债市震荡寻底,持续调整概率不高
Dong Zheng Qi Huo· 2025-09-28 09:46
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for treasury bonds is "Oscillation" [4] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market is currently in a phase of oscillating to find the bottom, and the probability of continuous adjustment is low. After the adjustment, the bond market valuation has gradually become reasonable. With limited incremental negatives such as policy efforts and a stronger stock market in the future, and the monetary policy remaining in a balanced and slightly loose state, the bond market will gradually become desensitized to negatives. It is expected that the market will start to focus on the fundamentals in late October [2]. - In the short - term, the bond market is expected to oscillate slightly weaker due to the fewer trading days next week and some institutions' potential concerns about the implementation of new regulations on public bond funds during the holiday. However, the impact of institutions holding cash for the holiday is relatively limited [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 One - Week Review and Views 3.1.1 This Week's Trend Review - From September 22 - 28, treasury bond futures oscillated downward. On Monday, the bond market sentiment was generally positive due to the central bank's 14 - day reverse repurchase operation, and the bond futures closed higher. On Tuesday, concerns about changes in public fund fees suppressed the bond market, and the decline of bond futures widened in the late session. On Wednesday, without the 14 - day reverse repurchase operation, the tightening of the capital side and the rising stock market led to stronger short - selling intentions of institutions, and bond futures oscillated downward. On Thursday, the bond market fell sharply in the morning due to strong equity performance, and rebounded in the afternoon. On Friday, with a calm market and a weakening stock market, bond futures rose slightly. As of September 26, the settlement prices of the main contracts of 2 - year, 5 - year, 10 - year, and 30 - year treasury bond futures were 102.358, 105.630, 107.755, and 114.880 yuan respectively, changing by - 0.006, + 0.050, + 0.075, and - 0.280 yuan compared to last weekend [1][11]. 3.1.2 Next Week's View - The bond market is expected to oscillate slightly weaker. The cross - quarter capital side has tightened, and new regulations on public funds have suppressed bond market sentiment. The yield curve continues to steepen. Although some institutions may hold cash for the holiday due to concerns about new regulations on public bond funds, the impact is limited. The bond market is in an oscillating bottom - finding phase, and the probability of continuous adjustment is low. It is recommended to adopt an oscillating approach in the short - term for the unilateral strategy, wait for market sentiment to improve to close the short - hedging strategy, and moderately focus on the strategy of steepening the curve [2][12][13]. 3.2 Weekly Observation of Interest - Bearing Bonds 3.2.1 Primary Market - This week, 106 interest - bearing bonds were issued, with a total issuance volume of 579.731 billion yuan and a net financing of - 6.239 billion yuan, a change of - 84.808 billion yuan and - 472.664 billion yuan compared to last week respectively. 78 local government bonds were issued, with a total issuance volume of 196.051 billion yuan and a net financing of 122.461 billion yuan, a change of + 7.532 billion yuan and + 91.606 billion yuan compared to last week respectively. 450 inter - bank certificates of deposit were issued, with a total issuance volume of 790.970 billion yuan and a net financing of - 178.240 billion yuan, a change of - 188.540 billion yuan and - 307.70 billion yuan compared to last week respectively [23][24]. 3.2.2 Secondary Market - Treasury bond yields generally increased. As of September 26, the yields of 2 - year, 5 - year, 10 - year, and 30 - year treasury bonds were 1.52%, 1.63%, 1.88%, and 2.22% respectively, a change of + 3.07, + 1.70, + 0.20, and + 2.40 basis points compared to last weekend. The 10Y - 1Y and 30Y - 10Y spreads widened, while the 10Y - 5Y spread narrowed. The yields of 1 - year, 5 - year, and 10 - year policy - bank bonds also increased [29][30]. 3.3 Treasury Bond Futures 3.3.1 Price, Trading Volume, and Open Interest - Treasury bond futures oscillated downward. As of September 26, the settlement prices of the main contracts of 2 - year, 5 - year, 10 - year, and 30 - year treasury bond futures were 102.344, 105.530, 107.670, and 114.260 yuan respectively, a change of - 0.014, - 0.100, - 0.085, and - 0.620 yuan compared to last weekend.

