Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an industry investment rating. 2) Core View of the Report The impact of policy expectations on the polycrystalline silicon market currently outweighs the fundamental reality. However, as some policy nodes for capacity integration have passed without definite implementation, and there are still obstacles in price transmission at the terminal, a phased re - game between expectations and reality may begin. In the short term, prices are constrained by high inventory and weak demand, while in the medium term, the situation depends on the implementation of capacity integration policies [1][5][20]. 3) Summary by Relevant Sections Policy Expectations - **Energy Consumption Standards**: On September 16, 2025, the National Standardization Administration Committee issued the "Energy Consumption Quotas per Unit Product of Polysilicon and Germanium (Draft for Comment)", marking the substantial strengthening of energy consumption supervision. The new standard tightens the upper limit of the comprehensive energy consumption of rod - shaped silicon from the current 10.5 kgce/kg to 6.4 kgce/kg, and the comprehensive energy consumption standard for granular silicon is 3.6 - 5.0 kgce/kg. After the adjustment of the existing capacity structure, China's effective polysilicon capacity will drop to about 2.4 million tons/year, a decrease of 16.4% compared to the end of 2024 and 31.4% compared to the installed capacity. But the policy is still in the comment - soliciting stage, and its short - term impact on capacity is limited [6]. - **Capacity Integration**: Although listed silicon material companies have planned to use funds for supply - side reform and capacity adjustment, the "capacity integration policy" has not been clearly issued. In the short term, it is not enough to change the supply - demand pattern, and its marginal effect is weakening [10][13]. Industry Reality - **Price Transmission and Demand**: In September, the spot price of polysilicon continued to rise, and the basis changed from the futures premium to the spot premium. The profit of silicon material producers has improved, but the price increase at the downstream terminal component level is not smooth due to weak domestic demand and overseas order adjustments. From January to August 2025, the newly - added domestic photovoltaic installed capacity increased by 65% year - on - year, but in August, it decreased by 55% year - on - year [14]. - **Supply - Demand Balance in October**: In October, the supply of polysilicon is expected to increase as some enterprises in Qinghai resume production and new capacity ramps up, while downstream silicon wafer production may decrease due to quota restrictions. The inventory pressure remains, and the total industry inventory is estimated to be about 450,000 tons [15]. Registered Warehouse Receipts In the fourth quarter, the polysilicon futures market faces the pressure of concentrated warehouse receipt cancellation and delivery. According to the rules of the Guangzhou Futures Exchange, at least 20,000 tons of warehouse receipts will be affected by cancellation, putting pressure on the price of the 2511 contract [19]. Short - Term and Medium - Term Outlook - **Short - Term**: In the short term, the polysilicon futures price is expected to be weak in October due to warehouse receipt cancellation, inventory backlog, and lower downstream production. The support level for the 2511 contract is estimated at 48,000 yuan/ton [20]. - **Medium - Term**: In the medium term, the report is not overly pessimistic about the capacity integration policy but remains patient about its implementation method and time, regarding short - term price fluctuations as technical corrections [20].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - OPEC shows a hesitant attitude with a slightly stronger willingness to support prices than to expand market share, and the slight increase plan will continue to suppress the upside space of oil prices. Crude oil is expected to remain volatile in the short term [1]. - The fundamentals of methanol have marginally improved, and the downside space is expected to be relatively limited. It is recommended to focus on short - long opportunities on dips [3]. - Urea is currently in a situation of low valuation and weak drivers. With no effective positive factors in reality, it is suggested to focus on going long on dips at low prices [5]. - For rubber, the medium - term view is bullish, but it has broken down in the short term.

In the short term, the valuation has declined to a low level, and it is recommended to focus on short - selling opportunities on rallies in the medium term [14]. - The spot and futures prices of pure benzene and styrene are falling, and the basis is weakening. The BZN spread has a large upward repair space, and the price of styrene may stop falling when the downstream starts to rise and the port inventory is depleted [17]. - The price of polyethylene may oscillate upward in the long term as the long - term contradiction shifts from cost - driven decline to the Korean ethylene clearance policy. In the short term, it may gap down at the opening [20]. - For polypropylene, there is a large supply pressure, and the downstream start - up rate rebounds seasonally at a low level. There is no prominent short - term contradiction, and the high number of warehouse receipts suppresses the price [23]. - For PX, the current load is high, and the expected inventory accumulation period continues. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [26]. - For PTA, the supply - side unexpected maintenance volume is still high, and the inventory depletion pattern continues. However, the processing fee space is limited. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [27]. - For ethylene glycol, the domestic supply is high, and the port inventory is expected to be low in the short term but will turn to inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter. It is recommended to short on rallies under the weak outlook, but beware of the risk of the weak expectation not being realized [29].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - During the National Day holiday, the actual demand for steel continued to be weak, but with the macro - environment turning more accommodative, market expectations for the recovery of steel demand are rising. In the short term, the pattern of weak reality is hard to reverse, and as the Fourth Plenary Session approaches, the market may enter a stage of "strong expectation, weak reality" again. Steel prices still face some downward risks from the fundamental perspective, and policy signals and the dynamics related to the Fourth Plenary Session need to be closely monitored [2]. - For the black sector, in the current demand and supply environment, prices may first decline to release the bearish sentiment in the market, and then rise with the expectations of the "Fourth Plenary Session". Although the current profit rate of steel mills is better than in 2023, the black sector may gradually become more cost - effective for long - positions in the future, and it may be better to look for long - entry opportunities after price corrections around mid - October [8].

