1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For lead, the price has been rising due to support from raw materials and reduced production in the secondary lead sector, but the downstream market has not entered the peak season yet, and there is a risk of inventory accumulation, so the upward momentum of the lead price is limited, and attention should be paid to the pressure around 17,500 yuan/ton [1] - For zinc, the short - term zinc price is expected to fluctuate strongly in a narrow range, but the rebound space may be limited. Attention should be paid to the trading opportunities after the elimination of favorable factors [1] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Lead Price and Spread - The average price of SMM1 lead ingots increased by 0.44% compared with the previous day, and the closing price of the main contract of Shanghai lead futures rose by 0.35% compared with the previous day. The basis of Shanghai lead was - 225 yuan/ton, an increase of 15 yuan/ton [1] - The spread between different contracts of Shanghai lead futures showed various changes, such as the spread between the near - month and the first - continuous contract being - 35 yuan/ton, a decrease of 10 yuan/ton [1] Trading Volume and Open Interest - The trading volume of the active futures contract was 52,643 lots, an increase of 45.33%, and the open interest was 51,182 lots, an increase of 237.77%. The trading - to - open - interest ratio was 1.03, a decrease of 56.97% [1] Inventory - The LME inventory remained unchanged at 273,250 tons, and the Shanghai lead warehouse receipt inventory increased by 1.37% to 45,278 tons. As of June 26, the total inventory of SMM lead ingots in five regions was 56,000 tons, remaining unchanged compared with June 19 and increasing by more than 300 tons compared with June 23 [1] Fundamental Information - There is no expected increase in lead concentrate imports, and the processing fee is likely to rise. The operation of primary lead is stable with a slight increase. For secondary lead, the price of waste lead - acid batteries has been rising, and the supply of recyclers is limited. Some secondary lead smelters have reduced or suspended production due to raw material shortages or cost inversion, and the finished product inventory of secondary lead is increasing [1] - The demand side is gradually shifting from the off - season to the peak season, and downstream procurement is expected to improve, which may reduce the drag on the lead price [1] Zinc Price and Spread - The average price of SMM1 zinc ingots increased by 0.27% compared with the previous day, and the closing price of the main contract of Shanghai zinc futures rose by 0.88% compared with the previous day. The basis of Shanghai zinc was - 50 yuan/ton, a decrease of 135 yuan/ton [1] - The spreads between different contracts of Shanghai zinc futures and the spreads in different regions showed various changes, such as the spread between the near - month and the first - continuous contract being 125 yuan/ton, a decrease of 5 yuan/ton [1] Trading Volume and Open Interest - The trading volume of the active futures contract was 168,109 lots, an increase of 6.04%, and the open interest was 135,638 lots, an increase of 4.45%.

As of June 26, the total inventory of SMM zinc ingots in seven regions was 79,500 tons, a decrease of 0.01 tons compared with June 19 and an increase of 0.17 tons compared with June 23 [1] Fundamental Information - Zinc smelters have sufficient raw material reserves, and the zinc concentrate processing fee has continued to rise. The raw material shortage has less impact on smelter production, and the cost support has weakened. The downstream maintains rigid demand for zinc ingots [1] - Recently, the downstream procurement sentiment has improved after the zinc price decline, and the macro - sentiment is positive. The strike at Nexa's Cajamarquilla zinc smelter has increased market concerns about future supply, pushing up the zinc price [1]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report [1] 2. Core View of the Report - After the cease - fire agreement, market risk - aversion sentiment decreased, the geopolitical premium was squeezed out, and methanol prices回调. Although the geopolitical situation may be volatile, methanol will gradually return to its fundamentals.

