Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The steel demand has officially entered the off - season, and there is still a risk of hot - rolled coil inventory. Future attention should be paid to the production reduction rhythm. With the implementation of the Fed's easing expectations and positive signals from the China - US meeting, the market sentiment and capital environment are expected to improve, and the steel consumption end may gradually recover. In the short term, due to the impact of the cost side, the price center of finished products has slightly declined, and the demand is still weak, so the price will continue the weak shock trend. However, with the implementation of policies and changes in the macro - environment, future demand is expected to turn around [2]. - From the fundamental perspective of iron ore, affected by environmental protection restrictions and the decline in steel mill profits, the trend of declining hot - metal production continues, the demand side of iron ore continues to weaken, and the inventory pressure remains. In the short term, the ore price will run weakly, and attention should be paid to the support level of 750 - 760 yuan/ton [5]. - The black - sector pricing has recently returned to the fundamentals. The market is "attempting" a "negative feedback" transaction in the black sector, but this is considered a phased shock and emotional release with limited downside space. It is more cost - effective to look for callback positions to do long rather than short. The height after the callback depends on whether stimulus policies are introduced and their intensity [9][10]. - For industrial silicon, the supply and demand sides are weak, and the cost support is temporarily stable. It is expected that the price will consolidate and wait for new drivers. For polysilicon, the supply - demand pattern may improve marginally, but the short - term de - stocking range is expected to be limited. Attention should be paid to whether the upstream spot and futures prices can remain firm [14][16]. - For glass, the market lacks strong support from the supply - demand fundamentals, and the cost support for prices continues to weaken. It is expected that the price will continue to run weakly in the short term. For soda ash, the market has both long and short factors, and the price may continue the shock trend [19][21].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Steel demand has officially entered the off - season, with risks still existing in hot - rolled coil inventory, and attention should be paid to the production reduction rhythm. Future steel consumption may gradually recover, and although short - term demand is weak, there may be an inflection point with policy implementation and macro - environment changes [2] - For iron ore, affected by environmental protection restrictions and declining steel mill profits, iron ore demand continues to weaken, and inventory pressure remains. In the short term, ore prices will run weakly, and attention should be paid to the support level of 750 - 760 yuan/ton [5] - Regarding the black sector, it is considered that short - term "negative feedback" trading is a temporary shock, and it may be more cost - effective to look for rebound opportunities after corrections. The subsequent price increase depends on whether stimulus policies are introduced and their intensity [9][10] - For manganese silicon, pay attention to the situation of manganese ore. If the black sector strengthens, it may be driven by manganese ore. For silicon iron, its operability is relatively low [10] - For industrial silicon, supply and demand are weak, and prices are expected to consolidate, waiting for new drivers [13][14] - For polysilicon, the supply - demand pattern may improve marginally, but short - term de - stocking may be limited. Pay attention to the progress of the platform company [16] - For glass, the market lacks fundamental support, and prices are expected to remain weak in the short term [19] - For soda ash, the market has both long and short factors, and prices may continue to fluctuate in the short term [21] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Market Information - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3044 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan/ton (0.329%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts decreased by 9143 tons, and the main contract positions decreased by 37153 lots. In the spot market, the Tianjin and Shanghai aggregated prices remained unchanged [1] - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3252 yuan/ton, up 7 yuan/ton (0.215%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts decreased by 894 tons, and the main contract positions decreased by 19517 lots. The Shanghai aggregated price increased by 10 yuan/ton, while the Lecong aggregated price remained unchanged [1] Strategy Views - Rebar supply and demand both declined, inventory continued to decline, showing a neutral performance overall. Hot - rolled coil demand declined significantly, with inventory accumulating against the season. Steel demand has entered the off - season, and attention should be paid to the production reduction rhythm. Future demand may recover gradually [2] Iron Ore Market Information - The main contract (I2601) of iron ore closed at 765.00 yuan/ton, up 0.59% (+4.50). The positions decreased by 17806 lots to 54.16 million lots. The weighted positions were 96.85 million lots.

Non - mainstream country shipments increased, and the near - end arrival volume decreased. Demand: The average daily hot metal output decreased by 2.14 tons to 234.22 tons. Environmental protection restrictions in Hebei had a significant impact, and many steel mills increased maintenance. Inventory: Port inventory increased, and steel mill inventory also rose. In general, the fundamentals are weak, and short - term prices will run weakly [5] Manganese Silicon and Silicon Iron Market Information - On November 10, the main contract of manganese silicon (SM601) closed up 1.04% at 5820 yuan/ton.

Manganese silicon is in the 5600 - 6000 yuan/ton range, and silicon iron is in the 5400 - 5800 yuan/ton range [7][8] Strategy Views - The market is currently in a "negative feedback" trading situation, but it is considered a temporary shock. It may be more cost - effective to look for rebound opportunities after corrections. Manganese silicon lacks a clear main contradiction, and attention should be paid to the manganese ore situation. Silicon iron has no obvious supply - demand contradiction and follows the cost of electricity, with low operability [9][10] Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Information - The main contract of industrial silicon (SI2601) closed at 9290 yuan/ton, up 0.76% (+70).

It is recommended to go long on dips [16][17]. - In the short term, refined nickel inventory pressure is still significant, and nickel - iron prices remain weak, dragging down nickel prices. In the long - term, global fiscal and monetary easing will support nickel prices. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term, and consider building long positions gradually under certain conditions [19][20]. - The high - growth demand for power and energy - storage batteries has led to a continuous shortage of lithium carbonate and accelerated inventory depletion. However, as the peak season enters the middle and late stages, attention should be paid to the high - level selling pressure [22][23]. - The price of alumina is approaching the cost line of most manufacturers, and the expectation of production cuts is increasing. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [26][27]. - The stainless - steel market continues to show a weak and volatile trend, affected by over - supply and weak demand.
