  The "2018 Cotton Futures and Options Forum," hosted by Nan Hua Futures, co-organized by Tongzhou Cotton, and specially supported by Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, was successfully held on December 8th at the Zhengzhou Mercure Hotel. Mr. Wei Gangmin, Chairman of our company, was present. Mr. Li Tao, Assistant President and General Manager of the Sales Company, delivered a welcome address and expressed sincere gratitude for everyone's care, support, and affection for Tongzhou over the years. The forum focused on the macroeconomic environment under the US-China trade war, the current production and sales situation of downstream yarn and cloth, cotton option contract rules, and how cotton companies can use futures and options for risk management. More than 200 representatives from cotton-related enterprises across the country attended the forum.

  Mr. Zhang Yiwei, Director of the Beijing Branch of Nan Hua Futures Research Institute, elaborated on the impact of the global economic environment under the US-China trade war on bulk commodities from a macroeconomic perspective. He believes that the global monetary environment is tightening, the lower limit of global inflation next year is rising, the "three high" physique of the US economy has entered a dangerous period, and China's potential growth rate is insufficient, with debt being the most prominent issue at present. He anticipates room for a rebound in industrial products next year, while the volatility of the entire commodity market will increase.

  Mr. Zheng Shengwei, Senior Manager of Huarui Information and Senior Textile Industry Consultant, mainly analyzed the operation and transmission of the downstream yarn and cloth industry chain since the US-China trade war. He believes that the trend of shrinking domestic and international terminal demand has already formed, and the downward space for cotton yarn prices is temporarily affected by cost support. The recovery of long-term market demand will not be clear until March next year.

  Ms. Zhao Nana, General Manager of our company's Investment and Research Department and International Business Department, gave a special report on "Introduction to Cotton Options." She focused on a detailed explanation of cotton option contract rules and the factors influencing premiums, and conducted an in-depth analysis of the four basic strategies and settlement methods of options.

  Mr. Gao Guoying, Cotton Business Department Manager of Zhejiang Nan Hua Capital Management Co., Ltd., conducted an in-depth analysis from the perspective of combining spot and futures trading using practical case studies. He provided a detailed explanation of how cotton textile companies can use cotton futures and options to manage price fluctuation risks.

  This forum was rich in content, with insightful and wonderful presentations by the guests, and was full of valuable information. It received unanimous praise from the participants.
