Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - As the new seasonal peak season begins, steel demand rebounds month-on-month but the strength is weak. The supply side of steel mills is at a relatively high level, and the steel inventory pressure is large. The output of building materials decreases, but the output of hot-rolled coils increases, and the inventory of the five major steel products accumulates. For the long-term steel demand, although there is resilience, there is no obvious increase expected in real estate, infrastructure, manufacturing, etc. The market's main concern is whether anti-involution trading will occur again. Pay attention to policy news and terminal demand. The operating strategy is to participate in the short-term long side [35].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View The report suggests a wait - and - see approach for both manganese - silicon and silicon - iron due to factors such as supply - demand balance and coal price trends. For manganese - silicon, with overall loose supply - demand but low inventory and stable thermal coal prices, significant price trends are unlikely. For silicon - iron, its price movement depends on energy prices, and the supply - demand contradiction is limited [43]. 3. Summary by Directory Part 1: Market Review - **Steel Inventory**: This week, the total steel inventory was 1519.74 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 5.13 million tons with a significantly narrowed growth rate. Among them, the steel mill inventory was 418.38 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.14 million tons, and the social inventory was 1101.36 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.27 million tons [5]. - **Industry Policies and Data**: The National Energy Administration recently issued the "Technical Guidelines for the Preparation of Coal Mining Area Master Plans". In August, China exported 563 million tons of steel plates, a year - on - year decrease of 15.1%; from January to August, the cumulative export was 4808 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 0.1%. From January to August 2025, China's export of mechanical and electrical products was 10.6 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 9.2%, accounting for 60.2% of the total export value. In August 2025, China exported 760,000 cars, a year - on - year increase of 25.2%; from January to August, the cumulative export was 4.93 million, a year - on - year increase of 20.5%. In August 2025, China exported 2.89 million air conditioners, a year - on - year decrease of 22.4%; from January to August, the cumulative export was 47.78 million, a year - on - year increase of 2.0%.

In August, the export of washing machines was 3.28 million, a year - on - year increase of 11.2%; from January to August, the cumulative export was 23.03 million, a year - on - year increase of 6.1%. In August, the export of LCD TVs was 10.73 million, a year - on - year increase of 0.9%; from January to August, the cumulative export was 69 million, a year - on - year decrease of 2.0%. In August 2025, China's excavator output was 27,590, a year - on - year increase of 13.2%. From January to August 2025, China's excavator output was 245,556, a year - on - year increase of 17.6% [5]. - **Manganese - Silicon Futures and Spot Prices**: The report shows the price changes of manganese - silicon futures and spot in different regions, including the basis, year - on - year changes, 30 - day price changes, and weekly price changes. For example, in Inner Mongolia, the basis was 110, with a year - on - year increase of 0.53%, a 30 - day decrease of 0.35%, and a weekly increase of 0.88%, and the price was 5730 [9]. - **Silicon - Iron Futures and Spot Prices**: Although not detailed in the given text, the report also mentions the silicon - iron futures trend and basis situation [13][16]. - **Power Price Changes**: The report presents the power price changes of ferroalloy in different regions such as Ningxia, Qinghai, Yunnan, and Inner Mongolia from June 20, 2023, to August 20, 2025 [19]. Part 2: Manganese - Silicon Industry Chain Overview The report shows the price, import volume, inventory, profit estimation, output, and demand (related to steel output) of manganese ore in the manganese - silicon industry chain from 2019 to 2025 through charts, but no specific numerical data is given in the text [21][24][26][27][30][31]. Part 3: Silicon - Iron Industry Chain Overview The report shows the profit estimation, output, and demand (related to steel output) of silicon - iron in the silicon - iron industry chain from 2019 to 2025 through charts, but no specific numerical data is given in the text [34][38][40]. Part 4: Outlook - **Manganese - Silicon**: Last week, manganese - silicon futures rose, and the spot price increased slightly with a slight decline in the basis. The September bid price of the iconic steel mill was 6000 yuan/ton, slightly higher than expected, but the long - term indecision of downstream bids indicated general demand. The output of manganese - silicon decreased month - on - month, and steel production also decreased. With overall loose supply - demand but low inventory and stable thermal coal spot prices, significant price trends are unlikely, and a wait - and - see approach is recommended [43]. - **Silicon - Iron**: Last week, silicon - iron futures rose, the spot price reached a high and then slightly declined, and the basis changed little. The stable thermal coal spot price and high market expectations for the recovery of thermal coal prices drove the rebound of silicon - iron. In terms of supply - demand, the output last week remained flat, but steel production decreased month - on - month, and the supply - demand contradiction was limited. According to Mysteel statistics, the national capacity utilization rate of 136 independent silicon - iron enterprises was 34.84%, unchanged from last week, and the daily average output was 16,150 tons, unchanged from last week. The trend of silicon - iron depends on energy price changes, and a wait - and - see approach is recommended [43].

