1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, zinc prices were driven by LME at the beginning of the week, with SHFE zinc breaking through upwards and then maintaining high - level oscillations. The macro - sentiment is neutral this week. The US government shutdown makes it difficult to predict subsequent interest rate cuts due to data shortages, and Powell's hawkish speech reduces the expectation of interest rate cuts. Although some US economic data shows weakness, the ADP data slightly eases labor concerns. The US dollar index breaks through 100 due to liquidity tightness, suppressing the upside of non - ferrous metals [2]. - Fundamentally, on the supply side, domestic smelters' winter storage is not over, and raw materials are tight in the short term. TC is under pressure, slightly suppressing the willingness to start production, but refined zinc production is still at a historical high, with a projected slight decline in November. Overseas, refined zinc remains in a tight supply pattern, and LME inventories continue to decline. On the demand side, there is no suitable driving force in the short term, and it remains stable. Looking ahead, although the supply is still stronger than demand, there is expected to be some improvement in November due to the opening of the export window and the compression of smelting profits. It is expected to be mainly in a relatively strong oscillatory pattern, so attention should be paid to macro data and the supply - demand game [2]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - **Macro - level**: The US government shutdown affects interest rate cut predictions. Powell's hawkish speech reduces the expectation of interest rate cuts. US economic data shows mixed signals, and the high - level oscillation of the US dollar index suppresses non - ferrous metals [2]. - **Fundamental - level**: - **Supply**: Domestic smelters' winter storage leads to short - term raw material tightness. TC decline may slightly suppress production start - up in November, but production is still at a high level. Overseas, supply is tight, and LME inventories are decreasing. - **Demand**: There is no short - term driving force, remaining stable. In the near - term, the zinc market's fundamentals are mixed. In the long - term, macro factors are generally optimistic, but the demand side needs support from infrastructure and real estate [2][5][7]. 3.1.2 Trading - type Strategy Recommendations - **Market Positioning**: The current SHFE zinc main contract is in a relatively strong oscillatory pattern, with potential upward drivers influenced by exports and macro factors. The pressure level is around 23,000 yuan/ton, and the support level is around 22,200 yuan/ton. The trading volume and open interest are neutral [10][11]. - **Short - term Futures Strategy**: High - sell and low - buy within the range. Lightly go long around 22,200 - 22,300 yuan/ton with a stop - loss around 22,100 yuan/ton; go short around 22,900 - 23,000 yuan/ton with a stop - loss around 23,100 yuan/ton. Due to the strong prediction of zinc prices in November, short - selling is not recommended for now [11]. - **Short - term Options Strategy**: Mainly adopt the option double - selling strategy [11]. - **Basis, Calendar Spread, and Hedging Arbitrage Strategy Recommendations**: - **Basis Strategy**: Although the current basis is at a historical low, due to weak fundamentals, going long on the basis is not recommended. - **Calendar Spread Strategy**: There is currently no recommendation. - **Hedging Arbitrage Strategy**: With the strong overseas and weak domestic market, the internal - external price difference is expanding. Consider cross - market arbitrage, specifically selling overseas and buying domestically, and it is advisable to enter the market now [12]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Short - term Futures Strategy**: It has been continuously profitable, and the point prediction has been accurate in the past two weeks. - **Options Strategy**: Adopt the wide - straddle options strategy. - **Internal - External Arbitrage Strategy**: It is advisable to enter the market. - **Zinc Risk Management Recommendations**: - **Inventory Management**: For high finished - product inventory, worry about price drops. Sell 75% of the SHFE zinc main contract at 22,700 yuan/ton. - **Raw Material Management**: For low raw - material inventory, worry about price increases. Buy 50% of the SHFE zinc main contract at 21,700 yuan/ton [17][18]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Attention Events 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: SHFE zinc inventories are decreasing; domestic processing fees TC are accelerating their decline; the export window for domestic zinc ingots is open, and SMM predicts an export volume of about 10,000 tons in October; LME inventories are continuously decreasing; LME spot premiums remain at a high level [19][20]. - **Negative Information**: The downstream开工率 in the domestic market is declining, and the domestic spot premium is weak, reflecting weak actual demand [21]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - **Chinese Data and Events**: China's October M2/social financing data (expected to be announced between the 10th and 13th); SMM/Mysteel domestic social inventory update on the 10th; SHFE/SMM weekly inventory data on the 14th. - **International Data and Events**: US October PPI and retail sales data; speeches by multiple Fed officials on inflation and employment; actual changes in China's export volume and LME inventories (especially Asian warehouses) [23]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Price - Volume and Fund Interpretation - **Internal Market**: Zinc prices oscillated at a high level this week, closing at 22,720 yuan/ton. Profitable positions are mainly long in net positions. The domestic basis - calendar spread structure is stable, and the SHFE zinc term structure maintains a C structure [24][26]. - **External Market**: LME zinc was relatively strong this week, closing at 3,057.5 US dollars/ton. Investment companies and credit institutions hold a large proportion of positions, and the LME zinc term structure maintains a B structure due to inventory tightness [28][34]. - **Internal - External Price Difference Tracking**: The internal - external price difference continues to expand, mainly due to the difference in fundamentals between the two markets [36]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking in the Industry Chain Zinc concentrate processing fees continue to decline in November, and the smelting start - up rate is expected to decline slightly [38]. 