Report's Core View - The global trade situation is stabilizing with positive progress in tariff negotiations between the US and its major trading partners, which has led to a decline in market risk - aversion sentiment. The market is waiting for the Fed's interest - rate decision and the progress of Sino - US trade negotiations. Different commodities are expected to show various trends based on their own fundamentals and macro - economic factors [2][5]. 3.

Commodity fluctuations have intensified. A - shares opened lower and closed higher with heavy trading volume. The bond market significantly adjusted under pressure. In the long - term, social security policies are expected to ease over - capacity and involution problems, and domestic demand policies may continue to strengthen.

COMEX gold futures rose 2.08% to $3383 per ounce, while COMEX silver futures fell 0.09% to $38.33 per ounce. The market is concerned about Sino - US economic and trade negotiations and the Fed meeting. The US and China will extend reciprocal tariffs and counter - measures for 90 days. The EU may purchase 40 billion euros of AI chips in the US - EU trade agreement. The US labor market data is weak, and the trade deficit has narrowed. The market expects the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged this week but is highly concerned about its policy outlook. If more Fed members support a rate cut in September, it may boost gold prices. Short - term gold and silver prices are expected to fluctuate [4][5][6]. 3.3 Copper - On Tuesday, SHFE copper was weakly volatile, and LME copper sought support at the $9700 level. The spot market trading of electrolytic copper improved slightly, and domestic trade copper rose to a premium of 110 yuan/ton.

Heavy rain in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region has affected raw material transportation. The supply shortage in some areas has slightly improved. The supply is mixed with both positive and negative factors, and consumer demand has changed little. It is expected that lead prices will consolidate horizontally in the short - term [16][17]. 3.8 Tin - On Tuesday, SHFE tin was volatile. The rainy season in Myanmar may disrupt tin ore transportation, intensifying the shortage of raw material supply. Domestic refined tin smelter operations have marginally improved but remain at a low level. The off - season for downstream consumption continues, and high - price buying is insufficient. Domestic inventories have increased, but LME inventories are at a low level. It is expected that tin prices will adjust, but the adjustment range will be limited [18]. 3.9 Industrial Silicon - On Tuesday, the industrial silicon main contract continued to rebound.

The Sino - US trade negotiations reached a consensus to extend reciprocal tariffs and counter - measures for 90 days. The macro - situation is positive, and supply is expected to shrink in mid - August due to parade - related production restrictions. It is expected that steel prices will fluctuate strongly [21][22]. - **Iron Ore**: On Tuesday, iron ore futures rebounded. Port inventories decreased, mainly due to reduced arrivals and resilient steel mill purchases. Steel mills are profitable, and iron ore supply remains stable. It is expected that iron ore prices will fluctuate and rebound [23]. 3.11 Agricultural Products - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: On Tuesday, soybean meal and rapeseed meal futures showed different trends. The weather in the US soybean - producing areas is favorable, increasing the expectation of high yields. The US and China will extend reciprocal tariffs and counter - measures for 90 days.

With the tariff paths of many countries becoming clearer, market risk appetite has slightly increased [2]. - Domestic: The current market is in a stage of "strong expectation, weak reality". The positive sentiment brought by supply - side optimization policies is still evolving. A - shares once broke through the 3600 - point mark, and trading volume and margin trading balances increased. In June, the year - on - year decline in industrial enterprise profits narrowed to - 4.3%, mainly driven by the automotive industry. Short - term attention should be paid to market sentiment, policy outcomes, and tariff negotiations [3]. Summary by Directory Overseas Macro - US 7 - month Manufacturing and Services PMI Differentiation: The US 7 - month Markit manufacturing PMI was 49.5, weaker than expected and below the boom - bust line.

