Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "oscillating bearish, pay attention to the stock-bond seesaw" [5] Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The stock-bond seesaw remains the dominant factor, and attention should be paid to long-term bond opportunities. The main policy tone in the second half of the year is a proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy. Although counter-cyclical adjustments such as promoting consumption and major project construction may continue to be introduced, the incremental policies exceeding market expectations may be limited. Liquidity is expected to be loose, which may intensify stock market fluctuations and short-term bond market volatility, making short-term bond market operations more difficult. The supply-demand contradiction in the long-term bond market may be more prominent, with more obvious negative factors [2][3][4] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: Market Review - The stock-bond seesaw logic has led the long-term bond market to effectively break below the 60-day moving average, and this logic may continue to dominate the bond market. However, in the context of loose liquidity, this logic becomes less obvious, making market operations difficult. The Politburo meeting in July set the policy tone for the second half of the year, and the stock-bond seesaw remains the main logic in the bond market [10] Chapter 2: Overview of Important News - The central bank will implement a moderately loose monetary policy in the next stage and maintain ample liquidity. In August, the central bank will conduct a 6000 billion yuan MLF operation, with a net investment of 3000 billion yuan, and a 3000 billion yuan outright reverse repurchase net investment, resulting in a total net investment of 6000 billion yuan in medium-term liquidity for the month. A new policy-based financial instrument worth 500 billion yuan will be launched, focusing on emerging industries and infrastructure. The central bank has increased the re-lending quota for supporting agriculture and small businesses by 100 billion yuan. In July, China's total goods trade import and export value reached 3.91 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. In July, M2 increased by about 8.8% year-on-year, M1 by about 5.6%, and M0 by about 11.8% [13][15] Chapter 3: Analysis of Important Influencing Factors 3.1 Economic Fundamentals - In July, China's official manufacturing PMI was 49.3, a month-on-month decrease of 0.4 percentage points, and the comprehensive PMI output index was 50.2, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points. The official non-manufacturing PMI was 50.1, a month-on-month decrease of 0.4 percentage points. China's Q2 GDP increased by 5.2% year-on-year and 1.1% quarter-on-quarter, both exceeding expectations. In July, the total goods trade import and export value reached 3.91 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. Although the economic data shows certain resilience, the economic downward pressure has increased, and counter-cyclical adjustments need to be continuously strengthened [16] 3.2 Policy Aspect - At the end of July, the broad money M2 balance was 329.94 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.8%. The narrow money M1 balance was 111.06 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.6%. The difference between M2 and M1 growth rates was 3.2%, narrowing slightly. The social financing stock reached 431.26 trillion yuan, a 9% increase from July last year, with a slight increase of 0.1 percentage point in the growth rate. The new social financing in the month was 1.16 trillion yuan, 389.3 billion yuan more than last year, mainly driven by government bond issuance [18] 3.3 Capital Aspect - Since July 25, DR007 has been continuously declining, and the cost of funds has decreased. The central bank will implement a moderately loose monetary policy in the next stage. A potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in the second half of the year may further open up space for domestic monetary policy easing, but the adjustment of monetary policy still depends on domestic demand. According to the Politburo meeting in July, the liquidity in the second half of the year will likely remain moderately loose, and the probability of an unexpectedly loose monetary policy is low [18] 3.4 Supply and Demand Aspect - The National Development and Reform Commission will allocate the third batch of funds for consumer goods trade-in in July this year and formulate a monthly and weekly usage plan for national subsidy funds. The support from the ultra-long-term special treasury bond funds for equipment renewal this year is 200 billion yuan, with the first batch of about 173 billion yuan already allocated to about 7,500 projects in 16 fields. The issuance of special bonds has also accelerated recently [21] 3.5 Sentiment Aspect - The stock-bond ratio has broken through the short-term shock range and declined, indicating that the market pays more attention to the stock market than the bond market, and the market risk appetite has increased. Recently, the stock-bond ratio has slightly decreased but is still in a high range compared to the previous period. Short-term bonds are more affected by the capital aspect, while long-term bonds are more significantly affected by the stock-bond seesaw [23] Chapter 4: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - The central bank will implement a moderately loose monetary policy in the next stage, and loose liquidity may be the main policy tone in the second half of the year. Loose liquidity combined with the expectation of a rising stock market may intensify stock market fluctuations and short-term bond market volatility. The stock-bond seesaw logic remains the main logic, and the logic of long-term bonds is relatively clear, so it is recommended to pay attention [26]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View In the short - term, the steel price may fluctuate and strengthen. The fundamentals need time to improve continuously. The construction steel output may continue to decline slightly due to seasonal factors, while the output of the five major steel products may rise slightly in the short - term. The bottom of building material demand may have appeared and will gradually recover later, and manufacturing demand remains resilient due to export support. However, the steel price lacks strong driving forces and is expected to stay within a certain range [29]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 This Week's Market Review This week, coking coal prices increased twice, strengthening market expectations. But due to weak fundamentals, market sentiment returned to rationality, and prices showed a volatile downward trend. The average national price of rebar decreased by 49 yuan/ton, and the average price of high - speed wire rods decreased by 45 yuan/ton compared with last week [2][4]. 3.2 Macro and Industrial News - The State Council executive meeting pointed out that policies on large - scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade - in have achieved obvious results, and further policy support is needed to release domestic demand potential [6]. - The 1 - year and 5 - year - plus LPR remained unchanged for three consecutive months in August [6]. - The US added 407 product categories to the steel and aluminum tariff list with a 50% tax rate [6]. - In July, the wholesale volume of passenger cars reached a record high, and the production of various household appliances showed different trends [7]. - From August 11 - 17, the total iron ore inventory at seven major ports in Australia and Brazil decreased slightly [7]. - In July, the exports of iron ore and spodumene concentrate from Port Hedland decreased, while manganese ore exports increased [7]. 3.3 Fundamental Analysis The average daily trading volume of building materials from Monday to Friday this week was 9.48 tons, lower than last week's 10.23 tons. Steel demand in the off - season remained weak, with downstream terminals purchasing on demand and merchants having low restocking willingness, resulting in strong short - term market wait - and - see sentiment [10]. 3.4 Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - Supply: Construction steel output may continue to decline slightly due to seasonal factors, while the output of the five major steel products may rise slightly in the short - term [29]. - Demand: The suppression of construction steel demand by high - temperature weather continues, but the bottom of building material demand may have appeared and will gradually recover. Manufacturing demand remains resilient due to export support [29]. - Market: The overall black market closed slightly down. The rebar main contract 10 is expected to stay within the 3050 - 3250 range next week. Attention should be paid to the support around 3100 and the weekly pressure around 3165 [29]. - Investment Strategy: For single - side trading, use range - bound operations; for inter - delivery arbitrage, adopt a wait - and - see approach; for coil - rebar spread, wait and see; for steel profits, wait and see; for option strategies, use， wide - straddle consolidation [2][29].