Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views Copper - In the short - term, copper prices are expected to fluctuate within a range, with the main contract referring to 78,000 - 80,000. The market is waiting for US economic data in August. The "tight mine supply + resilient demand" provides price support, but the weak economic outlook in the US puts pressure on the upside of copper prices [1]. Zinc - The zinc market has a supply - side surplus and a weak demand - side, which is not sufficient to boost the continuous rise of zinc prices. However, low inventory levels provide some support. In the short - term, zinc prices are expected to fluctuate, with the main contract referring to 22,000 - 23,000 [4]. Nickel - The nickel market shows little change in fundamentals. In the short - term, the nickel price is expected to adjust within a range, with the main contract referring to 120,000 - 126,000. Attention should be paid to changes in macro - expectations [7]. Tin - If the supply of tin ore recovers smoothly, the strategy should be to short on rallies; if the supply recovery is less than expected, tin prices are expected to continue to oscillate at a high level. The current tin ore supply remains tight [8]. Stainless Steel - In the short - term, the stainless - steel market is expected to oscillate strongly, with the main contract operating in the range of 13,000 - 13,500.

Group 1: Steel Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core View The short - term steel inventory pressure is not significant, but the off - season demand has a low acceptance of high prices. The main contract is approaching the position transfer, and the price of the October contract is expected to fluctuate at high levels. It is recommended to operate on the long side during the callback, and pay attention to the support levels of 3400 and 3200 yuan for the October contract of hot - rolled coil and rebar respectively. Be cautious about chasing long positions. [1] Summary by Directory - **Price and Spread**: The prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil spot and futures contracts generally declined.

[1] - **Demand**: The building materials trading volume decreased by 16.2%, the apparent demand for five major steel products decreased by 0.7%, the apparent demand for rebar increased by 3.6%, and the apparent demand for hot - rolled coil decreased by 4.3%. [1] Group 2: Iron Ore Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core View The iron ore 09 contract showed a volatile trend. In the future, the iron water output in August will remain high, and the improvement of steel mill profits will support the raw materials. However, due to the weakening of steel apparent demand in the off - season, the previous trading logic has been overdrawn. It is recommended to take profit and wait and see for both single - side and arbitrage operations. [4] Summary by Directory - **Price and Spread**: The prices of some iron ore varieties' warehouse receipt costs and spot prices changed slightly. The 5 - 9 spread decreased by 12.5%, the 9 - 1 spread increased by 61.5%, and the 1 - 5 spread decreased by 2.3%.

[4] Group 3: Coke and Coking Coal Industry Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. Core View The coke futures showed a trend of reaching the peak and then falling back, with sharp price fluctuations recently. The sixth round of price increase of coke has been officially implemented, and there may be further price increases in the future. However, due to factors such as over - drawn bullish expectations and exchange intervention, the current long - side logic has changed. It is recommended to take profit and wait and see for both speculative and arbitrage operations. For coking coal, similar to iron ore, it is also recommended to take profit and wait and see for single - side and arbitrage operations. [6] Summary by Directory - **Price and Spread**: The prices of some coke and coking coal varieties and their spreads changed. The coking profit decreased, while the sample coal mine profit increased. The overseas coal prices of some varieties also changed.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Urea futures showed a weak and volatile trend, mainly due to the game between the expected support from the export end and the domestic demand in the third quarter. The implementation of India's tender and the release of quotas will relieve the domestic high - supply pressure to some extent, but the domestic consumption restricts the upward elasticity. The short - term trend is likely to remain weak and volatile, and the actual export volume needs to be monitored [29]. - For methanol, the inland maintenance is expected to peak in early August, with high output year - on - year. The port has significantly accumulated inventory this week, and the import in August is still high. The downstream demand is weak due to low profits. The 09 contract has a strong expectation of inventory accumulation, while the 01 contract has seasonal peak season and Iran's shutdown expectations. It is recommended to build positions at low levels after the near - end weakens [32]. - In the polyester industry, the supply of PX is expected to increase marginally in August, but the demand from PTA and the terminal is not good, so the PX rebound is lack of drive. PTA's supply - demand situation has improved in the short - term but is expected to be weak in the medium - term. Ethylene glycol's short - term supply - demand is expected to improve. Short - fiber's short - term supply - demand drive is limited. Bottle - chip's processing fee has support, and its absolute price follows the cost [37]. - For PVC and caustic soda, the demand for caustic soda is currently good, but the supply is expected to increase in the future, and the rebound height is limited. PVC's supply pressure is increasing due to new capacity release, and the downstream demand has no sign of improvement [46]. - In the polyolefin industry, the supply of PP and PE has different trends, and the demand is expected to improve with the approaching of the peak season. The fundamental contradiction is not significant. It is recommended to stop profit for short positions and hold the LP01 contract [52]. - For crude oil, the overnight oil price declined due to the supply - side factors. The market sentiment is pessimistic, and the oil price is under pressure. The oil price is likely to remain weak, and the impact of the US - Russia negotiation on Friday needs to be monitored [59]. - In the pure benzene - styrene industry, pure benzene has short - term support but limited self - drive, and its rebound is under pressure. Styrene has a short - term situation of weak supply and demand, and it is expected to maintain a volatile trend [63].

