Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - In the fourth quarter, it is the period of concentrated supply of new-season corn. In October, the pressure of harvest and concentrated listing is relatively large. The supply-demand structure is temporarily imbalanced, leading to a situation where prices are more likely to fall than rise. The price of new-season corn has been declining. Since October, continuous rainy weather in the North China production area has led to a decline in corn quality, adding additional short-term price pressure. The production situation in the Northeast production area is good, with mainly sunny weather. After continuous declines, prices have recently stopped falling, mainly due to the excessive short-term decline. The maximum decline in the price of damp grain has exceeded 150 yuan/ton. Additionally, the decrease in the proportion of high-quality corn in the North China production area provides some support for the Northeast production area. Local deep-processing enterprises in the Northeast may initiate grain-locking actions, helping prices to stop falling. Overall, although not pessimistic about the medium- to long-term corn prices, currently it is still the peak period of new-season corn listing, and prices are still under pressure. Bullish factors need to accumulate and ferment, and it is difficult to say that prices will stabilize and rise in the short term. Attention should be paid to the price performance at the end of the month and early November [1]. - The corn futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange took an important step in the bottom-finding process yesterday. Multiple contracts declined simultaneously. The main November contract fell below the 2,100-yuan mark, becoming the first corn contract this year to break through this level. The decline in far-month contracts weakened successively, and the month-spread structure steepened. The number of registered warehouse receipts increased significantly, highlighting the pressure on the spot market [1]. - The price of CBOT corn futures is consolidating at a low level, waiting for further guidance from the USDA's October supply and demand report [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Bullish Factors - The import volume of corn and grains remains at a low level, providing a basis for the improvement of the medium-term corn supply-demand structure [5]. - The pressure of domestic corn production increase is limited, and it is expected to show resilience after the seasonal pressure passes [5]. - The purchasing sentiment in the Northeast production area has increased, and prices have stopped falling [5]. Bearish Factors - The pig industry is in the process of production capacity regulation, which may affect the medium-term feed demand for corn [3]. - The release of the new-season supply pressure still needs a process, and prices are in the bottom-finding or bottom-grinding stage [3]. - In the past two days, there have been many trucks arriving in Shandong, and deep-processing enterprises generally purchase at reduced prices [3].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Today, the futures price of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) (EC) oscillated at a low level with a slight upward trend. As of the close, the prices of EC contracts showed mixed movements. The main reason for the overall oscillatory trend of today's futures price is that although the US announced a 100% tariff increase on China, subsequent statements on social media by Trump and Vance were more conciliatory, leading to an oscillating macro - sentiment. Additionally, the near - month contracts rebounded due to CMA CGM's announcement of a November freight rate increase. In the short term, the futures price is likely to continue oscillating. It is necessary to closely monitor the cease - fire process in Gaza and Sino - US relations. Strategically, one can generally remain on the sidelines or attempt a 10 - 12 positive spread strategy [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 EC Risk Management Strategy Recommendations - **Position Management**: For those who have already acquired positions but have full capacity or poor booking volumes during the peak season and are worried about falling freight rates (long position in spot), to prevent losses, they can short the container shipping index futures according to the company's position to lock in profits.

The recommended hedging tool is EC2512, with a buying recommendation and an entry range of 1450 - 1500 [2]. 3.2 Core Contradictions - As of the close, for the EC2510 contract, long positions decreased by 1414 lots to 9464 lots, short positions decreased by 1129 lots to 10337 lots, and trading volume decreased by 946 lots to 6566 lots (bilateral) [3]. 3.3利多解读 - On the evening of October 12, US Eastern Time, the US stock futures market rebounded after Friday's sharp decline.

