Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: ★★★, indicating a clearer long trend with a relatively appropriate investment opportunity currently [1] - Fuel oil: Not clearly defined in the given content - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Not clearly defined in the given content - Asphalt: ★★★, indicating a clearer long trend with a relatively appropriate investment opportunity currently [1] - Liquefied petroleum gas: Not clearly defined in the given content Core Views - The supply - side contraction has not led to a cyclical inflection point in oil prices, and the rebound space of oil prices is still limited despite the overnight rebound [2] - The logic of high - sulfur being weaker than low - sulfur fuel oil continues. Low - sulfur fuel oil is currently strong due to supply - side fluctuations, but there is still medium - term supply pressure. High - sulfur fuel oil's supply pattern is expected to be loose in the medium term [2] - The cost support for asphalt is weakening, demand is seasonally weakening, and the medium - and long - term fundamentals are bearish [3] - The import cost of international liquefied petroleum gas is expected to rise in December, and the supply - demand relationship is tightening marginally, so LPG is expected to be volatile and bullish [3] Summaries by Relevant Categories Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices rebounded, with the SC01 contract rising 0.48% during the day. WTI is sensitive to geopolitical fluctuations above the US shale oil marginal production cost of $50/barrel. As the US sanctions on Russian oil take effect on November 21, major Indian buyers have suspended purchasing Russian crude for December delivery, and Trump mentioned sanctions legislation against countries trading with Russia and Iran. However, the API inventory in the US increased by 4.448 million barrels last week, limiting the oil price rebound space [2] Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - Low - sulfur fuel oil is currently strong due to supply - side issues. Overseas refinery operations are unstable, the Kuwait Azur refinery has no clear restart date, Kuwait's fuel oil shipments are low, and the conversion of low - sulfur export quotas to refined oil in China is 490,000 tons. The end - of - year export pressure in China has eased marginally, and the fourth - quarter shipping fuel peak season and improved Sino - US trade relations have boosted the fundamentals. But the planned maintenance of the Dangote refinery's RFOC unit in late December may increase low - sulfur shipments, and medium - term supply pressure exists. High - sulfur fuel oil: Russia's shipments to Asia increased by 0.9% to 1.31 million tons in November, but the actual exports after November 21 are uncertain. With the Middle East's stable production increase and the end of the power - generation peak season, local exports are expected to increase, and the feedstock demand may decline after the new quota issuance, leading to a loose medium - term supply pattern [2] Asphalt - In November, the discount of diluted asphalt dropped to - $11/barrel, weakening the cost support. The weekly shipment volume has decreased month - on - month since November and is at the lowest level in the same period in the past four years. The commercial inventory destocking has slowed down, and the year - on - year increase in social inventory has expanded since late October. The demand for the "14th Five - Year Plan" end - year project rush has been falsified, and the subsequent demand will follow the seasonal weakening rule, with a bearish impact on BU in the medium and long term [3] Liquefied Petroleum Gas - The expected import cost of international liquefied petroleum gas will increase in December. The improved profitability of butane dehydrogenation units has boosted the downstream chemical enterprises' enthusiasm for starting up, and the significant cooling in many places has improved the combustion - end demand. The inventory rates of refineries and ports have decreased. The marginal tightening of supply - demand has boosted LPG to be seen as volatile and bullish [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Copper: ★☆☆ [1] - Aluminum: ★☆☆ [1] - Alumina: Not clearly defined in a comparable way [1] - Cast Aluminum Alloy: ★☆☆ [1] - Zinc: ★☆☆ [1] - Nickel and Stainless Steel: ★☆☆ [1] - Tin: ★☆☆ [1] - Lithium Carbonate: ★☆☆ [1] - Industrial Silicon: Not clearly defined in a comparable way [1] - Polysilicon: Not clearly defined in a comparable way [1] 2. Core Views of the Report - The market's expectations for the probability of a US interest rate cut in December are highly volatile. Different metals have varying fundamentals and price trends, with some facing supply - demand imbalances and others influenced by macro - economic factors and industry - specific events [1][2][6] 3. Summary by Metal Copper - The Shanghai copper market closed higher on Wednesday, with the market refocusing on US employment pressure and waiting for relevant data. Freeport expects its Indonesian subsidiary's gold - copper output in 2026 to be the same as in 2025. The stop - loss point for short positions is adjusted down to 87,000 [1] Aluminum & Alumina & Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum rebounded slightly, with spot discounts in East, Central, and South China slightly narrowing. Aluminum ingot and bar social inventories increased. The aluminum market may continue to adjust due to general short - term fundamentals and poor inventory feedback. Cast aluminum alloy follows the aluminum price, and the price difference