Tong Guan Jin Yuan Qi Huo· 2025-07-28 07:59
Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Views of the Report - The lithium ore supply remains abundant, and the high - frequency supply stays at a high level driven by prices. The lithium salt market has a cold trading atmosphere, and downstream players doubt the sustainability of high - priced lithium. However, policies from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission have led to concerns about supply disruptions, causing prices to rise without obvious fundamental improvement [4]. - On the disk, driven by relevant policies and rumors, the positions expanded significantly to nearly 500,000 lots during the reporting period, while the exchange warehouse receipts were more than 10,000. The risk of the virtual - to - real ratio is high, and the position risk expectation rises [4]. - With policy guidance, lithium prices may still have room to rise. Policy - wise, the decision - making layer’s determination to address the "involution" phenomenon boosts market sentiment. On the disk, despite the false news of the suspension of the review of Jiangxi lithium mines, the positions increased significantly, and the market sentiment remained strong. Fundamentally, the upstream has a strong production - increasing expectation driven by high prices, while the downstream has a weak willingness to replenish inventory actively. The lithium market is expected to be guided by policy expectations, and prices may fluctuate strongly [4][15]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - From July 18 to July 25, 2025, the prices of imported lithium raw ore (1.3% - 2.2%), imported lithium concentrate (5.5% - 6%), and domestic lithium concentrate (5.5% - 6%) increased by 6.91%, 4.83%, and 4.83% respectively. The battery - grade lithium carbonate spot price rose by 15.09%, and the industrial - grade lithium carbonate spot price decreased by 100%. The lithium carbonate inventory decreased by 1.14% [6]. Market Analysis and Outlook Last Week's Market Analysis - As of July 25, 2025, the Guangzhou Futures Exchange's warehouse receipt scale was 11,996 tons, and the latest matching transaction price was 63,580 yuan/ton. The position scale of the main contract 2509 was 491,000 lots [8]. - The weekly output of lithium carbonate was 18,548 tons as of July 25, an increase of 235 tons from the previous period. Rumors of the suspension of the review of Jiangxi lithium mines led to concerns about resource disruptions, causing lithium prices to rise and positions to expand by more than 100,000 lots. Driven by high prices, upstream supply will remain high [8]. - In May, the import volume of lithium carbonate was about 21,100 tons, a decrease of 25% month - on - month and 14% year - on - year. The import volume from Chile and Argentina decreased. In June, the shipment volume from Chile to China increased slightly, but it was still at a low level [9]. - In May, the import volume of lithium ore was about 605,000 tons, a decrease of 2.9% month - on - month. The import volume from Australia and South Africa increased, while that from Zimbabwe decreased significantly [10][11]. - In terms of downstream demand, the prices of cathode materials increased, but the trading was general. Material factories were still waiting and watching high - priced lithium, and the willingness to stock up was not high. In the new energy vehicle market, the consumption growth rate slowed down, and the potential consumption needs to be explored [12][13]. - As of July 25, the total lithium carbonate inventory was 119,616 tons, a decrease of about 1,374 tons from the previous period. The factory inventory and market inventory decreased, while the exchange inventory increased [14]. This Week's Outlook - With policy guidance, lithium prices may still have room to rise. Policy - wise, the draft amendment to the Price Law boosts market sentiment. On the disk, the market sentiment remains strong. Fundamentally, the upstream has a strong production - increasing expectation, while the downstream has a weak willingness to replenish inventory actively. The lithium market is expected to be guided by policy expectations, and prices may fluctuate strongly [15]. Industry News - Argentina rejected Ganfeng Lithium's application for the second - phase expansion of the Mariana project. Meanwhile, Galan's lithium project was approved [16]. - Yongxing Materials responded that its production and operation were normal, without production reduction or suspension [16]. - Yichun Yinli plans to stop production for equipment maintenance to reduce costs and ensure safety [16].

