1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Palm oil: The domestic macro sentiment pushed palm oil to a three - year high, but the fundamentals lack continuous drivers. The market is trading the de - stocking scenario in the second half of the year. Malaysia is expected to continue the inventory accumulation trend in July, but it is conservatively estimated not to exceed 2.2 million tons. The B50 rumor in Indonesia has a low correlation with the price increase. The international oil market may see a systematic upward trend due to reduced export supply, and palm oil is sensitive to this. The bean - palm spread is unlikely to return to par this year, and opportunities to go long on palm oil at low levels should be continuously monitored [2][3]. - Soybean oil: The continuous good rainfall in the Midwest of the United States in mid - to - late July is beneficial for improving the yield per unit. Before the USDA August report, CBOT soybeans will maintain a weak fluctuation if there is no more positive progress in Sino - US trade negotiations. The large number of domestic soybean oil export orders has reversed the weak situation, and if this trend continues, it is expected to drive the domestic bean - palm spread closer to the international one [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Last Week's Viewpoints and Logic - Palm oil: The domestic macro sentiment pushed palm oil to a three - year high, but the fundamentals lack continuous drivers. Without a strong supply theme, the high price needs strong downstream demand to support it. With weak demand from India, the price at the high level was difficult to rise further. The palm oil 09 contract fell 0.29% last week [1]. - Soybean oil: A large number of domestic soybean oil export orders ignited the trading enthusiasm. The bean - palm spread narrowed significantly, and soybean oil showed signs of a catch - up rise. The soybean oil 09 contract rose 1.6% last week [1]. 3.2 This Week's Viewpoints and Logic 3.2.1 Palm oil - Fundamental analysis: After the slight increase in inventory in the MPOB June report, the negative impact was digested, and the price rebounded. It is estimated that the production in July will still be difficult to reach 1.8 million tons, and the export volume in the first 25 days was poor, estimated to be less than 1.4 million tons. The demand in the producing areas is expected to remain high, and Malaysia will continue the inventory accumulation trend, but not exceed 2.2 million tons. In Indonesia, the price of various palm oils is high, and the market is quite resistant to price drops. The B50 rumor has a low correlation with the price increase. The production recovery may fall short of expectations, and the inventory will remain below 3 million tons throughout the year. The US biodiesel policy will lead to a reduction in the supply of US soybean oil in the international market, which will drive up the international oil market, and palm oil may be affected [2]. - Market sentiment and trading opportunities: The market has different views on the palm oil production in Malaysia this year. If the production in July - August maintains a good yield per unit, there will be a large inventory accumulation pressure in August - September. If the inventory in Malaysia does not exceed 2.3 million tons, the market may have digested the high - point inventory. If the inventory accumulation in August - September exceeds expectations, palm oil may still have room for correction, but attention should be paid to the potential positive sentiment caused by lower - than - expected production in July - August [2][3]. - Sales area analysis: Except for sunflower oil, the import profit of crude palm oil is higher than that of crude soybean oil. The reconstruction of channel inventory is in progress. As long as the monthly import volume can be maintained above 800,000 tons, the inventory of Malaysian palm oil is difficult to exceed 2.3 million tons. The current fundamentals in the producing areas are not sufficient to stimulate China to open commercial profits, and the bean - palm spread is difficult to return to par [2]. 3.2.2 Soybean oil - International situation: Good rainfall in the Midwest of the United States in mid - to - late July is beneficial for improving the yield per unit. Before the USDA August report, CBOT soybeans will maintain a weak fluctuation if there is no more positive progress in Sino - US trade negotiations. Only positive news from Sino - US trade negotiations can drive up the price of US soybeans [4]. - Domestic situation: The large number of domestic soybean oil export orders has reversed the weak situation. Although the domestic apparent demand for pick - up is poor, oil mills are actively exporting. If this trend continues, it is expected to drive the domestic bean - palm spread closer to the international one. If the purchase of US soybeans for the October shipment has not been made, there is potential for the spread between months and the Brazilian premium to rise, and soybean oil may benefit [4]. 