Report Industry Investment Rating - The report maintains a cautious and optimistic stance on the short - term rise of gold [6] Core View of the Report - The report analyzes the gold market from multiple aspects including price trends, inflation, interest rates, supply - demand, and the US economy. It concludes that while the gold market has an upward impetus due to the ongoing Israel - Iran conflict and the continuous presence of its hedging property, factors such as the continuous decline of US inflation, the delay of the Fed's interest rate cut, and the stabilization of the US dollar index suppress the rise of gold. Overall, the long - term upward view of gold remains unchanged [4][6] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Price Trends - Since 2025, the cumulative increases of the London Gold and Shanghai Gold indexes have been 28.44% and 26.07% respectively, and last week they decreased by 1.83% and 1.99% respectively [4][16] 2. Inflation - In June 2022, the CPI data reached a new high of 9.1% and then declined moderately. The PCE also peaked and declined in June 2022. Core CPI and core PCE showed a downward trend. Since February 2024, the CPI rebounded for the first time, and the decline rate of core inflation slowed down or even rebounded. In May 2025, the US CPI increased by 2.4% year - on - year, lower than the expected 2.5%, and the previous value was 2.3%. The core CPI was 2.8% year - on - year, with an expected 2.9% and a previous value of 2.8%. In April 2025, the core PCE price index increased by 2.5% year - on - year, in line with expectations and slower than the previous revised value of 2.7%. The PCE price index increased by 2.1% year - on - year, lower than the expected 2.2% and the previous value of 2.3% [4][19] 3. Interest Rates - From mid - to late October 2023, the interest rate of US medium - term treasury bonds fluctuated downward until January 2025. Since February 2024, the US treasury bond interest rate has fluctuated and rebounded, then fluctuated and declined near last year's high, and recently fluctuated widely near the 2024 low [4][22] 4. Supply - Demand - When the gold supply - demand is in a tight balance, it is conducive to the rise of the gold price, but when it is in a weak balance, it has little impact on the gold price. In 2024, the global gold supply - demand looseness decreased, mainly due to a large increase in investment demand. In 2024, the domestic gold supply increased slightly year - on - year, and the demand decreased significantly year - on - year, but the domestic gold supply - demand was still in a tight balance, mainly due to a large increase in gold bars and coins. In the first quarter of 2025, investment demand increased significantly [4][34] 5. US Economy - In May 2025, the number of new jobs in the US was 139,000, higher than the market expectation of 130,000. The data from January to April was revised downward. In May 2025, the average hourly wage of US non - farm employees increased by 0.4% compared with the previous value of 0.3%, and the unemployment rate remained at 4.2%. The non - farm employment data in May 2025 continued to be better than expected. The US GDP in the first quarter of 2025 increased by 2.06% year - on - year, a decrease of 0.47%. The ISM manufacturing PMI in May 2025 was 48.5, declining for four consecutive months, and the non - manufacturing PMI was 49.9, dropping significantly again, perhaps affected by reciprocal tariffs [4][30] 6. Strategy and Outlook - The gold futures main contract continued its weak adjustment last Friday. The Israel - Iran conflict remained moderate. As long as the conflict persists, the hedging property of gold remains. Therefore, the report maintains a cautious and optimistic stance on the short - term rise of gold, and investors should pay attention to the pressure at the previous high. However, the continuous decline of US inflation, the delay of the Fed's interest rate cut, and the stabilization of the US dollar index suppress the rise of gold. The current main contradiction in the gold market is the hedging function of gold. The long - term upward view of gold remains unchanged. Technically, the support level for Shanghai Gold is 775 - 780 yuan. It is recommended to hold existing long positions for observation, and those with empty positions are advised to go long. For options, it is recommended to mainly buy call options [6] 7. Central Bank Gold Transactions - In the first quarter of 2025, the global central bank's gold purchase volume decreased compared with the fourth quarter of last year but still had a net purchase of 243.67 tons. From November 2022 to April 2024, the People's Bank of China continuously purchased gold. After six consecutive months without gold purchases, it continuously purchased gold from November 2024 to April 2025, with a total purchase of 44.16 tons since 2024. In 2023, it purchased 224.88 tons. In the first quarter of 2025, the central bank purchased 12.75 tons, 2.18 tons in April, and 1.87 tons in May [37] 8. ETF Demand - In 2023, the gold holding of ETFs decreased by 113.69 tons. In 2024, it decreased by 28.46 tons. As of June 20, last week, the gold ETFs significantly increased their holdings by 11.74 tons, and the gold holding in 2025 increased by 116.04 tons [40] 9. Exchange Rates and