Sugar Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The raw sugar price declined slightly due to strong production signs. It's difficult for the raw sugar price to fall below the previous low in the short term, but it should be treated with a bearish view considering the increasing production pattern. Zheng sugar rebounded due to the strong commodity market, but the increasing imports will put pressure on the price. The terminal market demand is average, and the procurement is mainly on a need - to - use basis, with weak inventory - stocking willingness. It is expected that Zheng sugar will remain bearish after the rebound [2][3] Summary by Directory - **Futures Market**: The price of "White Sugar 2601" was 5657 yuan/ton, up 0.87%; "White Sugar 2509" was 5722 yuan/ton, up 0.28%; ICE raw sugar主力 was 16.83 cents/pound, down 0.71%. The 1 - 9 spread of white sugar was - 65 yuan/ton, up 33.67%. The main contract's open interest increased by 1.22%, and the number of warehouse receipts decreased by 1.81% [2] - **Spot Market**: The price in Nanning was 5970 yuan/ton, up 0.17%; in Kunming, it was 5855 yuan/ton, up 0.69%.

The national industrial inventory decreased by 9.56%, and in Guangxi, it decreased by 12.23%. The sugar imports increased by 160%. ISMA predicted that India's sugar production in the 2025/26 crushing season would be 34.9 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 18% [2] Corn Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View Driven by the anti - dumping of Canadian rapeseed and the bullish USDA August report, the corn futures rebounded. However, the corn's fundamental situation changed little, with continuous auctions of imported corn and the upcoming new grain harvest in some areas, which will gradually ease the supply. The market sentiment is weak, the arrival volume of deep - processing enterprises has increased slightly, and the spot price is weak but the decline has slowed down. The demand of deep - processing and feed enterprises is mainly for rigid needs, and the consumption has not been significantly boosted. Wheat has a price advantage, squeezing the demand for corn. In the short term, the futures may rebound, but the overall sentiment is still weak, and the upside is limited. In the long term, the cost of new - season corn may decrease, and the supply pressure may remain, with the futures valuation likely to decline [4] Summary by Directory - **Corn Futures**: The price of "Corn 2509" at Jinzhou Port's flat - hatch price was 2279 yuan/ton, up 0.84%. The basis decreased by 47.50%, and the 9 - 1 spread increased by 11.94%. The south - north trade profit decreased by 26.32%, and the import profit increased by 0.61%. The number of early - morning remaining vehicles at Shandong's deep - processing enterprises increased by 25.81%, the trading volume decreased by 1.92%, and the number of warehouse receipts decreased by 2.87% [4] - **Corn Starch**: The price of "Corn Starch 2509" was 2651 yuan/ton, up 0.23%. The basis decreased by 9.23%, the 9 - 1 spread decreased by 21.69%, and the starch - corn spread decreased by 3.38%. The profit of Shandong's starch enterprises increased by 10.75%, the open interest decreased by 4.69%, and the number of warehouse receipts remained unchanged [4] Cotton Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The domestic cotton industry has short - term rigid demand support but also has relatively pessimistic long - term expectations. The inventory of downstream finished products is not high, and the pressure is not large, but the peak season is not as good as previous years. The market lacks confidence in the future improvement. The short - term domestic cotton price may move in a range, and attention should be paid to macro - level trends [7] Summary by Directory - **Futures Market**: The price of "Cotton 2505" was 14090 yuan/ton, up 1.29%; "Cotton 2509" was 13830 yuan/ton, up 0.69%. ICE US cotton主力 was 67.70 cents/pound, down 1.08%. The 5 - 9 spread of cotton decreased by 48.57%. The main contract's open interest increased by 10.41%, the number of warehouse receipts decreased by 1.00%, and the number of effective forecasts decreased by 0.35% [7] - **Spot Market**: The Xinjiang arrival price of 3128B was 15057 yuan/ton, up 0.03%; the CC Index: 3128B was 15188 yuan/ton, up 0.07%. The 3128B - 01 contract decreased by 15.32%, and the 3128B - 05 contract decreased by 6.83%. The difference between CC Index: 3128B and FC Index: M: 1% decreased by 16.00% [7] - **Industry Situation**: The commercial inventory decreased by 13.9%, the industrial