Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the US dollar is "oscillation" [6] Core Viewpoints - The Fed cut interest rates as expected in October and announced the end of balance sheet reduction on December 1st. Market expectations for a December rate cut have declined, and internal differences within the Fed have increased, which is expected to lead to increased market volatility [3][12] - The ECB and the BoJ kept their policies unchanged with dovish stances, and the market's expectations for Japanese fiscal expansion and monetary easing have increased, driving up the Japanese stock market [3][12] - During the APEC meeting, the US and China made some adjustments to tariffs and export controls, but no formal agreement has been signed, slightly falling short of market expectations [3][12] - The US government shutdown has led to a lack of economic data, but corporate earnings, financial reports, and future capital expenditure plans support the high - level operation of the US market [3][12] Breakdown by Directory 1. Global Market Overview This Week - Market risk appetite remained high, with stock markets rising and falling, and bond yields also showing mixed trends. The US Treasury yield slightly rose to 4.07%. The US dollar index rose 0.86% to 99.8, most non - US currencies depreciated, the offshore RMB slightly rose 0.05%, the euro fell 0.79%, the pound fell 1.2%, the yen fell 0.74%, the Swiss franc fell 1.12%, the Korean won, Australian dollar, Malaysian ringgit, and Thai baht rose, while the New Zealand dollar, peso, rand, and Canadian dollar fell.

The S&P 500 rose 0.71%, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.11%, the Hang Seng Index fell 0.97%, and the Nikkei 225 index soared 6.31%. The US government shutdown will further drag on the economy, and the Fed's interest - rate cut and end of balance - sheet reduction, along with internal differences, are expected to increase market volatility. The market's expectations for Japanese fiscal and monetary policies have boosted the Japanese stock market. The China - US trade situation has slightly disappointed the market, and the divergence between the stock market and fundamentals in China is expected to gradually correct [11][12] 2.2 Bond Market - Global bond yields showed mixed trends, with the 10 - year US Treasury yield slightly rising to 4.07%.

Hot - Spot Tracking - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp in October and stopped balance - sheet reduction. This is an important signal of an inflection point in absolute liquidity, but the Fed's internal differences and the uncertainty of a December rate cut have short - term impacts on the market [31][34][35] 4. Next Week's Important Event Reminders - Monday: US October ISM Manufacturing PMI - Tuesday: Reserve Bank of Australia interest - rate meeting decision - Wednesday: US October ADP employment, ISM Non - Manufacturing PMI - Thursday: Bank of England interest - rate meeting decision - Friday: US November University of Michigan Consumer Confidence [36]

Industry Investment Rating - Industrial silicon: Oscillation; Polysilicon: Oscillation [5] Core Viewpoints - After the previous hedging, the price decline of industrial silicon is unlikely to cause production cuts or shutdowns in the short term, but the price needs to exceed 10,000 yuan/ton to bring significant supply increments during the dry season or the next wet season. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to go long on industrial silicon at low prices [4]. - In November, polysilicon officially enters the critical point of the game between policy and fundamentals. Currently, policy trading may still outweigh fundamental trading. Those who hold long positions can continue to hold, while those chasing long positions face greater risks. They can consider buying call options to participate in the subsequent policy game [4]. Summary by Directory 1. Industrial Silicon/Polysilicon Industry Chain Prices - This week, the Si2601 contract of industrial silicon increased by 180 yuan/ton to 9,100 yuan/ton. The SMM spot price of East China oxygenated 553 increased by 100 yuan/ton to 9,450 yuan/ton, and the price of Xinjiang 99 increased by 100 yuan/ton to 8,800 yuan/ton. The PS2601 contract of polysilicon increased by 4,105 yuan/ton to 56,410 yuan/ton. The average transaction price of N-type re-feeding material of polysilicon remained unchanged at 53,200 yuan/ton [11]. 