3.4.2 Import - Export Profit Tracking In September, zinc ore imports reached 505,400 tons, a slight increase. Currently, due to the influence of domestic smelting start - up rates, zinc ore imports are at a five - year high. However, due to the weakening internal - external price ratio, the profit of imported ores is poor, and importers are more inclined to wait and see [41]. 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 3.5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Deduction - **Zinc Concentrate Monthly Balance**: The actual consumption exceeds production and imports in most months, showing a supply - demand gap [43][44]. - **Refined Zinc Monthly Balance**: The production, net imports, and consumption data show different supply - demand balances in different months, with some months having a surplus and others a deficit [44]. 3.5.2 Supply - side and Deduction In November, domestic supply enters the winter storage period. Imported ores are in a state of continuous loss, and raw materials are expected to be tight, with a slight decline in the start - up rate [46]. 3.5.3 Demand - side and Deduction The开工率 this week was stable [52].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - In the short term, due to weak terminal acceptance and seasonal decline in demand, coal and coke prices may face adjustments. However, in the medium to long term, policies restricting over - production and safety inspections will limit the supply elasticity of coking coal. Coupled with winter storage, the downward adjustment space of coking coal spot may be limited. Coal and coke are suitable as long - positions in the black commodity sector [2]. - The recommended trading ranges are 1100 - 1350 for coking coal and 1600 - 1850 for coke. Consider taking partial profits when the prices rebound to the upper end of the ranges [2]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - **Short - term situation**: Recent downstream restocking and reduced mine production have improved coking coal inventory. However, steel mills are in deeper losses, with more planned maintenance, leading to a decline in hot metal production and seasonal weakening of coal and coke demand. Spot valuations are considered too high, and restocking demand has peaked [2]. - **Long - term outlook**: Policies on over - production inspection and safety will limit coking coal supply elasticity. Winter storage is expected to support prices, and coal and coke can be long - positions in the black commodity sector [2]. 1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - **Base - spread strategy**: Coking coal basis is high, and end - users with procurement plans can consider buying hedging on the futures market. Coke basis has strengthened, and no cash - and - carry arbitrage strategy is recommended [8]. - **Calendar - spread strategy**: The 1 - 5 reverse spread for coking coal is suspended. It is recommended to wait and see due to unclear reverse - spread logic [8]. - **Hedging and arbitrage strategy**: Short the coking profit on the futures market, with an entry range of 1.5 - 1.55 for the 01 coke/coking coal ratio [8]. 1.3 Industry Customer Operation Recommendations - **Inventory hedging**: Coke producers worried about price drops can short the J2601 contract, with different hedging ratios and entry ranges [11]. - **Procurement management**: Coking plants concerned about rising raw material prices can long the JM2605 contract, with different hedging ratios and entry ranges [11]. 1.4 Basic Data Overview - **Coking coal supply**: Some mining indicators such as 523 mine coking coal production and 314 coal washery production have changed. Inventory has also changed, with an overall increase in total coking coal inventory [12]. - **Coke supply**: Coke production and inventory have changed, with a decrease in total coke inventory [12]. - **Prices**: Spot and futures prices of coking coal and coke, as well as related profit indicators, have shown different trends [13][14][15]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive news**: CPI increased in October, coke prices were raised, and coking coal prices in some areas rose [17]. - **Negative news**: Scrap steel prices dropped, steel mill profitability declined, and steel consumption decreased [18]. 2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - Monitor China's October M2 money supply growth rate, US October CPI, initial jobless claims, China's October retail sales, and industrial added - value [19]. Chapter 3: Futures Market Interpretation 3.1 Price, Volume, and Capital Interpretation - **Unilateral trend**: The coking coal futures main contract failed to break through the resistance level and may enter a wide - range oscillation [19]. - **Capital flow**: Coking coal long - position holders took profits, and short - positions in coke increased, indicating a cautious market sentiment [21]. - **Calendar - spread structure**: The 1 - 5 positive spread for coking coal has strengthened, and it is recommended to wait and see for the reverse spread [26]. - **Base - spread structure**: Coking coal basis is high, suitable for buying hedging. Coke basis has strengthened, with neutral valuation [32]. Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Industry Chain Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking - Since July, upstream coking coal mines' profits have improved, while downstream coking and steel - making profits have deteriorated. Coke price increases have not significantly improved coking profits, and steel mills are reluctant to accept further price hikes [44]. 