Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report's Core View Copper - In the short - term, copper prices are expected to range - bound between 78,000 - 79,500 yuan/ton. Macro factors like US economic data and tariff policies, along with fundamental supply - demand and inventory conditions, will influence the price. The market is in a state of short - term supply - demand weakness during the off - season, but "tight mining end + demand resilience" provides price support [1]. Aluminum - Alumina prices are expected to oscillate widely between 3,000 - 3,400 yuan/ton this week. The market will experience a game between short - term supply disturbances and over - capacity. Aluminum prices are expected to face pressure at high levels in the short - term, with the main contract price ranging from 20,000 - 21,000 yuan/ton. Key factors include supply and demand fundamentals, macroeconomic factors, and inventory changes [3]. Aluminum Alloy - Aluminum alloy prices are expected to oscillate widely, with the main contract reference range of 19,400 - 20,400 yuan/ton. The market is affected by factors such as tight scrap aluminum supply and weak terminal demand [5]. Zinc - Zinc prices may continue to oscillate in the short - term. Upward rebound requires continuous inventory reduction and improved interest - rate cut expectations without overseas economic recession. Downward breakthrough needs stronger TC and refined zinc inventory accumulation. The current supply - demand situation provides limited support for continuous price increase, but low inventory provides price support [9]. Tin - If the supply of Burmese tin ore recovers smoothly, a short - selling strategy is recommended. If the supply recovery is less than expected, tin prices are expected to remain high and oscillate. Supply is currently tight, and demand is expected to be weak [12]. Nickel - Nickel prices are expected to adjust within a range in the short - term, with the main contract reference range of 120,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton. The mid - term supply is expected to be loose, which restricts the upward price space [14]. Stainless Steel - Stainless steel prices are expected to oscillate strongly in the short - term, with the main contract operating range of 13,000 - 13,500 yuan/ton. Cost support is strengthening, but the weak spot demand restricts the fundamentals [16]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices are expected to oscillate widely in a relatively strong range, around 85,000 yuan/ton. The market is affected by short - term news, and the fundamentals are improving. It is recommended to observe in the short - term and consider light - position long - entry at low prices [19].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - The inland maintenance is expected to peak in early August. Currently, the production volume remains at a high level year - on - year. This week, the port has significantly accumulated inventory, the basis is stable, there are many imports in August, downstream demand is weak due to low profits, MTO profits are low, and the situation of low - profit and high - load operation is unsustainable. Pay attention to the subsequent start - up situation. For the 09 contract, there is significant inventory accumulation. The 01 contract has expectations of a seasonal peak season and Iranian plant shutdowns. After the near - end weakens significantly, consider building positions at low prices [1][2]. Polyolefins - On the supply side, PP maintenance is starting to decline, PE maintenance will increase in mid - to - late August, imports remain at a low level, and new production capacity is expected to be put into operation from August to September. On the demand side, the downstream start - up of PP/PE is at a low level, raw material inventories have decreased to a low level, and there is potential for restocking during the subsequent peak season. The overall valuation is moderately high, and the inventory of the upper and middle reaches is being depleted. The fundamental contradictions are not significant. The strategy is to take profit on the previous unilateral short positions at 7200 - 7300 near 7000 and continue to hold the LP01 position [7]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: Some PX maintenance units have restart expectations, and PX supply will increase marginally in August. Although there are new PTA units being put into operation, there are many unplanned PTA unit shutdowns in August due to low processing fees. The PX supply - demand situation is expected to weaken marginally in August, and with weak oil price support, PX will fluctuate weakly. However, the medium - term supply - demand pressure is not significant, and the downward space for PX is limited. The strategy is to pay attention to the support near 6500 - 6600 for PX11 and mainly expand the PX - SC spread at low levels [10]. - **PTA**: Due to continuously low processing spreads, the planned shutdowns of PTA units have increased in August, and the PTA supply - demand situation has improved compared to expectations. However, with the commissioning of the new Hailun Petrochemical PTA unit, the medium - term PTA supply - demand situation is expected to be weak, and the PTA basis will operate weakly. Overall, considering the weak supply - demand expectations and the trend of oil prices, PTA will fluctuate weakly. However, due to low PTA processing fees and limited PX supply - demand pressure, and