The open interests were 76,284, 148,793, 246,583, and 170,109 lots respectively, a change of - 80, + 3,357, + 2,011, and + 2,829 lots compared to last weekend [35][36][40]. 3.3.2 Basis and IRR - This week, the opportunity for cash - and - carry arbitrage was not obvious. The capital side was generally loose, the market oscillated, and the futures basis generally oscillated within a narrow range. The IRR of the CTD bonds of the main contracts of each variety was between 1.3% - 1.4%, and the current certificate of deposit rate was between 1.6% - 1.7%, so the opportunity for cash - and - carry arbitrage was relatively limited. The basis and IRR of TL fluctuated greatly, but trading opportunities were difficult to grasp. The short - hedging strategy should be held for now [43]. 3.3.3 Inter - Delivery and Inter - Variety Spreads - As of September 26, the inter - delivery spreads of the 2512 - 2603 contracts of 2 - year, 5 - year, 10 - year, and 30 - year treasury bond futures were + 0.086, + 0.120, + 0.345, and + 0.340 yuan respectively, a change of + 0.006, - 0.020, - 0.020, and 0.000 yuan compared to last weekend [46]. 3.4 Weekly Observation of the Capital Side - This week (excluding the 28th), the central bank conducted 2.4674 trillion yuan of reverse repurchase operations and 600 billion yuan of MLF operations. With 1.8268 trillion yuan of reverse repurchase maturities and 300 billion yuan of 1 - year MLF maturities, the net investment was 940.6 billion yuan. As of September 26, R007, DR007, SHIBOR overnight, and SHIBOR 1 - week were 1.55%, 1.53%, 1.32%, and 1.50% respectively, a change of + 2.76, + 4.25, - 14.00, and + 1.30 basis points compared to last weekend. The average daily trading volume of inter - bank pledged repurchase this week was 7.27 trillion yuan, 0.10 trillion yuan more than last week, and the overnight proportion was 75.72%, slightly lower than last week [51][53][56]. 3.5 Weekly Overseas Observation - The US dollar index strengthened slightly, and the yield of 10Y US Treasury bonds increased. As of September 26, the US dollar index rose 0.55% to 98.1926 compared to last weekend. The yield of 10Y US Treasury bonds was 4.20%, an increase of 6 basis points compared to last weekend. The spread between Chinese and US 10Y Treasury bonds was inverted by 232.1 basis points. The US manufacturing PMI index in September declined, and Powell said that the uncertainty of inflation trends remains high, and he also thought that the valuation of the US stock market is quite high [60]. 3.6 Weekly Observation of High - Frequency Inflation Data - Industrial product prices all declined this week. As of September 26, the Nanhua Industrial Product Index, the Metal Index, and the Energy and Chemical Index were 3628.85, 6387.58, and 1663.68 points respectively, a change of - 3.80, - 24.08, and - 0.99 points compared to last weekend.