4.2 Import and Export Profit Tracking - Mongolian coal long - term contract trade profits have recovered, and customs clearance has increased. Seaborne coal import profits have improved, and coal shipments are expected to remain high [46][49]. Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projections 5.1 Supply Side and Projections - Coking coal production growth in the fourth quarter is limited, with an estimated weekly production of 960 - 965 tons in November. Import supply is expected to remain high, with an estimated net import of 980 - 1000 tons in November [63]. - Coke production is expected to be 763 - 767 tons per week in November, and exports are linearly extrapolated [65]. 5.2 Demand Side and Projections - Due to shrinking steel mill profits, the estimated daily hot metal production in November is 230 - 232 tons [68]. 5.3 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projections - Coking coal and coke supply - demand balance sheets show changes in production, imports, supply, and inventory over different weeks [70].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - The current market presents a situation of "weak reality vs strong cost." Both glass and soda ash are in a pattern of strong supply and weak demand, but cost and policy expectations still support far - month prices [1][6]. - For glass, the 01 contract is considered to be in an oversupply situation. The mid - stream has high inventory and slow destocking. Cold - repair expectations may affect soda ash demand. For soda ash, it is mainly priced by cost, and there is a downward expectation for rigid demand due to potential glass cold - repairs [1]. - The market is affected by structural contradictions, real - world conditions, and supply disturbances. Near - end trading focuses on weak reality and strong cost, while far - end trading anticipates cost increases and supply contractions [1][3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - Structural contradictions exist. In the glass market, the coal - to - gas conversion in Shahe has led to the shutdown of 4 production lines with a total daily melting volume of 2400 tons, and the daily melting volume has dropped to 159,100 tons. The market is still considered oversupplied. For soda ash, it is cost - priced, and without production cuts, its valuation lacks upward flexibility. The rigid demand for soda ash may decline due to potential glass cold - repairs [1]. - In reality, the sales of glass manufacturers have weakened after price increases, and the inventory of traders and in Shahe and Hubei remains high, which may cause a negative feedback. Soda ash maintains a high - production and high - inventory pattern, with obvious oversupply, but there is cost support in the long - term [1]. - Supply disturbances exist. In November, besides the coal - to - gas conversion in Shahe, unexpected cold - repair plans and supply disruptions in the glass industry need to be monitored [2]. 3.1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - Trend judgment: The overall fundamental situation is weak, but cost and policy expectations support far - month prices [6]. - Price range prediction: The price range for the glass 2601 contract is (900, 1300), and for the soda ash 2601 contract is (1100, 1500). It is recommended to avoid unilateral strategies and conduct band operations within these ranges [9]. - Month - spread strategy: Without unexpected production cuts, continue to focus on the 1 - 5 reverse spread [9]. - Hedging and arbitrage strategy: Temporarily wait and see [9]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - Glass and soda ash price range prediction: Glass 2601 contract (900, 1300), soda ash 2601 contract (1100, 1500). - Strategy suggestions: Avoid unilateral strategies and conduct band operations within the above - mentioned ranges. For the month - spread strategy, continue to focus on the 1 - 5 reverse spread without unexpected production cuts. Temporarily wait and see for the hedging and arbitrage strategy [9]. - Hedging strategies: Different hedging strategies are provided for inventory management and procurement management of glass and soda ash, including futures trading and option trading [10]. 3.1.4 Basic Data Overview - Glass spot prices: The average price of glass in Shahe on November 9, 2025, was 1117 yuan/ton, a decrease of 5 yuan/ton from the previous day [11]. - Glass futures prices and spreads: On November 7, 2025, the glass 01 contract was 1091 yuan/ton, a decrease of 10 yuan/ton from the previous day. The 01 - 05 month - spread was - 134 yuan/ton, a decrease of 8 yuan/ton [13]. - Soda ash spot prices and spreads: On November 7, 2025, the soda ash 01 contract was 1210 yuan/ton, an increase of 3 yuan/ton from the previous day. The 1 - 5 month - spread was - 84 yuan/ton, an increase of 2 yuan/ton [16]. 3.2 Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Attention Events 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - Positive information: None provided. - Negative information: The coal - to - gas conversion in Shahe has led to the shutdown of 4 production lines, and the daily melting volume may further decline. Although the glass sales rate has exceeded 100%, the sustainability needs to be observed [19]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Follow No specific information provided. 3.3 Chapter 3: Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Unilateral Trends and Capital Movements - The position of the glass main contract is relatively high this week, and the long - short game may continue until near the delivery. Due to fundamental limitations, the price movement range of glass and soda ash is limited [21]. 3.3.2 Basis and Month - Spread Structure - Glass: It maintains a C - structure. The near - end is weak, and the far - end may have cost increases and cold - repair expectations. The 1 - 5 reverse spread idea is maintained in logic, but attention should be paid to supply disturbances [26]. - Soda ash: It also maintains a C - structure. The industry's oversupply expectation remains unchanged. The near - end is suppressed by high production and high inventory, and the far - end may have cost increase expectations. There are few short - term month - spread opportunities [26]. 