2. Industrial Silicon Cost Increase, Polysilicon Focus on Storage Progress - **Industrial Silicon**: This week, the main futures contract of industrial silicon fluctuated strongly. Xinjiang opened 1 new furnace, while Yunnan and Sichuan reduced 3 and 6 furnaces respectively. Northern large factories may continue to resume production, while southern silicon factories are expected to significantly reduce production at the end of October. It is estimated that the number of operating furnaces in Yunnan will drop to about 20 and that in Sichuan will drop to only 18 in November. The SMM industrial silicon social inventory decreased by 0.1 million tons month-on-month, while the sample factory inventory increased by 0.04 million tons. Downstream maintains rigid demand purchases. When the market declines, aluminum factories actively place orders, and the basis of low-grade industrial silicon has strengthened. During the rising stage, it is in the state of inventory consumption. After updating the balance sheet, it is estimated that industrial silicon will have difficulty in destocking in November and will destock about 1 million tons in December [2][13]. - **Organic Silicon**: This week, the price of organic silicon decreased slightly. Some devices of several companies were under maintenance or shut down. The overall enterprise start-up rate this week was 68.63%, the weekly output of organic silicon was 45,400 tons, a month-on-month increase of 0.89%, and the inventory was 44,100 tons, a month-on-month increase of 2.56%. It is expected that the price of organic silicon will fluctuate weakly [13][14]. - **Polysilicon**: This week, the main futures contract of polysilicon rose significantly. Spot prices are under pressure. Leading manufacturers maintain the price of dense re-feeding material above 53 yuan/kg, and downstream mainly purchase special doping materials at 49 - 50 yuan/kg. Considering the coming dry season, it is estimated that the polysilicon production schedule will drop to 115,000 tons in November. As of October 30, the factory inventory of polysilicon enterprises was 261,000 tons, a month-on-month increase of 3,000 tons, and the raw material inventory of downstream crystal pulling factories was 218,000 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 4,000 tons. In November, polysilicon officially enters the critical point of the game between policy and fundamentals. If the platform company is successfully established and the storage details are implemented, the polysilicon price is expected to stabilize or even rise. Otherwise, the spot price may be under pressure [3][15]. - **Silicon Wafer**: This week, the price of silicon wafers decreased. The decline is related to overproduction. It is estimated that silicon wafer enterprises will reduce production from November. Whether the silicon wafer price can stabilize depends on whether the silicon material on the cost side continues to strongly support the price and the production reduction plan in November [16]. - **Battery Cell**: This week, the price of battery cells decreased. Overseas demand declined, and the mainstream transaction price of M10 battery cells continued to drop. The production schedule decline is not obvious. Due to the exemption of basic tariffs in India for Southeast Asian origins, the M10 battery is under pressure. The high price of G12 batteries has not been widely accepted by the component side, and the price is expected to decline. The G12R model continues to have an oversupply situation, and the future price is still not optimistic. Battery factories are under increasing cost pressure due to the sharp rise in silver paste prices and are now near cash losses [17]. - **Component**: This week, the component price remained basically stable. Some centralized procurement projects have a demand for high-power components above 700W, and leading component factories have raised their quotes. It is estimated that the domestic component production schedule will be 44.4GW in November, a month-on-month decrease of 1GW. There are concerns that the component production schedule will drop significantly in December. It is expected that the component price will fluctuate in the short term, and attention should be paid to whether there are demand-side policies in the future [18]. 3. Investment Advice - **Industrial Silicon**: After the previous hedging, it is more cost-effective to go long on industrial silicon at low prices [4][19]. - **Polysilicon**: Those who hold long positions can continue to hold, while those chasing long positions face greater risks. They can consider buying call options to participate in the subsequent policy game [4][19]. 4. Hot News Summary - **Hoshine Silicon Industry**: On October 30, it released its Q3 2025 report. The company achieved an operating income of 5.43 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 23.51%. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 75.6675 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 84.12%.