2025Q4多晶硅季度观点:政策交易VS基本面交易的拐点?-20250928
Dong Zheng Qi Huo· 2025-09-28 04:43
Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Q3 2025 market was dominated by the "anti - involution" policy. The first - stage goal of "anti - involution" has been achieved, and the industry is moving towards the second - stage goal. The second - stage goal of capacity clearance gives an imagination space for the price to reach above 60,000 yuan/ton [3][12]. - The price increase in Q3 was supported by factors such as unexpected overseas demand, the "buy - on - rising" psychology of downstream enterprises, and the compression of downstream profits. However, the demand in Q4 is not optimistic [33][36][42]. - The price outlook depends on the progress of the platform company. If the platform company is established, the spot price is likely to rise, but considering the weakening fundamentals, the price may reach a limit of 60,000 yuan/ton. If the platform company is not established, the price may move towards 45,000 yuan/ton [105][110]. Summary by Related Catalogs 25Q3 Market Review - In H1 2025, the market was mainly based on fundamental trading, while in Q3 2025, it was dominated by trading the "anti - involution" policy. Polysilicon is the only product with clear policy guidance since the "anti - involution" [3]. - The first - stage goal of "anti - involution" is to prevent selling products below cost, which is a "temporary solution". The second - stage goal is to achieve permanent clearance of excess capacity through measures such as storage or energy consumption, which is a "fundamental solution" [8]. - The top - level design includes the revision of relevant laws, comments from the People's Daily, and important meetings chaired by the President. The implementation is led by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, with the photovoltaic industry association organizing industry self - discipline. The first - stage goal has been completed, and the industry is moving towards the second - stage goal [11][12]. Second - Stage Goals - **Capacity Storage and Shuffle Fund**: Leading polysilicon enterprises plan to form a fund platform company to acquire, integrate, and exit redundant silicon material capacity. The current total industry capacity is about 3.5 million tons, and a 60 - 70% market operating rate needs to be maintained to achieve supply - demand balance. The investment cost of polysilicon is about 6 - 8 billion yuan/ton. The capital source is the acquirer's own funds plus bank loans or other financing methods. Some investors expect the long - term polysilicon price to run above 60,000 yuan/ton [17]. - **Energy Consumption Standards**: The government uses energy consumption standards to limit the capacity scale. The new energy consumption standards for polycrystalline silicon have been revised several times, and the final draft was released on September 16. 83.76% of the production can meet the third - level standard, and existing enterprises can adjust their energy consumption by reducing the density. A 12 - month transition period is recommended [22]. Price Trends and Their Causes - **Price Increases**: The mainstream transaction price of first - tier enterprises' dense materials for polysilicon has risen from the bottom of 33 - 34 yuan/kg to the current 50 - 52 yuan/kg. The prices of silicon wafers, batteries, and components have also increased [23]. - **Reasons for Price Increases**: Overseas demand in Q3 exceeded expectations, with factors such as the expected cancellation of export tax rebates leading to a rush to export, battery shortages overseas, and India's tax reduction policy. Downstream enterprises showed a "buy - on - rising" psychology, and the price increase in polysilicon was mainly achieved by squeezing downstream profits [33][36][42]. Future Fundamental Deductions - **Domestic Market**: From January to August, China's new photovoltaic installed capacity was 230.61GW, with a year - on - year decrease of 55% in August. The export volume of components and batteries increased. However, the component tender volume decreased significantly from April to mid - September, and the mechanism electricity price was lower than expected. The predicted new photovoltaic installed capacity in 2025 is 298GWac, a year - on - year increase of 7% [35][48][52]. - **European Market**: The new photovoltaic installed capacity in Germany, Italy, and Poland decreased slightly, while that in France and Spain increased. The predicted new photovoltaic installed capacity in Europe in 2025 is 59GWac, remaining the same as the previous year. The export volume of Chinese components to Europe decreased from January to August, but increased in August. The European component inventory decreased, and it is