3.4 Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking in the Industrial Chain - Glass: The coal price has risen, and the theoretical cost has increased. Natural gas production lines are in a loss, while petroleum coke and coal - gas production lines still have profits. At current prices, glass factories have limited willingness to actively cold - repair [38]. - Soda ash: The price of thermal coal has risen, and the cost has increased. The cash cost of the ammonia - soda process in Shandong is around 1260 yuan/ton, and that of the combined - soda process in Central China is around 1210 yuan/ton [38]. 3.4.2 Import and Export Analysis - Glass: The monthly average net export of float glass is 6 - 70,000 tons, accounting for 1.4% of the apparent demand, with limited impact [47]. - Soda ash: The monthly average net export of soda ash is 170,000 tons, accounting for 5.8% of the apparent demand, and the proportion has increased significantly compared to last year. The export in September was over 180,000 tons, maintaining high expectations [48]. 3.5 Chapter 5: Supply, Demand, and Inventory 3.5.1 Supply - Side and Projections - Glass supply: The daily melting volume of glass has dropped to around 159,000 tons. With the continuous weakness of glass prices and environmental protection policy expectations, there may be an increase in cold - repairs in Hubei and East China [58]. - Soda ash supply: The supply has not shown unexpected fluctuations, and the current daily production of soda ash is maintained at around 105,000 tons, with high - level supply continuing [61]. 3.5.2 Demand - Side and Projections - Glass demand: After the spot price increase, the sales of manufacturers have weakened. The mid - stream has high inventory and slow destocking, which may cause a negative feedback. The glass demand is currently weak, with high inventory in the upper and middle reaches and large spot pressure [64][65]. - Soda ash demand: The rigid demand for soda ash has slightly weakened. The combined daily melting volume of float glass and photovoltaic glass is 247,200 tons, corresponding to a daily rigid demand for soda ash of about 49,000 tons. However, due to cold - repairs in float and photovoltaic glass, the rigid demand has declined month - on - month [70]. 3.5.3 Inventory Analysis - Glass: According to Longzhong data, the manufacturer's inventory is 63.136 million heavy boxes, a month - on - month decrease of 2.654 million heavy boxes, or 4.03%. The inventory days have decreased by 0.9 days to 27.1 days. The mid - stream inventory in Shahe and Hubei remains high [75]. - Soda ash: The factory inventory of soda ash is 1.7142 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 12,200 tons. The inventory in the delivery warehouse is 665,600 tons (a decrease of 11,300 tons). The total inventory of factory and delivery warehouses is 2.3798 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 900 tons. The upstream inventory is relatively stable, and the oversupply is less than expected [75][77].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The core contradiction affecting the ferroalloy market is the imbalance between high inventory and weak demand, challenges to cost support, and the gap between anti - involution expectations and weak reality. With the steel mills' profitability rate falling below 40% and iron - water production expected to decline, ferroalloy demand is likely to decrease. After the macro - sentiment fades, the ferroalloy market will return to its fundamentals of high inventory and weak demand, but will be supported by the cost side, expected to fluctuate [2]. - In the short - term, downstream finished - product inventory is accumulating seasonally, and the steel mills' profitability is declining, which may lead to a negative feedback loop in the black - metal industry, further weakening ferroalloy demand. In the long - term, the anti - involution expectation exists, but without substantial progress, there is a high risk of price fluctuations [6][10]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Chapter 1: Core Contradiction and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradiction - High inventory and weak demand: Ferroalloy production profit is declining, and the market doesn't expect further production increase. Downstream demand is entering the off - season, and both silicon ferro and silicon manganese inventories are at a five - year high, with silicon manganese inventory rising by 1.5% and silicon ferro by 9.3% week - on - week [2]. - Cost support challenges: The correlation between coking coal prices and ferroalloy prices is weakening, and the increase in coking coal prices doesn't drive up ferroalloy prices [2]. - Anti - involution expectation and weak reality: The anti - involution sentiment remains, but the high inventory and weak demand situation persists. The market is in a game between strong expectations and weak reality, with a high risk of price spikes followed by drops [2]. 3.1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: Technically, the 10 - day and 20 - day moving averages of ferroalloys are downward, and the MACD red bars are shrinking [11]. - **Price Range**: The price range of the silicon ferro main contract 2601 is 5200 - 6400, and that of the silicon manganese main contract 2601 is 5500 - 6500 [12]. - **Basis and Calendar Spread Strategies**: The basis is expected to narrow slightly, and no basis strategy is recommended. Although the 1 - 5 calendar spread of ferroalloys is at a five - year low, it's not advisable to buy the spread immediately due to high inventory and weak demand. The 1 - 5 spread may further weaken, but the risk of reverse - arbitrage is also high [12]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Price Range Forecast**: The monthly price range of silicon ferro is 5300 - 6000, and that of silicon manganese is 5300 - 6000. The current 20 - day rolling volatility of silicon ferro is 12.75% (18.8% in the three - year historical percentile), and that of silicon manganese is 9.62% (4.4% in the three - year historical percentile) [13]. - **Hedging Strategies**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory, it's recommended to short ferroalloy futures to prevent inventory depreciation. For enterprises with low procurement inventory, it's recommended to buy ferroalloy futures to lock in procurement costs [13]. 