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a "sideways" rating for lithium carbonate [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, lithium salt prices first rose and then fell, with the closing prices of LC2511 and LC2601 showing increases. Lithium hydroxide prices stabilized, and the price spread changed accordingly. The domestic lithium carbonate inventory decreased, but there were market rumors affecting the market sentiment, leading to profit - taking by long positions [1][2][13] - From a fundamental perspective, the demand side is expected to remain strong in November, with a slight increase in production of ternary and lithium iron phosphate cathodes and batteries. There is still room for a slight increase in apparent demand in November, and the monthly inventory reduction is expected to exceed 10,000 tons before the resumption of supply - side projects. However, the inventory reduction is expected to slow down from late November [3][15] - In terms of strategy, the short - term market will focus on the resumption rhythm of Jiangxi mica projects, with increased market volatility. It is recommended to use a range - trading approach. In the medium term, attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities after the demand reaches a phased peak. For arbitrage, the reverse arbitrage of LC2511 - LC2601 has been gradually realized and can be gradually closed, and attention should be paid to the positive arbitrage opportunity of LC2601 against more distant contracts [3][16] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Seasonal Inventory Reduction Accelerates, and Supply - Side Game Intensifies - Lithium salt prices showed a trend of rising first and then falling last week. The closing prices of LC2511 and LC2601 increased by 0.5% and 1.6% respectively, and the spot prices of battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased by 6.8% and 7.1% respectively. Lithium hydroxide prices stabilized, and the price spread changed [1][13] - The domestic lithium carbonate inventory decreased by 0.3 million tons to 12.7 million tons this week, accelerating the inventory reduction. However, market rumors on Friday led to profit - taking by long positions [2][14] - The demand side is expected to remain strong in November, with a slight increase in production of ternary and lithium iron phosphate cathodes and batteries. There is still room for a slight increase in apparent demand in November, and the monthly inventory reduction is expected to exceed 10,000 tons before the resumption of supply - side projects. The inventory reduction is expected to slow down from late November [3][15] - In terms of strategy, short - term market volatility will increase with the game over the resumption of Jiangxi mica projects. A range - trading approach is recommended. In the medium term, attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities after the demand reaches a phased peak. The reverse arbitrage of LC2511 - LC2601 can be gradually closed, and attention should be paid to the positive arbitrage opportunity of LC2601 against more distant contracts [3][16] 3.2 Weekly Industry News Review - Pilbara's lithium spodumene production in Q3 2025 increased by 1.7% quarter - on - quarter, the sales price of spodumene SC6 increased by 19% quarter - on - quarter, and the operating cost per ton decreased by 13% [17] - Dazhong Mining's wholly - owned subsidiary obtained the mining license for the Hunan Jijiaoshan lithium mine, with a lithium ore resource of 489.872 million tons, equivalent to about 3.2443 million tons of lithium carbonate [17] - Albemarle's 16,400 dry tons of 5.21% lithium spodumene concentrate was sold at a price of RMB 7,058 per ton [18] - Imerys is in exclusive negotiations to sell a minority stake in its lithium mine project in central France and is confident of completing the transaction by the end of January [18] 3.3 Key High - Frequency Data Monitoring of the Industrial Chain 3.3.1 Resource End: Spot Quotes of Lithium Concentrate Rise - The spot price of lithium concentrate increased, with the average price of lithium spodumene concentrate (6%, CIF China) rising from $881 per ton to $944 per ton, a 7.2% increase [14] 3.3.2 Lithium Salt: Position Reduction and Price Decline due to News Disturbance - The main contract of lithium carbonate showed an upward trend with increasing positions last week, but there was a significant position reduction of 22,000 lots on Friday, accompanied by a 3.14% decline, with a weekly increase of 1.6% [2][14] 3.3.3 Downstream Intermediates: Ternary and Lithium Cobalt Oxide Remain Strong - The production of ternary and lithium iron phosphate cathodes increased slightly, and the prices of downstream intermediate products such as ternary materials and lithium cobalt oxide showed an upward or stable trend [15][14] 3.3.4 Terminal: The Penetration Rate of New Energy Vehicles Reached 50% in September - The penetration rate of new energy vehicles reached 50% in September, indicating strong terminal demand [41]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for treasury bonds is "Shock" [4] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the central bank announced the resumption of open - market treasury bond trading, and broad - money became the main trading theme in the market. Treasury bond futures rose, and the yield curve first steepened and then flattened. Looking ahead to next week, with limited incremental market information, the bond market is expected to continue trading on broad - money - related logic, and treasury bond futures are likely to fluctuate on the stronger side [12]. - Market negatives for the bond market are relatively limited, and there are reasons to bet on broad - money policies. The