Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Last week, the main contract price of Shanghai zinc futures rebounded weakly. The weakening US dollar and the concentrated low inventory of LME zinc with signs of a squeeze contributed to the rebound of zinc prices both at home and abroad. However, due to the continued inventory accumulation during the domestic off - season and insufficient downstream purchasing, the upward momentum of Shanghai zinc was limited, and the rebound height is expected to be restricted [3][4][11] Summary by Directory Trading Data - From August 1st to August 8th, the SHFE zinc price rose from 22,320 yuan/ton to 22,515 yuan/ton, an increase of 195 yuan/ton; the LME zinc price rose from 2,729.5 dollars/ton to 2,834 dollars/ton, an increase of 104.5 dollars/ton. The Shanghai - London ratio decreased from 8.18 to 7.94. The SHFE inventory increased by 4,193 tons to 65,917 tons, the LME inventory decreased by 19,325 tons to 81,500 tons, the social inventory increased by 10,000 tons to 113,200 tons, and the spot premium decreased by 40 yuan/ton to - 30 yuan/ton [5] Market Review - The main contract of Shanghai zinc (ZN2509) rebounded weakly, with a weekly increase of 0.87%, closing at 22,515 yuan/ton. LME zinc also rebounded, with a weekly increase of 3.83%, closing at 2,834 dollars/ton. In the spot market, after the zinc price rebounded, downstream purchasing weakened, and the market remained dull. As of August 8th, LME zinc inventory decreased, while SHFE and social inventories increased. In terms of the macro - environment, the US economic data was mixed, and domestic import and export data in July exceeded expectations with positive changes in inflation data [6][7][8] Industry News - As of August 8th, the average weekly processing fee for domestic zinc concentrates remained flat at 3,900 yuan/metal ton, and that for imported zinc concentrates increased by 3.5 dollars/dry ton to 82.25 dollars/dry ton. Pan American Silver Corp's zinc concentrate production in Q2 2025 was 12,600 tons, a year - on - year increase of 25%. Nyrstar received 135 million Australian dollars in support from the Australian government. Glencore's self - owned zinc production in Q2 2025 was 251,600 tons, 19% higher than in Q2 2024, and its 2025 self - owned zinc production guidance was adjusted to 940,000 - 980,000 tons [12] Related Charts - The report includes multiple charts showing the price trends of Shanghai and LME zinc, price ratios, spot and LME premium/discounts, inventory changes, zinc ore processing fees, smelter profits, refined zinc production and import/export, and downstream enterprise开工率 [13][15][17]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - Last week, industrial silicon rebounded from its low level. The main reasons were the continuous fermentation of anti - involution sentiment in China, the elimination of excess production capacity in the downstream photovoltaic industry chain, and the entry into a stage of quality improvement and efficiency enhancement, which was beneficial to the industry's development prospects. Additionally, China's trade data in July was impressive, with minimal impact from tariffs. The supply side did not show significant expansion, while the demand side faced various challenges. It is expected that the component shipments in August will shrink significantly, and the industrial silicon spot market declined slightly. Technically, the futures price is expected to enter a volatile upward trend in the short term [2][6][10]. Summary by Directory Market Data - From August 1st to August 8th, the industrial silicon主力 contract rose from 8,500 yuan/ton to 8,710 yuan/ton, an increase of 2.47%. The prices of various spot products such as通氧 553,不通氧 553, 421, 3303, and有机硅 DMC decreased, while the price of多晶硅致密料 increased by 6.82%. The industrial silicon social inventory rose to 54.7 tons, an increase of 1.30% [4]. Market Analysis and Outlook - **Macro - aspect**: In July, China's exports increased by 7.2% (in US dollars). In the first seven months, China's total import and export value was 25.7 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 3.5%. High - tech product imports and exports increased by 8.4%, and the "new three" green and low - carbon products increased by 14.9% [7]. - **Supply - demand aspect**: As of August 8th, the weekly output of industrial silicon was 83,400 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.2% and a year - on - year decrease of 17.9%. The overall furnace - opening rate in the three major producing areas rose slightly to 33.9%. The demand side faced challenges such as limited downstream acceptance of price increases by polysilicon enterprises, difficulty in covering costs in the silicon wafer market, high supply - side pressure in the photovoltaic cell market, and low downstream acceptance in the component market. It is expected that component shipments in August will shrink significantly [8]. - **Inventory aspect**: As of August 8th, the national social inventory of industrial silicon rose to 547,000 tons. The exchange's registered warehouse receipts continued to increase, and the inventory pressure of warehouse receipts decreased due to the continuous decline in domestic production [9]. Industry News - On August 1st, 2025, the US Department of Commerce launched a second anti - dumping and counter - subsidy sunset review investigation on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products imported from China and a second anti - dumping sunset review investigation on products imported from Taiwan, China. The China Photovoltaic Industry Association called on relevant units to provide opinions on the "Price Law Amendment Draft (Exposure Draft)". Guosheng Securities believes that in the context of anti - involution, the price of polysilicon is expected to return above the industry cost price, and attention should be paid to the price repair opportunities in the downstream industrial chain [11][12]. Related Charts - The report provides multiple charts showing data such as industrial silicon production, exports, social inventory, and prices of related products over different time periods [14][17][19].