Dollar Index - The report does not provide specific analysis conclusions on exchange rates and the dollar index, only presenting relevant data charts 10. Gold Price Spread and Ratio - Last week, the spread between the domestic and foreign gold markets was at a normal level. The report also presented charts of the gold - silver ratio and the gold - oil ratio but did not provide specific analysis conclusions [62]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Macro**: The Federal Reserve kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% in June, with reduced but still high uncertainty. It lowered the 2025 GDP forecast to 1.4% and raised the inflation expectation to 3%. In May, China's industrial added - value and retail sales increased by 5.8% and 6.4% respectively. The international crude oil market is re - evaluating prices due to the tense Middle - East situation [7]. - **Supply**: In 2025, the RKAB approval provides sufficient raw materials for smelters, but policy risks remain. In May, China's ferronickel production increased slightly, and Indonesia's remained high. Sulfuric acid nickel enterprises' operating rate decreased, and production in May decreased month - on - month. In May 2025, China's refined nickel production was 35,995 tons, a slight decrease [7]. - **Demand**: In May, stainless steel demand was suppressed, and domestic stainless steel inventory exceeded 1 million tons.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week (June 13 - June 20, 2025), the spot price of industrial silicon started to stop falling and rise slightly, with the benchmark spot price reaching 7,635 yuan/ton on June 20, 2025, up 1.3% from 7,537 yuan/ton on June 13. In the futures market, the main contract of industrial silicon continued to rebound but did not break through last week's high, with the highest transaction price at 7,565 yuan/ton and the latest transaction price at 7,390 yuan/ton, a weekly increase of 1.51%. The main contract's open interest was about 305,500 lots, and trading volume increased[8]. - The supply of industrial silicon has increased. In the southwest region, some enterprises do not plan to start furnaces due to low market prices and high inventory, while a few enterprises with electricity subsidies have increased furnace starts. In the northwest region, the number of silicon furnaces has increased, mainly due to increased production by large enterprises. Overall, the total number of furnace starts has increased this week, and the market supply is sufficient, mainly in the northwest region. There is still pressure on the supply side, even though most 99 - grade silicon producers have shut down for maintenance[8]. - The demand for industrial silicon is weak. The photovoltaic industry association has reported "self - disciplined" production cuts, which is a significant negative for the end - market. Most polysilicon producers are operating at reduced loads, with mixed production schedules. The silicon powder market has few tenders, and the purchasing enthusiasm is low, so the industrial silicon price has limited room for increase. The aluminum alloy industry's demand for industrial silicon is average, and exports have decreased. In May 2025, China's industrial silicon exports were 55,600 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 8.02% and a year - on - year decrease of 22.47%. From January to May 2025, China's total industrial silicon exports were 272,300 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 10.31%[8]. - The overall production cost of industrial silicon is stable, and it is expected that the electricity cost in various regions will further decline in July. The spot profit is stable, and the futures profit has increased due to the rising futures price[8]. - This week, the standard warehouse receipt inventory was mostly in a destocking state. Silicon powder enterprises made small - scale stockpiling, but due to the rising futures price, some silicon powder factories reduced their demand. Due to the adjustment of the current spot - futures basis, there was a small release of 421 - grade warehouse receipts[8]. - Looking ahead, the overall production in the southwest region has slightly increased, downstream demand remains weak, and there is a supply - demand mismatch for different grades. It is expected that the price will still be more likely to fall than rise[8]. - The report suggests that investors should short the 2509 contract on rallies or sell out - of - the - money call options when volatility is low. Traders or upstream enterprises are advised to sell call options to protect their inventory[8]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Week - on - Week Views and Hot News - **Hot News**: The China Photovoltaic Industry Association is discussing "production cuts to maintain prices," with expected production cuts of 10% - 15% in the third quarter. Strict policies against "below - cost sales" and "substandard product sales" will be implemented. The National Development and Reform Commission's governance ideas for "involution - style competition" are in line with the current difficulties in the industrial silicon industry. There are rumors that Tongwei is promoting measures such as capacity acquisition and storage, and the government may introduce policies to re - position photovoltaics as energy products. In 2025, the US - China tariff war continued, and the National Energy Administration released the "2025 Energy Work Guidance Opinion"[7]. - **Week - on - Week Views**: As mentioned above, covering price trends, supply, demand, cost - profit, inventory, outlook, and trading strategies[8]. 