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the coking coal prices in the domestic market fluctuated. The seventh round of coke price increase was fully implemented, strengthening cost support. However, due to policy regulation and insufficient downstream demand, the futures prices were under pressure. The current market pricing logic is gradually returning to fundamental factors. The supply is slightly recovering, but still affected by disruptions. The demand is supported by the rigid needs and low inventories of coking enterprises. The supply - demand contradiction is not prominent for the time being. It is recommended to mainly conduct range - bound operations for single - side trading, and to mainly stay on the sidelines for inter - period arbitrage and coking profit trading [2][4][30] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 This Week's Market Review - The coking coal prices in the domestic market fluctuated this week. The seventh round of coke price increase was fully implemented, enhancing cost support. But due to policy regulation and insufficient downstream demand follow - up, the futures prices were under pressure [2][4] 3.2 Macroeconomic and Industrial News - On August 22, Premier Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council, emphasizing further strengthening of fiscal, tax, and financial policy support for large - scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade - in policies [6] - The August Loan Prime Rate (LPR) remained unchanged for the third consecutive month, with the 1 - year LPR at 3.0% and the over - 5 - year LPR at 3.5% [6] - The US Department of Commerce included 407 product categories in the steel and aluminum tariff list, with a 50% applicable tax rate [6] - In July, the national passenger car manufacturers' wholesale volume reached 2.22 million, a year - on - year increase of 13% and a month - on - month decrease of 11%. From January to July, the cumulative wholesale volume was 15.5 million, a year - on - year increase of 12.4% [7] - From August 11 - 17, 2025, the total iron ore inventory at seven major ports in Australia and Brazil was 13.037 million tons, a decrease of 178,000 tons compared to the previous period [7] - In July 2025, the iron ore exports from Port Hedland in Australia decreased to 4.59693 million tons, lithium spodumene concentrate exports decreased to 11,965 tons, and manganese ore exports increased to 18,160 tons [7] 3.3 Fundamental Analysis - On the production side, some coal mines had production stoppages or reductions due to their own underground reasons, while most maintained normal production. Due to weakened downstream demand and a slower procurement pace, coal washing plants and traders became more cautious in procurement, and market trading activity declined [2] - On the demand side, after the seventh round of coke price increase, steel mills had high production enthusiasm due to profit support. The steel mill segment showed a structure of "high production, weak inventory reduction, and strong expectations". Coke prices were supported by demand resilience, but the pressure of steel inventory accumulation and potential production restriction policies would limit their upward space [2] 3.4 Market Outlook and Investment Strategies - On the supply side, some coal mines that had stopped or reduced production resumed operations, but there were still new production stoppages and reductions in some areas. The average daily customs clearance at the Ganqimaodu Port increased by 239 vehicles to 1,263 vehicles [30] - On the demand side, coke production increased slightly, but coking enterprises maintained a demand - based procurement strategy, and upstream coal mines began to accumulate a small amount of inventory [30] - Overall, the supply recovery was limited due to continuous disruptions, and the demand was supported by the rigid needs and low inventories of coking enterprises. The supply - demand contradiction was not prominent. It was recommended to mainly conduct range - bound operations for single - side trading, and to mainly stay on the sidelines for inter - period arbitrage and coking profit trading [30]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the context of the accelerated market for interest rate cut expectations in September, risk - averse assets will be suppressed, while silver, which is positively correlated with risk appetite, will have a catch - up rally, and the increase of silver will be greater than that of gold [2][28] - The US economy is under pressure despite some positive economic data, and the US economic data shows a mixed picture with high economic resilience [3][16] - The RMB exchange rate has good resilience, and its impact on gold is limited, so it is not a key consideration [4][24] Summary by Directory 1. Chapter 1: Market Review - In the short - term, gold and silver may rise synchronously under the impetus of the Fed's interest rate cut expectations. In the medium - term, their trends will diverge, with gold in a high - level shock and silver entering an accelerated upward trend. However, the rise of silver will be affected by the short - term fluctuations of gold [10] 2. Chapter 2: Overview of Important News - Fed Chairman Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting increased the market's bet on a September interest rate cut, and the market fully digested