Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoint - The short - term view on TL2512 is "oscillation", the medium - term view is "oscillation", and the intraday view is "oscillating weakly", with an overall view of "oscillation". The core logic is that the long - term expectation of interest rate cuts still exists, but the possibility of a short - term comprehensive interest rate cut is low [1]. - For TL, T, TF, and TS, the intraday view is "oscillating weakly", the medium - term view is "oscillation", and the reference view is "oscillation". The short - term uncertainty of the tariff war is strong, and the market is in a wait - and - see state. In the short term, the domestic economic data shows strong resilience, and the need for a comprehensive interest rate cut is insufficient. In the long run, due to the problem of insufficient effective domestic demand, there is an expectation of a loose monetary policy, which supports the Treasury bond futures. Overall, Treasury bond futures will maintain a bottom - oscillating pattern in the short term [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Variety Viewpoint Reference - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - **TL2512**: Short - term "oscillation", medium - term "oscillation", intraday "oscillating weakly", overall "oscillation". Core logic: Long - term interest rate cut expectation exists, short - term comprehensive interest rate cut possibility is low [1]. Main Variety Price Market Driving Logic - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - **TL, T, TF, TS**: Intraday "oscillating weakly", medium - term "oscillation", reference view "oscillation". Yesterday, Treasury bond futures closed slightly lower. Short - term tariff war uncertainty, strong domestic economic data resilience, insufficient short - term need for comprehensive interest rate cut, weak implicit interest rate cut expectation, lack of upward momentum for Treasury bond futures. Long - term insufficient effective domestic demand, expectation of loose monetary policy, strong support for Treasury bond futures. Short - term bottom - oscillating pattern [5].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Report's Core View - The short - term, medium - term, and intraday views of soybean meal 2601, soybean oil 2601, and palm oil 2601 are all "oscillating weakly" [6]. - The market sentiment of the soybean meal, soybean oil, and palm oil futures is unstable, and the prices are expected to oscillate weakly in the short - term [5][6][7]. 3. Summary by Variety Soybean Meal (M) - **View**: Short - term: oscillating; Medium - term: oscillating; Intraday: oscillating weakly; Reference view: oscillating weakly [5][6]. - **Core Logic**: Uncertainties in Sino - US trade relations, including potential tariff increases and negotiation uncertainties, combined with the contradiction between high near - month inventory and expected far - month supply gaps in the domestic market, have weakened the support for the futures price of the soybean meal 2601 contract. The market sentiment is volatile, leading to a short - term weakly oscillating price [5]. - **Key Factors**: Sino - US relations, import arrival rhythm, oil mill operation rhythm, and inventory pressure [6]. Palm Oil (P) - **View**: Short - term: oscillating; Medium - term: oscillating; Intraday: oscillating weakly; Reference view: oscillating weakly [6][7]. - **Core Logic**: The continuous downward pressure on international oil prices has an overflow effect on the oil market. Meanwhile, the weakening of the palm oil industry chain exerts significant pressure on the market. The possible increase in Indonesia's palm oil export tax may affect market sentiment. Until the market sentiment recovers, the palm oil futures price will oscillate weakly [7]. - **Key Factors**: Biodiesel properties, Malaysian palm production and exports, Indonesian exports, main producing countries' tariff policies, domestic arrival and inventory, and substitution demand [6]. Soybean Oil (not separately detailed in the text but included in the table) - **View**: Short - term: oscillating; Medium - term: oscillating; Intraday: oscillating weakly; Reference view: oscillating weakly [6]. - **Key Factors**: Sino - US relations, US biofuel policy, US soybean oil inventory, domestic soybean cost support, supply rhythm, and oil mill inventory [6].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The stock index is expected to maintain wide - range fluctuations in the short term due to the game between profit - taking sentiment and policy support. In the medium term, it is expected to rise as the inflow trend of funds into A - shares remains unchanged and policy support is strong [1][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Variety View Reference - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - For IH2512, the short - term view is "oscillation", the medium - term view is "rise", the intraday view is "oscillation with a slight upward bias", and the overall view is "wide - range oscillation". The core logic is the conflict between short - term profit - taking willingness of funds and the fermentation of long - and medium - term policy - favorable expectations [1]. Main Variety Price Market Driving Logic - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - For IF, IH, IC, and IM, the intraday view is "oscillation with a slight upward bias", the medium - term view is "rise", and the reference view is "wide - range oscillation". Yesterday, all stock indexes oscillated and rebounded. The total trading volume of the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing stock markets was 2.0904 trillion yuan, a decrease of 506.2 billion yuan from the previous day.