Exports to the EU and ASEAN increased, partially offsetting the decline in exports to the US. The A - share market was in a narrow - range shock, and the bond market rose. The central bank announced a 700 - billion - yuan 3 - month repurchase [3]. 3.2 Precious Metals - On Thursday, international precious metal futures continued to rise. The increasing expectation of the Fed's rate cut, weak employment data, and Trump's nomination of a dovish Fed governor have strengthened the rate - cut expectation, boosting precious metals. It is expected that precious metal prices will maintain a shock - upward trend in the short term [4][5]. 3.3 Copper - On Thursday, the main contract of Shanghai copper fluctuated narrowly, and LME copper encountered resistance and fell after failing to break through $9700. China's July copper ore imports increased significantly. Due to the strong trade data, the return of overseas supplies, and the expected rate cut by the Fed, copper prices are expected to remain in a strong - shock trend in the short term [6][7]. 3.4 Aluminum - On Thursday, the main contract of Shanghai aluminum rose 0.73%, and LME aluminum fell 0.42%. The macro - positive supports aluminum prices, but the fundamentals are general, with inventory remaining flat this week and consumption in the off - season.

The inventory has increased slightly due to the increase in production in the southwest during the wet season. The anti - involution sentiment is still fermenting, and industrial silicon prices are expected to maintain a strong - shock trend in the short term [15][16]. 3.10 Carbonate Lithium - On Thursday, the price of carbonate lithium futures fluctuated strongly. The market focuses on resource disturbances at home and abroad, but the domestic lithium ore supply is abundant. The spot market is in a wait - and - see state. The short - term price is driven by expectations, but the drag of resource disturbances subsiding should be vigilant. It is cautiously bullish in the short term [17][18]. 3.11 Nickel - On Thursday, nickel prices fluctuated. The US labor market shows signs of cooling, and new tariff disturbances have emerged. The supply of nickel ore is increasing, and the demand for nickel iron is weak. Nickel prices may be dragged down by weakening macro - expectations in the short term [19][20]. 3.12 Crude Oil - On Thursday, crude oil prices fluctuated weakly.

