Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views - For sugar, after the northern hemisphere finishes the sugar - cane harvest in February and the negative impact of increased production is fully realized, international sugar prices may rebound. In China, as the supply of imported sugar decreases and sugar prices reach a low level, the downward space in the short - term is limited, so it is advisable to wait and see [5]. - For cotton, in the short - term, Zhengzhou cotton futures fluctuate widely at a high level due to the significant fluctuations in the commodity market. In the long - term, with the reduction of the planting area in the new season and the positive macro - economic expectations, cotton prices still have room to rise. It is recommended to pay attention to the low - buying opportunities before the Spring Festival [9]. - For protein meal, the expectation of China's increased purchase of US soybeans drives up the price of US soybeans. For China, although the long - term supply pressure increases, the import cost rises as the price of US soybeans goes up. It is expected that the price of protein meal will continue to fluctuate in the short - term [13]. - For oils and fats, driven by biodiesel policies in various countries, the increase in consumption of oils and fats this year is greater than the production growth rate, so the medium - term outlook for oil prices is positive. In the short - term, due to the significant fluctuations in the commodity market, oil prices fluctuate at a high level. It is recommended to wait for a pullback and then go long [17]. - For eggs, during the inventory accumulation period around the Spring Festival, with weak demand and high inventory, the spot price is likely to fall. The near - month contract may still need to squeeze out the premium. For the far - end, the logic of capacity reduction will be re - traded after the spot price turns down, but the implementation path is still uncertain [19]. - For pigs, the large basic supply and the current accumulation of live - pig inventory make the spot and near - term expectations pessimistic. The near - term prices are still under pressure, and the strategy is to short on rebounds. For the long - term, although the reduction in production capacity has been revised down, there are still expectations of a high fat - to - standard price difference, seasonal support, and recovery in consumer demand. Pay attention to the support at lower levels after the price follows the decline [22]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided report. 2. Core Views - **Sugar**: After the bullish factors of increased production are largely realized in February when the Northern Hemisphere starts to end the sugar - crushing season, international sugar prices may rebound. Currently, the domestic import sugar supply is gradually decreasing, and the short - term downward space of sugar prices is limited. It is advisable to wait and see for now [3][4]. - **Cotton**: In the short term, Zhengzhou cotton fluctuates widely at a high level due to the significant fluctuations in the commodity market. In the medium - to - long - term, with the reduction of the new - year planting area and the positive macro - economic expectations, cotton prices still have room to rise. It is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of low - buying before the Spring Festival [6][9]. - **Protein Meal**: The expectation of China's increased purchase of US soybeans drives up the price of US soybeans. For the domestic market, on one hand, the long - term supply pressure increases, and on the other hand, the import cost rises. It is expected that the price of protein meal will continue to fluctuate in the short term [12][13]. - **Oils and Fats**: Driven by the bio - diesel policies of various countries, the consumption growth of oils and fats this year is greater than the production growth rate, and the medium - term price of oils and fats is bullish. In the short term, due to the significant fluctuations in the commodity market, the price of oils and fats fluctuates at a high level. It is recommended to wait for the price to pull back and then go long [15][17]. - **Eggs**: The spot price is about to realize the seasonal increase, which will drive the futures price down. The near - term contracts may show weak fluctuations due to valuation support, while the long - term contracts have positive expectations, but the path to achieve profitability is uncertain. It is advisable to maintain a short - selling strategy [19][20]. - **Pigs**: The large basic supply and the accumulation of live - pig inventories make the spot and near - term expectations pessimistic. The near - term contracts may still be under pressure, and it is advisable to short on rebounds. The long - term contracts may have support after following the downward trend, considering the high fat - to - standard price difference, seasonal support, and the expected recovery of consumption demand [22][23]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No mention in the report Core Viewpoints - For sugar, the current raw sugar price has fallen below the support of the Brazilian ethanol conversion price. After the start of the new Brazilian sugar - cane crushing season in April this year, there is a possibility of reducing the sugar - cane - to - sugar ratio. After the northern hemisphere starts to finish the sugar - cane crushing in February and the negative impact of increased production is basically realized, the international sugar price may rebound. The supply of imported sugar in China is gradually decreasing, and the short - term downward space of sugar price may be limited. It is advisable to wait and see for now [4] - For cotton, in the medium - to - long - term, with the reduction of the planting area in the new year and the positive macro - economic outlook, there is still room for cotton price to rise. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of low - buying before the Spring Festival [8] - For protein meal, affected by the sudden news from Canada, the price of rapeseed meal rebounded. The January USDA report data is slightly bearish, but the overall balance sheet is still better than that of the 2024/25 season. From the weekly sample data, the domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories decreased month - on - month.

