1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - The methanol market shows a situation where upstream coal - based profits are relatively high, while downstream comprehensive profits are relatively poor, and the valuation of methanol is relatively high. Currently, the supply - demand driving force of methanol is not strong, and the basis in the East China region needs to converge. It is expected that the 09 contract will operate in the range of 2300 - 2500 yuan/ton. It is recommended to wait and see on a single - side basis and choose the opportunity to go long on MTO profits [1] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1. Futures and Spot Prices and Basis - **Methanol Futures Prices**: MA01 closed at 2434 yuan/ton, up 14 yuan/ton (0.58%); MA05 closed at 2360 yuan/ton, up 13 yuan/ton (0.55%); MA09 closed at 2372 yuan/ton, down 1 yuan/ton (- 0.04%) [1] - **Methanol Spot Prices**: Spot prices in most regions declined.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - For lead, raw material tightness and peak - season expectations support the lead price, with short - term prices expected to be range - bound and firm. However, high lead prices may limit downstream purchasing, capping the upside potential [1]. - For zinc, recent macro - positive sentiment and supply - side disruptions have led to a rebound in zinc prices. But the rebound suppresses downstream purchasing, causing inventory accumulation and limited upside. Opportunities to short may emerge after positive factors fade [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Lead - **Prices and Trading Data**: SMM1 lead ingot average price rose 0.59% to 17,000 yuan/ton, and the futures main - contract closing price rose 0.09% to 17,175 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the active futures contract decreased 7.42% to 33,005 lots, while the open interest increased 1.25% to 52,261 lots. The LME 3 - month lead futures closing price (electronic) rose 0.71% to 2,058.5 dollars/ton, and the Shanghai - London lead price ratio decreased 0.62% to 8.34 [1]. - **Fundamentals**: There is no expected increase in lead concentrate imports, and processing fees are likely to rise. Primary lead production is stable with a slight increase. For secondary lead, rising scrap lead - acid battery prices, limited supplies, and hoarding by recyclers have led to some refineries reducing or halting production due to raw material shortages or cost - price inversions. Demand is shifting from the off - season to the peak season, which may reduce the drag on lead prices [1]. - **Industry News**: In June, the silver by - product output of primary lead smelters increased 1.3% month - on - month. In July, it may decline slightly due to regular maintenance. The additional tariff negotiation for the US REDDOG lead ore may end with both parties sharing the cost, and the ore will enter the domestic market by the end of the third quarter. Zhongse Co., Ltd.'s subsidiary plans to expand the production scale of the Baiyinnuoer lead - zinc mine from 990,000 tons/year to 1.65 million tons/year [1]. Zinc - **Prices and Trading Data**: SMM1 zinc ingot average price rose 0.55% to 22,090 yuan/ton, and the futures main - contract closing price rose 0.32% to 22,120 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the active futures contract decreased 2.53% to 154,513 lots, and the open interest decreased 3.46% to 114,762 lots. The LME 3 - month zinc futures closing price (electronic) rose 0.86% to 2,742.5 dollars/ton, and the Shanghai - London zinc price ratio decreased 0.54% to 8.07 [1]. - **Fundamentals**: Zinc smelters have sufficient raw material stocks, and zinc concentrate processing fees are rising. The tight supply of zinc concentrate has improved, reducing production constraints and cost support. Refinery profits and production enthusiasm have increased, with an obvious upward trend in output. Demand is weak, and downstream buyers mainly make purchases based on rigid needs [1]. - **Industry News**: In the second quarter of 2025, the Kipushi zinc mine in Congo (Kinshasa) produced 41,800 metal tons of zinc concentrate. In June, production was affected by capacity - bottleneck upgrades and low - grade ore processing. After the first - stage upgrade, the daily available time of the DMS system increased from 6 to 16 hours. The second - stage upgrade in August is expected to increase the annual processing capacity from 800,000 to 960,000 tons, and the DMS available time to 22 hours/day. The annual zinc production guidance remains at 180,000 - 240,000 tons [1].