20240317-中泰期货-苹果市场表现与基本面周度报告_11页

Apple market performance and fundamentals as of March 17, 2024:

• Production areas: Eastern regions show slow outbound shipments, with declining prices in Shandong (e.g., Qixia at 425 yuan/jin) due to inferior goods demand; western regions experience high demand for quality apples, leading to price increases (e.g., Luo川 at 425 yuan/jin). Export orders for small/low-quality fruits increase.

• Sales areas: Fruit wholesale prices are generally stable or decreasing, with apple demand remaining weak in sales zones; comparisons with other fruits like citrus indicate apple is less favored.

• Futures market: Data shows firm holding and trading activity, reflecting potential price movements but no clear trend shift.

• Prediction: With清明 preparation starting in late March, sales may increase, but middle to lower-grade apples face greater pressure due to supply factors.

Key points based on report analysis: 3月 is traditionally slow for apple sales, but demand may rise post-Ming.
