1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints - Oil prices are fluctuating within a range due to the uncertainty of geopolitical situations and the continuous weakness of fundamentals. The tense situation between the US and Venezuela has replaced the Russia-Ukraine conflict as the short - term price - determining factor, but the market's sensitivity to geopolitics has decreased. The interest rate cut has been priced in earlier and has limited impact on oil price drivers. The long - term trading logic of crude oil still needs to focus on the evolution of the long - term supply - demand pattern. [1][5][7] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - Oil prices are fluctuating between geopolitical uncertainty (US - Venezuela tensions) and weak fundamentals. The Fed's 25 - basis - point interest rate cut was already priced in by the market, so its current impact on prices is neutral. The market's sensitivity to geopolitical risks has decreased, and the follow - up should focus on the development of the US - Venezuela situation. [1] 3.1.2 Speculative Strategy Recommendations - **Market Positioning**: Short - term shock and relative stability. - **Strategy Recommendations**: - **Unilateral**: Trade within the range, paying attention to the potential pressure around $65/barrel and the potential support around $62/barrel for Brent oil. - **Arbitrage**: Wait and see. - **Options**: Wait and see. [9] 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Focus Events 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: The US has imposed sanctions on individuals, shipping companies, and tankers operating in Venezuela's oil sector. Russian crude oil deliveries to India and China have declined for three consecutive weeks, likely due to new US sanctions. [10] - **Negative Information**: US Gulf Coast gasoline inventories have risen for four consecutive weeks, and implied demand has declined. US crude oil inventories in Cushing, Oklahoma, and strategic petroleum reserve inventories have changed, and commercial crude oil inventories (excluding strategic reserves) have decreased by 1800,000 barrels, a 0.4% decline. [11][12] 3.2.2 Next Week's Focus Events - Pay attention to the development of the US - Venezuela situation, as it is currently the short - term price - determining factor, but the market's sensitivity to it has decreased. [13] 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Volume, Price, and Capital Analysis - **Trend Analysis**: International oil prices have remained stable overall, continuing the recent shock pattern and showing a four - month consecutive decline. - **Domestic Market**: The SC2601 contract of the SC main force closed at 437.6 yuan/ton, a weekly decline of 3.55%. The trading volume of INE crude oil futures on the Shanghai Futures Exchange increased by 9,721 lots to 84,693 lots. - **Foreign Market**: The US oil main contract fell 0.12% to $57.53/barrel, a weekly decline of 4.24%; the Brent crude oil main contract fell 0.11% to $61.21/barrel, a weekly decline of 3.98%. The trading volume of WTI crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange decreased by 45,419 contracts to 1,868,023 contracts, and the net long position of managed funds decreased by 1,025 contracts to - 12,671 contracts. [16][18][21] 3.3.2 Internal - External Spread Tracking - **Spread**: As of December 12, the SC - Brent continuous 1 spread was $0.28/barrel, the SC - WTI continuous 1 spread was $3.94/barrel, the SC - Dubai continuous 1 spread was $0.97/barrel, and the Brent - WTI continuous 1 spread was $3.66/barrel. - **Arbitrage**: The theoretical price of SC M + 3 was 475.46 yuan/barrel, and the deviation from the market price increased. The theoretical on - shore profit of SC was - 29.05 yuan/barrel, and the loss narrowed compared with last week. The SC - Brent spread was weak, and the domestic crude oil was relatively weak under the background of OPEC+ production increase. [27][28] 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Crude Oil Market Monthly Spread Tracking - As of December 12, the Brent monthly spread (01 - 03) was $0.48/barrel, the WTI monthly spread (01 - 03) was $0.41/barrel, and the SC monthly spread (01 - 03) was - 5 yuan/barrel. [31] 3.4.2 Crude Oil Regional Spread Tracking - As of December 12, the SC - Brent continuous 1 spread was $0.27/barrel, and the Brent - WTI continuous 1 spread was $3.66/barrel.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, there is no driving force, and the market shows a weak and volatile pattern. However, it is necessary to be vigilant about environmental protection speculation in winter. In the medium - to - long - term, the downside space for industrial silicon prices is limited, and it is cost - effective to buy long - term contracts during peak seasons at low prices. The price trend of industrial silicon is also closely related to the price fluctuations of related products such as polysilicon and coking coal [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Suggestions 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - The core driving factors for the future price trend of industrial silicon futures include the progress of eliminating backward production capacity under the "anti - involution" background of the industry, production cuts on the supply side due to environmental protection constraints or rising costs, and the expected production cuts on the demand side due to weak terminal sales. The industry has expectations for eliminating backward production capacity, but due to the large number of private enterprises and scattered layout in the industrial silicon industry, there is a lack of confidence in effective capacity clearance through industry self - regulation. - Electricity costs account for 30% of the production cost of industrial silicon, and coal price fluctuations affect electricity costs and then industrial silicon prices. In December, the operating rate of industrial silicon producers is expected to decline. Downstream, the polysilicon industry is reducing production, the silicone monomer plants have maintenance plans, and only the aluminum alloy industry maintains a stable operating rate [1]. 