Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The recent strength of tin prices is mainly due to tight supply. Yunnan Tin plans to stop production for maintenance from August 30th for 45 days as expected. In August 2025, China's refined tin production decreased both month - on - month and year - on - year, mainly affected by some enterprises' maintenance and the decrease in tin concentrate imports in July. In the short term, with a stable macro - environment, despite demand pressure, tin prices may rise slightly further, with the upper target tentatively set at 276,000 yuan per ton [3]. - There are several利多 factors, including the easing of Sino - US tariff policies, the semiconductor sector being in an expansion cycle, and Myanmar's resumption of production falling short of expectations [4][5]. - There are also利空 factors such as the repetition of tariff policies, the inflow of Myanmar's tin ore into China, and the semiconductor sector's expansion slowing down and moving towards a contraction cycle [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The recent trading logic is related to the production restrictions on steel mills in Tangshan before the September 3 military parade, leading to a decline in the demand expectation for coke and ferroalloy furnace materials. The previous position limits on coking coal contracts by the exchange have reduced its liquidity, and the hype sentiment has faded, causing most commodities to fall from their highs. Ferroalloys have followed the downward trend of coking coal prices. However, ferroalloy prices have dropped to the level at the beginning of the anti - involution campaign, and the possibility of further decline is limited. There is still support at the bottom, but due to high operating rates and weak downstream demand, there is pressure on the upside. Ferroalloy profits have been declining, and production is at a relatively high level in the past five years, with weak incentives for further production increases and a possibility of production cuts. With production restrictions on steel mills before the parade and no significant improvement in demand, ferroalloy inventories may shift from destocking to stockpiling. The price difference between the main raw materials of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, semi - coke and manganese ore, is gradually widening, and it is cost - effective to go long on the price difference between the two silicons. It is recommended to go long on the 01 price difference of the two silicons at - 400 [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Ferroalloy Price Range Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for ferrosilicon is 5300 - 6000, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 20.32% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 54.1%. The monthly price range forecast for silicomanganese is also 5300 - 6000, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 15.84% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 30.1% [3]. Ferroalloy Hedging Inventory Management - For enterprises with high finished - product inventories worried about ferroalloy price drops, they can short ferroalloy futures (SF2511, SM2601) to lock in profits and cover production costs. The selling direction is recommended, with a hedging ratio of 15% and an entry range of 6200 - 6250 for SF and 6400 - 6500 for SM [3]. Procurement Management - For enterprises with low regular procurement inventories and aiming to purchase according to orders, they can buy ferroalloy futures (SF2511, SM2601) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance. The buying direction is recommended, with a hedging ratio of 25% and an entry range of 5100 - 5200 for SF and 5300 - 5400 for SM [3]. 利多解读 Ferrosilicon - The demand for ferrosilicon in five major steel products is 2.06 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.48%. Ferrosilicon warehouse receipts are 9.92 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 3.13%, and the total inventory is 16.21 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.46% [7]. Silicomanganese - The government's strict control policies on high - energy - consuming industries may lead to industrial structure adjustment and upgrading in the silicomanganese industry. The demand for silicomanganese in five major steel products is 12.67 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.12%. Silicomanganese enterprise inventories are 14.9 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 4.49%, warehouse receipts are 33.28 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.05%, and the total inventory is 48.18 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 4.88% [8]. 利空解读 Ferrosilicon - The supply of ferroalloys is at a high level in the past five years, with significant supply pressure. In the absence of improved downstream demand, its growth space is limited. Ferrosilicon enterprise inventories are 6.29 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.29% [8]. Silicomanganese - In the long run, the real - estate market is sluggish, the black - related sector has declined, and there are doubts about the growth of steel terminal demand, resulting in relatively weak silicomanganese demand. Silicomanganese production is 21.34 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.04%, and the Chinese enterprise operating rate is 47%, a month - on - month increase of 0.63% [8]. Daily Data Ferrosilicon - On September 1, 2025, the basis in Ningxia was 18, 01 - 05 was - 124, 05 - 09 was 284, 09 - 01 was - 160.

