Report Information - Report Name: Nanhua Futures Tin Risk Management Daily Report - Date: July 21, 2025 - Research Team: Nanhua Non - ferrous Metals Research Team [1] Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - Tin prices rose passively, and there is still some pressure above [3]. Key Points by Content 1. Tin Price Volatility and Risk Management - **Price Volatility**: The latest closing price of tin is 267,250 yuan/ton, the monthly price range forecast is 245,000 - 263,000 yuan/ton, the current volatility is 14.08%, and the current volatility historical percentile is 25.1% [2]. - **Risk Management Suggestions**: - **Inventory Management**: For high - level finished product inventory and fear of price decline, sell 75% of Shanghai Tin main futures contracts at around 275,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of SN2509C275000 call options when volatility is appropriate [2]. - **Raw Material Management**: For low - level raw material inventory and fear of price increase, buy 50% of Shanghai Tin main futures contracts at around 230,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of SN2509P245000 put options when volatility is appropriate [2]. 2. Factors Affecting Tin Prices - **Positive Factors**: Sino - US tariff policy relaxation, semiconductor sector in expansion cycle, Myanmar's resumption of production falling short of expectations, and anti - involution benefiting the entire non - ferrous metal sector [4]. - **Negative Factors**: Tariff policy fluctuation, inflow of Myanmar tin ore into China, and the semiconductor sector's expansion slowing down and moving towards a contraction cycle [5][6]. 3. Nanhua's View on Tin Prices - Tin prices are still in an overall oscillating trend recently. The macro - level US tariff policy change has limited impact on tin. In the short term, considering the imminent outflow of Myanmar ore and no signs of further improvement in downstream demand, the view that the upward pressure on tin prices is greater than the downward support still holds [7]. 4.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The external market strengthened under the expectation of Sino-US talks, and the domestic market followed the positive spread logic. The rapeseed sector was relatively strong due to short - term supply - demand mismatch. There is still a gap in fourth - quarter vessel bookings, and the overall meal prices will reach an inflection point this year. From a valuation perspective, the downside space of US soybeans at the cost end is limited, and with the expectation of a resilient Brazilian premium, the far - month futures prices are expected to receive marginal upward driving forces [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Price Range Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for soybean meal is 2800 - 3300, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 11.4% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 13.2%.

The rapeseed sector was relatively strong due to short - term supply - demand mismatch. There is a gap in fourth - quarter vessel bookings, and meal prices will reach an inflection point.

The futures market lacks short - selling pressure due to the roll - over of hedging positions. - The arrivals in July, August, and September are 11.5 million tons, 11 million tons, and 10 million tons respectively, with a gap after December. - The rapeseed meal inventory is increasing slightly, the near - month futures warehouse receipt pressure is easing, and there are short - term supply rhythm issues. The market has rebounded. The market has repeatedly priced in the information of Sino - Canadian and Sino - Australian meetings, and attention should be paid to the recovery of rapeseed supply [6]. 3.6 Futures Prices | Futures Contract | Closing Price | Daily Change | Change Rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Soybean Meal 01 | 3087 | 9 | 0.29% | | Soybean Meal 05 | 2752 | 8 | 0.29% | | Soybean Meal 09 | 3069 | 13 | 0.43% | | Rapeseed Meal 01 | 2415 | 21 | 0.88% | | Rapeseed Meal 05 | 2366 | 14 | 0.6% | | Rapeseed Meal 09 | 2727 | 5 | 0.18% | [7] 3.7 CBOT and Exchange Rate - CBOT yellow soybeans are at 1035 with no change (0%).

