Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core View The report focuses on the current global trade situation where in 2025, China's imports of soybeans from the US and rapeseed from Canada have dropped significantly. It analyzes the supply - demand patterns and challenges in the global and domestic markets of soybeans and rapeseed, and uses scenario assumptions to predict future market trends [1]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 CBOT Soybean's Operating Cycle - The CBOT soybean has a strong cyclicality. From 2001 to the present, there is a complete cycle of rise, fall, and bottom operation about every 5 years. The cycle is related to the profit - loss cycle of US soybean growers and the La Nina - El Nino cycle. The bottom of the cycle usually has at least one year of grinding time, and the bottom - shock range since 2006 has generally been between 800 - 1000 cents per bushel, which is also the psychological bottom price for investors. Currently, the downward space for US soybeans is limited, and there may be a new upward trend in 0 - 12 months [5]. - From 2001 - 2015, the three cycles had a similar rhythm, with a 3 - year upward cycle and a 2 - year downward cycle. In the past 10 years, due to Sino - US trade frictions and the changing US foreign trade policy, the upward cycle of US soybeans ended earlier, and the downward cycle was significantly extended [7]. 3.2 Impact of Trade Policy on US Soybeans and Canadian Rapeseed - As of August 14, 2025, the new - crop US soybeans for the 2025/26 season had only sold 585 tons, far lower than last year's 754 tons and the 5 - year average of 1427 tons. The USDA has lowered the export forecast for 2025/26 to 4640 tons. If China restarts US soybean procurement and reaches a trade agreement, US soybean exports may increase, and the CBOT soybean price is expected to rise. Otherwise, the price may face pressure [8][11]. - In August 2025, China imposed a 75.8% anti - dumping margin on Canadian rapeseed. Since China's dependence on Canadian rapeseed imports exceeds 95%, there will be a gap of about 250 tons per year. China may increase imports from Australia, but Australian rapeseed production is unstable. This shortage will raise the bottom price of rapeseed meal [12]. 3.3 How Supply Contradictions Affect the Domestic Meal Market - As of the end of August 2025, there is still a large gap in the November, December, and January 2026 shipping schedules. Different scenarios are considered: - If an agreement is reached between China and the US this year, domestic oil mills may increase US soybean procurement, driving the M1 - 5 spread to weaken. US soybeans are expected to rise by 5% - 10%, while domestic soybean meal may rise passively or remain flat [16]. - If an agreement is not reached but China purchases some US soybean contracts during the negotiation, the short - term market will fluctuate greatly. The domestic supply shortage cannot be fully alleviated, and soybean meal will maintain a volatile upward pattern [16]. - If there is no agreement, Brazilian soybeans can meet China's demand in the short term, but as Brazilian inventory declines, the premium will rise. The domestic M2601 contract may follow the upward trend and could reach the 3250 - 3500 range [16]. - The absolute price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal is usually between 400 - 800 yuan/ton. When the price difference is ≤ 400 yuan/ton, the substitution of soybean meal for rapeseed meal is significant; when it is ≥ 800 yuan/ton, the substitution of rapeseed meal for soybean meal may occur. Currently, the price difference is around 550 yuan/ton, and the substitution sensitivity is increasing. The domestic rapeseed meal supply is tight in the long - term and loose in the short - term, and the price difference may strengthen after the peak season of aquaculture [17][19].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Copper - The copper market presents a state of "weak reality + stable expectation." The weak reality lies in the expected decline in demand in the second half of the year, while the stable expectation is that the improvement of interest - rate cut expectations and the intensification of domestic stimulus policies will boost the price. In the absence of a clear recession expectation in the US, copper prices will at least remain volatile, and entering a new upward cycle requires the resonance of the commodity and financial attributes of copper. The reference range for the main contract is 78,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum - **Alumina**: The market is in an overall supply - surplus pattern. Although cost support and some factory overhauls exist, the short - term weakness is hard to change. The reference range for the main contract is 3,000 - 3,300 yuan/ton. Mid - term, one can consider short - selling on rallies [3]. - **Electrolytic Aluminum**: In the short term, the market sentiment is cautiously optimistic. However, supply pressure remains, and cost support is weakening. The short - term is expected to oscillate in the range of 20,400 - 21,000 yuan/ton. If demand does not improve and capital sentiment cools, the price may fall after rising [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The fundamentals are showing marginal improvement. The supply of scrap aluminum is tightening, and costs are under pressure. Demand in the communication die - casting sector is picking up, while that in the automotive sector is still weak. Spot prices are expected to remain relatively firm, and the price difference between aluminum alloy and aluminum is expected to narrow. The reference range for the main contract is 20,000 - 20,600 yuan/ton [4]. Zinc - The supply is loose, and the demand is weak, which is not sufficient to boost the continuous upward movement of zinc prices. However, the depletion of overseas inventories provides price support. The short - term may still be dominated by oscillations. The reference range for the main contract is 21,500 - 23,000 yuan/ton [6]. Tin - Affected by national policies, the market has positive expectations for domestic AI demand, which boosts the upward movement of tin prices. If the supply of tin ore from Myanmar recovers smoothly, short - selling on rallies is the main strategy; if the recovery is less than expected, tin prices are expected to remain high and volatile [8]. Nickel - The macro - sentiment is stabilizing, and costs