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The core factor affecting the EC price trend this week is geopolitical risk. The initial agreement on the Gaza ceasefire has significantly reduced geopolitical risk, increasing the possibility of mainstream shipping companies resuming Red Sea voyages, which is negative for market sentiment and will also put pressure on freight rates from the supply side in the long term. The approaching time for the US to impose port fees on Chinese ships and the US's announcement of a 100% tariff on China are both negative for the European index futures price from a macro - sentiment perspective. However, Trump's subsequent remarks on social media leave some room for improvement, presenting certain positive factors. In the short term, futures prices, especially far - month futures prices, are more likely to continue to fluctuate slightly downward or return to a volatile state. Attention should be paid to the situation in the Middle East and the development of Sino - US relations [1]. - The current spot cabin quotes for the European route and the SCFI European route have stopped falling and rebounded, enhancing the short - term valuation of near - month futures prices. However, geopolitical risks and macro - sentiment have certain negative impacts, and the possibility of a rebound from low levels should be guarded against [2]. - Uncertainties remain in the Middle East situation. If the Gaza ceasefire process shows significant setbacks or Red Sea voyages are truly resumed, it will have a relatively significant impact on futures prices. In the first eight months of this year, the peak - season characteristics of the European container shipping market were relatively vague. For the following months, the demand in the off - season may further weaken, and the demand support during peak seasons like December may also be relatively weak [5]. - The container shipping index (European route) futures (EC) prices showed a wide - range volatile trend under the influence of geopolitical risks and macro - sentiment this week. Technically, the short - term moving average crossed below the long - term moving average again, indicating a short - term downward expectation. Recently, there has been no significant change in the positions of the main players in the container shipping market, but the net short positions of profitable players and foreign investors have slightly increased, indicating that the market sentiment remains relatively bearish [31]. Group 3: Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Core Factors and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Factors - Geopolitical risk is the core factor affecting the EC price trend. The Gaza ceasefire agreement reduces risk, increasing the possibility of Red Sea resumption and pressuring freight rates. Sino - US trade frictions have both negative and positive impacts on futures prices [1]. - The current situation of European route spot cabin quotes and SCFI European route is positive for near - month futures price valuation, but geopolitical and macro - factors have negative impacts [2]. - Uncertainties in the Middle East and the demand characteristics of the European container shipping market are important factors affecting futures prices [5]. 1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - **Arbitrage Strategy**: Traders can try the 10 - 12 positive spread arbitrage [11][40]. - **Trend Judgment**: The downward momentum continues. The short - term support level for the main contract is in the range of 1450 - 1500, and the pressure level is in the range of 1700 - 1750. The overall strategy can be relatively bearish, and short - term intraday trading is recommended due to geopolitical and macro uncertainties. Traders can temporarily stay on the sidelines in the spot - futures (basis) strategy [11]. 1.3 Industry Customer Operation Recommendations - **Cargo Space Management**: For those with full cargo space or poor booking volume and worried about freight rate decline, they can short container shipping index futures (EC2512) at 1700 - 1750 to lock in profits [11]. - **Cost Management**: To prevent an increase in transportation costs due to rising freight rates, they can buy container shipping index futures (EC2512) at 1450 - 1500 to determine booking costs in advance [11]. 1.4 Basic Data Overview - The FBX comprehensive route index decreased by 4.53% to 1540.00 dollars/FEU, the CICFI decreased by 0.01% to 647.22 points, the SCFI increased by 4.12% to 1160.42 points, the NCFI increased by 11.5% to 818.97 points, the CCFI decreased by 6.68% to 1014.78 points, and the CFFI decreased by 4.99% to 2399.00 points [10]. - The SCFIS European route decreased by 6.60% to 1046.50 points, the SCFIS US - West route decreased by 4.82% to 876.82 points, the SCFI European route increased by 9.99% to 1068 dollars/TEU, the SCFI US - West route increased by 0.55% to 1468 dollars/FEU, and the SCFI US - East route increased by 2.81% to 2452 dollars/FEU [12]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: US stock futures rebounded on the evening of October 12. Trump softened his tone on Sino - US relations. CMA CGM announced a price increase for the Asia - to - Nordic route starting from November 1. The SCFI European route stopped falling and rebounded [25]. - **Negative Information**: Maersk may resume Red Sea voyages. China will impose special port fees on US - related ships starting from October 14. Trump announced a 100% tariff on China and new export controls on key software products on October 10 [26][27][28]. 