It is advisable to be cautiously long in the short term [4]. 3.3 Black Metals 3.3.1 Steel - Last Friday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets rose and then fell, with low trading volume. Near the holiday, the risk - aversion sentiment increased, and the news of EU tariffs on Chinese steel products also affected the market. The real demand continued to weaken, but there were differences among varieties. The demand for rebar improved, with a 13.98 - million - ton inventory decline and a 10.41 - million - ton increase in apparent consumption this week. Hot - rolled coils accumulated inventory, and apparent consumption decreased. Steel supply remained high. The steel market is likely to oscillate within a range before the holiday [5]. 3.3.2 Iron Ore - Last Friday, iron ore futures and spot prices rose and then fell. The daily iron - water output increased to over 242 million tons, and steel mills continued to replenish stocks before the National Day, so the demand for ore remained strong. The global iron - ore shipping volume decreased by 248 million tons this week, while the arrival volume increased by 312.7 million tons. The port inventory increased by 169 million tons. Although the market has negative feedback expectations, the probability of actual negative feedback in the short term is low. The iron - ore price is expected to oscillate within a range in the short term, with a risk of negative feedback from late October to November [7]. 3.3.3 Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron - Last Friday, the spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese remained flat, and the futures prices declined slightly. The开工 rate of silicon manganese enterprises decreased, and the daily output decreased. The downstream demand is expected to improve in October. The prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese are expected to continue to oscillate within a range [8]. 3.4 Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy 3.4.1 Copper - The manufacturing PMIs of the US, the eurozone, Japan, and the UK all declined marginally. The second - largest copper mine, Grasberg, announced a shutdown, affecting about 27 million tons of production, but it has a复产 schedule, which reduces market speculation [9]. 3.4.2 Aluminum - Last Friday, the aluminum price was stable. It is expected to oscillate within a narrow range of 200 - 300 points in the short term. The social inventory decreased by 2.1 million tons due to pre - holiday restocking, but the inventory will accumulate during the holiday. The de - stocking is less than expected during the peak season [10]. 3.4.3 Aluminum Alloy - The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, the cost of recycled aluminum plants is rising, and the demand is weak. The price is expected to oscillate strongly in the short term, but the upside is limited [10]. 3.4.4 Tin - The smelting start - up rate in Yunnan and Jiangxi increased to 30.13%, remaining at a low level. The supply will be more abundant after November. The demand has improved slightly, but the terminal demand is still weak. The price is expected to oscillate in the short term [10][11]. 3.4.5 Lithium Carbonate - As of September 25, the weekly output of lithium carbonate increased by 0.8% to 20,516 tons, and the weekly start - up rate was 50.55%. The social inventory decreased slightly, and the downstream continued to replenish stocks. The fundamentals have improved marginally, and the price is expected to oscillate strongly [11]. 3.4.6 Industrial Silicon - As of September 26, the weekly output decreased by 0.8% to 96,432 tons, and the furnace - opening rate was 38%. The social inventory remained unchanged, and the warehouse - receipt inventory increased. There is no obvious driving force, and the price is expected to oscillate within a range [12]. 3.4.7 Polysilicon - The output in September was about 13 million tons, and the start - up rate is expected to decrease in October. The inventory remained high, and the warehouse - receipt decreased. The supply is high, and the demand is low. It is necessary to wait for the implementation of the state - purchase news [12]. 3.5 Energy and Chemicals 3.5.1 Crude Oil - The supply risk of Russia has increased, and the Middle East situation is tense, so the bottom support for crude oil remains. However, the export from northern Iraq has resumed, and OPEC may increase production next week, so the price pressure at the end of the year is still large [13]. 3.5.2 Asphalt - The rebound of oil prices has driven the rebound of asphalt prices. However, the peak - season demand is over, and the surplus pressure remains. The short - term basis is declining, and the inventory is not significantly reduced. The profit has recovered, and the start - up rate has increased significantly [13]. 3.5.3 PX - PX has been oscillating weakly. The PXN spread has decreased to 206 US dollars, and the external price has been oscillating at 815 US dollars. The polyester market has declined, and PX is expected to continue to oscillate weakly with some support [13]. 3.5.4 PTA - There was news of joint production cuts, but no substantial confirmation. The medium - term supply pressure is still large. The short - term basis has increased slightly, but the processing fee is still low. The downstream start - up rate has declined, and the upside space is limited [14]. 3.5.5 Ethylene Glycol - The port inventory is low, but the enterprise inventory is high. There is new production - capacity release pressure in the next two years. The downstream start - up rate is lower than in previous years, and the de - stocking is limited. It is expected to oscillate at a low level [16]. 3.5.6 Short - fiber - The price of short - fiber has declined. The terminal orders have increased seasonally but not significantly. The inventory has increased slightly due to the rebound of the start - up rate. The follow - up increase space is limited [16]. 3.5.7 Methanol - The inventory has decreased due to reduced imports and increased port - system utilization. The supply and demand situation has improved marginally, and the price is expected to consolidate and wait for new driving forces [16]. 