Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View The core contradiction is that the shutdown of plants in the Shandong market has reduced the external supply of spot goods, leading to a significant increase in spot prices [3]. There are both bullish and bearish factors. Bullish factors include the 750,000 - ton PDH unit of Zhenhua in the Shandong market breaking down over the weekend, reducing the external supply by 2,000 tons per day and causing the spot market price to rise by 300 yuan/ton, and the planned maintenance of 900,000 - ton PDH units of Wanhua Penglai and Jinneng in the late - month, which will narrow the supply - demand gap in the Shandong market [4]. Bearish factors are the continuous decline of crude oil at the cost end and the price pressure of external propane exports at a high level [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents Propylene Hedging Strategy - **Inventory Management**: When the finished - product inventory is high and there are concerns about a decline in propylene prices, for a long spot position, it is recommended to sell PL2601 futures at a ratio of 50% in the price range of 6600 - 6700 to lock in profits. Also, sell PL2601C6800 call options at a ratio of 50% in the range of 160 - 200 to collect premiums and reduce costs, and lock in the selling price if the spot price rises [2]. - **Procurement Management**: When the regular procurement inventory is low and procurement is based on orders, for a short spot position, it is recommended to buy PL2601 futures at a ratio of 25% in the price range of 6200 - 6300 to lock in procurement costs. Also, sell PL2601P5800 put options at a ratio of 25% in the range of 25 - 35 to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs, and lock in the purchase price if the propylene price falls [2]. Price and Spread Seasonality - There are seasonal charts of propylene market prices in Shandong and the East China region, propylene 01 - 02 and 02 - 03 month - spreads, and PP01 - PL01, PL01 - PG01, PL01 - 3MA01 spreads in 2025 [6][8][9].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints - The prices of each monthly contract of the container shipping index (European Line) futures fluctuated first and then declined significantly near the close. Except for a slight rebound in the EC2508 contract, the prices of other monthly contracts decreased slightly. The decline was mainly due to the downward opening quotation of MSK's new - week European Line, leading to a downward re - valuation of the European index futures price. In the future, it is expected that the EC may continue to fluctuate and decline or maintain a fluctuating trend. In the medium term, without sudden event factors, the overall futures price trend may still be slightly downward [1]. - A.P. 穆勒 - 马士基集团 (Maersk) 2025 Q2 performance was strong, with revenue increasing by 2.8% year - on - year and EBIT reaching $845 million. The company raised its full - year 2025 financial guidance, benefiting from the strong terminal business, increased shipping volume in the shipping sector, enhanced profitability of the logistics and service business, and continuous optimization of operations and strict cost control in each business segment [2]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs EC Risk Management Strategy - **Position Management**: For those who have obtained positions but have full capacity or poor booking volume and are worried about falling freight rates (long position), to prevent losses, they can short the container shipping index futures according to the company's positions to lock in profits. The recommended hedging tool is EC2510, with a selling recommendation in the range of 1500 - 1600 [1]. - **Cost Management**: When the shipping company's blank - sailing intensity increases or the market peak season is approaching, and one hopes to book cabins according to the order situation (short position), to prevent the increase in transportation costs due to rising freight rates, one can buy the container shipping index futures at present to determine the cabin - booking cost in advance. The recommended hedging tool is EC2510, with a buying recommendation in the range of 1200 - 1300 [1]. Market Data - **EC Basis and Price**: On August 11, 2025, the basis of EC2508 was 155.48 points, with a daily decrease of 9.00 points and a weekly decrease of 20.08 points.