Crude oil prices are in a weak - shock state [21]. 3.13 Steel and Iron Ore - Steel: On Thursday, steel futures fluctuated. The output increased slightly, the apparent demand declined, and the inventory accumulated. Due to the expected production restrictions for the military parade, the inventory pressure is not large, and steel prices are expected to maintain a shock trend [23]. - Iron Ore: On Thursday, iron ore futures fluctuated. The supply is stable, the demand is still resilient, and the export of steel products continues to contribute to the increase. It is expected to be in a weak - shock trend, and the impact of northern military - parade production restrictions should be focused on in the medium term [24]. 3.14 Bean and Rapeseed Meal - On Thursday, the soybean meal contract rose, and the rapeseed meal contract fell. The drought - affected area of US soybeans decreased, and the export sales slightly exceeded expectations.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - In the next month, with increasing constraints on steel supply and demand in the off - season, steel prices are expected to maintain a volatile and slightly stronger trend. The "anti - involution" policy has a mid - term impact on the supply - demand relationship, and the steel market is in a double - weak supply - demand pattern [4]. - In July, steel futures prices rose strongly driven by policies and then回调 at the end of the month. In August, the market focuses on the implementation of the "anti - involution" policy, pre - parade production restrictions, and the demand expectations for the peak seasons [9]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Market Review - In July, steel futures prices rose strongly due to policy drivers and then fell at the end of the month. The main contracts of rebar and hot - rolled coil futures rose by over 10%. Spot prices also increased. The "anti - involution" policy and coal mine over - production checks led to cost increases, pushing up prices. At the end of the month, the lack of incremental stimulus policies and lower - than - expected PMI caused market sentiment to cool down [9]. - In August, the market focuses on the implementation of the "anti - involution" policy, pre - parade production restrictions, and the demand expectations for the peak seasons [9]. 2. Steel Fundamental Analysis 2.1 Anti - Involution Policy Disturbance, Supply Expectation Enhancement - The "anti - involution" policy in July aimed to regulate market competition. In the short term, it caused price fluctuations in coking coal. In the long term, it may reshape the supply - demand structure and profit distribution in the black commodity market. The coal industry may see increased concentration and pricing power [15]. - In July, steel supply remained relatively high. Profit - driven production led to high iron - water output and increased short - process production. In August, pre - parade production restrictions are expected, but supply in the first and middle of the month remains elastic [16]. 2.2 Steel Inventory Accumulation Accelerated at the End of the Month - In July, steel inventory continued to decline overall but showed signs of marginal accumulation at the end of the month. The total inventory of five major steel products increased slightly, with social inventory rising and factory inventory falling. Due to production restrictions and policies in August, inventory pressure is generally not large [19]. 2.3 Demand in the Off - Season, Weak Real Estate and Slowing Infrastructure - In July, steel demand was weak in the off - season, but exports remained resilient. Construction steel demand was weak due to the real - estate slump, and infrastructure investment growth slowed. Plate demand also weakened marginally. The manufacturing PMI was in the contraction range, and the "trade - in" policy's effect on the manufacturing industry diminished [22]. 2.4 Increased Policy Impact - Multiple policies were introduced in July. The "anti - involution" policy affected the steel market. Real - estate investment continued to decline, while the Yarlung Zangbo River downstream hydropower project started, which may drive new infrastructure investment expectations [24][27][28]. 3. Market Outlook - Supply side: In July, steel supply remained high with significant differentiation among varieties. In August, pre - parade production restrictions are expected, but supply in the first and middle of the month remains elastic due to profit incentives [44][46]. - Demand side: In July, steel demand was weak in the off - season, but exports remained resilient. Construction steel and plate demand both declined. Manufacturing was under pressure, and overseas exports maintained a good growth rate [46]. - In the next month, with increasing supply constraints and demand in the off - season, steel prices are expected to maintain a volatile and slightly stronger trend due to policy impacts [47].