[Market Outlook]

In terms of containers, inflation is expected to reach new highs in the context of the European energy crisis. German electricity prices exceeded the 700 euro mark for the first time. The market expects German inflation to rise to 10% in the autumn. Demand-side pressures in European and American countries are gradually emerging. It is expected that four China's export growth will weaken significantly in the quarter. The European energy crisis and shortage may increase imports of structural categories such as photovoltaics and chemicals in the short term. However, in the long term, an intensifying recession in the context of high inflation will lead to a sharp decline in end demand. It is expected that container freight rates will continue to weaken in the short term. In the medium and long term, the supply and demand pattern of container transportation has reversed, and the medium and long-term weakening trend of freight rates will remain unchanged.

In terms of dry bulk cargo, the recent high temperature weather in the northern hemisphere has been beneficial to the consumption of thermal coal. The daily consumption of domestic power plants has increased. As the high temperature weather eases, demand is expected to fall. The restart of coal in Europe supports coal demand, but in the context of difficulties in inland waterway transportation and port clearance caused by high temperatures and droughts, coal imports are expected to slow down. In terms of iron ore, the demand for steel in the world's major economies has slowed down against the backdrop of recession. The recovery of China's real estate and infrastructure has not exceeded market expectations. The resumption of production of steel plants amid power restrictions is still questionable. Iron ore demand is still facing greater challenges. Pressure, focusing on China's infrastructure development in the second half of the year. In terms of grain, South America's grain demand is average, and Ukraine's grain exports are gradually recovering. The short-term impact of the low water level of the Rhine River on ship navigation continues. According to forecasts, the water level of the Rhine River has dropped again after a brief rise recently. The restriction of port dredging is bad for the demand for dry bulk cargo, and short-term freight rates are expected to continue to be under pressure.

[Trading strategy]

1. Unilateral: Under the combined influence of multiple positive factors, the United States, beans and corn have rebounded significantly. Yesterday, the soybean meal 01 contract increased significantly, and rapeseed meal also rose accordingly. However, we believe that the recent strong event of US soybeans is more driven and sudden. From the perspective of the global balance sheet, it is difficult to support a sustained upward trend, so we do not support reverse long positions. It is recommended to continue to hold early short orders, and the upper pressure level is around 3900-3950;

According to Ukrainian officials, the country's food production can feed up to 400 million people. In addition, the country also exports barley, soybeans and oils, sunflower seeds and soybean meal.

[Trading strategy]

1. Unilateral: 09 contract varieties still have high basis differences, and it is expected that the fluctuation will be stronger and return upward. The overall unilateral outlook for oil and fat is expected to remain range-bound, and we still need to wait for new drivers after the basis returns. Both rapeseed oil and soybean oil will maintain a pattern of tightness at the near-end and looseness at the long-term. The near-end supply conflict of palm oil will be resolved in the short term, while the far-end supply conflict is highly uncertain due to policy and other issues. However, the supply of oils and fats is relatively loose, and consumption expectations are relatively pessimistic, because the overall downward trend of oils and fats will not fundamentally change. It is recommended that after the basis returns, try shorting the 01 rapeseed oil contract on rallies.

2. Arbitrage: y2211-y2301 positive set, open a position near 200, and the target point is 350 for the time being.

[Trading Strategy]

1. Unilateral: Crop inspections show that the current corn yield in the affected areas is lower than expected, and US corn futures prices have hit a new high in the recent rebound. Corn surplus continues to be consumed. Rainfall in the Northeast and high temperatures in the southern Huanghuai River have a certain adverse impact on output. However, demand is still weak. The spot corn market is running weakly. However, the futures price has reflected the more pessimistic expectations and is expected to rebound in shock.

Coupled with the recent partial rebound of the epidemic in many regions, chicken consumption is under pressure. At present, the inventory of slaughterhouses continues to rise. Due to the resumption of school in batches in the downstream, dealers have not concentrated on stocking. The overall sales of goods are average. It is expected that the prices of raw chickens and cut products will mainly fluctuate in the short term.