3.3 Disk Basic Market Data - Futures prices: The palm oil main - continuous contract closed at 8,910 yuan/ton, down 0.29%; the soybean oil main - continuous contract closed at 8,274 yuan/ton, up 1.6%; the rapeseed oil main - continuous contract closed at 9,524 yuan/ton, up 0.71%; the Malaysian palm oil main - continuous contract closed at 4,245 ringgit/ton, down 0.72%; the CBOT soybean oil main - continuous contract closed at 53.90 cents/pound, down 3.61% [8]. - Trading volume and open interest: The trading volume of the palm oil main - continuous contract was 2,707,492 lots, a decrease of 767,521 lots; the open interest was 394,141 lots, a decrease of 62,307 lots. The trading volume of the soybean oil main - continuous contract was 3,475,013 lots, a decrease of 47,548 lots; the open interest was 499,756 lots, a decrease of 4,882 lots [8]. - Spreads: The rapeseed - soybean 09 spread was 1,250 yuan/ton, down 4.8%; the bean - palm 09 spread was 363 yuan/ton, up 19.7%. The palm oil 9 - 1 spread was - 20 yuan/ton, down 350%; the soybean oil 9 - 1 spread was 48 yuan/ton, up 20%; the rapeseed oil 9 - 1 spread was 58 yuan/ton, up 3.57% [8]. - Warehouse receipts: The number of palm oil warehouse receipts was 570 lots, an increase of 570 lots; the number of soybean oil warehouse receipts was 3,000 lots, a decrease of 18,495 lots; the number of rapeseed oil warehouse receipts was 3,487 lots, with no change [8]. 3.4 Oil Fundamental Information - Production and inventory: Malaysia's palm oil production is expected to recover in July, and the inventory is expected to continue to increase. Indonesia's inventory is expected to remain low after the second quarter, and the price difference between Indonesia and Malaysia remains high [10][13]. - Export and import: ITS estimates that Malaysia's palm oil exports from July 1 - 31 were 1.289727 million tons, a 6.71% decrease compared to the same period last month. The EU's cumulative imports of palm oil in 2025 decreased by 330,000 tons, and the cumulative imports of four major oils decreased by 640,000 tons [13][15]. - Other indicators: The POGO spread rebounded significantly, the import profit of Indian palm oil started to improve, and the basis of palm oil (South China) for 09 was - 20, while the basis of soybean oil (Jiangsu) rebounded [11][13][15].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The price of cast aluminum alloy futures fluctuated downward this week, reaching a low of 19,800 yuan/ton. The traditional off - season characteristics of the market are becoming more obvious, with downstream enterprises on high - temperature holidays, which drags down the orders of recycled aluminum. Although some small and medium - sized enterprises have reduced or stopped production, large factories maintain stable production. The cost support logic still exists, and it is expected that the price of cast aluminum alloy will maintain a narrow - range fluctuation in the short term [6]. - As of August 1st, the inventory of aluminum alloy ingots (factory + social) increased by 0.32 million tons to 11 million tons compared with the previous week, remaining at a high level. The upstream waste aluminum supply is tight, and the downstream automotive sales in July, as a traditional off - season, face growth pressure [6]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Supply - end: Waste Aluminum - Waste aluminum production is at a high level, and social inventory is at a historically medium - high level. The import of waste aluminum is also at a high level, with a relatively fast year - on - year growth rate. For example, in June 2025, the import of aluminum scrap and waste was 1.556 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 11.45% [9][14]. - The refined - scrap price difference shows an oscillatory trend [18]. Supply - end: Recycled Aluminum - The spot price of cast aluminum alloy decreased slightly, and the gap between ADC12 and A00 converged. The regional price difference of cast aluminum alloy weakened and showed certain seasonal patterns [26][31]. - The weekly operating rate of cast aluminum alloy decreased slightly, while the monthly operating rate increased. The cost of ADC12 is mainly composed of waste aluminum, and currently, it is estimated to be in an average loss state [36][37]. - The factory inventory of cast aluminum alloy decreased rapidly, while social inventory