Chapter 446: Demand is not strong
At 1:30 p.m., Xia Xiaona, who was asleep, was woken up by the alarm clock.
When she got up and looked for the car keys to get ready to go to work, she remembered to take out the gifts she brought back from Shanghai to her parents in the suitcase, and saw that her parents were still on the lunch break, she tiptoed to put these gifts on the coffee table, and then opened the door and went downstairs to work.
After the afternoon closing, Ma Tianming stood up from the desk, and while walking back and forth in the center of the room, moving his numb legs slightly, he twisted his stiff waist from side to side. Compared with the worried mood during the May Day holiday, his mood is much better now.
Although there is still a big gap between today's futures price increase and his own expectations, if you look at today's trend, you should be able to expect it to continue to rise. As long as the upward trend is confirmed, in a few days, the losses of those goods in hand will be wiped out.
He is now even a little ridiculous that his belly is too small, and in the days of the May Day holiday, he will be overwhelmed by the upside down difference between purchase and sales of 230 yuan per ton.
Today, he has been staring at the futures price trend on the computer screen almost all the time in his office, and it is easy to see from the futures price chart that only two months ago in early March, the price of sugar futures had reached a high of 4,800 yuan.
At that time, the price of sugar can rise to 4,800 yuan, so when it comes to the sales season in the second half of the year, will the price be lower than that time?
Compared with the price of 4800 yuan, the purchase price of 4120 yuan is actually very low, which is the fundamental reason why I dare to purchase in this position. But with the fall in prices, it was because of the floating loss of the goods in his hands, and the fear made him forget his original intention.
And from the point of view of time, it is only the beginning of May, and the reason why sugar prices appear to be a little sluggish at this time is actually because the situation this year is somewhat special, sugar prices have skyrocketed in early March, and it is at the time of the pullback from the peak to the trough.
Based on past sales experience, sugar prices at the beginning of May should have been in the upper middle of the year. At this time, the price of sugar is at such a low level, which just shows that it is very advantageous. So no matter what way you look at it, in the next two or three months, sugar prices will continue to rise.
After thinking about these things clearly, he regained his confidence and walked out of the office to the sales department to go around, and saw that several district managers under his command were busy calling and contacting the wagons according to their morning deployment, and shipping goods to the sales markets outside the province, he thought: These people are still able to do things, and it is estimated that it will take about a week for all the goods in the warehouse to be sent outside the province, and at that time, the price of sugar should also rise.
Seeing that everything in the company was going on step by step, Ma Tianming had nothing to do, so he quietly ran downstairs and drove into the car to go shopping around the electronic street on Xiyuan Road. There, he picked and chose from the vendor, bought a few CDs of adult movies, and prepared to take them back to watch with his wife tonight.
He's now found a trick, these adult movies are like a kind of flavoring, and the already boring things between him and his wife are brought to life again.
Not only has his original slightly narrow imagination space been completely opened, but his wife also seems to have been greatly inspired, and the original Mu Ne's behavior has changed a lot, which makes Ma Tianming get a different kind of enjoyment.
During the May Day holiday, he was extremely depressed, and he relied on these adult movies to pass the time with his wife at night and be happy.
By the time he got home from Electronic Street, it was almost 7:00 p.m., and his wife had already made dinner at home and was waiting for him to come back.
After Ma Tianming entered the house, he stuffed the bag in his hand under the coffee table, picked up the rice bowl and ate it.
After dinner, while his wife went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, Ma Tianming hurriedly ran to the bathroom to take a shower, then put on pajamas and came to the living room, took out the bag from under the coffee table, turned out a disc and stuffed it into the DVD player.
As soon as his wife came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, Ma Tianming said, "Go take a bath, come and watch the discs after taking a shower." ”
As soon as his wife heard this, she knew what Ma Tianming was going to do next. She said yes, went into the bedroom and picked out the thinnest pajamas, and then took the pajamas into the bathroom to shower.
More than 10 minutes later, when she came out of the bathroom, the living room was dim, the lights had been turned off by Ma Tianming, and there was only a little light on the TV screen in the whole living room.
Ma Tianming was reclining on the sofa, looking at the picture on the screen with relish. She walked over and sat beside Ma Tianming and complained: "I don't know how to wait for others, hurry up and look back from the beginning." ”
Ma Tianming pulled her hand over and put it in the key part and said, "The beginning part is not interesting, this is the most exciting, let's start from here." ”
That night, Ma Tianming and his wife tossed and turned while watching TV in the dark living room, and it was not until more than 10 o'clock in the evening that the exhausted two went to bed.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ma Tianming woke up and found a pain in his lower back. At this time, he became alert, and it turned out that the pain in his lower back in the office yesterday was not because he sat for too long, but because of the crazy tossing of himself and his wife during the May Day holiday.
