Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Apple futures prices plummeted due to increased supply and production expectations, and the market outlook has weakened [1][2] - Egg futures prices rose strongly due to pre - Mid - Autumn Festival demand, but high egg - laying hen inventory may limit subsequent increases [1][3] - Cotton futures prices declined due to early new cotton listing and high - yield expectations, entering a downward trend [1][13] Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Agricultural Products Sector Overview - Apple prices tumbled as early - maturing apples increased in volume and there were expectations of a new - season apple production increase, with short - sellers significantly increasing their positions [1] - Egg prices rose sharply, driven by pre - Mid - Autumn Festival demand and short - sellers closing a large number of positions. However, high egg - laying hen inventory may restrict future gains [1] - Cotton prices broke through support and declined due to early new cotton listing and high - yield expectations, entering a downward trend [1] II. Variety Strategy Tracking (1) Apple: Plummeted - The main 2601 contract of apple futures dropped sharply due to short - sellers significantly increasing their positions. Early Fuji apple trading volume increased, supply rose, and the overall commodity rate was high, disappointing previous expectations of a shortage of high - quality apples. New - season apple production is expected to be stable with a slight increase, increasing the pressure of industrial hedging [2] - The main 2601 contract of apple futures fell below the 20 - day moving average, with a MACD death cross, showing weak technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a small short position, with support at 7973 and resistance at 8100 [2] (2) Egg: Rose Strongly - The main 2510 contract of egg futures rose strongly, driven by pre - festival demand and short - sellers closing a large number of positions. Near the Mid - Autumn Festival, food companies' stocking demand supported the market, and the inventory days of both the production and circulation links decreased. The number of old hens sold increased, potentially reducing inventory pressure [3] - The main 2510 contract of egg futures broke through the 20 - day moving average, with a MACD golden cross below the zero axis and an expanding red column, showing strong technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a small long position, with support at 2978 and resistance at 3080 [3] (3) Palm Oil: Oscillated Upward - The main 2601 contract of palm oil futures oscillated upward with a narrow range. The market is waiting for the MPOB monthly palm oil supply - demand report. Malaysian palm oil production increased slightly in August, while exports improved significantly, and it is expected that the inventory increase at the end of August will be limited. In China, the inventory of the three major oils increased slightly last week, and the inventory of palm oil increased by 11.31% year - on - year. Demand from school openings in autumn and Mid - Autumn Festival stocking supported the oil market [5] - The main 2601 contract of palm oil futures oscillated above the moving - average system, with a shrinking MACD green column, showing strong technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a small long position, with support at 9426 and resistance at 9550 [5] (4) Red Date: Oscillated Downward - The main 2601 contract of red date futures oscillated downward, with weak performance. Double - festival stocking did not show explosive growth, terminal demand was flat, downstream procurement was on - demand, the de - stocking speed of sample points decreased month - on - month, and inventory was still much higher than the same period last year. Traders generally adopted an on - demand procurement strategy, and the market trading atmosphere was cold [7] - The main 2601 contract of red date futures fell below the 40 - day moving average, with an expanding MACD green column, showing weak technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a short position, with support at 10890 and resistance at 11185 [7] (5) Sugar: Continued to Fall - The main 2601 contract of Zhengzhou sugar futures fell again, pressured by increased domestic sugar imports. The sugarcane crop prospects in India and Thailand are good, Brazilian sugar mills have increased the sugar - making ratio, and global white sugar supply is becoming more abundant, with the outer - market raw sugar fluctuating at a low level. In the domestic market, the sales - to - production ratio in August was average, and there are still expectations of increased sugar imports. Customs data shows that China's sugar imports in July were the highest in the same period in the past 10 years, and expectations of increased imports and new - season production increases have weakened the futures price [9] - The main 2601 contract of sugar futures oscillated downward, with the price falling further below the moving - average system and a continuing MACD green column, showing weak technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a small short position, with support at 5500 and resistance at 5532 [9] (6) Corn: Pulled Back and Adjusted - The main 2511 contract of corn futures pulled back and adjusted after reaching a phased high, as long - sellers took profits. Currently, it is the transition period between old and new crops, and the market focus is on the opening prices of new - season corn in various production areas. Before the large - scale listing of new corn, there is a pattern of tight supply and increasing demand, with low inventory at all levels. After the listing of new - season corn, market purchasing enthusiasm is expected to be high, which will support the corn price. The technical adjustment space of the corn futures price may be limited [11] - The main 2511 contract of Dalian corn futures adjusted at a high level, with long - sellers closing their positions and a continuing MACD red column, showing a technical adjustment. The recommended strategy is to close long positions and conduct short - term trading, with support at 2200 and resistance at 2234 [11] (7) Cotton: Continued to Fall - The main 