Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoint - The current downward space for urea is limited, and it is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips for the 01 contract. The reasons are that from a valuation perspective, urea has fallen to a certain level of cost - effectiveness with relatively low upstream profits; from a driving perspective, there are two potential upward drivers: expected supply - side renovation of old devices (about 20% of urea devices are over 20 years old and the current comprehensive operating rate is close to 80% with limited idle capacity) and expected improvement in demand - side exports (optimistic about urea exports from September to October due to the easing of China - India relations) [1] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Urea Futures Price - On September 28, UR01 closed at 1664 yuan/ton, down 5 yuan or 0.30% from September 26; UR05 closed at 1715 yuan/ton, down 5 yuan or 0.29%; UR09 closed at 1735 yuan/ton, down 5 yuan or 0.29% [1] Domestic Spot Price (Small - Granule) - On September 28, prices in Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan remained unchanged at 1600 yuan/ton, 1490 yuan/ton, and 1610 yuan/ton respectively; prices in Hebei were 1640 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan or 0.61%; prices in Northeast China were 1650 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan or 0.60%; prices in Jiangsu remained at 1600 yuan/ton [1] Basis and Spread - On September 28, the basis of Shandong spot - UR was - 115 yuan/ton, up 5 yuan from September 26; the spread of 01 - 05 was - 51 yuan/ton, unchanged [1] Upstream Cost - On September 28, the anthracite prices in Henan and Shanxi remained unchanged at 1000 yuan/ton and 880 yuan/ton respectively [1] Downstream Price - On September 28, the prices of compound fertilizer (45%S) in Shandong and Henan remained at 2930 yuan/ton and 2520 yuan/ton respectively; the prices of melamine in Shandong and Jiangsu remained at 5100 yuan/ton and 5200 yuan/ton respectively [1] Important Information - On the previous trading day, the opening price of the main urea futures contract 2601 was 1666 yuan/ton, the highest price was 1668 yuan/ton, the lowest price was 1639 yuan/ton, the closing price was 1664 yuan/ton, and the settlement price was 1657 yuan/ton [1] Trading Strategy - Pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips for the 01 contract [1]

Report Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core View - Although the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut in October has decreased and the number of expected rate cuts in 2026 has been reduced from 3 to 2 due to the robust performance of multiple US economic and employment data and Fed Chairman Powell's statement on balancing employment and inflation, the expected expansion of fiscal deficits in many countries globally, geopolitical risks such as the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine conflicts, and the continuous gold purchases by central banks of many countries may support precious metal prices in the medium and long term [1].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply pressure of urea continues to increase, and the domestic supply pressure cannot be resolved by domestic demand alone, leading to a weak and volatile spot market [1]. - It is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips for the 01 contract. Currently, urea has fallen to a certain level of cost - effectiveness, with upstream profits at a relatively low level and a relatively cheap valuation. There are two potential upward drivers for urea prices: the expected renovation of old - fashioned production facilities (old - fashioned facilities over 20 years old account for about 20% of the total, and the current comprehensive operating rate is close to 80% with limited idle capacity), and the expected improvement in exports (especially in September - October under the easing of Sino - Indian relations). The space for further decline in urea prices is relatively limited [1]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Price Changes - **Futures Prices**: On September 26, compared with September 25, UR01 in Shandong decreased by 5 yuan/ton (-0.30%), in Shanxi it remained unchanged, UR05 decreased by 7 yuan/ton (-0.41%), and UR09 decreased by 7 yuan/ton (-0.40%) [1]. - **Spot Prices**: In Henan, Hebei, and Northeast China, domestic small - particle urea spot prices remained unchanged.

On the supply side, nickel ore prices were flat, last week's nickel ore arrivals decreased, and port inventories tightened. On the demand side, demand for alloys and electrolytic nickel was stable. Considering that inventory pressure exists and the fundamentals are weak, nickel prices are expected to fluctuate at a low level. The trading strategy is to gradually take profit on short positions [2] Stainless Steel - On September 26, the stainless steel main contract fluctuated downward, spot market trading was weak, and the basis premium narrowed. On the supply side, stainless steel production schedules in September increased. On the demand side, terminal demand was weak. Cost - end prices of high - nickel pig iron and high - carbon ferrochrome were flat. With relatively loose fundamentals but cost - end support and limited inventory pressure, prices are expected to fluctuate within a range. The trading strategy is to suggest waiting and watching [2]