difficult to replenish stocks on a large scale [58]. - **US Market**: The new photovoltaic installed capacity in the US from January to June was 16.1GW, a year - on - year increase of 3%. After the signing of the "Big and Beautiful Act", it is expected that there will be a rush to install household photovoltaics in the second half of 2025, and the household photovoltaic market will shrink continuously after 2026. The predicted new photovoltaic installed capacity in the US in 2025 is 37GWac, a year - on - year increase of 4% [70][73]. - **Indian Market**: The new photovoltaic installed capacity in India from January to July was 21.15GW, a year - on - year increase of 52%. The predicted new photovoltaic installed capacity in India in 2025 is 35GWac, a year - on - year increase of 43%. India's policies will have a negative impact on China's exports in the long term [77]. - **Middle East and Africa**: From January to August 2025, China's component exports to the Middle East decreased by 13% year - on - year, while those to Africa increased by 47% year - on - year. The predicted new photovoltaic installed capacity in the Middle East and Africa in 2025 is 18GWac and 3GWac respectively, with year - on - year increases of 50% and 61% [78]. Supply - Demand Balance and Profit Calculations - **Supply - Demand Balance**: The supply - demand balance table shows the production, import, export, and domestic demand of polysilicon, silicon wafers, batteries, and components from January to December 2025, as well as the supply - demand balance situation [98]. - **Profit Calculations**: Based on different polysilicon prices, the cash profits, gross profits, and net profits of silicon wafers, batteries, components, and integrated enterprises are calculated. The current profit situation is better than the extreme profit situation [104]. Price Outlook and Strategies - **Price Outlook**: If the platform company is established, the spot price is likely to rise, but considering the weakening fundamentals, the price may reach a limit of 60,000 yuan/ton. If the platform company is not established, the price may move towards 45,000 yuan/ton [105][110]. - **Q4 Strategies**: The operating range of the Q4 main contract may be between 45,000 and 60,000 yuan/ton. It is recommended to focus on short - selling opportunities at the upper limit of the range. The establishment of the platform company directly affects the long - short arbitrage logic, and it is recommended to wait and see [110].
2025Q4工业硅季度观点:蛰伏之季,静候春雷-20250928
Dong Zheng Qi Huo· 2025-09-28 04:12
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The price of industrial silicon has seasonal inventory accumulation and depletion, but compared with the industry inventory of over 1 million tons, the fundamental contradiction is not obvious. After the previous hedging, short - term price decline is difficult to cause production cuts, but the price needs to break through 10,000 yuan/ton to bring obvious supply increments in the dry season or the next wet season. With the cost floor identified, the lower limit of the industrial silicon price may be clearer. In Q4, the main contract is expected to trade in the range of 8,000 - 10,000 yuan/ton, and it is recommended to focus on the opportunity of buying on dips at the lower end of the range [78]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 25Q3 Market Review - In 25H1, the price of industrial silicon dropped significantly due to inventory accumulation during the dry season, resumption of production by large manufacturers, and cost collapse driven by falling coal prices. In 25Q3, the price rebounded sharply due to the continuous strengthening of the basis, outflow of warehouse receipts, lower - than - expected resumption of production by large manufacturers, and the "anti - involution" trading. After the "anti - involution" trading declined, the price fluctuated between 8,200 - 9,200 yuan/ton [3]. Cost Analysis - **Electricity Price**: The cost floor in terms of electricity price has emerged. In Xinjiang, self - supplied electricity is about 0.2 yuan/kWh, and subsidized purchased electricity is about 0.3 yuan/kWh, with 0.35 yuan/kWh in Yili. In Yunnan, the electricity price rises slightly in the normal - water period in October and increases by 0.15 - 0.2 yuan/kWh in the dry season from November to December. In Sichuan, the electricity price rises by 0.05 - 0.1 yuan/kWh in the normal - water period in November and by 0.16 - 0.21 yuan/kWh in the dry season in December compared with the wet season [8][10]. - **Raw Materials**: The cost floor for raw materials has also emerged. The cash cost of self - supplied electricity in Xinjiang is 6,800 yuan/ton, and that of purchased electricity is 7,800 yuan/ton. The cash