with the expectation of the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season, the downward space for PTA is limited. The strategy is to pay attention to the support near 4600 for TA01, conduct reverse arbitrage for TA1 - 5 at high prices, and mainly expand the PTA surface processing fee at low levels (around 250) [10]. - **MEG**: In terms of domestic supply, multiple coal - to - MEG units are restarting or increasing production in August, but the 1.9 - million - ton - per - year MEG unit of Shenghong Refining & Chemical is currently shut down due to an accident, and the restart time is undetermined, so the domestic supply recovery is postponed. In terms of overseas supply, the Ma Petroleum and Saudi Sharg3 units have shut down temporarily, and the restart time is unclear. The MEG import volume may be revised downwards. On the demand side, terminal orders are weak during the traditional off - season, but as the high - temperature period and the off - season are coming to an end, the polyester load will gradually increase. Overall, the short - term MEG supply - demand situation is expected to improve, and it is expected to fluctuate within a range. The strategy is that EGO9 is expected to fluctuate in the range of 4350 - 4500 [10]. - **Short - fiber**: The short - fiber supply and demand are both increasing. On the supply side, the previously shut - down short - fiber plants are gradually restarting. In terms of demand, with the approaching of the traditional "Golden September and Silver October" peak season, there are improvements in local autumn and winter orders at the terminal, and the downstream yarn - coating demand has increased slightly compared to last year, providing some support for prices. However, the short - term supply - demand driving force is limited, and the weak oil price trend may cause the absolute price of short - fiber to fluctuate weakly. The strategy is the same as that for TA in a single - side trade; the surface processing fee will fluctuate in the range of 800 - 1100, and the upward and downward driving forces are both limited [10]. - **Bottle - grade polyester**: August is still the peak season for soft - drink consumption, and large bottle - grade polyester plants such as Sanfangxiang, China Resources, Yisheng, and Wankai are maintaining production cuts. As the production - cut time extends, even though the demand is average, the production - cut effect is gradually emerging, as reflected in the slow depletion of current bottle - grade polyester inventory, which provides support for the processing fee. The absolute price still follows the cost side. The precondition for the processing fee to expand is an increase in demand. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the production cuts of bottle - grade polyester units will further increase and the downstream follow - up situation. The strategy is that the PR single - side trade is the same as that for PTA, the main - contract surface processing fee of PR is expected to fluctuate in the range of 350 - 500 yuan/ton, and consider going long on the processing fee at low prices in the short term [10]. Crude Oil - Oil prices are rebounding. The current main trading logic is the game between geopolitical risk uncertainties and weak demand expectations. Specifically, the meeting between US and Russian leaders may cause oil price fluctuations. If the summit fails, the threat of secondary sanctions from the US on Russian oil buyers such as China and India may lead to supply disruptions in Russia, triggering a short - term bullish risk premium and driving oil prices to rebound slightly. However, the loose supply - demand fundamentals suppress the upward space. The IEA expects the supply surplus pressure to become increasingly prominent from 2025 - 2026, and the production increase of OPEC+ and the growth of non - member supply will further increase the loose pressure. In the short term, the unexpected increase in EIA US crude oil inventories has also strengthened the bearish sentiment. Macroscopically, the expectation of a Fed rate cut in September provides some support for demand, but the impact is limited and lagging. Overall, the market remains in a stalemate before the summit results. As the weekend approaches, oil prices face two - way risks and the volatility will intensify. It is recommended to remain on the sidelines for single - side trades and consider widening the spreads between October - November/December. The support levels are [60, 61] for WTI, [63, 64] for Brent, and [470, 480] for SC. On the options side, opportunities for volatility contraction can be captured [14]. Chlor - alkali Industry - **Caustic soda**: The delivery volume of caustic soda to the main downstream has increased, and the non - aluminum downstream rigid demand has followed up. The overall demand performance has been good recently. However, some units in East China will resume operation next week. There will be fewer maintenance enterprises in the future than before, and the supply is expected to increase. In South China, it is the off - season for non - aluminum industries, but the supply is increasing. The exports of East China enterprises are mostly previous orders, and the non - aluminum market is also average. It is expected that the number of warehouse receipts in the main production areas will increase in August, which will also have a certain negative impact. It is expected that the rebound height will be limited. In the