the expectation of two interest rate cuts by the end of the year [13] - US retail sales in July had a relatively large month - on - month increase for two consecutive months, and the year - on - year increase was also significant. The number of initial jobless claims last week reached a new high since June, and the number of continued jobless claims reached the highest level since November 2021. The US August S&P Global Manufacturing PMI initial value reached the highest level since May 2022 [13][15] - Russia is ready to negotiate on the Ukraine issue in various forms, and Putin proposed to raise the level of the direct negotiation delegation between Russia and Ukraine [15] - The Fed decided to maintain the federal funds rate target range at 4.25% - 4.5% in July, and economic activity growth slowed down in the first half of the year, with inflation slightly high and high uncertainty in the economic outlook [15] 3. Chapter 3: Analysis of Important Influencing Factors 3.1 US Economy and Policy - The US economic data shows a mixed picture. Although there are some positive signs in retail sales and manufacturing PMI, the employment situation is deteriorating, and inflation remains high, indicating that the US economy still has high resilience [16] 3.2 International Economy and Geopolitics - The US and the EU reached a new trade agreement, with the US imposing tariffs on some EU goods and the EU making corresponding concessions and procurement plans. Trump and Putin's meeting may have a positive impact on global political stability. Trump also imposed additional tariffs on Indian and some high - tech products [19] 3.3 Other Financial Markets - The US employment data is poor, the non - manufacturing index is weak, but the service industry PMI is at a high level. Crude oil prices are affected by production cuts and geopolitical situations, and the prices of US stocks, copper, and crude oil may strengthen further due to the increasing expectation of interest rate cuts [20] 3.4 RMB Exchange Rate - The RMB exchange rate passively tracks the US dollar index. Although China's economic data in July is weak, the inflow of foreign capital and the rise of the stock market support the RMB exchange rate. Its impact on gold is limited [4][24] 4. Chapter 4: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - The market believes that a September interest rate cut by the Fed is highly likely, and the market will focus on the magnitude of the interest rate cut. Silver will have a catch - up rally, and its increase will be greater than that of gold [2][28]

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. Core Views - The short - term sentiment for some commodities is positive, such as short - term long positions for live pigs, palm oil, and crude oil; while some are expected to be range - bound, like coking coal, methanol, etc.; and some are expected to be weak, like domestic soybeans [1][2][4][5][12]. - The market for each commodity is affected by various factors including supply, demand, policy, and macro - economic conditions. For example, the live pig market is influenced by supply reduction from farmers' price - holding and increased demand; the coking coal market is affected by supply disruptions and demand from coke enterprises [1][2]. Summary by Commodity Live Pigs - As of August 22, the average slaughter weight was 123.38 kg, up 0.15 kg; the weekly slaughter start - up rate was 28.83%, down 0.18%; the profit from purchasing piglets for breeding was - 214.73 yuan/head, down 10.68 yuan/head; self - breeding profit was - 9.19 yuan/head, down 21.02 yuan/head; and the piglet price was 364.29 yuan/head, down 19.04 yuan/head [1]. - After the price decline, farmers are holding prices. With the weather getting colder, demand slightly increases, and some second - fattening enters the market. The state's purchase and storage can boost prices in the short - term, and with positive macro - economic expectations, short - term long positions can be held, with the LH2511 contract having a support level of 13700. Farmers can choose to sell for hedging according to the slaughter rhythm [1]. Coking Coal - The capacity utilization rate of independent coke enterprises was 74.42%, up 0.08%; the daily coke output was 65.45 (in 10,000 tons), up 0.07; coke inventory was 64.37 (in 10,000 tons), up 1.86; coking coal total inventory was 966.41 (in 10,000 tons), down 10.47; and the available days of coking coal were 11.1 days, down 0.13 days [2]. - Some mines in main production areas have resumed production, but there are new production - halting mines in Shanxi. The average daily customs clearance at the Ganqimao Port has increased. Coke production has increased slightly, but coke enterprises maintain a strategy of purchasing on demand, and upstream mines have started to accumulate inventory slightly. The supply recovery is