3.1.2 Trading Logic - Near - term trading logic (before the end of 2025): Environmental protection disturbances, and expected production cuts on both the supply and demand sides. - Long - term trading logic (after early 2026): The progress of eliminating backward production capacity under the "anti - involution" background of the industry, and continuous attention to demand [4]. 3.1.3 Industrial Operation Suggestions - Sales management: For enterprises planning to produce industrial silicon in the future and worried about price drops during sales, they can sell corresponding futures contracts and use a combined options strategy (buy put options and sell call options) with a recommended hedging ratio of 20%. - Procurement management: For enterprises planning to produce polysilicon, silicone, or aluminum alloy in the future, if the finished product price is not correlated, they can buy corresponding futures contracts with a recommended hedging ratio of 30% and use a combined options strategy (sell put options and buy call options) with a ratio of 10%. If the finished product price is correlated, they can sell corresponding futures contracts and use a combined options strategy (buy put options and sell call options) with a ratio of 20%. - Inventory management: For enterprises with high industrial silicon inventory and worried about inventory depreciation due to price drops, they can short futures contracts and use a combined options strategy (sell call options and buy put options) with recommended hedging ratios of 20% and 10% respectively [5]. 3.2 Important Information and Events to Watch 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information Review - On December 8, Jianghan New Materials announced that a 60,000 - ton/year trichlorosilane plant was put into trial operation in October this year, 10,000 tons of silane production capacity is planned to be put into trial operation in December, and another 10,000 tons each will be put into trial operation in mid - and late - next year. In 2027, optical fiber - grade silicon tetrachloride and electronic - grade tetraethyl orthosilicate plants will be gradually built. - On December 8, GCL Technology announced that its subsidiaries and other parties signed a partnership agreement to establish a limited partnership, which plans to acquire a 42.469% stake in Inner Mongolia Xinyuan Silicon Materials Technology Co., Ltd. from Hongyuan Green Energy and Tibet Ruihua for a total consideration of RMB 2.01 billion [6]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Events to Watch No events to watch were mentioned in the report [7]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Price, Volume, and Capital Analysis - The closing price of the industrial silicon weighted index contract on Friday was 8,412 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 4.66%. The trading volume was 619,800 lots, a week - on - week increase of 113.65%, and the open interest was 460,100 lots, an increase of 19,000 lots week - on - week. The monthly spread between SI2601 and SI2605 was in a back structure, with a week - on - week increase of 90 yuan/ton. The number of warehouse receipts was 8,619 lots, an increase of 1,331 lots week - on - week. - The industrial silicon weighted futures price quickly fell below the 5 - day moving average this week. The disk showed the characteristic of "short - position increase and price decline". The current price quickly fell below the lower track of the Bollinger Band, and the Bollinger Bandwidth showed signs of widening. It is necessary to focus on the support level of 8,000 yuan/ton, and from Thursday to Friday, there was a characteristic of "short - position exit and price stabilization" [10][11]. 3.3.2 Option Analysis - The 20 - day historical volatility of industrial silicon has been strengthening in the past week, indicating that the actual price fluctuation range has been gradually expanding. The implied volatility of at - the - money options has also been strengthening. The PCR of option open interest has been rising, indicating an increasing bearish sentiment in the market [13]. 3.3.3 Term Structure Analysis - The term structure of industrial silicon futures shows a back structure, which is relatively stable. The basis of the main industrial silicon contract is at a relatively high level [17][19]. 3.3.4 Spot Data of the Silicon Industry Chain - The prices of different grades of industrial silicon in various regions have shown different degrees of decline. The prices of industrial silicon powder have also decreased. The price of trichlorosilane and polysilicon N - type price index remained unchanged, the price of silicone DMC was stable, and the price of aluminum alloy ADC12 increased slightly [22]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit - Since hitting the profit low in May, the average profit of the industrial silicon industry has been in a continuous recovery channel. The profit of the polysilicon industry is currently stable, providing important support for the demand of industrial silicon. The profit of the aluminum alloy industry is showing a weakening trend, while the profit of the silicone industry is recovering [23]. 3.5 Fundamental Analysis 3.5.1 Upstream - Industrial Silicon - The weekly production and operating rates of industrial silicon from different data sources showed different trends. The weekly production of some data sources increased, while others decreased. The operating rates also showed mixed trends [30]. - The inventory data of industrial silicon in different regions and warehouses showed different changes [47][48][50]. 