焦炭现货价格总体稳定，焦化厂第八轮提涨遭遇钢厂抵制。港口准一级冶金湿焦出库价维持在1480元／ 吨左右，山西准一级湿焦出厂价约1330元／吨。尽管钢厂对捣固焦高价接受度不高，但受河北区域限 产、外采增加及货运等因素影响，前期现货涨价最终落地。随着钢厂限产推进，其对焦炭涨价的抵制意 愿增强，后续需重点关注钢焦企业之间的博弈，以及焦煤供应实际变化。 进口量增加促使焦煤供应环比回升。近期部分煤矿收紧产量，导致短期供应偏紧。据钢联数据，523家 煤矿产能利用率小幅下滑1.2个百分点，原煤日产量减少2.6万吨，预计国庆节前主产区产量难以明显恢 复。中期仍需关注超产整顿带来的不确定性。另外，8月蒙煤通关维持高位，9月海运煤进口预计继续增 加，焦煤总体供应呈上行趋势。 近期，受基本面压制，双焦价格出现调整。短期来看，在供给端扰动有限、需求端疲软背景下，双焦仍 存调整风险，但考虑到国庆节前补库需求、成材旺季预期以及海外降息带动市场风险偏好回升，预计后 市双焦下行空间或有限，整体以偏弱震荡运行为主。 现货价格方面，焦煤市场近期出现松动，流拍率上升，主要因河北地区焦钢企业限产期间持货意愿降 低。不过，其他区域企业盈利尚可，开工积 ...

近期，在基本面边际改善的影响下，鸡蛋期现货市场同步出现触底反弹行情。9月3日，鸡蛋期货主力合 约JD2510日内上涨2.62%。 "近期鸡蛋现货价格出现明显反弹，其中河北馆陶蛋价自低点上涨0.3元/斤，其他地区蛋价也出现不同程 度上涨，期货价格跟随现货出现触底反弹行情。"一德期货生鲜畜牧产业分析师侯晓瑞表示。 究其原因，侯晓瑞表示，由于前期蛋价表现不及预期，市场淘汰鸡增多，供应边际有所改善，叠加季节 性旺季来临，食品加工企业采购鸡蛋意向有所提升，且部分地区气温开始下降，鸡蛋存储时间较前期有 所延长，多因素推动蛋价出现季节性反弹行情。 在五矿期货农产品分析师王俊看来，近期鸡蛋期货价格自低位反弹，是资金面、基本面及现货涨价共同 作用的结果。他解释说，前期鸡蛋期价自7月底开始下跌，总持仓一度超过110万手，创历史新高，但过 高的持仓及随后带来的平仓动作也加大了价格反向波动的可能。 从基本面看，王俊介绍说，8月市场"旺季不旺"的结果是淘鸡量明显增多，鸡龄下降，有助于缓解供应 端的压力。与此同时，8月份市场较为悲观，备货需求受到抑制，需求后置并与当前的消费旺季重叠， 放大了短期的备货需求，令近期现货市场出现反弹。 据王 ...

Core Viewpoint - The soda ash futures market has entered a new downward trend, with a decline of over 8% in the 2601 contract since August 15, 2023, despite a temporary easing of supply pressure due to seasonal maintenance [1] Supply Analysis - The traditional maintenance season for soda ash is in summer, leading to a significant decline in domestic supply recently. However, long-term supply pressure remains due to high weekly production levels, the resumption of previously maintained facilities, and new production plans [1] - As of August 28, 2023, weekly soda ash production was 719,100 tons, a decrease of 6.78% month-on-month but an increase of 6.77% year-on-year. The capacity utilization rate was 82.47%, down 6.01 percentage points month-on-month but up 1.68 percentage points year-on-year [1] - Short-term production is expected to increase due to higher operating rates at natural soda ash plants, although some previously maintained facilities face high production costs and challenges in resuming operations. Overall, supply is expected to continue growing in the short term, while medium to long-term supply pressure remains significant due to reduced maintenance in the fall and steady new capacity additions [1] Cost and Pricing Dynamics - Since the beginning of the year, production costs for soda ash have decreased. From 2025 onwards, the price of raw salt has significantly dropped, with a 25% decline noted in early September [2] - The theoretical production costs for soda ash in East and North China are between 1,250 to 1,270 RMB per ton, with current spot prices nearing the cost line. Earlier in the year, soda ash futures prices fell below the production cost line, reaching a low of 1,147 RMB per ton, but recent policy changes may provide some support to production costs [2] Demand Outlook - The solar photovoltaic industry has indicated a need for better industry regulation and quality standards, which may support future demand for soda ash used in solar glass production. Additionally, the float glass sector has seen increased production capacity, which could further drive soda ash demand [3] - As of September 1, 2023, total inventory of soda ash in domestic manufacturers was 1,819,300 tons, a decrease of 4,820 tons week-on-week, indicating a potential for reduced inventory levels [3] - The overall shipment volume of soda ash was 762,300 tons last week, reflecting a 1.06% increase month-on-month, with an overall shipment rate of 106.02%, up 8.23 percentage points [3] - In the short term, demand for soda ash is expected to improve, supported by cost stabilization, while in the medium to long term, the industry remains in an expansion phase, leading to ongoing supply and inventory pressures [3]

Core Viewpoint - The domestic pure benzene market is experiencing a downward trend due to increased production, rising import pressures, and weakened downstream demand, leading to expectations of continued price declines in the future [1][4]. Group 1: Import Dynamics - The import volume of pure benzene in China has significantly increased, with a 56.19% year-on-year rise in the first half of 2025, totaling 2.7306 million tons [2]. - South Korea's exports of pure benzene to China surged by 62,000 tons, marking a 79% increase, while exports to the U.S. plummeted by 90% [2]. - It is projected that China's total pure benzene imports for the year will exceed 5 million tons, driven primarily by imports from South Korea [2]. Group 2: Domestic Supply Trends - Domestic pure benzene production has seen a slight increase, with a production capacity utilization rate of 79.18% and a production volume of 451,900 tons, reflecting a 0.24% increase [3]. - Despite a decrease in production profits to 671 yuan per ton, the overall profitability of the industry remains high, allowing for continued production plans [3]. - The absence of new large-scale maintenance in September and the potential commissioning of new facilities suggest ongoing supply pressure in the domestic market [3]. Group 3: Downstream Demand - Weak terminal demand has led to continued losses in the main downstream products of pure benzene, including styrene and phenol, with some products transitioning from profit to loss [4]. - The average loss margin for the five main downstream products has narrowed, but overall, the demand for pure benzene is expected to decline further [4]. - The anticipated maintenance of styrene facilities is likely to negatively impact pure benzene consumption, contributing to increased inventory pressure [4].
