Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the document. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In October 2025, the pulp market had a pattern of strong supply and weak demand for softwood pulp, with high inventory and slow de - stocking suppressing the rebound. The double - offset paper was in the off - season, and it was difficult to implement price increases. The pulp market's "structural increment" was still concentrated in hardwood pulp [4][5]. - For the pulp market in November, the upper limit was suppressed by high inventory and old warehouse receipts, while the lower limit was supported by the foreign market quotation and the price increase of white cardboard. For double - offset paper, prices were expected to continue to hover at low levels, and inventory reduction still relied on paper mills' active production cuts [5]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. Paper Pulp Market Review - In October, the domestic spot pulp price showed a pattern of "differentiated oscillations, weak softwood and stable hardwood". Softwood pulp led the decline due to high port inventory, weak demand, and financial market pressure. Hardwood pulp rose slightly supported by foreign market price increases and tight immediate supply. Unbleached pulp and chemimechanical pulp showed sideways movements, and domestic chemimechanical pulp rose rapidly in the second half of the month due to wood chip shortages, while non - wood pulp fluctuated slightly with wood pulp [10]. - The pulp futures 01 contract in October showed a "first - down - then - up" oscillating trend. Influenced by factors such as factory shutdowns, paper mill price increases, and exchange rate changes, the closing price at the end of the month increased by about 1.5% compared to the beginning of the month, and the daily average amplitude of the main contract was about 1.2% [15][17]. 2. Paper Pulp Supply - **Import**: In September, China's paper pulp imports reached 295.2 million tons, a historical peak for the same period. The forecast for October arrivals remained at around 3 million tons. It was expected that the annual imports would exceed 36 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 4.5% [21]. - **Domestic Production**: In October, domestic paper pulp production was 2.38 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 8.4%. It was expected that the annual production would reach 25.2 million tons, a year - on - year increase of about 4% [21][22]. - **Inventory**: As of October 23, the sample inventory of mainstream ports was 2.055 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.9%. If the November imports decreased as expected, the inventory was expected to continue to decline slightly, but it was difficult to fall below the critical level of 1.9 million tons [23][24]. 3. Paper Pulp Demand - **Cultural Paper**: In October, the apparent consumption of cultural paper decreased, and the demand for pulp continued to decline. It was expected that the annual pulp consumption would decrease by about 5% [27]. - **Packaging Paper**: In October, the consumption of hardwood pulp in packaging paper increased rapidly. It was expected that the annual pulp consumption would increase by 8 - 10% [27][28][29]. - **Household Paper**: In October, household paper maintained high - level production and sales. It was expected that the annual pulp consumption would increase by about 6% [30][31]. 4. Cultural Paper Market Review - **Double - Offset Paper**: In October, the average market price of double - offset paper was 4,643 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 2.1%. In November, there was still a risk of price decline [32]. - **Coated Paper**: In October, the average price of coated paper was 4,975 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 3.9%. In November, prices were expected to continue to hover at low levels [32][34]. 5. Cultural Paper Price Analysis - **Production**: In October, the production of double - offset paper was 890,000 tons, with a capacity utilization rate of 52.3%. The production of coated paper was 353,000 tons, with a utilization rate of 58.8%. In November, the planned production of both was expected to increase slightly [36][37]. - **Inventory**: At the end of October, the enterprise inventory of double - offset paper was 1.341 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 7.3%. The inventory of coated paper was 371,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.4%. If the price increase letters were not implemented in November, the inventory would continue to rise [38]. - **Profit**: In October, the losses of double - offset paper and coated paper expanded. In November, although paper mills issued price increase letters, it was difficult to reverse the loss situation [39]. - **Cost**: In October, the cost of wood pulp and energy increased, squeezing the profit space of paper mills. In November, there was still upward pressure on costs [40]. - **Import and Export**: In September, the imports and exports of double - offset paper and coated paper decreased. In October, the export volume was expected to remain low [40][41]. - **Downstream Demand**: In October, the demand for cultural paper was weak. In November, the spring textbook tender volume was expected to decline, and the demand was difficult to provide upward momentum [42]. 