The weather, including precipitation and temperature, was generally suitable, and recent forecasts were favorable for crop growth and development. Although the good - to - excellent rate of U.S. soybeans was revised down, it was at a relatively high level compared to the same period. The U.S. reached trade agreements with countries such as Japan and the Philippines, alleviating market concerns about trade, improving expectations for China - U.S. trade negotiations, and potentially facilitating the resumption of U.S. soybean purchases. In China, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced measures to control pig production capacity, promote low - protein technology, and reduce the substitution of bean meal. The bullish sentiment subsided, and there was a significant reduction in positions to take profits, leading to the week - long oscillation and decline of the Dalian bean meal futures [4][7]. - The cumulative precipitation forecast for the U.S. soybean - producing areas in the next two weeks is higher than the average, and the recent high - temperature weather will subside by the end of the month. The overall situation is relatively good, which may lay the foundation for high soybean yields. The U.S. has reached trade agreements with countries such as the Philippines, Japan, and Europe. The China - U.S. economic and trade negotiations in Sweden are imminent, and the market has improved expectations, which may be beneficial for the resumption of U.S. soybean purchases. The domestic bean meal inventory level continues to increase, and there is still pressure on the spot market. After the bullish funds cash in on their profits, they are waiting for guidance from the negotiation results. In the short term, the Dalian bean meal may fluctuate widely [4][11].

The EU's bean meal imports in the 2025/2026 season were 100 tons, compared with 111 tons last year [13]. - The AAFC adjusted key data in its July supply - demand report. It adopted the latest rapeseed production data for the 2024/2025 season released by Statistics Canada, significantly increasing the production forecast to about 1919 tons, compared with the previous forecast of 1785 tons. The export expectation of old - crop rapeseed was also raised to 950 tons. Looking forward to the 2025/2026 season, the AAFC lowered the rapeseed production forecast by 20 tons to 1780 tons, based on a yield of 2.08 tons per hectare, lower than the 2.17 tons per hectare last year [13]. - From August 2024 to May 2025, Russia's rapeseed meal exports increased by 32% year - on - year to about 56.7 tons, mainly due to strong demand from China and Turkey. Due to the EU's import tariffs on Russian rapeseed meal, Russian exporters turned to the Asian market. China's imports of Russian rapeseed meal increased from 10,000 - 20,000 tons per month to 30,000 - 50,000 tons per month. China's total imports of Russian rapeseed meal from August 2024 to May 2025 were 24 tons, compared with 11.2 tons in the same period last year. Turkey's imports also doubled to 10.1 tons, with 93% coming from Russia [14]. - Argentina's soybean crushing volume in June was 4055149 tons, the soybean oil production was 788210 tons, and the bean meal production was 3021082 tons. As of July 1, 2025, the soybean inventory in Argentine factories was 3515877 tons, the soybean oil inventory was 283900 tons, and the bean meal inventory was 814862 tons [14]. - A commodity research report predicted that Australia's rapeseed production in the 2025/2026 season would be 570 tons, a 5% decrease from the previous expectation. The production forecast was lowered mainly because the yield forecasts in New South Wales and Victoria were reduced due to recent droughts that were unfavorable for crop growth [15]. Related Charts - The report provides multiple charts, including the trend of U.S. soybean continuous contracts, the CNF arrival price of Brazilian soybeans, the RMB spot exchange rate trend, the regional crushing profit, the trend of the bean meal main contract, the net position of managed funds in the CBOT, the spot price of bean meal in different regions, the spot - futures price difference of bean meal, the precipitation and temperature in U.S. soybean - producing areas, the flowering rate and good - to - excellent rate of U.S. soybeans, the cumulative export sales volume of U.S. soybeans to the world, the weekly net sales volume of U.S. soybeans, the cumulative sales volume of new - season U.S. soybeans, the weekly net sales volume of U.S. soybeans to China, the weekly export volume of U.S. soybeans, the weekly average daily trading volume and delivery volume of bean meal, the U.S. oil mill crushing profit, the soybean inventory in ports and oil mills, the weekly crushing volume and startup rate of oil mills, the bean meal inventory in oil mills, and the inventory days of bean meal in feed enterprises [16][21][24].
铝周报:关注库存及政策走向,铝价震荡-20250728