Report Title - "连粕大幅下挫 油脂高位震荡—国信期货油脂油料周报" [2] Report Date - September 19, 2025 [2] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Views - In the protein meal market, the CBOT soybeans and domestic continuous meal both showed a downward trend this week. The future of US soybean exports depends on the improvement of Sino-US economic and trade relations, and the domestic continuous meal is affected by factors such as whether China purchases US soybeans, Brazilian premium, and RMB exchange rate. In the oil market, the US biofuel policy is unclear, and the Malaysian palm oil is in a high - level shock. The domestic oil market is affected by supply, cost, and policy, showing an oscillating and slightly stronger trend [6][139]. Content Summary by Section Part 1: Protein Meal Market Analysis Market Trends - CBOT soybeans first rose and then fell this week. Domestic continuous meal oscillated lower, with the main contract breaking through the 3000 - integer mark and then rebounding at the end of the week. Domestic soybean meal spot prices also declined under pressure [6]. Export and Inspection - As of September 11, 2025, the weekly US soybean export inspection volume was 804,352 tons, higher than expected, but the cumulative export inspection volume this year is still affected by China's non - purchase [10][12]. Crop Growth - As of September 14, 2025, the US soybean good - to - excellent rate was 63%, the harvest rate was 5%, and the defoliation rate was 41% [24]. Weather Conditions - North American weather is complex, with the eastern half experiencing cool and dry weather, and some areas having unstable weather due to the interaction of cold fronts and monsoon circulation. South American weather information is not detailed in the report [27]. Oilseed Market - In August, the US soybean crushing volume decreased, but it was still higher than the same period last year. Analysts have different forecasts for Brazil's 2025/26 soybean production, and the US soybean industry is affected by Sino - US trade conflicts [41][42]. Inventory and Profit - As of the end of this week, the domestic port's imported soybean inventory decreased, and the theoretical available days for crushing are 19 days. The spot and futures crushing margins both declined significantly [50]. Production and Inventory - As of the 37th week (September 13), the domestic soybean oil mill's soybean opening rate increased, and the soybean meal inventory increased slightly. The rapeseed opening rate also increased, but it was at a very low level, and the rapeseed meal inventory decreased [58][67]. Consumption and Basis - The estimated apparent consumption of soybean meal in the 37th week was 190.12 tons, an increase from last week. The basis analysis of soybean meal and rapeseed meal shows different trends [61]. Part 2: Oil Market Analysis Market Trends - US soybean oil first rose and then fell this week. Malaysian palm oil followed US soybean oil and oscillated lower. Domestic oils showed a differentiated trend, with rapeseed oil rising, soybean oil first falling and then rebounding, and palm oil following Malaysian palm oil and oscillating [74]. International Oil Information - In August, the NOPA member's soybean oil inventory decreased. In Brazil, the proportion of soybean oil in soybean crushing profit reached a record high. India's palm oil imports increased in August, while soybean oil imports decreased. Different institutions have different statistics on Malaysia's September 1 - 15 palm oil exports [77][78]. Weather Conditions - Southeast Asia has experienced large - scale seasonal rains, with some areas having heavy rainfall [85]. Price and Spread - The prices and spreads of the three major vegetable oils (soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil) in the spot and futures markets show different trends. The overall inventory of domestic oils increased slightly this week, with soybean oil and palm oil inventories increasing and rapeseed oil inventory decreasing [95]. Basis and Spread Analysis - The basis analysis of soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil shows different trends. The oil - to - meal ratio