2. Industry Structure - The industrial silicon industry chain includes raw materials such as petroleum coke, charcoal, and silicon ore, and downstream products such as organic silicon, polysilicon, and aluminum alloy, which are widely used in electronics, construction, and other industries[11]. 3. Spot and Futures Markets - Multiple charts show the spot prices of different grades of industrial silicon (such as 553 and 421) in different regions (e.g., Tianjin Port, Kunming Port), as well as the closing and settlement prices of continuous and active futures contracts[13][24][33]. 4. Inventory - Charts display the inventory of industrial silicon in the industry, factories, the market, and futures, with data sources from Baichuan Yingfu and the research institute[48][50]. 5. Cost and Profit - Charts show the comprehensive profit and cost of industrial silicon, electricity prices in major and non - major production areas, the prices of raw materials such as silicon ore, petroleum coke, and electrodes, and the cost and profit of polysilicon[57][61][93]. 6. Supply - Charts present the weekly and monthly production of industrial silicon, the operating rate, and monthly production capacity. There are also plans for new production capacity in multiple enterprises in Xinjiang, Yunnan, and Inner Mongolia, with a total planned new capacity of 3 million tons[110][114][117]. 7. Demand - Charts show the consumption breakdown and structure of industrial silicon, the production, price, inventory, and cost - profit of polysilicon, the price, production, cost, and profit of organic silicon, the production, inventory, and operating rate of aluminum alloy, and the production and price of solar cells[120][124][133]. 8. Import and Export - Charts display the import and export volumes of industrial silicon and polysilicon, with data from the General Administration of Customs[174][179].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current supply - demand fundamentals of the pig market have not improved substantially. Although the short - term price is supported by factors such as farmers' reduced sales and increased second - fattening, the overall supply is still loose due to weakened terminal consumption, group farms' weight reduction and increased supply, and active sales by social farms [7]. - The pig production capacity is sufficient. Although the number of breeding sows has declined slightly, it is still above the normal level, and the production efficiency has increased. If pork consumption does not grow significantly, the room for pig price increase before September 2025 may be limited [7]. - In the short term, the improvement of market sentiment supports the strengthening of the futures market. The resistance level of the main contract is around 14,000. For options, out - of - the - money call options can be sold [8]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The upstream situation shows that the escalating Middle - East situation boosts a significant rebound in oil prices. The actual production of OPEC+ is lower than its claimed output. The strong gold under currency depreciation and the complex geopolitical situation still support oil prices. - In terms of supply, after the tariff reduction, China is expected to actively replenish stocks. The market has been actively seeking third - party import substitutes for the US market gap, increasing potential supply. The domestic production volume has decreased marginally and is still lower than last year's level. The price of competing product LNG is basically the same as that of LPG, and the shipping freight has rebounded from a low level. - Regarding inventory, the inventory continues to decline. The port storage capacity utilization rate has dropped to a low level in recent years. The refinery storage capacity utilization rate is at the lowest level in the same period over the years, while the gas station storage capacity utilization rate is relatively high. The port inventory has decreased. - For demand, the macro - demand is weak. The combustion demand is in the off - season, gasoline consumption is at a four - year low, and although the catering consumption is okay, it will be affected by the new policy of banning public - funded eating and drinking in the coming months. The chemical demand has rebounded. The weekly capacity utilization rate of PDH continues to rebound but is still at the lowest level in the multi - year range, and the gross profit has declined again. The capacity utilization rate of alkylation has rebounded to a high level in recent years, but the gross profit has deteriorated. The capacity utilization rate of MTBE has rebounded, with a large loss. The "gas/oil" price ratio has dropped to a level close to that of the same period last year. - The strategy is that LPG is expected to mainly fluctuate in a wide range. Long positions should be held, with a support level of 4200. [5] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views - Upstream