Report Title - Nickel & Stainless Steel: Short-term may continue to fluctuate. August 7 Risk Management Daily Report [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - The intraday trend of Shanghai nickel was volatile with no obvious logical changes in the fundamentals. The bottom support of nickel ore is limited, the production and shipment of nickel ore in the Philippines are still at a high level, and there is no obvious adjustment in the short-term premium in Indonesia. The price of ferronickel continued to strongly correct during the day, with a strong willingness to support the price on the supply side and a generally bullish sentiment among traders recently, but the actual acceptance of steel mills remains to be seen. The salt plants in the new energy chain have had some support recently, with an increase in the demand of some downstream precursor plants and a certain increase in transactions. Stainless steel once again reached the 13,000 mark during the day, but the spot market followed the increase limitedly, and downstream buyers still hold a wait-and-see attitude towards high-priced resources.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Oil prices continued to decline, approaching the lower limit of the trading range since July. The current fundamentals are mixed. Bullish factors include a decline in US crude oil and refined product inventories according to EIA weekly data, Saudi Arabia's unexpected significant increase in official prices, and Trump's announcement of an additional 25% tariff on imports from India starting August 27, raising the total tax rate to 50%. Bearish factors are the possibility of a meeting between the US, Russia, and Ukraine, increasing the likelihood of a cease - fire in the Russia - Ukraine conflict. The market's reaction to bullish factors is limited, possibly due to the weakening of peak - season demand support. As seasonal demand weakens, the risk of supply surplus intensifies, and time is bearish for crude oil, with limited upside potential and a need to watch for downside risks. There is a lack of substantial short - term positive news, and attention should be paid to whether US sanctions against Russia can be implemented after August 8 [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Multi - and Short - Term Analysis - Bullish factors: Decline in US crude oil and refined product inventories according to EIA weekly data; Saudi Arabia's unexpected significant increase in official prices; Trump's announcement of an additional 25% tariff on imports from India starting August 27, raising the total tax rate to 50% [4]. - Bearish factors: A meeting between the US, Russia, and Ukraine, increasing the likelihood of a cease - fire in the Russia - Ukraine conflict [4]. 3.2.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Report Core View - Today, the futures prices of each contract of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) fluctuated slightly. By the close, except for the EC2512 and 2604 contracts which rebounded slightly, the prices of the other monthly contracts declined slightly. Looking at the changes in the positions of the top 20 institutional holders on the exchange, for the EC2510 contract, the long positions increased by 43 lots to 27,706 lots, the short positions decreased by 174 lots to 33,222 lots, and the trading volume decreased by 26,940 lots to 31,894 lots (bilateral). The futures price fluctuated as expected, but some major shipping companies (CMA CGM) were still lowering the spot cabin quotes for the European Line, so the near - month contracts declined slightly. For the future, it is expected that the probability of EC returning to a fluctuating and slightly declining or fluctuating trend is relatively high; in the medium term, without sudden event factors, the overall futures price trend may still be slightly declining [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 EC Risk Management Strategy Recommendations - **Position Management**: For those who have already obtained cabin positions but have full capacity or poor booking volume, and are worried about the decline in freight rates, with a long spot exposure, to prevent losses, they can short the container shipping index futures according to the company's cabin positions to lock in profits. The recommended hedging tool is EC2510, with a selling direction and a recommended entry range of 1500 - 1600 [1]. - **Cost Management**: When shipping companies increase the frequency of blank sailings or are about to enter the peak season, and hope to book cabins according to order situations, with a short spot exposure, to prevent the increase in transportation costs due to rising freight rates, they 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 direction and a recommended entry range of 1200 - 1300 [1]. 