Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The current round of precious metals upward trend since late August may extend to 2026 due to factors such as the Fed's potential interest - rate cuts, high geopolitical risks, and the acceleration of the global trade - currency system restructuring. Investors are advised to maintain a long - position mindset, and short - hedgers can appropriately reduce the hedging ratio. However, the current high price - earnings ratio of gold requires strong safe - haven demand, and long - position investors need to control their positions and be aware of short - term adjustment risks [4][5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Precious Metals Market Analysis - **Intraday Market**: Sino - US trade tensions show signs of easing, weakening safe - haven demand and pressuring London gold to around $4080 per ounce. But the US federal government shutdown and Fed rate cuts support precious metals. It is necessary to observe whether London gold can stabilize between $3950 - $4050 per ounce. This week, focus on Sino - US trade talks, China's September economic data, the progress of the US government shutdown, and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee [4]. - **Medium - term Market**: The US employment and inflation situation supports the Fed's rate - cut restart. Global trade - currency system restructuring and high geopolitical risks continue to drive gold demand. The upward trend of precious metals since late August may extend to 2026. The six - month and one - year target prices for London gold are $4500 and $4800 per ounce respectively, and for London silver are $58 and $63 per ounce respectively. However, the current high price - earnings ratio of gold requires strong safe - haven demand, and long - position investors need to control positions and beware of short - term adjustments. The support levels for London gold are $4130 and $3975 per ounce, and for London silver are $50.31 and $47.76 per ounce [5]. Precious Metals Market - Related Charts The report provides multiple charts related to precious metals, including Shanghai gold and silver futures indices, London gold and silver spot prices, the basis of Shanghai futures indices against Shanghai gold T + D, and gold and silver ETF holdings, etc., but no specific analysis of these charts is given in the text [6][7][9]. Major Macroeconomic Events/Data - Russian President Putin stated that Moscow will never yield to external pressure and will respond overwhelmingly if its deep - seated targets are attacked. He also said that US and Western sanctions have little impact on Russia's economic well - being [17]. - The EU included two Chinese refineries (Liaoyang Petrochemical and Shandong Yulong Petrochemical) and PetroChina's trading unit (PetroChina Hong Kong) in the sanctions list against Russia, claiming they are major buyers of Russian crude oil. It also sanctioned a Chinese trading company for its role in Russia's sanctions - evasion [17]. - The US is preparing to investigate China's compliance with the trade agreement signed during Trump's first term [17]. - The Kuwaiti oil minister said that OPEC is ready to increase oil production by further canceling production cuts if necessary after the US imposed new sanctions on Russian oil giants, expecting demand to shift to the Gulf and Middle East regions [17].

Report Information - Report Type: Black Metal Weekly Report [1] - Date: October 24, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Black Variety Research Team, including researchers Zhai Hepan, Nie Jiayi, and Feng Zeren [4] Investment Strategies Single - Side Strategies - **RB2601 and HC2601**: The rebound rhythm is undetermined. The latest prices are 3046 and 3250 respectively. Geopolitical easing and the improvement of steel terminal demand bring a steel price rebound, but it should be viewed with caution. The recovery path of steel mill profits will determine the price rebound rhythm. If it is through raw material price cuts, the negative feedback will be greater and the steel price increase process will be more tortuous; if it is through a significant improvement in terminal demand, the steel price increase will be smoother [6][7][8] - **J2601**: The latest price is 1757.5. After a phased correction, it may continue to strengthen. Recent coke production of independent coking enterprises and steel production enterprises has declined, coke inventory in ports and independent coking enterprises is generally low, and there is a demand for a second - round price increase in coke spot, but the acceptance process of steel mills is slow [6][9] - **JM2601**: The latest price is 1248.5. After a phased correction, it may continue to strengthen. Cold weather in most of the north, stricter coal mine safety production inspections, and a decline in Mongolian coal customs clearance have led to higher coal prices. The coking coal port inventory is at a low level, and although coking coal imports have recovered, there is still a year - on - year decline of more than 6% from January to September [6][9] Spread Arbitrage Strategies - **I2601**: The latest price is 771. It is expected to operate weakly. The five major steel products' production has recovered and the apparent demand has continued to rise, while the daily average pig iron output has declined for four consecutive weeks, falling below 2.4 million tons. Steel mill profits have been continuously narrowing, suppressing production enthusiasm and affecting raw material demand [6] Core Views - The steel price rebound due to geopolitical easing and improved terminal demand should be treated with caution, and the recovery path of steel mill profits is crucial [7][8] - Coke and coking coal futures are likely to continue to strengthen after a phased correction, supported by news and the spot market [9][10] - The iron ore price is under pressure in the short term due to compressed steel mill profits and weakening demand [11][12] Summary by Directory Steel Fundamental Analysis - **Price**: In the week of October 24, the prices of major rebar and hot - rolled coil spot markets rebounded with varying increases.