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned [1] 2. Core View - The supply pressure of urea remains high, with high daily production. The price of urea in July is still supported by the top - dressing demand, and low - buying opportunities can be considered. However, if domestic agricultural demand weakens and export demand is not supplemented, the urea price will face significant downward pressure, and the subsequent turnaround lies in exports [1] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Urea Price and Related Data - **Futures Prices**: On July 9, UR01, UR05, UR09, and Shandong urea futures prices (closing prices) were 1736.00 yuan/ton, 1736.00 yuan/ton, 1770.00 yuan/ton, and 1840.00 yuan/ton respectively, with changes of 13.00 yuan/ton (0.75%), 9.00 yuan/ton (0.52%), 7.00 yuan/ton (0.40%), and 20.00 yuan/ton (1.10%) compared to July 8 [1] - **Spot Prices**: Domestic spot prices in different regions on July 9 showed varying degrees of change compared to July 8. For example, the prices in Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Northeast, and Jiangsu were 1700.00 yuan/ton, 1840.00 yuan/ton, 1800.00 yuan/ton, 1880.00 yuan/ton, and 1850.00 yuan/ton respectively, with changes of 20.00 yuan/ton (1.19%), 30.00 yuan/ton (1.66%), 20.00 yuan/ton (1.12%), 0.00 yuan/ton (0.00%), and 10.00 yuan/ton (0.54%) [1] - **Basis and Spreads**: The basis of Shandong spot - UR was 104.00 yuan/ton on July 9, an increase of 11.00 yuan compared to July 8. The 01 - 05 spread was 0.00 yuan/ton on July 9, an increase of 4.00 yuan compared to July 8 [1] - **Upstream Costs**: The prices of anthracite coal in Henan and Shanxi remained unchanged at 1080.00 yuan/ton and 820.00 yuan/ton respectively on July 9 compared to July 8 [1] - **Downstream Prices**: The prices of compound fertilizer (45%S) in Shandong and Henan remained unchanged at 2930.00 yuan/ton and 2520.00 yuan/ton respectively. The price of melamine in Shandong decreased by 17.00 yuan/ton (- 0.34%) to 5006.00 yuan/ton, while the price in Jiangsu remained unchanged at 5200.00 yuan/ton [1] Important Information - On the previous trading day, the opening price of the urea futures main contract 2509 was 1775 yuan/ton, the highest price was 1781 yuan/ton, the lowest price was 1763 yuan/ton, the closing price was 1770 yuan/ton, the settlement price was 1771 yuan/ton, and the holding volume was 211186 lots [1] Trading Strategy - The previous trading day, UR showed a strong - side shock and closed at 1770. The supply pressure of urea is still large, with high daily production. Although the enterprise inventory decreased slightly last week mainly due to increased port - collection, the upstream enterprise inventory is still about 880,000 tons. The top - dressing demand in July will support the price, so low - buying opportunities can be considered. But if domestic agricultural demand weakens and export demand is not supplemented, the urea price will face significant downward pressure [1]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - Industrial silicon supply may fall short of expectations, with potential restarts in the polysilicon sector leading to a price rebound. Driven by the "anti-involution" sentiment, industrial silicon futures and spot prices are rising in tandem, and may continue to strengthen in the short term. In the long term, the selling pressure after the rebound may stimulate the resumption of production in the southwest region, and upward pressure remains [1]. - Affected by the supply - side reform expectations and market sentiment, the polysilicon market is firm. In the short term, driven by bullish sentiment, prices may continue to strengthen with increased volatility [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Price Data - **Industrial Silicon Futures and Spot Prices**: The average price of non - oxygenated 553 (East China) remained unchanged at 8,500 yuan/ton, and the 421 (East China) average price was also flat at 9,050 yuan/ton. The futures main contract closed at 8,140 yuan/ton, down 0.91% from the previous day. The basis (East China 553 - futures main) increased by 75 yuan to 360 yuan/ton [1]. - **Polysilicon Futures and Spot Prices**: N - type polysilicon material rose 2.63% to 39 yuan/kg. The futures main contract closed at 39,270 yuan/ton, up 2.31%. The basis increased by 115 yuan to - 270 yuan/ton [1]. - **Industrial Silicon Spot Prices**: Different grades and regions showed different price trends. For example, the average price of non - oxygenated 553 in Sichuan increased by 0.61% to 8,200 yuan/ton, and the average price of oxygenated 553 in Kunming increased by 0.58% to 8,650 yuan/ton [1]. - **Polysilicon Spot Prices**: N - type dense material rose 2.63% to 39 yuan/kg, while other types like polysilicon re - feedstock remained unchanged [1]. - **Silicon Wafer Prices**: N - type 210R rose 1.01% to 1 yuan/piece, and N - type 183mm rose 1.15% to 0.88 yuan/piece. On July 9th, N - type silicon wafers had a significant price increase, with an average increase of 0.1 - 0.15 yuan/piece [1]. - **Battery and Component Prices**: All battery and component prices remained unchanged on the day [1]. - **Organic Silicon Prices**: DMC, 107 glue, and silicone oil prices remained unchanged. On