3.2利多解读 (Positive Interpretation) - Maersk's Q2 2025 performance was strong, with revenue increasing by 2.8% year - on - year and EBIT reaching $845 million. Although it declined quarter - on - quarter, the overall performance was on par with the same period last year. The second - half guidance was raised, mainly due to the continuous strength of the terminal business, the increase in the shipping volume of the shipping segment, the enhanced profitability of the logistics and service business, and the continuous optimization of operations and strict cost control in each business segment. Given the stronger resilience of demand in non - North American markets, Maersk decided to raise its full - year 2025 financial guidance. The shipping volume increased by 4.2% year - on - year, mainly from Asian exports. Although the freight rate was still under pressure, it had rebounded within the quarter. The Gemini cooperation alliance was fully implemented in June, and the network reliability score exceeded the 90% target in the first month [2]. 3.3利空解读 (Negative Interpretation) - CMA CGM continued to lower the spot cabin quotes for the European Line in mid - August, and the new weekly spot cabin opening quotes of MSK for the European Line declined again [3]. 3.4 EC Basis, Price, and Spread - **EC Basis**: On August 7, 2025, the basis of EC2508 was 225.16 points, with a daily decline of 1.40 points and a weekly increase of 30.20 points; the basis of EC2510 was 877.46 points, with a daily decline of 0.30 points and a weekly decline of 14.00 points; etc. [3][4]. - **EC Price and Spread**: The closing price of EC2508 was 2072.7 points, with a daily increase of 0.07% and a weekly decrease of 2.30%; the closing price of EC2510 was 1420.4 points, with a daily increase of 0.02% and a weekly decrease of 0.33%; etc. The spread between EC2508 - 2512 was 309.5 points, with a daily decrease of 10.4 points and a weekly decrease of 119.8 points; etc. [4]. 3.5 Container Shipping Spot Cabin Quotes - On August 21, for Maersk's ships departing from Shanghai to Rotterdam, the total quote for 20GP was $1595, an increase of $10 compared to the previous period, and the total quote for 40GP was $2670, an increase of $20 compared to the previous period.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - From the PE fundamentals, the near - term pressure is still high as downstream orders haven't improved and restocking demand is limited. Although there was a short - term increase in speculative demand on Monday and Tuesday this week, today's trading volume dropped significantly. Also, PE has been accumulating inventory for four consecutive weeks, with LLDPE inventory reaching a historical high. So, there is still significant pressure above PE. However, from the expected level, the current stage may be the weakest for PE demand, and downstream orders are expected to gradually recover in August, driving demand to pick up. Therefore, PE doesn't have a strong downward drive either. In conclusion, PE is mainly affected by external factors recently and lacks its own directional drive [4] Content Summary by Related Catalogs Price Prediction and Hedging Strategies - The monthly price range prediction for polyethylene is 7200 - 7400, with the current 20 - day rolling volatility at 9.94% and its historical percentile (3 - year) at 11.1% [3] - For inventory management when the finished product inventory is high and worried about price drops: To prevent inventory depreciation losses, enterprises can short plastic futures (L2509, sell, 25%, entry range 7350 - 7400) to lock in profits and compensate for production costs; they can also sell call options (L2509C7400, sell, 50%, entry range 10 - 50) to collect premiums and reduce costs [3] - For procurement management when the regular inventory is low and purchasing according to orders: To prevent the increase in procurement costs due to rising polyethylene prices, enterprises can buy plastic futures (L2509, buy, 50%, entry range 7150 - 7200) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance; they can also sell put options (L2509P7200, sell, 75%, entry range 10 - 50) to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs, and lock in the spot purchase price if the polyethylene price drops [3] Core Contradictions - Near - term pressure on PE fundamentals is high due to poor downstream orders and limited restocking demand. Although there was short - term speculative demand, today's trading volume decreased. PE has been accumulating inventory for four consecutive weeks, especially LLDPE. However, the current stage may be the weakest for PE demand, and downstream orders are expected to recover in August [4] 利多解读 - The "anti - involution" policy drives up the price of coking coal, providing cost support for polyolefins. The demand is expected to improve after August [5] 利空解读 - Jilin Petrochemical's recent production launch. The current restocking willingness of downstream is limited, and the spot price lacks support.