impact of negative factors on the bond market is decreasing. The central bank's resumption of open - market treasury bond trading is a definite positive, and it is expected to announce relevant information in November. Additionally, the weaker - than - expected October PMI and the Fed's interest - rate cuts will increase market expectations for broad - money policies such as interest - rate cuts [13]. - The news of bond purchases is beneficial for short - term bonds, but the yield curve may not continue to steepen. Although the central bank's bond purchases are likely to target short - term bonds, the positive impact on short - term bonds this round should be weaker than last year. Long - term bonds have greater potential for price increases [13][14]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 One - Week Review and Views 3.1.1 This Week's Trend Review - From October 27 to November 2, treasury bond futures fluctuated and rose.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for US stocks is bullish [1] Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current increase in US stock concentration is mainly due to investors' funds flowing towards leading technology companies. The root cause of the risk is not the concentration increase caused by industry structure changes, but the excessive concentration of funds and the over - payment of value premiums for leading companies [1] - The high - concentration stage of US stocks is still fundamentally driven. The market capitalization expansion of leading technology companies is supported by profit growth and capital returns. In the short term, this structural feature will continue to support market returns [5] Group 3: Summaries based on the Table of Contents 1. Historical Lessons of the Increase in US Stock Concentration: Nifty Fifty and the Dot - Com Bubble - Market concentration significantly increased during the "Nifty Fifty" in the 1970s and the dot - com bubble in 2000. In the 1970s, the valuation premiums paid for the stability of leading enterprises returned to the mean in a high - interest - rate environment. The dot - com bubble burst because the cyclical demand in the technology industry was difficult to sustain, and the tightening of the interest - rate environment accelerated the decline of the capital expenditure cycle [2] - During the "Nifty Fifty" in 1970, investors over - paid for the certainty of leading enterprises. In the 1973 - 1974 Fed rate - hiking process, the valuation bubble burst, and most leading stocks fell by more than 50%. The decline was mainly due to the correction of leading enterprises' valuations rather than profit pressure [26][29] - In the 2000 dot - com bubble, the demand for computer hardware and network equipment was over - drawn in the short term, and many Internet companies had no stable profits. After the interest - rate environment tightened, profits declined rapidly, and high valuations could not be supported [39] 2. The US Stock Market Structure Further Increases Market Concentration - Institutional investors in the US stock market have more pricing power. Constrained by capital volume and performance evaluation systems, funds prefer large - market - capitalization momentum stocks. The rise of ETFs also causes funds to flow passively to leading enterprises, further increasing market concentration [3] - The trading structure of the US stock market is conducive to large - market - capitalization companies attracting funds. The trading volume of institutional investors accounts for about 80%, and they have stronger pricing power. Retail investors prefer small - market - capitalization and high - turnover companies [59][60] 3. Is the Current Concentration Reasonable? - The increase in concentration is greater than the increase in index valuation, indicating that leading technology companies are not the main source of valuation pressure. Current profit growth is gradually digesting valuations. There is no significant risk of a bubble in the current AI market [4] - In a high - interest - rate environment, the US economy is slowing down, but the AI industry has high certainty and growth potential. The profit margins of leading technology companies are increasing, and the value premium brought by fundamentals may continue to exist [70] - Although the current interest - rate environment weakens the support for valuations, it does not pose a significant risk. If leading technology companies maintain their valuation premiums, the proportion of Mag7 in the index may further rise to 41% [4][73] 4. Investment Recommendations - The high - concentration stage of US stocks is still fundamentally driven. Leading technology companies in the AI industry chain still have allocation value, and the Nasdaq 100 is expected to outperform. However, attention should be paid to the increased sensitivity to industry risks and systemic fluctuations after the increase in index concentration. It is recommended to avoid chasing high prices blindly, buy on dips, and hedge potential risks when volatility is low [5]