3.5.8 PP - The supply is expected to increase as the devices are expected to restart. The downstream demand is in the peak season but has not improved significantly. The inventory pressure is not large, but the production - start expectation and high supply suppress the market. The price is difficult to improve [16]. 3.5.9 LLDPE - The downstream start - up rate has increased, and the orders and start - up of agricultural films are recovering. However, the supply pressure is still large, and there is new production - capacity release expectation. The overall surplus pattern remains unchanged [16]. 3.5.10 Urea - The domestic urea market has a loose supply - demand pattern. The supply pressure is obvious as the previously shut - down devices are resuming production. The demand support is weak. The enterprise inventory is accumulating. The price is expected to oscillate at the bottom in the short term [16]. 3.6 Agricultural Products 3.6.1 US Soybeans - The net short - position of managed funds in soybean futures and options has increased recently. The short - term pressure on US soybeans has increased due to Argentina's zero - tariff export, concentrated soybean harvest, and Sino - US tariff disputes. However, the harvest progress is slower than expected, and the drought in the production area has worsened, so there is support. The CBOT soybean is still cautiously optimistic [15][17]. 3.6.2 Soybean Meal and Rapeseed Meal - Argentina's zero - tariff window has reduced the risk of soybean and oil - meal shortages in the first quarter of next year. The soybean arrival at domestic oil mills will shrink in the fourth quarter, and the import cost is stable. After the National Day, the inventory pressure of oil mills is expected to decrease, and the cost - driven valuation - repair market for soybean meal is mature. The supply of imported rapeseed meal has decreased seasonally, and the domestic rapeseed inventory is low. Rapeseed meal is mainly influenced by soybean meal [17]. 3.6.3 Oils - The supply of domestic rapeseed and rapeseed oil is insufficient, and the high inventory of rapeseed oil is being reduced, so the price is likely to rise. The supply - demand of soybean oil is loose, and there is a risk of inventory accumulation after the National Day. The supply of palm oil is expected to decrease in the fourth quarter, and the inventory in the production area is low. The overall oil market is stable and is expected to oscillate within a range [18]. 3.6.4 Corn - The old - crop corn inventory is low, and the new - crop corn has a high opening price. The new - crop corn harvest in North China has been delayed by weather, and the price has rebounded. The downstream feed - mill inventory is at a low level, but the replenishment sentiment is low. The futures price has a deep discount to the spot price, and there is strong support [18]. 3.6.5 Hogs - Before the National Day, the market was pessimistic, and the pig price continued to decline. The supply - demand is still in surplus in the short term, and the pig price is under seasonal pressure after the National Day. In the medium term, the pig price may stabilize and rebound when the loss deepens and the consumption peak season comes [19].

The supply remained stable, the demand improved marginally, and with positive policy sentiment, it is expected to be strong in the short - term [7]. 3.3 Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The LME copper price rose and then fell overnight. Although the production of the Grasberg copper mine was affected, the复产 schedule reduced market speculation expectations [8]. - **Aluminum**: The aluminum price rose on Thursday and then fluctuated. It is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short - term to wait for new drivers. The social inventory decreased significantly due to pre - holiday restocking by downstream enterprises [8]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and the demand is in the off - season. The short - term price is expected to be slightly stronger in a volatile manner, but the upside space is limited [9]. - **Tin**: The supply is tightened in the short - term, and the demand is weak. The inventory decreased significantly. The price is expected to be volatile in the short - term, with support from maintenance and peak - season expectations, but the upside space is under pressure [9]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The main contract of lithium carbonate rose on Thursday. The supply and demand both increased, and the fundamentals improved marginally. The price is expected to fluctuate, and the upper - pressure range should be monitored [10]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The main contract of industrial silicon rose on Thursday.

The supply increased, and the peak - season demand fell short of expectations. The price is expected to be weakly volatile [16]. - **Urea**: The domestic urea market was stable. The supply is sufficient, the demand support is weak, and the inventory is accumulating, so there is significant short - term pressure [17]. 3.5 Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The CBOT soybean price rose overnight. The resumption of export tax in Argentina and the possible downgrade of US soybean crop ratings provided some support, but the high yield and weak export sales restricted the rebound [18]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The short - term supply - demand surplus situation in the domestic market remains unchanged. The low - valued cost of imported soybeans provides support [18]. - **Palm Oil**: The Malaysian palm oil futures rose for the second consecutive day on Thursday. The supply - demand situation is stable. In the future, attention should be paid to the low inventory in the production area, the price - support sentiment dominated by policies, and the impact of US soybean oil - related biodiesel policies on the market [19]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: The soybean oil market continues to have a situation of strong supply and weak demand.