Group 1: Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - There is no information provided about the report's investment rating for the industry. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the US-Japan tariff agreement and progress in EU-US trade negotiations, overseas risk aversion declined. In the domestic market, the news of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology eliminating old production capacity boosted market sentiment, which needed to be repaired later in the week. In terms of fundamentals, most recent capacity changes in the supply side were replacements, with a small amount of capacity resuming production in Guizhou, and the operating capacity increasing slightly by 10,000 tons compared to last week. Downstream, the aluminum processing weekly operating rate continued to decline slightly due to the triple pressures of weak demand in the off - season, high aluminum prices, and tariff uncertainties. The inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots increased by 12,000 tons to 510,000 tons, while the aluminum rod inventory decreased by 10,500 tons to 145,500 tons [2]. - This week, there is high uncertainty in the overseas Fed's interest - rate decision and the negotiation process of the expiration of US reciprocal tariffs, with high macro - elasticity. Fundamentally, the operating capacity in the supply side increased slightly. In the consumption side, due to the off - season and high aluminum prices, downstream purchasing slowed down. The social inventory of aluminum ingots increased slightly, but the aluminum rod inventory continued to decline, and the warehouse receipt inventory returned to around 60,000 tons after a short - term increase. Overall, the inventory increase was not very smooth. It is expected that the aluminum price will have a certain repair after last week's sentiment adjustment, and the relatively small supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals will support the aluminum price, leading to some adjustments [2][7]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Transaction Data - The price of LME Aluminum 3 - month decreased from 2,638 yuan/ton on July 18th to 2,631 yuan/ton on July 25th, a drop of 7 yuan/ton. The SHFE Aluminum Continuous 3 increased from 20,375 dollars/ton to 20,660 dollars/ton, a rise of 285 dollars/ton. The Shanghai - London aluminum ratio increased from 7.7 to 7.9, an increase of 0.1. The LME spot premium increased from - 0.78 dollars/ton to 1.07 dollars/ton, an increase of 1.9 dollars/ton. The LME aluminum inventory increased from 430,700 tons to 450,825 tons, an increase of 20,125 tons. The SHFE aluminum warehouse receipt inventory decreased from 66,548 tons to 54,675 tons, a decrease of 11,873 tons. The spot average price increased from 20,554 yuan/ton to 20,838 yuan/ton, an increase of 284 yuan/ton. The spot premium decreased from 120 yuan/ton to 10 yuan/ton, a decrease of 110 yuan/ton. The South - storage spot average price increased from 20,538 yuan/ton to 20,814 yuan/ton, an increase of 276 yuan/ton. The Shanghai - Guangdong price difference increased from 16 yuan/ton to 24 yuan/ton, an increase of 8 yuan/ton.