continued to accumulate. The import window of cast aluminum alloy is temporarily closed [42][44]. - For recycled aluminum rods, information on production and inventory is provided. For example, in terms of production, data from different periods are presented, and the inventory situation in factories is also shown with relevant proportion information [47][49]. Demand - end: Terminal Consumption - The production of fuel vehicles has recovered, which has been transmitted to the die - casting consumption. In July 2024 (July 21 - July 27), the total sales volume of domestic passenger cars reached 467,000, a year - on - year increase of 4.71% and a month - on - month increase of 14.74%. However, in July, as a traditional automotive consumption off - season, there is pressure on automotive sales growth [6][55].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the thermal coal industry is a bullish and volatile outlook [1] Core Viewpoint - This week, the spot price of thermal coal at northern ports showed a bullish and volatile pattern. Supply tightened in major production areas due to some coal mines halting or reducing production after completing monthly tasks at the end of July and weather - related disruptions in production or transportation. Non - power demand maintained on - demand procurement at production areas, but downstream power terminals had limited acceptance of the spot price hikes at northern ports [1][9] Summary by Relevant Catalogs This Week's Market Review Domestic Thermal Coal Origin Prices - The report presents price charts of 5500 - kcal thermal coal in Linfen, Shuozhou, and Jinzhong, as well as the pit - mouth prices of 4500/5500 - kcal thermal coal in Ordos [3] Port Inventory - As of August 1, 2025, the total coal inventory at Qinhuangdao Port was 5.35 million tons, at Caofeidian Port was 5.12 million tons, at Jingtang Port's Guotou Port Area was 1.3 million tons, and at Guangzhou Xinsha Port was 1.89 million tons [3] Northern and Southern Port Thermal Coal Prices - The report shows price charts of 5500 - kcal thermal coal at Qinhuangdao Port, Guangzhou Port, and Fangchenggang Port.

Some dealers have a bearish outlook and weak stocking willingness, slowing down the inventory reduction rhythm of paper mills [6] - This week, the operating load rate of domestic double - coated paper was 50.13%, remaining flat month - on - month, and the trend changed from rising to stable. The production enthusiasm of double - coated paper manufacturers changed little, and the industry operation was basically stable [6] - In June 2025, the total inventory in European ports increased by 1.87% month - on - month and 27.23% compared with June 2024. Inventory in ports of the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Switzerland decreased by 4.57% month - on - month, while inventory in ports of the UK, Italy, and Spain increased by 47.71%, 9.69%, and 7.15% respectively month - on - month, and inventory in German ports remained flat [6] Market Trend - As of July 31, the average price of 70g high - white double - coated paper was 4993.75 yuan/ton, the same as yesterday, and decreased by 81.25 yuan/ton compared with last week [9] - In the spot market, the prices of some paper types in Shandong and Guangdong markets decreased. In terms of cost - profit, both pre - tax and after - tax gross profits decreased [10] Supply - Demand Data Industry Capacity - The industry capacity is continuously being put into production, and the current industry as a whole is in a state of over - supply. In 2024, the domestic double - coated paper industry capacity was about 16.52 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 7%, and the annual output was about 9.478 million tons, with a capacity utilization rate of 57% [15][19] Weekly Production and Capacity Utilization - This week, the domestic double - coated paper industry output was 168,500 tons, and the capacity utilization rate was 50.1% [24] Weekly Sales and Inventory - This week, the domestic double - coated paper industry sales volume was 173,100 tons, and the enterprise inventory was 346,700 tons [29] Import and Export - In June, the domestic double - coated paper import volume was about 15,000 tons, and the export volume was about 66,000 tons [35] Inventory Situation - In terms of inventory days, Central China > East China > South China; the social inventory pressure is higher than the enterprise inventory [41] Terminal Consumption - In recent years, the growth rate of retail sales of books, newspapers, and magazines has gradually slowed down [46] Market Judgment - Supply: This week, the domestic double - coated paper industry output was 168,500 tons, and the capacity utilization rate was 50.1%.

