1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The prices of each monthly contract of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) futures first fluctuated upward, then dropped to a short - term low and rebounded again. Except for EC2510, the prices of other monthly contracts slightly recovered. From the perspective of the positions of the top 20 institutions in the exchange, the long positions of the EC2510 contract increased by 1960 lots to 28074 lots, the short positions increased by 2913 lots to 34037 lots, and the trading volume increased by 28898 lots to 83222 lots (bilateral). The Sino - US economic and trade talks basically continued the previously agreed tariff levels, having a neutral - slightly - positive impact on market sentiment. Commodity sentiment also drove up the EC price. However, some major shipping companies still lowered the spot freight rates, which set an upper limit on the increase of EC and brought certain negative factors to the market, causing the futures price to fall after rising to a certain level. For the future market, it is expected that the EC will likely fluctuate slightly downward, but the impact of commodity sentiment and the capital side needs to be vigilant [1]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - Trump's tariff threat is essentially a political gaming tool with a weak intention to block Russian oil, and its impact on the crude oil market will be limited to short - term emotional shocks. Geopolitical risk events have a short - term impact on the crude oil market and cannot reverse the overall trend. After the macro super - week, as major macro uncertainties are gradually eliminated, the market logic will shift more towards fundamentals [1][12]. Summary by Directory Policy Nature: Political Gaming Takes Precedence over Energy Blockade - The core logic of the US's secondary sanctions signal against Russia is more of a geopolitical pressure tool rather than a substantial energy blockade. The measure of imposing a 100% tariff on countries like China, India, and Brazil that purchase Russian oil has more political intent than actual enforcement effectiveness. Trump chose to start sanctions through an executive order, leaving a 10 - 12 - day negotiation window and room for flexible adjustment. Considering the export and import structures between relevant countries and the US, the sanctions are likely to stay at the level of "extreme pressure", creating a market expectation of "high threat, low execution" [2]. Historical Reference: The "Pulse - like Impact - Rapid Fading" Path of January Sanctions - The Biden administration's sanctions on Russian oil tankers in January this year can be regarded as a preview of the current situation. Although it initially caused Brent crude to jump 6.8% to $81.2 per barrel in 3 trading days, the actual effect was quickly disproven. - There were structural loopholes in the evasion mechanism. Countries like India and Turkey used old tankers for STS transfer, and China and Russia increased the proportion of RMB settlement. Some ports quickly took over the unloading demand of Russian oil [3]. - The market expectation self - corrected. After the 5th trading day of the sanctions announcement, the oil price started to decline because the actual export volume did not drop significantly. Russia adjusted its export structure, and the overall export volume quickly recovered. The freight increase was lower than expected [4]. - Fundamentals played the ultimate leading role. During the sanctions, OPEC+ maintained a production cut of 160 million barrels per day, US shale oil production was stable, and OECD commercial inventories rose, which jointly suppressed the upward space of oil prices. Brent crude returned to the $75 - 80 range within a week. Compared with the current situation, the market has a higher tolerance for geopolitical disturbances, and short - term sharp fluctuations are unlikely to reappear [6]. Market Focus Shift: The OPEC+ Meeting Will Reshape the Oil Price Logic - As the Fed's interest - rate decision in July becomes clear, the crude oil market logic is accelerating its return to fundamentals. The OPEC+ meeting on August 3 will be a key turning point. - The continuity of the production - cut agreement is a focus. Whether Saudi Arabia will extend its voluntary production cut of 100 million barrels per day is crucial. Maintaining the current policy may support the oil price, while relaxation may suppress the geopolitical premium. OPEC+ core members have already restored 191.9 million barrels per day of production, and the remaining voluntary production - cut quota is only 24.5 million barrels per day [7]. - Russia's production statement is important. Despite the sanctions threat, Russia's crude oil production has been stable. If it promises to maintain production discipline at the meeting, it will strengthen the market's expectation of supply tightness. However, the impact of sanctions on global supply is limited due to Russia's adjusted export structure [8]. - The signal of idle - capacity release is significant. Saudi Arabia has about 300 million barrels per day of idle capacity. Whether it hints at increasing production in the fourth quarter will directly affect the medium - and long - term oil price trend. The market generally expects OPEC+ to approve a production increase of 54.8 million barrels per day in September, which may exacerbate the concern of oversupply. OPEC+ decisions usually have a 4 - 6 - week impact on oil prices, longer than the short - term impact of geopolitical events [9]. Viewpoint Summary: Short - Term Disturbances Do Not Change the Medium - Term Pattern - Trump's tariff threat is a short - term emotional shock. Geopolitical risk events have a short - term impact on the crude oil market and cannot reverse the overall trend. As the OPEC+ meeting approaches, the market logic is shifting from geopolitical gaming to fundamentals. The global crude oil market shows a "tight balance" feature, and factors such as stable US shale oil production and rising OECD inventories restrict the upside space of oil prices. Investors should rationally view the current geopolitical premium, hedge the emotional premium in the short term, and focus on structural opportunities after the OPEC+ meeting in the medium term [12].