Report on the Steel Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - After the holiday, demand for steel is expected to seasonally recover, and inventory is expected to maintain a seasonal destocking trend. Although demand elasticity is limited, short - term supply and demand are basically balanced, and inventory pressure is not significant. - Before the holiday, the decline in steel prices was due to concerns about supply pressure and the expected swing of coal mine production cuts. During the holiday, there were disturbances on the iron ore supply side, which is expected to support steel prices to stabilize. - For trading strategies, the unilateral driving force is not obvious. In terms of arbitrage, reverse arbitrage on the monthly spread should be considered at high levels, and the spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar is expected to converge. [1] Summary by Directory Steel Prices and Spreads - Rebar and hot - rolled coil prices in different regions and contracts generally declined. For example, the spot price of rebar in East China dropped from 3240 yuan/ton to 3230 yuan/ton, and the 05 - contract price of hot - rolled coils decreased from 3298 yuan/ton to 3259 yuan/ton. [1] Cost and Profit - The price of steel billets decreased by 20 yuan/ton to 2950 yuan/ton, while the price of slab remained unchanged at 3730 yuan/ton. - Profits from steel products generally declined.

The production of five major steel products increased by 2.1 to 867.1, a 0.2% increase. - The inventory of five major steel products decreased by 37.8 to 1472.9, a 2.5% decrease. The inventory of rebar decreased by 34.1 to 602.3, a 5.4% decrease. [1] Transaction and Demand - Building material transactions decreased by 2.9 to 8.0, a 26.5% decrease. The apparent demand for five major steel products increased by 30.8 to 904.8, a 3.5% increase. The apparent demand for rebar increased by 20.6 to 241.1, a 9.4% increase. [1] Report on the Iron Ore Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - There have been many disturbances on the supply side of iron ore, but the overseas iron ore swap market has only shown a slight increase. Iron ore has a driving force for a rebound, but the upside space is limited. Attention should be paid to the actual arrival of BHP's shipments at ports. - For trading strategies, short - term investors can buy iron ore 2601 contracts at low levels in the price range of 760 - 830, go long on iron ore and short on hot - rolled coils, and buy out - of - the - money call options on iron ore 2601. [4] Summary by Directory Iron Ore - Related Prices and Spreads - The basis of the 01 - contract for different types of iron ore increased. For example, the basis of the 01 - contract for PB powder increased by 3.5 to 44.4, an 8.5% increase. - The 5 - 9 spread decreased by 0.5 to 19.0, a 2.6% decrease; the 9 - 1 spread increased by 1.0 to - 40.0, a 2.4% increase; the 1 - 5 spread decreased by 0.5 to 21.0, a 2.3% decrease.

[4] Report on the Coke and Coking Coal Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core Viewpoints Coke - After the holiday, there is an expectation of another round of price increases for coke, but due to the decline in steel prices and the compression of steel mill profits, there may be downward pressure on prices. Since the pre - holiday decline in the futures market has already factored in some of the downward expectations, the further downward space is limited, and the market is expected to fluctuate. - For trading strategies, operate in a fluctuating market with a price range of 1550 - 1650. Go long on coke and short on coking coal, and buy out - of - the - money call options on coke 2601 (over - the - counter) to bet on the post - holiday restocking expectation. [8] Coking Coal - Although there have been some disturbances on the supply side, considering the pre - holiday weak operation of the coking coal market, the impact is expected to be limited. The long - term import trade of coking coal will still maintain high profits, and the post - holiday customs clearance volume is expected to remain high, which will have a certain impact on the domestic coking coal market. Since the pre - holiday decline in the futures market has already factored in some of the downward expectations, the market is expected to fluctuate. - For trading strategies, operate in a fluctuating market with a price range of 1080 - 1180. Go long on coke