Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating information is provided in the reports. Core Views Steel Industry - Hot-rolled coil prices broke through the support level, and there is an expectation of inventory accumulation from August to September. It is recommended to try shorting the October hot-rolled coil contract at 3380 - 3400 [1]. - Currently, steel mill production remains at a high level. Seasonal decline in rebar demand in August has led to an increase in inventory, with production higher than apparent demand. After the previous price increase, funds are betting on a decline in demand in the second half of the year [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The global iron ore shipment volume has increased significantly on a week-on-week basis, and the arrival volume at 45 ports has decreased. Based on recent shipment data, the subsequent average arrival volume is expected to recover [3]. - Considering the production restrictions of Hebei steel mills in the second half of the month, the molten iron output in August will decline slightly from the high level, with an average expected to be maintained at around 2.36 million tons per day. Steel mill inventory is increasing, and the restocking demand has weakened. It is recommended to short on rallies [3]. Coking Coal and Coke Industry - For coke, due to tight supply and demand, downstream steel mills still have restocking demand. There is still an expectation of a seventh round of price increase for coke. The futures price of coke is at a premium to the spot price, providing a hedging opportunity. The cost support of coking coal has weakened, and the previous bullish expectations may have been fully overdrawn [5]. - For coking coal, the spot fundamentals have returned to stable operation. The previous futures price increase has already factored in the expectation of coal mine production restrictions. It is recommended to short on rallies for speculation and conduct a reverse spread trade for the 9 - 1 contract [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Urea - The current core driver of the futures market is the strong expectation of the substantial relaxation of export policies. China may resume urea exports to India, opening an incremental market window. The policy requires concentrated exports by the end of September, overlapping with the domestic autumn storage period and creating demand resonance. The short - term market is likely to fluctuate strongly, and future attention should be paid to the impact of enterprise maintenance on daily production, changes in rigid and reserve demand, and export port collection [1]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: Domestic PX supply is expected to increase, and the supply - demand situation in August is expected to weaken marginally. However, due to the traditional peak demand season and new PTA device commissioning expectations, the medium - term supply - demand pressure is not significant. It is expected that PX prices will be supported at low levels, but the upward space is limited. It is recommended to treat PX11 as a short - term range of 6600 - 6900 and expand the PX - SC spread at low levels [4]. - **PTA**: In August, due to low processing margins, PTA device maintenance plans increased, and short - term basis was supported. However, with the commissioning of new devices, the medium - term supply - demand is expected to be weak, and the upward space for the basis is limited. In the short term, there is still some support, and it is recommended to treat TA as a short - term range of 4600 - 4800 and conduct reverse arbitrage on TA1 - 5 at high levels [4]. - **MEG**: Domestic coal - based MEG supply has increased, and overseas supply is expected to change. In August, the supply - demand is near balance, and it is expected to fluctuate with commodities. It is recommended that EG01 fluctuate in the range of 4300 - 4500 in the short term [4]. - **Short - fiber**: Both supply and demand have increased slightly. With the approaching of the peak demand season, there is some support for prices, but the cost - side drive is limited. It is recommended that PF10 fluctuate in the range of 6300 - 6500 in the short term, and the processing margin on the futures market fluctuate in the range of 800 - 1100 [4]. - **Bottle - chip**: During the peak consumption season in August, with device production cuts, the processing margin has support at the bottom. The absolute price still follows the cost - side. It is recommended that PR is similar to PTA in terms of unilateral trading, and the main - contract processing margin on the futures market is expected to fluctuate in the range of 350 - 500 yuan/ton, and go long on the processing margin at low levels in the short term [4]. Methanol - The current methanol market has a relatively high port inventory year - on - year, mainly due to a large amount of imports in August, and imports in September are still expected to exceed 1.4 million tons. The demand side is differentiated, with the traditional sector remaining weak, while MTO profits have improved. Attention should be paid to the start - up progress of a port MTO device at the end of August to early September. The 09 contract has accumulated a large amount of inventory, while the 01 contract is supported by the seasonal peak season and Iranian gas - restriction expectations [7][8]. Chlor - alkali Industry - **Caustic Soda**: The overall sentiment in the industrial product futures market has weakened. The caustic soda market rebounded previously and then fell back. The