Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term view of the stock index is wide - range oscillation, the medium - term view is upward, and the intraday view is oscillating strongly [1][5]. - The core logic is the game between the short - term profit - taking intention of funds and the long - and medium - term policy positive expectation fermentation [1][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Variety Viewpoint Reference - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector | Variety | Short - term | Medium - term | Intraday | Viewpoint Reference | Core Logic Summary | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | IH2512 | Oscillation | Rise | Oscillating strongly | Wide - range oscillation | Short - term profit - taking intention of funds VS long - and medium - term policy positive expectation fermentation [1] | 3.2 Main Variety Price Market Driving Logic - Financial Futures Stock Index Sector - **Viewpoints**: The intraday view is oscillating strongly, the medium - term view is upward, and the reference view is wide - range oscillation [5]. - **Core Logic**: Yesterday, each stock index oscillated and sorted in a narrow range. The total turnover of the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing stock markets was 230.31 billion yuan, a decrease of 24.52 billion yuan compared with the previous day. The newly released credit data is weak, reflecting the weak financing demand of the real sector. Coupled with the weak inflation data in August and the marginal slowdown of the consumption growth rate, the expectation of introducing policies to stabilize demand in the future is strong, and the policy positive expectation will gradually ferment in the fourth quarter. In terms of funds, the year - on - year increase in non - bank deposits in July and August indicates that the asset allocation direction of social wealth has begun to change, and the stock market attracts incremental funds to flow in; the margin balance also remains high, indicating that leveraged funds are still net buyers. The policy positive expectation and the trend of continuous capital inflow into the stock market still support the stock index in the long and medium term. However, due to the significant increase in the valuation of some stocks in the early stage, there is still the intention of profit - taking by profitable funds, which also leads to short - term technical adjustment pressure. The game between the profit - taking rhythm of funds and the fermentation of policy expectations should be focused on [5].

Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term and medium - term trends of both gold and copper are expected to rise, with an intraday view of being oscillating and bullish, and a short - term strong outlook [1] - For gold, the approaching US interest rate cuts, rising geopolitical tensions, and strong upward momentum are the main reasons for the positive outlook [1][3] - For copper, the approaching Fed rate - cut expectations, positive macro - environment, the approaching industry peak season, and the increase in trading volume and price are the driving factors for the positive view [1][4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Gold - **Price and Market Performance**: Last night, the price of gold strengthened. New York gold reached above the $3700 mark, and Shanghai gold touched the 840 - yuan mark. Since the Jackson Hole meeting on August 22, gold prices have been on an upward trend, breaking through the high of the oscillation range since the second quarter of this year [3] - **Driving Factors**: Geopolitical tensions have increased due to the potential secondary tariffs on China and Russia by Europe and the US, which is beneficial to gold prices. In the long - term, the approaching US interest rate cuts and the upward momentum are the main reasons. Keep an eye on the China - US - Spain economic and trade talks and the Fed's interest - rate meeting. The short - term upward momentum is strong, and attention can be paid to the support of the 5 - day moving average [3] Copper - **Price and Market Performance**: Last night, copper prices increased with rising trading volume, and the main futures price reached above the 81,000 - yuan mark. There is a potential to break through the oscillation range since the second quarter [4] - **Driving Factors**: Macro - level: The approaching Fed interest - rate meeting has increased rate - cut expectations, weakening the US dollar and leading to a general rise in non - ferrous metals. The domestic "anti - involution" market is emerging, creating a positive resonance of domestic and foreign macro - factors. Industry - level: Although it is currently a situation of strong expectation and weak reality, and the social inventory of electrolytic copper increased slightly on Monday, the pre - National Day stocking demand may support copper prices [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - **Copper**: Today, copper prices rebounded after hitting a low in the morning and fluctuated upwards during the day. The overall open interest increased slightly, and the main contract price touched the 81,000 mark again at the end of the session. Overseas interest rate cut expectations are rising, and the approaching September FOMC meeting is positive for copper prices. However, the slight increase in inventory on Monday is negative for futures prices. Technically, pay attention to the long - short battle at the 81,000 mark [5]. - **Aluminum**: Today, aluminum prices rebounded after hitting a low in the morning and fluctuated during the day. The open interest changed little. Overseas interest rate cut expectations are rising, and the approaching September FOMC meeting is positive for aluminum prices. The slight increase in social inventory on Monday is negative for futures prices. In the short term, aluminum prices may fall after rising. Pay attention to the support at the 21,000 mark [6]. - **Nickel**: Today, Shanghai nickel decreased in open interest and declined. Overseas interest rate cut expectations are rising, driving up the non - ferrous sector. However, the continuous increase in domestic nickel ore port inventory and SHFE nickel inventory is negative for nickel prices. In the short term, the macro situation is driving up non - ferrous metals generally, and nickel prices may rebound from the low level. The willingness of previous short - sellers to close positions is strong. Pay attention to the pressure at the August high [7]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Industry Dynamics - **Copper**: On September 15, the spot inventory of electrolytic copper in the domestic market was 157,900 tons, an increase of 7,500 tons compared with August 8 and 8,900 tons compared with September 11 [9]. - **Aluminum**: On September 15, the spot inventory of electrolytic aluminum in the domestic market was 629,000 tons, unchanged compared with August 8 and an increase of 11,000 tons compared with September 11 [9]. - **Nickel**: On September 15, the mainstream reference contract for refined nickel in the Shanghai market was the SHFE nickel 2510 contract.