factors such as the Middle - East situation and OPEC+ production affect oil prices, which in turn influence LPG. - Supply is affected by tariff reduction, import substitution, and domestic production volume. - Inventory is decreasing across different sectors. - Demand has different trends in combustion and chemical aspects. - The recommended strategy is to hold long positions with a given support level. [5] 3.2 Periodic and Spot Market - The "gas/oil" price ratio of LPG has large fluctuations and seasonal patterns. The spot "gas/oil" price ratio has dropped. After the tariff reduction, inventory replenishment is expected, and the arrival situation later needs attention. - The LPG price is highly correlated with crude oil. The spot price has been fluctuating since Q4 2023 and recently declined weakly, with a smaller rebound than the futures price. - The basis has large fluctuations, with seasonality, regional differences, and a large discount for the expiration month of warehouse receipts. - The 3 - 4 month spread in Q1 this year turned into a back structure, and the 9 - 10 month spread has recently increased. - The price of LNG is basically the same as that of LPG, and the international frozen cargo price has rebounded slightly. [9][10][16][21][28] 3.3 Inventory - The overall inventory of LPG in China continues to decline. The port storage capacity utilization rate is at a low level in recent years, the refinery storage capacity utilization rate is at the lowest in the same period over the years, and the gas station storage capacity utilization rate is relatively high. The port inventory has decreased. - The warehouse receipts have increased significantly and are at a historical high. [32][44] 3.4 Supply End - The import and export volume of LPG in China is an important part of the supply. - The domestic production volume of LPG is lower than the same period in previous years and is expected to decline with the improvement of refinery device integration. - The shipping freight has rebounded from a low level, driven by the inventory replenishment demand in the shipping industry after the easing of the tariff war. - The import gross profit has its own characteristics and trends. [67][65] 3.5 Demand End - In 2024, the PDH capacity continued to grow at a high speed of 25%. Although PDH is in a loss state, the capacity expansion still drives a large increase in LPG demand. - The demand for gasoline addition is weak, and the household combustion demand is decreasing. The commercial combustion demand growth rate has declined and is expected to face pressure next year. The increasing penetration rate of new - energy vehicles accelerates the substitution of gasoline addition demand. - The capacity utilization rate of MTBE has rebounded to a high level, the alkylation capacity utilization rate is similar to previous years, and the PDH capacity utilization rate is at a multi - year low. - The profit of PDH is not good, which affects the operating rate. - The gasoline consumption is affected by new - energy vehicles, and the combustion demand of LPG is gradually shrinking. The catering demand has recovered strongly in recent years. [76][80][87][98][101]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market is optimistic about the increase in rubber production in 2025, but the rebound after the low - level of rubber prices is weak. It is recommended to pay attention to the low - level support, and aggressive investors can hold long positions. Also, pay attention to the arbitrage strategy of going long on br and short on ru [6]. - The macro - environment is complex, with intensified Middle - East geopolitical conflicts, domestic reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts, and the Fed's stance on interest rates. Trade negotiations between China and the US may be volatile. Real - estate data is poor, and the automobile market is highly competitive [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views - Macro: Middle - East geopolitical conflicts intensify. China cuts reserve requirement ratio and interest rates, while the Fed keeps rates unchanged with two expected cuts this year. Sino - US trade negotiations may be volatile. Real - estate data is worse than expected, and the automobile market is highly competitive [6]. - Supply: The market is optimistic about 2025 rubber production increase. The large - cycle production capacity inflection point has arrived, but production inertia remains. The warming of the equatorial central and eastern Pacific Ocean weakens negative factors [6]. - Inventory: Qingdao dry - rubber inventory has stopped accumulating at a low level and slightly decreased, possibly due to downstream restocking. Exchange ru and nr warehouse receipts are at low levels. Cis - polybutadiene rubber inventory has rebounded to a high since 2017, and Shandong semi - steel tire finished - product inventory is much higher than last year [6]. - Demand: The domestic passenger - car price war has intensified, raising concerns about inventory pressure and weak demand. Real - estate and infrastructure construction are saturated. Heavy - truck sales have marginally improved, with a 6% year - on - year increase in May and a 1% cumulative increase from January to May 2025. Construction machinery sales are low, and cement