Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The long - term upward logic of steel prices remains unchanged under the background of a gradually loosening macro - environment, but the real demand for steel is still weak in the short term and is difficult to improve substantially. Attention should be paid to the impact of Sino - US talks and overseas macro - environment changes on market sentiment [2]. - The iron ore market is currently weak in reality, with the overall market in a tug - of - war situation, and the ore price will fluctuate [5]. - For the black sector, it is still not pessimistic. It is considered more cost - effective to look for callback positions to do rebounds rather than continue to short. The subsequent height after the rebound needs further observation [9]. - Industrial silicon is subject to real - world constraints and is likely to fluctuate with the commodity environment, with short - term consolidation [13]. - The supply - demand pattern of polysilicon may improve, but the short - term de - stocking amplitude is expected to be limited. Pay attention to the actual implementation of relevant news [15]. - The glass futures price is expected to maintain a wide - range volatile trend in the short term due to the interweaving of long and short factors [18]. - The soda ash price is expected to continue the narrow - range consolidation pattern in the short term, and attention should be paid to changes in device operation and downstream procurement rhythm [20]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Market Information - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3091 yuan/ton, down 9 yuan/ton (- 0.29%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts decreased by 3058 tons, and the main contract positions decreased by 22644 lots. The Tianjin and Shanghai spot prices increased by 10 yuan/ton [1]. - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3305 yuan/ton, up 6 yuan/ton (0.181%) from the previous trading day.

Strategy Viewpoints - The supply and demand of rebar both increased, and the inventory continued to decline, showing a neutral performance. The output of hot - rolled coils slightly decreased, the demand improved marginally, the inventory was still at a high level, but the de - stocking process accelerated, and the inventory contradiction was slightly alleviated. The profitability of steel mills has significantly declined recently, and the molten iron output has significantly decreased, reducing the supply - side pressure [2]. Iron Ore Market Information - The main contract of iron ore (I2601) closed at 792.50 yuan/ton, with a change of + 0.76% (+ 6.00), and the positions changed by - 9902 lots to 54.89 million lots.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a long - term investment rating of "opportunistic long - position allocation" for rubber [1] Core Viewpoints of the Report - The rubber price is likely to rise rather than fall in the fourth quarter. After the price decline has released some risks, investors can wait for a suitable upward - driving factor and opportunistically set up long positions [2][29] Summaries Based on Relevant Catalogs 1. Supply and Demand Analysis of the Rubber Industry - Supply: Cote d'Ivoire and Thailand are expected to increase rubber production by 200,000 - 300,000 tons. Currently, port inventories continue to decline, and inventory accumulation is not obvious [2][29] - Demand: The transportation demand from the real estate and infrastructure sectors is weak [2][29] 2. Farmers' Crop Choices in Different Regions Cote d'Ivoire Farmers' Choice between Cocoa and Rubber - Economic Feasibility: Cocoa has a shorter return cycle (3 - 4 years) but unstable income due to price fluctuations and yield decline. Rubber is a long - term investment (7 - year maturity), offering stable and regular cash flow after tapping [4][5] - Climate Conditions: Cocoa is more sensitive to climate change, while rubber is more resilient to drought and high - temperature [6] - Labor Input: Cocoa cultivation is relatively labor - flexible, while rubber tapping is highly specialized and labor - intensive [6] - Land Tenure: Clear and secure land tenure is necessary for farmers to invest in rubber [7] Indonesian and Malaysian Farmers' Choice between Rubber and Palm Oil - Economic Return: Palm oil generally has higher unit - area returns and a faster return cycle (2 - 3 years) compared to rubber (7 - year investment cycle). Palm oil prices are more volatile, while rubber has more stable downstream tire demand [12] - Labor Input: Rubber tapping is labor - intensive and requires skilled workers, while palm oil harvesting has lower labor intensity and is more semi - mechanized [13] - Planting Conditions: Both are suitable for tropical rain - forest climates, but palm oil has more demanding requirements for sunlight, precipitation, and terrain. Rubber can grow on more barren land [14] - Policy: Governments in Indonesia and Malaysia have promoted palm oil planting through subsidies and policies like biodiesel mandates. The total planting area of palm oil has changed little, while the rubber tapping area has decreased significantly [15][17] 3. Reflection on Classic Mistakes in Supply Prediction - The analysis assumed that farmers' rubber - production decisions are profit - maximized, but in reality, factors like rainy - season transportation difficulties lead to an increase in standard - grade rubber production rather than high - value rubber, contrary to the initial analysis [18][19] 4. Impact