[Operation Suggestions]

1. Unilateral: On the egg supply side, the inventory in production and inventory in July was still relatively low. It is expected that the inventory in production and inventory in the next four months will still be at a historical low for the same period and show a gradual downward trend. The supply of eggs is low. . On the demand side, schools start stocking up before the start of school and then stock up during holidays. Once egg prices fall, the demand side improves and spot prices remain high. In terms of futures and , the spot price is relatively high, but the current egg contract prices this year are at a relatively low level, so you can consider opening long positions on dips.

2. Arbitrage: The current 1-5 spread is at a historical low and has an upward trend. It is recommended to consider going long the 1-5 spread.(The above opinions are for reference only and are not used as a basis for entering the market)

白sugar

【Important Information】

1. Export data released by the Brazilian Foreign Trade Secretariat (Secex) showed that Brazil exported 1.9509 million tons of sugar in the first three weeks of August, with an average daily export volume of 130,100 tons, which was 11.58% higher than the average daily export volume in August last year. 10,000 tons increased by 12.33%. In August last year, Brazil's sugar export volume was 2.5473 million tons. Data released by

2.CFTC shows that as of the week of August 16, the net long positions of raw sugar held by hedge funds and large speculators rebounded from the previous low, with a week-on-week increase of 92% to 49,970 lots, of which many Both short positions and positions fell, long positions decreased by more than 2,000 lots, and short positions reduced by more than 20,000 lots. Previously, U.S. sugar hovered at a one-year low. At the low level, funds were not willing to add short positions, and then gradually closed short positions. With the large reduction in short positions, the net long position in U.S. sugar rebounded last week, but the long position still maintained a downward trend. , the overall bullish atmosphere remains weak.

3. Government agency Conab said in its second estimate for 2022/23 that sugarcane output in the main producing areas of central and southern China was expected to be just 514 million tons, compared with an April forecast of 539 million tons. This figure is lower than the 2021/22 production (525 million tons) affected by the worst drought in 90 years, and is the lowest level since 2011 when central and southern sugar mills crushed 493 million tons of sugar cane. Most independent analysts still put production in the south-central region of Brazil at between 545 and 560 million tons. Brokerage firm StoneX forecasts July sugarcane production at 557.5 million tons. With cane production falling sharply, the government expects sugar production in central and southern China to fall to 30.7 million tons, down 5.7 million tons from April's estimate and down from 32 million tons last year.

[Trading Strategy]

1. Unilateral: Brazil's sugar forecast is lower than market expectations, but the market hopes to wait for clearer guidance on Brazil's crop output, and raw sugar fluctuates slightly. The current market sentiment is pessimistic. Due to the impact of the epidemic during the double festival peak season, consumption may not show a significant improvement. Pay attention to the sales situation in the second half of the month, and futures prices are expected to be weak and volatile.

Cotton - Cotton Yarn

[External Disk Impact]

The main ICE US cotton contract fluctuated and ended lower overnight. The December contract fell 1.54 cents/pound (-1.35%) to 112.41 US dollars. cents/pound.

[Important information]

1, China Cotton Information Network News, the Agricultural Service (FAS) under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently released the latest cotton planting area data reported by cotton farmers. The cotton planting area in the United States is 13.5168 million acres, which is higher than the USDA monthly report in August ( 12.478 million acres), an increase of 1.0388 million acres, an increase of 8.33%. Specifically, the cotton planting area in each state has increased to varying degrees. Among them, the cotton planting area in Texas, the main cotton-producing area, is 7.754 million acres, an increase of 434,000 acres from the USDA monthly report in August (7.32 million acres), an increase of 5.93%. This area data is reported by cotton farmers and is mainly used as a reference for insurance and loans. It does not include other data such as harvested area and output. In the future, we need to continue to pay attention to the impact of weather conditions on production in the US cotton area.

2, China Cotton Information Network News, on August 22, affected by the surge in cotton prices, the Gujarat Textile Association and the Tamil Nadu Spinning Association in northern India announced that some textile factories affiliated to the associations would reduce cotton consumption and cut cotton yarn production or Discontinued. At present, 90% of the factories in Gujarat have closed down and stopped production. They are selling more early inventory to support the return of yarn prices on track and reduce the pressure of high factory operating costs. In this regard, the South India Spinning Association (SISPA) stated that factory production is difficult. It's the same thing in the south.

