Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2) Core View of the Report The report concludes that the rebound of industrial products in June 2025 can be attributed to three main factors: the seasonal bullish trend of coal (a major contradiction in this year's commodity market) from June to September, the significantly low valuation of commodities in June offering good cost - effectiveness for capital entry, and the improving sentiment in the capital and commodity markets. The accidental events in July provided strong impetus for the upward rebound. The overall rebound could be anticipated to some extent, but the magnitude of the rebound was a combination of market volatility and accidental events, which was unpredictable [1][31][32]. 3) Summary by Related Sections Market Review - The price of commodities showed a clear divide around June 3, 2025. Before June 3, prices continued the downward trend since 2024, while after that date, the sentiment improved and prices started to rise, officially breaking away from the downward trend on the week of July 21 [4]. - Most industrial products, excluding some strong - macro and oil - related products, had their price inflection points in June [4]. Role of Coal in the Market - Coal, especially coking coal, has been a major contradiction and a main line in the commodity market since October 2024. It is either the direct upstream raw material or a major cost component for other sample products [13][14]. - The market has traded two main themes this year: "excess" or "deflation" trading and "anti - involution" sentiment - driven supply - side 2.0 expected trading. The market was dominated by sentiment and capital behavior from late April to early June [14]. - From June to September, coal has a seasonal bullish characteristic. June is the safety production month, and July - September is the traditional demand peak season. There are potential marginal changes in supply contraction and demand expansion during this period [15][19]. Reasons for the June Rebound - Coal's seasonal bullish trend from June to September provides market expectations and a narrative basis [1][31]. - In June, the overall commodity valuation reached a significantly low level, offering good cost - effectiveness for capital to enter the market. For example, coking coal had a high cost - effectiveness ratio of 4:1 or 5:1 [27][28][31]. - The improving sentiment in the capital and commodity markets in late June provided a good environment for the rebound. The accidental events in July, such as the "anti - involution" policy, further boosted the upward trend [31]. Trading Suggestions and Lessons - Based on the above reasons, a suggestion to close short positions profitably in June could be made. However, large - scale long - position entry should be considered after the "anti - involution" policy on July 1 [37]. - Many short - position holders increased their positions instead of closing them, resulting in huge losses and even forced liquidation. They failed to recognize the objective development of the market [38].

Factory inventories were 306,000 tons (- 21,000), and social inventories were 853,000 tons (+ 41,000). The comprehensive enterprise profit is at a high level this year, with high valuation pressure, low maintenance volume, and high production. Downstream domestic start - up is at a five - year low, and export expectations are weak after the determination of India's anti - dumping tax rate. The cost side has weak support [17] Benzene - Ethylene - The spot and futures prices of benzene - ethylene fell, and the basis weakened. The Shanghai Composite Index pulled back, and the futures price followed. The BZN spread is at a relatively low level in the same period, with large upward repair potential. The cost - side pure benzene start - up rate oscillated moderately, and the supply was still abundant. The supply - side ethylbenzene dehydrogenation profit decreased, but the benzene - ethylene start - up rate continued to rise. The port inventory of benzene - ethylene continued to accumulate significantly. At the end of the seasonal off - season, the overall start - up rate of three S oscillated and increased [19][20] Polyolefins Polyethylene - The futures price of polyethylene fell. The market expects favorable policies from the Chinese Ministry of Finance in the third quarter, and the cost side provides support.

The seasonal peak season may be coming, and the raw material procurement for agricultural films has started. The overall start - up rate has stabilized at a low - level oscillation [22] Polypropylene - The futures price of polypropylene fell. The integrated plant of CNOOC Daxie Petrochemical was put into operation, and the propylene supply has returned marginally. The downstream start - up rate oscillated at a low level. There are only 450,000 tons of planned production capacity to be put into operation in August.

Some domestic PTA plants had changes such as load reduction, restart, and new production. The PX load remains high, and the downstream PTA has many unexpected short - term maintenance, with a low overall load center. However, due to the new PTA plant put into operation, PX is expected to maintain low inventory, and the valuation has support at the bottom [25] PTA - The PTA01 contract fell 46 yuan to 4824 yuan, and the East China spot price fell 35 yuan/ton to 4835 yuan. The PTA load was 72.9%, a 3.5% decrease. Some plants had load changes. The downstream load was 90%, a 0.6% increase. Terminal load also increased.

The ethylene glycol load was 73.2%, a 6.2% increase. Some domestic and overseas plants had start - up or load - change operations. The downstream load was 90%, a 0.6% increase. Terminal load also increased. The import arrival forecast was 54,000 tons, and the East China departure on August 26 was 12,000 tons. The port inventory was 500,000 tons, a 47,000 - ton decrease. The cost - side ethylene price rose, and the coal price fell. The industry fundamentals show that overseas and domestic maintenance plants are starting up, and downstream start - up is recovering from the off - season, but the supply is still in excess. The port inventory is expected to enter an accumulation cycle in the medium - term, and the valuation is relatively high year - on - year, with downward pressure in the medium - term [29]

Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market cooled yesterday, and the prices of finished steel products declined slightly.

It is recommended to continuously track the progress of terminal demand recovery and the support of the cost side for the prices of finished steel products [3]. - The supply of iron ore is in the traditional shipping off - season of overseas mines, and the pressure is not significant. The profitability of steel mills continues to decline, and the firm raw material prices have a certain impact on steel mill profits. The short - term increase in hot metal may be limited. The overall supply - demand contradiction of iron ore is not prominent for the time being, and the price is expected to fluctuate in the short term [6]. - The prices of ferroalloys have dropped rapidly, and the market is affected by emotions.