of EUDR on the Rubber Industry - EUDR Origin and Requirements: It originated from the EU's Green Deal in 2019. It requires companies to conduct due diligence on product origin and compliance. Non - compliance may result in penalties [21] - Implementation Process: It officially took effect in 2023 with an initial 18 - month transition period. The compliance date has been postponed multiple times. The latest plan is that large and medium - sized enterprises will be enforced from December 30, 2025 (extendable to the end of June 2026), and micro and small enterprises until December 2026. The postponement is seen as a short - term demand negative, while the confirmation of the implementation time is a marginal positive but with limited expected impact [22][23][25] 5. Rubber Demand Increment from Ukraine's Reconstruction - Reconstruction Cost: The cost of Ukraine's reconstruction in the next decade is estimated to be $524 billion, with high - cost items including housing, transportation, energy, etc. [26] - Rubber Demand: Based on investment - driven heavy - truck demand and tire - replacement assumptions, the total natural rubber demand for heavy - trucks and construction machinery is estimated to be 59,700 - 95,500 tons in the first year, 59,700 - 95,500 tons in the second year, and 39,800 - 63,700 tons in the third year [27][28] 6. Macroeconomic Factors Affecting Rubber Prices - Negative Factors: US tariff - adding events in April and September and the EU's anti - dumping and countervailing measures on Chinese tires have put downward pressure on rubber prices [29] - Positive Factors: There are always positive expectations from Chinese policies [29]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - After a significant upward trend, the prices of gold and silver have notably corrected. However, considering the three main fundamental drivers of overseas geopolitical risks, the weakening of the US dollar's credit, and the start of the Federal Reserve's interest - rate cut cycle, the current price decline is more of a "correction within an upward trend" rather than a "trend reversal." Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a long - position mindset and allocate long positions in precious metals on dips. The reference operating range for the main contract of Shanghai gold is 880 - 966 yuan/gram, and for the main contract of Shanghai silver is 10937 - 11690 yuan/kilogram [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Content Market Quotes - Shanghai gold dropped 1.18% to 905.06 yuan/gram, and Shanghai silver rose 0.49% to 11180.00 yuan/kilogram. COMEX gold was reported at 3954.10 US dollars/ounce, and COMEX silver at 47.04 US dollars/ounce. The yield of the 10 - year US Treasury bond was 3.99%, and the US dollar index was 98.74. The Federal Reserve will hold an October interest - rate meeting early tomorrow. Amid the current easing of US inflation data and the lack of labor - market data, the market has almost fully priced in a 25 - basis - point interest - rate cut by the Fed in this meeting [1] Central Bank Gold Reserves - The former governor of the Philippine central bank stated that the central bank's gold reserves were excessive, accounting for 13% of its total central - bank reserves. He also mentioned that the central bank was debating whether to increase gold holdings or take profit. After the news was announced, the gold price dropped significantly, and the international silver price was weak. The views of the Philippine central bank do not represent the general trend of central - bank gold purchases. The global central - bank gold - buying is aimed at hedging against the US - dollar credit. The South Korean central - bank officials said they would consider increasing gold holdings from a long - term perspective, and before that, South Korea's central - bank gold reserves had remained unchanged for 12 consecutive years [2] Key Data of Gold and Silver - For gold on October 28, 2025, compared with the previous day: COMEX gold's closing price (active contract) decreased by 0.72% to 3968.10 US dollars/ounce, trading volume increased by 1.94% to 33.06 million lots, and open interest increased by 2.43% to 52.88 million lots; LBMA gold's closing price decreased by 0.56% to 3948.50 US dollars/ounce; SHFE gold's closing price (active contract) decreased by 3.51% to 901.38 yuan/gram, trading volume increased by 24.38% to 64.34 million lots, and open interest decreased by 1.72% to 34.94 million lots; the closing price of AuT + D decreased by 3.61% to 896.69 yuan/gram, trading volume increased by 21.58% to 67.74 tons, and open interest increased by 0.36% to 258.77 tons - For silver on October 28, 2025, compared with the previous day: COMEX silver's closing price (active contract) increased by 0.66% to 47.14 US dollars/ounce, open interest increased by 1.75% to 16.58 million lots; LBMA silver's closing price decreased by 1.95% to 46.44 US dollars/ounce; SHFE silver's closing price (active contract) decreased by 3.03% to 11049.00 yuan/kilogram, trading volume increased by 35.58% to 176.07 million lots, and open interest decreased by 2.69% to 70.24 million lots; the closing price of AgT + D decreased by 3.08% to 10996.00 yuan/kilogram, trading volume increased by 17.10% to 765.42 tons, and open interest increased by 0.19% to 3717.77 tons [5]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - For soybeans and soybean meal, the global soybean supply is expected to remain loose. Although there are signals of China potentially importing US