1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - After the positive effects of tariff negotiations are digested by the market, the black - series products still face pressure from weak fundamentals. Steel will enter the consumption off - season, with prices expected to fluctuate within a narrow range. Steel mills' profits are acceptable, supporting high - level operation of hot metal production, so the rigid demand for coke is strong. It is expected that the first round of coke price cuts will likely be implemented. Coke supply tends to be loose, and its futures price is expected to fluctuate. For coking coal, the overall production of main - producing area mines is normal with sufficient supply. The coking coal spot market is running weakly, and the futures market is also expected to fluctuate [6]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on industry investment rating 2. Core Views - For lead, due to unresolved raw material shortages and some secondary lead smelters reducing production, with demand in the off - season, cost support and weak demand are in a tug - of - war. Short - term lead prices are expected to be in wide - range consolidation, and macro uncertainties should be continuously monitored [1] - For zinc, with a stable and positive macro sentiment but weak fundamentals, short - term zinc prices are expected to be in wide - range consolidation. In the medium to long term, TC has room to rise, and the center of zinc prices may shift down. A strategy of shorting on rebounds is recommended, and macro sentiment disturbances should be continuously monitored [1] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Lead - **Price and Market Data**: SMM1 lead ingot average price remained flat at 16,750 yuan/ton, and the Shanghai lead futures main contract closed 0.21% lower at 16,935 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the active futures contract increased by 21.04% to 32,590 lots, and the open interest increased by 0.75% to 30,725 lots. The LME 3 - month lead futures closed at 1,996.50 dollars/ton, up 0.38%. The Shanghai - London lead price ratio decreased by 0.58% to 8.48 [1] - **Industry News**: A small and medium - sized secondary lead smelter in Southwest China plans to resume production in late May after years of shutdown. A small secondary lead smelter in Central China postponed its resumption due to market observation and internal factors [1] - **Fundamentals**: Primary lead production was stable with a slight increase. In secondary lead, waste lead - acid battery prices rose, and recyclers had limited supplies. Some smelters cut or stopped production due to cost - price inversion, and the operating rate declined significantly. Demand was in the off - season, and downstream purchasing was weak [1] Zinc - **Price and Market Data**: SMM1 zinc ingot average price rose 0.84% to 22,770 yuan/ton, and the Shanghai zinc futures main contract closed 1.72% higher at 22,710 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the active futures contract increased by 28.46% to 219,108 lots, and the open interest decreased by 6.33% to 104,941 lots. The LME 3 - month zinc futures closed at 2,765 dollars/ton, up 2.22%. The Shanghai - London zinc price ratio decreased by 0.48% to 8.21 [1] - **Industry News**: Longxing Mine under Zijin Mining in Russia's Tuva Republic faces financial difficulties due to sanctions and limited Sino - Russian financial cooperation. It produced about 71,300 metal tons of zinc concentrate and about 4,750 metal tons of lead concentrate in 2024. Zhongse Co., Ltd. owns 5 mining rights and 3 exploration rights, and its Baiyinnuoer and Aobao zinc mines had certain production volumes in 2024 [1] - **Fundamentals**: Zinc smelters had sufficient raw material stocks, and zinc concentrate processing fees continued to rise. Production restrictions due to raw material shortages were weakened, and production and profits improved. After the May Day holiday, some enterprises resumed production, but terminal demand did not improve. Different downstream sectors had mixed performance, with uncertainties in export orders for zinc oxide due to anti - dumping investigations [1]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - The positive impact of China-US trade negotiations continued to ferment, and the economic cooperation agreement signed between Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince further boosted market risk appetite, pushing up oil prices. After the negotiation, the market digested the impact of tariffs on the commodity market and repaired the demand expectation of PX. The unplanned loss increment of PX was significant, and combined with the planned device maintenance, the supply of Asian PX tightened significantly. However, the recent failure of some PTA device maintenance to materialize and the unexpectedly high load operation of downstream polyester made the demand expectation of PX also exceed market expectations, further consolidating PX demand. From the medium-term supply and demand pattern of PX, it will still be in the rhythm of destocking in the next few months. On May 14, the PX CFR China price was $870 per ton. The general rise in the bulk chemical market, the low operation rate of PX was beneficial to the market, and individual buyers actively purchased. Both cost and supply supported the upward movement of PX, and the price recovery was obvious [2]. - The low operation rate of PX was beneficial to the market, PTA destocked, the spot basis strengthened, new downstream polyester production capacity was put into operation, and the rigid demand was good, so