and short on coking coal, and buy out - of - the - money call options on coking coal 2601 (over - the - counter) to bet on the policy - driven production reduction expectation. [8] Summary by Directory Coke - Related Prices and Spreads - The prices of coke contracts generally declined. For example, the 01 - contract price of coke decreased by 24 to 1623, a 1.5% decrease. The 01 - contract basis increased by 24. [8] Coking Coal - Related Prices and Spreads - The prices of coking coal contracts also declined. For example, the 01 - contract price of coking coal decreased by 28 to 1126, a 2.4% decrease. The 01 - contract basis increased by 23. [8] Supply and Demand - Coke production decreased slightly. The daily average output of all - sample coking plants decreased by 0.3 to 66.1, a 0.4% decrease. - The pig iron output decreased by 0.6 to 241.8, a 0.2% decrease. - Coke inventory decreased slightly, while coking coal inventory in some sectors increased.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided in the given reports. Core Views Oils and Fats - Palm oil: In September 2025, Malaysia's palm oil production was estimated at 1.81 million tons, down 2.35% month - on - month. Indonesia plans to implement B50 next year, which may lift the palm oil price after the holiday [1]. - Soybean oil: Sino - US negotiation issues have no substantial progress, and there is no news of China purchasing US soybeans. The abundant supply of US soybeans has pressured the CBOT soybean price, and US soybean oil may follow the downward trend of raw material prices [1]. Meal - During the National Day holiday, US soybeans fluctuated. China has not lifted the ban on US soybean purchases. Brazil's new soybean planting is progressing smoothly, suppressing the upside of US soybeans. In Q4 2025, China's soybean supply is sufficient, but there is a supply gap expected in Q1 2026, which may support the price of the 2601 contract. The uncertainty lies in Sino - US trade policies [2]. Sugar - Internationally, in the first half of September, sugar production in Brazil's central - southern region increased by 15.72% year - on - year. The raw sugar price has limited upward momentum due to supply pressure. Domestically, new sugar has been listed, and the sugar price is in the undervalued area, with limited room for further decline, expected to remain range - bound [4]. Corn - During the National Day, new - season corn harvest increased, and the spot price declined. With the concentrated listing of corn in mid - to - late October, the price is under pressure. The demand is weak currently, but there may be seasonal restocking needs later. Corn will maintain a weak trend [5]. Pork - During the National Day, the pig price dropped significantly, but there were signs of stabilization at the end of the holiday. In the short term, the spot price may stabilize, but in the long term, the supply pressure will continue, and the policy to reduce production capacity needs time to take effect. The futures operation is to short on rallies [9]. Cotton - US cotton is in a weak and volatile pattern. Domestically, due to the expected increase in supply and weak demand, the cotton price is weak. The purchase price of seed cotton has stabilized, and the overall cotton price is expected to be bearish [11]. Eggs - In October, the egg market will be in a pattern of relatively high supply and temporarily weak demand. The egg price will continue to decline in a volatile manner [15].

[1] Group 2: Iron Ore Industry Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - There are many disturbances on the supply side of iron ore, but the upward space is limited. It is necessary to pay attention to the actual arrival situation of BHP's shipments. The trading strategies include short - term long - position trading of iron ore 2601 in the price range of 760 - 830, long - iron - ore and short - hot - rolled coil, and buying out - of - the - money call options of iron ore 2601. [4] Summary by Directory - **Prices and Spreads**: The basis of some iron ore varieties for the 01 contract increased, such as the 01 contract basis of PB powder increased from 40.9 to 44.4 yuan/ton. The 5 - 9 spread decreased by 2.6% to 19.0. [4] - **Supply**: The 45 - port arrival volume increased by 10.5% to 2608.7 tons, the global shipment volume decreased by 5.7% to 3279.0 tons, and the national monthly import volume increased by 0.6% to 10522.5 tons.