Fundamentally, China's August consumption, January - August investment, and industrial added - value growth are lower than previous values and market expectations, with domestic demand continuing to slow. The central bank adheres to a self - centered and balanced monetary policy, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange aims to drive long - term funds into the market. The short - term domestic policy support has increased, and domestic risk appetite has risen sharply. The market is currently focused on domestic incremental stimulus policies, with short - term macro upward drivers strengthening. Future attention should be paid to Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policy implementation. Short - term cautious long positions are recommended [5]. Black Metals - **Steel**: On Wednesday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets rebounded slightly, with low trading volume. The construction industry's stable growth plan has led to rebounds in glass and steel. Fundamentally, real demand continues to weaken, and steel inventories are rising, but the increase has narrowed. Apparent consumption has slightly increased. Supply has also increased, especially in construction steel. There are rumors of production restrictions in Tangshan. The short - term steel market is likely to be range - bound [7]. - **Iron Ore**: On Wednesday, iron ore futures and spot prices rebounded slightly. Steel mills are replenishing stocks before the National Day, and iron ore production has increased. Supply is high, with a decrease in global shipments and an increase in arrivals this week. Port inventories have also increased slightly. Iron ore prices should be treated with a range - bound mindset, but there is a risk of negative feedback after November [7][8]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: At around 8 pm last night, copper prices soared due to the shutdown of the world's second - largest copper mine, Grasberg. The mine's annual production is 800,000 tons, and the shutdown affects about one - third, or 270,000 tons. However, Grasberg will resume production in stages and fully recover in 2027, with the actual impact lower than the theoretical value. Copper concentrate spot TC is stable and slightly rising, electrolytic copper production is high, and the impact of recycled copper policy disturbances on production is limited. Future demand faces a marginal decline risk. The upside space is limited due to the slowdown of the US economy [9]. - **Aluminum**: On Wednesday, aluminum prices stabilized, closing with a small real - body positive line, supported by the 60 - day moving average. After the Fed's interest rate cut, non - ferrous metals have returned to fundamental trading, with different trends among varieties. Currently, the fundamentals of aluminum are weak [9]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: On Wednesday, the spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese were flat, and the futures prices rebounded slightly. Manganese ore trading has slowed down. The start - up rate of silicon manganese enterprises has decreased, and daily production has also decreased. Steel mills' profits are around the cost line, and the September procurement is mostly completed. With the approaching of the National Day and the October tender, downstream demand is expected to improve. The Lanthanum market sentiment has improved. The futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese are expected to continue to be range - bound [9]. - **Soda Ash**: On Wednesday, the main soda ash contract was strong. Affected by the downstream glass sector, soda ash prices have strengthened. Last week, supply decreased slightly due to some device overhauls, but overall supply is still sufficient. Demand is stable week - on - week, with some improvement in the peak season, but terminal demand support has not changed significantly, and the demand increase space is limited. Currently, soda ash has a pattern of high supply, high inventory, and weak demand. In the short term, with the peak season and upstream overhauls decreasing, supply and demand will both increase, but in the long term, supply - side contradictions will suppress prices [9]. - **Glass**: On Wednesday, the main glass contract was strong. On September 24, the "Building Materials Industry Stable Growth Work Plan (2025 - 2026)" was officially announced, combined with the traditional peak season, leading to a rise in glass prices. Last week, glass production was stable, and downstream deep - processing factory orders increased slightly. Overall, glass supply is stable, demand has marginally improved, and with positive policy sentiment, it is expected to be short - term strong [9]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: Currently, the supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and recycled aluminum factories are short of raw materials, with rising production costs. It is still the off - season, with weak manufacturing orders and poor demand. Considering cost support, the short - term price is expected to be oscillatory and slightly stronger, but the upside space is limited due to weak demand [10]. - **Tin**: On the supply side, the combined start - up rate of Yunnan and Jiangxi has remained low, reaching 29.92%, slightly rising from last week, mainly due to some smelting enterprise overhauls in Yunnan and tight ore supply. However, the impact is expected to be short - term, and the start - up rate will rise after the overhauls end. With the issuance of mining licenses, the ore supply will become looser, and a large amount of Burmese tin ore will be produced after