of beans decreased, while that of rapeseed increased slightly. The spread between soybean and rapeseed meal increased slightly [115]. Inter - monthly Spread - This week, the 1 - 5 spread of soybean oil and palm oil decreased significantly, while the 1 - 5 spread of rapeseed oil increased significantly [123]. Part 3: Market Outlook Seasonal Analysis - Seasonal analysis of the US soybean, soybean meal, domestic continuous meal, and various oil and meal indexes shows different trends [129][130][132]. Next - Week Outlook - Technically, the short - term, medium - term, and long - term indicators of different varieties show different trends. Fundamentally, the protein meal market is affected by Sino - US trade and domestic inventory, and the oil market is affected by international policies and domestic demand [138][139].

Group 1: Report Title and Date - The report is titled "Zhengzhou Sugar Declines, Weakens in the Short Term - Guoxin Futures Sugar Weekly Report" and dated September 19, 2025 [2] Group 2: Sugar Market Analysis Futures Price Trends - Zhengzhou sugar futures prices declined, with a weekly drop of 1.43%. ICE sugar futures oscillated weakly, with a weekly decline of 2.28% [9] Spot Price and Basis Trends - Spot prices followed the decline of Zhengzhou sugar futures prices, but the basis showed signs of strengthening and remained at a relatively high level [59] Sales in Guangxi and Yunnan - No specific sales data were provided in the text, but relevant charts were presented [16] Sugar Imports - In July, 740,000 tons of sugar were imported, a year - on - year increase of 320,000 tons. Based on the ICE sugar October contract price of 16.5 cents per pound, the in - quota import cost from Brazil was 4,539 yuan per ton, and the out - of - quota cost was 5,769 yuan per ton; for Thailand, the in - quota cost was 4,580 yuan per ton, and the out - of - quota cost was 5,822 yuan per ton [22] Industrial Inventory - In the 2024/25 sugar season, the industrial inventory in August was approximately 1.16 million tons, an increase of 58,000 tons compared to the same period last year [25] Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange Warehouse Receipts and Valid Forecasts - This week, the total number of Zhengzhou sugar warehouse receipts plus forecasts was 10,629, a decrease of 1,116 from the previous week. There were 10,629 warehouse receipts and 0 valid forecasts [33] Brazil's Production Progress - In the second half of August, the cumulative sugarcane crushing volume was 404 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 4.78%, and the sugar production was 26.758 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.92% [37] Brazil's Bi - weekly Sugar - Making Ratio - The cumulative sugar - making ratio of sugarcane in the central - southern region of Brazil was 52.76%, compared to 49.09% in the same period last year [42] Brazil's Monthly Sugar Exports - Brazil's sugar exports in August were 3.744 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 4.47% [45] International Main Production Area Weather - There was little rainfall in Brazil's main production areas, which was beneficial for sugarcane crushing. India had abundant precipitation [55][56] Group 3: Market Outlook Domestic Market - Zhengzhou sugar prices declined. Spot prices followed suit. Although it was the peak season, trading volume did not improve significantly. The weak stock market dragged down the commodity market, and short - sellers increased their positions. Technically, the support level at 5,500 yuan per ton was broken, but there was cost support below this level. The market is expected to remain weak in the short term, but the downward space is limited [59] International Market - On the supply side, Brazil's production data showed that although the sugar - making ratio was slightly adjusted down, it remained above 51%. The dry weather in Brazil boosted the crushing progress, and the short - term supply pressure suppressed the market. The Asian market's high - yield expectations were still being digested, and India had high export expectations, but there was a lack of motivation at current prices. The price close to 