soybeans, the increase in US soybean prices may be offset by the decline in Brazilian premiums. The import cost will mainly fluctuate. With high domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories, the profit margin for oil extraction is under pressure. It is recommended to sell on rebounds [2][4]. - For palm oil, the higher - than - expected production in Malaysia and Indonesia has suppressed the market. The current high supply may lead to inventory accumulation, but this situation may reverse in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year. It is advisable to wait for clearer production signals and currently stay on the sidelines [5][7]. - For sugar, short - term import controls on syrups and pre - mixed powders have driven up Zhengzhou sugar prices. However, due to negative data on sugarcane crushing and sugar production in Brazil's central - southern region since September and expected increases in production in the Northern Hemisphere in the new season, the upward space for raw sugar is limited. It is recommended to look for short - selling opportunities after the rebound weakens [9][10]. - For cotton, the demand during the peak consumption season this year is weak, and the downstream industrial chain's operating rate has declined significantly compared to the same period in previous years. With the expectation of a bumper harvest in the new season, the selling - hedging pressure is high. Although the recent increase in new cotton purchase prices has driven up Zhengzhou cotton prices, the upward space is relatively limited in the short term [12][13]. - For eggs, the spot price still has a rebound expectation, but the space is limited due to high supply. The focus of the futures market is whether the spot price increase can cover the futures premium. Currently, it is in the traditional stocking season, and the spot price has limited downward space with a small upward expectation. It is recommended to stay on the sidelines and wait [15][17]. - For pigs, in the medium term, due to the high slaughter scale and expected future supply, pig prices are likely to be more likely to fall than to rise. In the short term, there is a short - term rebound, but the market may fluctuate. It is recommended to gradually establish reverse - spread positions during the rebound and short when approaching the pressure level [19][20]. Summaries by Related Catalogs Protein Meal Market Information - Overnight, CBOT soybeans rose as US officials said China would make large - scale purchases of US soybeans. On Monday, the domestic soybean meal spot price fell slightly by 20 yuan, with the price in East China at 2,890 yuan/ton. The trading volume of soybean meal was weak, but the pick - up was good. Last week, the inventory days of domestic feed enterprises increased by 0.03 days to 7.95 days. The soybean meal inventory of oil mills increased, while the soybean inventory decreased month - on - month. The total inventory was high and showed a slight de - stocking trend. MYSTEEL estimated that the soybean crushing volume of domestic oil mills this week would be 2.3392 million tons, compared with 2.3674 million tons last week [2]. - As of last Thursday, the sowing rate of soybeans in Brazil's 2025/26 season had reached 36% of the expected level, and the rainfall in the main planting areas was at a medium level. Frequent consultations on trade issues between China and the US are expected to be beneficial to US soybeans in the short term, but the international soybean supply is abundant, and the high premium in Brazil may decline, leading to a weakening import cost. Domestically, high soybean and soybean meal inventories mean that US soybean imports will slow down the de - stocking process and reduce the profit margin for oil extraction [2]. Strategy Views - In terms of import cost, the signal of China potentially importing US soybeans may be offset by the decline in Brazilian premiums, so the import cost will mainly fluctuate. With high domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories, the profit margin for oil extraction is under pressure. Given the loose global soybean supply, it is advisable to sell on rebounds [4]. Oil Market Information - According to ITS and AMSPEC data, Malaysia's palm oil exports from October 1 - 10 increased by 9.86% - 19.37% compared to the same period last month, 12.3% - 16.2% in the first 15 days, 3.4% in the first 20 days, and decreased by 0.4% in the first 25 days. SPPOMA data showed that Malaysia's palm oil production from October 1 - 15 increased by 6.86% month - on - month, 2.71% in the first 20 days, and 1.63% in the first 25 days [5]. - Brazil's National Association of Grain Exporters (ANEC) said that Brazil's soybean exports in October are expected to reach 7 million tons, down from the previous week's estimate of 7.34 million tons [5]. - Indonesia said that due to good weather, its palm oil production in 2025 may increase by 10%. On Tuesday, domestic oils fell. High palm oil production in Malaysia and Indonesia recently has suppressed the market. Indonesia's August production data still significantly exceeded previous years, weakening the expectation of tight supply in the first quarter of next year. There are also rumors that Indonesia may suspend the implementation of B50 in 2026. The domestic spot basis is stable at a low level [5]. Strategy Views - The higher - than - expected production of palm oil in Malaysia and Indonesia has suppressed the market. The current high - supply and inventory - accumulation