Report Industry Investment Ratings - Not provided in the given content Core Views - The market is affected by various factors such as geopolitical issues, supply - demand imbalances, and policy uncertainties across different commodities. Each commodity has its own unique situation, with some showing short - term fluctuations and others having long - term supply - demand challenges. Overall, most commodities are expected to have a range - bound performance in the short term [1][2][4] Summary by Commodity Crude Oil - US commercial crude inventory decreased by 3.821 million barrels in the week ending September 19, 2025. Year - to - date, US crude inventory has increased by 1.5 million barrels. The stalemate in the agreement to resume oil exports from Iraqi Kurdistan and reports of Russia considering additional fuel export restrictions have boosted oil prices. However, there is still pressure from supply surplus. It is recommended to wait and see [1] Rubber - Thai raw material prices showed mixed trends. The 18th typhoon "Huksa" may land in the central and western coastal areas of Guangdong. The typhoon disrupts rubber tapping, and downstream pre - holiday restocking has ended with slow inventory reduction. China's natural rubber inventory is at a low level, and a larger and more sustained market requires demand - side support. Rubber is in a situation of low inventory and weak demand, and it should be treated with a range - bound view [2] Manganese Silicon - The开工率 of 187 independent silicon - manganese enterprises is 45.68%, a decrease of 1.70% from last week, and the daily output is 29,825 tons, a decrease of 765 tons. The overall production cost of manganese silicon has declined, and the industry profit has been slightly repaired. Steel mills' profits are okay, and the output of finished products in the peak season is expected to rise. However, the supply of manganese silicon is still high, and the difficulty of inventory reduction is increasing. The short - term peak - season expectation supports the price, but the price may decline after the peak season [4] Lithium Carbonate - The market has a mix of bullish and bearish factors. Macro - policies affect futures fluctuations. Some mines in Jiangxi have not given responses on the supply side, while the energy - storage demand is on an upward trend. High inventory suppresses the price. It is recommended to go long on LC2511 at low prices, with an expected operating range of 68,000 - 78,000 yuan/ton [5] Rebar - On September 23, domestic steel prices turned from rising to falling. To deal with the typhoon, "five - stop" measures were implemented in Guangdong, which hindered logistics and transportation. The supply - demand fundamentals of the steel market before the holiday improved little, with general and unstable trading and low market confidence. Steel prices have fallen from high levels [6] PTA - This week, domestic PTA production was 1.4309 million tons, with a capacity utilization rate of 77.29%. Supply is expected to increase. Polyester and terminal loads are slowly recovering, providing short - term support, but the expectation of new orders and load improvement is limited. PX supply is increasing, and PXN is under pressure. Crude oil is fluctuating. PTA should be regarded as range - bound and weak [6] Live Pigs - On September 23, the average price of pork in the wholesale market increased by 0.1%. The previous continuous decline in pig prices has led to increased market resistance, and local second - fattening inquiries have increased, slowing down the decline. However, the slaughter pressure on the breeding side remains, and the price has not stopped falling. After continuous price drops, the breeding side's willingness to support prices is rising. Short - term long positions can be tried, but the upside space is limited [7] Palm Oil - From September 1 - 20, 2025, Malaysia's palm oil production decreased by 7.89% compared to the same period last month, and exports decreased by 16.1%. The cancellation of Argentina's export tariff impacts international vegetable oil prices, while China and India's low - price replenishment boosts exports. It is recommended to go long at low prices and keep an eye on Argentina's soybean exports [8] Rapeseed Meal - Canadian rapeseed exports decreased to 45,500 tons from the previous week. The decline in US soybean futures prices has dragged down the cost of imported soybeans in China. After the market sentiment caused by Argentina's tariff cancellation fades, rapeseed meal prices will fluctuate in the short term. Key factors to watch include China - Canada trade policies, upstream production, and downstream procurement [9] Methanol - The domestic methanol operating rate has decreased from a high level, while downstream demand has increased. The expected import volume in September remains high, and port