The theoretical average cost of electrolytic aluminum increased from 16,669.43 yuan/ton to 16,760.91 yuan/ton, an increase of 91.5 yuan/ton. The weekly average profit of electrolytic aluminum increased from 3,884.57 yuan/ton to 4,077.09 yuan/ton, an increase of 192.5 yuan/ton [3]. 行情评述 - The weekly average price of the spot market was 20,838 yuan/ton, an increase of 284 yuan/ton compared to last week. The weekly average price of the South - storage spot was 20,814 yuan/ton, an increase of 276 yuan/ton compared to last week [4]. 宏观方面 - The US - Japan tariff negotiation reached an agreement. The "reciprocal tariff" rate imposed by the US on Japan will be reduced from 25% to 15%, and Japan will increase the import of US rice under the current "minimum access system". The EU and the US are moving towards an agreement that will set a 15% tariff rate for most products. The South Korea - US "2 + 2" economic and trade consultation scheduled for the 25th was cancelled due to the US side. The preliminary value of the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI in July dropped to 49.5, the lowest since December 2024, while the preliminary value of the service industry PMI was 55.2, and the preliminary value of the composite PMI was 54.6, both reaching the highest since December 2024. The number of initial jobless claims in the US last week was 217,000, the lowest since mid - April, lower than the market expectation of 226,000 and the previous value of 221,000. EU member states voted to impose counter - tariffs on US products worth 93 billion euros. The European Central Bank kept its three key interest rates unchanged, pressing the "pause button" on interest - rate cuts for the first time after eight consecutive rate cuts since June last year. The preliminary value of the Eurozone's manufacturing PMI in July reached 49.8, the highest since July 2022, and the service industry PMI unexpectedly rose to 51.2, driving the composite PMI to 51, both higher than market expectations. The PMI data of Germany and France also rebounded [5][6]. 消费端 - According to SMM, the operating rate of the domestic downstream aluminum processing industry increased by 0.2 percentage points to 58.8% compared to the previous period. Currently, the downstream is in the off - season. The operating rate of the recycled alloy sector continued to decline, but due to the decline in the aluminum price center, there were differences among different sectors. The weekly operating rates of aluminum profiles and aluminum cables increased slightly, driving the marginal improvement of the industry's operating rate. It is expected that the weekly operating rate of the downstream aluminum processing industry will decline by 0.1 percentage points to 58.7% next week [6]. 库存方面 - According to SMM, on July 17th, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots was 492,000 tons, an increase of 26,000 tons compared to last Thursday, and the aluminum rod inventory was 156,000 tons, a decrease of 4,000 tons compared to the previous period [6]. 行情展望 - Similar to the core viewpoints, it emphasizes that after last week's sentiment adjustment, the aluminum price is expected to have a certain repair, and the relatively small supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals will support the aluminum price, leading to some adjustments [7]. 行业要闻 - According to the General Administration of Customs, in June 2025, the domestic import volume of primary aluminum was about 192,400 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 13.8% and a year - on - year increase of 58.7%. From January to June, the cumulative domestic import volume of primary aluminum was about 1,249,900 tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.5%. In June 2025, the net import of domestic primary aluminum was 172,700 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 9.4% and a year - on - year increase of 51.3%. From January to June, the cumulative net import of domestic primary aluminum was about 1,163,300 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.3%. According to SMM, a technical renovation project of an aluminum plant in Guangxi has started to gradually start up electrolytic cells. The first batch of 50,000 tons/year, a total of 84 electrolytic cells, is expected to be fully put into operation next month, and the remaining renovation capacity will be gradually started up within this year [8]. 相关图表 - The report includes various charts such as the price trend of LME Aluminum 3 - SHFE Aluminum Continuous 3, the Shanghai - London aluminum ratio, LME aluminum premium, Shanghai Aluminum current - month to continuous - one spread, seasonal spot premium of physical trade, domestic and imported alumina prices, electrolytic aluminum cost - profit, seasonal changes in electrolytic aluminum inventory, and seasonal changes in aluminum rod inventory [9][10][11][15].