2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - China's export trade situation [29]. Chapter 3: Market Interpretation - **Unilateral Trend and Fund Flow**: The container shipping index (European route) futures prices showed a wide - range volatile trend. Technically, there is a short - term downward expectation. Market sentiment is relatively bearish as the net short positions of profitable players and foreign investors have slightly increased [31]. - **Basis Structure**: The SCFIS European route continued to decline with a slightly narrowing decline. The basis of the main contract EC2510 decreased compared with the previous week. As the delivery month approaches, the basis has fallen to a relatively reasonable range. Affected by the contract change, the basis rate has significantly decreased, and caution is needed for hedging at the current level [35]. - **Calendar Spread Structure**: The spreads of the container shipping European route inter - month contracts EC2510 - 2512, EC2510 - 2602, and EC2512 - 2602 were - 449.9 points, - 216.9 points, and 233.0 points respectively. The decline in each month's contract price was mainly due to geopolitical risks and macro - factors, with a greater negative impact on far - month contracts. Traders can try the 10 - 12 contract positive spread arbitrage [40]. Chapter 4: Profit Analysis - In the first half of the year, mainstream shipping companies such as COSCO SHIPPING Holdings, Maersk, and CMA CGM Group had relatively good profit and revenue performance, while some shipping companies such as ONE and Yang Ming Marine Transport saw a significant reduction in profits compared with the same period last year. Most shipping companies still achieved profitability, indicating that the current market is not bad. For the second half of the year, liner companies believe that uncertainty has increased, and they will operate more cautiously, which may affect freight rates from the supply and cost sides [44].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Core Viewpoints - The current focus of the meal futures market is on the export demand of US soybeans under the context of China-US negotiations. The US government subsidizes farmers with tariff revenues, but the market expects the price to remain in a narrow range at the bottom until actual Chinese purchase orders are placed. The suspension of the US Department of Agriculture and the October USDA report are also points of concern. The planting progress of Brazilian soybeans is improving, and there are no major issues with the new crop. The upside of the domestic soybean complex is limited by high inventories in the near term, and the market is expected to rebound with reduced sensitivity and amplitude. The domestic rapeseed complex is mainly influenced by the results of China-Canada negotiations and the supply recovery expectations and soybean meal prices [4]. - There is still a bullish sentiment for the far - month contracts due to the supply - demand gap, and the Brazilian export premium supports the far - month contract prices from the cost side [5]. - The near - month supply is under pressure as the port and oil mill inventories of imported soybeans in China are high, the oil mill crushing volume is rising, and the soybean meal is in a seasonal inventory accumulation trend. The rapeseed meal follows the decline of soybean meal but is slightly stronger. The rising warehouse receipt pressure of soybean and rapeseed meal also dominates the near - month supply pressure narrative on the market [6]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Oilseed Price Range Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for soybean meal is 2800 - 3300, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 13.7% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 27.9%.

Report Overview - Report Title: Iron Ore Risk Management Report - Report Date: October 13, 2025 Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - Short - term market trends follow the macro situation. If Sino - US relations ease, the valuation will rise; if the negotiations fluctuate, the price will correct. The iron ore fundamentals are under marginal pressure, with neutral - to - high shipments, inventory accumulating above the seasonal level. Downstream hot metal production is supported, but steel demand is weak, inventory is piling up, and profits are declining. The price is expected to rise first and then fall, oscillating within a range [3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Forecast - The price forecast range for the iron ore 11 - contract in October is 780 - 850, with the current at - the - money option IV at 19.69% and the historical volatility quantile at 11.3% [2]. Risk Management Strategies Inventory Management - For those with current iron ore inventory worried about future price drops (long risk exposure), strategies include directly short - selling iron ore futures (I2511) to lock in profits with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 840 - 850, and selling call options (I2511 - C - 850) to collect premiums with a 30% ratio by selling at high prices [2]. Procurement Management - For those planning to purchase iron ore in the future and worried about price increases (short risk exposure), strategies include directly going long on iron ore futures (I2511) to lock in costs with a 30% hedging ratio at an entry range of 780 - 790, and selling out - of - the - money put options (I2511 - P - 790). If the price falls below the strike price, hold long futures positions