November. On the demand side, terminal demand is still weak, with weak demand in traditional industries such as consumer electronics and home appliances, and weakening new photovoltaic installations in the past two months. Due to supply tightening, tin price declines have led to some downstream and terminal enterprises replenishing stocks and making rigid purchases, with inventory decreasing by 936 tons to 8,453 tons. Overall, the price is expected to be short - term oscillatory, with overhaul and peak - season expectations supporting the price, but the upside space will be under pressure [10]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: On Wednesday, the main lithium carbonate 2511 contract fell 0.79%, with a new settlement price of 73,360 yuan/ton, and the weighted contract added 10,199 lots, with a total position of 714,600 lots. The steel union quotes battery - grade lithium carbonate at 73,250 yuan/ton (flat). The latest CIF price of Australian lithium spodumene is 827.5 US dollars/ton (down 5 US dollars). The production profit of purchased lithium spodumene is - 2,519 yuan/ton. Currently, the supply and demand of lithium carbonate are both increasing, with strong peak - season demand, a slight reduction in social inventory, and the transfer of smelter inventory to downstream. The fundamentals are marginally improving, with limited downside space. The market is expected to be oscillatory, and attention should be paid to the upper pressure range [11]. - **Industrial Silicon**: On Wednesday, the main industrial silicon 2511 contract rose 0.84%, with a new settlement price of 8,990 yuan/ton, and the weighted contract position was 508,300 lots, with a reduction of 1,424 lots. The price of East China oxygen - containing 553 is 9,500 yuan/ton (flat), and the futures are at a discount of 480 yuan/ton. The price difference between East China 421 and East China oxygen - containing 553 is 200 yuan/ton. There is no obvious positive factor for industrial silicon, and the market is expected to be range - bound [11]. - **Polysilicon**: On Wednesday, the main polysilicon 2511 contract rose 2.41%, with a new settlement price of 50,910 yuan/ton, and the weighted contract position was 250,400 lots, with a reduction of 2,089 lots. The latest price of N - type re -投料 is 51,500 yuan/ton (flat), and the price of P - type cauliflower material is 30,500 yuan/ton (flat). The price of N - type silicon wafers is 1.35 yuan/piece (flat), the price of single - crystal Topcon battery cells (M10) is 0.315 yuan/watt (flat), and the price of N - type components (centralized) is 0.66 yuan/watt (flat). The number of polysilicon warehouse receipts is 7,850 lots (down 20 lots). Recently, the spot prices of polysilicon, silicon wafers, and battery cells have increased, and there is still a strong policy expectation. The short - term is expected to be high and oscillatory, and attention should be paid to the spot price support [11]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The US's tough stance on Russia has pushed up oil prices. Trump's remarks have raised concerns about supply disruptions. Russia is considering diesel export restrictions, and CTA short positions are being closed. Oil prices will be supported in the near term and remain oscillatory [12][13]. - **Asphalt**: The rebound of oil prices has driven up asphalt prices. However, the peak - season demand is over, and there is still excess pressure. The short - term basis is slightly decreasing, and inventory de - stocking is limited. In the future, oil prices may be affected by OPEC+ production increases, and attention should be paid to the follow - up increase of asphalt prices [13]. - **PX**: The main contract continues to oscillate with the polyester sector, with support from crude oil costs. The previous small positive factors from low device start - up and increased overhaul plans have been priced in. The PXN spread has decreased slightly to 205 US dollars, and the PX foreign market has fallen to 812 US dollars. PTA short - term processing fees are being squeezed. PX is still in a tight situation, but with the recent decline of the polyester sector, it may remain weakly oscillatory with some support below [13]. - **PP**: The market price is weakly oscillatory. The two - oil polyolefin inventory has decreased. Device overhauls have led to a short - term decrease in production, and downstream start - up and orders have improved, with raw material inventory rising and peak - season stocking starting. However, seasonal supply increases and new capacity releases have kept the supply loose, and the excess pattern remains unchanged. The short - term is expected to be oscillatory and slightly weak, and attention should be paid to peak - season demand improvement [14][15]. - **PTA**: The stimulus from PTA production cut rumors has ended, and there is no substantial news. Downstream start - up has fallen, terminal orders are average, and peak - season demand has disappointed. Downstream inventory has increased, and the PTA trading basis has been falling. However, the impact of low processing fees is gradually emerging, with more device overhauls planned. There is still some support at the previous low. In the short term, with a large increase in short positions and no major fluctuations in oil prices, the futures price is under downward pressure [14]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The price of ethylene glycol remains low and oscillatory, with stable port inventory. The expected start - up of Yulong has strengthened. Downstream demand is weak, and after the peak season, trading is still light, with the basis not