises, the red date market enters the traditional consumption off - season, and the high inventory continuously suppresses prices. Although low valuations attract some funds, the rebound is limited due to the off - season supply - demand pattern. After the futures and spot prices enter the low - price zone, negative factors are less effective, but rebounds may trigger hedging pressure. Future focus should be on sales area sales rhythm, inventory reduction progress, and weather changes during the budding period in production areas [5] 3.

In the sales areas, the number of incoming trucks is low, and terminal sales are average [1] Market Analysis - The apple futures price fluctuated strongly yesterday, with the market maintaining high - level consolidation. The low inventory and shortage of high - quality supplies are the main drivers. The cold - storage inventory is at a seven - year low, and the low premium fruit rate has pushed up the cost of warehouse receipts, supporting the near - month contracts. The spot market is polarized, with good - quality apples in the northwest having firm prices and general - quality apples in Shandong having slow sales.

Group 1: Apple 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment strategy for apples is to be bullish in a volatile market [5] 2.

The inventory is at a five - year low, and the de - stocking pressure is small, so it is expected that this week's transactions will remain smooth and prices will be firm with a slight upward trend. However, since apples are non - essential goods, a sharp price increase in the sales area will suppress demand and slow down the price increase.