3.5.2 Downstream - Polysilicon - The weekly production of domestic polysilicon decreased, and the operating rate also declined. The total inventory of polysilicon increased slightly, with different changes in the inventory of production enterprises, silicon wafer enterprises, and warehouse receipts [51][52][54]. 3.5.3 Downstream - Aluminum Alloy - The operating rates of primary and secondary aluminum alloys decreased slightly, and the inventory of primary aluminum alloy decreased, while the inventory of secondary aluminum alloy decreased significantly [58][59]. 3.5.4 Downstream - Organic Silicon - The weekly production of organic silicon DMC decreased, with a week - on - week decrease of 6.12% [64]. 3.5.5 Terminal - The report shows the data trends of China's commercial housing sales area, automobile monthly production, and photovoltaic monthly new installed capacity [67].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the Central Economic Work Conference last week, the overall tone was moderate, with no mention of real - estate support policies. The pricing focus of the steel market has returned to fundamentals, and the previous macro - premium has been reversed. [1] - The supply of molten iron is decreasing due to seasonal patterns and steel enterprise profitability. However, recent raw material price concessions have improved blast furnace and electric furnace profits, potentially slowing down the steel production cut. [1] - Seasonal weakness in demand is the core issue for steel prices. Real - estate steel demand is shrinking, and cold weather restricts construction. New steel export regulations may reduce exports next year, weakening the support for steel prices. [1] - The overall inventory of the five major steel products is decreasing. Rebar inventory reduction is relatively healthy, but hot - rolled coil inventory reduction is slower than expected. [1] - The main contradiction currently lies in the furnace materials. Iron ore port inventory is increasing, and its valuation is high, but there is support from winter stockpiling. Coking coal supply is relatively abundant, and its price is weak, but it rebounded at night due to anti - involution news. [1] - Steel prices are expected to fluctuate. The price range of the rebar main contract 2605 may be between 2900 - 3300, and that of the hot - rolled coil main contract 2605 may be between 3000 - 3400. [1] Summary According to the Table of Contents Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - Macro - level support has faded, and the steel market is back to fundamentals. [1] - Supply: Molten iron production is decreasing, but profit improvement may slow the production cut. [1] - Demand: Seasonal weakness, real - estate demand decline, and potential export reduction. [1] - Inventory: Rebar inventory reduction is better than hot - rolled coil. [1] - Furnace materials: Iron ore has high inventory and valuation, with winter - stockpiling support; coking coal supply is abundant. [1] 1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: Range - bound oscillation. The rebar range may be 2900 - 3300, and the hot - rolled coil range may be 3000 - 3400. [5][6] - **Hedging Strategies**: Positive spreads for finished products have a high profit - loss ratio; shrink the hot - rolled coil to rebar price difference. [6] 1.3 Industry Customer Operation Recommendations - **Price Range Forecast**: Rebar 01 contract may range from 2900 - 3300 with a volatility of 12.83% (24.5% percentile); hot - rolled coil 01 contract may range from 3100 - 3500 with a volatility of 10.54% (7.49% percentile). [7] - **Risk Management Strategies**: For inventory management, short rebar or hot - rolled coil futures and sell call options; for procurement management, buy rebar or hot - rolled coil futures and sell put options. [7] Chapter 2: Important Information and Next - Week Concerns 2.1 Important Information - **Negative Information**: The basis is gradually weakening. [11] 2.2 Next - Week Important Events to Follow - Next Monday: China's November year - on - year growth of total retail sales of consumer goods and value - added of industrial enterprises above designated size. [14] - Next Tuesday: US November unemployment rate and non - farm payrolls. [14] Chapter 3: Market Interpretation 3.1 Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation - **Basis**: No significant changes in the term structure of rebar, still in a deep Contango structure; the far - month of hot - rolled coil shows a Contango structure. [23] - **Hot - Rolled Coil to Rebar Price Difference**: Spot and futures price differences may continue to shrink. [20] - **Term Structure**: Rebar's term structure is stable, and hot - rolled coil's far - month shows Contango. [23] - **Monthly Spread Structure**: There are different seasonal patterns for rebar and hot - rolled coil monthly spreads. [27][28][29] Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking in the Industrial Chain - Steel mill profitability has dropped below 40%, but blast furnace and electric furnace profits are improving, reducing the motivation for production cuts of the five major steel products. [30] 4.2 Export Profit Tracking - There are various indicators for tracking hot - rolled coil export profits, such as seasonal patterns and relationships with export volumes and orders. [49] Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projections 5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projections - Steel production (rebar and hot - rolled coil) has decreased, and inventory has also decreased slightly. Molten iron production and scrap consumption have decreased. [70] 5.2 Supply - Side and Projections - Production is affected by profitability, furnace maintenance, and raw material consumption. Different steel products have different production trends. [76][77][80] 5.3 