Silicomanganese - On September 1, 2025, the basis in Inner Mongolia was 294, 01 - 05 was - 44, 05 - 09 was 138, 09 - 01 was - 94, and the price difference between the two silicons was - 204. Spot prices in different regions also declined compared to previous days. The number of warehouse receipts was 65760, a decrease compared to previous days [9].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core View The subsequent stock index trend is expected to remain generally strong but with increased volatility. On one hand, under the optimistic sentiment, the current upward trend of the stock index is mainly driven by loose domestic and foreign liquidity. After the Fed's interest rate cut is implemented, the expectation of the interest rate cut path may cause short - term marginal fluctuations in liquidity. If the Fed slows down the interest rate cut rhythm due to strong US inflation and employment, overseas liquidity will tighten marginally, and the stock index may face a phased adjustment. If US inflation and employment are weak, the expectation of interest rate cuts will heat up, overseas liquidity will loosen marginally, further boosting the stock index. If one is strong and the other is weak, the stock index trend may be volatile under the repeated influence of interest rate cut expectations. On the other hand, the intensification of domestic service consumption policies and the existence of valuation repair space will provide strong support for the market, forming a bottom - support for A - shares, and the downside space is small. Therefore, if there is an adjustment, the amplitude will not be large [2]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Multiple Benefits and the Market Rally In August, the CSI 300 index increased by 3.54%. In August, the A - share market showed a certain upward trend. The closing price of the Shanghai Composite Index on August 30 was 5427, with a slight increase of 0.02% compared to the previous trading day, and a cumulative increase of 2.45% in August [11]. 3.2 September: Stability at Home, Changes Abroad - **3.2.1 September Fed Interest Rate Cut Almost Certain, Focus on Marginal Changes in Liquidity** The CME data shows that as of August, the probability of a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut by the Fed in September is 87.5%. The PCE in July 2024 was 2.9%. The Fed's interest rate cut situation will have an impact on the A - share market through liquidity [12]. - **3.2.2 Domestic Policy Expectations Continue to Provide Bottom - Support** In August, the cumulative increase of the CSI 300 index was 20% lower than that of the Consumption 100 index. From January to July, the year - on - year growth rate of domestic catering revenue was 4.9%, and in June it was 3.8%. Domestic policies are expected to continue to support the A - share market [14]. - **3.2.3 There is Still a Large Space for Valuation Repair** The valuation of the CSI 300 index has a large repair space, with a historical percentile of 60 - 66%. From August 1 to 29, the PE (TTM) of the CSI 300 index increased from 13.11 to 14.12, an increase of 7.7%. Compared with historical high - points such as 45.2 in 2007, 19 in 2015, and 16.5 in 2021, there is still room for improvement. In August, the TTM of the A - share market also showed certain changes, with the TTM of the Shanghai Composite Index increasing by 18.95%, the TTM of the Shenzhen Component Index increasing by 4.41%, and the TTM of the ChiNext Index increasing by 15.25%. The DR007 central value continued to decline in August, which is conducive to market liquidity [18][21]. 3.3 Market Outlook In August, the trading sentiment was hot. The PCR (Put - Call Ratio) of some index futures was at a relatively high level, such as the PCR of IM and IH reaching 95%, and the MO PCR reaching 90% in August [24].

Report Summary 1. Core Viewpoints - The current domestic supply-demand situation of urea remains weak. Towards the weekend, due to the positive expectations of demand after the military parade and the Indian tender, the low-price transactions in some regions improved significantly, and upstream quotes were tentatively raised. The new round of Indian urea tender on September 2nd is generally considered bullish, and attention should be paid to the 15 reverse spread opportunity. In the medium term, the second batch of urea exports will support the demand side to some extent. Although factory inventory and pending orders pressure increase, with the opening of the export channel, there may be a phased rebound. However, agricultural demand is gradually weakening, and the fundamentals will face pressure in the second half of the year. The 01 contract is expected to fluctuate between 1650 - 1850 [4]. - Urea exports have been confirmed. In a market with strong speculative sentiment, urea futures are mainly priced speculatively, so they are expected to show a wide - range oscillation pattern with stronger downside support [4]. - Domestic policies suppress the market. The association requires factories to sell urea at low prices, which has a negative impact on spot sentiment [4]. 2. Price Range Forecast | Product | Price Range Forecast (Monthly) | Current Volatility (20 - day Rolling) | Current Volatility Historical Percentile (3 years) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Urea | 1650 - 1950 | 27.16% | 62.1% | | Methanol | 2250 - 2500 | 20.01% | 51.2% | | Polypropylene | 6800 - 7400 | 10.56% | 42.2% | | Plastic | 6800 - 7400 | 15.24% | 78.5% | [3] 3. Urea Hedging Strategies Inventory Management - **Scenario**: High finished - product inventory, worried about urea price decline. - **Strategy 1**: Short urea futures to lock in profits and make up for production costs according to inventory. Sell UR2601 and buy UR2601P1850, with a hedging ratio of 25% and an entry range of 1800 - 1950. - **Strategy 2**: Buy put options to prevent sharp price drops and sell call options to reduce capital costs. Sell UR2601C1950, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 45 - 60 [3]. Procurement Management - **Scenario**: Low procurement of regular inventory, hope to purchase according to orders. - **Strategy 1**: Buy urea futures at present to lock in procurement costs in advance. Buy UR2601, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 1650 - 1750. - **Strategy 2**: Sell put options to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs. If the urea price drops, the purchase price of spot urea can be locked. Sell UR2601P1650, with a hedging ratio of 75% and an entry range of 20 - 25 [3].

Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Futures Lithium Carbonate Enterprise Risk Management Daily Report - Date: September 1, 2025 - Analysts: Xia Yingying, Yu Weihang 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - In September, the lithium carbonate futures price is likely to show a wide - range oscillation pattern, with the price fluctuating based on the game between "supply disturbance intensity" and "demand fulfillment degree" [3][4]. - The core contradiction affecting the lithium carbonate futures price is the interaction between supply - side disturbances and demand - side peak - season expectations. Supply - side disturbances are the leading factor for the current futures price rebound, while the demand side provides key support [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Price Interval Prediction - For the lithium carbonate main contract, the strong resistance level is 90,000 yuan/ton. The current volatility (20 - day rolling) is 42.2%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility (3 - year) is 73.5% [2]. 3.2 Lithium Carbonate Enterprise Risk Management Strategy Recommendations Inventory Management - To prevent inventory impairment, 60% of the strategy is to short lithium carbonate futures (LC2511) according to inventory. 40% is to sell call options (over - the - counter/on - exchange options), and also buy out - of - the - money put options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options) [2]. Procurement Management - To prevent future price increases, 10% of the strategy is to buy far - month lithium carbonate contracts according to the procurement plan. 20% is to sell put options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options), and also buy out - of - the - money call options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options) [2]. 3.3 Core Contradiction Analysis Supply - side - Supply - side disturbances are the main reason for the futures price rebound. Market concerns about mining license issues and environmental protection in Jiangxi lithium mines may lead to production suspension, increasing supply uncertainty. A price - driven chain of "price increase - capacity release - ore consumption increase - ore price increase" is formed, and future enterprise开工率 is expected to rise, potentially causing temporary lithium ore shortages and pushing up the lithium salt price [3]. Demand - side - The peak - season expectation of "Golden September" and the resilience of the terminal structure support the demand. Downstream lithium - battery material enterprises' production is expected to increase by over 5% month - on - month. The demand from new - energy commercial vehicles and energy - storage fields offsets the weakening demand from new - energy passenger cars, maintaining the growth of lithium - salt demand [3]. 3.4 Futures Data Price and Volume Changes - The closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract is 75,560 yuan/ton, down 1,620 yuan (- 2.10%) daily and 3,820 yuan (- 4.81%) weekly. The trading volume is 540,295 lots, up 50,237 lots (10.25%) daily but down 86,621 lots (- 13.82%) weekly. The open interest is 339,133 lots, down 7,472 lots (- 2.16%) daily and 29,534 lots (- 8.01%) weekly [9]. Month - to - Month Spread Changes - LC11 - 12 is 140 yuan, down 120 yuan (- 46%) daily and 200 yuan (- 59%) weekly. LC11 - 01 is 340 yuan, down 200 yuan (- 37%) daily and 340 yuan (- 50%) weekly [14]. 3.5 Spot Data Lithium Ore - The average price of lithium mica (Li2O: 2 - 2.5%) is 1,950 yuan/ton, down 25 yuan (- 1.27%) daily and 45 yuan (- 2.26%) weekly. Other lithium ore prices also show different degrees of decline [19]. Carbonate and Hydroxide - The average price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate is 76,050 yuan/ton, down 1,300 yuan (- 1.68%) daily and 4,150 yuan (- 5.17%) weekly. Other related products also have price changes [22]. Downstream Products - The prices of downstream products such as lithium iron phosphate and ternary materials also show different degrees of decline or stability [27][28]. 3.6 Basis and Warehouse Receipt Data Basis - The basis of lithium carbonate main continuous contract and brand - based basis quotes are provided. For example, the basis quotes of some well - known lithium enterprises such as Tianqi Lithium and Ganfeng Lithium are stable [30]. Warehouse Receipts - The total number of lithium carbonate warehouse receipts is 29,887 lots, an increase of 930 lots compared to yesterday. Different warehouses have different changes in warehouse receipt quantities [33]. 3.7 Cost and Profit - No specific numerical analysis of cost and profit is provided in the summary part, but there are charts showing lithium carbonate production profit from purchased lithium ore, import profit, and theoretical delivery profit [34][36].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2) Core View of the Report - Today, the futures prices of each contract of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) opened higher, moved up, and then fluctuated. By the close, the prices of all EC contracts had rebounded.