production has a deeper year - on - year negative growth as of May. Passenger - car sales are strong but may have over - consumed [6]. - Strategy: Pay attention to low - level support, aggressive investors hold long positions. Focus on the arbitrage of going long on br and short on ru [6]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Markets - Rubber prices rebounded and then declined, with some varieties having large declines. The upstream oil price rebounded, but the price of butadiene, the raw material for synthetic rubber, was weak. The absolute price of old whole - latex spot is lower than last year and near the median of recent years [8][12]. - The ru basis has strengthened marginally. The month - spread has also strengthened but remains in a contango structure, which is unfavorable for long positions. The Ru9 - 1 month - spread is around - 800 in contango, the Nr consecutive 1 - consecutive 3 month - spread is around 50 and continues to weaken, and the br consecutive 1 - consecutive 3 month - spread has reversed to around 120 and is weakening marginally [15][20]. - The spot whole - latex to 20 - grade rubber spread has fallen to a low level again, and the 20 - grade rubber has a high virtual - to - real ratio. Synthetic rubber Br has rebounded relative to natural rubber [25]. - Thai raw material prices have declined marginally, and the spread between latex and cup lump has increased. Currently, rubber is being tapped globally with normal weather conditions [29]. - Processing profits have declined again recently [36]. 3.3 Inventory End - Qingdao dry - rubber inventory decreased rapidly from August 2023 to mid - October 2024 to a low since 2017, and now the low - level accumulation has stopped with a slight decrease. Butadiene port inventory has rebounded [40][45]. - The ru delivery product inventory is at a low level; the nr warehouse receipts dropped rapidly from a 5 - year high to the median level after the third quarter and are now rebounding from an extremely low level [50][56]. - Cis - polybutadiene rubber factory and trader inventories have rebounded from low levels. Tire factory and downstream trade inventories are high [59][61]. 3.4 Supply End - According to ANRPC adjusted data, the cumulative natural rubber production of member countries from January to December 2024 decreased by less than 0.5% year - on - year. China's natural rubber production from January to December 2024 was 911,400 tons, a 10% increase from the previous 854,000 tons [64]. - In 2024, rubber imports were lower than previous years due to eudr diversion, overseas restocking, and reduced arbitrage demand. In 2025, the import data of natural and synthetic rubber increased significantly, with a 17% year - on - year increase in March and a 21% increase in the first three months [68]. - The large - cycle inflection point of supply - side production capacity has arrived, and the bottom support is becoming stronger. However, production is affected by weather, pests, and profit margins, and demand affected by macro and policies determines the upper limit. There are signs of aging rubber tree age structure in production areas, especially in Indonesia [80]. 3.5 Demand End - The full - steel tire operating rate has rebounded to the median of the multi - year range, exceeding last year's level, while the semi - steel tire operating rate has rebounded slightly lower than last year and is at a high in the multi - year range [87]. - As of May 2025, the cumulative year - on - year growth of tire outer - tube production is about 3% and is marginally declining, with a much slower growth rate than last year. The cumulative year - on - year growth of tire exports as of May is about 9%, performing relatively well but lower than last year [92]. - Heavy - truck sales have marginally improved, with a 6% year - on - year increase in May and a 1% cumulative increase from January to May 2025 [97]. - Domestic passenger - car sales (including exports) are strong due to policy incentives, domestic substitution, and overseas market expansion. However, the price war has intensified, and exports face challenges such as tariffs. The support from passenger cars may be limited due to the weak real - estate and infrastructure [101]. - Overseas automobile sales are generally average, with the US and Japan seeing rebounds, but the EU performing poorly. Trade wars have disrupted consumption patterns [105]. - Cement production had negative growth last year and has marginally improved this year, but the cumulative year - on - year negative growth has deepened as of May [111]. - Transportation investment is a key measure for stable growth but has limited effect due to infrastructure saturation. Excavator sales rebounded and then softened [115]. - Real - estate data from January to May 2025 has deteriorated, bringing pessimism. Given the long real - estate cycle and unfavorable population situation, a turnaround will take time [121]. - Road freight volume is stable but lower than in 2019, reflecting a decline in demand and substitution by railway and waterway transportation [124].