Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2) Core Viewpoint of the Report The report focuses on the consumption demand of palladium. It points out that the demand structure of palladium shows significant overlap in core industrial fields but is highly concentrated in the automotive catalytic conversion. The total global demand for palladium has been stable but is expected to decline slightly in 2025. The price fluctuation of palladium is deeply bound to the automotive industry chain, and its demand in different fields has different trends and influencing factors. In the future, the market should focus on the expansion rhythm of traditional high - palladium - consuming fields, investment trends in emerging markets, and technology iteration trends [3][4][25]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Overall Situation of Palladium Demand - The demand for platinum - group metals (PGMs) in core industrial areas shows significant overlap, and the price formation has strong consistency. Palladium demand is highly concentrated in automotive catalysts, and its price is closely related to the automotive industry chain. The total global demand for palladium has remained stable at about 300 tons per year but is expected to decline slightly in 2025 [2][3][4]. - The consumption of palladium is diversified, mainly supported by the automotive, chemical, electrical and electronic, investment, dental and biomedical, pollution control and other fields. According to the WPIC forecast, the total demand for palladium will decline slightly in 2025 and will continue to decline slightly from 2025 - 2028 (compound annual growth rate of - 1%) [6][7]. Demand in Different Fields Automotive Field - The automotive industry is the most important demand side for palladium, accounting for 75% - 85% of global total demand in the past five years. Although facing challenges such as electrification and platinum substitution, the increase in palladium loading per gasoline vehicle has supported demand rigidity. In 2024, automotive palladium demand decreased by 5% to 258.6 tons, and it is predicted to decline by another 5% to about 246.5 tons in 2025 [14]. Chemical Field - The chemical field is a secondary demand side for palladium, accounting for 10% - 12% of total demand in the past five years. In 2024, the global demand was 17 tons.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2) Core View of the Report - The US July PCE inflation data met expectations with a slight increase from the previous month, having little impact on the interest rate cut expectation. Combined with the dovish remarks of the Fed Chairman and the Trump's dismissal of Cook, the market sentiment is to continue betting on a Fed rate cut in September. The intense battle in the Donetsk town between Russia and Ukraine and the death of multiple senior Houthi officials in the Israeli military air - strike led to the COMEX gold breaking through the key resistance level of $3,500 on Friday night. Attention can be paid to the two important resistance levels of 790 and 800 for Shanghai Gold on Monday. The factors such as the Fed likely entering an interest rate cut cycle in the second half of the year, the easing of global trade frictions, and the continuous gold purchases by global central banks are all positive for the gold price [6]. 3) Summary by Related Information - **US Economic Data**: The annual rate of the US July core PCE price index was 2.9%, in line with the expected 2.90% and up from the previous value of 2.80%. The COMEX gold price rose 2.89% to $3,516.10 per ounce [6][9]. - **Market Catalysts**: The dovish remarks of the Fed Chairman, the Trump's dismissal of Cook, the intense battle in the Donetsk town between Russia and Ukraine, and the death of multiple senior Houthi officials in the Israeli military air - strike influenced the gold market [6]. - **Gold Price Outlook**: The COMEX gold broke through the $3,500 key resistance level on Friday night, and attention can be paid to the 790 and 800 resistance levels of Shanghai Gold on Monday. The second - half factors like the Fed's possible interest rate cut cycle, the easing of global trade frictions, and the continuous gold purchases by global central banks are favorable for the gold price [6].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints of the Report - Steel prices are in a downward cycle with a roughly 7-year cycle, currently from 2021 - 2025. In the short term, the downside space for rebar and hot-rolled coils is limited. In the medium term, the low point of rebar and hot-rolled coils in the second half of the year is higher than that in the first half. The RB2510 contract is expected to have room for an upward movement after consolidating the bottom around 3100. The short-term range for the iron ore main contract 2601 is between 750 - 800 [4][7]. - Suggest trying to lay out long positions on the 2601 contract on dips in the medium term and setting stop-losses. Short the spread between hot-rolled coils and rebar on rallies for the 10 contract. Iron ore is suitable for short-term operations [4]. Summary According to the Table of Contents Part 1: Review - **Steel Price Trends**: Steel prices have a roughly 7-year cycle, currently in a downward phase from 2021 - 2025. In the first half of this year, steel prices fell continuously, hitting a new low in June. They rose significantly in July with a maximum increase of 16%, reaching a new high for the year, and then fell continuously in August [7][8]. - **Stainless Steel and Iron Ore Trends**: Stainless steel has been in a downward trend since 2022. Iron ore has a similar long - cycle to rebar and hot-rolled coils but with differences. It has been in a general downward trend since 2021, mainly in 2021, and has been in a wide - range oscillation between 555 - 955 from 2022 to now. Iron ore is more resistant to decline than rebar and hot-rolled coils. In the first half of the year, its lowest point was 671, not breaking last year's low of 641.5. It rose strongly in