significantly improved. If downstream inventory continues to accumulate, there is no obvious upward driver for ethylene glycol prices, and it will continue to be oscillatory [14]. - **Short - fiber**: Short - fiber has adjusted with the polyester sector, and the price has slightly decreased. Terminal orders have seasonally increased but with limited amplitude. Short - fiber start - up has rebounded, leading to limited inventory accumulation. Further inventory de - stocking depends on the continuous improvement of terminal orders and start - up. Currently, the upside space is limited, and short - fiber is expected to follow the polyester sector and can be shorted on rallies in the medium term [14]. - **Methanol**: The price of methanol in Taicang is weakly oscillatory, and the basis is weakening. In the short term, domestic and imported supply has slightly decreased, and the restart of port MTO has prevented inventory from rising. The continuous weakness of the port has pressured prices, and some inland arbitrage windows have opened, but the supply - excess pattern cannot be changed in the short term, and high inventory still suppresses prices. In the long term, the recent malfunction and overhaul of Iranian devices have led to speculation about early gas restrictions, and October imports may be the key to the supply - demand change of methanol. Long positions can be considered in the long term [14]. - **LLDPE**: The LLDPE market is priced at 7,080 - 7,600 yuan/ton, with price adjustments in different regions. Device restarts have increased supply, and the start - up of the agricultural film industry has been slow, with order growth slower than in previous years. However, the inventory is relatively low, and the stability of oil prices under geopolitical and Fed interest - rate cut backgrounds provides some support. Currently, the return of supply and lower - than - expected peak - season demand make the overall supply - demand situation pessimistic, and the price is expected to be oscillatory and slightly weak [15]. - **Urea**: The domestic urea market is stable. Currently, the urea fundamentals show a pattern of "strong supply, weak demand, and differentiated inventory." Supply is increasing as previously overhauled devices resume production, and the daily output is expected to return to 200,000 tons. Agricultural demand during the autumn fertilizer - stocking period from late September to early October may bring some short - term sales, but the overall impact on the market is limited. Industrial demand is still low, with the compound fertilizer industry's capacity utilization rate at only 38.63% as of September 18. Inventory shows a differentiated pattern, with enterprise inventory increasing by 2.88% to 1.1653 million tons, indicating that domestic demand is lower than supply, and port inventory decreasing by 6.08% to 516,000 tons due to approaching export windows. Overall, the urea market has sufficient supply and weak demand support, with enterprise inventory accumulation indicating a loose fundamental situation and significant short - term pressure [16].

Summary by Directory Macro - finance - **Macro situation**: Overseas, Fed officials' hawkish signals led to the dollar index rising and then falling, and global risk appetite increasing. Domestically, economic data such as consumption, investment, and industrial added value in August were lower than previous values and market expectations, with domestic demand continuing to slow down. The central bank adheres to its own - centered monetary policy, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange aims to attract long - term funds into the market. The short - term upward macro - driving force has strengthened, and future attention should be paid to Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policy implementation [2]. - **Asset trends**: The stock index is expected to be volatile in the short term, with a suggestion of cautious short - term long positions; treasury bonds are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; black commodities are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; non - ferrous metals are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious short - term long positions; energy and chemical products are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; precious metals are expected to be strongly volatile at a high level, with a suggestion of cautious long positions [2]. Stock Index - The domestic stock market rose slightly driven by sectors such as precious metals, consumer electronics, and semiconductors. The economic data in August was lower than previous values and market expectations, with domestic demand continuing to slow down. The short - term upward macro - driving force has strengthened, and future attention should be paid to Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policy implementation. It is suggested to be cautiously long in the short term [3]. Black Metals - **Steel**: The domestic steel spot and futures markets continued to rebound slightly on Monday, with low trading volume. The visit of a US congressional delegation signaled a relaxation of Sino - US relations. The "Steel Industry Stable Growth Work Plan (2025 - 2026)" proposed to continue production control, and there were rumors of production restrictions in Tangshan. Demand improved slightly but varied by variety. The steel market is likely to be range - bound in the short term [4]. - **Iron ore**: The spot and futures prices of iron ore continued to rebound on Monday. Steel mills' restocking continued before the National Day holiday, and steel production enthusiasm was high. The global