the PTA market rose. The new polyester production capacity operated stably and maintained a high operation rate, and had a good rigid demand for PTA. In the short term, the PTA spot price mainly followed the cost side. After the inventory of polyester factories was reduced at the end of last month, the operation load of polyester filament was basically stable at present, but the new production devices in the market needed to be followed up. Coupled with the inventory accumulation of most factories during the festival, the subsequent market supply might gradually become abundant. The operation of terminal looms was slowly recovering, and the downstream weaving factories had a low willingness to stock up in early May. It was expected that the downstream concentrated procurement cycle would be in the middle of this month. In general, there were still many PTA device maintenance, while the downstream polyester maintained a high operation rate. It was estimated that PTA would destock from May to June, the price center would fluctuate around the cost, and the short-term price would run strongly [2]. - The mainstream negotiation price of polyester bottle chips in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets was 6,160 - 6,300 yuan per ton, up 200 yuan per ton from the previous trading day. The prices of polyester raw materials and bottle chip futures fluctuated strongly. The supply side of bottle chips raised the quotation, but the downstream terminals had no chasing sentiment, and the market trading was cautious. Recently, the operation rate of the bottle chip industry was at a relatively high level within the year, and the market supply might gradually become abundant. The downstream terminals mainly consumed the previously stocked goods, and the purchasing enthusiasm was not high [2]. - The improvement of macro - sentiment drove the price recovery. The TA2509 contract closed at 4,874 yuan per ton (up 2.87%), with an intraday trading volume of 1.92 million lots; due to the reduction in supply and the push of cost, the 2509 contract closed at 6,880 yuan per ton (up 2.96%), with an intraday trading volume of 43,460 lots; PR followed the cost, and the 2507 contract closed at 6,200 yuan per ton (up 3.23%), with an intraday trading volume of 79,600 lots. In the overnight crude oil market, the unexpected increase in US crude oil inventories last week and the accelerated increase in crude oil supply by OPEC and its减产 allies triggered investors' concerns about oversupply, and international oil prices fell for the first time in five trading days. The effect of sentiment was diminishing at the margin. It was expected that PX, PTA, and PR would fluctuate [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The silicon market has a situation of strong supply and weak demand, with high inventory pressure in the industry. The short - term trend of industrial silicon is expected to remain weak, with an operating range of 8,000 - 10,000 yuan/ton. For investment, it is recommended to short on rebounds. For polysilicon, the price fluctuates more sharply in the short - term, with a stable - to - rising trend, affected by factors such as delivery and supply - side reform news [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Industrial Silicon - **Price Information**: The average price of non - oxygenated 553 (East China) remained flat at 9,000 yuan/ton, and the 421 (East China) remained flat at 10,000 yuan/ton. The futures main contract closing price rose 3.16% to 8,490 yuan/ton, and the basis (East China 553 - futures main) decreased by 260 yuan/ton to 510 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply**: In April, due to production cuts by some silicon enterprises in Xinjiang, the overall industrial silicon output decreased to about 300,000 tons. In May, affected by the resumption of production in the southwest production area during the flat - water period and the ramping up of some new production capacities, the output is expected to increase steadily, but the increase is limited due to weak silicon prices [1]. - **Demand**: Polysilicon enterprises maintain production cuts, and the resumption of production may be postponed. The organic silicon industry has a strong willingness to cut production to support prices, but demand is weak, and the actual transaction price has declined. Domestic monomer enterprises' operating rates are expected to drop below 55% in May, reducing the demand for industrial silicon. Silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises purchase on demand, and the downstream's willingness to stock up at low levels is insufficient [1]. Polysilicon - **Price Information**: N - type dense material dropped 1.32% to 37.5 yuan/kg, polysilicon re - feeding material dropped 1.41% to 35 yuan/kg, polysilicon dense material dropped 1.45% to 34 yuan/kg, polysilicon cauliflower material dropped 1.59% to 31 yuan/kg, and the futures main contract closing price rose 0.39% to 38,420 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply**: Silicon material enterprises maintain production cuts, and some silicon material factories may have new production capacity put into operation. The output is expected to remain within 100,000 tons [1]. - **Demand**: The strong - installation period is basically over, the photovoltaic market is weak, the inventory of silicon wafers and silicon materials has increased, the prices of silicon wafers, battery cells, and components have continued to decline, market demand has slowed down, and some component delivery prices are close to new lows, with weak market transactions [1].