Report Information - Report Title: Nanhua Futures Copper Risk Management Daily Report [1] - Date: August 7, 2025 [1] - Research Team: Nanhua Non-ferrous Metals Research Team [1] Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Core View - Copper prices were slightly stronger on Monday and Tuesday, mainly a correction of the previous decline, and fell slightly again on Wednesday, which is related to the poor US ISM non-manufacturing data. The spread between LME copper and COMEX copper has basically stabilized, and it is difficult to see the expectation that LME copper prices will remain higher than COMEX copper prices in the short term. The oversold situation in COMEX copper may slightly boost the valuations of the other two copper markets. Investors should still be wary of the adverse effects of weak copper demand [3]. Key Points by Category Copper Price and Volatility - The latest copper price is 78,280 yuan/ton, with a monthly price range forecast of 73,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton. The current volatility is 11.64%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility is 22.6% [2]. Risk Management Suggestions - **Inventory Management**: For high finished product inventory and fear of price decline, with a long spot exposure, it is recommended to sell 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 82,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of the CU2509C82000 call option when the volatility is relatively stable [2]. - **Raw Material Management**: For low raw material inventory and fear of price increase, with a short spot exposure, it is recommended to buy 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 75,000 yuan/ton [2]. Factors Affecting Copper Prices - **Likely Positive Factors**: The US and other countries reached an agreement on tariff policies; the US dollar index declined due to employment data; there is obvious support below [4]. - **Likely Negative Factors**: Tariff policies are inconsistent; global demand has decreased due to tariff policies; the US adjustment of copper tariff policies has led to an extremely inflated COMEX inventory [4][5]. Copper Futures and Spot Data Futures Data - The latest price of the Shanghai copper main contract is 78,280 yuan/ton, with no daily change. The Shanghai copper continuous - 1 contract decreased by 300 yuan/ton (-0.38%), and the Shanghai copper continuous - 3 contract had no change. The LME copper 3M contract is at 9,674 US dollars/ton, up 39.5 US dollars (0.41%), and the Shanghai - London ratio is 8.15 with no change [4]. Spot Data - The latest prices of Shanghai Non - ferrous 1 copper, Shanghai Wumaotrade, Guangdong Nanchu, and Yangtze Non - ferrous are 78,350 yuan/ton, 78,330 yuan/ton, 78,190 yuan/ton, and 78,500 yuan/ton respectively, all showing a decline. The spot premiums of these regions also decreased [6]. Copper Spread and Inventory Data Spread Data - The current refined - scrap copper spread (tax - included) is 660.43 yuan/ton, down 173.61 yuan (-20.82%); the reasonable refined - scrap copper spread (tax - included) is 1,483.2 yuan/ton, down 2.8 yuan (-0.19%) [8].

1. Macroeconomy - **Core View**: Domestically, the manufacturing PMI has declined marginally and is significantly weaker than the seasonal level in previous years, indicating downward pressure on the economy. The economy has entered a policy observation window, and if economic data continues to weaken, incremental policies may be implemented. Overseas, the next few months will be a crucial observation period for inflation trends. The market's expectation of a Fed rate cut has been fluctuating, and changes in US inflation data deserve close attention [2] - **Market Information**: Modi is scheduled to visit China from August 31 to September 1 to attend the SCO Tianjin Summit; Trump plans to impose a 100% tariff on chip products, with exemptions for companies like Apple building factories in the US; Trump has ordered an additional 25% tariff on India; the US - Japan trade agreement has ongoing differences, and the US plans to increase tariffs by 15%; there are signs of a potential meeting between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky; Fed officials have hinted at a possible rate cut; the 10 - year US Treasury bond auction was unexpectedly weak [1][3][5][28] 2. RMB Exchange Rate - **Core Logic**: Based on the "dollar - mid - price - spot price" analysis framework, the market has fully priced in a 25 - basis - point rate cut in September, and the dollar index is likely to consolidate. With the central bank's guidance and the trade surplus from January to June, the short - term exchange rate is expected to find support in the range of 7.15 - 7.23, with a central anchor of 7.20 [4] - **Market Information**: Fed official Kashkari believes two rate cuts this year are reasonable; Trump will announce the appointment of a new Fed governor in 2 - 3 days; trade negotiations between Switzerland and the US have not made progress; Trump plans to impose tariffs on chips and semiconductors, and additional tariffs on India and other countries [3] 3. Stock Index - **Core