1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Apple: Neutral [4] - Red dates: Neutral [8] 2. Core Views - Apple: In January 2026, the apple market showed a characteristic of divergence between the pulling of shipments by pre - holiday stocking in the production areas and the weak demand in the sales areas. Although the inventory removal speed accelerated, the inventory was still at a high level. The Spring Festival stocking drove the shipment of late - Fuji apples to accelerate month - on - month but slow down year - on - year. The price polarization was obvious. High - quality goods remained price - firm due to scarcity, while the general goods of fruit farmers were sold at a lower price due to the eagerness to sell. The market performance during the peak season was not prosperous due to the impact of substitute fruits [3]. - Red dates: The 2025 red date market had a production reduction, but the inventory overlay and insufficient consumption kept the prices under pressure. Although the pre - holiday stocking drove inventory removal, it was difficult to change the overall abundant supply pattern. The arrival volume in the sales areas increased month - on - month, but the actual sales were less than expected. Substitute products such as tangerines and nuts compressed the downstream sales space of red dates. The next 20 days are the key stocking period, and the market performance depends on the sales volume in the sales areas [7]. 3.

Recent Market Information - The apple trading situation in the production areas decreased slightly compared with the previous period, and the prices remained stable. Traders mainly shipped pre - packaged goods, and the overall packaging and shipping accelerated slightly. The transaction volume of general goods of fruit farmers in the main production areas was average, with mainly high - grade and third - grade fruits being sold. Some fruit farmers were more eager to sell. In Shaanxi, the transactions of fruit farmers' goods were mainly in small quantities of extreme - end goods, and traders mainly shipped their own inventory. In Gansu, the Jingzhuang area mainly shipped packaged goods of traders, and the trading in the Qingyang area improved. In Shandong, the transactions were average, mainly for gift - box purchases, with a small amount of 75 and third - grade goods being shipped out.

The stocking atmosphere in the production areas was average, and traders preferred to ship their own inventory. The transactions of fruit farmers' goods were concentrated in extreme - end goods, and the transactions of general goods were limited. In the sales areas, the number of arriving trucks increased, and gift - box products were gradually sold, but the sales were affected by competing fruits and were not fast. It is expected that the sales volume will increase slightly under the boost of stocking in the short term, and the prices will be slightly weak [2]. Market Analysis - The apple futures price rose slightly yesterday. With the start of pre - Spring Festival stocking, the market demand increased significantly, and the trading activity improved significantly. In terms of circulation, the pre - holiday purchase demand was released rapidly, and the overall sales speed in the market accelerated. Some dealers still put pressure on the prices at the production end. The current price was still at a high level compared with substitute varieties such as tangerines and cherries, but the prices of high - quality goods remained firm. Attention should be paid to the actual consumption performance in the terminal market. In January 2026, the apple market showed a divergence between the production areas and the sales areas. Although the inventory removal speed accelerated, the inventory was still at a high level. The Spring Festival stocking drove the shipment of late - Fuji apples to accelerate month - on - month but slow down year - on - year. The price polarization was obvious. High - quality goods remained price - firm due to scarcity, while the general goods of fruit farmers were sold at a lower price due to the eagerness to sell. The sales in Shandong and Shaanxi were sluggish, and the transactions of fruit farmers' goods in Gansu were relatively concentrated. The average daily number of arriving trucks in the three major core markets in Guangdong decreased month - on - month, and the overall sales in the month were not smooth. The backlog in the transfer warehouses increased. Although the number of arriving trucks increased at the end of the month due to stocking, the terminal digestion was insufficient. Coupled with the price impact of substitute fruits such as tangerines and cherries, the market performance during the peak season was not prosperous [3]. Red Dates Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the red date 2605 contract yesterday was 8920 yuan/ton, a change of +100 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a change rate of +1.13%. - Spot: The price of first - grade grey dates in Hebei was 8.00 yuan/kg, with no change from the previous day. The spot basis CJ05 was - 920, a change of - 100 from the previous day [5].

