1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core View of the Report - The probability of the USD/CNY spot exchange rate returning to the "6 era" within the year is still low, but it has increased compared to the previous expectation. The operating range is likely to be between 6.90 - 7.25, with the core fluctuation range more concentrated between 7.00 - 7.20. The overall appreciation space is relatively limited, but the depreciation momentum is accumulating [1]. - The USD/CNY spot exchange rate in Q4 2025 may have potential conditions for upward - fluctuating, but the actual increase depends on the central bank's policy attitude and regulatory signals, as well as the verification of the Chinese economy [2][19]. - The potential capital inflow can provide phased support for the RMB, but its sustainability and actual impact scale should not be linearly extrapolated. The Q4 2025 operating environment of the USD/CNY spot exchange rate will probably be in the cycle combination of "loose money and weak broad credit", which provides a core operating basis for "slowing down the appreciation rhythm" [3]. - The US dollar index is expected to be volatile and weak, with an operating range of 95 - 102 [6]. - The potential "US dollar settlement wave" has increased the probability of the USD/CNY spot exchange rate falling to the "6 era" within the year, although its formation is still restricted by multiple factors [7][90]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views - **Strategy Suggestions** - **Arbitrage Strategy**: Given the expected increase in the volatility of the USD/CNY spot exchange rate in Q4 compared to Q3 but still in a historically low range, a short straddle option strategy can be adopted, selling both out - of - the - money call and put options [1]. - **Hedging Strategy** - **For Purchasing Foreign Exchange**: Prioritize forward exchange locking. Start at the low - middle level (7.00 - 7.10) of the core exchange rate range, and lock 60% - 80% of the positions in batches. If the exchange rate briefly falls to 6.90 - 7.00, an additional 20% - 30% can be locked. For those with non - fixed payment cycles, a combination of "forward exchange locking + optional transaction" can be used [1]. - **For Settling Foreign Exchange**: Anchor at the upper limit of the range. When the exchange rate reaches 7.18 - 7.20, settle 30% - 40% of the US dollars. If it breaks through 7.20, an additional 20% - 30% can be settled [1]. 3.2 Market Conditions and Core Concerns 3.2.1 Market Volatility Conditions - The USD/CNY spot exchange rate maintained a low - volatility operation in Q3 2025. Whether it can increase volatility in Q4 depends on factors such as macro - narrative changes, market trading volume, and the central bank's policy [10][19]. - **Macro - Narrative Perspective**: The shift from low - to high - volatility of the USD/CNY spot exchange rate is related to major macro - narrative changes, following a cycle of "narrative turning - divergence intensifying - volatility rising - cognition converging - volatility converging - new narrative starting". The next potential macro - narrative that may drive volatility is the "Fed's monetary policy shift (substantial and high - rhythm interest rate cuts)" [20]. - **Market Driving Force Perspective**: The inquiry trading volume of the USD/CNY spot exchange rate is positively correlated with its implied volatility. An increase in trading volume may indicate an increase in volatility. Currently, the three indicators (offshore - onshore spread, risk - reversal option, and RMB non - deliverable forward) show relatively stable market expectations for the RMB's appreciation and depreciation. If the trading volume remains above $35 billion, the market may accumulate upward volatility momentum [22][31]. - **Central Bank's Policy Perspective**: The central bank's exchange - rate management in Q4 focuses on the "dynamic balance between enhancing flexibility and preventing risks". It will adopt a "discretionary" approach, adjusting policy tools according to market dynamics. The RMB exchange rate is difficult to form a smooth appreciation or depreciation trend [34][38]. 