View**: The stock market continued to rise yesterday, mainly driven by foreign capital inflows and active participation of hot money. The CSI 1000 index showed relative strength, while the Shanghai 50 index was weak. Short - term external tariff adjustments have increased risk - aversion sentiment, while foreign capital inflows have brought vitality. The Shanghai Composite Index is expected to face upward pressure [5] - **Market Information**: The margin balance has returned to the two - trillion - yuan mark; Trump has imposed additional tariffs on Indian goods and plans to levy high tariffs on chips [5] - **Strategy Suggestion**: Sell cash - secured put options [5] 4. Treasury Bonds - **Core Logic**: Although the bond market's gains narrowed in the afternoon, there are signs of sentiment improvement, such as relative desensitization to the strong performance of the stock and commodity markets and continuous net purchases by funds [7] - **Market Information**: South Korea will implement a temporary visa - free policy for Chinese group tourists; the US plans to sell weapons to Ukraine [6] - **Investment Strategy**: Appropriate layout of long positions [7] 5. Container Shipping - **Core View**: Some mainstream shipping companies have continuously lowered the spot cabin quotes for European routes, which led to the lower opening of futures prices. Maersk's adjustment of shipping routes may increase port congestion and affect the effective capacity of European routes, which is beneficial for the long - term futures prices. However, the decline in spot quotes of some shipping companies has limited the upside of futures prices. In the future, the EC is expected to be in a volatile or slightly downward trend [9] - **Market Information**: The US has imposed a 30% tariff on South Africa, causing Maersk to terminate direct shipping between the US and South Africa; Trump plans to impose tariffs on imported drugs [8][9] 6. Commodities 6.1 Precious Metals (Gold & Silver) - **Core View**: Due to weak US economic data and government pressure on the Fed, the expectation of a Fed rate cut in September has increased, driving up the prices of gold and silver. In the medium - to - long - term, the trend is bullish, and in the short - term, the market is mainly controlled by bulls [10] - **Market Information**: Fed official Kashkari believes two rate cuts this year are appropriate [10] 6.2 Copper - **Core View**: Copper prices have shown a slight correction. The difference between LME copper and COMEX copper prices has stabilized. Short - term oversold conditions in COMEX copper may boost the valuation of other copper markets, but investors should be wary of weak demand [11][12] - **Market Information**: US ISM non - manufacturing data is poor [12] 6.3 Zinc - **Core View**: The continuous decline in overseas zinc inventories provides support for zinc prices. Although the domestic fundamentals show strong supply and weak demand, the bottom of zinc prices is expected to be supported. In the short - term, zinc prices are likely to be volatile with a relatively strong trend [12][13] 6.4 Nickel and Stainless Steel - **Core View**: The trend of nickel is volatile, and the overall logic has not changed significantly. The price of nickel ore has stabilized with a slight upward trend, and downstream products are differentiated. The supply of stainless steel is strong, and the demand is weak, but the spot price is relatively firm. The supply of nickel sulfate is tight [14][15] 6.5 Tin - **Core View**: Tin prices have shown some resilience. Supply - side issues have not been resolved quickly, and if the situation in Myanmar drags on, tin prices may continue to rise slightly. The impact of weak demand on tin prices has not been fully reflected [17] 6.6 Carbonate Lithium - **Core View**: The futures price of carbonate lithium has fluctuated higher. The spot market of the lithium - battery industry chain has weakened slightly. Supply - side disturbances still exist, and the issue of mining certificates continues to ferment. It is expected to be in a wide - range volatile and slightly upward state in the near term [18][19] 6.7 Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - **Core View**: Cost - side factors drive up prices, and sentiment continues to stimulate the market. In the short - term, the trend is bullish. In the medium - to - long - term, the downside of industrial silicon is limited, and opportunities for buying on dips should be noted. For polysilicon, attention should be paid to industrial integration [20][22][23] 6.8 Lead - **Core View**: After two days of bottom - range oscillation, lead prices rose according to the peak - season expectation. The supply of primary lead is relatively strong, and the cost of recycled lead can support prices. The demand side is approaching the peak season, and the willingness to stock up for production has increased. In the short - term, it is expected to be in a relatively strong volatile