inventory continues to accumulate. The inland methanol market has declined, and port market trading is average. It is expected that the methanol 01 contract will be range - bound and weak in the short term, with resistance at 2,375 yuan/ton. It is recommended to wait and see [10] Short - term Treasury Bonds - Shibor short - term varieties mostly declined, indicating a looser money supply, which is beneficial to the bond market. In the third quarter, there are still disturbances from bond supply - demand and the stock market. A range - bound view should be taken for short - term Treasury bond futures [10] Silver - Powell's remarks about high US stock valuations led to a decline in US stocks overnight, which is negative for silver. Silver has a short - term callback demand but is still range - bound and bullish. The impact of gold on silver should be monitored [11] Soda Ash - The national mainstream price of heavy soda ash is relatively stable. Production has decreased by 2.02% week - on - week, and inventory has decreased by 2.33%. The float - glass operating rate is stable, and demand is weak. The domestic soda ash market is stable, with high supply and limited demand fluctuations. It is expected that the soda ash 01 contract will fluctuate in the short term, with support at 1,250 yuan/ton. It is recommended to wait and see or go long on pullbacks [12] Gold - There are significant differences within the Fed regarding future monetary policy. Geopolitical risks are increasing, and the safe - haven sentiment is driving up the price of gold. Gold is range - bound and bullish [13] Plastics - The price of LLDPE in North China has declined. Production has increased by 3.21% week - on - week, and enterprise inventory has decreased. Downstream operating rates are expected to rise, but pre - holiday restocking is not active. The cost side provides strong support. It is expected that the L2601 contract will fluctuate in the short term, with support at 7,090 yuan/ton. It is recommended to wait and see or go long on pullbacks [13]

Summary by Product Crude Oil - Kuwait's crude oil production will increase to 2559000 barrels per day from October, and OPEC+ will increase production by 137000 barrels per day in October. The global crude oil supply is abundant, and the price is under pressure. It is advisable to sell on rallies [1]. Rubber - Rubber is in a situation of low inventory and weak demand. Due to typhoon - affected tapping and insufficient cost support, and weak downstream demand after pre - holiday restocking, it should be treated with a neutral view [2]. Steel and Related Products - **Steel**: In the "Golden September", steel demand is slowly recovering. With appropriate production control by building material steel mills, the supply - demand relationship has slightly improved. Before the National Day, steel mills need to replenish stocks, and the cost supports steel prices. Short - term steel prices may fluctuate at a high level, but the upward space is limited [4]. - **Iron Ore**: The global iron ore shipping volume fluctuates at a high level, and the arrival volume increases. Iron water production may rise, and port inventory is expected to accumulate. Iron ore prices may fluctuate in a narrow range [4]. - **Coke**: After the second - round price cut, coking profits turn negative, and coke production slightly decreases. Iron water production increases, and the demand for coke is well - supported. The pre - holiday restocking of the middle and lower reaches provides demand support, and the spot price stabilizes. Attention should be paid to the iron water production in the peak season [5]. Livestock and Agricultural Products - **Pig**: The national pig price is weakly stable. The market's resistance to price drops increases, and the decline slows down. However, the pressure on farmers to sell remains, and the price has not stopped falling. After continuous price drops, farmers' willingness to hold prices increases. Short - term long positions can be tried, and attention should be paid to the slaughter rhythm of large farms and demand recovery [6]. - **Soybean**: With the increase in the supply of new soybeans, the supply pressure in the market will increase. The downstream demand has not improved significantly, and domestic soybean prices are expected to continue to be under pressure in the short term [7]. Fats and Oils - **Palm Oil**: In Malaysia, palm oil production and exports in September decreased. The international palm oil market has high inventories, and the demand in India and China is weak. The price is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term [8]. Chemical Products - **PX**: As PX maintenance devices restart and short - process efficiency is good, the supply increases. PTA maintenance devices resume work, and the terminal recovery is limited. PX supply and demand are expected