inventory increased by 1.8%, the import volume decreased by 25%, the bonded area inventory decreased by 8%, the textile industry's inventory decreased by 57.9% year - on - year, the yarn inventory days decreased by 2.4%, the grey fabric inventory days decreased by 3.0%, the cotton outbound shipping volume increased by 22.6%, the spinning enterprise's C32s immediate processing profit increased by 1.8%, the retail sales of clothing, footwear, hats, and textiles increased by 4.1%, and the year - on - year growth rate decreased by 52.5% [7] Meal Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The inventory of meals continues to rise, and the short - term supply maintains a high arrival volume and high operating rate, suppressing the spot price. The Ministry of Commerce announced the preliminary anti - dumping ruling on Canadian rapeseed, and USDA's August report lowered the US soybean planting area and ending stocks, causing a sharp rise in US soybeans. Brazil's premium has been strong recently, supporting the domestic import cost. However, the improved expectation of US soybean imports may suppress the price increase. The supply of domestic rapeseed meal is tightening, and the support from US soybeans is strengthening. The previous long positions in the 01 contract should be held [9] Summary by Directory - **Soybean Meal**: The price in Jiangsu was 3090 yuan/ton, up 5.10%; the futures price of M2601 was 3163 yuan/ton, up 2.33%. The basis increased by 51.66%.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Reports Copper - Copper pricing has returned to macro trading. With the US economy weakening, copper prices face pressure on the upside under weak economic expectations. However, based on the Sam Rule, the market has not entered a recession narrative, and the downside space is also difficult to open. In the medium - to - long - term, supply - demand contradictions provide bottom support. In the short term, copper prices are expected to fluctuate within a range, with the main contract referring to 78,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the US economic fundamentals data in August [1]. Aluminum - For alumina, short - term supply disturbances and long - term overcapacity will continue to compete. It is expected that the main contract price will fluctuate widely between 3,000 - 3,400 yuan/ton this week, and it is recommended to short at high prices in the medium term. - For aluminum, under the pressure of inventory accumulation expectations, weak demand, and macro disturbances, the short - term price is expected to remain under pressure at high levels. The main contract price this week is expected to be between 20,000 - 21,000 yuan/ton. Follow up on inventory changes and marginal demand changes [4]. Aluminum Alloy - The aluminum - aluminum alloy price difference strategy is the main approach. The market is expected to fluctuate widely, with the main contract running between 19,200 - 20,200 yuan/ton. Focus on upstream scrap aluminum supply and import changes [6][7]. Zinc - The basic situation of loose supply and weak demand provides insufficient support for continuous upward movement of zinc prices, but low inventory levels provide price support. In the short term, zinc prices are expected to fluctuate, with the main contract referring to 22,000 - 23,000 yuan/ton [11]. Tin - The US inflation slowdown and stronger interest - rate cut expectations drive tin prices to be relatively strong. If the supply recovers smoothly, a short - at - high strategy is recommended; if the supply recovery is less than expected, tin prices are expected to continue to oscillate at high levels [14]. Nickel - The mid - term supply is expected to remain loose, restricting the upside space for prices. In the short term, the market is expected to adjust within a range, with the main contract referring to 120,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to changes in macro expectations [16]. Stainless Steel - The sentiment has improved, and cost support has strengthened, but the fundamentals are still restricted by weak spot demand. In the short term, the market is expected to oscillate strongly, with the main contract running between 13,000 - 13,500 yuan/ton. Follow up on policy trends and supply - demand rhythms [18]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices are expected to fluctuate widely in a relatively strong range, with the main contract referring to 80,000 - 90,000 yuan/ton. One can appropriately pay attention to the positive spread opportunities between near - and far - term contracts [21]. 3.