[4] Group 3: Coke and Coking Coal Industry Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - For coke, after the festival, there is still an expectation of a price increase, but it may face downward pressure due to the decline in steel prices. The downward space is limited, and it is regarded as a volatile market. For coking coal, due to the impact of imports and the pre - holiday market, it is also regarded as a volatile market. [8] Summary by Directory - **Prices and Spreads**: The prices of coke and coking coal futures contracts generally declined. For example, the coke 01 contract decreased from 1647 to 1623 yuan/ton, and the coking coal 01 contract decreased from 1154 to 1126 yuan/ton.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views Methanol - The current market's core trading logic revolves around "high inventory + high imports." Port arrivals remain high, leading to significant inventory accumulation. Combined with a weakening trading atmosphere, prices are showing a downward trend. - Domestic supply is at a relatively high level year-on-year. Although there has been an increase in unplanned maintenance of some devices recently, there are expectations for some devices to resume production in early October. However, the inventory situation in the inland area is relatively healthy, providing some support for prices. - On the demand side, affected by the off - season of traditional downstream industries, overall demand is weak. In terms of valuation, upstream profits are at a neutral level, MTO profits have strengthened, and traditional downstream profits have slightly improved, resulting in an overall neutral valuation. - The current futures market is in a state of contention: on one hand, there is the real - world pressure of high inventory and weak basis; on the other hand, there is the expected support of overseas gas restrictions in the distant future. Attention should be paid to the emergence of an inventory inflection point [1]. Pure Benzene and Styrene - During the holiday, crude oil and naphtha prices both declined. Fundamentally, there are expectations for the resumption of production of some maintenance devices and the commissioning of new production capacity for pure benzene in the near future. Coupled with the expected increase in imports in the fourth quarter, domestic pure benzene supply is expected to remain at a relatively high level. - In terms of demand, most downstream pure benzene products are currently operating at a loss, and the secondary - downstream inventory of some products is high. There has been an increase in unplanned production cuts in some downstream industries, and there is significant uncertainty in demand growth, providing limited support. Overall, the supply - demand outlook for pure benzene remains loose, and the price driving force is weak. - For styrene, during the holiday, crude oil, naphtha, and styrene spot prices all declined. There are expectations for the commissioning of new devices and the resumption of production of previously shut - down devices after the holiday, so supply is expected to increase. Although there are still some devices planning to shut down, it is difficult to fully offset the pressure from new and resumed production. - On the demand side, there is rigid demand support during the downstream seasonal peak season, but the profits of some downstream industries are under pressure, and finished - product inventory remains high, so demand - side support may be limited. The supply - demand outlook for styrene is also loose, with high port inventory and weak cost - side support. After the holiday, styrene prices are expected to remain under pressure [3]. Polyolefins (LLDPE and PP) - PE maintenance has reached a peak, and the operating rate is gradually recovering. Inventory in the upstream and mid - stream has decreased this week. Future attention should be paid to the supply rhythm and import offers. - Before the holiday, the CP settlement price decreased, and PDH device profits were restored. Future attention should be paid to the resumption of PP devices. - On the demand side, there are no bright spots. After the holiday, there is significant inventory pressure. Coupled with the launch of new production capacity, there is a large pressure for inventory accumulation in the 01 contract, which limits the upside potential [5]. PVC and Caustic Soda - For caustic soda, most mid - and downstream enterprises were on holiday during the festival, and there was no obvious fluctuation in the spot market. Before the holiday, the futures market continued to weaken. After the National Day, as non - aluminum inventory is digested and decreases, there may be some purchasing willingness due to low prices. - The downstream inventory of the main alumina producers is high, and the willingness to replenish inventory is also low. The delivery volume of large Shandong manufacturers was high before the holiday, and there is an expectation of a downward adjustment in future purchase prices. Alumina production capacity is at a high level, and there is an over - supply problem. It is expected that