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - Urea is in a situation with support below and suppression above. The 09 contract is expected to fluctuate strongly. In the short - term, it may follow the overall strength of commodities. In the medium - term, with the gradual opening of the export channel, there may be a phased rebound, but the agricultural demand is gradually weakening, and the fundamentals will continue to be under pressure in the second half of the year [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Urea Price and Volatility - The price range forecast for urea in the monthly period is 1650 - 1950, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 27.16% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 62.1%. For methanol, the price range is 2200 - 2400, volatility is 20.01%, and historical percentile is 51.2%. For polypropylene and plastic, the price range is 6800 - 7400, with volatility of 10.56% and 15.24% respectively, and historical percentiles of 42.2% and 78.5% [3] 3.2 Urea Hedging Strategies - **Inventory Management**: When the finished product inventory is high and there are concerns about urea price drops, for a long - position inventory, to prevent inventory superposition losses, 25% of UR2509 can be sold at 1800 - 1950 to lock in profits. Also, 50% of UR2509P1850 can be bought at 15 - 20, and 50% of UR2509C1950 can be sold at 45 - 60 to prevent price drops and reduce capital costs [3] - **Procurement Management**: When the procurement standing inventory is low and procurement is based on orders, for a short - position inventory, 50% of UR2509 can be bought at 1750 - 1900 to prevent price increases and lock in procurement costs. 75% of UR2509P1750 can be sold at 20 - 25 to collect premiums and lock in the purchase price if the price drops [3] 3.3 Core Contradictions - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote key industries to adjust the structure, optimize supply, and eliminate backward production capacity, driving the overall strength of commodities. Urea may follow this trend in the short - term. In the medium - term, with export提货 by traders, inventory is unlikely to accumulate significantly, and factory quotes are rising slightly, supporting the price. However, agricultural demand is weakening, and the fundamentals will be under pressure in the second half of the year [4] 3.4利多 and 利空 Interpretations - **利多**: Urea exports have been confirmed. In a market with strong speculation, the futures are expected to show wide - range fluctuations, and the lower support has increased [4] - **利空**: Domestic policies require factories to sell urea at low prices, which has a negative impact on the spot market sentiment [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints - The lithium ore, lithium salt, and battery cell markets are under significant inventory pressure, and the de - stocking process is slow. The long - term supply - demand imbalance has not been substantially alleviated [3]. - There are two short - term logics in the market: a negative feedback loop of "lithium salt price drop - ore price decline - lithium salt price drop again" and a step - by - step upward chain of "futures price increase - production capacity release - increased ore consumption - ore price increase" [3]. - The futures market in the second half of the year is expected to be divided into two phases: the futures price will fluctuate upward in early Q3 due to improved macro - sentiment, supply disruptions, and the "off - season not so off" phenomenon; in Q4, the futures price is expected to decline as technological upgrades are completed and production volume is concentratedly released [3]. - There are both positive and negative factors affecting the market. Positive factors include improved macro - sentiment, supply - side disruptions, and the market trading of the contradiction between high open interest and low warrant numbers. Negative factors include high future lithium ore production expectations, continuous inventory accumulation, and industrial technology upgrades [3][5]. Summary by Directory Futures Data - **Futures Price and Volume**: The closing price of the lithium carbonate futures main contract was 71,280 yuan/ton, with a daily increase of 1,320 yuan (1.89%) and a weekly increase of 4,800 yuan (7.22%).

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Title: Nanhua Futures Asphalt Risk Management Daily Report [1] - Date: July 21, 2025 [1] - Analyst: Ling Chuanhui (Investment Consulting License No.: Z0019531) [1] - Investment Consulting Business Qualification: CSRC License [2011] No. 1290 [1] Group 2: Price and Volatility - The predicted monthly price range of the asphalt main contract is 3400 - 3750 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 22.30% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 39.16% [2] Group 3: Risk Management Strategies Inventory Management - For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, they can short sell the bu2509 asphalt futures to lock in profits and cover production costs, with a selling ratio of 25% and an entry range of 3650 - 3750 yuan/ton [2] Procurement Management - For enterprises with low regular procurement inventory and aiming to purchase based on orders, they can buy the bu2509 asphalt futures to lock in procurement costs in advance, with a buying ratio of 50% and an entry range of 3300 - 3400 yuan/ton [2] Group 4: Core Contradictions - The asphalt supply - demand situation remains stable. Factory inventories are decreasing, while social inventories are decreasing slowly. Speculative demand is weakening, and traders are actively reducing inventory. The basis in Shandong and East China