In terms of demand, the average daily pig iron output announced before the holiday was 2.4181 million tons, a decrease of 0.055 million tons month - on - month. If the situation of finished products weakens after the holiday, iron ore prices may adjust downward [5]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Information - On September 30, the manganese silicon main contract (SM601) closed down 1.07% at 5758 yuan/ton. The spot price of 6517 manganese silicon in Tianjin was 5700 yuan/ton, equivalent to 5890 yuan/ton on the futures basis, down 100 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a premium of 132 yuan/ton over the futures. The ferrosilicon main contract (SF511) closed down 2.07% at 5494 yuan/ton. The spot price of 72 ferrosilicon in Tianjin was 5700 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a premium of 206 yuan/ton over the futures [7]. Strategy Viewpoints - Affected by short - term realistic demand, the black sector has a downward correction risk, especially around the National Day holiday. The high pig iron output above 2.4 million tons puts pressure on prices. The price trend may be similar to that around the National Day holiday in 2023, first falling and then rising with the expectations of the "Fourth Plenary Session". For manganese silicon, its fundamentals are not ideal, but if the black sector strengthens, attention should be paid to potential disturbances in the manganese ore segment. Ferrosilicon is likely to follow the black sector's trend, with relatively low trading cost - effectiveness [8][9]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Information - On September 30, the industrial silicon futures main contract (SI2511) closed at 8640 yuan/ton, up 0.35% (+ 30).

The weighted contract's open interest changed by - 2957 lots to 226,349 lots. The average spot price of N - type granular silicon was 50.5 yuan/kg, unchanged; the average price of N - type dense material was 51.05 yuan/kg, unchanged; the average price of N - type re - feeding material was 52.55 yuan/kg, unchanged, with a basis of 1190 yuan/ton for the main contract [14]. Strategy Viewpoints - For industrial silicon, its supply and demand have not changed significantly. Although there is an expectation of production cuts during the dry season, the start - up rate of large northwest plants has not yet peaked, and downstream demand has limited upward space. If production cuts occur in the southwest during the dry season and downstream demand remains stable, the high - level inventory may be reduced, and the valuation of far - month contracts may increase. For polysilicon, the current market lacks upward drivers, and there is a risk of short - term price decline. Attention should be paid to the maintenance of leading enterprises and policy changes [12][15]. Glass and Soda Ash Market Information - On the Tuesday before the holiday at 15:00, the glass main contract closed at 1210 yuan/ton, down 1.47% (- 18).

Strategy Viewpoints - The glass futures market showed a wide - range shock pattern before the holiday. Terminal demand was weak, and downstream procurement was cautious. Supply was relatively abundant, and inventory performance varied by region. It is recommended to pay attention to policy trends and take a slightly bullish view in the short term. The domestic soda ash market was generally stable with minor fluctuations. Production was stable, and demand was flat. The market is expected to continue the shock - consolidation pattern in the short term [18][20].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - In the context of significant setbacks to the US dollar's credit and the maintained expectation of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts, a medium - term bullish view on precious metals should be maintained. Although the current prices of foreign - market gold and silver are at relatively high levels and there is a risk of short - term price corrections, price pullbacks present good entry opportunities for long positions. The reference operating range for the main contract of Shanghai gold is 867 - 950 yuan/gram, and for the main contract of Shanghai silver is 10646 - 11600 yuan/kilogram [3] Summary by Related Catalogs Market Information - In the morning session, COMEX gold fell 0.80% to $4037.70 per ounce, and COMEX silver fell 1.57% to $48.23 per ounce. The US 10 - year Treasury yield was 4.13%, and the US dollar index was 98.83. During the National Day holiday, multiple overseas risk events occurred, further impacting the US dollar's credit, leading to a trend of rising precious metal prices. The US government is facing a "shutdown" crisis due to budget constraints, and the non - farm payrolls and unemployment rate data originally scheduled for release last Friday were not released on time, which further impacted the US dollar's credit and was the main reason for the breakthrough rise in gold prices. The Fed meeting minutes released early today showed that Fed officials have greater differences regarding the subsequent interest rate path, and most officials believe that further easing policies are appropriate this year. Although many Fed officials think the US labor market will not continue to weaken, the weakening of the labor market cannot be disproven due to the lack of non - farm and unemployment rate data, and the market still expects further interest rate cuts by the Fed [2] Strategy Views - Maintain a medium - term bullish view on precious metals. There is a short - term risk of price corrections in gold and silver. Price pullbacks are good opportunities to enter long positions. The reference operating range for the main contract of Shanghai gold is 867 - 950 yuan/gram, and for the main contract of Shanghai silver is 10646 - 11600 yuan/kilogram [3] Key Data - **Gold**: The closing price of COMEX gold (active contract) was $4060.60 per ounce, up 1.31% from the previous day; the trading volume was 334,200 lots, up 15.87%; the open interest was 528,800 lots, up 2.43%; the inventory was 1247 tons, down 0.12%.