future, attention can be paid to the purchasing situation of alumina enterprises [76]. - **PVC**: On the supply side, new production capacity is being gradually put into operation, the domestic trade is weak, the spot trading is weak, and the number of warehouse receipts on the futures market is increasing. The inventory pressure continues to increase, and the demand is difficult to improve. In August, new domestic and foreign production capacity will continue to be released. Fujian Wanhua and Tianjin Bohua are expected to release production capacity in August, Gansu Yaowang plans to start production in August, and Qingdao Haiwan plans to start production in September. The release of new production capacity will put new pressure on the PVC supply side. On the downstream side, there is no expectation of improvement, the start - up rate of downstream product enterprises remains low, and the purchasing enthusiasm is weak. The industry is still in the off - season. Overall, the supply - demand pressure remains significant. The movement of coking coal will affect the PVC futures price from the cost side. It is recommended to remain on the sidelines for short - term trades [76]. Pure Benzene - Styrene - **Pure benzene**: In the third quarter, there are expectations of improvement in the pure benzene supply - demand situation compared to the previous quarter. With fewer port arrivals in August, port inventories are expected to decline, which will provide some short - term support for pure benzene prices. However, the overall supply of goods remains sufficient, and its own driving force is limited. It is expected that the short - term support for pure benzene will be relatively strong. However, with weak oil price support and weak medium - term supply - demand expectations, pure benzene will face some pressure. The strategy is that the BZ2603 single - side trade will follow the trends of oil prices and styrene [79]. - **Styrene**: In the short term, the overall styrene supply remains at a high level. However, as styrene profits are being compressed, some units have maintenance expectations; the overall load of the downstream 3S has increased. The short - term styrene supply - demand situation has improved marginally, and the port inventory continues to decline slightly, but the absolute level of port inventory is still high, and the fundamental driving force for styrene is limited. Coupled with the recent weak oil price trend, styrene may be dragged down in the short term. The strategy is to pay attention to the support near 7200 for EB09 and consider shorting on rebounds [79]. Urea - Recently, the futures market has been fluctuating weakly. The main trading logic is that the loose domestic supply - demand situation has dragged down the center of the futures price. Specifically, on the supply side, the production volume has increased, and the capacity utilization rate has improved. Although some enterprises are under maintenance, the overall supply is sufficient. On the demand side, agricultural demand is weak, industrial demand has limited growth, and in some regions, downstream production is restricted due to the military parade, resulting in temporary pressure on demand. The continuous inventory accumulation has further increased the market pressure. Although there is a certain amount of exports, the increase is limited, and the market's expectation for export fulfillment has cooled down, making it difficult to reverse the loose domestic supply - demand situation, which has led to the downward pressure on the futures price. In the future, pay attention to the resumption progress of maintenance enterprises and new maintenance plans, as well as the progress of the export side, the final confirmed volume of the Indian IPL tender, and China's supply proportion. In the short term, the futures market is likely to continue to operate weakly [86]. 3.

Group 1: Natural Rubber Core View - Supply side: Rainfall in the producing areas may affect the release of new rubber, and the raw material procurement price is strong. Future focus is on the raw material situation during the peak production period. Demand side: Current channel trading is average, some agents replenish goods as needed and mainly control inventory. Terminal demand has no obvious improvement, and channels are cautious about restocking. Market sentiment has cooled recently. If the raw material volume increases smoothly during the peak production period, consider short - selling at high prices [2]. Summary of Related Catalogs - **Spot Price and Basis**: The price of Yunnan state - owned standard rubber (SCRWF) in Shanghai remained unchanged at 14,800 yuan/ton. The basis of whole milk switched to the 2509 contract increased by 165 yuan/ton to - 832 yuan/ton, with a growth rate of 16.50%. The price of Thai standard mixed rubber decreased by 200 yuan/ton to 14,400 yuan/ton, a decline of 1.37% [2]. - **Inter - month Spread**: The 9 - 1 spread increased by 10 yuan/ton to - 1000 yuan/ton, with a growth rate of 0.99%; the 1 - 5 spread decreased by 5 yuan/ton to - 65 yuan/ton, a decline of 8.33%; the 5 - 9 spread decreased by 2 yuan/ton to 1065 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.47% [2]. - **Fundamental Data**: In June, Thailand's production was 392,600 tons, a 44.23% increase; Indonesia's production was 176,200 tons, a 12.03% decrease; India's production was 62,400 tons, a 30.82% increase; China's production was 103,200 tons, a 6.8 - ton increase.