iron ore shipment volume decreased, while the arrival volume increased. The iron ore price should be treated with a range - bound mindset [4][5]. - **Silicon manganese/silicon iron**: The spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese were flat on Monday, and the futures prices rebounded after a significant decline. The manganese ore trading slowed down. The开工 rate of silicon manganese enterprises decreased, and the daily output decreased. The price of silicon iron was supported by factors such as electricity prices, and the production reduction space was limited. The futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese are expected to continue to be range - bound [6]. - **Soda ash**: The main soda ash contract was weak on Monday. Supply decreased slightly due to some device overhauls, but overall supply was still sufficient. Demand was stable week - on - week and improved in the peak season, but the terminal demand support did not change significantly. In the short term, supply and demand will increase, but in the long term, supply - side contradictions will suppress prices [7]. - **Glass**: The main glass contract was weak on Monday. Glass production was stable, and downstream demand improved slightly in the peak season but with limited growth. The overall glass supply was stable, and demand was difficult to increase significantly. The policy sentiment was volatile, and it is expected to be range - bound in the short term [7]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The Fed cut interest rates in September, and the Sino - US - Spanish economic and trade talks had a positive atmosphere. The spot TC of copper concentrate was stable, electrolytic copper production was at a high level, and the impact of recycled copper policy disturbances on production was limited. Future demand may decline marginally, and the upside space is restricted by the US economic slowdown [8]. - **Aluminum**: Aluminum prices fell slightly on Monday. After the Fed's interest - rate cut, non - ferrous metals returned to fundamental trading. The current aluminum fundamentals are weak, with social inventories not decreasing, demand recovering weakly in the peak season, and the spot price lagging behind the futures price [8]. - **Aluminum alloy**: The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and the production cost of recycled aluminum plants is rising. It is currently in the off - season of demand, and manufacturing orders are growing weakly. The price is expected to be range - bound with an upward bias in the short term, but the upside space is limited [9]. - **Tin**: The combined operating rate of Yunnan and Jiangxi remained low but rebounded slightly. It was mainly affected by the overhauls of some smelting enterprises in Yunnan and the tight supply of ore, but the impact is expected to be short - term. Terminal demand is weak, but due to the tightening of supply, inventory decreased significantly. The price is expected to be range - bound in the short term, with support from overhaul and peak - season expectations but limited upside space [9]. - **Lithium carbonate**: The main lithium carbonate 2511 contract fell 0.05% on Monday. The current supply and demand of lithium carbonate are both increasing, with strong peak - season demand, a slight decrease in social inventory, and a transfer of smelter inventory to downstream. The market is expected to be range - bound, and attention should be paid to the upper pressure range [10]. - **Industrial silicon**: The main industrial silicon 2511 contract fell 0.83% on Monday. There is no obvious positive factor, and the market is expected to be range - bound [10]. - **Polysilicon**: The main polysilicon 2511 contract fell 3.63% on Monday. The spot prices of polysilicon, silicon wafers, and battery cells have increased, and there are still strong policy expectations. It is expected to be range - bound at a high level in the short term, and attention should be paid to the support of spot prices [11]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude oil**: The market is weighing the EU's measures against Russian oil supply and the impact of Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy facilities. The next - round EU sanctions may target Asian enterprises, but the impact may be limited without stronger measures from the US and Europe. Ukraine's attacks have partially offset the current negative factors. The short - term oil price will continue to be range - bound with a downward bias [12][13]. - **Asphalt**: As oil prices continue to fall, the upside space for asphalt is limited, and the peak - season demand is passing, with excess pressure remaining. The short - term basis is slightly decreasing, and inventory removal is limited. In the future, as crude oil prices are expected to fall due to OPEC+ production increases, attention should be paid to the extent to which asphalt follows crude oil price movements [13]. - **PX**: The main contract continued to be weakly range - bound following the polyester sector. The previous slight positive factors from low device operating rates and increased overhaul plans have been mostly priced in. The PXN spread has decreased slightly, and PX is still in a tight supply situation. It is expected to be weakly range - bound with some support at the bottom [13]. - **PTA**: There were rumors of joint production cuts by leading PTA factories, but no substantial news was released, and the price fell. Downstream operating rates have decreased, peak - season demand has disappointed, and downstream inventory has increased. However, due to low processing fees, leading devices have increased