3.2.2 Stock - Exchange Linkage - The stock market and the foreign - exchange market are related through capital flow and market expectation. The recent "residential deposit migration" to the stock market has provided incremental funds for the A - share market, which is driven by the decline in bank deposit interest rates and the increase in the attractiveness of equity assets [43][49]. - However, the "residential deposit/ total market value" chart has three core flaws and cannot be used as direct evidence of "residential deposit migration". The potential capital inflow can provide phased support for the RMB, but its sustainability and scale depend on the long - term investment attractiveness of the stock market and the domestic economic fundamentals [53][55]. - The Q4 2025 operating environment of the USD/CNY spot exchange rate is likely to be in the cycle of "loose money supply and weak credit expansion", with the appreciation rhythm slowing down. The probability of the RMB forming a trend - based appreciation against the US dollar within the year is still low, but the probability of the RMB exchange rate returning to the "6 era" has increased [63][64]. 3.2.3 External Weak US Dollar Environment - The Fed's interest - rate cut amplitude and rhythm depend on the evolution path of the US economic fundamentals. The September 2025 25 - basis - point interest - rate cut and the weak non - farm employment data have made the issue of "whether the US economy is facing a recession" a key concern [66]. - **Economic Level**: The current US employment market has slowed down but not stalled. Inflation pressure and real - estate market risks restrict the Fed from implementing substantial interest - rate cuts within the year [71][72]. - **Policy Level**: Politically, the short - term policy is likely to remain on the "gradual adjustment" track. If the Fed's independence is interfered with, it may lead to more and larger - scale interest - rate cuts. Overall, the US dollar index is expected to operate in the range of 95 - 102 [73][76]. 3.2.4 US Dollar Settlement Wave - The formation of the US dollar settlement wave has a solid capital foundation, but it also depends on the effective cooperation of enterprise settlement willingness. The factors affecting the RMB exchange rate returning to the "6 era" include the central bank's exchange - rate intermediate - price control, the attractiveness of the domestic equity market, the trend of the US dollar index, and the behavior of enterprises in foreign - exchange transactions [7][85]. 3.3 Q4 Exchange - Rate Trend Judgment - **Benchmark Scenario**: In the context of the Fed's cautious interest - rate cut and the weak recovery of the domestic economy, the USD/CNY spot exchange rate is expected to fluctuate in the range of 7.00 - 7.20, with the depreciation momentum gradually accumulating. There are uncertainties in the domestic economic recovery process and the Fed's interest - rate cut rhythm [91]. - **Upward Risk**: Factors such as the unexpected rebound of US inflation, strong US economic data, a change in global risk preference, and uncertainties in the domestic economic recovery may cause the RMB to face short - term depreciation pressure and may briefly break through the 7.20 mark [91][92]. - **Downward Risk**: If the US inflation continues to fall, the domestic economic recovery exceeds expectations, and domestic policies are actively implemented, the RMB may appreciate, and the USD/CNY spot exchange rate may fall below 7.0 [92]. 3.4 Strategy Suggestions - **Arbitrage Strategy**: In a low - volatility environment, a short straddle option strategy can be adopted, selling both out - of - the - money call and put options. Attention can also be paid to volatility surface arbitrage opportunities, such as constructing a position of "selling near - month straddle combinations + buying far - month straddle combinations" when the near - month implied volatility is significantly higher than the far - month [94]. - **Hedging Strategy** - **For Purchasing Foreign Exchange**: Prioritize forward exchange locking. Start at the low - middle level (7.00 - 7.10) of the core exchange - rate range, and lock 60% - 80% of the positions in batches. For those with non - fixed payment cycles, a combination of "forward exchange locking + optional transaction" can be used [95]. - **For Settling Foreign Exchange**: Anchor at the upper limit of the range. When the exchange rate reaches 7.18 - 7.20, settle 30% - 40% of the US dollars. If it breaks through 7.20, an additional 20% - 30% can be settled, leaving 20% - 30% for subsequent fluctuations [96]. - **Common Risk Warnings** - Avoid excessive speculation and adhere to the "risk - neutral" principle, with the hedging scale matching the actual trade volume [97]. - Dynamically track policies and the market. Adjust hedging positions in time if the USD/CNY spot exchange rate breaks through 7.25 or falls below 7.0 [99]. - Select appropriate tools. Small and medium - sized enterprises should give priority to simple tools such as forwards and options, while large enterprises can combine futures and other tools to optimize strategies but need to be equipped with a professional foreign - exchange management team [99].