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, the market is pricing in the risk of a cooling US economy and an escalation of tariff threats. The US ISM Services PMI in July dropped to 50.1, indicating rising stagflation risks, while the Markit Services PMI rose to 55.7. Trump announced potential tariff hikes, and the appointment of a new Fed Chair is anticipated. In the domestic market, the Chinese Services PMI in July reached a 14 - month high. A - shares showed a bullish trend, and the bond market was volatile. In August, with limited domestic policy and event expectations and increasing overseas uncertainties, the equity market may oscillate, and opportunities in the bond market should be monitored [2][3]. - For precious metals, supported by interest - rate cut expectations, gold and silver continued to rebound. The market expects the Fed to start cutting rates in September, and Trump's tariff announcements may further boost risk - aversion sentiment [4][5]. - In the copper market, the US service industry is at risk of stagnation, but the expectation of a September rate cut has increased. With overseas concentrate shortages and mine restart issues, and inventory rebounds, copper prices are expected to find support and then stabilize [6][7]. - Aluminum prices are under pressure. Although the decline in the US Services PMI has increased speculation of a Fed rate cut, global economic uncertainties and trade policies have affected demand. With rising inventory, aluminum prices are expected to remain under pressure [8][9]. - Alumina prices are expected to be under pressure and oscillate. With an increase in warehouse receipts and a relaxation of market supply, and stable consumption, the market shows a mixed situation [10]. - Zinc prices are expected to be under pressure below the moving average. With a weakening economy, weak consumption, and increasing supply, the expectation of an oversupply is strong, but the short - term decline may be limited [11][12]. - Lead prices are expected to remain weak. With limited consumption improvement, supply increases, and potential cost support weakening, lead prices lack upward momentum [13][14]. - Tin prices may have limited upward momentum. Although supply has marginally recovered, consumption is weak, and the market is in a destocking phase. The price rebound driven by capital reduction may face pressure [15]. - Industrial silicon prices may stop falling. With the increase in production during the southwest's wet season and the rebound of warehouse receipts, and the recovery of anti - involution sentiment, the prices are expected to stabilize [16][17]. - Lithium carbonate prices are weak. Affected by the cooling of anti - involution governance, prices are returning to fundamentals. Technically, there is still room for decline, but policy risks remain high [18][19]. - Nickel prices are expected to oscillate. With weakening terminal demand and an expected supply surplus, but a solid cost base, and fluctuating macro - expectations, nickel prices will remain volatile [20]. - Crude oil prices are weak. With the potential reduction of US sanctions on Russia and OPEC+'s production increase plan, along with rising stagflation concerns, oil prices are expected to be weak, but Middle - East geopolitical risks should be watched [21]. - Steel prices are expected to be slightly bullish. With stable spot trading, the output of major steel products is stable, and demand is mixed. With the expected supply reduction due to the northern parade limit, prices may oscillate upwards [22][23]. - Iron ore prices are expected to oscillate. With a slight increase in port inventory, stable supply, and high steel - mill iron - water production, prices will remain range - bound, and the impact of northern parade - related production limits should be monitored [24]. - Soybean and rapeseed meal prices may oscillate. With normal precipitation in US soybean - growing areas, slow export sales of new - crop soybeans, and the upcoming arrival of Argentine soybean meal, prices will show wide - range oscillations [25]. - Palm oil prices may oscillate and adjust. With concerns about a potential US stagflation, falling oil prices, and expectations of an inventory increase in Malaysian palm oil, but support from Indonesia's B40 policy, and the entry of long - position funds, palm oil prices are in an oscillatory phase [26][27]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - In July, steel mills maintained high production intensity. Driven by profits, the mills' operation was at a high level, and molten iron production remained resilient, supporting raw material demand. The market began to factor in the expectations of production restrictions for the September military parade and flat control of crude steel output, with a greater impact on far - month contracts and a weakening of the monthly spread [3][14][43]. - In July, the total iron ore shipments declined seasonally but remained at a relatively high level. The weekly average shipments from Australia and Brazil were 22.63 million tons, a decrease of 2.97 million tons month - on - month. The weekly average shipments from Australia were 15.5 million tons, a decrease of 2.74 million tons month - on - month, and those from Brazil were 7.13 million tons, a decrease of 0.24 million tons month - on - month. Shipments from non - mainstream countries were 5.23 million tons, a decrease of 0.47 million tons month - on - month but still at a high level year - on - year. Shipments from regions such as India and Ukraine were stable. Shipments in August are expected to be stable [3][17][43]. - In the next month, focus on the impact of military parade production