overhaul plans, providing some support at the previous low. In the short term, with an increase in short positions by funds, the futures price may face downward pressure [14]. - **Ethylene glycol**: Port inventory remained at 46.7 tons with little change, and the expected commissioning of Yulong has strengthened. Downstream demand is weak, and the price is expected to remain low and range - bound. If downstream inventory continues to accumulate, there will be no obvious upward - driving force [14]. - **Short - fiber**: Short - fiber prices slightly decreased following the polyester sector. Terminal orders have increased seasonally but with limited growth. Short - fiber production has rebounded, leading to a limited increase in inventory. The future upward space may be limited, and it is suggested to consider short positions in the medium term [14]. - **Methanol**: Methanol futures were strongly range - bound, and the basis was weak. The domestic and imported supply decreased slightly in the short term, and the restart of port MTO units prevented inventory from rising. However, the supply - excess situation remains, and high inventory suppresses prices. In the long term, the possible reduction of imports in October due to Iranian device overhauls may change the supply - demand situation, and there may be opportunities for long positions [15]. - **PP**: The market quotation of PP decreased. The inventory of polyolefins from two major oil companies increased. Device overhauls led to a short - term decrease in production, and downstream demand improved, with raw material inventory starting to rise. However, due to seasonal production increases and new capacity releases, the supply is still abundant, and the market is expected to be weakly range - bound in the short term. Attention should be paid to the improvement of peak - season demand [15]. - **LLDPE**: The ex - factory prices of LLDPE from two major oil companies were partially adjusted, and the market price decreased. Device restarts increased supply, and the operating rate of the agricultural film industry increased slowly, with orders growing slower than in previous years. However, low inventory and stable oil prices provide some support. The overall supply - demand situation is pessimistic, and the price is expected to be weakly range - bound [16]. - **Urea**: The urea market adjusted downward. The current urea fundamentals show a pattern of strong supply, weak demand, and differentiated inventory. Supply is increasing as previously overhauled devices resume production. Agricultural demand during the autumn fertilizer - stocking period has limited impact, and industrial demand is still at a low level. Enterprise inventory is accumulating, while port inventory is decreasing. The market is under short - term pressure [17]. Agricultural Products - **US soybeans**: The November soybean contract on the CBOT market fell 1.39% overnight. Argentina's temporary cancellation of export taxes on soybeans and other grains dragged down the CBOT corn and soybean futures. However, the downgraded US soybean crop rating provided some support [18]. - **Soybean and rapeseed meal**: The domestic short - term supply - demand surplus situation remains unchanged, with high soybean arrivals, high oil - mill operating rates, and slow inventory digestion. Although the soybean meal market valuation is low, short - term risk appetite is not high, and US soybeans lack clear direction. It is expected that the soybean meal market will stabilize gradually from late September to October, as the overall supply - demand will shrink in the fourth quarter, and the cost support will strengthen. If the USDA adjusts its yield forecast, it may relieve export pressure and increase buying sentiment [19]. - **Oils**: The supply - demand situation of soybean oil remains weak, with limited pre - holiday consumption support and continuous release of supply pressure. The market sentiment is cautious. For rapeseed oil, the Sino - Canadian trade relationship has not improved, and the market sentiment is still cautious. During the seasonal peak - sales period, high inventory is being reduced, and there is a strong willingness to support prices. The domestic palm oil inventory has decreased significantly, and the basis price remains low. The export demand for Malaysian palm oil has improved, providing support for futures prices [20]. - **Corn**: The new - season corn in the Northeast is being harvested smoothly, with good quality and high opening prices that are currently stable. The price of new corn in North China continues to fall but at a slower pace, and the supply of old - season corn is tight with a firm price. The corn price in the sales area is stable, and downstream feed mills have low inventory, providing some support. Traders are not willing to store corn, and there is an expectation of price decline during the peak - listing period from mid - October to November. The futures price has strong support due to a large discount to the spot price [20]. - **Pigs**: The pig price has reached a new low this year, and the breeding profit has further shrunk, with some self - breeding and self - raising farms incurring losses. The supply of pigs in the market is still sufficient, and demand is stable. There is limited support at present. In the short term, attention should be paid to the impact of pork reserve purchases on farmers' price - holding sentiment. With the approaching of the double festivals, there may be inventory - building demand in the short term. It is expected that the pig price will stabilize in the second half of the month, with limited rebound space [20].