2601 contract of cotton futures continued to expand its downward space, pressured by the listing of new cotton. Although the supply of old - crop cotton in China is tightening, the expectation of new - crop cotton production increase is strong, and the overall picking time is earlier than last year. The early listing and high - yield expectation of new cotton have suppressed the cotton futures price. During the "Golden September" peak season, the production and sales of textile enterprises have improved, and the pressure on finished - product inventory has eased. However, new orders have not improved significantly, and some enterprises still have inventory backlogs. Enterprises mainly purchase cotton as needed, failing to form a concentrated purchasing wave, and consumption recovery is still slow [13] - The main 2601 contract of cotton futures fell below the 40 - day moving average, with a MACD death cross and an expanding green column, showing weak technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a small short position, with support at 13800 and resistance at 14000 [13] (8) Live Pig: Continued to Fall - The main 2511 contract of live pig futures continued to fall, pressured by increased supply from slaughter. The live pig production capacity is in the concentrated realization stage in September, and the inventory of market - suitable standard pigs and medium - large pigs may further increase, with great pressure from oversupply. The stock of breeding sows still exceeds the normal level. Data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the inventory of breeding sows at the end of July 2025 was 40.42 million, reaching 103.6% of the normal level. The planned slaughter volume of large - scale pig enterprises in September increased month - on - month, the supply of market - suitable pigs is sufficient, the risk of pig diseases in some areas has increased, and there is a phenomenon of early slaughter. The prices of medium - large pigs are weak, and the sentiment of weight - reducing slaughter in the social and group pig enterprises has strengthened. High temperatures continue in southern sales areas, the sales of白条 are not smooth, and the improvement of consumption demand is weak, pressuring the pig price [15] - The main 2511 contract of live pig futures fell again and closed with a negative candle, with the price falling further below the moving - average system and an expanding MACD green column, showing weak technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a small short position, with support at 13145 and resistance at 13300 [15] (9) Soybean Meal: Narrowly Oscillated - The main 2601 contract of soybean meal futures narrowly oscillated and closed with a small negative candle. The market is waiting for the USDA monthly soybean supply - demand report. Currently, the crushing volume of domestic oil mills remains at a high level of tens of millions of tons, and the inventory pressure of soybean meal is significant. Under high inventory, oil mills have increased the pressure to urge提货. Data from China Grain and Oil Business Network shows that as of the end of the 36th week, the domestic soybean meal inventory was 1.16 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 9.09%. High inventory has restricted the increase of soybean meal futures prices, and the market has pulled back [17] - The main 2601 contract of soybean meal futures oscillated and closed with a negative candle, with a narrow range. The recommended strategy is short - term trading, with support at 3058 and resistance at 3080 [17] (10) Soybean Oil: Slightly Closed with a Negative Candle - The main 2601 contract of soybean oil futures slightly fell and oscillated and adjusted. The crushing volume of domestic oil mills remains at a level of tens of millions of tons, the supply of soybean oil has increased, and the inventory remains high. As of September 5, the soybean oil inventory was 1.2388 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 14.66%. However, with the approaching of the Mid - Autumn Festival and National Day, the stocking demand for soybean oil has increased, supporting the soybean oil price [19] - The main 2601 contract of soybean oil futures slightly adjusted, with the price fluctuating near the short - term moving average and a shrinking MACD green column, showing slightly strong technical indicators. The recommended strategy is to hold a small long position, with support at 8382 and resistance at 8460 [19]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report - Under the expectation of interest rate cuts, precious metals can still remain strong. Influenced by US President Trump's claim to remove Fed Governor Cook and the increasing expectation of interest rate cuts, precious metals rose last Monday, with gold hitting a new all-time high and then fluctuating at a high level. In September, the market focused on the US non-farm payroll data and the interest rate decision. The significant decline in non-farm payroll data and weak employment increased the expectation of interest rate cuts, which was negative for the US dollar and supported gold to reach new highs. Additionally, regional conflicts are important risks, and the safe-haven property of precious metals is strengthened. A long position approach is recommended [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Analysis Domestic Aspect - In August, China's gold reserves increased by 1.7 tons to 2098.43 tons, an increase of 34.586 tons compared to the same period last year. From January to August 2025, the cumulative increase was 20.695 tons. Foreign exchange reserves were $33221.54 billion, a month-on-month increase of $299.19 billion and a year-on-year increase of $339.39 billion [4]. - China's PMI manufacturing index in August was 49.4%, a month-on-month increase of 0.1%. The PMI of large enterprises was 50.8%, a month-on-month increase of 0.5%, remaining above the critical point for four consecutive months with an accelerating expansion pace. The PMI data has been below the boom-bust line (50%) for 5 consecutive months, indicating insufficient market confidence and increasing safe-haven demand. The increase in foreign exchange reserves also poses challenges to foreign exchange management, and precious metal investment is a good option. Since November last year, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange has increased gold reserves for 10 consecutive months, an increase of 35.08 tons compared to October 2024, supporting the strong pattern of precious metals [10]. Foreign Macro Aspect - From a macro perspective, the US ISM manufacturing PMI in August was 48.7%, with an expected value of 49% and a previous value of 48%, better than the previous value but lower than the expectation. The number of non-farm payrolls in the US increased by 22,000 in August. Revised data showed that the number of non-farm payrolls in June was revised down from 14,000 to -13,000, the first decline in non-farm payrolls since 2020. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.3%, the highest level since 2021. The expectation of an interest rate cut in the US in September's interest rate decision increased significantly. According to CME's "FedWatch", the probability of the Fed keeping the interest rate unchanged in September was 0, the probability of a 25-basis-point interest rate cut was 88.3%, and the probability of a 50-basis-point interest rate cut was 11.7% (the probability was 0 before the data was released). The increasing expectation of an interest rate cut and the weak US dollar provided some support for precious metals [11]. Other Aspects - Currently, there is no hope of a ceasefire in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is intensifying, and NATO may intervene in the Russia-Ukraine war. In addition, there is a risk of out-of-control conflict in Venezuela. Safe-haven sentiment remains an important factor that investors cannot ignore [12]. Technical Analysis Gold 2510 Contract - The outer-market London gold reached a new all-time high, reaching a maximum of $3600 per ounce, with a weekly increase of 4%. The weekly closing price of the Shanghai Shanghai Gold 2510 contract broke through the all-time high. The closing price at 15:00 on Friday was 817.52 yuan per gram, breaking through the range of 813 - 815, showing a breakthrough pattern. The night session continued to rise and broke through the recent high, maintaining a strong rhythm. Before the Fed announces the interest rate decision on September 18, the expectation of an interest rate cut still dominates the market trend, and a long position approach should be adopted [13][14]. Silver 2510 Contract - The closing price last week increased by 4.5%, reaching a maximum close to 10,000 yuan per kilogram. The night session on Friday opened high and closed low, forming a high-level oscillation pattern. Affected by the non-farm payroll data being far lower than the expected value, the US stock market declined, and commodities such as copper and oil also fell. The industrial property of silver was magnified, and its upward momentum was weak. Currently, the gold-silver ratio in the outer market is around 87.6, the lowest level since mid-July, with the possibility of a rebound and oscillation. It may be difficult for silver to show a good upward trend. In addition, before the Fed announces the interest rate decision on September 18, the probability of a sideways and slightly upward trend is relatively high, and a long position approach can be maintained in the short term [15]. Strategy - For the Gold 2510 contract, it is recommended to go long on dips. The recommended position-building range is 818 - 820, the stop-loss range is 807 - 808, the first target range is 835 - 838, and the second target range is 845 - 850 [2]. - For the Silver 2510 contract, there are two strategies: - Aggressive low-long strategy: The recommended position-building range is 9690 - 9700, the stop-loss range is 9630 - 9640. Aggressive operations should be carried out with a light position and strict stop-loss and take-profit settings [3]. - Conservative low-long strategy: The recommended position-building range is 9550 - 9580, the stop-loss range is 9450 - 9460, the first target range is 9800 - 9820, and the second target range is 9950 - 10000 [3][6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The soybean meal market is in a state of "strong expectation, weak reality", with prices showing a range - bound oscillation. The uncertainty in Sino - US economic and trade relations and the expected tight supply of imported soybeans in the long - term support the price, while the current high - volume arrivals of imported soybeans, high crushing volume of oil mills, and increasing inventory limit the upward space [1][2][6]. - The palm oil market is expected to have a relatively strong oscillation. The slowdown in the increase of Malaysian palm oil production and strong exports support the price, but the sharp decline in crude oil prices drags down the oil market, and the market is waiting for the MPOB monthly supply - demand report [1][9][11]. - The egg market rebounds weakly and then weakens again. The approaching Mid - Autumn Festival and National Day boost the demand and egg prices, but the high inventory of laying hens, increased egg - laying rate due to temperature drop, and the release of cold - stored eggs suppress the price [1][19][24]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Soybean Meal - **Market Situation**: In the first week of September, soybean meal futures prices oscillated and rose, showing a range - bound characteristic. The market is in a state of "strong expectation, weak reality", with the main 2601 contract oscillating between 3030 - 3080 [2][6]. - **Influencing Factors**: - The excellent rate of US soybeans has declined, but a high yield is still expected. The export demand is a concern, with the total sales of new US soybeans down about 29% year - on - year [3]. - The cost of imported soybeans is high. China has not purchased next - year's US soybeans but has increased imports from Brazil. The export premium of Brazilian soybeans is at a high level, supporting the price of soybean meal from the cost side [4][5]. - Oil mills maintain a high crushing volume, and the inventory of soybean meal is rising. In September, the arrival of imported soybeans is still expected to be high, and the inventory accumulation trend will continue [6]. - Technically, the main 2601 contract of soybean meal is in a range - bound state on the daily - line level, with resistance at the upper edge of the range [7]. - **Operation Strategy**: For the 2601 contract of soybean meal, pay attention to short - selling operations at the upper edge of the range, with the target range of 3075 - 3085, the defense reference range of 3100 - 3120, the first target of 3050 - 3060, and the second target of 3030 - 3040 [8]. 