Group 2: Industrial Silicon Core View - Industrial silicon spot prices are stable, and the main contract has rebounded. Although the market is not optimistic about the capacity clearance and self - discipline of industrial silicon, in the context of the anti - involution policy, the overall operating price center of commodities has moved up, and industrial silicon is no exception. The cost of raw materials such as coal may increase, which will push up the cost of industrial silicon and raise the future price center. In August, the supply and demand of the industrial silicon market both increase, and it is expected to reach a tight balance. The main price fluctuation range may be between 8,000 - 9,500 yuan/ton. If the price drops to 8,000 - 8,500 yuan/ton, consider buying on dips. The inventory has increased, but the warehouse receipts are still decreasing. The main contract has shifted to SI2511, and the position of the 09 contract has decreased to about 50,000 lots. Technically, the hourly line has weakened, and it may continue to fluctuate weakly in the short term [4]. Summary of Related Catalogs - **Spot Price and Basis of the Main Contract**: The price of East China oxygen - passing SI5530 industrial silicon remained unchanged at 9,400 yuan/ton; the basis (based on oxygen - passing SI5530) decreased by 75 yuan/ton to 725 yuan/ton, a decline of 9.38%. The price of East China SI4210 industrial silicon remained unchanged at 9,750 yuan/ton; the basis (based on SI4210) decreased by 75 yuan/ton to 275 yuan/ton, a decline of 21.43% [4]. - **Inter - month Spread**: The 2509 - 2510 spread decreased by 45 yuan/ton to - 40 yuan/ton, a decline of 900.00%; the 2510 - 2511 spread increased by 30 yuan/ton to - 5 yuan/ton, a growth of 85.71% [4]. - **Fundamental Data (Monthly)**: National industrial silicon production was 338,300 tons, a 3.23% increase; Xinjiang's production was 150,300 tons, a 15.21% decrease; Yunnan's production was 41,200 tons, a 153.86% increase; Sichuan's production was 48,500 tons, a 31.05% increase. The national operating rate was 52.61%, a 2.47% increase; Xinjiang's operating rate was 52.59%, an 18.21% decrease; Yunnan's operating rate was 32.89%, a 133.76% increase; Sichuan's operating rate was 36.96%, a 56.81% increase. Organic silicon DMC production was 199,800 tons, a 4.54% decrease; polysilicon production was 101,000 tons, a 5.10% increase; recycled aluminum alloy production was 625,000 tons, a 1.63% increase; industrial silicon export volume was 68,300 tons, a 22.77% increase [4]. - **Inventory Changes**: Xinjiang factory - warehouse inventory increased by 0.01 tons to 11,700 tons, a growth of 0.09%; Yunnan factory - warehouse inventory increased by 0.08 tons to 3,140 tons, a growth of 2.61%; Sichuan factory - warehouse inventory decreased by 0.02 tons to 2,260 tons, a decline of 0.88%. Social inventory decreased by 0.20 tons to 54,500 tons, a decline of 0.37%; warehouse receipt inventory remained unchanged at 25,350 tons; non - warehouse receipt inventory decreased by 0.20 tons to 29,150 tons, a decline of 0.67% [4]. Group 3: Polysilicon Core View - In August, the supply and demand of polysilicon both increase, but the supply growth rate is larger, and there is still pressure to accumulate inventory. Due to the previous sharp price increase above the full - cost level, it is expected that the number of warehouse receipts will further increase. If there is new progress in capacity integration or clearance, polysilicon prices are expected to rise again. Otherwise, it may fluctuate and decline under the pressure of inventory and warehouse receipt increase. Currently, there are news of production restrictions, and future attention should be paid to the enterprise's operating conditions and production changes. The main price fluctuation range may be between 45,000 - 58,000 yuan/ton. After the price returns to the lower edge of the cost range, consider buying on dips. When the price is high, consider buying put options to short. The position of the 09 contract has decreased to about 18,000 lots, and investors are advised to pay attention to position control and risk management in advance [5]. Summary of Related Catalogs - **Spot Price and Basis**: The average price of N - type re - feed material remained unchanged at 47,000 yuan/ton; the average price of N - type granular silicon remained unchanged at 44,500 yuan/ton.