state [24] 6.9 Black Metals 6.9.1 Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil - **Core View**: The inspection and reduction of coal mine over - production are ongoing, and there are also news of steel production reduction. Although it is the off - season, the demand shows the characteristic of being not weak in the off - season. The near - term contracts face delivery pressure, and the upper space is limited, but the lower space is supported [25][26] - **Market Information**: The government plans to renovate 300,000 kilometers of rural roads by 2027; some coal mines have production reduction expectations [25] 6.9.2 Iron Ore - **Core View**: The rise of coking coal suppresses the price of iron ore. The profit of steel mills has weakened significantly, and the seesaw effect between iron ore and coking coal is more prominent. The price of iron ore is expected to face upward pressure [27] - **Market Information**: Some coal mines have production reduction expectations, and the output and inventory of steel products have changed [27] 6.9.3 Coking Coal and Coke - **Core View**: The expectation of coking coal production reduction supports the strengthening of the market. The 5 - round price increase of coke has been fully implemented, and the coking profit has been repaired. In the medium - to - long - term, the outlook for coking coal and coke is not pessimistic, but attention should be paid to macro events [28][29] - **Market Information**: Trump has imposed tariffs on related countries; the government plans to renovate rural roads; the production and inventory data of coking coal and coke have changed [28] 6.9.4 Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese - **Core View**: The cost support for ferrosilicon and silicomanganese has strengthened. The profits of steel mills are good, which provides support for the demand of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese. However, in the long - term, the real - estate market is sluggish, and the support from the supply side is insufficient. In the short - term, the market still has some expectations for supply - side contraction [30][31][32] 6.10 Energy and Chemicals 6.10.1 Crude Oil - **Core View**: The overnight crude - oil market冲高回落 and closed down. The current fundamentals are mixed. Bullish factors include the decline in US crude - oil and refined - product inventories, Saudi Arabia's significant increase in official prices, and Trump's tariff measures. Bearish factors include the possible cease - fire in the Russia - Ukraine conflict. As seasonal demand weakens, the risk of supply surplus increases, and the upward space is limited [33][35] - **Market Information**: Saudi Arabia has raised the official price of light oil in September; US EIA weekly data shows changes in inventory, production, and trade; Trump has imposed additional tariffs on Indian goods [33][34] 6.10.2 LPG - **Core View**: The LPG market is in a low - level volatile state. The supply side is still relatively loose, and the demand side has not changed much. The overall situation remains loose [36][37][38] 6.10.3 PTA - PX - **Core View**: The prices of PX - PTA have declined under the influence of commodity sentiment. The supply of PX is expected to increase in August, and the profit margin has been compressed. The supply of PTA has decreased, and the inventory has increased slightly. The demand for polyester has declined, but there is a peak - season expectation. Currently, the PTA processing fee is at a historical low, and there is an opportunity to expand the processing fee by buying on dips [39][40][41] 6.10.4 MEG - Bottle Grade - **Core View**: The "anti - involution" sentiment has cooled down, and the price of ethylene glycol has weakened. The supply side has increased, and the profit has been compressed. The inventory of the East China port has decreased slightly. In general, the supply - demand contradiction is not significant in the third quarter, and the price is expected to be in a relatively strong volatile state [42] 6.10.5 Methanol - **Core View**: The "anti - involution" sentiment has subsided, and the methanol market has returned to the fundamentals, which are currently weak. Factors such as the shutdown of Xingxing, the high - volume shipment from Iran in July, and poor downstream profits should be noted. In the short - term, the fundamentals are weak, and attention should be paid to downstream resistance and the port - inland price difference [43][44] 6.10.6 PP - **Core View**: The PP market is in a short - term volatile state. The supply side is under pressure from new device production and the recovery of PDH profit. The demand side is still weak, and the imbalance between supply and demand cannot be fundamentally resolved in the short - term. It is affected by macro sentiment and coking - coal prices [45][46] 6.10.7 PE - **Core View**: The PE market is currently affected by external factors and lacks a directional driver. The supply side