with AL may narrow. Alumina has a high operating capacity, rising inventory, and an oversupply situation, and will operate weakly [2] Zinc - Both domestic and foreign mine TC decreased. Refineries' production cuts in November gradually materialized, and downstream buying sentiment improved. Shanghai zinc rebounded after testing the 60 - day moving average. The short - term domestic fundamentals are neutral. The price is expected to fluctuate in the range of 22,000 - 23,000 yuan/ton, and there is room for cross - market reverse arbitrage [3] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel fluctuated narrowly, with dull trading. The market is concerned about overseas liquidity stability. Upstream price support is weakening, which may drag down the entire nickel industry chain. Nickel and stainless steel inventories increased, and nickel prices are expected to be weak [6] Tin - Shanghai tin rebounded with increased positions, but the increase was limited below 295,000. The Congo (Kinshasa)'s tin export restrictions do not affect major mines. The key factors for a tight supply in the future are the resumption of production in Dibang and the efficiency of Indonesia's Tianma's capacity rectification. High - position short positions should be held with a stop - loss at 295,000 [7] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices continued to rise, with active trading. Downstream material factories are actively producing, and the total market inventory decreased. The futures price is strong, with continuous inventory reduction and strong downstream demand. A buy - on - dips strategy is recommended [8] Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon futures rose strongly with increased positions, driven by the significant increase in DMC prices after an organic silicon industry meeting. The market sentiment has shifted to optimism. The medium - to - long - term trend is bullish, but a technical correction after a concentrated release of sentiment should be watched out for [9] Polysilicon - Polysilicon futures rose with reduced positions, mainly driven by the strong industrial silicon market. The photovoltaic demand is weak, and the fundamentals have limited room for improvement. It is expected to maintain a volatile pattern in the short term, and the impact of the "anti - involution" sentiment in the industrial silicon's downstream organic silicon sector should be noted [10]

The price difference between domestic and imported soybeans decreased. The market is speculating on China's policy - based procurement of US soybeans and the increase in US domestic soybean crushing volume. Short - term focus on the performance of domestic soybean spot and policy [2] Soybean & Soybean Meal - In October, the US soybean crushing volume reached 228 million bushels, a record high. The planting progress of new - season soybeans in Brazil is slow, with a sowing rate of 69.0% as of November 15, behind last year's 73.8%. Concerns about the impact of La Nina on soybean yields in Brazil and Argentina. The main contract of domestic soybean meal futures continued to correct, and the basis weakened. The domestic market has sufficient soybean supply and poor crushing profits, with high soybean inventory and a decline in soybean meal inventory but still in the million - ton level. Wait for the signing of the Sino - US economic and trade agreement and track its implementation. Consider buying on dips after stabilization [3] Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - US soybeans are strong. The market is speculating on China's policy - based procurement of US soybeans and the increase in US domestic soybean crushing volume. The cost of imported soybeans has risen, and domestic near - end crushing profits are still poor. Soybean oil is stronger than soybean meal and palm oil. Palm oil is in a sideways shock, and its price trend may change with the improvement of supply - demand [4] Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - Domestic rapeseed futures oscillated weakly today, weaker than their competitors. Rapeseed products have a statistical premium, resulting in mediocre demand, especially for rapeseed meal. Australian rapeseed is expected to arrive in China soon, and the premium of rapeseed futures prices will gradually decline. The supply of domestic rapeseed products has variables, and the demand is expected to be average, with short - term pressure on futures prices [6] Corn - Dalian corn futures oscillated and corrected today. The increase in new - season corn in Northeast China has decreased, and farmers are more reluctant to sell, with prices slightly stronger. The arrival of corn in Shandong has increased slightly, and prices are stable. The inventory of downstream corn is generally low, and the purchase price has risen with the increase in the operating rate of deep - processing enterprises. Wait for the signing of the Sino - US trade agreement, and pay attention to the sales progress of new corn in Northeast China. The 01 contract of Dalian corn futures may continue to correct [7] Live Hogs - The near - month contract of live hog futures hit a new low, and the far - month contract followed. The spot price is relatively stable. The futures market is trading on potential future supply pressure. Historically, the bottom of the pig cycle often shows a double - bottom "W" shape. The low price in October is likely the first emotional bottom, and there is a high probability of a second bottom in the first half of next year due to supply pressure and the off - season of demand [8] Eggs - Egg futures continued to face selling