In addition, the inventory of the three major domestic oils and fats has been decreasing month - on - month. The short - term fundamentals are improving. Wait for a pullback and then try to go long [17] - For eggs, the pre - festival stocking sentiment has boosted the spot price increase beyond expectations. The near - month contracts are driven to fluctuate strongly, but the overall supply is still abundant, and the demand is about to meet expectations. The near - month contracts have post - festival attributes and may fluctuate mainly. In the future, more attention should be paid to the pressure after the rebound. The far - end has a long - term positive expectation due to the peak of production capacity, but after the profit is given too early, the realization path is still uncertain. Pay attention to the selling pressure after the over - valuation [19] - For pigs, the demand support and the market's reluctance to sell due to the high fat - to - standard price difference support the limited short - term decline of the spot price. However, the expectation of inventory accumulation and the upcoming pre - festival supply release lead to the early weakening of the futures market. Considering the large supply pressure after the Spring Festival in the first half of the year and the expectation of inventory postponement, the futures discount is logical. There may still be short - selling opportunities after the rebound. Due to the limited reduction of production capacity, the improvement space of the far - end fundamentals is revised down.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - For sugar, the current raw sugar price has fallen below the support level of the Brazilian ethanol conversion price. After the new Brazilian sugar - cane crushing season in April this year, there is a possibility of reducing the sugar - cane - to - sugar ratio. After the northern hemisphere starts to end the sugar - cane crushing season in February and the negative impact of increased production is basically realized, international sugar prices may rebound. The supply of imported sugar in China is gradually decreasing, and as sugar prices fall to a low level, the short - term downward space may be limited. It is recommended to wait and see for now [4] - For cotton, in the medium to long term, with the reduction of the new - year planting area and the positive future macro - economic outlook, cotton prices still have room to rise. It is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of low - buying before the Spring Festival [8] - For protein meal, affected by sudden news from Canada, rapeseed meal prices rebounded. The January USDA report data was slightly negative, but the overall balance sheet situation is still better than that of the 2024/2025 season.

However, the overall supply is still abundant, and the demand - side expectations are about to be realized. The near - contracts have post - festival attributes and may mainly fluctuate. In the future, more attention should be paid to the pressure after the rebound. The far - end is affected by the peak of production capacity and has a long - term positive outlook, but after the profit is given too early, the realization path is still uncertain. Pay attention to the selling pressure after the over - valuation [20] - For pigs, the demand support and the market's reluctance to sell due to the high fat - to - standard price difference support the short - term limited decline in the spot price. However, the expectation of inventory accumulation and the upcoming pre - festival supply release have led to the early weakness of the futures market. Considering the large overall supply pressure after the Spring Festival in the first half of the year and the expectation of inventory postponement, the futures discount is logical. There may still be opportunities to sell short after the rebound. Due to limited capacity reduction, the improvement space for the long - term fundamentals has been revised down. Pay attention to the lower support after the long - term decline [23] 3. Summary by Category Sugar Market Information - On Wednesday, the Zhengzhou sugar futures price fluctuated.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The January USDA report data was slightly bearish due to a slight upward revision of the production estimates for the US and Brazil and a slight downward revision of US exports. However, the overall balance sheet situation is still better than that of the 2024/25 season. Recently, the US soybean export sales report shows that China has increased its procurement of US soybeans, which supports the CBOT US soybean price but is bearish for domestic prices. On the other hand, the bearish impact of the significant reduction in the import tariff on Canadian rapeseed has been digested. Overall, the price of protein meal may continue to fluctuate, and short - term investors should wait and see [9]. 3.