production cuts may not occur until January. Therefore, there is still some support for short - term caustic soda demand. - From the perspective of the commissioning schedule, there will be a large number of alumina commissionings in the first quarter of next year. Therefore, there may be concentrated inventory replenishment in the fourth quarter of this year, which may tighten the spot liquidity. It is expected that there is limited downside space for caustic soda in the future, and attention should be paid to the downstream inventory replenishment rhythm. - For PVC, most mid - and downstream enterprises were on holiday during the festival, and spot trading was light. Before the holiday, the PVC futures market weakened and fluctuated. The supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals is still difficult to resolve, and both futures and spot prices are weakening. - On the supply side, production remains at a high level, and the over - supply situation is prominent. On the demand side, there has been no obvious performance during the peak season, and the demand for profiles has continued to shrink, showing obvious characteristics of a non - peak season. - Overall, the willingness of upstream producers to hold inventory has decreased. However, exports have alleviated some of the over - supply pressure. The cost of raw material calcium carbide is on an upward trend, and ethylene prices are stable, providing bottom - level support for costs. After the holiday, attention should be paid to cost support. It is expected that there is limited downside space for PVC during the peak season, and attention should be paid to downstream demand performance [7]. Polyester Industry Chain - For PX, during the holiday, international oil prices fluctuated within a range. The main trading logic was that OPEC + announced only a slight increase in production in January, which was lower than market expectations, temporarily alleviating supply pressure. Currently, the domestic PX operating rate remains high. - On the demand side, due to continuously low PTA processing fees, the commissioning of new PTA devices has been delayed, and there are maintenance expectations for multiple PTA devices. The supply - demand outlook for PX in the fourth quarter is weak, and there is an expectation of PXN compression. The overall trend during the National Day holiday was weak. It is expected that PX will continue to fluctuate weakly after the holiday. - For PTA, due to continuously low processing fees, the commissioning of new PTA devices has been postponed, and there are maintenance expectations for multiple PTA devices. Some devices have reduced or stopped production due to the impact of typhoons, so PTA supply is expected to contract. - Coupled with the pre - holiday downstream inventory replenishment demand, the PTA basis has been slightly repaired, but the expected upward space is limited. The overall trend during the National Day holiday was weak. It is expected that the driving force for PTA after the holiday will be limited, and it will continue to fluctuate weakly. - For ethylene glycol, during the holiday, there were many foreign - owned vessel arrivals. It is expected that port inventory will increase significantly after the holiday. In addition, the restart of the Satellite Petrochemical device and the commissioning of the new Yulong Petrochemical device in October will keep domestic supply at a high level, and the supply - demand situation will gradually weaken. Therefore, it is expected that there will be upward pressure on ethylene glycol after the holiday. - For short - fiber, the supply - demand pattern is weak. Currently, short - fiber supply remains at a high level. On the demand side, the market replenished inventory before the holiday, and the inventory of directly - spun polyester short - fiber has been continuously decreasing. It is expected that short - fiber will be relatively more supported than raw materials in the short term, but the driving force is limited, and its rhythm will mainly follow the raw materials. - For bottle - grade polyester chips, there is no news of further production cuts in October. The fourth quarter is the traditional off - season for bottle - grade polyester chips. Considering the gradual cooling of the weather in October, the demand for soft drinks and catering will decline slightly, and the demand side provides insufficient support. Therefore, bottle - grade polyester chips are likely to enter a seasonal inventory - reduction channel, and PR will mainly follow the cost side, with upward pressure on processing fees [8].