Polyester Hedging Strategies - **Inventory Management**: When the finished - product inventory of ethylene glycol is high and there are concerns about price drops, for long - position spot exposure, one can short EG2601 futures (25% hedging ratio, entry range 4320 - 4420) to lock in profits and make up for production costs. Also, buy EG2601P4100 put options (50% hedging ratio, entry range 20 - 30) to prevent large price drops and sell EG2601C4500 call options (50 - 80) to reduce capital costs [2]. - **Procurement Management**: When the procurement of regular inventory is low and one wants to purchase according to orders, for short - position spot exposure, buy EG2601 futures (50% hedging ratio, entry range 4180 - 4250) to lock in procurement costs. Sell EG2601P4100 put options (75% hedging ratio, entry range 50 - 80) to collect premiums and lock in the purchase price if the price drops [2]. Core Contradictions - Ethylene glycol has insufficient fundamental drivers recently. Under the expectation of continuous inventory accumulation after October, it has become a concentrated short - allocation target. With new production capacity coming online, the inventory accumulation expectation in the fourth quarter has advanced and expanded, and the valuation is further pressured. Currently, the inventory accumulation expectation has been mostly priced in, and it is not recommended to continue shorting before its realization. The supply side has little room for unexpected increases, lacking supply elasticity. Considering low inventory, low valuation, and lack of supply elasticity, the short - term downward space is limited, while the upward price has more elasticity if there are unexpected drivers [3]. 利多解读 (Positive Factors) - The increase in thermal coal prices has compressed the profit of marginal coal - based ethylene glycol plants to below the cost line, strengthening cost support. A 750,000 - ton/year ethylene glycol plant in Malaysia has shut down due to technical issues, and the restart time is undetermined, which may lead to additional import reduction in October [4]. 利空解读 (Negative Factors) - A 400,000 - ton/year ethylene glycol plant in Fujian plans to shut down for about two weeks in October (unplanned). The 200,000 - ton ethylene glycol plant of Ningxia Kunpeng plans to start trial production at the end of October, and attention should be paid to the production progress [6].

Core Views - The current core contradictions affecting the ferroalloy market include the contradiction between high supply and weak demand, cost support with electricity price hikes and manganese ore supply disruptions, the contradiction between the improvement of the term structure and capital withdrawal, and the contradiction between anti - involution expectations and weak reality [4][5] - There are both positive and negative factors in the ferroalloy market. Positive factors include potential policy - driven supply reduction and cost support, while negative factors include weak downstream demand and high inventory in some cases [7][8][9] Key Points by Section Ferroalloy Price and Hedging - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range forecast for silicon ferroalloy is 5300 - 6000, with a 20 - day rolling volatility of 12.78% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 19.1%. For silicon manganese, the price range is also 5300 - 6000, with a 20 - day rolling volatility of 11.94% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 12.0% [3] - **Hedging Strategies**: For inventory management with high finished - product inventory, it is recommended to short SF2511 and SM2601 futures at a 15% hedging ratio, with an entry range of 6200 - 6250 for SF and 6400 - 6500 for SM. For procurement management with low inventory, it is recommended to buy SF2511 and SM2601 futures at a 25% hedging ratio, with an entry range of 5100 - 5200 for SF and 5300 - 5400 for SM [3] Core Contradictions - **High Supply and Weak Demand**: Ferroalloy production profit declined in early September, but has since recovered. Production remains at a five - year high, while downstream demand shows no significant improvement, and there may be a "no - peak season" situation [4] - **Cost Support**: Ningxia's electricity price has been raised by 2 cents to 0.4 yuan/degree, and there are rumors of reduced manganese ore shipments from Gabon in October. Although current manganese ore supply is relatively sufficient, short - term disruptions need attention [4] - **Term Structure and Capital Withdrawal**: The term structure of ferroalloys has improved, but the term structure of coking coal has worsened. Ferroalloy positions are decreasing, with silicon ferroalloy's total position at 396,000 lots (down 6% week - on - week) and silicon manganese's at 551,400 lots (down 2.75% week - on - week) [4] - **Anti - Involution Expectations and Weak Reality**: There are expectations of supply reduction, but lack of substantial actions, leading to a high risk of price reversals [5] 利多解读 - **Silicon Ferroalloy**: There are rumors of an increase in the standard for metallurgical industry submerged arc furnaces, and an important article in the "Qiushi" magazine may address industry competition issues. Silicon ferroalloy enterprise inventory is 63,400 tons (down 9.3% week - on - week), and total inventory is 151,500 tons (down 0.53% week - on - week) [7] - **Silicon Manganese**: Strict government policies on high - energy - consuming industries may lead to industry restructuring. There are rumors of reduced manganese ore shipments from Gabon in October, which may affect silicon manganese costs [7] 利空解读 - **Silicon Ferroalloy**: Silicon ferroalloy enterprises maintain high operating rates, while downstream demand is weak [8] - **Silicon Manganese**: In the long term, the real - estate market is sluggish, and there are doubts about steel demand. Silicon manganese inventory is increasing, with enterprise inventory at 198,900 tons (up 19.24% week - on - week), total inventory at 502,300 tons (up 5.97% week - on - week), and Hebei Iron and Steel Group's September silicon manganese price down 200 yuan/ton compared to August [9] Daily Data - **Silicon Ferroalloy**: On September 24, 2025, the basis in Ningxia was - 18, down 100 day - on - day and 68 week - on - week.