restrictions in the north. Macroscopically, important events such as China - US tariff negotiations have been finalized, and the expectation of anti - involution still provides support. Currently, steel mills' profitability is at a high level, and their willingness to start operations is strong. Demand will be resilient in the first and middle ten - days, while molten iron production will be under pressure in the last ten - days when production restrictions are implemented. Downstream demand will gradually enter the peak season, and the consumption expectations for the "Golden September and Silver October" will strengthen. Coupled with steel mill production restrictions, there may be a short - term mismatch between steel supply and demand, and steel prices may drive up the prices of the black commodity sector. Iron ore prices are expected to show an oscillating trend [3][44]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Market Review - In July, iron ore futures were generally strong. They rose in the first and middle ten - days and adjusted at a high level in the last ten - days, with the center of gravity moving up. The main contract of iron ore rose from 708 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month to a high of 835 yuan/ton in the last ten - days, with a maximum increase of over 15%, and then fell back to 779 yuan/ton at the end of the month. The upward movement was dominated by macro - expectations, and the fundamental resilience provided support. In the last ten - days, the futures price corrected due to the revision of expectations [8]. - Spot prices also strengthened synchronously. The 62% Platts index rose 8.3% to $102.6, and the spot price of PB fines rose 63 yuan to 764 yuan/wet ton. The spread between high - and low - grade ores rebounded. The spread between PB fines and Super Special fines increased from around 110 yuan/ton to around 125 yuan/ton [9]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis 3.2.1 Impact of August Production Restrictions - In July, steel mills maintained high production intensity. The blast furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills was 83.4%, a slight decrease of 0.3 percentage points month - on - month but an increase of 1.1 percentage points year - on - year. The capacity utilization rate was 90.24%, at a high level for the year. The daily average molten iron production was over 2.4 million tons, an increase of 26,000 tons year - on - year. The steel mill profitability rate reached 63.64%, a significant increase year - on - year. The market began to trade on the expectations of September military parade production restrictions and flat control of crude steel output, with a greater impact on far - month contracts [14]. - Overseas, iron ore demand was weak, mainly affected by the slowdown in global economic growth. The crude steel production of major iron ore importing countries declined significantly. From January to June, Japan's cumulative crude steel production was 40.55 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 5.03%; South Korea's was 30.47 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 3.3%; and Germany's was 17.21 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 10.8% [15]. 3.2.2 Supply: Stable Overseas Shipments - In the first six months of this year, China's iron ore imports decreased year - on - year. From January to June, China imported 592.2 million tons of iron ore, a 3% year - on - year decrease. In July, the total iron ore shipments decreased seasonally but remained at a relatively high level. The weekly average shipments from Australia and Brazil were 22.63 million tons, a decrease of 2.97 million tons month - on - month. Shipments in August are expected to be stable [17]. - The arrival volume in July decreased and was at the median level in the same period of the past three years. The daily average arrival volume was 3.66 million tons, a decrease of 50,000 tons month - on - month but an increase of 120,000 tons year - on - year. The arrival volume in August is expected to decrease month - on - month [18]. 3.2.3 Iron Ore Port Inventory - In July, the total iron ore inventory at 45 ports decreased month - on - month and was lower than the level of the same period last year. As of early August, the total inventory at 45 ports was 136.58 million tons, a decrease of 2.2 million tons compared with the beginning of last month and a decrease of 14.32 million tons compared with the same period last year. In August, attention should be paid to production restriction policies and the arrival rhythm. If molten iron production declines, inventory may start to accumulate [23]. 3.2.4 Steel Mill Inventory Situation - As of early August, the total inventory of imported iron ore at steel mills was 90.12 million tons, an increase of 930,000 tons month - on - month. The daily consumption of imported ore was 2.995 million tons, a decrease of 13,500 tons compared with the beginning of last month. The inventory - to - consumption ratio was 30.09, an increase of 0.44 month - on - month. The expectation of August military parade production restrictions may suppress the procurement enthusiasm [36]. 