3.2 Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive News**: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is soliciting public opinions on the "Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry", with a capacity replacement ratio of at least 1.5:1. The fourth round of coke price increases has started. China's exports of automobiles, ships, and electromechanical products have increased [14]. - **Negative News**: The steel market is in a weak season, with steel mills' profitability declining, iron - water production decreasing, and the plate market having high inventory and production. Thailand has launched an anti - dumping investigation on domestic steel plates [14][15]. - **Weekly Data**: Silicon ferro production was 11410 tons (up 90 tons week - on - week), and silicon manganese production was 201880 tons (down 5845 tons week - on - week). Silicon ferro factory inventory was 78690 tons (up 6700 tons week - on - week), and silicon manganese factory inventory was 319500 tons (up 5000 tons week - on - week) [14][16]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Events to Watch - Next Monday: China's M2 money supply for October. - Next Friday: China's year - on - year growth rate of social consumer goods retail总额 and industrial added value above designated size for October. 3.3 Chapter 3: Market Analysis 3.3.1 Price, Volume, and Fund Analysis - **Unilateral Trends and Fund Movements**: The silicon ferro main contract 2601 closed at 5526, up 0.47% week - on - week, with a total open interest of 357300 lots, up 12.14% week - on - week. The silicon manganese main contract 01 closed at 5760, down 0.21% week - on - week, with a total open interest of 571100 lots, up 8.89% week - on - week. The net position of silicon ferro is short, and the net short position of silicon manganese is increasing [17]. - **Basis and Calendar Spread Structure**: The term structure of ferroalloys generally shows a contango structure, but the term structure of some silicon ferro and silicon manganese contracts is improving to a backwardation structure. The basis has been fluctuating slightly. The 1 - 5 calendar spread is at a five - year low, and it's not recommended to buy it immediately. With the anti - involution news, the 1 - 5 spread may further weaken [21][22]. 3.4 Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking - Ferroalloy production profit is declining. Silicon ferro production remains high, and there is a strong incentive for enterprises to cut production. Silicon manganese production has been falling for several weeks [37]. - The export profit of silicon ferro has improved, and its export volume is expected to increase [63]. 3.5 Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projection 3.5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projection - Supply: As the off - season approaches and production profit has been falling, there is a higher possibility of production cuts. With the arrival of the flat - water season, silicon manganese production in the southern region may decline, and overall ferroalloy production is expected to decrease [67]. - Demand: Downstream demand is entering the off - season. The profit of downstream products like rebar and hot - rolled coils is declining due to inventory accumulation, which will suppress the demand for ferroalloys. Iron - water production is likely to decline, and ferroalloy demand for steel - making may also decrease [67][77]. - Inventory: Warehouse receipts are expected to continue to decline due to forced cancellation and seasonal factors, and the total inventory will gradually decrease [67]. 3.5.2 Supply - Side Projection - Due to the decline in production profit, especially for silicon ferro, there is a strong incentive for production cuts, and the production is expected to decline slightly [69]. 3.5.3 Demand - Side Projection - The demand for ferroalloys is affected by the off - season and the decline in downstream product profit. The high iron - water production is difficult to maintain, and the demand for ferroalloys in steel - making may decrease [77]. 3.5.4 Inventory - Side Projection - Given the high operating rate of ferroalloy enterprises and weak downstream demand, enterprise inventory is likely to continue to accumulate. After the forced cancellation of warehouse receipts, new receipts will be registered, and the total inventory is expected to increase [93].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Views of the Report - The PE market is in a supply - strong and demand - weak situation in the short term, and it is expected to maintain a low - level oscillation pattern. The supply pressure continues to increase, while the demand support is insufficient. In the medium - and short - term, a bearish view is taken, and in the long - term, the supply pressure of non - standard PE products may suppress LLDPE prices [1][6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - Supply side: The pressure is continuously increasing. There are few subsequent device maintenance plans, and the start - up rate is expected to continue to rise. In the fourth quarter, new device startups are still concentrated, such as the upcoming startups of two sets of Guangxi Petrochemical's devices [1]. - Demand side: The support is insufficient. Although the agricultural film industry is in the traditional peak season, the overall start - up rate and order growth rate have slowed down. After mid - November, the growth space for demand will be limited, and other downstream industries of PE have insufficient new orders [1]. 