6. Future Outlook and Strategy Recommendations - **Paper Pulp Fundamental Analysis**: In November, attention should be paid to the port de - stocking speed. If the inventory fell below 1.9 million tons, the basis would converge, and the futures price would rise; otherwise, the near - low - far - high reverse spread would be maintained [46]. - **Paper Pulp Futures Strategy**: For single - side trading, short the SP2511 contract on rallies and long the SP2601 contract on dips. For arbitrage, mainly use the 12 - 1 reverse spread idea. For options, adopt a wait - and - see approach [47][49]. - **Double - Offset Paper Fundamental Analysis**: In November, the supply and demand of double - offset paper remained loose, prices were expected to continue to hover at low levels, and inventory reduction relied on paper mills' active production cuts [50]. - **Double - Offset Paper Strategy**: For single - side trading, short the OP2601 contract on rallies. For arbitrage and options, adopt a wait - and - see approach [51][54].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - In October, the marginal weakening of asphalt supply and demand and raw material risks jointly affected prices. In the first half of October, the sharp decline in oil prices under macro - risks significantly affected the cost of asphalt negatively. The demand weakened month - on - month at the end of the peak season, while supply remained high, increasing the inventory pressure in the industry chain and pressuring the spot price. In the second half of October, oil prices were strong, and the news of potential US actions against Venezuela affected asphalt costs, but the supply - demand situation continued to weaken in the fourth quarter, and the spot price stopped falling but lacked continuous upward momentum. In the future, oil prices will fluctuate, and there is no further positive support for the cost side in the short term. The supply - demand situation will gradually weaken quarter - on - quarter in the fourth quarter, and the spot price lacks continuous upward momentum. The supply side will remain high due to previous high profits, and the inventory pressure in the industry chain is expected to materialize in November. The short - term spot price will be weak, and the futures price is expected to fluctuate weakly [4][5][40] Group 3: Summary of Each Section 1. Preface and Overview - **Market Review**: In October, the marginal weakening of asphalt supply and demand and raw material risks affected prices. In the first half, macro - risks led to a sharp decline in oil prices, negatively affecting asphalt costs. Demand weakened month - on - month at the end of the peak season, supply remained high, and inventory pressure increased, pressuring the spot price. In the second half, oil prices were strong, and the news of potential US actions against Venezuela affected asphalt costs. The supply - demand situation continued to weaken in the fourth quarter, and the spot price stopped falling but lacked continuous upward momentum [4] - **Market Outlook**: Oil prices will fluctuate, and there is no further positive support for the cost side in the short term. The supply - demand situation will gradually weaken quarter - on - quarter in the fourth quarter, and the spot price lacks continuous upward momentum. The supply side will remain high due to previous high profits, and the inventory pressure in the industry chain is expected to materialize in November. The short - term spot price will be weak, and the futures price is expected to fluctuate weakly [5] - **Strategy Recommendation**: Short - term: For single - side trading, stay on the sidelines; for arbitrage, stay on the sidelines; for options, sell out - of - the - money put options on the BU2601 contract [6] 2. Fundamental Situation - **Market Review**: Similar to the preface, in October, the marginal weakening of asphalt supply and demand and raw material risks affected prices. In the first half, macro - risks led to a sharp decline in oil prices, negatively affecting asphalt costs. Demand weakened month - on - month at the end of the peak season, supply remained high, and inventory pressure increased, pressuring the spot price. In the second half, oil prices were strong, and the news of potential US actions against Venezuela affected asphalt costs. The supply - demand situation continued to weaken in the fourth quarter, and the spot price stopped falling