Report Information - Report Title: Ferroalloy Industry Risk Management Daily Report [1] - Date: August 11, 2025 [1] - Author: Chen Mintao (Z0022731) [1] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoint - In the short term, the price trend of ferroalloys mainly follows the price fluctuations of coal. The current good profit situation of steel mills and high molten iron production provide support for ferroalloy demand. In the long run, the real - estate market is sluggish, and the support from the home appliance and automobile industries for steel depends on policy stimulus. The supply of manganese ore is relatively sufficient, and the support from the ore end for ferromanganese is insufficient. The anti - involution trading sentiment has faded, but the market still has expectations for supply - side contraction. The logic of ferroalloys lies in the price of coking coal, with large short - term fluctuations. It is recommended to lightly test long positions after a pullback [4] Summary by Content Price Forecast - The monthly price forecast for ferrosilicon is in the range of 5300 - 6000, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 25.65% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 69.0%. The monthly price forecast for ferromanganese is also 5300 - 6000, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 15.48% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 28.5% [3] Hedging Strategies - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventories worried about price drops, they can short ferroalloy futures (SF2509, SM2509) to lock in profits and make up for production costs, with a hedging ratio of 15% and a recommended entry range of SF: 6200 - 6250, SM: 6400 - 6500 [3] - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low procurement inventories, they can buy ferroalloy futures (SF2509, SM2509) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance, with a hedging ratio of 25% and a recommended entry range of SF: 5100 - 5200, SM: 5300 - 5400 [3] 利多 Factors - **Silicon Iron**: The government's strict control policies on high - energy - consuming industries may lead to industrial structure adjustment and upgrading in the ferromanganese industry. This week, the demand for silicon iron in five major steel products was 2.03 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 2.01%. The silicon iron warehouse receipt inventory was 9.82 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 10.89%, and the total inventory was 17 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 3.3% [5][7] - **Silicon Manganese**: The demand for silicon manganese in five major steel products was 12.52 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.25%. The enterprise inventory was 16.15 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.52%, the warehouse receipt was 38.02 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.34%, and the total inventory was 54.15 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.1%. The profit in the northern region was - 98.14 yuan/ton (+70.51), and in the southern region was - 425.86 yuan/ton (+85.56) [8] 利空 Factors - **Silicon Iron**: The weekly production start - up rate of silicon iron production enterprises was 34.32%, a week - on - week increase of 0.56%, and the weekly output was 10.91 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 4.5%. The enterprise inventory was 7.18 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 9.45%. The profit in the Inner Mongolia production area was - 49 yuan/ton (-134), and in the Ningxia production area was 48 yuan/ton (-234) [8] - **Silicon Manganese**: In the long term, the real - estate market is sluggish, and there are doubts about the growth of steel terminal demand, so the demand for silicon manganese is relatively weak. The weekly production start - up rate of silicon manganese production enterprises was 43.43%, a week - on - week increase of 1.25%, and the weekly output was 19.58 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 2.62% [8] Daily Data - **Silicon Iron**: On August 11, 2025, the basis in Ningxia was - 22, the 01 - 05 spread was - 98, the 05 - 09 spread was 284, the 09 - 01 spread was - 186. The spot prices in Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Shaanxi, and Gansu were 5600, 5550, 5600, 5600, and 5500 respectively. The prices of semi - coke small materials, Qinhuangdao thermal coal, and Yulin thermal coal were 595, 682, and 570 respectively.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The supply - demand fundamentals of ethylene glycol (EG) are basically stable, lacking obvious drivers, and its price trend is mainly range - bound. Although there is a cumulative inventory trend, the inventory increase is limited, and the supply - demand is in a fragile balance. With low inventory, the upward elasticity is expected to be large. Also, the coal - based profit has been compressed recently, and the downward space is expected to be limited under stable costs. It is recommended to buy EG on dips, and the entry timing should focus on commodity sentiment [3]. 