3.2 Palm Oil - **Market Situation**: In the first week of September, palm oil futures prices oscillated and rose. The price was boosted by strong export demand for Malaysian palm oil and a slowdown in production growth, but the sharp decline in crude oil prices limited the increase. The market is waiting for the MPOB supply - demand report [9][11]. - **Influencing Factors**: - In August, the production data of Malaysian palm oil was inconsistent, but the export was strong, which may limit the increase in inventory at the end of August [12]. - India's palm oil imports in August increased sharply to 99.3 tons, a 16% month - on - month increase, supporting the Malaysian palm oil futures price [13]. - The palm oil producing areas in Malaysia are affected by diseases, and Indonesia has taken measures against illegal palm plantations, which support the palm oil market [14][15]. - The domestic palm oil inventory has increased, and the demand is mainly for essential needs. Although the consumption has increased due to the approaching school opening and festivals, the demand is still limited by the inverted price difference between soybean oil and palm oil [16]. - Technically, the main 2601 contract of palm oil oscillates around the short - term moving average, runs far above the medium - term moving average, and the MACD is above the zero - axis, with the green column continuing [17]. - **Operation Strategy**: For the 2601 contract of palm oil, pay attention to long - buying operations at low prices, with the target range of 9380 - 9400, the defense reference range of 9330 - 9350, the first target of 9450 - 9480, and the second target of 9500 - 9520 [18]. 3.3 Eggs - **Market Situation**: In the first week of September, egg futures prices oscillated and rebounded, but the rebound space was limited, and the prices then fell back. The market is expected to continue to be weak and may test the previous low again [19][24]. - **Influencing Factors**: - The inventory of laying hens is at a high level, with 13.64 billion laying hens in August, and the new - laying pressure is large. The egg - laying rate has increased with the temperature drop, increasing the supply [19][21]. - The enthusiasm for culling old hens remains high, and the number of old hens sold has reached a two - and - a - half - month high, but the overall industry capacity reduction is not obvious [20][21]. - The seasonal demand has boosted the egg price, and the inventory in the production and circulation links has decreased [21]. - The continuous release of cold - stored eggs increases the supply pressure, suppressing the rebound space of egg prices [22]. - The demand in the peak season has improved, but the sustainability is insufficient due to the high supply pressure [23][24]. - Technically, the main 2511 contract of eggs has broken through the moving - average system, the rebound is blocked, and the MACD runs far below the zero - axis, showing a weak technical pattern [25]. - **Operation Strategy**: For the 2511 contract of eggs, pay attention to short - selling operations, with the target range of 3020 - 3036, the defense reference range of 3076 - 3100, the first target of 2980 - 2990, and the second target of 2950 - 2960 [26].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report [1] Core Viewpoints - In September, the US non - farm payroll data was far lower than market expectations, leading to a weaker US dollar, a decline in US stocks, an increase in economic recession expectations, and pressure on industrial product prices. The Shanghai Futures Exchange tin inventory has slightly increased since early August and remains at a relatively high level in the long - term. Affected by supply - side news in recent years, the price has remained high. With no obvious supply - side news recently, there is an expectation of short - term volatile decline. The strategy is to focus on high - level volatile short - selling operations for the Shanghai tin 2510 contract [1] Summary by Directory Fundamental Analysis - **Inventory**: The LME tin inventory rose from a low of 1630 tons on August 18 to 2225 tons on September 3, still at a relatively low level. The Shanghai Futures Exchange inventory increased slightly from 7215 tons on September 1 to 7397 tons on September 5 and remains at a medium - high level in the long - term [1][2] - **Demand**: From February to July 2025, the apparent demand was at a relatively high level compared to the same period, especially in July when the data was higher than historical levels, showing an off - season non - off - season state. However, the spot - end price was not particularly strong, maintaining a high - level volatile rhythm [4] - **Other Factors**: A demonstration took place in Indonesia at the end of August, but the official statement said it did not affect the mining area's production and operation. The price soared on August 29 but quickly fell back on September 1, returning to a volatile pattern. The impact of the unrest in Indonesia on the price has subsided [6] Technical Analysis - The Shanghai tin 2510 contract price oscillated in the range of 271500 - 274500 for many days and then broke below this range on Friday night, with a weakening expectation. With no obvious positive fundamental support, the probability of further price decline increases, and attention should be paid to the volatile downward trend [7]

