Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View The prices of each monthly contract of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) futures fluctuated slightly downward in the morning and rebounded in the afternoon. Except for a slight increase in the EC2508 contract, the prices of other monthly contracts declined slightly. The opening price of the futures dropped due to Hamas' compromise on the cease - fire plan and MSC and Evergreen's price cuts for the European Line in late August. However, the price rebounded later because MSK's new - week spot cabin quotes for the European Line decreased less than the previous value and market expectations. Overall, it is more likely that EC will continue to fluctuate, and some contracts may rebound from low levels [1]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The strengthening of tin prices on Tuesday afternoon may be related to smelter production cut expectations, but both macro and fundamental factors have limited impact. Macroscopically, the US retail sales data in July met expectations. Fundamentally, the repeated delay of the full resumption of production in Myanmar's tin mines has been providing obvious support for tin prices and may have a continuous impact. In the short term, tin prices may remain volatile, with a stable macro environment and room for speculation on supply - side topics [3] 3.

Core Viewpoints - Copper prices continued to fluctuate on Tuesday and are expected to remain volatile in the short term. The previous support level of 77,000 yuan per ton has been raised to 78,000 yuan per ton.

Report Information - Report Name: LPG Industry Risk Management Daily Report [2] - Date: August 19, 2025 [3] - Analysts: Dai Yifan (Investment Consulting Certificate: Z0015428), Shen Weiwei (F03140197) [3] Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Views - The marginal improvement in demand is difficult to offset the suppression of warehouse receipts. As of August 19, the LPG warehouse receipts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange were 13,318 lots (+440) [4]. - On the demand side, there is a marginal improvement. The PDH sector is expected to operate at 75%-80% due to profit repair, which is a high level this year and seasonally. The MTBE sector is supported by exports, with the operating rate remaining at a phased high of around 65%. The alkylation oil operating rate has also slightly increased to around 50%, which is a seasonal high [5]. - On the cost side, the crude oil market has shifted to a sideways trend after consecutive days of decline, and demand will also weaken seasonally. The overseas propane market is also under pressure due to high exports. On the supply side, the domestic major refineries are operating at a high level, while the local refineries are gradually recovering from a low level. On the inventory side, the port inventory remains high due to high arrivals [6]. Content Summaries LPG Price and Volatility - The monthly price range forecast for LPG is 3,750 - 4,400. The current 20-day rolling volatility is 15.47%, and the historical percentage of the current volatility in the past three years is 5.99% [3]. LPG Hedging Strategies Inventory Management - For high inventory and concerns about price drops, sell PG2510 futures at a 50% hedging ratio when the price is between 4,400 - 4,500 to lock in profits and cover production costs. Also, sell PG2510C4500 call options at a 25% hedging ratio when the price is between 60 - 80 to collect premiums and lock in the selling price if the spot price rises [3]. Procurement Management - For low procurement inventory and the need to purchase based on orders, buy PG2509 futures at a 25% hedging ratio when the price is between 3,600 - 3,700 to lock in procurement costs. Also, sell PG2509P3600 put options at a 25% hedging ratio when the price is between 8 - 10 to collect premiums and lock in the spot purchase price if the PG price drops [3].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The expansion of the US steel and aluminum tariff scope on August 15 did not change the tariff rate. The impact on aluminum prices is relatively small compared to the adjustment on May 30. The tariff is expected to cause a price correction rather than a reversal, and the correction range is not expected to be deep. In the medium - term, aluminum prices are still optimistic, and the correction is regarded as a restocking opportunity [3][16]. - The impact of the tariff expansion on demand needs to be verified by subsequent retail data. The previous tariff increase made PPI rise but had little impact on CPI, indicating that most of the tariff was absorbed by manufacturers and had less impact on demand [14]. - The US tariff policy adjustment affects the entire non - ferrous metal sector, which will be reflected in demand and then affect prices. The tariff range may be adjusted according to relevant categories, and the policy uncertainty in the second half of 2025 is decreasing [18]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents US Steel and Aluminum Tariff Policy Timeline - On February 10, 2025, Trump signed a document to impose a 25% tariff on all imported steel and aluminum in the US and cancel the tax - free quotas and exemptions for some trading partners [2]. - On March 12, 2025, the 25% tariff on all imported steel and aluminum in the US officially took effect [2]. - On May 30, 2025, Trump announced to raise the steel and aluminum import tariff from 25% to 50%, which took effect on June 4 [2][3]. - On August 15, 2025, the Trump administration announced to expand the scope of the 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports, adding 407 product codes, and the new list took effect on August 18 [1][3]. Newly Added Tariff - Covered Product Areas - Automobile manufacturing: Galvanized steel sheets, aluminum alloy wheels, engine brackets and other key components [4]. - Construction engineering: Steel structure beams, aluminum alloy window and door frames, prestressed concrete steel strands [4]. - Consumer goods: Tin - plated sheets for cans, household appliance shells, kitchen cookware [5]. - Industrial equipment: Transformers, compressor valve plates, hydraulic system pipes, structural parts of mining machinery and industrial processing machinery [5]. China's Aluminum Exports to the US - Direct exports of aluminum materials: Since 2018, China's exports of unforged aluminum and aluminum materials to the US have decreased significantly. In 2024, the export volume was 25.4 tons, a 62% decrease from 2017. The proportion of exports to the US in total exports dropped to 3.8% in 2024, a 10.2 - percentage - point decrease from 2017 [5]. - Exports of aluminum products: The scale of China's aluminum product exports to the US has been generally stable, ranging from 350,000 to 600,000 tons, accounting for about 16% of total exports. The indirect export scale of aluminum is estimated to exceed 3 million tons, and exports to the US account for about 15% [7]. - Re - exports of aluminum: After the US trade war in 2017, the global aluminum trade flow was reshaped. China's aluminum exports to the US decreased, while exports to other countries and regions increased. Mexico, Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries are common re - export destinations [9]. China's Aluminum Consumption and Export Proportion - In 2024, China's full - scale domestic aluminum consumption was 50.23 million tons, accounting for 88% of total consumption, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.3% from 2015 - 2024. Aluminum and aluminum material exports were 6.63 million tons, accounting for 12% of total consumption, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% from 2015 - 2024. Exports to the US accounted for about 4.6% - 6.4% of the country's total aluminum product consumption [13]. Impact of Tariff Adjustment - There is some room for enterprises to operate in tariff declaration, but the impact on demand is real. The extent of the impact depends on how the tax is distributed between manufacturers and consumers [14]. - Previous tariff increases made PPI rise but had little impact on CPI, indicating that most of the tariff was absorbed by manufacturers. The specific impact of this tariff expansion needs to be verified by subsequent retail data [14]. - From the perspective of the futures market, this tariff expansion has less impact on aluminum prices. In the medium - term, there are upward drivers for aluminum in September, such as interest rate cuts and the recovery of peak - season demand [16]. Future Focus on Tariff Policy - Future tariff - related content worthy of attention includes global tariff agreements and which categories are within the agreement scope. The US policy uncertainty index has decreased since August 2025 [18].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Views - The overall market remains loose. In the Shandong market, the resumption of production at Shandong Tianhong and Zibo Xintai, along with the downstream PO maintenance at Wanhua Penglai, has increased the supply of propylene, weakening the spot price.