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The supply side of asphalt has slightly declined due to the shutdown of some refineries and the conversion to producing residual oil. In terms of inventory structure, factory warehouses are reducing inventory while social warehouses are slow in destocking. Speculative demand is weakening, and traders are actively reducing inventory. The basis in Shandong and East China has weakened due to the expected increase in the operating rate, but the cracking spread remains high. Currently, the demand side is still in the off - season due to rainfall, and the overall fundamentals have weakened month - on - month. On a single - side basis, the absolute price shows a volatile trend because the cost - end crude oil performs strongly, and the month - spread, basis, and cracking have all weakened to a certain extent. In the medium - to - long - term, the demand side will enter the peak season as the construction conditions improve in the north and south in August. The debt - resolution progress of local governments in 2025 is accelerating, and the funds are alleviated. As it is the final stage of the "14th Five - Year Plan", the number of projects is guaranteed, so the peak season is still expected. The short - term "anti - involution" has little impact on the asphalt cost side, and follow - up attention should be paid to the progress of specific measures for the asphalt industry chain. There are also rumors of consumption tax pilot reform in an individual refinery in Shandong, and its progress should be monitored [2] Summary by Related Catalogs Asphalt Price and Volatility - The predicted monthly price range of the asphalt main contract is 3400 - 3750, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 22.30% and a historical percentile (3 - year) of 8.95% [1] Asphalt Risk Management Strategy - **Inventory Management**: When the finished - product inventory is high and there are concerns about asphalt price drops, for enterprises with long spot exposure, they can short the asphalt futures (bu2509) according to their inventory situation to lock in profits and make up for production costs. The recommended selling ratio is 25%, and the suggested entry range is 3650 - 3750 [1] - **Procurement Management**: When the regular procurement inventory is low and enterprises hope to purchase according to order situations, for those with short spot exposure, they can buy asphalt futures (bu2509) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance. The recommended buying ratio is 50%, and the suggested entry range is 3300 - 3400 [1] Market Data of Asphalt Price and Basis - **Spot Price**: On July 30, 2025, the Shandong spot price was 3785 yuan/ton (a daily increase of 10 yuan/ton and a weekly decrease of 60 yuan/ton), the Yangtze River Delta spot price was 3780 yuan/ton (no daily or weekly change), the North China spot price was 3720 yuan/ton (a daily increase of 10 yuan/ton and a weekly decrease of 10 yuan/ton), and the South China spot price was 3580 yuan/ton (no daily or weekly change) [3] - **Spot 09 Basis**: On July 30, 2025, the Shandong spot 09 basis was 166 yuan/ton (a daily increase of 10 yuan/ton and a weekly decrease of 85 yuan/ton), the Yangtze River Delta spot 09 basis was 161 yuan/ton (no daily or weekly change), the North China spot 09 basis was 101 yuan/ton (a daily increase of 10 yuan/ton and a weekly decrease of 35 yuan/ton), and the South China spot 09 basis was - 39 yuan/ton (no daily or weekly change) [3][6] - **Cracking Spread**: On July 30, 2025, the Shandong spot cracking spread against Brent was 133.3921 yuan/barrel (a daily increase of 1.7329 yuan/barrel and a weekly decrease of 41.7873 yuan/barrel), and the futures main contract cracking spread against Brent was 104.6263 yuan/barrel (no daily change and a weekly decrease of 27.0577 yuan/barrel) [6] Factors Affecting the Asphalt Market - **Positive Factors**: The pressure on asphalt factory warehouses is small, providing a basis for manufacturers to support prices; there is a seasonal peak in demand; the operating rate is at a low level, and there is an expectation of rush - work in the south; the "anti - involution" atmosphere is strong, and there is a strong expectation of capacity reduction [3][5] - **Negative Factors**: The arrival of Venezuelan heavy crude oil (Merey) in recent days has increased; the short - term plum rain season in the south has dragged down demand; the destocking of social warehouses has slowed down, and the basis has weakened; the consumption tax reform in Shandong may drive up the operating rate [5]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Copper prices recently rose and then fell. The rise was due to the positive impact of domestic anti - involution on commodities and increased copper demand expectations from the Yajiang Hydropower Station project. However, the short - term impact of these two factors on copper should be limited. The increase may be due to funds overflowing from other sectors. In the short term, as the anti - involution hype fades, copper prices may decline slightly. This week is a macro super - week with significant events that will cause large price fluctuations in the last week of July [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Copper Price Volatility and Risk Management - The latest copper price is 78,840 yuan/ton, with a monthly price range forecast of 73,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints - The recent rise in tin prices was mainly due to the boost to the non - ferrous metals sector from anti - involution, with no significant change in its own fundamentals. Given the oligopoly in the upstream and its suppression of the downstream, the price increase is understandable. In the short term, as the anti - involution hype fades, tin prices may decline slightly. Investors should also note the impact of various macro events in the last week of July on tin prices [3] 3.

The comprehensive production profit of the four major types of paper is low, the operating rate is low, and there is new production capacity coming online. There is a large short - term surplus pressure. The demand side cannot foresee a long - term significant increase [4] - Seasonally, after entering August, it gradually becomes the downstream consumption peak season, which will boost the demand for paper pulp to some extent.