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Last week, the BMD Malaysian palm oil main contract fell 40 to close at 4,276 ringgit/ton, a decline of 0.93%; the palm oil 09 contract fell 28 to close at 8,936 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.31%; the soybean oil 09 contract fell 16 to close at 8,144 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.2%; the rapeseed oil 09 contract fell 129 to close at 9,457 yuan/ton, a decline of 1.35%; the CBOT US soybean oil main contract rose 0.34 to close at 55.92 cents/pound, an increase of 0.61%; the ICE canola active contract rose 1 to close at 699.9 Canadian dollars/ton, an increase of 0.14% [3][6]. - The domestic oil and fat sector fluctuated slightly lower, with rapeseed oil performing the weakest. The implementation of Indonesia's biodiesel policy, low ending inventory, and potential Indian import demand support palm oil. The continuous expansion of US crushing capacity and expected increase in biodiesel demand boost the soybean oil market. The good rapeseed production prospects in Canada and the EU suppress rapeseed oil. Malaysian palm oil production continued to increase in July, with exports weakening month - on - month, limiting the space for continuous rise, and more long - position funds taking profits, resulting in an overall volatile operation [3][6]. - Macroscopically, after the US reached trade agreements with Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan and other countries, it difficultly reached a tariff agreement with the EU, alleviating market concerns about trade sentiment. China and the US will hold economic and trade negotiations in Sweden. The US stock market fluctuated strongly, the US dollar index fluctuated at a low level, and oil prices fluctuated narrowly. Fundamentally, although supported by the medium - and long - term growth expectations of biodiesel demand in Indonesia and the US, the increasing production of Malaysian palm oil and weakening demand may limit the increase in the short term. Palm oil may fluctuate at a high level in the short term [3][10]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Data - The report presents the prices, price changes, and price change rates of multiple contracts (CBOT soybean oil main contract, BMD Malaysian palm oil main contract, DCE palm oil, DCE soybean oil, CZCE rapeseed oil) from July 18th to July 25th, as well as the spot prices of palm oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil in different regions and their changes [4]. 3.2 Market Analysis and Outlook - **Production Data**: According to UOB, as of July 20th, Malaysian palm oil production is expected to increase by 5 - 9%. MPOA data shows that from July 1 - 20th, production increased by 11.24% compared to the same period last month. SPPOMA data shows that from July 1 - 20th, 2025, the fresh fruit bunch yield increased by 7.03%, the oil extraction rate decreased by 0.16%, and palm oil production increased by 6.19% [7]. - **Export Data**: According to ITS, Malaysia's palm oil exports from July 1 - 25th decreased by 9.2% compared to the same period last month. AmSpec data shows a 15.22% month - on - month decrease. SGS data shows a 35.99% decrease in exports from July 1 - 20th compared to the same period last month. Indonesia's palm oil exports increased significantly in May and June, with exports to India and China rising strongly. MPOB expects Malaysia's palm oil production and exports to increase in 2025, while GAPKI expects Indonesia's exports to decline [8][9]. - **Inventory and Demand Data**: As of July 18th, the total inventory of the three major oils in key domestic regions increased. The weekly average daily trading volume of soybean oil and palm oil decreased slightly. Although there is long - term support from biodiesel demand in Indonesia and the US, the increasing production and weakening demand of Malaysian palm oil may limit price increases in the short term [10]. 3.3 Industry News - The FAO's "2025 - 34 Agricultural Outlook" points out that due to sustainability issues and the aging of oil palm trees in Indonesia and Malaysia, the growth rate of global palm oil production is expected to slow, with a projected annual growth rate of 0.8% [11]. - India has become Malaysia's largest importer of oil palm seeds, and its demand for Malaysian palm oil has increased significantly. MPOC expects the price of crude palm oil to be between 4,100 - 4,300 ringgit next month, and India is expected to import about 2.9 million tons of palm oil in the third quarter to meet festival demand [11][12]. - Indonesia's Ministry of Finance expects an increase in palm oil product exports to the EU in the second half of 2025, as the IEU - CEPA agreement and the US tariff reduction policy will create opportunities for Indonesian exports [12]. 3.4 Relevant Charts - The report provides multiple charts showing the price trends of palm oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil in futures and spot markets, as well as the production, exports, inventory, and import profits of palm oil in Malaysia and Indonesia [13][18][21] etc.

LME zinc broke through the 2,800 dollars/ton level, then its upward trend slowed down, closing at 2,829 dollars/ton, a weekly increase of 0.18% [6]. - In the spot market, zinc price rebounds led to weakened downstream purchasing power, and spot premiums remained weak. There was inventory accumulation in Shanghai, Guangdong, and Tianjin due to normal arrivals and low downstream purchasing enthusiasm [7]. - In the macro - aspect, the US manufacturing PMI fell into contraction, but overall business activity expanded rapidly. The number of initial jobless claims in the US decreased for the sixth consecutive week, and the number of continuing jobless claims remained at a high level since 2021. The European Central Bank maintained interest rates unchanged, and the September interest - rate cut expectation dropped sharply [8][9]. 3.