spot market trading is okay, and the spot price is generally stable. The demand has been good recently, but there is an expectation of increased supply in the future, and the increase in the number of warehouse receipts in the main production areas also has a negative impact. It is recommended to try short - selling [14]. - **PVC**: The supply side has new production capacity being put into operation, the domestic trade is weak, and the inventory pressure is increasing. The demand is difficult to improve, and the downstream industry is still in the off - season. It is recommended to be bearish [14]. Polyolefin - Static analysis shows that the supply and demand of PP/PE both increase, inventory is being depleted, and the basis is weak, with high warehouse receipts suppressing the market. Dynamically, PP has more unplanned maintenance and new device delays, and PE has increased maintenance from mid - August to early September, with supply decreasing and demand recovering. In terms of valuation, oil - end profits are good, MTO profits are restored, and PDH profits decline slightly. It is recommended that the unilateral market fluctuate in the short term and continue to hold the LP01 contract [19]. Pure Benzene - Styrene - **Pure Benzene**: In the third quarter, the supply - demand situation of pure benzene is expected to improve, and port inventory is expected to decline in August, providing some support for prices. However, the overall supply is still sufficient, and its own driving force is limited. It is expected to be relatively strongly supported in the short term but will be under pressure in the medium term. BZ2603 should follow the fluctuations of oil prices and styrene [21][22]. - **Styrene**: The short - term supply of styrene remains high, but with profit compression, some devices may be shut down for maintenance. Downstream 3S loads have increased, and export expectations have increased due to overseas device maintenance. The supply - demand situation is expected to improve, and port inventory is expected to continue to decline. It is expected that styrene prices will be supported at low levels, but the rebound is limited. It is recommended that EB09 fluctuate in the range of 7100 - 7400 in the short term and be treated as a short - selling opportunity on rebounds [22]. Crude Oil - Overnight oil prices were weak, mainly due to the expected increase in Russian supply from the proposed Russia - Ukraine summit by Trump and market concerns about oversupply. However, the gasoline crack spread has rebounded, and refinery processing volume is at a seasonal high, providing some support for oil prices. It is expected that oil prices will continue to fluctuate weakly in the short term. It is recommended to be bearish, expand the spread between October - November/December contracts at low levels, and wait for opportunities to expand the spread in the options market after volatility increases [24][26]. 3.

The price is expected to fluctuate at a high level, with the lower limit of the price fluctuation range rising to 47,000 yuan/ton, and the upper limit expected to be between 58,000 - 60,000 yuan/ton. Consider going long at low prices and buying put options to try shorting at high prices when volatility is low [4]. Summary by Directory - **Spot Price and Basis**: The average price of N - type re - feed polysilicon remained unchanged at 47,000 yuan/ton.

The weekly production has increased significantly, and the inventory has returned to the accumulation pattern. The overall fundamentals are in obvious surplus. It is recommended to try shorting at high prices [5]. - **Glass**: The near - month 09 contract has been weak, and the spot trading has weakened significantly. The market negative feedback continues. The far - month 01 contract shows a volatile pattern. The glass demand side has certain pressure, and in the long run, the industry needs capacity clearance to solve the over - supply problem.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The second - round China - US trade talks extended the tariff exemption clause, and the Politburo meeting's policy tone was consistent with the previous one. The TMT sector rose strongly, and the stock index increased with heavy trading volume. However, the improvement in corporate earnings needs to be verified by the upcoming mid - year report data [2]. - Multiple negative factors such as the central bank's mention of "preventing idle funds from circulating" in the second - quarter monetary policy report, the strong performance of the stock market, and the tightening of funds during the tax payment period led to a significant decline in bond futures. The bond market sentiment remains weak [2]. - The meeting of US, Ukrainian, and European leaders brought hope for easing the Russia - Ukraine conflict, which increased risk appetite and caused precious metals to rise and then fall. Gold and silver prices are in a range - bound state [2]. - The container shipping index (European line) is in a weak and volatile state, and the short position of the October contract should be continued to hold [2]. - Steel prices are supported due to limited inventory accumulation in steel mills and upcoming production restrictions. Iron ore follows the price fluctuations of steel, while some coal prices are showing signs of weakness [2]. - The prices of non - ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc are in a narrow - range or weak - range fluctuation, and different trading strategies are recommended for each metal [2]. - The energy and chemical sectors show different trends.