Carbonate Lithium Core Viewpoints - This week, the price of carbonate lithium continued to decline, with the main contract dropping 4.40% from last Friday's closing price to 7,426 yuan/ton. The market was bearish at the beginning of the week but rebounded later. Without new drivers, it's expected to remain weak and volatile. Attention should be paid to whether the remaining 7 lithium mines in Yichun with unexpired mining licenses will stop production after September 30 [2]. Strategy Recommendations - The 2511 contract of carbonate lithium is expected to remain weak and volatile. It is recommended to participate with a light position and manage risks [3]. Fundamental Analysis Supply - The weekly production of carbonate lithium increased by 389 tons to 19,419 tons, a 2% week-on-week increase. After some domestic lithium mines and salt lakes stopped production, the overall supply did not decrease due to increased imports and processing of spodumene and new domestic projects. The key is the production status of the 7 mines in Yichun after September 30 [4]. Demand - In the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season, downstream enterprises' production plans are expected to increase. From August 1 - 31, the retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles reached 1.079 million, a 5% year-on-year and 9% month-on-month increase. The demand for energy storage batteries is also rising [5][6]. Inventory - Carbonate lithium continued to reduce inventory in August. The inventory of domestic lithium salt factories was about 30,280 tons, a 12.81% month-on-month and 14.94% year-on-year decrease [7]. Technical Analysis - The Band Winner indicator shows a weak trend. With no significant changes in fundamentals and a balanced supply - demand increase and inventory reduction, it's expected to remain weak and volatile [8]. Polysilicon Core Viewpoints - The polysilicon futures rose sharply on Friday, hitting a 9% daily limit and reaching a new high of 56,735 yuan/ton, a 15.06% weekly increase. With new policies promoting the photovoltaic industry, the polysilicon market is likely to be strong and volatile [12]. Strategy Recommendations - The 2511 contract of polysilicon is expected to remain strong. It is recommended to participate with a light position and manage risks [13]. Fundamental Analysis Supply - The weekly production of polysilicon is increasing. The output in August exceeded 130,000 tons. There are expectations of production and sales restrictions in September, but the implementation is uncertain, and future growth is expected to be limited [14]. Demand - In September, the production plan of domestic silicon wafers was raised for the first time. After the price increase, most silicon wafer enterprises increased their operating rates. The output of battery cells and photovoltaic modules in August also increased, and the September production plans are expected to continue rising [15][16][17]. Technical Analysis - The Band Winner indicator shows a strong trend. Although the polysilicon market has fundamental pressure, with policy support, the market is likely to be strong and volatile due to significant news - related fluctuations [18].

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the content about the report industry investment rating. Core View of the Report The report analyzes the market conditions of various energy and chemical products, including crude oil, styrene, rubber, etc. It provides logical analysis and technical tracking for each product, and gives corresponding trading strategies based on the fundamentals and technical analysis. Overall, most products show a bearish or weak fundamental situation, with some products having short - term fluctuations and trading opportunities [1][2][5]. Summary by Related Catalogs (1) Crude Oil - **Logic**: Short - term long and short are deadlocked, with contradictions brewing. After the peak season, demand decline and OPEC+ production increase bring supply pressure. The domestic seasonal demand slowdown makes SC crude oil weaker than the external market. The medium - term fundamental driver is bearish [1][2]. - **Technical Tracking**: The daily - level is in a medium - term downward structure, the hourly - level is in a short - term oscillating structure. After today's rebound, the hourly - level structure is unclear, and the 15 - minute small - cycle turns long. Support at 488 on the 15 - minute level [2]. - **Strategy**: Take profit at the 15 - minute level and look for opportunities to re - enter after the price turns down again [2]. (2) Styrene (EB) - **Logic**: The expectation of long - side anti - involution disappears, high - level inventory accumulates rapidly, and the pattern of high production under high profit is hard to change. There is new device commissioning pressure in September - October. The medium - term fundamental is bearish [5]. - **Technical Tracking**: The hourly - level is in a short - term downward structure. Today, it increased positions and hit a new low with a long negative line, increasing positions by nearly 5%. The short - term pressure on the hourly cycle is at 7025 [5]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the hourly cycle [5]. (3) Rubber - **Logic**: There is no sign of supply increase, import is lower year - on - year, and the short - side lacks logical support in the short term. The long - side also has no upward drive due to high inventory and concerns about tire inventory [8]. - **Technical Tracking**: The daily - level is in a medium - term downward structure, the hourly - level is in a short - term oscillating structure. The 15 - minute pressure is at 16000 [8]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the 15 - minute cycle, with a stop - loss reference of 16000 [8]. (4) Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Logic**: The fundamental of synthetic rubber is neutral, with no obvious short - term contradiction. In the medium term, pay attention to the suppression of tire enterprise inventory on production and the supply pressure of butadiene [12]. - **Technical Tracking**: The daily - level is in a medium - term oscillating/downward structure, the hourly - level is in a short - term oscillating structure. After a 50% increase in positions last week, it has not reduced positions or formed a short - term structure. The 15 - minute is in a short - term downward structure [13][15]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the 15 - minute cycle, with a stop - loss reference of 11920 [15]. (5) PX - **Logic**: Since last week, PX supply has increased, downstream PTA start - up has declined, and inventory reduction has slowed down. The short - term fundamental has weakened, and