situation may reverse in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year. If Indonesia's high production does not continue, the de - stocking time may come earlier. Otherwise, palm oil will remain weak. It is recommended to wait for clearer production signals and currently stay on the sidelines [7]. Sugar Market Information - On Tuesday, the Zhengzhou sugar futures price rebounded. The closing price of the January contract was 5,483 yuan/ton, up 38 yuan/ton or 0.7% from the previous trading day. In the spot market, Guangxi sugar - making groups quoted 5,660 - 5,760 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; Yunnan sugar - making groups quoted 5,600 - 5,640 yuan/ton, down 0 - 10 yuan/ton; processing sugar mills' mainstream quotes were in the range of 5,790 - 5,930 yuan/ton, down 0 - 30 yuan/ton. The basis between Guangxi spot and the Zhengzhou sugar main contract (sr2601) was 177 yuan/ton [9]. - On October 14, the General Administration of Customs announced regulations on the registration management of overseas production enterprises of imported food. The number of enterprises suspended from importing Thai syrups and pre - mixed powders has increased from 35 to 44, with only 16 being effective, and the scope of suspension has expanded from 1,702 items to 2,106 items [9]. Strategy Views - Short - term import controls on syrups and pre - mixed powders have driven up Zhengzhou sugar prices. However, due to negative data on sugarcane crushing and sugar production in Brazil's central - southern region since September and expected increases in production in the Northern Hemisphere in the new season, the upward space for raw sugar is limited, resulting in a large profit margin for out - of - quota imports. It is recommended to look for short - selling opportunities after the rebound weakens [10]. Cotton Market Information - On Tuesday, the Zhengzhou cotton futures price continued to fluctuate. The closing price of the January contract was 13,565 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day. In the spot market, the China Cotton Price Index (CCIndex) 3128B was 14,830 yuan/ton, down 3 yuan/ton from the previous day. The basis between the CCIndex 3128B and the Zhengzhou cotton main contract (CF2601) was 1,265 yuan/ton [12]. - On October 27, the purchase index of machine - picked cotton in Xinjiang was 6.30 yuan/kg, and that of hand - picked cotton was 7.06 yuan/kg, both unchanged from the previous day. As of the week of October 24, the operating rate of spinning mills was 65.6%, unchanged from the previous week, 7.4 percentage points lower than the same period last year, and 9.6 percentage points lower than the average of the past five years [12]. Strategy Views - Fundamentally, the demand during the peak consumption season this year is weak, and the downstream industrial chain's operating rate has declined significantly compared to the same period in previous years. With the expectation of a bumper harvest in the new season, the selling - hedging pressure is high. Although the recent increase in new cotton purchase prices has driven up Zhengzhou cotton prices, the upward space is relatively limited in the short term [13]. Eggs Market Information - The national egg price was mostly stable, with a few areas showing narrow - range adjustments. The average price in the main production areas dropped 0.01 yuan to 2.94 yuan/jin. The price in Heishan remained at 2.9 yuan/jin, and that in Guantao dropped 0.11 yuan to 2.67 yuan/jin. The supply was relatively stable, and farmers were actively selling. The market sales were average, and industry players generally followed the market. It is expected that the national egg price will mostly remain stable today, with a few areas showing weak adjustments [15][16]. Strategy Views - The spot price still has a rebound expectation, but the space is limited due to high supply. The focus of the futures market is whether the spot price increase can cover the futures premium. Currently, it is in the traditional stocking season, and the spot price has limited downward space with a small upward expectation. The futures market has high positions, and it is expected to remain at the bottom, but the upward space is not optimistic, and the trend may be volatile. It is recommended to stay on the sidelines [17]. Pigs Market Information - Yesterday, domestic pig prices continued to rise. The average price in Henan increased 0.23 yuan to 12.75 yuan/kg, that in Sichuan increased 0.35 yuan to 12.27 yuan/kg, and that in Guangxi increased 0.43 yuan to 12.18 yuan/kg. Some farmers in low - price areas may still have a tendency to hold back sales. Although pig prices continued to be strong, the downstream purchasing power was limited in some northern regions after the previous price increase. It is expected that prices will be stable today, with possible declines in some areas [19]. Strategy Views - Currently, the slaughter scale and the expected future supply are still high, and the decline in pig weight during the price drop was limited. In the medium term, with high supply pressure, pig prices are likely to be more likely to fall than to rise. In the short term, multiple factors have led to a rebound, and the supporting factors still exist. The futures market with high positions is prone to fluctuations. It is expected that there will be a short - term rebound. In the medium term, it is advisable to gradually establish reverse - spread positions during the rebound and short when approaching the pressure level [20].