It is expected that under the drive of relevant "anti - involution" policies, the quotes of large - scale paper mills will mostly remain stable. However, from the perspective of fundamentals, there are no new shutdown plans in the market next week, and it is expected that the supply side will change little. As publishing order pick - up ends, the demand side's support for paper prices will weaken. It is expected that due to supply - demand contradictions, market transactions will be more flexible, and paper prices will continue to decline next week [50] - Valuation: Based on the current pulp price, the current pre - tax gross profit of double - coated paper is about - 56 yuan/ton, and the after - tax gross profit is about - 222 yuan/ton. Although the pulp price has been falling, as the peak consumption season ends, the fundamentals of paper have weakened, and the profit of paper mills has declined [50]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not provide an investment rating for the cotton industry. 2. Core View ICE cotton declined due to a lack of fundamental support and a strengthening US dollar. Chinese cotton futures fell by over 4% due to concerns about "low - value" warehouse receipts and a cooling financial market sentiment. Although the adjustment of Zhengzhou cotton futures is considered to be phased in place from a fundamental perspective, it is expected to oscillate around 13,600 as the financial market adjustment risk persists, and attention should be paid to policy trends and downstream demand [1][17]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No investment ratings for the industry are provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The overall commodity market is weakening, with various energy and chemical products showing different trends. Some products are trending down, some are in a volatile state, and some are facing pressure or have potential opportunities [2][10]. - For specific products, such as PX, PTA, and MEG, there are corresponding trading suggestions based on their supply - demand and cost situations [10]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs a. PX, PTA, MEG - **PX**: The commodity market is weakening, and PX多头减仓. Suggest to go long on PX and short on PTA01 contracts, and short PXN on rallies. Supply has a marginal decrease, and the cost side is strengthening [5][10]. - **PTA**: The trend is weak, and attention should be paid to positive spreads for the basis - spread arbitrage. Supply pressure is increasing, and the 01 contract's long - PX short - PTA strategy can be considered. The basis is in a reverse - arbitrage situation, and the 9 - 1 month spread positive arbitrage can be focused on [10][12]. - **MEG**: The unilateral trend is still weak, and the basis - spread strategy is to go long on the basis and short on the month spread. There is supply pressure from non - mainstream warehouse receipts, and the port inventory is decreasing. Attention can be paid to the short - MEG long - L arbitrage [12][13]. b. Rubber - The rubber market is in a volatile state. This week, the macro and fundamental factors have turned from strong to weak, leading to a high - level correction of rubber prices. The downstream tire enterprise procurement has weakened, and the inventory has increased [14][18]. c. Synthetic Rubber - In the short term, it is weak, but the downside space is narrowing. Although the overall commodity speculative sentiment is weakening, the significant decline in butadiene's port and production enterprise inventories provides support at the valuation end [19][21]. d. Asphalt - It is in a high - level volatile state, and attention should be paid to the possible rise of crude oil prices again. This week, the domestic asphalt production capacity utilization rate has increased, the maintenance volume has decreased, and the shipment volume has increased [22][33]. e. LLDPE - The trend still has pressure. Macroscopically, there is a risk of an unexpected trade war in August. The cost is rising due to the increase in crude oil prices, the supply pressure is increasing, and the demand support is not strong [34][35]. f. PP - The spot price is falling, and the trading is light. The futures price is oscillating at a low level, which increases the wait - and - see sentiment of market participants. The cost support of the supply side is weakening, and the downstream procurement is cautious [38][39]. g. Caustic Soda - There are still expectations for the peak - season demand. Currently, it is in the off - season, and the price increase momentum is insufficient, but it is supported by the cost. In the long term, there is potential for demand growth [41][43]. h. Pulp - It is in a weakly volatile state. The reasons for the price fluctuation include the decline of the futures price following the overall commodity market, weak spot demand, and unresolved supply pressure [46][49]. i. Glass - The price of the original sheet is stable. The domestic float - glass original - sheet price fluctuates, with some regions' prices rising and some falling. The downstream is digesting inventory, and the enterprise shipment is partly slowing down [51][52]. j. Methanol - It is under oscillating pressure. The port methanol market is in a state of inventory accumulation, and the downstream is resistant to high prices. The inland market is rising, mainly due to the increase in external procurement by northwest olefin plants [56][58]. k. Urea - The pressure is gradually increasing. The enterprise inventory has increased, the domestic demand is weakening, and the export is not meeting expectations. In the short term, it is expected to be under oscillating pressure [60][61]. l.
