Report Information - Report Title: Copper Industry Risk Management Daily Report [1] - Date: September 11, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Nanhua Non-ferrous Metals Research Team [2] - Analyst: Xiao Yufei [3] Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Core View - Affected by the significantly lower-than-expected US non-farm payroll data, the gold price rose sharply and the Shanghai copper price dropped significantly on the night of last Friday, indicating a significant decline in investors' risk preference and demand expectations. On Wednesday night, affected by the low PPI data, investors continued to bet on the Fed's interest rate cut, leading to a rise in copper prices. Fundamentally, on the supply side, multiple research institutions predict that China's refined copper production this month will decline by 4%-5% month-on-month, the first decline in September since 2016. The operating rate of smelters relying on scrap copper or anode copper is expected to decline by 8.3 percentage points to 59.9% month-on-month, further amplifying the effect of supply contraction. On the demand side, the weekly operating rate of copper rods increased by 1.66 percentage points to 69.78% month-on-month. Affected by Document No. 770, the operating situation of recycled copper rods is still unclear. In the short term, copper prices may first decline and then rise. The impact of the weak US employment data on copper prices may continue, and in the short term, copper prices may still seek support around 79,000 yuan per ton. If the non-farm payroll data does not ferment further, combined with the expected month-on-month increase in the operating rate of copper rods and the decline in LME copper inventories, copper prices may find support at the 20-day moving average and still have the potential to rise above 80,000 yuan per ton [4]. Key Points Summary by Section Copper Price Volatility and Risk Management Suggestions - **Copper Price Volatility**: The latest copper price is 79,790 yuan/ton, with a monthly price range forecast of 73,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton. The current volatility is 7.65%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility is 4.2% [3]. - **Risk Management Suggestions**: - **Inventory Management**: When the finished product inventory is high and there are concerns about price drops, for long spot positions, it is recommended to sell 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 82,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of the call option CU2511C82000 when the volatility is relatively stable [3]. - **Raw Material Management**: When the raw material inventory is low and there are concerns about price increases, for short spot positions, it is recommended to buy 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 78,000 yuan/ton [3]. Copper Futures and Spot Data - **Futures Data**: - The latest price of the Shanghai copper main contract is 79,790 yuan/ton, with no daily change.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Currently, the self - driving force of PE is still weak. It is in a pattern of decreasing supply and increasing demand, but the slow recovery of downstream demand limits the upward push on PE. It is expected to be in a volatile pattern, waiting for a significant demand recovery signal on the spot side to drive PE up [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Price Forecast and Hedging Strategy - The monthly price range forecast for polyethylene is 7150 - 7400 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 6.09% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 0.8% [2]. - For inventory management with high finished - product inventory, it is recommended to short plastic futures (L2601) with a 25% hedging ratio at 7300 - 7350 yuan/ton and sell call options (L2601C7400) with a 50% hedging ratio at 70 - 100 [2]. - For procurement management with low standing inventory, it is recommended to buy plastic futures (L2601) with a 50% hedging ratio at 7150 - 7200 yuan/ton and sell put options (L2601P7100) with a 75% hedging ratio at 70 - 100 [2]. Core Contradiction - Although PE supply is expected to decrease in September due to high - volume device maintenance and demand is expected to increase as downstream moves from the off - season to the peak season, the slow recovery of demand and weak base - strengthening trend limit the upward push on PE [3]. 利多 and 利空 Factors - **Liduo Factors**: Demand is expected to improve month - on - month; the commissioning of ExxonMobil's 500,000 - ton LDPE new device is expected to be postponed; there are still many device overhauls in September, leading to a de - stocking pattern in the balance sheet [4]. - **Likong Factors**: The current demand recovery speed is slow; the current LLDPE inventory is at a high level [5]. Daily Data Table - **Futures Prices and Spreads**: Plastic main base - spread was - 16 yuan/ton on September 10, 2025, with a daily change of 3 yuan/ton and a weekly change of - 14 yuan/ton.