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Soda Ash**: Last week, the operating rate and production of soda ash enterprises continued to rise, and the market production - sales rate increased month - on - month. However, the inventory continued to accumulate. The current supply - demand pattern of soda ash is weak, with no improvement in downstream demand, continuous increases in supply and inventory, and a gradual decline in spot prices. The subsequent pattern of increasing supply and weak demand will continue to suppress market confidence. Although the short - term futures price rebounded at a low level due to macro - disturbances, the rebound momentum is insufficient under the weak reality. It is recommended to trade with a short - bias on rebounds or sell out - of - the - money call options [8]. - **Glass**: Last week, due to one production line being shut down for water discharge and one for hot repair, and one previously ignited production line starting to produce glass, the weekly melting volume increased slightly, and the manufacturer's inventory increased slightly month - on - month. Currently, glass supply fluctuates within a narrow range at a low level. Entering the off - season of demand, downstream enterprises are cautious in purchasing, and manufacturers' inventory remains high. Enterprises reduce prices to promote sales. Short - term demand is seasonally weak, and high inventory puts pressure on the market. The futures valuation is low and maintains a low - level shock. Attention should be paid to the cold repair of production lines after losses deepen. It is recommended to refer to the 950 - 1050 range for short - term shock trading, sell on rebounds, or sell out - of - the - money call options [9]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The five major steel products continued to experience a slight reduction in inventory. Building materials' inventory reduction continued to slow down, while plates saw a slight reduction. Among them, the factory and social inventories of rebar and wire rod continued to decline slightly, the factory and social inventories of hot-rolled coil and cold-rolled coil turned to a slight reduction, and the factory and social inventories of medium and heavy plates both increased [7]. - The profit of blast furnace steel mills has recovered, with the operating rate and capacity utilization rate increasing month-on-month, and the daily average molten iron production increasing slightly. The operating rate of electric furnaces decreased due to losses. The output of the five major steel products increased month-on-month, with significant increases in the output of rebar and wire rod, and a slight month-on-month increase in the output of hot-rolled coil. Driven by profits, steel mills still lack the motivation to reduce production [7]. - The apparent demand of the five major steel products increased month-on-month. Among them, the decline in the apparent demand of rebar slowed down, and the apparent demand of hot-rolled coil increased significantly month-on-month. Currently, the impact of seasonal factors on demand still exists, and there is still marginal weakening pressure on demand [7]. - Recently, geopolitical issues have disrupted the international energy market, boosting coal prices and causing the prices of the black series to stop falling and fluctuate at low levels. In the industry, Tangshan recently received a production restriction notice, which will affect steel supply. However, since steel mills still have overall profits, the production reduction efforts of steel mills are limited, and the reduction in steel output is not obvious. As it enters the consumption off-season, the elasticity of terminal demand is insufficient, and the inventory reduction is gradually slowing down. Currently, there is no obvious contradiction between steel supply and demand, but consumption is marginally weakening, and the supply-demand contradiction is gradually accumulating. In the short term, the market will continue to fluctuate following macro news, but the demand outlook is expected to be weak, and steel prices will continue to fluctuate at low levels [7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Week - Weekly Viewpoints and Strategies - **Inventory**: The five major steel products continued to experience a slight reduction in inventory, with different trends for different varieties [7]. - **Supply**: The profit of blast furnace steel mills recovered, and the output of the five major steel products increased month-on-month. Driven by profits, steel mills still lack the motivation to reduce production [7]. - **Demand**: The apparent demand of the five major steel products increased month-on-month, but seasonal factors still affected demand, and there was marginal weakening pressure [7]. - **Viewpoint**: Geopolitical issues affected the black series prices, and the production restriction notice in Tangshan had limited impact on steel supply reduction. Entering the consumption off-season, the inventory reduction slowed down, and steel prices continued to fluctuate at low levels [7]. - **Strategy**: Pay attention to the pressure around 3020 for the RB2510 contract and the repair of the basis between futures and spot [7]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Market - As of June 20, 2025, the RB2510 contract closed at 2992 yuan/ton, and the HC2510 contract closed at 3116 yuan/ton. The Shanghai rebar basis was 98 yuan/ton, and the Shanghai hot-rolled coil basis was 84 yuan/ton.