Report Information - Report Title: Steel & Iron Ore | Daily Report - Report Date: September 15, 2025 - Report Author: Tu Weihua Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - **Ribbed Bars**: The main contract futures price fluctuated upward with a daily increase of 0.93%, with decreasing volume and increasing open interest. Currently, in the situation of weak supply and demand, the fundamentals of ribbed bars have not improved, and industrial contradictions have accumulated, putting pressure on steel prices. The relative positives are rising costs and peak - season expectations. It is expected that steel prices will continue to fluctuate and seek a bottom, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4]. - **Hot - Rolled Coils**: The main contract futures price showed a relatively strong fluctuation, with a daily increase of 0.87%, with decreasing volume and increasing open interest. At present, the supply of hot - rolled coils has returned to a high level, while demand is strong, and the fundamentals are stable, supporting the price to run relatively strongly. However, the improvement in demand needs to be tracked. If demand weakens under high supply, industrial contradictions are likely to accumulate, and the price will be under pressure again. Key attention should be paid to demand changes [4]. - **Iron Ore**: The main contract futures price fluctuated, with a daily decline of 0.31%, with increasing volume and decreasing open interest. Currently, the demand for iron ore is fair, supporting the high - level operation of ore prices. However, contradictions in the steel market are accumulating, and the expectation of supply recovery remains. The fundamentals of the iron ore market have not been substantially improved, and the upward expectation of high - valued ore prices is weakening. The subsequent trend is cautiously optimistic, and attention should be paid to the performance of steel [4]. Summary by Directory Industry Dynamics - **National Economic Operation in August**: In August, macro - policies coordinated to work, and the national economy generally ran stably with progress in transformation and upgrading. But there are still many unstable and uncertain external factors, and the economy still faces risks and challenges [6]. - **Fixed - Asset Investment from January to August**: From January to August 2025, national fixed - asset investment (excluding rural households) was 3,261.11 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 0.5%. Private fixed - asset investment decreased by 2.3% year - on - year. In August, fixed - asset investment (excluding rural households) decreased by 0.20% month - on - month. By industry, the investment in the primary industry was 64.61 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 5.5%; the investment in the second industry was 1,182.46 billion yuan, an increase of 7.6%; the investment in the third industry was 2,014.04 billion yuan, a decrease of 3.4% [7]. - **Steel Production in August**: In August 2025, China's crude steel output was 77.37 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 0.7%; pig iron output was 69.79 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.0%; steel output was 122.77 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 9.7%. From January to August, China's crude steel output was 671.81 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.8%; pig iron output was 579.07 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.1%; steel output was 982.17 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.5% [8]. Spot Market - **Black Metal Spot Quotes**: Spot prices and price changes of ribbed bars, hot - rolled coils, Tangshan steel billets, Zhangjiagang heavy scrap, as well as prices and price changes of 61.5% PB powder, Tangshan iron concentrate powder, sea freight, SGX swaps, and the Platts Index are provided [9]. Futures Market - **Main Contract Futures Prices**: The closing prices, price changes, trading volumes, and open interest changes of ribbed bars, hot - rolled coils, and iron ore futures are presented. For example, the closing price of ribbed bars was 3,136 yuan, with an increase of 0.93%; the closing price of hot - rolled coils was 3,370 yuan, with an increase of 0.87%; the closing price of iron ore was 796.0 yuan, with a decrease of 0.31% [11]. Related Charts - **Steel Inventory**: Charts show the weekly changes in ribbed bar inventory, hot - rolled coil inventory, and the total inventory of hot - rolled coils (steel mills + social inventory) [14][16][19]. - **Iron Ore Inventory**: Charts display the inventory of 45 ports in China, the seasonal inventory of 45 ports in China, and the iron ore inventory of 247 steel mills [21][22][25]. - **Steel Mill Production**: Charts present the blast furnace operating rate and capacity utilization rate of 247 sample steel mills, the operating rate of 87 independent electric furnaces, the iron concentrate powder inventory of domestic mines, the proportion of profitable steel mills among 247 steel mills, and the profit and loss situation of 75 independent electric arc furnace steel mills for building materials [26][28][30]. 