with a 40% ratio by selling at high prices [2]. Factors Affecting Prices Positive Factors - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp and is expected to cut twice more this year, leading to loose global financial conditions and an expected upward movement of the global manufacturing PMI. Hot metal production remains at a high level. There are short - term supply disruptions, and the "Trump TACO" factor [4]. Negative Factors - With high hot metal production, steel inventory remains high, putting pressure on the fundamentals. Although rebar production cuts have relieved inventory pressure, hot metal is being redirected to hot - rolled coil production, causing hot - rolled coil inventory to accumulate above the seasonal level. Iron ore shipments are increasing, with non - mainstream shipments at a seasonal high, and global iron ore shipments have turned from a cumulative year - on - year negative to positive. After pre - holiday steel mill restocking, port iron ore inventory has started to accumulate above the seasonal level. Macro - level positive factors have been fully priced in, and the anti - involution trend in the industrial sector has not continued [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - The intraday decline of Shanghai Nickel and stainless steel was mainly affected by the broader market, and the fundamental logic temporarily failed. The quota for nickel ore in Indonesia is expected to decline in 2026, while the new energy sector is entering a peak season with strong downstream demand. Nickel iron prices lack upward momentum, and stainless steel may be weak due to profit pressure and weak demand. There are both positive and negative factors in the market, and macro - level attention should be paid to the subsequent development of Sino - US tariffs [3]. Summaries by Related Catalogs Price and Volatility Forecast - The price range forecast for Shanghai Nickel is 118,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 15.17% and a historical percentile of 3.2%. The price range forecast for stainless steel is 12,500 - 13,100 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 7.78% and a historical percentile of 2.1% [2]. Risk Management Strategies Shanghai Nickel - **Inventory management**: When facing product price decline and inventory impairment risk, sell Shanghai Nickel futures (NI main contract) with a 60% hedging ratio and sell call options (over - the - counter/on - exchange options) with a 50% hedging ratio, both with a strategy grade of 2 [2]. - **Procurement management**: When worried about raw material price increases, buy far - month Shanghai Nickel contracts (far - month NI contracts) according to the production plan, sell put options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options), and buy out - of - the - money call options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options), with strategy grades of 3, 1, and 3 respectively [2]. Stainless Steel - **Inventory management**: When facing product price decline and inventory impairment risk, sell stainless steel futures (SS main contract) with a 60% hedging ratio and sell call options (over - the - counter/on - exchange options) with a 50% hedging ratio, both with a strategy grade of 2 [3]. - **Procurement management**: When worried about raw material price increases, buy far - month stainless steel contracts (far - month SS contracts) according to the production plan, sell put options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options), and buy out - of - the - money call options (on - exchange/over - the - counter options), with strategy grades of 3, 1, and 3 respectively [3]. Market Analysis Core Contradictions - Shanghai Nickel and stainless steel declined due to the broader market. Nickel ore quota in Indonesia may decrease in 2026. The new energy sector is in a peak season with high demand. Nickel iron prices are weak, and stainless steel has profit and demand issues. There are export利好 factors for stainless steel, and attention should be paid to Sino - US tariffs [3]. Positive Factors - Indonesia shortens the nickel ore quota license period, changes in mining area management, progress in nickel smelting projects, favorable WTO rulings, and extension of Indian BIS certification exemption [5]. Negative Factors - High pure nickel inventory, Sino - US tariff disturbances, and weak stainless steel demand [5]. Nickel and Stainless Steel Disk Data - **Nickel**: The prices of Shanghai Nickel main contract and related contracts, as well as LME nickel 3M, all declined, with trading volume and open interest also decreasing, while the position of warehouse receipts increased slightly [5]. - **Stainless steel**: The prices of stainless steel contracts declined, but trading volume and open interest increased significantly, and the position of warehouse receipts decreased slightly [6]. Inventory Data - Domestic social nickel inventory is 43,694 tons, an increase of 2,866 tons; LME nickel inventory is 242,094 tons, an increase of 4,716 tons; stainless steel social inventory is 905.6 tons, a decrease of 3.4 tons; nickel pig iron inventory is 29,236 tons, an increase of 584 tons [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the crude oil industry is "Oscillating Weakly" [7] Core Views - The core contradiction in the current crude oil market is the resonance mismatch between short - term demand concerns triggered by economic and trade frictions and the long - term fundamental situation of supply - demand surplus. The short - term shock amplifies the