July 9th, a Shandong monomer enterprise raised the online DMC quote to 10,700 yuan/ton, up 400 yuan/ton from the previous level, and the DMC price is expected to fluctuate in the future [1]. Fundamental Analysis - **Industrial Silicon Supply and Demand**: On the supply side, northern large - scale factories plan to cut production, while the southwest region is about to enter the wet season with lower power costs and a slow increase in enterprise operations. On the demand side, polysilicon enterprises are reducing production, with some scheduled to resume production in July; organic silicon enterprises have a strong willingness to cut production to support prices, but demand is weak; silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises purchase as needed, and downstream low - level inventory - building willingness is insufficient [1]. - **Polysilicon Supply and Demand**: On the supply side, polysilicon enterprises are reducing production, but some may have new capacity put into operation, with an expected slight increase in output to within 100,000 tons. On the demand side, the photovoltaic market is weak, with rising inventories of silicon wafers and polysilicon. Although the downstream silicon wafer prices have followed the increase in polysilicon price expectations, the terminal market remains weak due to the over - drawn demand in the first half of the year [1]. Investment Strategies - **Industrial Silicon**: Short - term trading is recommended as prices may continue to strengthen. Long - term attention should be paid to the actual production dynamics of silicon enterprises [1]. - **Polysilicon**: Short - term trading is also recommended, and continuous attention should be paid to the actual start - up of the industrial chain and the implementation of supply - side reform [1]. Other Information - Germany's industrial output in May increased by 1.2% month - on - month and 1% year - on - year, driven by the significant growth in the automotive industry. However, the construction industry output decreased by 3.9% month - on - month, and the energy industry output increased by 10.8% month - on - month. Excluding the construction and energy industries, industrial output increased by 1.4% month - on - month [1].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The fundamentals of international crude oil are better than those of PTA, with effective support from rigid demand. PX has a solid bottom support due to its low inventory, but its future profitability depends on unexpected factors. PTA is expected to increase in supply, with a weakening market sentiment and a difficult - to - change situation of near - strong and far - weak. The polyester industry chain is driven by fundamentals, with weakening supply - demand expectations leading to price drops. PTA has some support when polyester does not significantly reduce production, but may become relatively weak if polyester production cuts expand. The profit distribution of the industrial chain is tilted towards raw materials. Polyester bottle - chip supply is expected to be tight, and the market has increased buying enthusiasm. The polyester industry chain is expected to see PX, PTA, and PR oscillate, following cost fluctuations [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Information - **Upstream**: On July 9, 2025, the futures settlement price of WTI crude oil was $68.38 per barrel, up 0.07%; Brent crude oil was $70.19 per barrel, up 0.06%; the spot price of naphtha (CFR Japan) was $598.25 per ton, up 2.00%; the spot price of xylene (isomeric grade, FOB Korea) was $724.00 per ton, up 0.63%; the spot price of PX (CFR China Main Port) was $850.00 per ton, up 0.32% [1] - **PTA**: The closing price of CZCE TA's main contract was 4,718 yuan per ton, up 0.17%; the settlement price was 4,714 yuan per ton, up 0.08%. The closing price of the near - month contract was 4,762 yuan per ton, down 0.33%; the settlement price was 4,770 yuan per ton, down 0.33%. The domestic spot price of PTA was 4,748 yuan per ton, down 1.04%; the CCFEI price index of domestic PTA was 4,755 yuan per ton, down 1.04%; the CCFEI price index of foreign PTA was $638.00 per ton, up 0.47%. The near - far month spread was 56 yuan per ton, down 20 yuan; the basis was 37 yuan per ton, down 58 yuan [1] - **PX**: The closing price of CZCE PX's main contract was 6,724 yuan per ton, up 0.42%; the settlement price was 6,716 yuan per ton, up 0.30%. The closing price of the near - month contract was 6,890 yuan per ton, up 0.32%; the settlement price was 6,890 yuan per ton, up 0.32%. The domestic spot price of PX was 6,736 yuan per ton, unchanged; the spot price of PX (CFR China Taiwan) was $850.00 per ton, up 0.24%; the spot price of PX (FOB Korea) was $825.00 per ton, up 0.24%. The PXN spread was $251.75 per ton, down 3.48%; the PX - MX spread was $126.00 per ton, down 1.43%; the basis was 12 yuan per ton, down 28 