Report Summary Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The current market is in the fruit expansion period of apples, and the focus is on the delivery of new apples. New late Fuji apples may have a high opening price, but it's uncertain if the price will continue to rise. There may be a polarization of high - quality apples having high prices and poor - quality apples having low prices [4]. - There are both bullish and bearish factors in the apple market. Bullish factors include low inventory in production areas and unstable weather causing potential yield reduction. Bearish factors are that the overall yield reduction is less than expected, the impact of off - season fruits, and weak consumption [5][6][8]. Summary by Directory Apple Price Interval Prediction - The predicted monthly price interval for apples is 7800 - 8400, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 10.5% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 37.6% [3]. Apple Risk Management Strategy - **Inventory Management**: For those worried about a new apple harvest and low purchase prices, they can short apple futures (AP2510) with a 50% hedging ratio at 8300 - 8400 and sell call options (AP2511C8400) with a 50% hedging ratio at 30 - 40 to lock in profits and reduce costs [3]. - **Procurement Management**: For those worried about rising apple prices due to old - crop inventory decline and new - crop yield reduction, they can buy apple futures (AP2510) with a 50% hedging ratio at 8000 - 8100 and sell put options (AP2511P7900) with a 50% hedging ratio at 50 - 60 to lock in procurement costs and reduce costs [3]. Core Contradiction - The market is in the fruit expansion period, and the focus is on new - apple delivery. New late Fuji apples may have a high opening price, and there may be a price polarization [4]. Bullish Factors - Low inventory in production areas and fast de - stocking in the early stage support the market. Unstable weather in production areas may lead to a large yield reduction in the northwest [5]. Bearish Factors - The overall yield reduction is less than expected, and there is even an expected increase in production. The peak season of off - season fruits impacts the apple market, and consumption is weak. The recent slowdown in inventory decline and small fruit size may lead to low prices [6][8]. Apple Futures and Spot Price Changes - Futures prices of different contracts (AP01, AP03, etc.) have different daily and weekly changes. Spot prices of different apple varieties (Qixia 80, Luochuan 70, etc.) also have corresponding changes. The profit on the futures market decreased by 17.08% daily and 17.56% weekly, and the theoretical delivery price is 8600 [6]. Apple Inventory - As of September 5, 2025 (Steel Union data), the national cold - storage inventory was 27.35 (weekly change: - 6.62), and the storage capacity ratios in Shandong, Shaanxi, Gansu, etc. also decreased. As of September 4, 2025 (Zhuochuang data), the national cold - storage inventory was 30.62 (weekly change: - 4.73), and the storage capacity ratios in relevant regions also decreased. The arrival volume of apples at some wholesale markets in Guangdong increased [10].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market has high expectations for increased sugar production in the 25/26 crushing seasons in India and Thailand, and the recent increase in Brazil's crushing volume, especially with a sugar - making ratio above 55%, has suppressed international sugar prices. In China, apart from a large amount of imports in recent months, consumption has declined year - on - year, and the expected increase in production in the new crushing season has raised market concerns [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Sugar Price Forecast and Risk Management - **Price Range Forecast**: The predicted monthly price range for sugar is 5200 - 5700, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 5.13% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 2.2% [3]. - **Inventory Management Strategies**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about falling sugar prices, they can short Zhengzhou sugar futures (SR2611) at 5600 - 5650 with a 50% hedging ratio, and sell call options (SR511C5600) at 40 - 50 with a 50% hedging ratio [3]. - **Procurement Management Strategies**: For enterprises with low regular procurement inventory, they can buy Zhengzhou sugar futures (SR2611) at 5450 - 5500 with a 25% hedging ratio, and sell put options (SR511P5400) at 20 - 25 with a 25% hedging ratio [3]. 3.2 Core Contradictions - High expectations of increased production in India and Thailand's 25/26 crushing seasons, increased crushing volume and high sugar - making ratio in Brazil, large imports in China, decreased consumption, and expected production increase in the new crushing season are suppressing sugar prices [4]. 