The mainstream price of general goods in Aksu was 5.00 - 5.30 yuan/kg, in Alar was 5.20 - 5.80 yuan/kg, in Kashgar was 6.20 - 6.40 yuan/kg, and in Maigaiti was 6.00 - 6.30 yuan/kg. The raw material purchase in the production areas was priced according to quality, adhering to the principle of high - quality and high - price. On February 2, there were 5 trucks of goods arriving at the Hebei Cuierzhuang market. The reference price of special - grade dates was 8.00 yuan/kg, with average quality. Downstream buyers purchased according to demand. Small and medium - sized enterprises with self - purchased goods actively sold their inventory due to the limited pre - holiday stocking time. In the Guangdong Ruyifang market, 7 trucks of goods arrived, and the prices remained stable. Downstream buyers purchased according to demand, and the sales were okay. The market will be on holiday from the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to the eighth day of the first lunar month. According to traders, the logistics will stop operating from the 15th to the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. The available trading time before the Spring Festival is limited, and it is expected that the prices will remain stable in the short term [6]. Market Analysis - The red date futures price fluctuated sideways yesterday. Although the inventory removal speed has accelerated recently, the market supply is still sufficient due to the overlay of old and new goods, and the prices are under continuous pressure. As more buyers enter the market, the pressure on inventory sales has been relieved. Although it is approaching the Spring Festival, the terminal consumption has not increased significantly. Attention should be paid to the actual sales performance in the sales areas and the change in the festival consumption atmosphere during the Spring Festival. The red date purchase in the production areas has ended. The 2025 red date market had a production reduction, but the inventory overlay and insufficient consumption kept the prices under pressure. Although the pre - holiday stocking drove inventory removal, it was difficult to change the overall abundant supply pattern. The arrival volume in the sales areas increased month - on - month, but the actual sales were less than expected. Downstream traders were cautious in purchasing, and the sales were weak. At the same time, substitute products such as tangerines and nuts occupied the market, continuously compressing the downstream sales space of red dates. The next 20 days are the key stocking period. If the sales volume in the sales areas increases significantly, it may relieve the inventory pressure and support the prices in the short term; otherwise, the pressure will be further transmitted after the Spring Festival [7].

Group 1: Report Investment Ratings - The investment rating for both the apple and红枣 industries is neutral [4][8] Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Apple: The trading speed of apple production areas is differentiated, with transactions improving in Shaanxi and Shanxi, but overall slow. The low excellent fruit rate and high price of excellent fruits, along with the impact of alternative fruits, suppress sales. The market is waiting for the Spring Festival stocking to drive up sales [2][3][4] - 红枣: Although the current year's production has decreased, the market supply is still abundant due to sufficient inventory.

The excellent fruit rate is low, the hardness of cold storage fruits is insufficient, and the delivery cost is high [3] Strategy - Maintain a neutral view.

The market trend depends on the release of consumption demand and festival stocking progress [7] Strategy - Maintain a neutral view. The new and old stocks of 红枣 are sufficient. The sales speed in the sales area is average, and the price fluctuates at a low level. Pay attention to the downstream sales atmosphere, acquisition price changes, and peak season consumption changes [8]