but lacked continuous upward momentum [11] - **Supply Overview**: From January to September 2025, China's asphalt production was 20.95 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.26 million tons or 12%. In September, the domestic refinery asphalt production was 2.79 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.26 million tons and a year - on - year increase of 0.8 million tons. From January to August 2025, asphalt imports were 2.375 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 0.203 million tons (- 7.9%). In September, imports were 0.342 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.073 million tons and a year - on - year increase of 0.137 million tons. From January to September, imports were 2.717 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of about 0.066 million tons (- 2.4%) [15][16] - **Demand Overview**: In October 2025, domestic asphalt demand was weak. In the north, demand declined after a brief pre - holiday rush due to cooling and rain. In the south, demand was slow to release due to typhoons, rain, and capital constraints. Only a small amount of demand was supported in southern Xinjiang and parts of the southwest. Refinery shipments were at a low level, and terminal demand showed that the road modified asphalt start - up rate was slowly rising but still at a low level, while the waterproofing membrane start - up rate decreased to the lowest level [28] - **Inventory and Valuation**: In October 2025, domestic asphalt refinery inventories increased overall. Social inventories decreased overall, with a significant difference in the inventory consumption rhythm between the north and the south. The asphalt processing profit increased by about 25 yuan/ton compared to September, and the diluted asphalt premium decreased by 1.7 to - 8.2 US dollars/barrel. The basis in Shandong decreased by 35 yuan/ton to 171 yuan/ton, the basis in South China increased by 15 yuan/ton to 101 yuan/ton, and the basis in East China increased by 25 yuan/ton to 81 yuan/ton [30][33] 3. Future Outlook and Strategy Recommendation - **Future Outlook**: Oil prices will fluctuate, and there is no further positive support for the cost side in the short term. The supply - demand situation will gradually weaken quarter - on - quarter in the fourth quarter, and the spot price lacks continuous upward momentum. The supply side will remain high due to previous high profits, and the inventory pressure in the industry chain is expected to materialize in November. The short - term spot price will be weak, and the futures price is expected to fluctuate weakly [40] - **Strategy Recommendation**: Short - term: For single - side trading, stay on the sidelines; for arbitrage, stay on the sidelines; for options, sell out - of - the - money put options on the BU2601 contract [40]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term, the oil and fat market lacks drivers, and the market is in a stage of oscillating at the bottom. After the negative factors are exhausted and the market stabilizes, one can consider buying at low prices. The overall market is expected to maintain range - bound oscillations [6][74]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 First Part: Preface Summary 3.1.1 Market Review - In October, the oil and fat market did not rise after the holiday but showed an oscillating downward trend. Palm oil and rapeseed oil had relatively large declines, while soybean oil was more resistant to decline. In the first and middle of October, affected by factors such as negative MPOB reports and the expectation of eased China - Canada relations, there was a lack of positive drivers. In the second half of October, more negative factors emerged, leading to a rapid decline [4][10]. 3.1.2 Market Outlook - It is expected that after the Malaysian palm oil inventory continues to accumulate in October, it will gradually start to reduce slightly, but the inventory will still be at a relatively high level. The inventory of Indonesian palm oil remains low, but its fundamentals have weakened marginally. Currently, soybean oil has no prominent core contradiction and mainly follows the overall trend of the oil and fat market, with limited upward momentum but more resistance to decline. In the short term, due to insufficient domestic rapeseed supply, domestic rapeseed oil inventory is expected to continue to decline, and there is support at the lower end of the range before there is substantial progress in rapeseed imports from Canada and Australia [5]. 3.1.3 Strategy Recommendation - Unilateral: Short - term, the oil and fat market lacks drivers, and the market is in a stage of oscillating at the bottom. After the negative factors are exhausted and the market stabilizes, one can consider buying at low prices. - Arbitrage: P15 reverse spread. - Options: Wait and see [6]. 