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Oils and Fats - In the palm oil market, MPOA estimates Malaysia's September 2025 palm oil production at 1.81 million tons, a 2.35% month - on - month decrease. Analysts predict an average production of 1.79 million tons, a 3.3% decrease. Exports are estimated at 1.427 million tons, a 7.7% increase, and inventory at 2.15 million tons, a 2.5% decrease. Indonesia's plan to implement B50 bio - diesel may raise the palm oil price after the holiday. In the soybean oil market, due to the lack of progress in Sino - US negotiations and sufficient US soybean supply, CBOT soybean prices are under pressure, and US soybean oil may follow suit [1]. Meal Products - During the National Day holiday, US soybeans fluctuated and strengthened slightly. Although there are expectations of negotiations, China has not resumed US soybean purchases. Brazil's new soybean planting is progressing smoothly, suppressing the upside of US soybean prices. There are gaps in China's ship orders for November and December, supporting Brazilian premiums. China's soybean supply is sufficient in Q4 2025 but may be short in Q1 2026. The uncertainty lies in Sino - US trade policies. Currently, domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories are high, and the spot price is expected to remain weak. The M2601 contract is expected to be cautiously bullish in the 2900 - 2950 range [2]. Sugar - Internationally, in the first half of September, Brazil's central - southern sugar production increased by 15.72% year - on - year to 3.62 million tons. The raw sugar price has limited upward momentum due to supply pressure. Domestically, the new sugar season has started in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, and after the holiday stocking, the market is quiet. Considering natural disasters, the domestic sugar price is in a relatively undervalued area, with limited room for further decline, and is expected to remain range - bound between 5400 - 5600 [4]. Corn and Corn Starch - During the National Day holiday, new - season corn harvest increased, and the spot price decreased with the supply. With the concentrated listing of corn in mid - October, the price is under pressure due to good harvest expectations and lower production costs. The demand is currently weak, but feed and processing enterprises may replenish inventory seasonally. Corn is expected to remain weak during the concentrated listing period [5]. Livestock (Pigs) - During the National Day holiday, pig prices dropped significantly, with spot prices below 6 yuan per catty. The pressure on supply will continue to be released in the fourth quarter due to increased出栏 volume and weight gain. Policy - driven capacity reduction will take time to show results. The spot price is expected to face pressure until the first half of next year. The trading strategy for the futures market is to short on rallies [9]. Cotton - US cotton prices are oscillating weakly near a six - month low due to the lack of key crop data after the US government shutdown. Domestically, the supply increase and weak demand have put downward pressure on cotton prices. During the National Day holiday, the purchase price of cottonseed stabilized, but the procurement of lint by textile enterprises almost stopped. Overall, the cotton price is expected to remain bearish [11]. Eggs - In October, the egg market is expected to have relatively high supply and weak demand. The egg price is likely to continue to decline due to high inventory levels, lack of strong demand after the holidays, and cautious market sentiment [15]. 3.

Core Viewpoints - China's natural gas supply security has been significantly enhanced, with production achieving leap - forward growth in the past decade [7]. - China's natural gas consumption has doubled in the past decade, and the energy consumption structure has been continuously optimized [13]. 3. Summary by Sections China's Natural Gas Supply - **Production Growth**: From 2015 to 2024, China's natural gas production increased from 126.9 billion cubic meters to 246.5 billion cubic meters, with a continuous year - on - year increase of over 10 billion cubic meters for 8 consecutive years. In 2024, the increments of conventional and unconventional natural gas production compared to 2015 were basically the same. China's share of global natural gas production rose from 3.9% in 2015 to 6% in 2024 [2][7]. - **Exploration and New Reserves**: In 2024, China's newly discovered geological reserves of natural gas (including shale gas and coalbed methane) exceeded 1.6 trillion cubic meters. Unconventional natural gas production reached about 109.7 billion cubic meters in 2024, accounting for 44.5% of the total [8]. - **Production Regions**: The main production areas are in the northwest, southwest, and north of China. The Sichuan Basin, Ordos Basin, and Tarim Basin are major on - shore production bases, with outputs exceeding 74 billion, 74 billion, and 36 billion cubic meters respectively in 2024. Offshore production exceeded 25 billion cubic meters. These four regions accounted for 84.7% of the national total. Provinces with annual production over 10 billion cubic meters in 2024 were Sichuan, Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Guangdong, together accounting for 82.8% [2][9]. - **Production Enterprises**: "Three Big Oil" companies (CNPC, Sinopec, and CNOOC) dominated the supply, accounting for 88.3% of the total production in 2024. CNPC produced 158.6 billion cubic meters (64.3% of the national total), Sinopec 39.7 billion cubic meters (16.1%), and CNOOC 19.4 billion cubic meters (7.9%) [10].
