Information Summary - Report Date: August 29, 2025 [2] - Industry: Cotton [1] - Research Analysts: Yulan Lan, Zhenlei Lin, Haifeng Wang, Chenliang Hong, Youran Liu [3] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Report's Core View - The Zhengzhou cotton market is experiencing a period of oscillatory adjustment. The latest price index for 328-grade cotton is 15,336 yuan/ton, a decrease of 6 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The mainstream sales basis quotes for 2024/25 northern Xinjiang local machine-picked cotton and southern Xinjiang Kashgar machine-picked cotton are provided. The cotton yarn market has a stable trading volume, with conventional yarns being the most popular, and some low-count yarns also seeing increased sales. However, spinning mills are still operating at limited capacity, and overall market confidence is weak. The cotton fabric market has not seen significant changes, with sales remaining slow and orders for weaving factories having limited recovery [7]. - In the overseas market, the weekly export sales data for US cotton has weakened, the drought coverage rate in major cotton-growing areas has increased, the good and excellent rate has slightly decreased week-on-week, and the net long position of CFTC funds remains at a low level. Therefore, the short-term trend of the external market is difficult to break out of the range-bound pattern. In the domestic market, the cotton in Xinjiang is in the boll-opening and flocculation stage, and the market is waiting for guidance from the new cotton purchase. Recently, there have been rumors that a large amount of new cotton has been pre-sold, and the expectation of a rush to purchase new cotton has increased. However, the expected stable increase in production also brings pressure on the long-term market. On the demand side, the inventory of cotton yarn products continues to decline slightly, and the sales of fabric factories are not as good as those of yarn factories. The market is still observing the performance of the traditional peak season. Overall, due to limited changes in the fundamentals, the market is expected to continue its oscillatory adjustment [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1.

PP2601 closed at 7020 yuan/ton, down 16 yuan (-0.23%), with an increase in open interest by 14,800 lots to 496,500 lots [6] - The weak futures market has affected the spot market sentiment. Traders are actively destocking at the end of the month, and the offers are slightly weaker. The impact of maintenance is decreasing, and new production capacities are being released steadily, which suppresses the market from the supply side. The demand side is gradually transitioning to the peak season, and the overall downstream operating rate is expected to increase, but the short - term raw material procurement is still cautious. The market sentiment has weakened, and the decline in crude oil prices has reduced the cost support, so polyolefins are oscillating weakly [6] 4. Industry News - On August 28, 2025, the inventory level of major producers was 670,000 tons, a decrease of 35,000 tons (-4.96%) from the previous workday, compared with 695,000 tons in the same period last year [7] - Propylene producers' shipments are smooth, and they still have some willingness to support prices.

Before noon, downstream factories were cautiously waiting and watching, with limited active inquiries, and the pre - noon trading was weak [7]

The inventory of ports and steel mills decreased, while the inventory of coking plants increased slightly. The profit per ton of coke has been profitable for two consecutive weeks. In terms of coking coal, from January to July, the year - on - year decline in the import volume of coal and lignite expanded, and the inventory of mines and coking plants changed. The spot price of coking coal is difficult to rise continuously [10]. 3.3 Industry News - From January to July, the total profit of industrial enterprises above designated size decreased by 1.7% year - on - year. The performance of some coal and steel enterprises in the first half of 2025 declined. The western oil and gas energy corridor project in Xinjiang achieved a breakthrough.

Report Overview - Report Type: Iron Ore Daily Review [1] - Date: August 28, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Black Metal Research Team [3] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - On August 27, the iron ore futures main contract 2601 oscillated weakly, closing at 775.5 yuan/ton, down 0.64%. The accident at the SimFer mine in Guinea had a limited impact, and the production is expected to resume soon. The short - term bullish sentiment has faded [7][10][11]. - Fundamentally, the supply of iron ore has a slightly rising trend, and the subsequent arrivals may show a pattern of low first and high later. The demand side remains strong, but the profit of steel production has declined, and the 9.3 limit - production may affect both terminal demand and blast - furnace demand. The market is worried about the potential weakening of demand in the future [11][12]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review and Outlook - **Market Review** - On August 27, the iron ore futures main 2601 contract oscillated weakly, opening at 776 yuan/ton, reaching a high of 781.5 yuan/ton and a low of 773 yuan/ton, and closing at 775.5 yuan/ton, down 0.64% [7]. - The prices of major iron ore outer - market quotes remained flat on August 27 compared with the previous trading day, and the prices of major - grade iron ore at Qingdao Port decreased by 3 - 5 yuan/ton [9]. - The daily KDJ indicator of the iron ore 2601 contract continued to rise, and the green column of the daily MACD indicator has narrowed for 3 consecutive trading days [9]. - **Outlook** - The accident at the SimFer mine in Guinea had a limited impact, and the production is expected to resume soon.

The total shipments in the past four weeks increased by 1.8% compared with the previous four weeks. Considering the shipping time, the subsequent arrivals may be low first and high later [11]. - Demand: The production enthusiasm of enterprises remains high, and the molten iron output has increased for two consecutive weeks, remaining above 2.4 million tons. Regarding the 9.3 limit - production, according to Mysteel's survey, most steel mills received oral notices of environmental protection limit - production, mainly for sintering machines with a 30% - 40% reduction. Only 13 steel mills said that blast - furnace production was restricted. The steel production profit has declined recently, which may affect future production enthusiasm [11]. - Downstream: The demand for steel products recovered last week, but its sustainability needs to be observed. Considering the possible phased suspension of infrastructure projects in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region before September 3, a cautious attitude is recommended, and the demand may weaken again [11]. 3.2 Industry News - On August 25, 2025, the Australian Anti - Dumping Commission announced the postponement of the release of the basic fact report and final recommendation of the anti - dumping sunset review investigation on imported wire rods from China.

The current high supply pressure persists, but the inventory inflection point is looming as the downstream peak season approaches and social inventories have been decreasing for two weeks [9]. Summary by Section 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestion - Market performance: Carbonate lithium first rose and then fell. The main contract of carbonate lithium futures once rose above 81,000 due to market speculation about the suspension of Yifeng mines, but then declined as market risk preference dropped in the afternoon.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stated in an online status update on Monday that Northern Dynasty Minerals had not advanced "updated submission materials" for its proposed Pebble mine project, adding that "the agency has not received any relevant documents at present."