Demand - Side and Projections - There are various consumption forecasts for different steel products, and inventory levels also vary among different steel products. [90][93][103]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Ferroalloys are currently in a bottom - oscillating trend, with support from the cost side and suppression from high inventory and weakening downstream demand [2]. - The supply of ferroalloys is likely to continue to decrease due to seasonal patterns and declining profits, while the demand is expected to decline as hot metal production decreases [2]. - The high inventory of ferroalloys further restricts demand, and destocking may require production cuts [2]. - Despite the weak fundamentals, news about anti - involution competition and green - low - carbon transformation may cause a short - term rebound in ferroalloy prices, but price increases may stimulate hedging and suppress prices [2]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - **Supply**: Ferroalloy production generally shows a decreasing trend. Last week, silicon - manganese production increased slightly by 0.68% week - on - week, while silicon - iron production decreased by 2.30% week - on - week. Future production is likely to decrease further due to corporate losses [2]. - **Demand**: Hot metal production decreased last week and is expected to continue to decline slightly. The demand for ferroalloys is expected to fall, and high inventory also inhibits demand [2]. - **Inventory**: Silicon - iron and silicon - manganese enterprise inventories are at the highest levels in the past five years. Last week, silicon - manganese enterprise inventory increased by 1.73% and silicon - iron enterprise inventory increased by 7.16% week - on - week [2]. - **Trading Logic**: Near - term trading is based on cost support and weakening demand; long - term trading is influenced by anti - involution expectations and green - low - carbon transformation policies [4][5]. 1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: Range - bound oscillation. The price range of the silicon - iron main contract 2603 is 5300 - 5800, and that of the silicon - manganese main contract 2603 is 5500 - 6000 [5]. - **Arbitrage Strategies**: All strategies (basis, calendar spread, and hedging arbitrage) recommend waiting and seeing [5]. 1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range of silicon - iron is 5300 - 6000, with a current volatility of 15.32% and a historical percentile of 32.5% in three years. The monthly price range of silicon - manganese is 5300 - 6000, with a current volatility of 12.21% and a historical percentile of 14.5% in three years [5]. - **Hedging Strategies**: For inventory management, sell 15% of ferroalloy futures (SF2603, SM2603) when the price of silicon - iron is 5800 - 6000 and silicon - manganese is 6000 - 6200. For procurement management, buy 25% of ferroalloy futures when the price of silicon - iron is 5200 - 5300 and silicon - manganese is 5300 - 5400 [5]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Attention Events 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: Ferroalloys are in a production - cut trend; magnesium ingot production in October increased by 21.96% month - on - month; downstream steel profits are gradually improving; anti - involution competition news and green - low - carbon transformation policies [6][7]. - **Negative Information**: Steel mill profit margins fell below 40%, and the risk of negative feedback is increasing; hot metal production is decreasing, reducing ferroalloy demand; ferroalloy enterprise inventories are increasing [7]. 2.2 Next Week's Important Events - Next Monday: China's November year - on - year growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods and November year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value of enterprises above designated size. - Next Tuesday: The US November unemployment rate and non - farm payrolls. Chapter 3: Disk Interpretation 3.1 Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation - **Unilateral Trends and Capital Movements**: Analyzed the closing prices and positions of silicon - iron and silicon - manganese [8][9]. - **Basis and Calendar Spread Structure**: The term structure of ferroalloys generally shows a contango structure, with the silicon - iron contract in a backwardation structure at certain stages. The basis has narrow fluctuations, and the 1 - 5 calendar spread may weaken further [10][11]. Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking in the Industry Chain - Downstream demand is weakening, and ferroalloy production enterprises are gradually incurring losses. The market expects ferroalloy production to continue to decrease [27]. 4.2 Import and Export Profit Tracking - Analyzed the relationship between silicon - iron export profit and export volume [57]. Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projections 5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projections - Supply: Ferroalloy production is expected to decline due to weakening downstream demand and falling production profits. - Demand: The demand for ferroalloys is expected to decrease as hot metal production declines. - Inventory: High inventory levels require production cuts for destocking [58]. 5.2 Supply - Side and Projections - Ferroalloy production is affected by production profits and seasonal patterns, and is expected to maintain a decreasing trend [62]. 5.3 Demand - Side and Projections - The demand for ferroalloys is related to hot metal production, steel enterprise profitability, and the production of downstream products such as magnesium ingots and steel products [66][68]. 5.4 Inventory - Side and Projections - The inventory of ferroalloys is at a high level, and the inventory of silicon - iron and silicon - manganese is expected to change according to production and demand [82][89].