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Title: Nanhua Coking Coal and Coke Industry Risk Management Daily Report [1] - Date: September 24, 2025 [1] - Research Team: Nanhua Research Institute, Black Research Team [2] Group 2: Price Forecast and Risk Management Strategies Price Forecast - The monthly price range for coking coal is predicted to be between 1200 - 1350, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 37.90% and a historical percentile of 73.74% [3] - The monthly price range for coke is predicted to be between 1650 - 1850, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 29.18% and a historical percentile of 62.12% [3] Risk Management Strategies - **Inventory Hedging for Coke**: When coke production recovers rapidly, and the spot supply - demand becomes loose, coke enterprises worried about price drops can short - sell the J2601 contract. The recommended hedging ratios are 25% at the entry range of (1780, 1830) and 50% at (1830 - 1880) [3] - **Procurement Management for Coking Coal**: Due to factors like repeated macro - sentiment, low seasonal coking coal mine开工率, and production - overrun inspections, coking plants worried about price increases can long - buy the JM2605 contract. The recommended hedging ratios are 25% at the entry range of (1200, 1250) and 50% at (1150, 1200) [3] Group 3: Black Warehouse Receipt Daily Report Warehouse Receipt Quantity Changes - For various black commodities such as rebar, hot - rolled coil, iron ore, coking coal, coke, ferrosilicon, and silicomanganese, the report shows their warehouse receipt quantities on September 24, 23, and 17, as well as the daily and weekly changes [4] Market Situation Analysis - Downstream pre - holiday stockpiling improved the coking coal inventory structure, and there was a price - support sentiment at the mine mouth, leading to a stop in the decline and a rebound of coking coal spot prices. The second - round price cut for coke was fully implemented, and the cost of coking coal for furnaces increased, squeezing coking profits. Some coke enterprises tried to raise prices, but it was difficult to implement before the holiday [4] Outlook and Strategy - "Anti - involution" remains the focus in the second half of the year. Market participants' expectations for the future have improved, and the willingness to hold goods has increased. Coal and coke are not considered as short - allocation in the black series. The high supply pressure of steel and high inventory will limit the rebound height of coal and coke prices. The report does not recommend using coking coal as a short - allocation in the black series and suggests paying attention to the 1 - 5 reverse spread of coal and coke [4] Factors Affecting the Market - **Positive Factors**: Pre - holiday seasonal stockpiling by downstream, improved inventory pressure at mines, price - support at the mine mouth, and attempts by some coke enterprises to raise prices; the second - round price cut for coke improved steel profits, and high pig - iron production provided rigid support for coal and coke demand in the short term; "Anti - involution" is the trading focus, and macro - sentiment will affect the market; the Fed's 25BP interest rate cut and expected further cuts support the overall valuation of commodities [4][6] - **Negative Factors**: High social inventory pressure of finished steel products and lower - than - expected peak - season demand limit the rebound space of coal and coke; high average daily customs clearance at the 288 Port and high coal shipping volume indicate strong imported coal supply [4][7] Group 4: Coal and Coke Price Data Futures Price Data - The report provides detailed data on coking coal and coke futures, including warehouse receipt costs, basis, spreads between different contracts, coking profit, and various ratios such as the ore - coke ratio, screw - coke ratio, and carbon - coal ratio, along with their daily and weekly changes [8] Spot Price Data - It shows the spot prices of various coking coal and coke products, including domestic and imported coal, different types of coke, and their daily and weekly changes. It also presents data on import and export profits, coking profits, and the ratio of coking coal to thermal coal [9][10] Group 5: Graphical Data - The report includes multiple graphs showing historical volatility percentages of coking coal and coke, seasonal customs clearance vehicle numbers at the 288 Port, term - structure spread of coking coal and coke, seasonal patterns of futures spreads and basis, warehouse receipt inventory seasonality, import profit seasonality, coking profit seasonality, and ratio seasonality between different types of coal and thermal coal [11][12][13]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The report suggests paying attention to the central bank's attitude. It points out that the short - term bond market lacks positive drivers, but after continuous declines, there's no need to be overly pessimistic.