to increase, and the overall supply is relatively loose. It should be treated with a weak - neutral view [9]. - **Methanol**: Domestic methanol production decreases from a high level, downstream demand recovers, and imports are expected to remain high in September. Port inventory continues to accumulate. The 01 contract is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term, and it is recommended to wait and see [10]. - **Soda Ash**: The price of soda ash is relatively stable. Production decreases slightly, and inventory decreases. The demand from the float glass industry is weak. The 01 contract is expected to fluctuate in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see or do short - term long positions on pullbacks [11]. - **Polypropylene**: Polypropylene production is relatively stable, new production capacity pressure is released, and the overall supply is abundant. Commercial inventory decreases, and demand is slowly improving. The 01 contract is expected to fluctuate in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see or do short - term long positions on pullbacks [13]. Financial Products - **Treasury Bonds**: China's monetary policy adheres to a domestic - centered approach. After the Fed's interest rate cut, the bond market may be slightly positive, but the upward space is limited. Treasury bonds are expected to fluctuate in the short term [13]. - **Precious Metals** - **Gold**: Geopolitical risks and the decline of the US dollar index are beneficial to gold. The independence of the Fed brings uncertainties. Gold is expected to fluctuate upwards [14]. - **Silver**: Multiple Fed officials' speeches on interest rate cuts affect the market. The market's expectation of interest rate cuts promotes the rise of precious metals. Silver is expected to fluctuate upwards, and attention should be paid to the impact of gold on silver [14].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The strategy suggestion is to be bullish with fluctuations [4] Core Viewpoints - After the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points, the dollar strengthened, and precious metals corrected to some extent. With the expectation of continuous Fed rate cuts, precious metals may experience a continuous rate - cut market, and the timing is crucial. The US economy shows some resilience but still has significant downward pressure. The RMB exchange rate has limited impact on precious metals [2][3][9] Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Market Review - After the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points, which was less than market expectations, the dollar index rose sharply, and precious metals corrected. The market expects the Fed to cut interest rates twice this year, another 50 basis points. Gold and silver may rise synchronously under the expectation of continuous Fed rate cuts, and the short - term fluctuations of gold also affect the rise of silver [9] Chapter 2: Overview of Important News - The US Senate Democrats blocked the Republican's temporary appropriation bill, increasing the risk of a government shutdown. The Trump administration is considering a $550 billion investment fund for infrastructure. The US government requested the Supreme Court to allow Trump to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook. The US initial jobless claims dropped, and the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points. The US 8 - month PPI inflation unexpectedly declined [12][15][16] Chapter 3: Analysis of Important Influencing Factors 3.1 US Economy and Policy - The US September Michigan consumer confidence index hit a new low since May, and the 5 - year inflation expectation rose. The August ISM manufacturing index was below expectations, and the output index entered the contraction range. The second - quarter GDP and core PCE inflation data were released. The initial jobless claims decreased, indicating increased downward pressure on the US economy [17] 3.2 International Economy and Geopolitics - Chinese Vice - Premier He Lifeng will hold talks with the US in Spain to discuss trade issues. Trump said he was ready to impose second - stage sanctions on Russia and would impose tariffs on semiconductor companies that do not move production to the US. Geopolitical tensions have increased [20] 3.3 Other Financial Markets - The US August non - farm payrolls increased less than expected, the unemployment rate rose, and the ISM manufacturing index was below expectations. The July service PMI hit a new high since December 2024. Crude oil is affected by production cuts, and the copper prices at home and abroad diverge. With the increasing expectation of a September rate cut, US stocks, copper, and crude oil may strengthen, but the upward momentum of crude oil is limited [21] 3.4 RMB Exchange Rate - The RMB exchange rate tracks the US dollar index.