后市研判 - **Ribbed Bars**: The pattern of weak supply and demand remains unchanged. The production of construction steel mills is weakening, and the weekly output of ribbed bars decreased by 67,500 tons month - on - month, continuing the downward trend from a high level. However, the scope for production cuts during the peak season is uncertain, and inventory has continued to accumulate to a high level, so the supply pressure has been relieved only slightly. Meanwhile, the demand for ribbed bars remains weak, with the weekly apparent demand decreasing by 40,000 tons month - on - month, and high - frequency transactions running at a low level. Both are at low levels in recent years and show no signs of marginal improvement. It is expected that steel prices will continue to fluctuate and seek a bottom, and attention should be paid to demand performance [33]. - **Hot - Rolled Coils**: Changes have occurred at both the supply and demand ends. After the end of production restrictions, steel mills have actively resumed production, and the weekly output of hot - rolled coils increased by 109,000 tons month - on - month, returning to a high level this year, increasing the pressure. Meanwhile, the demand for hot - rolled coils has improved, with the weekly apparent demand increasing by 208,000 tons month - on - month, and high - frequency transactions have also rebounded. However, the output of cold - rolled products, the main downstream product, has continued to decline, and industrial contradictions are accumulating, which may drag down the demand for hot - rolled coils. The relative positive is the emerging price advantage, and exports may improve marginally. The improvement in hot - rolled coils needs to be tracked. Key attention should be paid to demand changes [34]. - **Iron Ore**: Changes have occurred at both the supply and demand ends. After the end of production restrictions, the terminal consumption of ore has increased significantly. Last week, the average daily pig iron output and the daily consumption of imported ore of sample steel mills both rebounded, returning to previous high levels, and the expectation of restocking before the holiday has fermented, so the demand for ore is fair, continuing to support the ore price. However, it should be noted that industrial contradictions in the steel market are constantly accumulating, profits are continuously shrinking, and the room for demand growth is limited. Meanwhile, the arrival of goods at domestic ports has continued to decline, but the overseas ore shipments have increased significantly. According to the shipping schedule, the subsequent arrival of goods will bottom out and rebound, and combined with the rapid recovery of domestic ore supply, the ore supply is expected to increase. The subsequent trend of iron ore is cautiously optimistic, and attention should be paid to the performance of steel [35].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - Today, treasury bond futures continued to trade in a sideways consolidation pattern. The latest credit data was weak, increasing market expectations for easing policies in Q4, which is positive for treasury bonds. Currently, treasury bond futures are mainly influenced by monetary policy expectations and the risk appetite of the stock market. In the medium to long term, there are still expectations of interest rate cuts, but in the short term, the need for a comprehensive interest rate cut is not high, resulting in limited upward momentum for treasury bond futures. In August, inflation was weak, credit demand from the real - sector was low, and the growth rate of consumption slowed marginally. Subsequently, the policy side will continue to introduce policies to stabilize demand. It is expected that monetary and fiscal policies will work together in Q4. On the other hand, the risk appetite of the stock market is at a high level, diverting funds from bond purchases and suppressing the demand side of treasury bonds. The year - on - year increase in non - bank deposit data in July and August indicates the stock - bond seesaw effect. Overall, treasury bond futures will mainly trade in a low - level sideways consolidation pattern in the short term [3] 3.

Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Both Shanghai rubber and synthetic rubber are expected to run weakly, with short - term and medium - term trends being oscillatory and the intraday trend being oscillatory and weak [1][5][7] Summary by Variety Shanghai Rubber (RU) - **Price Performance**: On Friday, the domestic Shanghai rubber futures 2601 contract closed slightly lower by 0.28% to 15,765 yuan/ton [5] - **Core Logic**: This week, the Fed has its September interest - rate meeting, with a high probability of a 25 - basis - point rate cut. The Southeast Asian rubber - producing areas are in the peak tapping season. The supply recovery expectation in the rubber market has increased as the positive impact of the unrest in Indonesia fades and the impact of weather on Hainan's rubber - producing area is digested. Although the domestic auto market's production and sales in August were better than expected, the positive factors have been over - exploited [5] Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Price Performance**: On Friday night, the domestic synthetic rubber futures 2511 contract closed slightly higher by 0.04% to 11,550 yuan/ton [7] - **Core Logic**: This week, the Fed has its September interest - rate meeting, with a high probability of a 25 - basis - point rate cut.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - The crude oil market is expected to run strongly, with short - term and medium - term trends being volatile, and the intraday trend being volatile and bullish. The main reasons are the enhanced geopolitical risks and the small rebound in domestic and foreign crude oil futures prices on the night of last Friday [1][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalog 3.1 Price and Trend - The domestic crude oil futures 2510 contract closed down 1.59% to 486.8 yuan/barrel, and it is expected that the domestic crude oil futures price will maintain a volatile and bullish trend on Monday [5]. 3.2 Market Fundamentals - In August, the average OPEC+ crude oil production was 4.24 billion barrels per day, a month - on - month increase of 509,000 barrels per day. Since the production increase started in April, OPEC+ has cumulatively increased production by 1.48 million barrels per day, with the largest increase coming from Saudi Arabia and other core Middle Eastern oil - producing countries [5]. 3.3 Geopolitical Factors - A recent drone attack by Ukraine on an important crude oil export hub in Russia's Baltic Sea, which loads about 330,000 barrels of diesel - type fuel and 1.15 million barrels of crude oil per day, has enhanced geopolitical risks and led to a small rebound in crude oil prices [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report Since late August, the CSI 1000 Index has been in a wide - range shock after a high - level correction. Using CSI 1000 index options to build a combined strategy can better adapt to the current market environment. It is recommended to construct a long straddle strategy for the October contract to gain from the expected volatility increase and market breakthrough in October [1][13]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Sentiment Analysis - The PCR of option open interest indicates that the current market sentiment is generally positive and optimistic. On September 11, after the CSI 1000 Index rose sharply, the PCR of the CSI 1000 index option open interest increased significantly, and the proportion of investors with non - bearish views is at a relatively high historical level [2][3]. 3.2 Implied Volatility Analysis - The implied volatility of options has a "pulse - like" characteristic. After the sharp rise or fall of the market, it will gradually fall back. On September 11, the sharp rise of the CSI 1000 Index pushed up the implied volatility, but it is still in the normal range. Currently, the implied volatility has stopped falling and stabilized, and there is a chance of a rebound in the future. When constructing an option portfolio strategy, a positive vega exposure should be considered [4][6]. 3.3 Index Direction Analysis - In the short term, the profit - taking of some stocks has led to a technical adjustment of the index. However, the policy is expected to be favorable, and the continuous inflow of funds will support the index in the medium and long term. Policy expectations are strong due to weak inflation data, and the coordinated efforts of supply - and demand - side policies will support corporate performance repair. There are three sources of incremental funds in the stock market, and the general trend of continuous inflow remains unchanged [7][11][12]. 3.4 Conclusion and Operational Strategy - Considering the positive market sentiment, the stabilization of implied volatility, and the expected policy and capital inflows, it is advisable to construct a long straddle strategy for the October contract of the CSI 1000 Index. This strategy can gain from the increase in volatility and the market breakthrough, with relatively controllable risks [13].