limited, and the demand is supported by the rigid demand and low inventory of coke enterprises. The short - term futures price is supported, and range - bound operation is recommended [2]. Palm Oil - Malaysia's palm oil production from August 1 - 20 was estimated to increase by 3.03% compared to the same period last month, with different growth rates in different regions [4]. - Indonesia's low inventory in June indicates less inventory pressure this year, which supports the palm oil price. With the approaching consumption season, mid - and downstream enterprises are restocking at low prices. The palm oil price is expected to fluctuate strongly at a high level in the short term [4]. Soybeans - Brazil's 2025/26 soybean production is expected to be 1.765 billion tons, a 3% year - on - year increase; the planting area is expected to reach 48.7 million hectares, a 2% year - on - year increase, the lowest growth rate in five years [5]. - The domestic soybean fundamentals are weak. The state reserve's continuous auction of old soybeans increases supply, and the recent auctions have had a good transaction rate, suppressing the price of 2024 old soybeans. As new soybeans are approaching the market, supply pressure is increasing, and demand has not improved significantly. The domestic soybean price is expected to be weak in the short term [5]. Rebar - The blast furnace start - up rate of 247 steel mills was 83.36%, a 0.23 - percentage - point decrease from last week; the blast furnace iron - making capacity utilization rate was 90.25%, a 0.03 - percentage - point increase; the steel mill profitability rate was 64.94%, a 0.86 - percentage - point decrease; and the daily average hot metal output was 2.4075 million tons, a 0.09 - 10,000 - ton increase [6]. - Some steel mills have short - term rolling mill maintenance and hot metal transfer, resulting in a decline in rebar production. As the off - season is ending, mid - and downstream enterprises are restocking before the parade, and rebar demand has improved month - on - month, with slower inventory accumulation. With the end of the off - season, limited callback space for the futures price is expected, and future focus should be on steel mill production restrictions and terminal demand [6]. Iron Ore - The total inventory of imported iron ore at 47 ports was 144.442 million tons, a 626,300 - ton increase; the daily average port clearance volume was 3.4104 million tons, a 57,600，- ton decrease; and the number of ships at ports was 97, a decrease of 3 [7]. - After Powell's dovish speech, the expectation of a Fed rate cut in September has increased, leading to a slight increase in iron ore prices. Overseas mine shipments have increased month - on - month, and the arrival volume at 45 ports has slightly rebounded. Demand is expected to remain high as hot metal production is increasing slightly. The port inventory is accumulating, and the total inventory is slightly decreasing. The price is expected to fluctuate at the current level [7]. Gold - After Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting, multiple Fed officials made statements, and the Fed still faces various internal differences and challenges. The market has started to trade on the rate - cut expectation. The US dollar index has fallen, and gold has risen [8]. - Gold has a short - term rebound demand, may fluctuate and be bullish in the short term, but remains bearish in the medium term. Attention should be paid to the seesaw effect between the US dollar and gold [8]. Silver - After Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Central Bank Annual Meeting, traders increased their bets on a Fed rate cut in September and fully priced in two rate cuts by the end of the year [8]. - The global risk appetite has increased significantly, which is bullish for silver. The silver price is expected to fluctuate and be bullish [8]. Medium - and Long - Term Treasury Bonds - The central bank will conduct 60 billion yuan of MLF operations on August 25, with 30 billion yuan of MLF maturing in August. After this operation, the central bank will have a net MLF injection of 30 billion yuan this month, the sixth consecutive month of increased operations [9]. - The continuous MLF injection releases medium - term liquidity. With the increasing expectation of a Fed rate cut, the risk appetite in the market has increased. In the context of loose liquidity and the stock - bond seesaw effect, long - term bonds are expected to fluctuate and be bearish. Short - selling long - term bonds at key resistance levels is recommended [9]. Methanol - The market price of methanol in Jiangsu Taicang was 2,295 yuan/ton, a 15 - yuan/ton decrease; the port inventory was 1.076 million tons, a 54,200 - ton increase; the production enterprise inventory was 310,800 tons, a 15,200 - ton increase; the order backlog of sample enterprises