pressure, with an overall increase in positions, and the February contract led the decline. The spot price of eggs across the country generally fell. Reasons include the decline of vegetable prices, the approaching delivery of the December contract, and the current high - supply and off - season - demand situation. Hold short positions in near - month contracts at high levels [9]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Soybean Futures: ★☆☆ (One star, indicating a bullish/bearish bias with a driving force for price movement, but limited operability on the market) [1] - Palm Oil: Not clearly rated [1] - Soybean Meal: ★☆☆ [1] - Rapeseed Oil: ★☆☆ [1] - Rapeseed Meal: ★☆☆ [1] - Corn: ☆☆☆ (White star, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term trend with poor operability, advisable to wait and see) [1] - Live Pigs: Not clearly rated [1] - Eggs: ★☆☆ [1] Core Views - The report analyzes multiple agricultural products including soybeans, soybean meal, etc., and provides insights into their price trends, supply - demand situations, and potential investment opportunities based on domestic and international market data and policy factors [2][3][4] Summaries by Related Catalogs Soybean - The main contract of soybean futures significantly reduced positions today, with prices dropping rapidly from high levels. 35,000 tons of soybeans were auctioned by Sinograin at an average price of 3,900 yuan/ton. The price difference between domestic and imported soybeans decreased. The market is speculating on China's policy - based procurement of US soybeans and the increase in US domestic soybean crushing volume. Short - term focus is on the performance of domestic soybean spot and policy [2] Soybean & Soybean Meal - In October, the US soybean crushing volume reached 228 million bushels, a record high. The planting progress of new - season soybeans in Brazil is slow, with a sowing rate of 69.0% as of November 15, behind last year's 73.8%. The impact of La Nina on soybean yields in Brazil and Argentina needs continuous attention. Domestically, the main contract of Dalian soybean meal futures continued to correct, and the basis weakened. The domestic market has sufficient soybean supply and poor crushing profits. Soybean inventory remains high, and soybean meal inventory has decreased but is still in the millions. Wait for the signing of the new Sino - US economic and trade agreement and track its implementation. Consider buying on dips after stabilization [3] Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - US soybeans are performing strongly. The market is speculating on China's policy - based procurement of US soybeans and the increase in US domestic soybean crushing volume. The cost of imported soybeans has risen, and domestic near - term crushing profits are still poor. Domestic soybean oil is stronger than soybean meal and palm oil. Palm oil's short - term high - frequency data shows a weak supply - demand situation and is currently in a sideways shock. A change in palm oil price trends requires an improvement in the supply - demand situation. Short - term focus on the guidance of the oil supply - demand situation [4] Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - Domestic rapeseed - related futures had a weak shock today, weaker than their counterparts. Rapeseed products still have a statistical premium, resulting in lackluster demand, especially for rapeseed meal. The premium of rapeseed - related futures prices is expected to gradually decline as Australian rapeseed is about to arrive in China. The medium - to - long - term supply - demand of rapeseed products is more affected by Sino - Canadian relations, but there are no significant changes currently. Domestic rapeseed supply has variables, and attention should be paid to the arrival time of Australian rapeseed and direct imports of rapeseed meal and oil. Demand is expected to be mediocre, and rapeseed - related futures prices are under short - term pressure [6] Corn - Dalian corn futures oscillated and corrected today. The increase in new corn in Northeast China has decreased, and farmers' reluctance to sell has strengthened, with prices slightly stronger. The amount of corn arriving in Shandong has increased slightly, and prices are stable. The inventory of middle - and downstream corn is generally low, and the purchase price has risen with the increase in the operating rate of deep - processing enterprises.

The Dalian corn futures 01 contract may continue to correct [7] Live Pigs - The near - month live pig futures hit a new low, and the far - month contracts followed. The overall position increased by nearly 10,000 lots. The average spot price of live pigs is stable. The futures market is trading on the potential future supply pressure. Historically, the bottom of the pig cycle often shows a double - bottom "W" shape. The low pig price in October was likely the first emotional bottom - building. It is expected that pig prices will have a high probability of a second bottom - building in the first half of next year due to continuous supply pressure and the off - season of demand [8] Eggs - Egg futures continued to face selling pressure, and the overall position increased. The February contract led the decline. The national spot price of eggs generally decreased. Vegetable prices showed a downward trend, the December contract was approaching delivery and converging its premium to the spot, and the fundamental situation is a high - supply and off - season - demand stage. It is recommended to hold short positions in the near - month high - level contracts [9]
