1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - This week, aluminum prices fluctuated within a narrow range, with the main contract of Shanghai Aluminum slightly declining throughout the week, and the spot market showing marginal improvement. Looking ahead, the marginal deterioration of the trade situation will suppress market sentiment, while the high probability of interest rate cuts provides emotional support. From an industrial perspective, the operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum is stable, with limited marginal increase in supply. On the demand side, the operating rate of downstream processing leading enterprises has increased, and the continuous rise in the processing fee of aluminum rods is conducive to the reduction of aluminum ingot inventory, providing strong support for the downside of aluminum prices.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - Industrial silicon is expected to remain volatile in the short term, with attention paid to whether the supply - demand structure improves after the holiday. If southwest regions cut production during the dry season and downstream demand remains stable, the high - level inventory may decline, and the far - month contract valuation may rise. However, price maintenance requires real - data confirmation. Also, the potential price improvement from the "anti - involution" policy remains uncertain [16]. - Polysilicon prices may experience a short - term phased decline. After a long - term policy narrative, the upward drive is insufficient without unexpected news. If the fourth - quarter production rate remains the same, there will be real - end pressure.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The domestic PVC market is currently in a situation of strong supply and weak demand. The export outlook is weakening, and domestic demand is flat, making it difficult to reverse the pattern of oversupply. The fundamentals are poor, and the short - term valuation has declined to a low level with limited downward space in the short term. In the medium term, attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities on rallies [11]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Cost and Profit**: The price of Wuhai calcium carbide is 2,600 yuan/ton, unchanged week - on - week; the price of Shandong calcium carbide is 2,890 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton week - on - week; the price of medium - grade semi - coke in Shaanxi is 730 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton week - on - week. The comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali integration continues to decline, while the profit of ethylene - based production shows a slight improvement, and the current valuation is moderately low [11]. - **Supply**: The PVC capacity utilization rate is 79%, up 2% month - on - month. Among them, the calcium carbide method is 79.3%, up 2.4% month - on - month; the ethylene method is 78.1%, up 1% month - on - month. The supply load increased last week, mainly due to the increased loads of Haohua, Jinchuan, Zhenyang, and Yinlite. It is expected to further recover next week. Although the overall maintenance volume increased in September, there were multiple new device commissionings, so the supply pressure remains high [11]. - **Demand**: In terms of exports, the final anti - dumping duty ruling in India has been announced, and China's tax rate is at a significant disadvantage compared to other countries. Once implemented, exports are expected to decline. The operating rates of the three major downstream industries decreased last week. The pipe load is 40.4%, up 1.3% month - on - month; the film load is 63.9%, down 13% month - on - month; the profile load is 38.9%, down 0.5% month - on - month. The overall downstream load is 47.8%, down 1.5% month - on - month, indicating weak overall downstream operations. The pre - sales volume of PVC last week was 759,000 tons, up 3,000 tons month - on - month [11]. - **Inventory**: Last week, the factory inventory was 318,000 tons, up 12,000 tons month - on - month; the social inventory was 971,000 tons, up 18,000 tons month - on - month; the overall inventory was 1.29 million tons, up 29,000 tons month - on - month; the number of warehouse receipts stabilized.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The primary driver of the current rise in platinum - group metal prices is the expectation of the Fed's loose monetary policy. Although Fed Chairman Powell's stance in this month's interest - rate meeting was more hawkish than market expectations, the new Fed chair candidates in 2026 are in favor of further easing.

The inventory of platinum - group metals in the US continues to accumulate, and the one - month implied lease rate of platinum has rebounded.