3.1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - **Trend judgment**: Weak oscillation. The price range of L2601 is 6600 - 7000. The strategy is to short on rallies [10]. - **Basis, spread, and hedging arbitrage strategy recommendations**: No basis strategy; 1 - 5 reverse spread; short - term hedging arbitrage space is limited, and in the long - term, consider narrowing the L - P spread on the 05 contract [10]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Inventory management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory, they can short plastic futures to lock in profits and sell call options to reduce costs [11]. - **Procurement management**: For enterprises with low procurement inventory, they can buy plastic futures to lock in procurement costs and sell put options to reduce costs [11]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive information**: On Wednesday, affected by the news of gas restrictions on Iranian devices, the methanol futures market strengthened, and polyolefins briefly followed the upward trend [12]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Events to Watch - The start - up situation of two sets of Guangxi Petrochemical's devices [12]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation - **Unilateral trend and capital movement**: This week, the futures market oscillated downward. The open interest increased, and there were no obvious changes in the top five long and short positions on the order book. The net long positions of the top five profitable seats slightly increased [17]. - **Basis structure**: The spot situation in East China improved and prices stabilized, but the situations in North and South China were still weak. As of Friday, the basis in North China was - 32 yuan/ton (strengthened by 47 compared with last week), in East China was 138 yuan/ton (+107), and in South China was 248 yuan/ton (- 3) [20]. - **Spread structure**: The L1 - 5 spread shows a contango structure due to the relatively optimistic market expectation for the subsequent macro - situation and the limited start - up of LLDPE devices in the first half of next year [22]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis - With the continuous weakness of PE prices, the production profits of all production lines are compressed. Currently, the coal - based production line with the best profit is also in a loss state. Since PE devices are not very sensitive to profit conditions, short - term losses usually do not lead to unexpected shutdowns, so PE lacks strong cost - side support in a downward market [26]. 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 3.5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Deduction - The supply - strong and demand - weak pattern of PE is difficult to change. On the supply side, although device maintenance has increased recently, the high inventory capacity and the upcoming start - up of multiple devices in the fourth quarter, as well as the expected increase in imports after October, will further increase the total supply of PE. On the demand side, although the production and sales of agricultural films are still good, the subsequent growth is limited, and the support from other downstream industries of PE will gradually weaken [31]. 3.5.2 Supply - Side and Its Deduction - The current PE start - up rate is 82.56% (+1.69%). Multiple devices such as Fushun Petrochemical and ExxonMobil restarted at the beginning of the month, and the device maintenance volume decreased. It is expected that the device maintenance volume will continue to decrease, and with the upcoming start - up of two sets of Guangxi Petrochemical's devices, the supply pressure of PE will remain high [38]. 3.5.3 Import - Export and Its Deduction - **Import**: The overseas market is in a loose pattern, and the continuous decline in PE prices has led to an influx of low - price goods into China. Therefore, PE imports are expected to increase in the fourth quarter [43]. - **Export**: Enterprises' enthusiasm for expanding export channels is high this year, and PE exports have increased even in the off - season, but the total volume is still small and has little impact on the PE supply - demand pattern [43]. 3.5.4 Demand - Side and Its Deduction - The current average start - up rate of PE downstream industries is 45.75% (- 0.52%). The agricultural film industry is still in the peak season, but the start - up rate and order growth rate have slowed down. As the year - end approaches, the growth space for demand is limited, and the willingness of downstream enterprises to stock up has weakened [48].

Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Core Views - The core contradiction in the market this week has shifted from the "expectation of collective price hikes by shipping companies" to the "expectation gap between the conservative pricing of leading shipping companies and the optimistic market sentiment." The conservative pricing strategy of Maersk has weakened the bullish sentiment in the market, and the spot freight rate shows high differentiation, with limited upward momentum [2]. - The short - term market will be dominated by the game between "weak reality" and "stable expectation" due to the weak cargo volume and the strategic differentiation among shipping companies [2]. - The near - term trading logic focuses on the actual implementation of the shipping companies' price - holding actions from November to December, while the long - term trading logic is affected by factors such as 2025's shipping capacity delivery pressure, seasonal factors, and potential resumption of navigation [5][8]. - The market is in a high - level shock and short - term weak state. The main contract EC2512 has encountered significant resistance above 2000 points, and it is expected to oscillate in the range of 1800 - 2050 points with a slightly downward center of gravity [10]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Core Factors and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Factors - **Market Core Contradiction**: The core contradiction has shifted, and Maersk's conservative pricing has led to a weakening of bullish sentiment and significant long - position reduction in the main contract 2512. Spot freight rates are highly differentiated, and it is difficult to form a trend - like upward momentum [2]. - **Near - term Trading Logic**: It centers around the actual implementation of the shipping companies' price - holding actions from November to December. The actual effect of the first round of price - holding in December will be the key to the valuation of the 2512 contract. The decrease in the weekly average shipping capacity from East China to European base ports in December may support the price hikes [5]. - **Long - term Trading Expectation**: It is affected by factors such as 2025's shipping capacity delivery pressure, seasonal factors, and potential resumption of navigation. High shipping capacity and other factors limit the upward space of freight rates, and the long - term contracts face multiple suppressing forces [8]. 