Report on the Steel Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - In August, the apparent demand for steel decreased month-on-month, the supply-demand gap widened, and inventory accumulation was obvious. In September - October, there is an expectation of seasonal strengthening in demand. If the apparent demand recovers, the supply-demand gap will narrow, and inventory accumulation will slow down, but high production still tests the demand - absorbing capacity during the peak season. Currently, steel prices have fallen from high levels. Unilateral short - selling space is limited, and selling out - of - the - money put options can be considered. With the obvious contraction of steel mill profits and considering the expected reduction in coking coal production, going long on the steel - iron ore ratio can be considered [1]. Summary by Directory Steel Prices and Spreads - The prices of various steel products such as rebar and hot - rolled coils in different regions and contracts have decreased, with rebar 10 - contract dropping by 51 yuan/ton and hot - rolled coil 01 - contract dropping by 43 yuan/ton [1].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - Yesterday, black commodities declined significantly, with iron ore and coking coal showing signs of catch - up decline. In August, steel apparent demand decreased month - on - month, and the supply - demand gap widened, leading to obvious inventory accumulation. The rebar market weakened first, and the spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar widened. - Entering September - October, there is an expectation of seasonal strengthening in demand. If the apparent demand recovers, the supply - demand gap will narrow, and inventory accumulation will slow down. However, high production levels still test the ability to absorb demand during the peak season. - Currently, steel prices have fallen from their highs. Rebar and hot - rolled coils have dropped to around 3100 yuan/ton and 3300 yuan/ton respectively, and the profit per ton of steel has declined significantly. - In terms of operations, the space for unilateral short - selling is limited. One can sell out - of - the - money put options. Considering the significant contraction of steel mill profits and the expected reduction in coking coal production, one can consider going long on the ratio of steel to iron ore [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The global shipment volume of iron ore has increased significantly month - on - month to a high for the year, and the arrival volume at 45 ports has risen. Based on recent shipment data, the average arrival volume will continue to increase gradually in the short term. - During the military parade in Tangshan, production restrictions and maintenance increased slightly, and the molten iron output decreased slightly from its high but remained at around 2.4 million tons per day. The impact of production restrictions this week will be reflected in molten iron output. - In terms of inventory, port inventory decreased slightly, the outbound shipment volume decreased month - on - month, and steel mills' equity iron ore inventory decreased month - on - month. - After the military parade, molten iron output will decline slightly from its high, but the impact is not significant. Currently, there is no strong driving force for a significant increase in the fundamentals. Since steel mills' profitability is still relatively high, molten iron output will remain at a high level in September. - On the 28th, the work plan for stabilizing growth in the steel industry was released, proposing to strictly prohibit new production capacity and implement production reduction to control the total volume. The demand during the "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" period is questionable. - In terms of strategies, it is recommended to short - sell on rallies in the short - term for unilateral trading, and for arbitrage, it is recommended to go long on iron ore and short on coking coal [3]. Coke and Coking Coal Industry Coke - Coke futures have been fluctuating and falling recently, with sharp price fluctuations. After the spot price increase, it has temporarily stabilized, and the port trade quotation has slightly declined following the futures. - On the supply side, after the price increase was implemented, coking profits improved, but due to production restrictions in Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places, coking enterprise operations decreased slightly. - On the demand side, the molten iron output from blast furnaces has declined from its high. This week, molten iron output may continue to decline, but the impact is limited due to the short duration. - In terms of inventory, coking plants, ports, and steel mills have all seen slight inventory increases. The overall inventory is at a medium level. - The steel industry's work plan for stabilizing growth is negative for coke demand. It is recommended to short - sell on rallies for speculation, and for arbitrage, it is recommended to go long on iron ore and short on coke [5]. Coking Coal - Coking coal futures have been fluctuating and falling recently, with sharp price fluctuations. The spot auction price is stable with a weak trend, and the Mongolian coal quotation is running weakly. - On the supply side, due to recent mine accidents and coal mine shutdowns for rectification, coal mine operations have decreased slightly month - on - month, sales have slowed down, and some coal mines have started to accumulate inventory. In terms of imported coal, the price of Mongolian coal has fallen following the futures, and downstream users are cautious about restocking. - On the demand side, due to production restrictions on Tangshan steel and coking in Shandong and Henan before the military parade, coking operations have decreased slightly, and the molten iron output from downstream blast furnaces has declined slightly from its high. This week, operations may continue to decline. - In terms of inventory, coal mines, ports, and borders have seen slight inventory increases, while coal washing plants, coking plants, and steel mills have seen slight inventory decreases. The overall inventory has decreased slightly from a medium level. - The production restrictions caused by the shutdown of individual coal mines in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Shaanxi are not enough to reverse the downward trend of the spot price. The coal price may continue to decline in September. It is recommended to short - sell the coking coal 01 contract on rallies for speculation, and for arbitrage, it is recommended to go long on iron ore and short on coking coal [5]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - Copper: The pricing of copper will return to macro trading. Without a clear recession expectation in the US, the medium - and long - term supply - demand contradiction provides bottom support. Copper prices will at least remain volatile. The main contract is expected to be in the range of 78,500 - 80,500. [1] - Aluminum: The alumina market shows a pattern of "high supply, high