cost in the wet season in Sichuan is 8,500 - 9,100 yuan/ton, and in Yunnan, it is 9,900 yuan/ton. In the dry season, the cash cost in Baoshan is 11,500 yuan/ton, and in other south - western regions, it is 12,500 yuan/ton [22][23][30]. Supply Analysis - **Seasonal Production Cuts**: In the dry season, the supply elasticity is weakened by hedging. Xinjiang's large manufacturers plan to increase the number of furnaces in the eastern base to 50, and may further increase to 60. Yunnan and Sichuan will start production cuts at the end of October, with Yunnan's operation possibly dropping to more than 20 furnaces and Sichuan's to about 35 furnaces. Inner Mongolia's polysilicon integrated and self - supplied electricity - advantaged capacities are operating at full capacity. In Gansu, the operation is expected to change little [31]. - **Potential Supply Pressure**: There are many built - but - not - yet - commissioned capacities, posing a large potential supply pressure. Newly commissioned capacities include Tongwei Baotou, Tongwei Guangyuan, Xin'an Yanjin, and Yongchang Silicon Industry. Built but postponed commissioning includes Qiya Silicon Industry, Qinghai Hongshi, Hesheng Zhaotong, Trina Solar, and Shangnan Zhongjian [37][38]. Demand Analysis - **Polysilicon**: After the "anti - involution" trading, the mainstream transaction price of dense materials from first - tier enterprises rose to 50 - 52 yuan/kg, with a net profit margin of over 10%. The upstream factory inventory is 20 - 21 million tons, mainly concentrated in leading enterprises. The downstream raw material inventory is over 2 months. From January to September 2025, the polysilicon output was 951,000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 33%. Considering the dry - season production cuts and the resumption expectations of some enterprises, the polysilicon production schedule for Q4 2025 is expected to be 376,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 8% [50]. - **Organic Silicon**: The real estate market remains weak. In terms of photovoltaic, from January to September, the domestic component output of Chinese enterprises was 412.3GW, a year - on - year increase of 4%. Considering the weakening demand, the production schedule for Q4 2025 is expected to be 136GW, a year - on - year decrease of 3%. For new - energy vehicles, from January to August, the sales volume was 9.592 million, a year - on - year increase of 36%. Due to the high base in Q4 last year, the annual growth rate is adjusted down to 24%, with a year - on - year increase of 9.5% in Q4. In terms of exports, from January to August, the export volume of primary - form polysiloxane was 373,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 1%. However, the US tariff adjustment is expected to reduce exports to the US. From January to August, the output of organic silicon intermediates was 1.653 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 18%. The production of organic silicon DMC in Q4 2025 is expected to be 677,000 tons, the same as the previous year [51][62][68]. - **Aluminum Alloys and Exports**: From January to August, the output of primary aluminum alloys was 941,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 1%, and the output of recycled aluminum alloys was 4.056 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 4%. Q4 is the seasonal peak season for aluminum alloys. Aluminum plants mainly purchase industrial silicon as a rigid demand, buying on dips and consuming inventory at other times. The demand for industrial silicon from aluminum alloys in Q4 2025 is expected to be 230,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 5%. From January to August, the export of industrial silicon was 490,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 30% [69]. Supply - Demand Balance and Price Outlook - **Supply - Demand Balance**: On the supply side, with Xinjiang's large manufacturers' eastern base operating 50 furnaces, the operating rate in the southwest drops significantly in the dry season. On the demand side, polysilicon production is affected by dry - season cuts and some enterprises' resumption, organic silicon production remains the same year - on - year, and aluminum alloy demand increases slightly year - on - year. Inventory accumulates in October, and about 50,000 tons are depleted from November to December in the dry season. However, if Xinjiang's large manufacturers fully resume production, it may be difficult to deplete inventory in November and only a small amount will be depleted in December [73]. - **Price Outlook**: The lower limit of the industrial silicon price may be clearer with the cost floor identified. The main contract in Q4 is expected to trade in the range of 8,000 - 10,000 yuan/ton [78].

