1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - Some spot prices of logs in Shandong and Taicang decreased this week. The delivery cost of the cheapest deliverable log in Shandong for the 05 contract is around 815 yuan/m³, and the current futures price above 820 yuan/m³ has priced in the expected increase in April and May to some extent. If the war between the US and Iran continues to drive up oil prices, the "strong expectation" logic will be gradually confirmed. The log futures showed a significant increase in positions and broke through the previous high this week, and the market tends to the "strong expectation" logic. Considering the above, one can consider going long with strict stop - loss [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - Some spot prices of logs in Shandong and Taicang decreased. The current futures price has priced in the expected increase in April and May. If the US - Iran war drives up oil prices, the "strong expectation" logic will be confirmed. The futures market is more inclined to the "strong expectation" logic and it's hard to falsify it before the 05 contract delivery. It's advisable to consider going long with strict stop - loss [3]. - Log futures showed significant increase in positions.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the document. 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the prices of some specifications of logs in Taicang area have declined. The main reasons are the weak demand in the spot market and the increase in the arrival volume. There is a possibility that the post - holiday spot price increase expectation will be falsified. However, due to the long - term trend of the US - Iran war, there is a strong upward expectation and certainty for the overseas log quotations. The existing overseas quotations have been raised to 119 - 122 US dollars/JASm³, equivalent to 805 - 825 yuan/m³ in spot size and 870 - 890 yuan/m³ in futures size. Although this quotation has been accepted by domestic traders, whether the significantly increased overseas quotations can be smoothly transmitted to the domestic market remains to be observed. The current price of the optimal delivery product 5.9 small A in Shandong area is 740 yuan/m³, equivalent to 800 yuan/m³ on the futures market, and the futures price has a certain discount. But the main contract LG2605 is still far from the delivery month, and the overall trading logic is dominated by expectations. In the past three years, the spot price of logs has a high probability of falling from March to May. In summary, the log futures price is affected by the "upward expectation of overseas quotations" and the "sluggish spot market", and there is no consistent trading theme. In the short term, it is expected to fluctuate in the range of 790 - 810. It is recommended to wait and see in terms of operation. The focus in the future should be on the implementation of overseas quotations and the spot price [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - Some specifications of log prices in Taicang area have fallen, mainly due to weak spot market demand and increased arrival volume. The post - holiday price increase expectation may be false. Overseas log quotations have a strong upward expectation, but whether they can be transmitted to the domestic market is uncertain. The futures price has a discount, and the main contract is far from the delivery month. The trading logic is expectation - dominated. The futures price is expected to fluctuate in the 790 - 810 range in the short term, and it is recommended to wait and see. Future focus should be on overseas quotation implementation and spot price [5]. - Log main data: The closing price of the main contract is 792.5, a decrease of 0.94% from the previous period; the total position is 12765, a decrease of 9.53%; the position of the main contract is 8209, a decrease of 11.72%.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - After the Spring Festival, the spot price of logs continued to rise. The current quotation of the optimal deliverable 5.9 - meter small A radiata pine logs in Shandong is 740 yuan/m³, equivalent to a futures price of 800 yuan/m³, with a neutral valuation. The war between the US and Iran last week led to significant increases in chemicals and shipping, prompting New Zealand suppliers to raise their quotes to 119 - 122 US dollars/JASm³. Overall, the log futures price is expected to remain strong this week [4]. 3.

Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Trends - Short - term: demand seasonally rebounds, port inventories may decline from high levels, spot prices are stable with a slight upward trend, and spread positive arbitrage operates [3] - Medium - term: supply rises in March, demand recovers slowly, and port inventories may decline from high levels. Log supply follows the shipping schedule and is expected to be normal, while weak real - estate new construction drags down log demand [3] 3.2 Spot Price Trends - For different specifications of radiation pine and spruce in Shandong and Jiangsu, prices of some specifications have increased, such as 3.9 - meter 30 + radiation pine in Shandong rising by 2.7% and in Jiangsu by 1.3% compared to last week [7] 3.3 Price and Spread - Multiple price charts of different types of logs at different ports are presented, including radiation pine and spruce at ports like Rizhao and Taicang [9][10][16] 3.4 Supply: New Zealand Log Shipping Schedule Data - Three ships with log loads of 39,629.04 m³, 38,461.1 m³ and 35,192.04 m³ are expected to arrive at Chinese ports on March 18 and 21, 2026 [19] 3.5 Demand and Inventory: Domestic Main Port Inventory and Daily Average Shipment - Port inventories at multiple ports have increased, such as the total inventory at Lanshan Port increasing by 19.8% and at Xinminzhou Port increasing by 68.8%. However, the total shipment volume at some ports has decreased, like at Lanshan Port with a - 461.9% change [22] 3.6 Other Price Direct Influencing Factors - The dry bulk BDI decreased by 6.1%, the handy - sized BHSI increased by 6.6%, the crude oil BDTI increased by 54.1%, the SCFI comprehensive index increased by 11.7%.

Report Title - Log Weekly Report: New Zealand's Shipment Resumes, Spot Market Closed Before the Festival [1] Report Date - February 11, 2026 [1] Report Author - Jiang Zhou Xilin [1] Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned Core Viewpoints - In the short term, the log market is in a stage of weak supply and demand before the Spring Festival, with prices remaining stable; the 2603 contract has basically given back its previous gains and may remain stable after the decline, and the performance of the traditional peak season of "Golden March and Silver April" in the downstream will be further observed [4][9] - In the medium term, there is an expectation of short - term supply shortage after the festival, but the price trend is mainly dominated by the weak downstream demand. There is still room for the price to rise in the peak season after the festival, but the possibility of significant improvement compared with previous years is limited, and the price difference in the May contract is expected to widen [9] Key Points by Section 1. Log Industry Data - Supply - **Spot Price**: The price of 3.9 - meter medium A radiata pine logs at Rizhao Port is 750 yuan/cubic meter, remaining stable compared with the previous period; the price of 4 - meter medium A radiata pine logs at Taicang Port this week is 780 yuan/cubic meter, showing an increase [4] - **Futures Price**: As of the close on February 10, the main log contract 2603 closed at 773.5 yuan/cubic meter, showing a decline. The FOB price in New Zealand increased in February, raising the procurement cost of traders [4] - **Arrival Volume**: From February 9 - 15, 2026, the expected number of New Zealand log ships arriving at 13 Chinese ports is 8, an increase of 4 compared with last week, a week - on - week increase of 100%; the total arrival volume is about 264,000 cubic meters, an increase of 117,000 cubic meters compared with last week, a week - on - week increase of 80%. From February 2 - 8, 2026, the actual number of New Zealand log ships arriving at 13 Chinese ports was 4, a decrease of 3 compared with last week, a week - on - week decrease of 43%; the total arrival volume was about 147,000 cubic meters, a decrease of 71,000 cubic meters compared with last week, a week - on - week decrease of 33% [4] - **Annual Import Volume**: In December 2025, the total import volume of Chinese coniferous logs was about 1.7654 million cubic meters, a month - on - month decrease of 20.82% and a year - on - year decrease of 22.45%. Overall, the total import volume of Chinese coniferous logs decreased year - on - year in 2025 [4] 2. Log Industry Data - Inventory - **Inventory Quantity**: As of February 10, the total domestic coniferous log inventory was 2.38 million cubic meters, a decrease of 40,000 cubic meters compared with last week; the radiata pine inventory was 2.02 million cubic meters, a decrease of 40,000 cubic meters compared with last week; the North American wood inventory was 110,000 cubic meters, remaining the same as last week; the spruce/fir inventory was 100,000 cubic meters, a decrease of 10,000 cubic meters compared with last week [6] - **Inventory Change Reason**: The total inventory in Jiangsu has been continuously decreasing. The main reasons are the tight supply of some specifications of port spot (6 - meter medium A and small A), the low arrival volume of radiata pine logs at Taicang Port, and the stockpiling behavior of some processing plants before the Spring Festival, resulting in a structural shortage at Taicang Port since the end of December, especially the shortage of 