more attention should be paid to the cost - side influence of crude oil [18]. - **Technical Tracking**: The hourly - level is in a short - term downward structure. Today, the intraday oscillation center dropped, and the decline has not accelerated. The short - term pressure is at 6900 [18]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the hourly cycle, with a stop - loss reference of 6900 [18]. (6) PTA - **Logic**: Due to some device overhauls, short - term supply has declined, downstream demand has not recovered, and it lacks self - driving force. More attention should be paid to the cost - side influence of crude oil [23]. - **Technical Tracking**: The hourly - level is in a short - term downward structure. Today, the intraday oscillation center dropped. The short - term pressure is at 4800, and there is a short - selling opportunity if there is a reverse - wrapping signal on Friday night or today's morning session [23]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the hourly cycle, with a stop - loss reference of 4800 [23]. (7) PP - **Logic**: The restart of previously overhauled devices and new capacity commissioning increase supply pressure, while demand improvement is limited. The fundamental is weak [25]. - **Technical Tracking**: The hourly - level is in a short - term downward structure. Today, the intraday oscillation center moved down, hitting a new low since July. The short - term decline may accelerate. The hourly - level short - term pressure is at 7090, and the 15 - minute short - cycle pressure is at 6990 [25]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the hourly cycle [25]. (8) Methanol - **Logic**: Domestic methanol production has decreased slightly month - on - month but remains at a historical high year - on - year. Overseas methanol also maintains high start - up. The port inventory has been accumulating significantly and reached a 5 - year high. The short - term driver is bearish [28]. - **Technical Tracking**: The daily - level is in a medium - term downward/oscillating structure, and the short - term is in a downward structure. Today, it oscillated and failed to break through the short - term pressure at 2400 [28]. - **Strategy**: Hold the remaining short positions in the hourly cycle [28]. (9) PVC - **Logic**: Supply remains high, real - estate demand is weak, and inventory continues to accumulate. Both the current situation and the expectation of the fundamental are bearish [31]. - **Technical Tracking**: The daily - level is in a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly - level is in a short - term downward structure. Today, the decline continued, and the short - term pressure is at 4965 [31]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the hourly cycle [31]. (10) Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Logic**: The port inventory has decreased month - on - month, making its fundamental stronger than other energy and chemical products. But with the increase in domestic start - up, it is expected to enter an inventory - accumulation cycle. The short - term reality is strong, and the medium - term expectation is bearish [35]. - **Technical Tracking**: The daily - level is in a medium - term oscillating/downward structure, and the hourly - level is in a downward structure. Today, it increased positions and volume with a long negative line, and the decline may accelerate. The 15 - minute pressure is at 4375 [35]. - **Strategy**: Wait for the end signal of the rebound to try short - selling [35]. (11) Plastic - **Logic**: The improvement of PE demand in the peak season is slow, and the fundamental driving force is general [37]. - **Technical Tracking**: The daily - level is in a medium - term oscillating/downward structure, and the hourly - level is in a downward structure. Today, it oscillated. The short - term pressure is at 7365, and the 15 - minute small - cycle pressure is at 7305. There was a standard short - selling signal last night on the 15 - minute cycle [37]. - **Strategy**: There is no entry signal in the hourly cycle, and there is a short - selling opportunity on the 15 - minute cycle [37]. (12) Soda Ash - **Logic**: The disappearance of the anti - involution expectation and the approaching of the 09 delivery make soda ash return to the downward drive brought by high production, high supply, and high inventory. The real - estate downturn affects glass demand, and the supply pressure increases after the price is driven up by speculation. The fundamental is bearish [40]. - **Technical Tracking**: The hourly - level is in a downward structure. Today, it oscillated, and the downward structure remained unchanged. The short - term pressure is at 1320 [40]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions in the hourly cycle [40]. (13) Caustic Soda - **Logic**: The increase in chlor - alkali enterprise overhauls has led to a decline in start - up month - on - month, but it is still at a high level year - on - year. The speculation on transportation restrictions during the September 3 parade is coming to an end. The short - term downward drive is weakening, but the medium - term still faces high - supply pressure [43]. - **Technical Tracking**: The hourly - level is regarded as oscillating. Today, it had a long negative line with decreasing positions and volume, and the long - side main force left the market. The 15 - minute cycle turned down, and there is a short - selling opportunity at the end of the session [43]. - **Strategy**: Wait and see in the hourly cycle, and there is a short - selling signal at the end of the 15 - minute cycle with a stop - loss reference of 2690 [43].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The lithium carbonate main contract has experienced significant fluctuations due to frequent disturbances on the supply side and needs time for digestion and consolidation in the short term. If the supply - side disturbance expectations remain unchanged, the supply - demand gap is expected to widen in September, and prices may rise irrationally. Attention should be paid to whether the other 7 mining enterprises in Yichun with unexpired mining licenses will stop production after September 30 [4]. - In the short term, lithium carbonate may weaken next week, and investors should wait for opportunities to go long at low prices [4]. Summary by Directory 1. August Market Review - In August, the lithium carbonate main contract first rose and then fell, with the futures price breaking through 90,000 yuan/ton at its highest. Supply - side news had many disturbances, but the actual impact on the fundamentals was small, and price fluctuations were mainly due to futures market capital games [5]. 