Considering the impact on Iranian methanol supply, imports in July may decrease. With the support of low port inventories, the methanol price correction is expected to be limited. The 09 contract is expected to operate in the range of 2300 - 2500 yuan/ton [1] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures and Spot Prices and Basis - **Methanol Futures Prices**: MA01 closed at 2433 yuan/ton, up 16 yuan/ton (0.66%); MA05 closed at 2336 yuan/ton, up 8 yuan/ton (0.34%); MA09 closed at 2417 yuan/ton, up 26 yuan/ton (1.09%) [1] - **Methanol Spot Prices**: Prices in Shandong, Guangdong, Shaanxi, and Sichuan - Chongqing remained unchanged; the price in Hubei decreased by 45 yuan/ton (-1.89%), and the price in Inner Mongolia decreased by 10 yuan/ton (-0.50%); the price in Taicang increased by 120 yuan/ton (4.54%) [1] - **Basis**: The basis of Taicang spot - MA increased by 104 yuan/ton [1] 3.2 Raw Material Prices - **Coal Spot Prices**: The price of Ordos Q5500 and Yulin Q6000 remained unchanged, while the price of Datong Q5500 increased by 5 yuan/ton (1.03%) [1] - **Industrial Natural Gas Prices**: Prices in Hohhot and Chongqing remained unchanged [1] 3.3 Profit Situation - **Methanol Production Profit**: Coal - based methanol profit decreased by 6.3 yuan/ton (-1.26%); natural gas - based methanol profit remained unchanged [1] - **Downstream Profit of Methanol**: The profit of Northwest MTO increased by 27.6 yuan/ton (5.23%); the profit of East China MTO decreased by 202 yuan/ton (-15.16%); the profit of acetic acid decreased by 33.27 yuan/ton (-10.27%); the profit of MTBE decreased by 41 yuan/ton (-27.98%); the profit of formaldehyde remained unchanged [1] 3.4 Important Information - **Domestic Futures**: The main methanol contract MA2509 fluctuated within a range, opening at 2384 yuan/ton, closing at 2417 yuan/ton, up 29 yuan/ton, with a trading volume of 1620777 lots and an open interest of 857159, showing increased volume and decreased open interest [1] - **Foreign Information**: The reference negotiation price of non - Iranian methanol shipments arriving in the far - future is 280 - 290 US dollars/ton. There are few fixed - price offers. The reference negotiation for far - future non - Iranian shipments is at +1.8 - 2%, and most of the formula - price negotiations this week are for the south. The far - future non - Iranian shipments were traded at +2 - 2.1%. In other Middle - East regions, the intended shipping price of a few far - future shipments is at +1.9%, but market participants are mostly on the sidelines, waiting for the resumption of a methanol plant in a Middle - East country [1]

工业硅、多晶硅日评:供给端扰动,价格低位反弹-20250627
Hong Yuan Qi Huo· 2025-06-27 01:41
Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints - The silicon market is experiencing weak supply and demand, and the industry still faces high inventory pressure. Although the silicon price rebounded from a low level due to supply - side disturbances, the medium - and long - term supply - demand contradiction has not been substantially alleviated, and the rebound space is expected to be limited. For industrial silicon, if the production cut is less than expected, short positions can be considered. For polysilicon, due to strong uncertainty in terminal installation and over - capacity issues that are difficult to resolve in the short term, the price is unlikely to have an upward trend in the short term, and shorting on rebounds is recommended for the medium - and long - term [1]. Summaries by Related Content Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Price Changes - The average price of industrial silicon non - oxygenated 553 (East China) remained unchanged at 8,100 yuan/ton, and the average price of 421 (East China) remained unchanged at 8,700 yuan/ton. The closing price of the futures main contract rose 2.18% to 7,720 yuan/ton. Among different regions, most prices remained stable, while the average price of oxygenated 553 in some regions had small increases. For polysilicon, the prices of N - type dense material, polycrystalline secondary material, dense material, and cauliflower material remained unchanged, and the closing price of the futures main contract rose 3.56% to 31,715 yuan/ton [1]. Inventory Information - On June 26, the total social inventory of industrial silicon in major regions was 542,000 tons, a decrease of 17,000 tons compared with last week. Among them, the inventory in ordinary social warehouses was 128,000 tons, a decrease of 3,000 tons compared with last week, and the inventory in social delivery warehouses (including non - registered warehouse receipts and spot parts) was 414,000 tons, a decrease of 14,000 tons compared with last week [1]. Industry News - SK plans to sell its silicon - based anode factory to its US partner Group 14, selling its 75% stake in the joint - venture SK Materials Group 14 to Group 14 Technologies through in - kind payment. The joint - venture factory in South Korea is in the trial - production stage [1]. - On the evening of June 24, 2025, Jingshan Light Machinery announced that its wholly - owned subsidiary Suzhou Shengcheng Photovoltaic Equipment Co., Ltd. would invest 150 million yuan in cash in Jiangsu Runyang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. [1]. Supply and Demand Analysis - **Industrial Silicon**: On the supply side, the operation of silicon enterprises in the north has changed little, and the south - west production area is about to enter the wet season with lower power costs, so the enterprise operation is steadily increasing. On the demand side, polysilicon enterprises are continuing to cut production, and the resumption of production may be postponed; the organic silicon industry has a strong willingness to cut production to support prices, but the demand is weak, and the actual transaction price has declined. Domestic monomer enterprises' operation shows mixed changes, with the overall operation decreasing, and the demand for industrial silicon is further weakened. Silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises purchase as needed, and the downstream has insufficient willingness to stock up at low levels [1]. - **Polysilicon**: On the supply side, silicon material enterprises are maintaining production cuts, and some silicon material factories may have new capacity put into operation. After offsetting, the output is expected to increase slightly, with the overall output remaining within 100,000 tons. On the demand side, the photovoltaic market is generally weak, the inventories of silicon wafers and silicon materials are rising, the prices of silicon wafers, battery cells, and components are continuously falling, the market demand is slowing down, and the transactions are weak [1].