In the short term, there are external uncertainties and high valuation levels, leading to technical correction pressure. In the long - and medium - term, policy support is strong due to issues such as insufficient domestic demand and external tariff disturbances [5].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating provided in the report 2. Core View - The short - term view on Iron Ore 2601 is bearish, the medium - term view is sideways, and the intraday view is sideways with a weak bias. It is recommended to pay attention to the pressure at the MA5 line, as industry concerns are fermenting and the ore price is under downward pressure [1] 3. Summary by Relevant Content Market Driving Logic - The supply - demand pattern of iron ore is weakening. Although the terminal consumption of ore remains high and the rigid demand is good, which supports the ore price, the contradictions in the steel market are accumulating, industry concerns are fermenting, and the positive effect of demand is weakening. Meanwhile, the arrival of ore at domestic ports is high, miners' shipments remain at a high level, overseas ore supply is active at high prices, and domestic ore supply has recovered, increasing the supply pressure. Currently, the ore supply is increasing, industry concerns are fermenting, the positive effect of ore demand is weakening, the fundamentals of the ore market are starting to deteriorate, and the over - valued ore price will be under downward pressure. However, due to the high - level rigid demand for ore, there is resistance to the downward movement. A subsequent downward trend will require steel mills to cut production, and attention should be paid to the performance of steel products [2]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term view of rebar 2601 is weak shock, the medium - term view is shock, and the intraday view is also weak shock. Attention should be paid to the pressure at the MA5 line, with the steel price seeking the bottom weakly due to poor fundamentals [1] - The rebar fundamentals continue to be weak. In the situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of rebar are not good, and it is expected that the steel price will continue the trend of seeking the bottom weakly [2] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Variety Viewpoint Reference - For rebar 2601, the short - term is weak shock, the medium - term is shock, and the intraday is weak shock. The reference view is to pay attention to the pressure at the MA5 line, and the core logic is that the fundamentals are poor and the steel price is seeking the bottom weakly [1] Market Driving Logic - The rebar fundamentals continue to be weak. The production of construction steel mills is weakening, supply is shrinking to a low level, but the kinetic energy of production reduction in the peak season is doubtful, and the inventory is relatively high, so the positive effect is limited. The demand for rebar is also poor, high - frequency indicators are declining weakly, and the downstream shows no improvement. The peak season is expected to be lackluster. Under the situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of rebar are poor, and the steel price is expected to continue the trend of seeking the bottom weakly. Attention should be paid to the rebar supply - demand data released by Steel Union today [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - Today, all stock indices oscillated and rebounded. The total trading volume of the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing stock markets was 2.0904 trillion yuan, a decrease of 506.2 billion yuan from the previous day. The volume - shrinking rebound of the stock market reflects that the overall market sentiment remains optimistic, with funds entering the market on dips after corrections, and the downside space for stock indices is limited. At the same time, it also shows that funds chasing higher near the previous high points remain relatively cautious [4]. - In the short term, the tariff war has resurfaced, and external uncertainties have increased before November. Coupled with the current relatively high valuation level, investors' willingness to take profits has risen, and there is short - term technical correction pressure. In the medium to long term, the problem of insufficient effective domestic demand still exists, and the disturbance of external tariff factors still remains. There are strong expectations for policy - makers to stabilize the macro - fundamentals, and the expectation of policy benefits forms strong support for the stock indices. The trend of net capital inflow into the A - share market remains unchanged, so the stock indices have strong medium - to - long - term support. Overall, under the game between profit - taking sentiment and policy support, the stock indices are expected to maintain wide - range oscillations in the short term [4]. - Currently, the implied volatility of options remains relatively stable. Considering the medium - to - long - term upward trend of the stock indices, investors can continue to hold bull spreads or covered calls [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Rebar**: The main contract price of rebar oscillated downward with a daily decline of 0.85%. The fundamentals are weak, with industrial contradictions accumulating, high inventory de - stocking pressure under weak demand, and steel prices under pressure. Cost support is a relative positive factor. It is expected that steel prices will continue to oscillate and find the bottom, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4][35]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated weakly, with a daily decline of 0.86%. Currently, supply is high, demand has potential risks, industrial contradictions are accumulating, inventory de - stocking pressure is large, and prices are under pressure. There is a need to guard against the intensification of industrial contradictions caused by weakening demand, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4][35]. - **Iron ore**: The main contract price of iron ore trended weakly, with a daily decline of 1.46%. Supply pressure remains, market sentiment has weakened, and high - valued ore prices have declined under pressure. However, high - level rigid demand for ore provides support, and there is resistance to downward movement. Before steel mills reduce production, ore prices are expected to continue to oscillate at a high level, and attention should be paid to steel performance [4][36]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Industry Dynamics - **CPI and PPI in September**: The core CPI's year - on - year increase continued to expand, and the year - on - year decline of PPI continued to narrow.

Supply is at a high level and inventory is high, while demand has potential risks. The price is under pressure, and attention should be paid to demand performance [35] - **Iron ore**: Supply and demand have changed. Demand is still okay, but the positive effect may weaken. Supply pressure has increased. Before steel mills reduce production, ore prices are expected to continue to oscillate at a high level, with attention paid to steel performance [36]