2. Fundamental Analysis Supply - In August, despite supply - side disturbances, the monthly output of lithium carbonate reached a new high due to the increase in capacity utilization and hedging by external - purchasing enterprises. As of August 29, the weekly output decreased to 19,000 tons, with different trends in production from different sources. The import volume has declined for three consecutive months but is expected to increase in the second half of the year. Attention should be paid to the potential production halt of 7 mining enterprises in Yichun after September 30 [6][7]. Demand - In August, the production of lithium iron phosphate is expected to be 311,400 tons, a 7% month - on - month increase, and the production of ternary cathode materials is expected to increase by about 3% to 70,800 tons. In the power market in July, new energy vehicle production and sales showed seasonal slowdown, and the power battery loading volume decreased. In the energy storage market, demand orders are good, with saturated production schedules in September and October, and high - price transactions for forward orders. The industry's anti - low - price initiative is expected to improve profitability [8][9]. Inventory - As of the week of August 29, domestic inventory decreased slightly, with social inventory still exceeding 140,000 tons. Inventory is flowing from processing plants to downstream sectors, and warehouse receipts are rising after centralized cancellations [10]. 3. Technical Analysis - The 2 - hour cycle Band Winner indicator of the lithium carbonate 2511 contract shows a green line, blue ribbon, and green ladder, indicating that the contract may weaken in the short term. The 2 - hour cycle long - short dividing water level overnight is 80,960 yuan/ton [11].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report The decline of crude oil has temporarily paused due to Powell's dovish stance and a significant drawdown in EIA inventories. However, there is no substantial positive news in the crude oil market, and the medium - term downward pressure driven by the approaching peak - season demand inflection point and OPEC+ over - production remains clear. [1][2] 3. Summary by Commodity (1) Crude Oil - **Logic**: The unexpected significant decline in EIA weekly inventories and Powell's dovish stance have led to a short - term halt in the decline of crude oil. The medium - term and short - term structures are both bearish. [1] - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The intraday performance on the day was volatile, with the short - term pressure above the hourly - level still referring to the 494 line. [2] - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle. [1][2] (2) Styrene (EB) - **Logic**: The fundamentals of styrene have not improved significantly. Although non - integrated plants are still at a loss, the weekly production of styrene has reached a new high both year - on - year and month - on - month under the high profits of integrated plants. The supply growth is faster than the demand growth this year, resulting in a historically high inventory. In the future, from September to October, it will face the pressure of new plant commissioning, and the high - supply pressure will continue. [6] - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It rose and then fell on the day, and the 15 - minute small cycle changed from rising to falling again. There are also signs of breaking the upward trend at the hourly - level. Temporarily focus on the 7380 line as the pressure on the 15 - minute small cycle. [6] - **Strategy**: Hold the remaining short positions on the hourly cycle, and look for short - selling signals on the intraday when the price is below the 15 - minute pressure. [6] (3) Rubber - **Logic**: The production in the Southeast Asian rainy season has not increased significantly, and imports have slowed down. The domestic natural rubber inventory has started to decline, but it is still at a historically high level year - on - year. The downstream tire demand has not weakened, and the short - term fundamentals of rubber have improved. [9] - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It increased in volume on the day and tested the short - term pressure at the 15950 line again, but failed to break through effectively. [9] - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle, with the stop - loss reference at the 15950 line. [9] (4) Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Logic**: On the cost side, a large amount of butadiene has arrived at the port, and the previously low port inventory has rebounded rapidly. Coupled with the commissioning of new plants, the fundamentals of butadiene are still bearish. However, the downstream tire demand has not weakened, and combined with the speculation of capacity reduction in the energy and chemical sector and the elimination of South Korean plant capacity last week, the short - term sentiment is strong. [13] - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term oscillating/downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It increased in volume and position on the day and stood above the short - term pressure, with the short - term support below at the 11600 line. First, focus on the 11830 support on the 15 - minute upward structure. [13] - **Strategy**: Stop the loss of short positions on the hourly cycle. [13] (5) PX - **Logic**: The profit of PX has recovered, and the operation rate will gradually increase after the peak of plant maintenance. On the demand side, the operation rate of polyester has also increased with the arrival of the peak season. Both supply and demand are booming, and the short - term fundamentals have improved. [17] - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It was oscillating on the day, with