decline, but the fundamental situation is the core suppressing force [1] - In the short term, the contradiction focuses on "whether the economic and trade frictions can ease" and "the rhythm of the slowdown in the decline". In the long term, the core game lies in "the digestion speed of the supply surplus" and "the recovery strength of global demand" [1] Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Core Contradiction and Strategy Suggestions 1.1 Core Contradiction - The core contradiction is the resonance mismatch between short - term demand concerns from economic and trade frictions and long - term supply - demand surplus fundamentals. Trump's tariff threat, reduction of Brent speculative net long positions, and EIA's warning of supply surplus led to a more than 5% plunge in WTI crude oil, breaking below $60 per barrel. OPEC+ increased production by 400,000 barrels per day in September, the US export was nearly 5 million barrels per day, and China's imports in September decreased by 1.2 million barrels per day month - on - month to the lowest level of the year [1] 1.2 Speculative Strategy Suggestions - The market is expected to be oscillating weakly, and the recommended month - spread strategy is backwardation arbitrage [7] Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Focus Events 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Negative Information**: Geopolitical risk premium subsided as the cease - fire between Israel and Hamas took effect, reducing concerns about Middle East supply disruptions. Trump's tariff policy upgrade on October 10 triggered a sharp decline in crude oil prices. OPEC+ production increased by 400,000 barrels per day in September, and the restart of oil exports in the Iraqi Kurdish region is expected to increase production in October. US crude oil exports reached nearly 5 million barrels per day, and the increase in water - borne crude oil will boost visible inventory. Asian demand, especially China's, weakened, with China's imports in September dropping to 9.6 million barrels per day [8][9] 2.2 Next Week's Focus Events - Monitor the progress of Red Sea shipping recovery, Trump's tariff policy developments, and the OPEC+ informal meeting on October 17 to see if production cuts or increases will occur [11] Chapter 3: Disk Interpretation 3.1 Volume, Price, and Capital Interpretation - The crude oil futures market has been weak recently. Trump's tariff threat and supply - demand imbalance due to OPEC+ production increase and US exports led to price declines. The market sentiment is bearish, with a significant reduction in Brent speculative net long positions [13] 3.2 Inner and Outer Disk Analysis - **Inner Disk**: The SC crude oil futures main contract 2511 closed at 466.2 yuan per barrel, down 3.71% for the week. The MACD indicator shows weak momentum, and the price has broken below multiple moving averages. The trading volume was 112,232 lots, and the open interest increased by 3,872 lots to 28,515 lots [15][16] - **Outer Disk**: On October 10, the WTI main contract settled at $58.9 per barrel, down 3.25% from the previous week, and the Brent main contract settled at $62.73 per barrel, down 2.79%. As of October 7, the Brent crude oil futures open interest decreased by 78,946 lots week - on - week, and the managed funds' net long positions decreased by 60,824 lots [17] Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Crude Oil Market Month - Spread Tracking - The current Brent and WTI crude oil month - spreads maintain a slight backwardation structure, which is expected to deepen in the context of a weak fundamental situation and falling oil prices [25] 4.2 Crude Oil Regional Spread Tracking - The spread between SC and Brent crude oil has recovered, with the outer disk falling more this week [29] 4.3 Crude Oil Downstream Valuation Tracking - Recently, the crude oil cracking spread shows a clear differentiation of "strong diesel, weak gasoline". Diesel spreads are supported by winter demand, while gasoline spreads are pressured by weak demand. This differentiation is a result of energy transformation and geopolitical games [42] Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 5.1 Supply - Side Tracking - From September 27 to October 3, US crude oil production was 13.629 million barrels per day, up 124,000 barrels per day week - on - week. From October 4 to 10, the number of active oil rigs in the US was 418, down 4 rigs week - on - week [65] 5.2 Demand - Side Tracking - From September 27 to October 3, US refinery crude oil input was 16.297 million barrels per day, up 129,000 barrels per day week - on - week, and the refinery utilization rate was 92.4%, up 1 percentage point. From October 3 to 9, the capacity utilization rate of independent refineries in China was 62.24%, down 0.52 percentage points week - on - week, and that of major refineries was 82.26%, up 0.98 percentage points [67] 5.3 Inventory - Side Tracking - As of October 3, US commercial crude oil inventory increased by 3.715 million barrels week - on - week, strategic petroleum inventory increased by 285,000 barrels, and Cushing oil inventory decreased by 763,000 barrels [69] 5.4 Balance Sheet Tracking - EIA's September report predicts that global oil demand will increase by 740,000 barrels per day in 2025. Global oil supply reached a record 106.9 million barrels per day in August. Refinery throughput is expected to decline in October due to seasonal maintenance. Global oil inventory increased in July, and the benchmark crude oil price continued to fall in August [71][72][73]