1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - **Market Positioning**: The market is in a high - level shock and short - term weak state. The main contract EC2512 is expected to oscillate in the range of 1800 - 2050 points with a slightly downward center of gravity [10]. - **Arbitrage Strategy**: The spread between near - and far - term contracts reflects the market's pessimistic expectation of the long - term fundamentals. Attention can be paid to the arbitrage opportunities brought by spread fluctuations, but operations need to be cautious due to the uncertainty of the Red Sea resumption of navigation [11]. 1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Risk Management Strategies**: For companies with excessive shipping capacity or poor booking volume, they can short the container shipping index futures to lock in profits; for those worried about rising freight rates, they can buy the container shipping index futures to determine the booking cost in advance [13]. 1.4 Basic Data Overview - **Comprehensive Freight Rate Index**: The FBX comprehensive route index increased by 16.22% week - on - week, while the CICFI, SCFI, NCFI, and SCFIS European route index decreased, and the SCFIS US - West route index increased by 14.43%. The SCFI European, US - West, and US - East route freight rates all decreased [14]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: Shipping companies are determined to hold prices and continue to announce price hikes until December; there are positive signs in shipping capacity regulation; the year - end seasonal peak season provides marginal support for freight rates [29]. - **Negative Information**: There are signs of easing in the geopolitical situation, increasing the expectation of Red Sea route resumption; the spot index has turned from rising to falling; macro and trade data are weak [30]. Chapter 3: Disk Interpretation - **Unilateral Trend and Capital Movement**: The main contract EC2512 had a volatile "roller - coaster" trend this week. It reached a new high this year but then declined due to the increased expectation of Red Sea resumption and the decline of the spot index. The trading volume and open interest increased, indicating intensified divergence between bulls and bears [31]. - **Basis Structure**: The basis (spot - futures) contango structure is still deep. The current high premium of futures means that the spot needs to rise more strongly to support the futures price, otherwise, the futures price may return to the spot price [36]. - **Calendar Spread Structure**: The spread between near - and far - term contracts maintains a B structure but fluctuates. The far - term contracts are more sensitive to negative factors, reflecting the market's concern about the medium - and long - term fundamentals [40]. Chapter 4: Profit Analysis - In the first half of 2025, major shipping companies such as COSCO SHIPPING Holdings, Maersk, and CMA CGM had relatively good profit and revenue performance, while some companies like ONE and Yang Ming Marine Transport saw a significant reduction in profits compared to the same period last year. Most shipping companies are still profitable [43]. - For the second half of the year, shipping companies believe that the uncertainty has increased, and they will operate more cautiously, which may affect the freight rate trend from the supply and cost sides [43].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Short - term, the US dollar index is expected to fluctuate between 99 - 101.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Short - term domestic urea market is stable with an upward bias due to new export quotas, but high supply in November may pressure prices. Export policy adjustments and rising coal prices support the urea price, while the overall trend is expected to be weakly volatile [4]. - The near - term trading logic suggests an inverse spread for the 1 - 5 month difference of urea futures due to the disappearance of export expectations for the 01 contract, though the 01 contract still has a premium because of autumn fertilizer expectations [7]. - In the long - term, the domestic urea daily production fluctuates slightly, and the domestic trade supply - demand contradiction persists. After the holiday, the enterprise inventory increases significantly, and new orders need to be replenished [12]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - New export quota of 600,000 tons is directly allocated to upstream factories, supporting short - term spot prices. In November, high daily production may pressure prices, but export policy adjustments and rising coal prices provide support [4]. - Near - term: The cheapest deliverable locations for urea futures are Henan and Shandong. The 1 - 5 month spread of 01 contract is in an inverse spread due to the disappearance of export expectations, but the 01 contract still has a premium [7]. - Long - term: Domestic urea daily production fluctuates between 195,000 - 201,000 tons around holidays and then drops to 195,000 tons. After - holiday enterprise inventory is around 1.4 million tons, an increase from before the holiday, and new orders need to be replenished [12]. 