3.3利多 and利空 Factors - **利多 Factors**: India's 2024/25 crushing season's ending sugar inventory is sufficient for domestic consumption in 2025. China has suspended imports of Thai syrup and premixed powder. Brazil has increased the mandatory blending ratio of ethanol and biodiesel. Trump said Coca - Cola will use sugar as a beverage additive again, and Pepsi may follow [5]. - **利空 Factors**: In the 2024/25 crushing season, Guangxi's sugar production increased despite less cane input. Analysts expect Brazil's 25/26 crushing season's sugar production to increase by 5% to 46 million tons. Thailand's 24/25 crushing season's production is expected to reach 10.39 million tons. India's early monsoon may lead to a strong production recovery in the 25/26 crushing season. China's sugar imports in July increased significantly, and syrup imports also had some changes. Brazil's mid - southern region had a large increase in sugar production in the first half of August. China's sugar sales and inventory data show some trends [5][6][7][8]. 3.4 Price Data - **Base Difference**: On September 10, 2025, the base differences between different regions and futures contracts showed various daily and weekly changes [9]. - **Futures Price and Spread**: Futures contract prices such as SR01 - SR11 and spreads between different contracts had different daily and weekly changes on September 10, 2025 [10]. - **Spot Price and Regional Spread**: Spot prices in regions like Nanning, Liuzhou, Kunming, and Rizhao, as well as regional spreads, had different daily and weekly changes on September 10, 2025 [11]. - **Sugar Import Price**: Import prices from Brazil and Thailand, both within and outside the quota, and the price differences between domestic regions and imported sugar had daily and weekly changes on September 10, 2025 [12][13].

Report Information - Report Title: Ferroalloy Industry Risk Management Daily Report - Date: September 10, 2025 - Author: Chen Mintao (Z0022731) [1] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The recent trend of ferroalloys mainly follows the price trend of coking coal. After the military parade, the logic of steel mill production restrictions gradually disappeared, and a major bearish factor restricting coking coal also faded. On Friday, news of anti - involution emerged again, leading to significant increases in popular varieties such as polysilicon and coking coal. Ferroalloys, which were near the cost line after a decline, also rebounded. The expected decline in ferroalloy production profit means there is limited incentive for further production increases. With the arrival of the flat - water season, the output in the southern silicon - manganese production areas will gradually decline. The term structure of ferroalloys is gradually improving, with some contract structures changing from contango to backwardation, which is favorable for short - term price increases. However, the term structure of coking coal on the raw material side has not improved, and its contango has deepened. The long - term trading logic lies in the anti - involution expectation. The market still has some momentum, and there are expectations of supply - side contraction. The market's long - short logic is a game between strong expectations and weak reality. The widening price difference between the main raw materials of ferrosilicon and silicon - manganese, namely semi - coke and manganese ore, makes it cost - effective to go long on the price difference between the two silicons. It is recommended to go long on the 01 price difference of the two silicons at - 400. It is also suggested to lightly go long on the ferrosilicon main contract 11 at around 5450 and the silicon - manganese main contract 01 at around 5700. However, if there is no substantial progress in anti - involution, the risk of a sharp fall after a rise is relatively high [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Ferroalloy Price Range Forecast - Ferrosilicon price range forecast (monthly): 5300 - 6000, current volatility (20 - day rolling): 15.74%, current volatility historical percentile (3 - year): 34.5% [3] - Silicon - manganese price range forecast (monthly): 5300 - 6000, current volatility (20 - day rolling): 15.67%, current volatility historical percentile (3 - year): 29.1% [3] Ferroalloy Hedging - **Inventory Management**: When the finished - product inventory is high and there are concerns about a decline in ferroalloy prices, to prevent inventory depreciation losses, enterprises can short ferroalloy futures (SF2511, SM2601) according to their inventory levels to lock in profits and cover production costs. The selling side is recommended, with a hedging ratio of 15% and an entry range of SF: 6200 - 6250, SM: 6400 - 6500 [3] - **Procurement Management**: When the regular procurement inventory is low and procurement is planned based on orders, to prevent rising ferroalloy prices from increasing procurement costs, enterprises can buy ferroalloy futures (SF2511, SM2601) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance. The buying side is recommended, with