3.2.5 Domestic Mine Production Situation - In July, the production of domestic mines continued to contract. The national iron concentrate production was about 20.85 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of about 1.3%. The production reduction trend may continue in the medium and long term due to the peak of crude steel production and safety policies [37]. 3.2.6 Shipping Freight Situation - In July, the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) rose, mainly driven by the increase in China's demand for bulk commodity imports and the peak season of Brazil's grain exports. As of August 4, the BDI index was reported at 1970 points, a month - on - month increase of 37%. The shipping freight rates for some key routes also increased [40]. 3.3 Market Outlook - The demand side will see strong demand in the first and middle ten - days of the next month, but molten iron production will be under pressure in the last ten - days when production restrictions are implemented. The supply side will have stable shipments in August. Iron ore prices are expected to oscillate [43][44].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Macroeconomic factors: The China-US trade negotiation has been postponed. China's anti-involution and stable growth policies have significantly boosted the sentiment in the industrial product market. In July, China's manufacturing PMI decreased seasonally, and the decline in industrial enterprise profits narrowed. The Ministry of Finance emphasized increasing fiscal counter-cyclical adjustment, supporting traditional industry transformation and the growth of emerging industries, promoting consumption, and expanding domestic demand [3]. - Supply side: The operating rate in Xinjiang dropped below 50%, and the output growth in Sichuan and Yunnan during the wet season was limited. The supply side showed a passive contraction, with social inventory declining from a high level and warehouse receipt inventory decreasing due to the monthly decline in domestic production [3][56]. - Demand side: The spot price of polysilicon rebounded significantly, but a large increase in production volume was expected. Silicon wafers could not cover the high costs, but battery orders were good due to export tax rebates, driving consumption. However, battery prices had limited upward space due to the drag of centralized demand. Component markets had high quotes but low transactions because of the weak demand for domestic distributed projects. In traditional industries, silicone monomer enterprises were reluctant to lower prices, but the cost support in the future would weaken. The aluminum alloy production remained stable due to continuous orders from the automotive sector. Overall, industrial silicon was expected to maintain a pattern of weak supply and demand in August [3][57]. - Market outlook: The futures price of industrial silicon was expected to enter a pattern of volatile rebound [3][57]. 3.

Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overseas "rate - cut trading" is heating up, with the probability of a Fed rate cut in September reaching 94%. The dollar index has fallen, and the prices of gold, silver, and copper have rebounded, while OPEC+ production increases have pressured oil prices down. In China, the economy is in a weak recovery, the A - share market has risen with reduced trading volume, and the bond market has shown differentiation. The equity market may fluctuate and consolidate, and attention should be paid to bond market opportunities [2][3]. - The prices of precious metals, copper, and nickel are supported by the expectation of Fed rate cuts; the prices of aluminum, lead, tin, and industrial silicon face downward pressure due to factors such as inventory increases and weak demand; the price of lithium carbonate is in a state of multi - factor entanglement and fluctuates; the price of crude oil is affected by geopolitical factors and may fluctuate; the prices of steel products and iron ore are expected to fluctuate; the prices of soybean meal and rapeseed meal may fluctuate upward, and the price of palm oil may fluctuate and adjust [4][6][8][11][13][15][16][19][21][22][23][25] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Main Variety Views Macro - Overseas: Fed official Daly signaled a dovish stance. The probability of a Fed rate cut in September reached 94%, and the market expected three rate cuts this year. The dollar index fell to 98.6, the 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield dropped to 4.18%, and the U.S. stock market rebounded nearly 2%. The prices of gold, silver, and copper rebounded, while oil prices fell due to OPEC+ production increases. The reciprocal tariff 2.0 game is in the second half [2]. - Domestic: The economy is in a weak recovery. The A - share market rose with reduced trading volume, and the bond market showed differentiation. The equity market may fluctuate and consolidate, and attention should be paid to bond market opportunities [3]. Precious Metals - After the U.S. non - farm payrolls data was far lower than expected, the market's expectation of a Fed rate cut in September soared, boosting precious metal prices. Trump's tariff increase measures also increased inflation expectations and risk aversion, further boosting the price of gold. The short - term focus is on the resistance of the international gold price at $3450 per ounce, and the silver price may rebound more strongly after a significant