July, reaching a high of 835.5, and fluctuated between 760 - 805 in August. The main contract has been shifted to 2601 [12]. Part 2: Current Analysis - **Economic and Steel Price Relationship**: There is a high consistency between economic growth and steel prices when the investment contribution is relatively stable. The GDP growth rate in the first quarter was 5.4%, and the annual economic target is 5%. The economic growth rate in the second quarter was 5.3%, and the growth rate in the first half of the year was 5.3%, better than expected. Anti - involution may promote economic growth and boost steel prices [21]. - **Real Estate and Steel Consumption**: As the real estate industry adjusts, the steel consumption structure is changing, with the proportion of real estate steel consumption decreasing and that of manufacturing increasing. From January to July 2025, real estate indicators such as sales, investment, new construction, and construction area all showed negative growth, making the real estate industry a drag on steel consumption [24][27]. - **Infrastructure and Steel Consumption**: The scale of local government special bonds in 2025 reached 4.4 trillion yuan, a record high. Although the total infrastructure investment increased steadily in the first half of the year with a growth rate of 4.6%, the proportion of special bonds invested in traditional infrastructure may decline [30][33]. - **Manufacturing and Steel Consumption**: The growth rate of manufacturing investment has slightly declined. However, due to policies such as large - scale equipment updates and trade - in of consumer goods, the steel demand in industries such as automobiles, home appliances, energy, and machinery is increasing. The production and sales of automobiles and excavators have increased significantly, driving steel consumption [36]. - **Home Appliance and Steel Consumption**: In the first half of the year, the growth rate of most home appliances slowed down. The total production schedule of air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines in the second quarter increased compared with the same period last year, but the production schedule in the third quarter decreased significantly [42]. - **Steel Export**: Although the growth rate of steel exports in 2025 has declined compared with the previous two years, the absolute volume is still higher than the same period in previous years. However, due to the repeated US tariff policies and the increase in anti - dumping duties from major export countries, steel exports are facing obstacles [45]. - **Steel Production**: From January to July 2025, the national crude steel production was 594.47 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 3.1%; pig iron production was 505.83 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.3%. The profit of the ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry from January to July was 64.36 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 5175.4% [46][59]. - **Iron Ore Supply**: From January to July 2024, China's iron ore imports increased by 4.9% year - on - year. From January to July 2025, the cumulative imports were 696.569 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.3%. As of August 29, the iron ore port inventory at 45 ports was 137 million tons, and the daily average port clearance volume was 318,000 tons. In July 2025, the domestic iron concentrate production was 23.119 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.6% and a month - on - month decrease of 0.8% [64][65]. - **Analysis Logic and Trading Opportunities**: The rebar market structure has changed from backwardation to contango, while the hot - rolled coil market remains in backwardation. Pay attention to the phased trading opportunities of the spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar, and consider shorting the spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar for the 10 contract. Also, consider shorting the ratio of rebar to iron ore in October and November [71][80][81].

The report focuses on palladium production and supply, indicating that the overall supply shows a tightening trend, and the structural supply may support the medium - to - long - term price resilience [1][2]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Overall Situation of Palladium Production and Supply - Palladium is mainly in the form of palladium ingots and sponge palladium in the market. Palladium ingots are used for financial reserves and derivatives, while sponge palladium is widely used in industrial fields [2]. - Global palladium supply depends on mining and recycling. In 2024, the total supply was 294.3 tons, with 205.2 tons from mining and 91.5 tons from recycling. Russia and South Africa account for over 75% of mining supply. In 2025, the total supply is expected to reach 298.4 tons, a 1.4% increase year - on - year [2]. II. Mining Supply - Palladium is mainly a by - product of platinum and copper - nickel mining. Its extraction requires multiple processes. In 2024, global platinum and palladium production were about 170 tons and 190 tons respectively, with South Africa and Russia being the major producers [4]. - Global palladium mining supply fluctuates narrowly. Factors such as South Africa's power crisis, Russia's mining challenges, and declining ore grades limit supply. In 2025, the supply is expected to tighten slightly as producers cut capital expenditure and high - cost mines reduce production [5]. III. Recycling Supply - Recycled palladium accounts for 20% - 25% of the total supply. North America and Europe dominate the global recycling market, contributing about 65% in 2024. The industry is using advanced technologies to improve recovery rates [8]. - The supply of recycled palladium is driven by the vehicle报废周期. From 2024 - 2025, it is expected to recover moderately, reaching about 95 tons in 2025, mainly due to the normalization of scrapped vehicles in North America and Europe, but limited by recycling capacity and logistics efficiency [8].