has weakened due to increased production rates, and the crack spread remains high. Currently, supply growth exceeds expectations, and demand is in the off - season due to rainfall, causing the overall fundamentals to weaken month - on - month. However, due to the strong performance of crude oil on the cost side, the absolute price shows an oscillating trend, and the month - spread, basis, and crack spread have all weakened to some extent. In the long - term, demand will pick up as construction conditions improve in August, and the peak construction season arrives. The debt - resolution progress of local governments in 2025 is accelerating, and funds are easing. With the "14th Five - Year Plan" nearing completion, project numbers are guaranteed, and the peak season is still expected. In the short - term, the market sentiment has improved due to the expectation of eliminating backward production capacity [3] Group 5: Price and Basis Data Spot Prices - On July 21, 2025, the Shandong spot price was 3855 yuan/ton (up 35 yuan/day, 45 yuan/week), the Yangtze River Delta spot price was 3780 yuan/ton (unchanged), the North China spot price was 3750 yuan/ton (unchanged), and the South China spot price was 3590 yuan/ton (down 10 yuan/day, 20 yuan/week) [6] Basis - The Shandong spot 09 basis was 198 yuan/ton (up 33 yuan/day, 34 yuan/week), the Yangtze River Delta spot 09 basis was 123 yuan/ton (down 2 yuan/day, 11 yuan/week), the North China spot 09 basis was 93 yuan/ton (down 2 yuan/day, 11 yuan/week), and the South China spot 09 basis was - 67 yuan/ton (down 12 yuan/day, 31 yuan/week) [6][9] Crack Spread - The Shandong spot crack spread against Brent was 171.0588 yuan/barrel (up 6.0027 yuan/day, 6.6955 yuan/week), and the futures main contract crack spread against Brent was 136.7478 yuan/barrel (up 0.2843 yuan/day, 0.8038 yuan/week) [9] Group 6: Factors Affecting the Market Bullish Factors - Low pressure on asphalt factory inventories provides a basis for manufacturers to support prices; demand seasonal peak season; low production starts with expectations of catch - up construction in the South; strong atmosphere of eliminating backward production capacity [8] Bearish Factors - After the end of maintenance, production at some refineries resumes; short - term demand is dragged down by the plum - rain season in the South; slow reduction of social inventories and weakening basis [8]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The current market has entered the fruit expansion period of apples. It is estimated that there is a high possibility that the overall market will maintain a volatile pattern from June to August. Attention should be paid to the opening price of early - maturing apples. Currently, the opening price of early - maturing apples is higher than last year and they are selling well, while the price of stored apples is dropping and they are not selling well [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Apple Price and Volatility - The monthly price range prediction for apples is 7650 - 7950, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 10.5% and a current volatility historical percentile (3 - year) of 1.4% [3]. Apple Risk Management Strategies - **Inventory Management**: For those worried about a national bumper harvest of new apples and low purchase prices, with a long spot position, they can short apple futures (AP2510) to lock in profits and cover production costs, with a hedging ratio of 25% and a recommended entry range of 7900 - 7950 [3]. - **Procurement Management**: For those worried about a decline in old - crop apple inventory and a new - crop apple减产, with a short spot position, they can buy apple futures (AP2510) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance, with a hedging ratio of 25% [3]. Core Contradictions - The market is in the apple fruit expansion period, with few trading points on the disk. The market is likely to be volatile from June to August. Early - maturing apples have a higher opening price than last year and sell well, while stored apples have falling prices and poor sales [4]. Bullish Factors - The inventory in apple - producing areas is at a historical low. The low initial inventory and faster - than - usual de - stocking speed have led to a continuous decline in inventory, which supports the market [5]. - Unstable weather in the producing areas has attracted capital attention. Research data shows that the fruit - setting situation in the northwest producing areas is poor, and there may be a significant减产 [8]. Bearish Factors - The overall减产 amplitude from bagging data is less than expected, and some data even shows an expected increase in production [8]. - As the peak season of seasonal fruits arrives, the large supply of fruits like watermelons, grapes, and lychees at low prices impacts the apple market. Also, high - priced apples face a situation of "high price but no market", indicating weak consumption [6][8]. Apple Inventory and Market Data - On July 18, 2025, the national cold - storage inventory according to Steel Union was 80.6 (with a weekly change of - 10.89), and according to Zhuochuang was 100.07 (with a weekly change of - 8.76). The storage capacity ratios in Shandong, Shaanxi, and Gansu also decreased [9]. - The arrival volume of apples at some wholesale markets in Guangdong showed changes, such as 18 vehicles at Guangdong Chalong (a weekly increase of 2) [9]. Apple Futures and Spot Price Changes - On July 18, 2025, the closing prices and daily/weekly price changes of different apple futures contracts (AP01, AP03, etc.) are provided, as well as the prices and price changes of different grades of spot apples in various regions [6].