15 cents per pound was close to the production cost of major international producers. Overall, the market was bearish, but the probability of a sharp decline was low [59] Group 4: Operation Suggestion - The operation suggestion is to focus on short - term trading [60]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Domestically, with the upcoming seed - cotton purchase, the expected purchase price is 6.2 - 6.5 yuan/kg. The Zhengzhou cotton futures face significant hedging pressure above 14,000 yuan/ton, while there is insufficient motivation for hedging below 13,000 yuan/ton. The "Golden September and Silver October" in consumption is lackluster, and the downstream profits are poor, so the cotton price is expected to turn weak. [53] - Internationally, the cotton price has risen and then fallen. The impact of the US dollar interest - rate cut is not positive. However, the expected 3 interest - rate cuts in the US in 2025 by mainstream institutions may boost the cotton market later. The USDA's monthly supply - demand report has little impact on the market. The US cotton export data has improved, and the consumption provides some support, so the cotton price is expected to fluctuate. [53] 3.

The cumulative import volume and value from January to August increased by 5.0% and 0.3% respectively compared to the same period last year [16] Port Inventory - As of September 18, 2025, the weekly pulp inventory in major Chinese regions and ports such as Baoding, Tianjin Port, Rizhao Port, Qingdao Port, Changshu Port, Shanghai Port, Gaolan Port, and Nansha Port was 2.0832 million tons, a 0.54% increase from the previous week, with the growth rate narrowing by 0.17 percentage points [20] European Pulp Consumption and Inventory in July - In July 2025, the total inventory in European ports decreased by 1.91% month-on-month and increased by 19.19% compared to July 2024. Only the inventory in ports of the Netherlands/Belgium/France/Switzerland increased by 1.72% month-on-month, while the inventory in ports of the UK, Germany, Italy, and Spain decreased by 26.03%, 6.96%, 1.45%, and 7.22% respectively [24] Downstream Pulp Operating Rates - Waste paper pulp consumption is the main consumption method of pulp in China, accounting for 63% of the total pulp consumption. Wood pulp consumption accounts for 31% of the total pulp consumption, and imported wood pulp consumption accounts for 21% of the total pulp consumption. Non-wood pulp consumption accounts for 6% of the total pulp consumption. As of September 18, the operating load rates of double-coated paper, offset paper, white cardboard, and tissue paper increased by 0.29, 0.66, 0.16, and 2.51 percentage points respectively week-on-week [30] Group 4: Future Outlook - As of September 18, 2025, the weekly pulp inventory in major Chinese regions and ports was 2.0832 million tons, a 0.54% increase from the previous week, with the growth rate narrowing by 0.17 percentage points. The cumulative import volume and value from January to August increased by 5.0% and 0.3% respectively compared to the same period last year, with the overall import volume showing a stable performance. Arauco of Chile announced a new round of pulp export quotes for September: softwood pulp Silver Star at 700 US dollars/ton, natural pulp Venus at 590 US dollars/ton, and hardwood pulp Star up 20 US dollars/ton to 540 US dollars/ton. With the new round of export quotes rising, some industry players are reluctant to sell and hold prices. There is a tentative price increase in the spot market of imported softwood pulp, but the profit margin of downstream paper mills is under pressure and their acceptance is limited, resulting in a slight adjustment of pulp prices. During the conversion period between the traditional off-season and peak season of pulp, the downstream demand has not improved significantly, and the market expectation is weak.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The asphalt market has abundant supply, with the domestic asphalt supply expected to remain ample in September due to the recovery of production profits and the resumption of some previously shut - down facilities.