a hedging ratio of 25% and an entry range of SF: 5100 - 5200, SM: 5300 - 5400 [3] Core Contradictions - The short - term upward trend of ferroalloys is affected by the price trend of coking coal and anti - involution news. The production profit decline and the flat - water season will lead to a decrease in production. The term structure of ferroalloys is improving, while that of coking coal is not. The long - term trading logic is based on anti - involution expectations, and the market is in a game between strong expectations and weak reality [4] 利多解读 (Positive Factors) - **Ferrosilicon**: The operating rate of ferrosilicon production enterprises is 36.34%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.2%. Ferrosilicon warehouse receipts are 91,500 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 7.76%, and the total inventory is 158,100 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.47% [6] - **Silicon - manganese**: The government's strict control policies on high - energy - consuming industries may lead to industrial structure adjustment and upgrading in the silicon - manganese industry. South 32 announced its manganese ore quotation for China in October 2025, with South African semi - carbonate manganese ore at $4.1 per ton - degree (+0.05) and Australian manganese ore at $4.5 per ton - degree (+0.05). There are market rumors about changes in the shipping situation of Gabonese ore, with a possible reduction in October, which may affect manganese ore prices and thus the cost of manganese - silicon [6] 利空解读 (Negative Factors) - **Ferrosilicon**: The enterprise inventory of ferrosilicon is 66,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 5.88%, and the demand from the five major steel products is 20,100 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.43%. Ferrosilicon output is 115,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.68% [7] - **Silicon - manganese**: In the long run, the sluggish real - estate market and the decline of the black - related sector have raised doubts about the growth of steel terminal demand, resulting in relatively weak demand for silicon - manganese. The enterprise inventory of silicon - manganese is 160,500 tons, a month - on - month increase of 7.72%, and the demand from the five major steel products is 123,700 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.37% [7] Daily Data - **Ferrosilicon**: The report provides daily data on ferrosilicon basis, futures spreads, spot prices, raw material prices, and warehouse receipts from September 3 to September 10, 2025, including data from different regions such as Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, and Qinghai [8] - **Silicon - manganese**: The report provides daily data on silicon - manganese basis, futures spreads, spot prices, raw material prices, and warehouse receipts from September 3 to September 10, 2025, including data from different regions such as Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, and Guizhou [9][10] Term Structure and Seasonal Charts - The report includes term structure spread charts for ferrosilicon, silicon - manganese, and coking coal, as well as seasonal charts for ferrosilicon and silicon - manganese market prices, basis, and futures spreads [11][12][13]

Summary by Directory EC Risk Management Strategy Recommendations - For position management, if one has already obtained positions but the shipping capacity is full or the booked cargo volume is poor, and there are concerns about falling freight rates, to prevent losses, one can short container shipping index futures based on the company's positions to lock in profits. The recommended hedging tool is EC2510, with a suggested selling entry range of 1350 - 1450 [2]. - For cost management, if shipping companies increase blank sailings or the market peak season is approaching, and one hopes to book shipping spaces according to order situations, to prevent rising freight rates from increasing transportation costs, one can buy container shipping index futures at present to determine the booking cost in advance. The recommended hedging tool is EC2510, with a suggested buying entry range of 1150 - 1250 [2]. Core Contradictions - In the morning session of the container shipping index (European line) futures, there was obvious early buying by bulls, but they were defeated by the weak spot market expectations. The market was in a stalemate between bulls and bears and ended in consolidation [3]. - As of the close, all contracts had varying degrees of position increases, with the EC2512 contract having the largest increase in positions. Except for the two rebounding forward contracts, it had the smallest decline [3]. - From the changes in the positions of the top 20 institutional holders on the exchange, in the EC2510 contract, bulls reduced their positions by 293 to 25,913, bears increased their positions by 288 to 28,509, and the trading volume decreased by 7,636 to 17,281 (bilateral) [3].