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The launch of monthly average price futures contracts (covering LLDPE, PVC, and PP) by the Dalian Commodity Exchange is an important innovation for the futures market to serve the real economy. It fills the gap in the domestic average price futures contract type, enriches the domestic derivatives market products, and promotes the diversified and refined development of the futures market [7][12]. - Monthly average price futures can provide a price reference for the stable production and operation of the spot industry, help smooth price fluctuations, and meet the diverse risk management needs of enterprises. It simplifies the hedging process, reduces operating risks and costs, and improves the flexibility of capital use [12]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Average Price Futures Contract Listing - Average price futures are contracts based on the average price, settled in cash at maturity. The monthly average price futures contracts for three chemical products (LLDPE, PVC, and PP) will be listed for trading at 21:00 on October 28, 2025, with night trading available. The initial listed contracts are for the 2602, 2603, and 2604 months, and new contracts will be added monthly to cover six near - month contracts. The listing benchmark price is the settlement price on October 28, 2025 [7]. 3.2 Background of the Listing of Monthly Average Price Futures Contracts 3.2.1 International Overview of Monthly Average Price Futures - Internationally, monthly average price futures are mainly concentrated in industries where spot trading uses average price pricing, such as crude oil, petrochemical products, and non - ferrous metals. Multiple international exchanges have launched monthly average price futures to meet the pricing and hedging needs of the industry. For example, CME launched WTI crude oil monthly average price futures in 2006, ICE launched monthly average price futures contracts for Brent crude oil and natural gas in 2008, and LME launched non - ferrous metal monthly average price futures in 2014. International average price futures are divided into two types based on price sources: those using futures prices and those using spot prices [8]. 3.2.2 Plastic Product Trade Pricing Model - In international trade, plastic products such as polyethylene widely use the average price trade model. Overseas producers and traders often prefer to use the average price model to sign contracts with downstream customers. In domestic trade, the pricing models are more diverse, including "fixed price", "basis point pricing", weekly and monthly average prices. The average price trade can smooth short - term fluctuations [9][10]. 3.2.3 Domestic Chemical Futures Foundation and Conditions for Launching Monthly Average Price Contracts - The futures of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene were launched on the Dalian Commodity Exchange in 2007, 2009, and 2014 respectively. In 2024, their average daily trading volumes were 340,000 lots, 1.06 million lots, and 340,000 lots respectively, and the average daily open interests were 510,000 lots, 1.12 million lots, and 520,000 lots respectively. The proportion of legal entity customer positions in these three chemical futures was relatively high, laying a good foundation for the launch of monthly average price futures contracts [11]. 3.3 Significance of the Listing of Monthly Average Price Futures Contracts - It fills the gap in the domestic average price futures contract type, enriches the domestic derivatives market products, and promotes the diversified and refined development of the futures market. - It provides a relatively stable price reference for the market, helps smooth price fluctuations, and improves the stability of the petrochemical industry chain. In 2024, the annualized volatility of the daily prices of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene futures was 7.8%, 14.4%, and 7.4% respectively, while that of the monthly average prices was 4.3%, 7.6%, and 4.3% respectively. - It simplifies the hedging process, reduces operating risks and costs, and improves the flexibility of capital use [12]. 3.4 Settlement Method of Average Price Futures Contracts - Monthly average price futures contracts use a three - stage settlement method: before the month before the contract month, the daily settlement price is the daily settlement price of the corresponding physical delivery futures contract; in a trading day of the month before the contract month, the daily settlement price is calculated as the average of the daily settlement prices of the corresponding physical delivery futures contract in all trading days of that month, giving a higher weight to the latest trading day; on the last trading day of the monthly average price, the daily settlement price is the arithmetic average of the daily settlement prices of the corresponding physical delivery futures contract in all trading days of the month before the contract month, and cash settlement is carried out on the last trading day [13][14]. 3.5 Interpretation of the Content of Monthly Average Price Futures Contracts 3.5.1 Trading Code - The trading codes for the monthly average price futures contracts of linear low - density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride are "L Contract Month F", "PP Contract Month F", and "V Contract Month F" respectively. The contract months are from January to December.