Dong Zheng Qi Huo· 2025-09-26 07:11
Report Information - Report Title: Economic Pressure Emerges, Convergence of High Volatility in Stock Indexes - Company: Shanghai Orient Futures Co., Ltd., Orient Derivatives Research Institute - Analyst: Wang Peicheng, Senior Macro Analyst - Analyst Qualification: F03093911 (Practicing Qualification Number), Z0017305 (Investment Consulting Number) [1] Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Views - In the fourth quarter, domestic economic pressure will increase, and the annual economic growth rate is expected to be 4.8 - 5%. The inflation trend is upward, with the PPI expected to be -1.9% and the CPI +0.5%. The fiscal deficit rate will continue to rise, and the government will increase spending. The transmission from loose money to loose credit in monetary policy is不畅, and the central bank may cut reserve requirements and interest rates in the fourth quarter. The domestic economy is in a "great differentiation" stage, and the restart of the economic cycle depends on the repair of the private sector's balance sheet. A-share performance has been good since the third quarter, with large sector differentiation. The rise of A-shares is mainly driven by valuation, and the long-term valuation center is declining. The entry of the national team and technological breakthroughs provide positive expected returns for the stock market, and high-risk preference funds are the first to enter the market. In the fourth quarter, the volatility of stock indexes may decrease, and attention should be paid to the opportunities in sub - sectors and sub - industries [4][7][14][62][69] Summary by Directory Fourth - Quarter Domestic Macroeconomic Outlook - **Economic Growth**: Domestic economic indicators have declined significantly since June. The demand - side indicators of social retail and fixed - asset investment are both below 5%, and fixed - asset investment has been negative for three consecutive months. Due to the high GDP growth rate in the fourth quarter of last year, the growth rate in the fourth quarter of this year will be suppressed. The annual economic growth rate is expected to be 4.8 - 5% [7] - **Inflation**: The anti - involution policy's impact on inflation is still in the early stage. Upstream resource industries have improved the most, while mid - and downstream manufacturing industries have shown no obvious improvement. In the fourth quarter, the inflation trend is upward. The narrowing of the tail - end factor forms a low - base effect, the anti - involution policy promotes the marginal improvement of PPI, and consumer subsidies and the winter tourism season boost CPI. The expected PPI in the fourth quarter is -1.9%, the CPI is +0.5%, and the deflator is -0.7%, an increase of about 0.75% compared with the third quarter [8][14] - **Fiscal Policy**: The domestic economy still relies on fiscal support. As of August, fiscal revenue growth has turned positive, and expenditure growth remains high. The average generalized deficit rate in the third quarter was 9.37%, an increase of 0.37% compared with the second quarter. The government bond financing is an important support for fiscal expenditure. The issuance of national bonds this year is earlier, with 1 - 9 months' net financing of 5.4 trillion yuan, accounting for 72.4% of the annual total. The issuance of local bonds is slower, with only 68% of the annual progress completed in the first three quarters, leaving room for acceleration in the fourth quarter. Fiscal expenditure is tilted towards the people's livelihood and consumption fields, and the policy concept is transforming to "investing in people", with the policy structure tilting towards the "demand side" [15][26][30] - **Monetary Policy**: The transmission from loose money to loose credit is不畅. The growth rate of social financing excluding government bonds in the first eight months was only about 6%, and the credit balance growth rate has dropped to 6.8%. There is still a strong need for interest rate cuts. On the one hand, the current loose money in the country has a weak driving effect on credit expansion. On the enterprise side, the real return rate is still declining, and the housing mortgage rate is still relatively high. In the fourth quarter, monetary policy will cooperate with fiscal policy, be precise and targeted. The central bank may cut reserve requirements and interest rates to provide liquidity, and 50 billion yuan of new policy - based financial instruments will be accelerated for establishment and investment [31][38][50] - **Economic Structure**: The domestic economy is in a "great differentiation" stage, with significant differences in nominal and real growth rates at the aggregate level, cycle fluctuations and structural growth at the structural level, and growth rates between traditional and new industries at the