provide certain support. The supply - demand fundamentals have not changed significantly. The short - term is expected to be adjusted within a range, and the reference range for the main contract is 118,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton [10]. Stainless Steel - The cost support remains, but the market sentiment is still cautious due to weak spot demand. The short - term is expected to oscillate within a range, and the reference range for the main contract is 12,600 - 13,400 yuan/ton [12]. Lithium Carbonate - The market sentiment is weak, and the fundamentals are in a tight balance. Supply contraction expectations are gradually being realized, and demand is showing a positive trend. The short - term price has limited downward space, and upward breakthroughs require new drivers. The main contract price is expected to be in the range of 70,000 - 82,000 yuan/ton [16]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Not provided in the given reports. 2. Core Views Steel Industry - Yesterday, influenced by the expectation of crude steel production reduction in the 2025 - 2026 steel industry's stable - growth plan, steel prices strengthened slightly, but the night - session performance was weak. Weekly data shows an increase in steel production, low off - season apparent demand, and inventory accumulation. Considering the seasonality of rebar demand, it is expected that the apparent demand for rebar will rise during the peak season, driving up the apparent demand for the five major steel products. With the expectation of supply - side contraction and steel demand not stalling and coking coal not resuming production, steel prices are expected to remain in a high - level oscillatory pattern. It is advisable to wait and see for now [1]. Iron Ore Industry - As of yesterday's afternoon close, the iron ore 2601 contract showed an oscillatory rebound. Fundamentally, the global iron ore shipment volume decreased from a high level, and the arrival volume at 45 ports declined. However, based on recent shipment data, the subsequent average arrival volume will increase periodically. On the demand side, last week, the steel mills' profit margins were at a relatively high level. During the Tangshan military parade, production restrictions and maintenance increased slightly, and the molten iron output decreased slightly from a high level but remained around 240,000 tons per day. The impact of production restrictions will be reflected in the molten iron output next week. The data of the five major steel products shows that the recent increase in steel production and apparent demand supports iron ore. In terms of inventory, port inventory decreased slightly, the port clearance volume decreased, and the steel mills' equity ore inventory decreased. Looking ahead, the molten iron output will decline slightly before and after the military parade, but the impact is not significant. Currently, there is no strong driving force for a sharp rise in the fundamentals. Since the steel mills' profit margins are still high, the molten iron output in September will remain at a high level. On the 28th, the steel industry's stable - growth work plan was released, proposing to strictly prohibit new production capacity and implement production reduction to control the total volume, driving the resonance rise of black - series products. Strategically, it is recommended to short - sell on rallies in the short - term and recommend the arbitrage strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coking coal [3][5]. Coke Industry - As of yesterday's afternoon close, the coke futures showed an oscillatory rebound, with recent prices fluctuating sharply. The coke spot price increase was implemented, and the port trade quotes followed the increase. On the supply side, due to the implementation of price increases, the coking profit improved. However, due to production restrictions in Hebei, Henan, etc., the coking enterprises' operation rate decreased slightly. On the demand side, the molten iron output decreased from a high level, but downstream demand still had resilience. In terms of inventory, the coking plants, ports, and steel mills all had a slight inventory increase, and the overall inventory was at a medium level. Due to tight supply - demand and logistics factors, downstream steel mills still had inventory replenishment needs, and the delayed arrival of goods was the reason for the recent strength of the coke spot. Tangshan's production restrictions are beneficial to finished steel products, and Shandong and Henan also have production - restriction requirements for coking. In the short term, the tight supply - demand situation will be maintained, but as the coking profit improves, the coke supply will gradually become more abundant. The steel industry's stable - growth work plan was released, driving the resonance rise of black - series products. Speculatively, it is recommended to short - sell on rallies, and the arbitrage strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coke is recommended [6]. Coking Coal Industry - As of yesterday's afternoon close, the coking coal futures showed an oscillatory rebound, with recent prices fluctuating sharply. The spot auction prices were stable with a weak trend, and the Mongolian coal quotes were weakly stable. On the spot side, the recent domestic coking coal auctions have weakened. After the price rose to a high level, the downstream procurement willingness decreased, and some coal types declined. Currently, the overall situation is weakly stable. On the supply side, due to recent mine accidents and coal mine shutdowns for rectification, the coal mine operation rate decreased slightly month - on - month, sales slowed down, and some coal mines started to accumulate inventory. In terms of imported coal, the Mongolian coal price followed the futures price down. Due to the high price, the downstream users' inventory replenishment has been cautious recently. On the demand side, due to the pre - parade production restrictions in Tangshan's steel industry and coking production restrictions in Shandong and Henan, the coking operation rate decreased slightly, and the downstream molten iron output decreased slightly from a high level. In terms of inventory, the coal mines, ports, and border crossings had a slight inventory increase, while the coal washing plants, coking plants, and steel mills had a slight inventory decrease. The