has increased, and the demand side has not improved significantly. The inventory of LLDPE is at a high level. However, downstream orders are expected to recover in August, and the demand is expected to pick up [47][48] 6.10.8 Pure Benzene and Styrene - **Core View**: Pure benzene: The supply has increased, and the demand has decreased slightly. The inventory has decreased slightly. The market is expected to be in a volatile state, and it is advisable to reduce the price difference between pure benzene and styrene by selling at high prices. Styrene: The supply is expected to increase in August and September, and the market is expected to be weak. It is advisable to short on rallies and reduce the price difference between pure benzene and styrene [49][50] 6.10.9 Fuel Oil - **Core View**: The fuel - oil market is still weak. The supply has improved, and the demand has shown some recovery. The inventory is at a high level, and the short - term driving force is downward [52] 6.10.10 Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Core View**: The low - sulfur fuel - oil market has been dragged down by crude - oil prices. The supply has decreased, the demand is weak, and the inventory has increased. It is advisable to have a bearish allocation [53] 6.10.11 Asphalt - **Core View**: The asphalt market is weakly volatile following the cost side. The supply has increased, and the demand has been suppressed by weather and capital shortages. In the short - term, the fundamentals have weakened, but in the long - term, the demand is expected to pick up in the peak season [53][54] 6.10.12 Glass, Soda Ash, and Caustic Soda - **Soda Ash**: The market sentiment has fluctuated, and the supply is in a narrow - range fluctuation. The demand for soda ash is expected to be weak, and the supply - demand pattern is that supply is stronger than demand. Attention should be paid to the price fluctuations of coal and raw salt [55] - **Glass**: The market is affected by policy expectations and fundamentals. The supply has increased slightly, and the demand is in a weak - balance state. Attention should be paid to policy guidance and short - term sentiment changes [56] - **Caustic Soda**: As it approaches August, the 09 contract may start the delivery logic. The supply is expected to increase, and the cost is stable. The downstream demand is in the off - season, and attention should be paid to the peak - season performance [57] 6.10.13 Pulp - **Core View**: The pulp market has support on dips. The supply and inventory are at high levels, and the demand is difficult to see a significant long - term increase. However, the demand may be seasonally boosted in August. The market has adjusted with the decline in sentiment and is expected to be supported at the current level [58][59] 6.10.14 Logs - **Core View**: The "autumn fat contract" has opened. The price of the 09 contract revolves around the warehouse - receipt cost. Non - industrial customers are advised to trade in a range, and industrial customers can hedge to lock in profits [61] 6.10.15 Propylene - **Core View**: The propylene market is in a weakly volatile state. The cost side is affected by external factors, the supply side is relatively loose, and the demand side has not changed much. The Shandong market has strengthened due to the reduction in the supply - demand gap [63][64] 6.11 Agricultural Products 6.11.1 Hogs - **Core View**: The price of hogs is weakly stable, with strong supply and weak demand. The market has the sentiment of withholding hogs from sale. It is advisable to short on rallies and appropriately arrange reverse spreads [66] 6.11.2 Oilseeds - **Core View**: The outer - market US soybeans have fallen due to concerns about new - crop exports and favorable planting weather. The inner - market has given back the sentiment - driven increase. The supply of imported soybeans is expected to face a gap after December. The short - term decline space of domestic soybean meal is limited, and the market is gradually pricing in the supply gap of the far - month contracts. For rapeseed meal, the near - month contracts are relatively strong, and the far - month contracts are expected to de - stock faster. It is advisable to go long on the far - month contracts on dips [67][68] 6.11.3 Oils - **Core View**: The vegetable - oil market is in a slightly upward volatile state recently, with soybean oil being relatively stronger within the sector. The supply pressure of palm oil has increased, the soybean - producing areas lack weather - driven factors, and the driving force for rapeseed oil is limited. Attention should be paid to relevant policies and trade relations [69] 6.11.4 Corn and Starch - **Core View**: The corn market is in a weakly volatile state, and the trading is dull. The price of corn has declined slightly in the Northeast, and the demand is still weak. The price of corn starch is generally stable, and the demand from the syrup industry provides some support [70]