The impact of the RMB exchange rate on gold is limited [25] Chapter 4: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - Most Fed officials believe that a 75 - basis - point rate cut this year is appropriate, and precious metals may experience a continuous rate - cut market. The Fed defines this rate cut as a defensive one [28]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, the prices of coking coal and coke in the domestic market fluctuated. After two rounds of price cuts, the profits of coke enterprises have shrunk, and some have started to lose money. The downstream replenishment demand is obvious, and the price of coking coal has risen [2][5]. - The supply of coal mines has increased slightly this week, but the market is worried about coal mine production cuts due to over - production inspections in Inner Mongolia. The resumption of production in coal mines is slow in the short term. The rigid demand for coking coal is stable, and the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream has increased significantly [2]. - Before the festival, inventory preparation has started, and the futures and spot markets have rebounded in resonance. Due to the impact of over - production inspections, the subsequent increase in coal mine production is limited. It is expected that coal prices will fluctuate strongly [30]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 This Week's Market Review - The prices of coking coal and coke in the domestic market fluctuated. On Monday, mainstream steel mills in Hebei, Shandong and other places lowered the tender price of coke. The wet - quenched coke was lowered by 50 yuan/ton, and the dry - quenched coke was lowered by 55 yuan/ton, which was the second round of price cuts. On Thursday, an individual coke enterprise in Inner Mongolia sent a letter to increase the price by 50/55 yuan/ton, but mainstream steel mills have not responded [2][5]. - After two rounds of price cuts, the profits of coke enterprises have shrunk, and some have started to lose money. The coking plants maintain the previous production rhythm, and the downstream replenishment demand is obvious. The price of coking coal has risen, with more price increases and fewer price decreases in auctions [2][5]. 3.2 Macroeconomic and Industrial News - China and the United States have reached a basic framework consensus on properly resolving the TikTok issue, reducing investment barriers, and promoting relevant economic and trade cooperation [7]. - From January to August, national fixed - asset investment (excluding rural households) was 3.26111 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 0.5%. Infrastructure investment increased by 2.0% year - on - year, with a growth rate decline of 1.2 percentage points; manufacturing investment increased by 5.1%, with a growth rate decline of 1.1 percentage points; real estate development investment decreased by 12.9% year - on - year, with the decline rate expanding by 0.9 percentage points [7]. - In August, the total retail sales of consumer goods were 387.26 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 2.1%. From January to August, the total retail sales of consumer goods were 3.12452 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 3.4% [7]. - The Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate target range to 4.00% - 4.25% by 25 basis points, and it is expected to cut interest rates twice more this year [7]. - In August, China's automobile production was 2.752 million vehicles, a year - on - year increase of 10.5%; from January to August, automobile production was 20.829 million vehicles, a year - on - year increase of 10.5% [8]. - In August, China's air - conditioner production was 16.819 million units, a year - on - year increase of 12.3%; refrigerator production was 9.453 million units, a year - on - year increase of 2.5%; washing - machine production was 10.132 million units, a year - on - year decrease of 1.6%; color - TV production was 18.016 million units, a year - on - year decrease of 3.2% [8]. - This week, the approved production capacity utilization rate of 523 coking coal mine samples was 84.7%, a month - on - month increase of 1.9%. The daily average output of raw coal was 1.9 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 44,000 tons; the raw coal inventory was 4.7 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 32,000 tons; the daily average output of clean coal was 761,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 33,000 tons; the clean coal inventory was 2.328 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 217,000 tons [8]. 3.3 Fundamental Analysis - Supply: This week, the coal mine production increased slightly, but the over - production inspection document in Inner Mongolia has once again triggered market concerns about coal mine production cuts, and the resumption of production in coal mines is slow in the short term [2]. - Demand: On the 15th, the second round of coke price cuts was fully implemented, but the rapid rise in coal prices drove an individual coke enterprise in the Ordos market to increase the price of tamping dry - quenched coke by 55 yuan/ton on the 18th. Currently, mainstream coke enterprises have not raised prices, and steel mills have not responded. This week, the steel mill's hot - metal output continued to rise slightly, and the coke enterprises maintained high - level production. The rigid demand for coking coal is stable, and the downstream purchasing enthusiasm has increased significantly [2]. 3.4 Market Outlook and Investment Strategies - Supply side: Some coal mines in Shanxi and Shandong that previously stopped or reduced production have resumed normal production, but some fat - coal mines in Inner Mongolia have stopped production due to over - production. The total output has increased slightly. Overall, the pre - festival inventory preparation has started, and the futures and spot markets have rebounded in resonance. Due to the impact of over - production inspections, the subsequent increase in coal mine production is limited, and it is expected that coal prices will fluctuate strongly [30]. - Investment strategies: For single - side trading, focus on range operations; for inter - period arbitrage, mainly wait and see; for coking profits, mainly wait and see [2][30].