correction [4][5]. Copper - Fed official Daly's dovish remarks and Trump's possible appointment of new Fed officials have increased the expectation of rate cuts, boosting market risk appetite and weakening the dollar index, which is beneficial to the metal market. The Skouries copper - gold project in Greece is expected to start production in early 2026, with an annual copper output of about 30,000 tons. It is expected that the Shanghai copper price will enter a rebound rhythm [6][7]. Aluminum - The EU will suspend tariff counter - measures against the U.S. for 6 months. Trump adjusted the tariff rates, and the average U.S. tariff reached 18.3%. The social inventory of aluminum continued to increase this week, and the spot market transaction premium continued to decline slightly. Macro and fundamental pressures have increased, and the aluminum price is expected to adjust [8]. Alumina - The futures price of alumina rose slightly. The futures spread structure is conducive to long - position roll - over, and the liquidity risk has decreased. The fundamental situation shows that the warehouse receipt inventory has not increased, the spot price is firm, and consumption is stable. It is expected that the alumina price will fluctuate [9]. Zinc - The EU's suspension of trade counter - measures against the U.S. and the market's expectation of a Fed rate cut in September have improved market risk appetite, and the zinc price has moved up slightly. However, the inventory continues to increase slightly, and the supply - demand pattern of increasing supply and weak demand remains unchanged. It is expected that the zinc price will fluctuate narrowly [10]. Lead - The lead price has fallen significantly, and the downstream consumption improvement is insufficient. The supply of primary lead and recycled lead is expected to recover, and the lead price will maintain a weak - side shock [11]. Tin - The operating rate of refined tin smelting enterprises has recovered, but the supply of tin ore and waste tin is still tight, and the downstream demand is weak. The social inventory has risen above 10,000 tons. It is expected that the tin price will fluctuate narrowly in the short term [13]. Industrial Silicon - The main contract of industrial silicon continued to decline. The supply is still shrinking, and the demand in the photovoltaic market is weak. The social inventory has increased, and the spot market price has been pressured. It is expected that the futures price will continue to adjust in the short term [14][15]. Lithium Carbonate - The futures price of lithium carbonate fluctuated weakly. The supply side was affected by the suspension of a lithium mine project in Nigeria and the successful commissioning of a lithium carbonate project in Sichuan. The policy is in a state of correction, and the market fundamentals are still weak. It is expected that the lithium price will fluctuate [16][17]. Nickel - The market's expectation of a Fed rate cut has increased, and the dollar index has fallen, pushing up the nickel price. The price of nickel ore is firm, and the price of Indonesian nickel iron has increased, but the cost pressure remains. The spot trading of pure nickel is okay. It is expected that the nickel price will continue to fluctuate under the influence of repeated macro - expectations [18]. Crude Oil - U.S. economic data is lower than expected, increasing the expectation of Fed rate cuts. Geopolitical factors focus on U.S. sanctions against Russia, with the deadline on August 8th. If sanctions are implemented, oil prices may rise; otherwise, they may give back previous gains. In the short term, the oil market outlook is unclear, and it is advisable to wait and see [19]. Steel Products - The futures prices of steel products fluctuated. The fifth round of coke price increases was fully implemented. The production of five major steel products remained stable, the apparent demand weakened significantly, and the inventory increased significantly. With the approaching of the military parade production restrictions in the north in mid - August, the supply contraction expectation is increasing. It is expected that the futures price will maintain a fluctuating trend [20][21]. Iron Ore - The futures price of iron ore fluctuated and rebounded. Overseas shipments decreased this week, while arrivals increased, and supply remained stable. The daily average pig iron production of steel mills decreased slightly but remained above 2.4 million tons. It is expected that the iron ore price will mainly fluctuate in the short term [22]. Soybean and Rapeseed Meal - The good - to - excellent rate of U.S. soybeans is 69%, at a relatively high level in the same period. The future precipitation in the U.S. soybean - producing areas is slightly lower than the average, with limited short - term impact. The domestic soybean purchase rhythm in the fourth quarter is slow, and the tight supply expectation may intensify. In the short term, the Dalian soybean meal may fluctuate upward [23][24]. Palm Oil - The market expects the inventory of Malaysian palm oil to increase in July. India's palm oil imports in July decreased, while soybean oil imports increased. The domestic palm oil inventory decreased slightly. In the short term, the palm oil price may fluctuate and adjust [25][27] 2.