yuan [1] - **PR**: The closing price of CZCE PR's main contract was 5,880 yuan per ton, up 0.24%; the settlement price was 5,874 yuan per ton, up 0.07%. The closing price of the near - month contract was 5,920 yuan per ton, down 0.03%; the settlement price was 5,920 yuan per ton, down 0.03%. The market price of polyester bottle - chip in the East China market was 5,945 yuan per ton, unchanged; in the South China market, it was 6,000 yuan per ton, unchanged. The basis in the East China market was 65 yuan per ton, down 14 yuan; in the South China market, it was 120 yuan per ton, down 14 yuan [1] - **Downstream**: On July 9, 2025, the CCFEI price index of polyester DTY was 8,700 yuan per ton, down 0.57%; the CCFEI price index of polyester POY was 7,150 yuan per ton, unchanged; the CCFEI price index of polyester FDY68D was 7,000 yuan per ton, unchanged; the CCFEI price index of polyester FDY150D was 7,000 yuan per ton, unchanged; the CCFEI price index of polyester staple fiber was 6,680 yuan per ton, down 0.30%; the CCFEI price index of polyester chip was 5,825 yuan per ton, unchanged; the CCFEI price index of bottle - grade chip was 5,945 yuan per ton, unchanged [2] Operating Conditions - The operating rate of PX in the polyester industrial chain was 78.98%, unchanged; the PTA industrial chain load rate of PTA factories was 80.59%, unchanged; the PTA industrial chain load rate of polyester factories was 86.87%, down 0.43%; the PTA industrial chain load rate of bottle - chip factories was not available, compared with 71.93% previously; the PTA industrial chain load rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms was 61.22%, unchanged [1] Production and Sales - On July 9, 2025, the sales rate of polyester filament was 43.00%, up 9.00%; the sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 61.00%, up 16.00%; the sales rate of polyester chip was 49.00%, up 1.00% [1] Device Information - Dongying United's 2.5 - million - ton PTA device was under maintenance from June 28 for 40 - 45 days; Yisheng New Materials' 3.3 - million - ton PTA device reduced its load by about 50% around June 15 and has now returned to normal; Yisheng Hainan's 2 - million - ton PTA device is expected to undergo technical transformation for 3 months starting from August 1 [2] Important Information - OPEC+ actual production increase was weaker than policy expectations, EIA lowered the US crude oil production forecast, and the reduction of US API crude oil inventory supported oil prices. PTA will put into operation new devices in the third quarter, which is misaligned with PX in time. PX inventory is at a historical low, and its bottom support is strong. The downstream polyester factories have further reduced production, and the PTA supply is expected to increase, with a weakening market sentiment. The absolute value of PTA inventory is decreasing, but the relative value is at a five - year high. The polyester factories' actual maintenance in July led to a significant decrease in operation compared to June. The polyester industrial chain is driven by fundamentals, and the weakening supply - demand expectations led to price drops [2] Trading Strategy - PTA is weakly consolidating, with the TA2509 contract closing at 4,718 yuan per ton (up 0.17%), and the daily trading volume of 867,400 lots; PX price is consolidating, with the PX2509 contract closing at 6,724 yuan per ton (up 0.42%), and the daily trading volume of 177,100 lots; PR follows cost fluctuations, with the 2509 contract closing at 5,880 yuan per ton (up 0.17%), and the daily trading volume of 41,600 lots. It is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will oscillate [2]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report The delay in the expected timing of the Fed's interest rate cuts, the easing of geopolitical risks, the expected expansion of the US fiscal deficit, and the continuous gold purchases by central banks around the world may cause precious metal prices to weaken first and then strengthen. It is recommended that investors mainly lay out long positions on dips. [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Global Central Bank Policies and Economic Data - The US Senate's "Great Beauty" bill was passed, raising the debt ceiling to $5 trillion, and the fiscal deficit may expand by over $3 trillion. The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in July is almost zero, but the expected timing of interest rate cuts remains in September/October/December. [3] - The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points in June, lowering the deposit mechanism rate to 2%. The market expects the European Central Bank to cut interest rates 1 - 2 times by the end of 2025. [3] - The Bank of England cut the key interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.25% in May. The market expects the Bank of England to cut interest rates 2 - 3 times by the end of 2025.