inventory, and weak demand", with limited upside and downside space, and the main contract is expected to be in the range of 2,900 - 3,200 yuan/ton. The aluminum market presents a resonance pattern of improved macro - expectations and fundamentals, but high prices suppress downstream purchases. The short - term is expected to fluctuate in the range of 20,400 - 21,000 yuan/ton. [3] - Aluminum Alloy: The casting aluminum alloy futures price fluctuates downward with the aluminum price. If the import ratio remains stable and the supply of imported aluminum alloy ingots and scrap aluminum is limited, the spot price is expected to remain firm, and the price difference between aluminum alloy and aluminum is expected to further converge. The main contract is expected to be in the range of 20,000 - 20,600 yuan/ton. [5] - Zinc: The supply side of zinc has a loose expectation, and the price may mainly fluctuate. The upward continuous rebound requires an unexpected improvement in demand and a continuous improvement in the non - recession interest - rate cut expectation. The downward breakthrough requires an unexpected strengthening of TC and continuous inventory accumulation. The main contract is expected to be in the range of 21,500 - 23,000. [7] - Tin: Affected by national policies, the market has positive expectations for domestic AI demand, boosting the tin price. If the supply recovers smoothly, a short - selling strategy is recommended; if the supply recovery is less than expected, the tin price is expected to continue to oscillate at a high level, with an operating range of 265,000 - 285,000. [9] - Nickel: The short - term nickel price is expected to adjust within a range, with the main contract in the range of 118,000 - 126,000. The medium - term supply is expected to be loose, which restricts the upside space of the price. [11] - Stainless Steel: The short - term stainless steel price is expected to oscillate within a range, with the main contract in the range of 12,600 - 13,400. The raw material price is firm, providing cost support, but the spot demand is weak. [13] - Lithium Carbonate: The lithium carbonate price is expected to mainly oscillate widely after the price center moves down, with the main contract in the range of 72,000 - 78,000. The supply - side news has not been fully settled before the end of September, and the fundamental improvement provides support for the price. [15] 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views Sugar - Supply expectations are increasing, making it difficult for raw sugar to rise. However, there is a risk of downward revision of Brazil's sugar production, which provides some support for sugar prices. Overall, raw sugar lacks a driving force and is expected to consolidate in the range of 15 - 17 cents per pound in the short term. The domestic sugar price maintains a wide - range oscillation pattern with limited upside and downside space. The 01 contract is expected to oscillate narrowly around 5500 - 5700 yuan per ton [2]. Meal and Soybean - The expected high yield of US soybeans and the high - level good - quality rate suppress market bullish sentiment. The pattern of strong supply and weak demand of US soybeans suppresses the market. Although the domestic concern about future supply has gradually eased and the spot market is loose, the cost side provides good support. The downward space of domestic meals is limited, and the cost support for domestic meals in the fourth quarter is still strong. The market shows signs of stabilization, and investors can consider going long on dips [4]. Pig - The spot price of pigs has strengthened slightly. The supply of pigs for slaughter has decreased. With the start of school and the cooling of the weather in the north, consumption has been driven to some extent. The market has certain confidence in future demand, and the sentiment of reluctance to sell at low prices has increased. However, there may still be a wave of concentrated slaughter before the Double Festival. The short - term supply tightening boosts the spot price, but the sustainable space is limited. The near - term volatility has intensified. The short - term 11 - contract may have some support, but the upside is limited. It is recommended to operate with caution [6]. Corn - Northeast traders have limited inventory, and the purchase and sales are inactive. They are more concerned about the new - season corn. The price in North China has stopped falling. Affected by rainy weather, the number of vehicles arriving at deep - processing plants in Shandong has decreased significantly. The new - season corn is expected to have a good harvest, and the market expects an increase in production. Starting from late September, the new - season corn will enter the peak listing period, which will put pressure on prices. On the demand side, deep - processing plants and feed enterprises have relatively sufficient inventory, and their purchasing enthusiasm is weak. In the short term, the market is in a rebound and consolidation stage, but the medium - term weak situation remains unchanged. Investors can consider shorting on rebounds [8][10]. Cotton - The upcoming new - cotton purchase situation on the supply side remains to be verified. Before the new cotton is listed, the inventory is still relatively tight. The demand has improved marginally since August, but the improvement in the downstream is not obvious, and the profits of textile enterprises have not improved significantly. The downstream industry lacks confidence in the traditional peak season, but the market still pays attention to whether there will be seasonal orders in September, which still provides some support for cotton prices. Overall, the operating center of cotton prices has risen, but there is no obvious driving force for a significant upward increase. It is expected to maintain a high - level oscillation in the range of 13500 - 14500 yuan per ton [11]. Oil - For palm oil, the import profit of Malaysian palm oil has increased. The Malaysian BMD crude palm oil futures are expected to stop falling and rebound, and the Dalian palm oil futures also have the opportunity to stop falling and rise, and are expected to return above 9500 yuan in the future. For soybean oil, the negative factors such as the possible reduction of US soybean oil industrial consumption and the end of the fuel consumption peak season have been digested by the market. The downside space of the CBOT soybean oil main contract is limited. Although the domestic soybean oil inventory is increasing, due to the start of the demand season, the spot basis quotation may still rise after oscillation [12]. Egg - In terms of supply, the number of newly - opened laying hens in September may be slightly less than that in August. In terms of demand, although there is some support from the Mid - Autumn Festival at the beginning of September, the market demand will weaken as the festival approaches and will decline rapidly after the festival. Overall, egg prices may rebound in early September, but the upside is limited, and a bearish view is maintained [15]. 3.