overall inventory decreased slightly from a medium level. The spot market weakened after a slight correction and is currently weakly stable. The near - month contract is approaching delivery, and the warehouse - receipt delivery exerts some pressure on the 09 contract. The far - month valuation is still at a premium compared to the near - month Mongolian coal warehouse receipt. The Fujian Datian mine accident and the production - restriction expectations caused by the shutdown of individual coal mines in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Shaanxi drove a sharp rise on Monday, but the spot market remains weakly stable. The steel industry's stable - growth work plan was released on the 28th, driving the resonance rise of black - series products. Speculatively, it is recommended to short - sell the coking coal 01 contract on rallies, and the arbitrage strategy of going long on iron ore and short on coking coal is recommended [6]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Reports Crude Oil - Overnight oil prices oscillated weakly due to concerns about global crude oil supply surplus and seasonal demand decline. OPEC+ relaxing production cuts and non - OPEC+ countries increasing production led to higher supply expectations. While refinery profits are good currently, the approaching end of the US summer driving season reduces gasoline demand expectations. Geopolitical factors offer some support but the overall market sentiment is bearish, with a high probability of short - term weak oscillation. It is recommended to wait and see on the single - side and look for opportunities to widen spreads on the option side after volatility increases [1]. Polyester Industry - PX: Supply is increasing as检修 devices restart, and downstream PTA has many unplanned shutdowns due to low processing fees. Although the "Golden September and Silver October" demand expectation exists, terminal load declined this week, and the demand support is limited. PX11 should focus on the support around 6800, and the strategy of widening the PX - SC spread should exit at high levels [43]. - PTA: In August - September, supply - demand situation has improved compared to expectations due to more unplanned shutdowns. However, terminal load declined this week, and demand support is limited. TA should focus on the support around 4750 and adopt a rolling reverse spread strategy for TA1 - 5 [43]. - Ethylene Glycol: Domestic supply is increasing as devices resume production, and port inventory is at a low level. With the approaching of the demand peak season, it is expected to oscillate strongly in the short - term. Sellers of the short - put option EG2601 - P - 4350 can hold [43]. - Short - fiber: Supply load remains high, demand is uncertain, and it mainly follows raw material fluctuations. The single - side strategy is the same as PTA, and the processing fee on the disk oscillates between 800 - 1100 with limited upward and downward drivers [43]. - Bottle chips: In August, it is the peak consumption season, and inventory is slowly decreasing. The processing fee has support at the bottom, but it is suppressed by the short - term strengthening of the cost side. The PR single - side strategy is the same as PTA, and the main - contract processing fee on the disk is expected to fluctuate between 350 - 500 yuan/ton [43]. Methanol - Port inventory is increasing significantly, the basis is weak, and imports in September remain high. The supply side has high domestic and rising overseas non - Iranian production. The demand side is weak due to the off - season, but there is an expectation of MTO device restart in September. Future attention should be paid to the inventory inflection point [72][74]. Urea - The rebound of the urea futures is driven by short - term supply contraction due to more device shutdowns for maintenance. Although daily production is still higher than last year, the expected production reduction supports the market. Downstream restocking also strengthens the supply - contraction expectation. However, the market is still in a state of inventory accumulation, and the rebound strength may be limited. Future attention should be paid to device restart progress, port collection, and industrial demand in North China before the parade [85]. Polyolefins - PP: Devices scheduled for restart next week will increase production. The price center is moving down, and the weighted profit is compressed. PP achieves inventory reduction with both supply and demand increasing. - PE: High - level maintenance will continue until September. It shows a stable - to - downward trend. Supply decreases while demand increases, with upstream inventory reduction and mid - stream inventory accumulation. Before mid - September, the overall supply pressure is not large, and the LP01 spread should be held [88]. Chlor - Alkali - Caustic Soda: The futures price is slightly falling, and the previous high - level resistance is obvious. Although the spot market was strong before, with good demand from Shandong's downstream alumina plants and inventory reduction, the supply is expected to increase as some plants resume production. The demand is growing, but the short - term futures pressure may be transmitted to the spot market, and short - selling can be considered [91]. - PVC: The futures price is weakening, and the spot price is also decreasing. Supply is expected to increase as new production capacity is put into use and maintenance decreases. Demand from downstream products is weak, and export pressure increases due to the Indonesian anti - dumping tax. Previous short positions can be held [91]. Pure Benzene - Styrene - Pure Benzene: There is an expectation of supply - demand improvement in the third quarter, but as previous maintenance devices resume and there will be a concentrated arrival of pure benzene at the terminal in the second half of the month, the fundamental advantage is weakening. It oscillates weakly, and BZ2603 should follow the fluctuations of oil prices and styrene [94]. - Styrene: Downstream 3S load declined slightly this week. The industry is in a loss, supply is high, and port inventory is high, so the short - term drive is weak. However, there are more maintenance plans in September - October, and export expectations increase, so the supply - demand situation may improve. EB10 short positions should be closed at low levels, and short - selling on rebounds is recommended [94].