1.2 Trading - type Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: Urea is expected to run weakly and volatile. The UR2601 contract is expected to trade between 1,550 - 1,750 yuan/ton. It is recommended to short at prices above 1,750 yuan/ton and set up an inverse spread for the 1 - 5 month spread when it is above - 10 [14]. - **Basis, Month - spread, and Hedging Arbitrage Strategy Recommendations**: - Basis strategy: Contracts 11, 12, and 01 have a weak unilateral trend, while contracts 02, 03, 04, and 05 are strong with peak - season demand expectations [15]. - Month - spread strategy: The upper pressure for the 01 contract is 1,710 - 1,720 yuan/ton, and the static support is 1,550 - 1,620 yuan/ton. It is recommended to short at high prices and set up an inverse spread for the 1 - 5 month spread [15]. - Hedging arbitrage strategy: None [16]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: India announced a new round of urea import tender for 2.5 million tons on November 6, with a shipment deadline of January 15, 2026. The fourth quarter is the winter storage period for the fertilizer industry, and low prices may attract spontaneous reserves [17]. - **Negative Information**: The domestic urea daily production has been above 190,000 tons for a long time this year, and high inventory has pressured prices. Market confidence is lacking, and downstream procurement enthusiasm is low [18]. 2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - China's urea weekly production is expected to be around 1.34 million tons next week, an increase from this week. There are no planned shutdowns, and 5 - 6 enterprises' devices may resume production [20]. Chapter 3: Disk Interpretation 3.1 Price - volume and Capital Interpretation - Domestic urea daily production fluctuates around 195,000 - 201,000 tons around holidays and then drops to 195,000 tons. After - holiday enterprise inventory is around 1.4 million tons, an increase from before the holiday. Agricultural demand in Shandong and Henan is postponed due to rain, and compound fertilizer factories in some areas are shut down. Downstream procurement willingness is low [21]. - The main contradiction is weak domestic demand. It is expected that the increase in exports cannot offset the weakening of domestic demand, and the medium - term trend is under pressure. The 1 - 5 month spread of urea futures is in an inverse spread [22]. 3.2 Industry Hedging Recommendations - **Price Range Forecast**: The price range for urea is 1,650 - 1,950 yuan/ton, with a 20 - day rolling volatility of 27.16% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 62.1% [31]. - **Hedging Strategy Table**: - Inventory management: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory, it is recommended to short urea futures (UR2601) to lock in profits, with a hedging ratio of 25% and an entry range of 1,800 - 1,950 yuan/ton. Buy put options (UR2601P1850) to prevent price drops and sell call options (UR2601C1950) to reduce costs, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 45 - 60 [31]. - Procurement management: For enterprises with low procurement inventory, it is recommended to buy urea futures (UR2601) to lock in procurement costs, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 1,650 - 1,750 yuan/ton. Sell put options (UR2601P1650) to collect premiums and lock in purchase prices if the price drops, with a hedging ratio of 75% and an entry range of 20 - 25 [31].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The market was affected by news such as the US increasing military threats against Venezuela and the suspension of reciprocal tariffs after the China - US leaders' meeting, causing short - term increases in crude oil and asphalt prices. Concerns about asphalt raw material supply emerged due to Venezuela's importance as an oil source for Chinese asphalt refineries. However, short - term Venezuelan crude oil shipments were not substantially affected according to Kpler data. Demand has entered the off - season, winter storage is unpromising, and some Shandong refineries have复产 expectations. The price is expected to move downward, and short - term traders should pay attention to the rhythm and take profits in time [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1. Asphalt Price and Volatility - The predicted monthly price range of the asphalt main contract is 3000 - 3450 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 16.06% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 20.68% [2]. 3.2. Asphalt Risk Management Strategy - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, they can short asphalt futures (bu2512) with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 3650 - 3750 yuan/ton to lock in profits and cover production costs. They can also sell call options (bu2512C3500) with a 20% ratio at an entry range of 30 - 40 to reduce capital costs and lock in the spot selling price if prices rise [2]. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low procurement inventory and aiming to purchase based on orders, they can buy asphalt futures (bu2512) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 3300 - 3400 yuan/ton to lock in procurement costs. They can also sell put options (bu2512C3500) with a 20% ratio at an entry range of 25 - 35 to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs, and lock in the spot purchase price if prices fall [2]. 3.3. Price and Basis Information - **Spot Prices**: On November 7, 2025, the Shandong spot price was 3050 yuan/ton (down 50 yuan from the previous day and 180 yuan week - on - week), the Yangtze River Delta was 3390 yuan/ton (down 40 yuan and 80 yuan week - on - week), the North China was 3100 yuan/ton (down 50 yuan and 150 yuan week - on - week), and the South China was 3350 yuan/ton (down 10 yuan and 100 yuan week - on - week) [9]. - **Basis**: The Shandong spot 12 - contract basis was - 2 yuan/ton (down 16 yuan and 43 yuan week - on - week), the Yangtze River Delta was 338 yuan/ton (down 6 yuan and up 57 yuan week - on - week), the North China was 48 yuan/ton (down 16 yuan and 13 yuan week - on - week), and the South China was 298 yuan/ton (up 24 yuan and 37 yuan week - on - week) [9]. - **Crack Spread**: The Shandong spot crack spread against Brent was 75.7456 yuan/barrel (down 8.6645 yuan and 24.0369 yuan week - on - week), and the futures main contract crack spread against Brent was 75.3991 yuan/barrel (down 10.5705 yuan and 26.8094 yuan week - on - week) [9]. 3.4.