3.2 Second Part: Fundamental Situation 3.2.1 Market Review - Similar to the content in the preface summary, in October, the oil and fat market showed an oscillating downward trend, with palm oil and rapeseed oil having larger declines and soybean oil being more resistant to decline. Negative factors in the first and middle of October and more negative factors in the second half of the month led to the decline [10]. 3.2.2 High Malaysian Palm Oil Inventory and Higher - than - Expected Indonesian Production - Malaysian palm oil: In September, the ending inventory unexpectedly increased to 2.36 million tons, a 7% month - on - month increase. Production decreased slightly by 1% to 1.84 million tons, still at a relatively high level in the same period of history. Exports increased to 1.43 million tons as expected, still lower than the five - year average, and apparent consumption decreased to 330,000 tons, a 33% decline. It is estimated that in October, production may slightly increase to 1.87 million tons, and inventory may increase to around 2.45 million tons. The CPO spot price is oscillating weakly, and the export reference price for November has been lowered. After October, it will enter the traditional production - reduction season [13][14]. - Indonesian palm oil: In August, production decreased slightly by 1% to 5.55 million tons, a record high in the same period. Exports decreased but were still at a high level in the same period, and inventory decreased slightly to 2.54 million tons, still at a low level in the same period. The estimated production for this year has been raised to 56 - 57 million tons. The fruit bunch price has declined, the CPO tender price has stabilized and declined, and exports in September decreased significantly. The domestic biodiesel consumption from January to September increased by nearly 10% year - on - year, and the B50 policy is planned to be implemented in the middle of next year, but there are some implementation difficulties [28][29]. 3.2.3 End of Holiday Stocking and Slower Indian Procurement - Import: As of September, India's edible oil imports in the 2024/25 fiscal year totaled 13.98 million tons, a 4% year - on - year decrease. Palm oil imports decreased by about 14%, soybean oil imports reached a record high of 4.39 million tons, a 42% increase, and sunflower oil imports decreased by 20% on a high base but were still at a relatively high level in the same period. - Inventory: In September, India's port inventory continued to increase to 1.03 million tons, with palm oil inventory remaining stable, sunflower oil inventory decreasing, and soybean oil inventory increasing significantly. All three major oils' inventories were higher than the five - year average. - Price: The domestic edible oil price increase in India has slowed down but is still at a high level in the same period. Sunflower oil prices are rising, rapeseed oil prices are falling rapidly, and soybean and palm oil prices are stable at high levels. It is estimated that India will import more than 700,000 tons of palm oil in October, at a relatively low level in the same period, and soybean oil imports will remain at a relatively high level. It is expected that in the 25/26 fiscal year, India's edible oil imports will continue to increase to more than 17 million tons, with a significant increase in palm oil imports and relatively stable soybean oil imports [36][37]. 3.2.4 Weak Domestic Demand and High Oil and Fat Inventory - Palm oil: As of October 24, 2025, the commercial inventory of palm oil in key domestic regions was 607,100 tons, a 5.45% increase from the previous week. Imports from January to September were at a relatively low level in the same period, and the import profit was in a state of inversion. It is estimated that the inventory will continue to increase. Consumption from January to September was also at a relatively low level in the same period, the basis was oscillating weakly, and the soybean - palm oil spot price difference is expected to continue to repair. The palm oil market is expected to be range - bound, currently in an oscillating bottom - grinding stage [43]. - Soybean crushing: In September, soybean imports reached a record high of 12.87 million tons, a 5% month - on - month increase, and soybean crushing was also at a high level. It is expected that imports in October and November will decrease to about 9 million tons. As of October 24, the commercial inventory of soybean oil increased by 2.15% from the previous week. The market expects that the inventory will gradually decrease slightly later, but the supply is expected to be relatively loose [44]. - Rapeseed crushing: In September, domestic rapeseed crushing was at a relatively low level in the same period, and the rapeseed inventory was almost exhausted. As of October 24, the coastal rapeseed oil inventory was at a high level in the same period but was decreasing. The basis of rapeseed oil has risen rapidly. Due to insufficient domestic rapeseed supply and limited imports, the rapeseed oil inventory is expected to continue to decline, and there is support at the lower end of the range [47]. 