industrial level. The restart of the economic cycle depends on the repair of the private sector's balance sheet. Currently, the inventory cycle has a long duration but low height, and the cycle is flattened due to the real - estate market and private - enterprise cash - flow pressure [51][56][57] Fourth - Quarter Stock Index Outlook - **Overall Performance**: Since the third quarter, A - shares have truly outperformed the global market. Although the macro - environment has fluctuated greatly this year, global stock markets have performed well, and A - shares have achieved excess returns since the third quarter [65][69] - **Sector Differentiation**: The trading volume of A - shares has increased, with the 5 - day average turnover exceeding 3 trillion yuan, but it has declined since September. There is large differentiation among sectors, with the difference between the best - performing ChiNext Index and the worst - performing SSE 50 Index reaching nearly 40% [76] - **Deviation from Fundamentals**: The rise of global stock markets is supported by fundamentals, such as the upward - trending manufacturing PMI in four continents. However, China's manufacturing PMI has been below the boom - bust line since April, and macro - indicators have declined in the second quarter. Historically, A - share bull markets have been accompanied by fundamental repairs, and the current ROE of the whole A - share market is flat, while that of the ChiNext and Sci - tech Innovation Board is rebounding [80][85] - **Driving Factors**: The rise of A - shares is mainly driven by valuation. In the third quarter, the expected price - to - earnings ratio has risen significantly and returned to the 2021 level, while the expected profit level has been revised down after the earnings season. In the long term, the valuation center of A - shares is declining, and short - term valuation increases will lead to a greater return to fundamentals in the medium term [86][96] - **Positive Factors**: The entry of the national team and technological breakthroughs in the technology industry provide positive expected returns for the stock market. Residents have about 44.3 trillion yuan in excess deposits. The entry of residents' deposits into the stock market is in the early stage, and high - risk preference funds are the first to enter, such as margin - trading funds. The abnormal increase in non - bank deposits and the rapid expansion of margin - trading balances occurred from July to August [97][108] - **Outlook and Strategy**: In September, the A - share market fluctuated at a high level, and the sector differences further widened. In the fourth quarter, the stock index is in a high - valuation area, and more funds are needed to maintain its strength. The national team will control market fluctuations. The volatility of the stock market will decrease in the fourth quarter, and opportunities in sub - sectors and sub - industries may be boosted by the "15th Five - Year Plan". The Shanghai Composite Index is expected to range from 3674 to 4000 points, corresponding to a space of about [-4%, +4%]. For hedging, short - hedging positions can be gradually opened; for unilateral trading, IF, IC, and IM should be evenly allocated; for arbitrage, a combination of long IM and short IF/IC can be selected [118]
氧化铝及铝四季度展望与策略
Dong Zheng Qi Huo· 2025-09-26 05:44
Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The aluminum element shows a serious oversupply situation from the mine end, and there is a certain downward pressure on overseas ore prices in the long - term, but the price decline speed and amplitude are controllable before Guinea's monopoly status is shaken [21]. - The alumina industry is in a state of large - scale oversupply and is under import pressure. The price needs to break through the high - cost part of the industry. The Q4 price bottom may test 2700 - 2800 yuan, and mid - term long positions can be considered below 2700 yuan [47]. - The cost of domestic electrolytic aluminum in Q4 is expected to decline, and the supply will continue to increase both domestically and overseas. The demand growth rate will face downward pressure, but the low supply and inventory will support the aluminum price, and the price does not have a basis for rapid upward movement [51][62][64][72][91]. Summary by Related Catalogs Aluminum Ore - Overseas - The latest transaction price range of Guinea's bauxite is 73 - 75 dollars per dry ton, and the bauxite freight is maintained at 20 - 25 dollars per ton. In August, China imported 18.29 million tons of bauxite, a year - on - year increase of 18.2% and a month - on - month decrease of 8.8%. From January to August, the cumulative import was 141.5 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 31.4% [6][11]. - In 2025, overseas bauxite supply will continue to grow, with the main increment coming