was 207,400 tons, a 12,000 - ton decrease; and the downstream total capacity utilization rate was 72.36%, a 0.34 - percentage - point decrease [10]. - Domestic methanol production is at a high level and increasing, downstream demand is stable, and port inventory is continuing to accumulate. The September import volume is expected to remain high. The inland methanol market is slightly weak, and the port basis is stable, with general spot transactions. The methanol 01 contract is expected to fluctuate in the short term, with a support level of 2,415. Observation or short - term long - buying on dips is recommended [10]. Soda Ash - The mainstream price of heavy - grade soda ash nationwide was 1,319 yuan/ton, fluctuating weakly recently; the weekly production was 771,400 tons, a 1.33% increase; the total inventory of soda ash manufacturers was 1.9108 million tons, a 0.9% increase; the float glass start - up rate was 75.34%, unchanged from last week; the average price of float glass nationwide was 1,149 yuan/ton, a 2 - yuan/ton increase; and the total inventory of float glass sample enterprises was 63.606 million weight cases, a 0.28% increase [11]. - Float glass production is stable, with slightly increasing inventory. The domestic soda ash market is stable. Some enterprises are reducing production, and overall supply is expected to decline this week. Downstream demand is average, with rigid procurement. The soda ash 01 contract is expected to fluctuate in the short term, with a support level of 1,310. Observation is recommended [11]. Polypropylene - The mainstream price of East China drawn - grade polypropylene was 7,001 yuan/ton, a 7 - yuan/ton decrease; the capacity utilization rate was 78.23%, a 0.24 - percentage - point increase; the average downstream industry start - up rate was 49.53%, a 0.18 - percentage - point increase; the commercial inventory was 800,600 tons, a 26,800 - ton decrease; and the inventory of Sinopec and PetroChina polyolefins was 730,000 tons, a 20,000 - ton decrease [11]. - Polypropylene production is stable, overall supply is still abundant, and commercial inventory is decreasing but remains higher than the previous two years. In the context of loose supply and demand, commercial inventory is expected to remain at a high level in stages. The market price is fluctuating weakly, and downstream demand has not improved significantly. The PP 01 contract is expected to fluctuate in the short term, with a support level of 7,030. Observation or short - term long - buying on dips is recommended [11]. Crude Oil - As of the week ending August 22, the number of active oil - drilling rigs in the US was 411, a decrease of 1 from the previous week and 72 from the same period last year [12]. - Oil prices have rebounded in the past week. The EIA report shows a decline in crude oil inventory, and India is buying Russian oil, temporarily alleviating concerns about oversupply. The Russia - Ukraine issue remains to be observed. Demand has marginally improved, and short - term long - trading is recommended [12]. PX - The operating rate of the Chinese PX industry increased by 0.3 to 84.6%, at a relatively high level in the same period over the years, with little change in plant operations this week. The Asian PX industry operating rate increased by 2.2% to 76.3%, also at a relatively high level in the same period over the years [13]. - This week, the PX supply - demand situation has weakened marginally. However, with the increasing expectation of a US rate cut in September and the call for rectifying old - fashioned production capacity in the industry, the chemical sector is generally strong. The unexpected maintenance of Hengli Huizhou last Thursday drove up the PTA price, which in turn drove up the PX price. Observation or cautious short - term long - trading is recommended [13]. Rubber - The price of raw rubber latex in Thailand was 55 Thai baht/kg, and the cup - lump price was 49.5 Thai baht/kg. As of August 21, the capacity utilization rate of Chinese semi - steel tire sample enterprises was 71.87%, a 2.76 - percentage - point increase from last week and a 7.81 - percentage - point decrease year - on - year; the capacity utilization rate of Chinese full - steel tire sample enterprises was 64.97%, a 2.35 - percentage - point increase from last week and a 7.01 - percentage - point increase year - on - year [14]. - The rainy season in Southeast Asian and domestic rubber - producing areas is affecting rubber tapping, while rubber tapping in Cote d'Ivoire is expected to be normal as it enters the dry season. Global supply follows the seasonal pattern. On the demand side, the domestic tire industry's production activities have not improved significantly, with poor replacement tire demand and a decline in tire export growth. Rubber is in a situation of weak supply and demand. Observation or cautious short - term long - trading around the 15,500 area is recommended [14].