今日午后，玻璃和纯碱期价快速上行。截至下午收盘，玻璃期货主力2601合约报1237元/吨，涨幅4.74%；纯碱期货主力2601合约报1307元/吨， 涨幅2.27%。期货日报记者在采访中了解到，今日玻璃和纯碱期价上涨，既源于传统旺季需求的支撑，也受供应端消息的影响。 图为玻璃期货主力2601合约走势 "玻璃期货今日的大涨是意料之外的，也是情理之中的。"河北望美实业期货部负责人霍东凯表示，玻璃生产企业自年初起便持续处于亏损状 态，行业"内卷"严重，市场普遍期待行业在"反内卷"号召下实现重塑。 记者了解到，当前，各玻璃厂家正通过主动提价维护市场信心，部分激进厂家甚至单次上调现货价格100元/吨。受访人士普遍认为，这种提价 行为短期内产生了明显的传导效应，未涨价区域的下游企业为应对节前备货需求，补库情绪被拉动，进而带动全国范围内的现货涨价氛围。 不过，霍东凯也表示，玻璃现货基本面依旧偏弱，趋势性反转时机尚未成熟。在他看来，后期走势的核心影响因素有三点：产能能否加速退 出、四季度需求能否改善、市场信心能否有效恢复。若四季度产能收缩、赶工需求如期而至且市场信心回升，玻璃价格有望迎来良性修复。 图为纯碱期货主力2601合 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent adjustment of Argentina's export tax policy has led to a significant decline in domestic soybean product prices, with expectations of increased imports from Argentina affecting the market dynamics in China [1][2]. Group 1: Argentina's Export Tax Policy - On September 22, the Argentine government announced the cancellation of export tariffs on soybeans, grains, and their products until October 31, reducing soybean export tariffs from 26% to zero and those on soybean oil and meal from 24.5% to zero [1][2]. - The policy has a cap of $7 billion on the total tax exemption, which will be suspended once this limit is reached [1]. Group 2: Impact on Chinese Market - Analysts predict that the zero tariff on Argentine soybeans could lower the CNF price for November shipments to $2.00 per bushel, making it approximately $0.70 per bushel cheaper than Brazilian soybeans, translating to a cost reduction of about 200 yuan per ton [1][2]. - Following the announcement, Chinese oil mills have reportedly begun purchasing 10 to 15 shipments of Argentine soybeans [1]. Group 3: Changes in Import Dynamics - Historically, China has imported limited quantities of Argentine oil and meal, with almost no soybean meal imports and only a few thousand tons of soybean oil [2]. - The price advantage of Argentine soybeans may lead to a shift in China's import patterns, increasing competition in the South American oil and meal market and posing challenges to U.S. soybean production [2]. Group 4: Domestic Supply and Demand - As of mid-September, Argentina had exported 8.76 million tons of soybeans in 2025, significantly higher than the 4.5 million tons exported during the same period last year, with an expected additional export of 2 to 3 million tons by year-end [2]. - The domestic soybean market is experiencing a supply gap, with the expectation that increased imports of Argentine soybeans could fill this gap, particularly in the first quarter of 2026 [2][3]. Group 5: Market Outlook - The domestic soybean meal market is expected to remain under pressure due to high inventory levels and the anticipated increase in imports of Argentine soybeans and meal [4]. - Analysts suggest that the demand for soybean meal remains strong due to high livestock and poultry inventory levels, but the overall market may experience downward pressure on prices due to increased supply from domestic production and imports [4].

需求方面，四季度光伏需求也不乐观。"三季度受出口退税取消预期、印度下调光伏电池及新能源设备 的GST税率等因素影响，国内企业再度'抢出口'透支了部分四季度的需求。"孙伟东表示，"抢出口"预期 持续到10月。国内方面，四季度组件订单大多取决于今年4月至9月的组件招投标情况。据SMM数据，4 月至9月组件定标量为35.61GW，同比下降67%。 终端需求不乐观，叠加成本上涨压力，部分头部企业计划减产。从单月数据来看，9月预计多晶硅产量 超过13万吨，下游硅片产量在59GW左右，整体供过于求，企业面临累库压力。"限产政策落实不及预 期，且限销政策已经开始执行，使多晶硅单月供应趋紧。"孙伟东解释。 从现货成交情况来看，中信建投期货分析师刘佳奇表示，虽然限销政策导致多晶硅现货供应偏紧，并增 强了硅料厂的挺价意愿，但从实际成交情况来看，下游厂商对高价货源的接受度不高，加之行业隐性库 存偏高，进一步抑制了下游采购需求，基本面出现走弱迹象。不过，当前政策工具充足，市场信心仍有 修复的空间，后续需关注西南地区枯水期的减产情况。 "多晶硅价格近期下跌，是因为相关政策推进不及预期，当前价格已回吐大部分政策预期溢价，下游企 业也在三 ...