6 - meter radiata pine logs. In addition, driven by the price difference of 60 yuan/cubic meter between Shandong and Jiangsu, at least 6 New Zealand log ships diverted to Jiangsu, resulting in a significant decrease in the arrival volume at Rizhao Port and a low inventory of 5.9 - meter medium A radiata pine logs [6] 3. Log Industry Data - Demand - **Outbound Volume**: From February 2 - 8, the average daily outbound volume of coniferous logs at 13 ports in 7 Chinese provinces was 51,500 cubic meters, a decrease of 16.53% compared with last week; among them, the average daily outbound volume of coniferous logs at Shandong ports was 32,800 cubic meters, a decrease of 15.68% compared with last week; the average daily outbound volume of coniferous logs at Jiangsu ports was 12,900 cubic meters, a decrease of 18.87% compared with last week [6] - **Demand Characteristics**: The downstream demand is restricted by seasonal factors. As the Spring Festival approaches, the spot market is closed, and the log outbound volume decreases. Previously, the demand showed a north - south divide. In Jiangsu, the prices generally increased due to the tight inventory and pre - festival stockpiling demand, while in Shandong, the prices remained stable due to the large number of ships. Overall, the short - term price increase of radiata pine logs in Rizhao is mainly due to concerns about the reduction of New Zealand supply and the tight inventory of some specifications caused by ship diversion, with little actual change [6] 4. Log Industry Data - Recent News and Outlook - **Import Structure**: China's import of radiata pine shows a significant characteristic of resource centralization, with the proportion from New Zealand further increasing, and domestic demand is accelerating to focus on cost - effective timber species. However, the risk of over - dependence on a single source continues to accumulate [7] - **Policy Impact**: The anti - involution policy has a certain indirect boost in the off - season. Log downstream products and black futures varieties are also affected by the construction and manufacturing industries. The correlation between construction wood squares and coke is as high as 0.9. To some extent, the industrial structure adjustment of the construction industry is beneficial to boosting the sentiment of the log futures market [7] - **Trade Agreement**: The Sino - US Joint Statement in May will be beneficial to wood product exports, especially driving the demand for laminated wood and pulpwood. Downstream factories may replenish log stocks to make up for the export demand gap, thereby accelerating log destocking. However, the current downturn in the terminal market brings negative feedback, and it is expected that the log market will fluctuate at a low level in the medium and long term [7] - **Customs Policy**: The General Administration of Customs has decided to revoke the announcement on suspending the import of US logs. In the short term, the total volume of US logs that can arrive at the port and complete customs clearance will still be limited [7] - **Natural Disaster**: Landslides occurred in the Tauranga area of New Zealand's North Island, which is expected to affect local logging operations and delay the shipment of some ships. Although the shipment from New Zealand has returned to normal this week, the current arrival volume in China is still at a low level [7] - **Exchange Policy**: The Dalian Commodity Exchange has announced the suspension of the delivery business of log designated truck - board delivery sites at several companies [7] 5. Log Industry Data - Strategy and Suggestions - **Historical Price Trend**: From July to early September 2025, affected by the shortage of some specifications of timber, the increase in FOB quotes, and the stockpiling demand caused by the approaching delivery of the 2509 contract, the futures market had a significant rebound, and the spot price also strengthened synchronously. However, due to the cautious market expectation of the long - term real estate demand, the futures contracts showed a significant differentiation trend of near - strong and far - weak before and after entering the delivery month [9] - **Short - term Outlook**: Before the Spring Festival, the demand shows a north - south divide. In Jiangsu, the supply shortage situation will gradually ease as the diverted ships arrive at the port, and the price increase momentum may slow down; in Shandong, the demand is stable, and Shandong processing plants are expected to have a concentrated holiday in early February. The 2603 contract has basically given back its previous gains. In the short term, it may maintain a stable state after the decline, and the performance of the traditional peak season of "Golden March and Silver April" in the downstream will be further observed [9] - **Medium - term Outlook**: There is an expectation of short - term supply shortage after the festival, but the price trend is mainly dominated by the weak downstream demand. There is still room for the price to rise in the peak season after the festival, but the possibility of significant improvement compared with previous years is limited, and the price difference in the May contract is expected to widen [9]

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.