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - There is no information provided regarding report industry investment ratings in the given content. Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The report provides short - term evaluations and trading suggestions for various commodities, including gold, crude oil, iron ore, etc. It analyzes the impact of different factors such as trade agreements, production plans, and policy regulations on commodity prices and market trends [1][3][4]. Group 3: Summaries by Commodity Gold - The US - EU trade agreement is favorable to the US and negative for the euro, causing the US dollar index to rise. Gold has a short - term rebound demand and may fluctuate upward, but the dollar - gold seesaw effect should be monitored. The Jackson Hole Annual Meeting on Friday may increase precious metal volatility [1]. Crude Oil - Iraq plans to increase daily oil production to nearly 6 million barrels by 2028, and India will continue to buy Russian oil. There is a situation of weak expectations against the reality of non - accumulated inventory. It is advisable to wait and see at the current position [1]. Iron Ore - In August, the iron ore fundamentals have few contradictions. High iron - water production provides strong demand support. The ore price is expected to fluctuate within a range, with a reference support level of 750 yuan/ton [3]. Coking Coal - The capacity utilization rate of coking coal mines has increased. The demand side has some support from high iron - water production, but attention should be paid to temporary production - restriction policies. The coking coal price is expected to fluctuate in the short term [3]. Rebar - The fundamentals of steel are weak, but due to environmental protection policies and policy expectations, the probability of a sharp decline in rebar prices is low. Short - term long positions can be considered in the 3000 - 3100 area, and caution is needed when pre - laying long positions in the far - month contracts [4]. Live Pigs - The national average pig - grain ratio has fallen below 6:1, triggering a third - level warning. The state will conduct central frozen pork reserve purchases, which can boost the pig price in the short term. Short - term long positions can be tried, and farmers can choose to sell for hedging according to the slaughter rhythm [5]. Palm Oil - Indonesia's palm oil inventory is at a low level, and the consumption peak season is approaching. The palm oil price is expected to fluctuate strongly at a high level in the short term [6]. Soybeans - The 2025/26 global soybean production forecast has been slightly increased. The domestic soybean market is in a situation of weak supply and demand, and the domestic soybean price is expected to remain weakly stable in the short term [8]. Silver - The US economic data shows resilience, and the US - EU agreement boosts risk appetite. The silver price is expected to fluctuate upward, and attention should be paid to the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting [8]. Medium - and Long - Term Treasury Bonds - The upcoming large - scale policy - based financial instruments may increase stock market investment and have a negative impact on the bond market. The bond market is expected to show more volatility, and short positions can be considered for long - term bonds at key resistance levels [9]. Rubber - The supply of rubber is sufficient as the Southeast Asian production season approaches, and the demand is weak. The rubber price is expected to fluctuate in the short term [10]. PTA - Jiangsu's policy draft signals a solution to over - capacity. For PTA, the proportion of 1 million - ton/year devices is low, and the price is expected to rise slightly in the short term, but caution is needed at high levels [11].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views - The prices of various commodities are expected to show different trends. Some are expected to be in short - term shock, some may rebound in the long - term, and some are expected to be weak in the short - term and improve later [1][3][4]. - The supply and demand relationship is the main factor affecting the price trends of commodities, including factors such as production, inventory, and market demand [1][4][6]. 3. Summary by Commodity Coal and Coke - **Coking Coal**: The demand for coking coal has support due to the profit repair of coking enterprises and high pig iron output. It is expected to fluctuate in the short - term [1]. - **Coking Coal Data**: 314 independent coal washing plants have a capacity utilization rate of 36.1% (down 0.46% month - on - month), a daily refined coal output of 25.7 tons (down 0.7 tons month - on - month), and a refined coal inventory of 294.8 tons (down 2.2 tons month - on - month) [1].