The average price of N - type silicon wafers (210mm) decreased by 0.01 yuan/piece to 1.54 yuan/piece, a decline of 0.65% [5]. - **Futures Price and Inter - month Spread**: The main contract price decreased by 860 yuan/ton to 50,430 yuan/ton, a decline of 1.68%. The spread between the current month and the first - continuous contract decreased by 975 yuan/ton to - 740 yuan/ton, a decline of 414.89% [5]. - **Fundamental Data**: Weekly polysilicon production decreased by 0.01 tons to 29,300 tons; silicon wafer production increased by 0.08 GW to 12.1 GW. Monthly polysilicon production was 101,000 tons, a 5.10% increase; polysilicon import volume was 80 tons, a 16.90% decrease; polysilicon export volume was 210 tons, a 66.17% increase; polysilicon net export volume was 130 tons, a 323.61% increase.

The number of polysilicon warehouse receipts increased by 330 to 5,480 [5]. Group 4: Logs Core View - From the fundamental perspective, the demand side currently remains strong at the level of 64,000 cubic meters. The inventory has significantly decreased due to fewer unloading ports and strong shipment volume. From the perspective of shipments from New Zealand, it is expected that the overall shipments in August will be the same as in July. Currently, short - term demand is strong, but the medium - and long - term demand improvement needs to be verified. This week, the futures market was weakened by new warehouse receipts. Technically, the market is in a downward correction trend. Pay attention to the support level around 800 yuan/cubic meter. At low prices, there may be long - position buyers. It is recommended to buy on dips after the market stabilizes [6]. Summary of Related Catalogs - **Futures and Spot Prices**: The price of Log 2509 decreased by 3.5 yuan/cubic meter to 809.5 yuan/cubic meter, a decline of 0.43%; the price of Log 2511 decreased by 5.5 yuan/cubic meter to 828.0 yuan/cubic meter, a decline of 0.66%; the price of Log 2601 decreased by 7.5 yuan/cubic meter to 838.0 yuan/cubic meter, a decline of 0.89%. The spread between 9 - 11 increased by 2.0 yuan/cubic meter to - 18.5 yuan/cubic meter; the spread between 9 - 1 increased by 4.0 yuan/cubic meter to - 28.5 yuan/cubic meter. The basis of the 09 contract increased by 3.5 yuan/cubic meter to - 59.5 yuan/cubic meter; the basis of the 11 contract increased by 5.5 yuan/cubic meter to - 78.0 yuan/cubic meter; the basis of the 01 contract increased by 7.5 yuan/cubic meter to - 88.0 yuan/cubic meter.

