Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The global sugar market's expected high yield in the new season is pressuring sugar prices. With Brazil approaching its supply peak, the global sugar inventory is expected to enter an accumulation phase, and raw sugar will generally fluctuate. In the short term, the market will be influenced by phased production data. Attention should be paid to Brazil's production progress and actual increase in production [3]. - In the domestic market, the sales and production speed is relatively fast, and inventory reduction is advanced. Considering the expected arrival of a large amount of imported sugar, sugar prices are expected to be suppressed. Coupled with the weakening of raw sugar prices and the decline in imported sugar prices, domestic sugar prices are expected to remain weak in the short term [3]. - Recently, raw sugar has broken through the downward trend due to the expected high yield in Brazil. In the future, attention should be paid to the impact of weather changes on the sugarcane crushing progress and the marginal change of raw sugar. In China, the summer stocking demand is delayed, and the short - term trend of raw sugar is weak. The profit of out - of - quota imports has increased again, and the supply pressure of processed sugar is about to materialize. Zhengzhou sugar is expected to remain weak [4].