The cost - end oil market rebounded slightly, driving up PX cost momentum. However, there are still concerns about the domestic PX fundamentals, and the monthly spread is small [2] - The increase in PX supply due to short - process capacity increase and postponed maintenance is obvious, while the demand for PX has decreased more than expected due to the delay of new PTA plant commissioning and multiple PTA maintenance. The PX profit will remain low in the short term [2] - The cost support for PTA has recovered slightly. The typhoon has affected the operation of a PTA plant in Zhuhai, which is temporarily beneficial to the PTA market. But the end - of - month shipment pressure of production enterprises is large, and the polyester product sales are flat [2] - The polyester bottle - chip market has a warm - oscillating trend in terms of raw materials and futures. The supply - side quotation has risen, but the downstream terminal trading has weakened, and the trading atmosphere is light. Some bottle - chip plants have shut down briefly due to the typhoon, with limited impact on market supply [2] Production and Sales and Operating Rates - On September 24, 2025, the operating rate of the PX in the polyester industry chain was 85.57%, unchanged; the PTA plant load rate was 78.12%, down 1.26 percentage points; the polyester plant load rate was 87.73%, down 1.27 percentage points [1] - The sales rate of polyester filament was 80.65%, up 41.74 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 67.04%, up 18.96 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester chips was 143.48%, up 85.45 percentage points [1]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - For industrial silicon, due to potential disturbances on the supply - side, the industrial silicon futures market has strengthened again. Considering that the factors of sentiment and supply disturbances have not been completely eliminated, the silicon price is expected to remain at a high level in the short term. The supply is expected to increase steadily, while the demand shows different trends in different sectors. The overall low - level inventory - building willingness of downstream industries is insufficient [1]. - For polysilicon, the supply - side disturbances are still fluctuating, and the polysilicon price is in a high - level consolidation state. Given the high raw material inventory of downstream industries, it is difficult to have a concentrated restocking in the short term, and the pressure to further raise the spot price is relatively large, which may suppress the futures market [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Industrial Silicon - **Price Changes**: The average price of non - oxygenated 553 (East China) increased by 1.09% to 9,300 yuan/ton, and the average price of 421 (East China) remained flat at 9,700 yuan/ton. The closing price of the futures main contract rose 0.39% to 9,055 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply and Demand**: On the supply side, some previously shut - down silicon plants in Xinjiang have resumed production, and the production in the southwest region has increased due to the low - cost electricity in the wet season. On the demand side, polysilicon enterprises are still reducing production, but some silicon material plants plan to resume production, bringing some incremental demand; an organic silicon plant has stopped production for rectification due to an accident, but the supply pressure has rebounded recently; silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises purchase as needed, and the downstream has insufficient willingness to stock up at low levels [1]. - **Investment Strategy**: Adopt range trading and continue to hold out - of - the - money put options. Continuously monitor industrial policy changes and silicon enterprise production dynamics [1]. Polysilicon - **Price Changes**: N - type dense material rose 0.10% to 51.05 yuan/kg, N - type re - feeding material rose 0.10% to 52.55 yuan/kg, N - type mixed material remained flat at 50 yuan/kg, N - type granular silicon rose 2.02% to 50.5 yuan/kg, and the closing price of the futures main contract fell 0.03% to 51,365 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply and Demand**: On the supply side, silicon material enterprises are still reducing production, but some may have new capacity put into operation, with an expected slight increase in production to about 130,000 tons in August. On the demand side, the trading volume in the polysilicon market has increased significantly, and the inventory has decreased significantly. However, the terminal demand pressure is large, and the component price increase is restricted, which may lead to reverse price transmission in the industrial chain [1]. - **Investment Strategy**: Before the implementation of supply - side reform policies, try to go long on dips with a light position. Continuously monitor the implementation of industrial policies and the evolution of macro - sentiment [1]. Other Information - A project of Hubei Hanshen Material Technology Co., Ltd. with an annual output of 10,000 tons of optical adhesives has been filed for construction, with a total investment of 55 million yuan and planned to start in September [1]. - China will provide 7,000 MW of solar modules to Iran, and the project funds will be borne by the Iranian National Development Fund. If the plan progresses as scheduled, it will help Iran alleviate the power shortage problem [1].