from Guinea (+50 million tons), Australia (+2 million tons), and Guyana (+5 million tons). There are many new projects planned in 2026, with a total planned increase of 62.5 million tons [13][14]. - The Q4 price game of Guinea's ore is expected to be 70 - 75 dollars, corresponding to the cash cost of alumina plants using imported ore in Shanxi and Henan of 2900 - 3100 yuan [14]. Aluminum Ore - Domestic - The domestic bauxite price remains stable. The含税 price of 58/5 ore in Shanxi is 700 yuan per ton, and that in Henan is 658 yuan per ton. From January to August, the domestic bauxite output was 40.86 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 7.83%. The domestic bauxite supply in Q4 is expected to have no significant improvement, and the output in 2025 is expected to be 62.3 million tons, an increase of 4.2 million tons (+7.2%) compared with 2024 [20]. Aluminum Ore - Conclusion - From January to August, the total domestic and imported bauxite was 182.36 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 25%, while the growth rate of electrolytic aluminum output was +2.7%. The aluminum element shows a serious oversupply situation from the mine end [21]. - Guinea has certain pricing power, but due to the high proportion of bauxite exports in local fiscal revenue, the government is difficult to intervene in supply on a large scale. Domestic mine governance policies will form long - term constraints on domestic ore and support global ore prices to some extent [21]. Alumina - Domestic - In August, the domestic alumina output was 8.1904 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 10.6%. From January to August, the cumulative output was 61.81 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 9.7%. The national alumina production capacity is 104.62 million tons (excluding zombie capacity), with an operating capacity of 97.95 million tons and an operating rate of 93.6% [22]. - The alumina supply continues to recover when there are profits. There are new capacity plans in 2025 and 2026, with over 8 million tons of new projects in 2026, and the supply pressure in the second half of 2025 still exists [29][30][32]. Alumina - Overseas - There are many new production plans for overseas alumina in 2025 and 2026, with a total of 10 million tons in 2025 and 8.5 million tons in 2026. The overseas alumina supply is in a state of oversupply [34]. Alumina - Strategy - The alumina industry returns to cost - based pricing. High - cost projects in Shanxi and Henan need to withdraw to repair the supply - demand balance sheet. The Q4 price bottom may test 2700 - 2800 yuan, and mid - term long positions can be considered below 2700 yuan [47]. Electrolytic Aluminum Cost - The current real - time full cost of domestic electrolytic aluminum is over 16,000 yuan per ton, and the industry's theoretical profit is over 4,000 yuan per ton. The cost of domestic electrolytic aluminum in Q4 is expected to decline, with the cost center dropping to 15,500 - 16,500 yuan per ton [51]. Supply - Domestic Electrolytic Aluminum - The domestic electrolytic aluminum supply has been released as expected, with a net import of 1.56 million tons of primary aluminum from January to August, and the import scale of Russian aluminum exceeding expectations. There will still be a small amount of capacity release in Q4 2025, with a total of 370,000 tons, and the output in 2025 is expected to be 44.025 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.9% [59][62]. Supply - Overseas Electrolytic Aluminum - The overseas electrolytic aluminum supply shows a slight increasing trend in 2025. The amount of electrolytic aluminum capacity to be increased and restarted in Q4 is 290,000 tons. The overseas supply pressure will gradually increase from 2026, mainly concentrated in Chinese - funded projects in Indonesia [64][66][67]. Consumption - From January to August, the cumulative consumption of electrolytic aluminum increased by 3.7% year - on - year. The demand in the first half of the year was better than expected, but the photovoltaic demand will definitely weaken in the second half of the year, the growth rate of household appliance demand is under pressure, and the automobile demand has a downward risk. The demand in Q4 will improve compared with Q3, but the year - on - year growth rate will face greater downward pressure [72]. Balance Sheet & Core Viewpoints - The macro - environment has long - term uncertainties. The long - term supply - demand of global electrolytic aluminum is generally healthy. The aluminum price in Q4 is supported by low supply and inventory, but the demand is not very optimistic, and the price does not have a basis for rapid upward movement. The recommended strategy is to pay attention to long - buying opportunities at low prices in the medium - long term and maintain rolling operations [91].