Core Views of the Report - For apples, the current入库量 and入库结构 expectations are already reflected in the price Future focus should be on terminal market consumption recovery, the impact of入库结构 differentiation, and pre - Chinese New Year inventory transfer by merchants. The market is in the off - season, and caution is needed when chasing high prices [4] - For red dates, if the sales situation in the sales areas improves, the price may rebound during the consumption season However, due to the large inventory of the old and new seasons, the upward rebound space is expected to be limited [9] 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for both the apple and jujube industries is neutral [4][9] Core Views - For the apple industry, the current入库量 and入库结构 expectations are already reflected in the price. Future focus should be on terminal market consumption recovery, the impact of入库结构 differentiation, and pre - Chinese New Year inventory adjustment by merchants. The market is in a seasonal off - peak, and caution is needed when chasing high prices [4] - For the jujube industry, if the sales situation in the distribution areas improves, the jujube price may rebound during the consumption peak. However, due to the large inventory of new and old seasons, the upward rebound space is expected to be limited [9] Summary by Related Catalogs Apple Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the apple 2605 contract yesterday was 9506 yuan/ton, a change of - 133 yuan/ton or - 1.38% from the previous day [1] - Spot: The price of Shandong Qixia 80 first and second - grade late Fuji was 4.10 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day; the price of Shaanxi Luochuan 70 and above semi - commercial late Fuji was 4.20 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day. The spot basis AP05 - 1306 and AP05 - 1106 increased by 133 from the previous day respectively [1] Recent Market Information - The mainstream market price of late Fuji in storage remains stable, with trading on an as - needed basis. In the western production areas, there are sporadic inquiries from merchants, mainly for farmers' two - grade goods, and the transaction volume is limited. In some areas of Gansu, merchants are shipping Huaniu and high - quality goods, with fair transactions. In Shandong, there is sporadic shipping, and the export of small fruits through foreign trade channels has slowed down. The arrival volume at the wholesale market has changed little, and downstream consumption is weak [2] Market Analysis - Yesterday, the apple futures price fluctuated downward. Compared with previous years, the apple inventory is lower, and the quality is relatively poor. Farmers and traders are less willing to sell, and the shipping speed in each production area is slow. Most merchants are still waiting and watching. The new - season late Fuji has completed warehousing, with the warehousing volume more than 10% lower than the same period last year. The overall mentality of merchants is optimistic. The inventory started to decline last week, and the overall shipping is average. Affected by the seasonal off - peak, consumption is mainly on an as - needed basis, and the demand side is under pressure. The increase in the listing volume of citrus fruits squeezes the sales space of apples, and the sentiment in the distribution areas is relatively pessimistic [3] Strategy - The recommendation is neutral. Given that the expectations of warehousing volume and structure are already priced in, future attention should be on terminal consumption recovery, the impact of warehousing structure differentiation, and merchants' inventory adjustment in the warehouse before the Chinese New Year. It is expected that the double - holiday stocking has not started in large quantities this week, and the market is still in an off - peak situation, so caution is needed when chasing high prices [4] Jujube Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the jujube 2601 contract yesterday was 9180 yuan/ton, a change of + 5 yuan/ton or + 0.05% from the previous day [5] - Spot: The price of first - grade grey jujubes in Hebei was 8.60 yuan/kg, an increase of 0.10 yuan/kg from the previous day.

The mainstream prices in different areas vary. In the Hebei market, there was a small amount of new - season jujubes arriving at the parking area over the weekend, and they are gradually being processed after being brought back to the factory. The new - season jujubes have a large price difference due to cost and quality. In the Guangdong Ruyifang market, there were 9 trucks of jujubes arriving, and the market supply is sufficient. Some holders are reducing prices to avoid storage costs, and downstream merchants are purchasing on an as - needed basis. In the Hebei distribution area, the supply of new - season jujubes is increasing, and it is expected that the spot price will remain stable in the short term [6][7] Market Analysis - The jujube futures price fluctuated slightly yesterday. Merchants from various places are actively purchasing, and the market trading activity is increasing. However, the inventory is still at a high level, and the sales pressure remains. The trading in the distribution areas is mainly for new - season jujubes, which have a large price difference due to cost and quality. The acquisition of grey jujubes in the Xinjiang main production areas is about 90% complete, and the prices have stopped falling and stabilized, with the cost becoming clearer. The prices in the distribution areas have also stabilized, and some holders are slightly increasing their quotes as downstream purchases increase. The inventory of 36 sample points has increased significantly, reaching the highest level in recent years, and the supply - demand contradiction has not been substantially alleviated. The market's future expectations are pessimistic, which has led to a significant decline in futures and spot prices in the past month. As the weather gets colder, jujubes enter the consumption peak season, and the actual consumption situation on the demand side will become another focus [8] Strategy - The recommendation is neutral. If the sales situation in the distribution areas improves, the jujube price may rebound during the consumption peak. However, due to the large inventory of new and old seasons, the upward rebound space is expected to be limited even if the consumption data improves [9]