The number of departing ships decreased by 6 to 47, a decline of 11.32% [6]. - **Inventory and Demand**: As of August 8, the national coniferous log inventory was 3.08 million cubic meters, a decrease of 90,000 cubic meters, a decline of 2.84%. The average daily shipment volume of logs was 64,200 cubic meters, unchanged from the previous period [6]. Group 5: Glass and Soda Ash Core View - **Soda Ash**: Recent information from Qinghai has affected the market sentiment, but it has no impact on the supply in Qinghai for now. The weekly production has significantly rebounded, and the inventory has returned to the accumulation stage, with obvious overall over - supply in the fundamentals. Recently, the spot sales have weakened. In the medium term, after the photovoltaic installation rush in the second quarter, the growth of photovoltaic glass production capacity has slowed down, the float glass production capacity has remained flat, and there is still pressure on supply and demand in the future, with a further cold - repair expectation. Therefore, there is no growth expectation for the overall demand of soda ash. If there is no actual capacity exit or load reduction in the future, the inventory will be further pressured. In August, which is the traditional summer maintenance season for the soda ash industry, track the implementation of policies and the load adjustment of soda ash plants. The previous market increase was due to news, and consider short - selling at high prices [7]. - **Glass**: The market has been weak recently, and the negative feedback in the market continues. After the previous sharp price increase, the inventory has shifted from manufacturers to middle - stream traders and futures - cash traders, and the futures - cash inventory in Shahe has reached a new high. In the future, there may be a rush to sell during the shipment process. In Hubei, the inventory has also shifted, and the middle - stream faces shipment pressure, which will squeeze the manufacturers' shipments. Therefore, it is difficult to further increase the overall spot price. Fundamentally, the deep - processing orders are weak, the operating rate of low - emissivity glass is continuously low, and there is certain pressure on the rigid demand side of glass. In the long run, the real - estate cycle is at the bottom, and the completion volume is shrinking. Eventually, the industry needs to clear the excess capacity to solve the dilemma. In August, track the implementation of local policies and the restocking performance of downstream enterprises near the peak seasons of "Golden September and Silver October". Currently, the market sentiment has declined, and short positions can be held, while being vigilant about the market fluctuations caused by macro - factors [7]. Summary of Related Catalogs - **Glass - Related Prices and Spreads**: The price of glass in North China remained unchanged at 1,150 yuan/ton; the price of glass in East China decreased by 10 yuan/ton to 1,220 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.81%.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. Core Views Oils and Fats - Palm oil production is seasonally increasing, and although export data can offset some of the production increase, inventory is expected to rise by the end of August. Dalian palm oil futures are under pressure to weaken and may seek support in the 9000 - 9200 yuan range. CBOT soybeans are near a technical resistance level and may correct, affecting CBOT soybean oil. Domestic soybean oil inventory may decrease after peaking, and basis quotes will have limited short - term fluctuations [1]. Meal - The USDA monthly supply - demand report and anti - dumping ruling on Canadian rapeseed have provided short - term support, but after the short - term positive information fades, the market may face profit - taking. Domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories are rising, and spot prices are under pressure. The bottom range of meal has shifted up, and short - term profit - taking is possible. Overall, the trend remains upward [2]. Livestock (Pigs) - Pig prices are supported by farmers' reluctance to sell at low prices and some secondary fattening. However, the market is in a situation of weak supply and demand. Group farms'出栏 is expected to recover in August, and large pigs from small farmers also need to be sold. The far - month 01 contract has stronger support, but the impact of hedging funds should be noted [4][5]. Corn - The corn market has rebounded due to the impact of the anti - dumping on Canadian rapeseed and the USDA August report, but its own fundamentals have not changed much. Supply will gradually ease, and the market sentiment is weak. Consumption is not significantly boosted, and the wheat price squeezes corn demand. The short - term rebound is limited, and there may be opportunities to short. In the long - term, the cost of new - season corn may decrease, and supply pressure may increase [8]. Sugar - ISMA's forecast of increased sugar production in India in the 2025/26 season has pressured the raw sugar price. Brazil's high - proportion sugar production has not led to a year - on - year increase in total sugar output. India and Thailand have full expectations of a good harvest. The raw sugar price is unlikely to break the previous low in the short - term, but the overall trend is bearish. Zheng sugar has rebounded but is under pressure from increased imports [12]. Cotton - The spot basis of cotton is temporarily firm, and the downstream industry has shown marginal improvement. However, downstream confidence is still insufficient, and the expected increase in new - season cotton production will bring long - term supply pressure. Short - term cotton prices may fluctuate within a range, and long - term prices may face pressure after the new cotton is on the market [13]. Eggs - Egg prices have reached a phased low, which may stimulate downstream procurement. However, high inventory levels and the impact of cold - stored eggs will suppress price increases. The overall trend of egg futures is bearish [16][17].

However, the supply will gradually ease due to continuous import corn auctions and the upcoming new grain harvest in some areas.