The PXN spread decreased, and the polyester market declined. [8] - **PTA**: Downstream demand was weak, and inventory increased. However, low processing fees led to more maintenance plans, and there is support at the previous low. The price may decline in the short term. [8] - **Ethylene Glycol**: Port inventory increased, and demand was weak. The price will continue to fluctuate. [15] - **Short - Fibre**: It adjusted with the polyester sector. Terminal orders increased seasonally, and inventory increased slightly. The upward space is limited. [15] - **Methanol**: Supply was in excess, and high inventory pressured the price. [15] - **PP**: Production decreased due to maintenance, and downstream demand improved. However, supply remained loose, and the price will fluctuate weakly in the short term. [15] - **LLDPE**: Supply increased, and demand was weak. With low inventory and stable oil prices, the price will fluctuate weakly. [16] - **Urea**: Supply was strong, demand was weak, and inventory was divided. The market is under pressure in the short term. [16][17] Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: At the beginning of the US soybean listing, there were expectations of a decrease in the USDA - estimated yield. However, new harvests and lack of Chinese orders will increase downward pressure. [17] - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The domestic short - term supply was in excess. It's expected to stabilize in late September and October due to supply contraction in the fourth quarter and potential adjustment of the USDA - estimated yield. Rapeseed meal follows the soybean meal market. [17] - **Oils and Fats**: International oil and oilseed prices weakened. Palm oil production may recover, and exports decreased. Domestic palm oil demand weakened, and inventory increased. Soybean oil supply was sufficient, and consumption support was limited. The market for rapeseed oil was cautious. The domestic oil market will fluctuate with downward pressure. [17] - **Corn**: The new corn in Northeast China was listed smoothly, and the price was stable. The price in North China continued to fall but at a slower pace. The price in the sales area was stable. There is an expectation of price decline during the concentrated listing period from mid - October to November. [17] - **Pork**: With pork purchases for storage and pre - holiday stocking, the pork price may have a phased stable rebound. [17]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The report suggests a mid - term short - allocation strategy for iron ore [4][49] Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The iron ore supply - demand pattern will gradually change with the commissioning of Simandou Iron Ore at the end of the year. The probability of the spot price exceeding $110 in the medium term is low, so it is recommended to short - allocate iron ore. Also, pay attention to the strength conversion between black - sector varieties [4][49] - The commissioning of Simandou Iron Ore will increase the supply of iron ore. Mainstream and non - mainstream mines will expand production to seize market share. At the same time, iron ore demand at home and abroad is difficult to improve significantly [4][49] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Simandou Iron Ore Commissioning Process - It is planned to ship the first batch of iron ore from Simandou in November 2025, with a volume between 50 - 100 million tons, and export through the WCS port before the completion of the SimFer port. The SimFer mine and infrastructure are progressing well. The entire Simandou project's shipping volume in 2025 is expected to be between 250 - 300 million tons [9][10] 2. Impact of Simandou Iron Ore Commissioning on Mine Business Behavior - Before the commissioning of Simandou Iron Ore, the four major mines controlled the production rhythm. After its commissioning, they are likely to adjust their business strategies and expand production. Simandou Iron Ore's cost is similar to overseas non - mainstream mines but lower than domestic mines, which may cause the marginal cost curve of iron ore to shift downward and to the right [14][17][19] 3. Overseas Mine Supply Outlook 3.1 Mainstream Mine Supply Outlook - In 2025, the mainstream mine increment is 14.02 million tons, and after 2026, the increment may exceed 35 million tons. Each major mine has expansion plans, such as Rio Tinto's Western Range project, BHP's production target increase in some mines, and VALE's new project commissioning [20][21][25] 3.2 Non - mainstream Mine Supply Outlook - In addition to Simandou Iron Ore, other non - mainstream mines are also being commissioned. For example, Australia's Onslow Iron Ore may increase production in 2026, and Brazil's CSN plans to expand the Casa de Pedra mine and increase the capacity of the P15 new mining area [26][27] 4. Iron Ore Demand Hard to Increase Significantly 4.1 Domestic Iron Ore Demand Analysis - In the short term, domestic iron ore demand is relatively strong, but there is production - limiting pressure in the fourth quarter, and the focus may be on hot metal. In the medium - to - long term, steel consumption, especially real - estate steel consumption, is difficult to improve significantly, and iron ore demand is likely to continue to decline [31][34] 4.2 Overseas Iron Ore Demand Analysis - From January to July 2025, the pig iron output in other regions except China decreased year - on - year. In the next 2 - 3 years, the new steel - making capacity overseas is mainly electric - arc furnaces, accompanied by green transformation and technological upgrading, so iron ore demand is also difficult to improve significantly [39] 5. Iron Ore Investment Opportunities Analysis in Different Cycles - In the fourth quarter, there is a risk of negative feedback in the black - industry chain, and iron ore may make up for the decline after late October. In the medium term, iron ore may be weaker than other industrial products due to the expansion cycle, and attention can be paid to the strength conversion between black - sector varieties [41][47][49] 6. Summary - The commissioning of Simandou Iron Ore is unlikely to be affected by building a smelter locally. The shipping volume in 2025 is expected to be between 250 - 300 million tons, and supply is expected to recover further after 2026. The supply of mainstream and non - mainstream mines will expand. Domestic and overseas iron ore demand is difficult to improve significantly. The supply - demand pattern will change, and it is recommended to short - allocate iron ore in the medium term and pay attention to the strength conversion between black - sector varieties [46][49]