a bullish short - term structure. Focus on the 6915 line as the short - term support. [17] - **Strategy**: Observe on the hourly cycle. [17] (6) PTA - **Logic**: The fundamentals of PTA have been continuously improving recently. On the supply side, due to the increase in unexpected maintenance, the operation rate has declined month - on - month, and the supply pressure is low. The downstream terminals are gradually entering the peak season, and the operation rate has rebounded, with a strong future expectation. The previous inventory accumulation pattern has turned into inventory reduction, and the short - term supply - demand is strong. However, the medium - term oversupply expectation of crude oil on the cost side still exists, and combined with the short - term anti - involution sentiment disturbance, it is recommended to focus on short - term long - position bands, and be cautious with trend positions. [21] - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It was oscillating on the day, with a bullish short - term structure. Focus on the 4825 line as the short - term support. [21] - **Strategy**: Observe on the hourly cycle. [21] (7) PP - **Logic**: With the commissioning of new capacity and weak downstream demand, the fundamentals are bearish. However, the short - term market sentiment was bullish last week due to the positive sentiment in the energy and chemical sector. [23] - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It was oscillating on the day, with a bullish 15 - minute short - cycle structure, and the hourly - level pressure is far away. [23] - **Strategy**: Partially stop the profit of short positions on the hourly cycle, and re - enter short positions after the 15 - minute cycle turns bearish again. [23] (8) Methanol - **Logic**: The domestic supply and demand are both booming, with high operation rate and high production of methanol coexisting with high operation rate of downstream industries. However, the ships from the Middle East have resumed shipping and arrived at the port, and the expected arrival volume in August is still expected to increase significantly. The port inventory, which has rapidly accumulated to a historical high recently, still exerts great pressure on the market. [26] - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward/oscillating structure, and the short - term shows a downward structure. It was oscillating on the day without changing the downward structure. Focus on the 2455 line as the short - term pressure above. [26] - **Strategy**: Continue to hold the remaining short positions on the hourly cycle. [26] (9) PVC - **Logic**: The supply remains at a high level, the demand shows no improvement, and the inventory continues to accumulate. The fundamental driving force is still bearish. [30] - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It was oscillating on the day without changing the downward structure. The short - term pressure above is at the 5060 line. [30] - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle. [30] (10) Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Logic**: On the demand side, the operation rate of polyester has rebounded, and the domestic operation rate has declined month - on - month. Coupled with the low arrival volume of ethylene glycol recently, the low port inventory makes its fundamentals stronger than other energy and chemical products. [31] - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term oscillating/downward structure, and the hourly - level shows an upward structure. It increased in volume and position on the day, with a bullish short - term structure. Focus on the 4455 line as the short - term support below. [31] - **Strategy**: Observe on the hourly level. [31] (11) Plastic - **Logic**: The operation rate of PE has declined, but the downstream demand shows no improvement, and the downstream maintains just - in - time inventory replenishment. The fundamental driving force is average. However, the market sentiment was bullish last week due to the positive sentiment in the energy and chemical sector and the speculation of South Korean plant capacity reduction. [34] - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term oscillating/downward structure, and the hourly - level downward structure is being tested. It was oscillating and strengthening slightly on the day, testing the previous high pressure. [34] - **Strategy**: Observe on the hourly cycle. [34] (12) Soda Ash - **Logic**: The supply remains at a high level, and on the demand side, except for the rigid demand of glass, the speculative demand has weakened. The inventory pressure of soda ash plants has increased again, and the heavy soda inventory has reached a new historical high. The supply - demand pressure of soda ash is still large, and the anti - involution has no substantial impact on the supply of soda ash. The fundamental driving force is still downward. [38] - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. It rose and then fell on the day while oscillating, without changing the downward structure. The short - term pressure on the 01 contract is far away. Temporarily look at the 1320 small support on the 15 - minute short - cycle upward structure. [38] - **Strategy**: Hold the remaining short positions. [38] (13) Caustic Soda - **Logic**: On the one hand, the fundamentals of caustic soda are affected by the anti - involution sentiment and the possible restriction of chlorine transportation due to the 9.3 military parade. The characteristics of difficult storage and low storage capacity of hazardous chemicals mean that once the outbound circulation is restricted, the enterprise operation rate and production are expected to decline rapidly. On the other hand, the fundamentals of caustic soda itself have also strengthened recently. However, the short - term bullish expectation has weakened after the 9.3 military parade, and the historically high supply still exerts some pressure, with limited upward space. [40] - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows an upward structure. It was oscillating on the day, with a bullish hourly - level structure. Focus on the 2670 line as the short - term support below. [42] - **Strategy**: Observe on the hourly cycle. [42]