3. Summary by Related Content Polyester Price and Volatility - The monthly price range forecasts are: 4200 - 4700 for ethylene glycol, 6500 - 7400 for PX, 4400 - 5300 for PTA, and 5800 - 6500 for bottle chips. The current 20 - day rolling volatilities are 9.09% for ethylene glycol, 11.78% for PX, 9.30% for PTA, and 7.92% for bottle chips. The current volatility historical percentiles (3 - year) are 1.4% for ethylene glycol, 17.7% for PX, 4.6% for PTA, and 0.9% for bottle chips [2]. Polyester Hedging Strategies - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about EG price drops, they can short EG2509 futures (25% hedging ratio, entry range 4450 - 4550), buy EG2509P4350 put options, and sell EG2509C4500 call options (50% hedging ratio, entry range 10 - 15) [2]. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low procurement inventory and aiming to purchase according to orders, they can buy EG2509 futures (50% hedging ratio, entry range 4300 - 4400), sell EG2509P4350 put options (75% hedging ratio, entry range 10 - 30) to lock in procurement costs [2]. Market Influencing Factors - **Likely Positive Factor**: On August 4, the Emergency Management Department released the new "Coal Mine Safety Regulations", leading to a rebound in coal prices and an increase in costs [4]. - **Possible Negative Factor**: There is a market rumor that large filament manufacturers' FDY is suffering heavy losses and may cut production, but the implementation needs further observation [7]. Price and Spread Data on August 11, 2025 - **Price Changes**: Compared with August 8 and August 4, prices of various polyester - related products such as Brent crude oil, PX, PTA, EG, etc. have different degrees of changes. For example, Brent crude oil dropped by 0.3 dollars/barrel compared with August 8 and 2.4 dollars/barrel compared with August 4 [8]. - **Spread Changes**: Spreads such as TA1 - 5, EG1 - 5, etc. also changed. For example, TA1 - 5 month - spread increased by 2 yuan/ton compared with August 8 and decreased by 6 yuan/ton compared with August 4 [8]. Production and Sales Rates and Processing Fees - **Production and Sales Rates**: The production and sales rates of polyester products such as polyester filament, polyester staple fiber, and polyester chips have different degrees of changes. For example, the polyester filament production and sales rate increased by 24.8% compared with August 8 [9]. - **Processing Fees**: Processing fees of products such as gasoline reforming, aromatics reforming, etc. also changed. For example, the gasoline reforming spread increased by 3 dollars/ton compared with August 8 [9].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The urea market is influenced by frequent export news, causing price fluctuations and interfering with spot transactions. The weekend saw price softening in sensitive areas, and upstream urea factories have gradually lowered their quotes. In the medium term, the second batch of urea exports will support the demand side, and short - term inventory accumulation is unlikely. However, agricultural demand is weakening, and the fundamentals will face pressure in the second half of the year. Overall, urea has support at the bottom and resistance at the top, and the 09 contract is expected to fluctuate weakly [4]. - The confirmed urea exports strengthen the support at the bottom of the futures market, which is expected to show a wide - range oscillation pattern due to strong speculative pricing. On the other hand, domestic policy pressure, with the association requiring factories to sell urea at low prices, has a negative impact on spot sentiment [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Range Forecast | Product | Price Range Forecast (Monthly) | Current Volatility (20 - day Rolling) | Current Volatility Historical Percentile (3 years) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Urea | 1650 - 1950 | 27.16% | 62.1% | | Methanol | 2200 - 2400 | 20.01% | 51.2% | | Polypropylene | 6800 - 7400 | 10.56% | 42.2% | | Plastic | 6800 - 7400 | 15.24% | 78.5% | [3] 3.2 Urea Hedging Strategy | Behavior Guidance | Situation Analysis | Spot Exposure | Strategy Recommendation | Hedging Tool | Buying/Selling Direction | Hedging Ratio (%) | Suggested Entry Interval | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Inventory Management - High finished - product inventory, worried about urea price decline | Long | To prevent inventory losses, short urea futures to lock in profits and cover production costs; buy put options to prevent price drops and sell call options to reduce capital costs | UR2509, UR2509P1850, UR2509C1950 | Sell, Buy, Sell | 25%, 50%, - | 1800 - 1950, 15 - 20, 45 - 60 | | Procurement Management - Low procurement of regular inventory, hope to purchase according to order situations | Short | To prevent rising urea prices from increasing procurement costs, buy urea futures to lock in procurement costs in advance; sell put options to collect premiums and lock in the purchase price if the price drops | UR2509, UR2509P1750 | Buy, Sell | 50%, 75% | 1750 - 1900, 20 - 25 | [3]