When he was about to go out after breakfast, he instructed his wife, "Make a fried kidney flower in the evening." ”
His wife lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Okay." "Her husband is willing to spend energy on her, she can't ask for it, even if Ma Tianming doesn't tell her about this kind of thing, she will think of a way to nourish Ma Tianming.
After coming to the office, Ma Tianming made a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and then sat quietly in front of the computer and waited for the futures market to open.
To say that the opening trend of futures prices really lived up to Ma Tianming's expectations. The futures price opened slightly higher at a price of 3,980 yuan, and then gradually rose, reaching a maximum of 4,007 yuan within 5 minutes.
Just when Ma Tianming was expecting that the price of sugar would continue to rise from yesterday's trend, the time-sharing curve on the screen began to fall lower and lower. By the time it closed at noon, the price had fallen to 3,938 yuan.
After the afternoon opened, the futures price fluctuated back and forth at 3,940 yuan for more than 10 minutes, and then came a wave of rapid decline of more than 20 yuan, and the price quickly returned to the line of 3,915 yuan.
In this position, the price of sugar began to move sideways again, and did not launch a rising offensive again until the close, and the final closing price was 3907 yuan, which was only a line away from today's lowest price of 3903 yuan.
Today's long black candle almost swallowed up all the gains of yesterday's white candle.
"What's the situation? Could it be that yesterday's rise was really just a day trip?" Ma Tianming muttered.
The little hope that was finally ignited yesterday has now disappeared again, and he wandered around the room for a while, and ran upstairs to find Li Xin.
Walking into Li Xin's office, Ma Tianming pretended to be casual and asked, "Where did you go to play during the holidays?"
"A trip to Shanghai, what about you?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed at home. ”
"Why don't you go out for a walk?" Li Xin dealt with him while busy with the things at hand.
"Hey, it's crowded everywhere, it's not interesting. He walked up to Li Xin, took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Xin.
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "You smoke it, I'll smoke it later." ”
Ma Tianming lit his own cigarette, and then asked casually, "Have you paid attention to today's sugar prices?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Yesterday's rally was not bad, but today it is a long black candlestick, and it almost swallowed up all of yesterday's gains. It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the trend at this time, so let's see, what is the reason?"
"Really? I'll take a look. Li Xin said, opened the futures market software, and called up the sucrose price chart.
Ma Tianming pointed to the computer screen and said to Li Xin: "Look, this is it." ”
Li Xin took a closer look: "I can't say why it will fall today, maybe it's because the economic situation is not very good this year, and the demand is generally sluggish." ”
Ma Tianming asked puzzledly: "Will the demand be sluggish this year? Even if the snowstorm at the beginning of the year did not cause a significant reduction in sugar production, the overall supply and demand situation this year is slightly tighter than last year. ”
Li Xin explained: "What I am talking about is that the economy is generally relatively sluggish, in this context, even from the perspective of industry data, the supply and demand of cane sugar this year is still slightly tighter than last year, but because of the downturn in the economic environment this year, it is not surprising that sugar prices cannot rise." ”
"How do you know that the economic environment is not good this year?"
Li Xin explained: "Isn't it said that the stock market is a barometer of the economy? ”
"I've seen it, I've been staring at the market software for the past two days, hasn't the stock market been rising since late April?"
"It's just a flash in the pan, and it won't be long before it continues to fall. Li Xin said with certainty.
"Does the rise and fall of the stock market really have an impact on the price of sugar?"
"Of course. ”
Ma Tianming took the mouse in Li Xin's hand, shrunk the sugar price chart on the computer screen, and then pointed to the graph and asked: "But look here, when the stock market rose to 6,100 points in November last year, the price of sugar was only 4,200 yuan." However, in March this year, in the process of the stock market falling sharply, the price of sugar rose to 4,800 yuan, which is higher than the price of sugar when the stock market was at its peak last year. Judging from these two charts, the rise and fall of the stock market seems to have little to do with the rise and fall of sugar prices. And here, during the Spring Festival the year before last, the price of sugar used to reach a high of 6,100 yuan, but during the Spring Festival the year before last, the stock market was still very sluggish, right?"