3. Since early August, more than 80% of cotton processing enterprises in southern Xinjiang have carried out equipment maintenance, fire protection and safety maintenance and debugging work, which is expected to be completed by the end of August to mid-September. Judging from the investigation in Kashgar, Aksu, Korla and Kuitun, only a few ginning plants have not been successfully subleased or contracted out. It is expected that these companies have less hope of opening scale acquisitions in the new year.Some cotton-related companies believe that at present, large cotton ginners have large inventories and tight capital flows, making it difficult to successfully achieve the "double knot of zero principal and interest" at the end of August. Most of the small ginners have got rid of the predicament they were in in the early stage, and some The cotton ginning factory in Nanjiang had already settled down before the end of May. Judging from the feedback, the number of cotton processing companies opened for purchase in Xinjiang in 2022/23 will not be significantly reduced compared to the previous year. In 2021/22, a total of 970 cotton processing companies in Xinjiang will participate in notarization inspections.

[Operational Suggestions]

1. Unilateral: Domestic cotton fundamentals are bearish and cotton supply is sufficient. However, even in the demand-side market, even after the epidemic prevention and control is relaxed and the price difference between domestic and foreign cotton is inverted, demand is still very poor, product inventory is high, and textile mills The start-up rate is low, the impact of Xinjiang cotton issues on demand is apparent, and domestic cotton is weak in the long term. Since the USDA report in August significantly increased the abandonment rate and even lowered the U.S. cotton production significantly than in 2011, U.S. cotton prices have strengthened significantly. However, in fact, the degree of drought in Texas is far less than that in 2011. U.S. cotton After the continuous sharp rise, the bullishness is basically released, and it may face a correction and decline in the later period. The domestic market is weak and US cotton is adjusting, so domestic Zheng cotton is also facing a downward adjustment. Cotton yarn follows the cotton market trend.

2. Arbitrage: internal and external arbitrage, short-term external strength and internal weakness.

3. Options: Consider selling call options at high . (The above opinions are for reference only and are not used as a basis for entering the market)

peanuts

[Important information]

The domestic peanut market ran smoothly and strongly yesterday. The quantity of goods shipped from each production area has gradually increased, but overall the supply is relatively limited. The price of Baisha peanuts has strengthened and the quotation has remained at 5.30-5.50 yuan/jin. The demand side purchases on demand and accepts deviations at high prices. As for Chen peanuts, due to the high price of new peanuts, the cold storage supply situation has improved slightly, with transaction prices remaining at 5.05-5.15 yuan/jin, and some prices are as low as 4.80-4.90 yuan/jin. The arrival volume of oil plants is limited, and the Luhua factory has basically no arrival and is in a state of complete shutdown. The transaction price of some factories is 8,600-9,000 yuan/ton; the arrival volume of COFCO imported rice remains stable.

Peanut Oil: The domestic peanut oil market is relatively stable as a whole. It is difficult for oil mills to raise prices, and there is room for profit making in actual shipments. The demand for and during the Mid-Autumn Festival is relatively weak. Customers in the south have basically finished picking up goods, while customers in the north have not yet started to replenish their stocks. The startup rate of domestic peanut oil companies is low, and the overall supply and demand pattern is obvious. In terms of price, the current domestic quoted price for first-grade ordinary peanut oil is 16,000 yuan/ton; the market price for small pressed strong-flavor peanut oil varies, with the mainstream quoted price being 18,000 yuan/ton.

[Operational Suggestions]

Unilateral: The spot price has been strong recently, and the market is expected to be more volatile. The peanuts currently on the market are spring peanuts from Henan, and the reduced production is summer peanuts from Henan, Shandong and other places and spring peanuts from Northeast China. The output is still not quantified, and there is still room for upside in the future. It is recommended to place long 01 orders on dips.

month difference: The 10 contract is the delivery of old peanuts, causing futures to return to the spot. In view of the price difference between old and new peanuts, the 10-1 price difference may go lower. There are now signs of moving positions to another month, because the price of old peanuts this year is on the high side, but it will not go out of the -800 price difference last year. The current position remains volatile, and we remain on the sidelines for the time being.

period current strategy: The basis difference is around -250, but there is still room for growth in the peanut market, and you can choose a higher point to operate at the right time. Stay on the sidelines for now.