3.3 Third Part: Future Outlook and Strategy Recommendation - It is expected that after the Malaysian palm oil inventory continues to accumulate in October, it will gradually start to reduce slightly, but the inventory will still be at a relatively high level. The inventory of Indonesian palm oil is expected to remain low, but its fundamentals have weakened marginally. The domestic palm oil inventory will continue to increase, and the supply will be relatively loose. Soybean oil has no prominent core contradiction and mainly follows the overall trend of the oil and fat market. Domestic rapeseed oil inventory is expected to continue to decline, and there is support at the lower end of the range. The overall oil and fat market is expected to be range - bound, currently in an oscillating bottom - grinding stage. After the negative factors are exhausted and the market stabilizes, one can consider buying at low prices and conducting range - bound operations [74].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - High - sulfur fuel oil: Supported by feedstock demand in October, with stable high - sulfur cracking and spot premiums. In the future, pay attention to Russia's supply and export under strengthened sanctions and the issuance of crude oil quotas. Feedstock demand may be affected [4][5]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Faced with continuous supply pressure in October, with declining spot premiums and cracking. The ARDS device maintenance of Al - Zour refinery brings short - term supply gaps, while the RFCC device maintenance of Dangote refinery is expected to increase supply. Pay attention to refinery device returns and export volume changes [4][5]. - Strategy recommendation: Short - term unilateral trading should be on the sidelines; for arbitrage, short the FU1 - 5 spread on rebounds and go long on low - sulfur internal - external spreads at low levels; no option strategy is recommended [6][59]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 First Part: Preface Summary 3.1.1 Market Review - High - sulfur fuel oil: Supported by feedstock demand from the US and China in October, with high - sulfur cracking fluctuating stably between - 4 and - 3 US dollars/barrel. Spot premiums oscillated at a medium - level. Supply from major regions increased slightly [4][10]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Suffered from continuous supply pressure in October, with spot premiums dropping by about 2.8 US dollars to - 2.6 US dollars/ton compared to the end of September. Cracking also declined by about 2.9 US dollars to 4.7 US dollars/barrel, at a low - level. There was no specific demand support [4][10]. 3.1.2 Market Outlook - High - sulfur fuel oil: Pay attention to Russia's supply and export under strengthened sanctions, which are expected to be less affected. The expected issuance of crude oil quotas may impact feedstock demand [5]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: The ARDS device maintenance of Al - Zour refinery brings short - term supply gaps, while the RFCC device maintenance of Dangote refinery is expected to increase supply. Pay attention to refinery device returns and export volume changes [5]. 3.1.3 Strategy Recommendation - Unilateral: Short - term wait - and - see. - Arbitrage: Short the FU1 - 5 spread on rebounds. Go long on low - sulfur internal - external spreads at low levels. - Options: None [6] 3.2 Second Part: Fundamental Situation 3.2.1 Market Review - High - sulfur fuel oil: Supported by feedstock demand, cracking was stable. Supply from major regions increased, including Russia, Mexico, and the Middle East. Spot premiums were at a medium - level [10]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Supply pressure continued, with declining spot premiums and cracking. Dangote and Malay local refineries' device maintenance increased supply in the Singapore region, and there was no specific demand support [10]. 3.2.2 High - Sulfur Supply - Russia: Facing continuous attacks on energy facilities and intensified sanctions from the US, UK, and EU. Pay attention to supply and logistics changes after sanctions. Before sanctions, raw material exports increased, and exports in October were relatively stable [15][17]. - Mexico: Tula refinery's coking device reduced fuel oil production. Olmeca refinery's high - sulfur production is expected to decrease gradually. High - sulfur exports in October recovered to about 500,000 tons [20]. - Middle East: High - sulfur exports increased slightly after the decline in power - generation demand. In October, daily exports were about 150,000 tons, up 2% from September [25]. 3.2.3 High - Sulfur Demand - Marine fuel demand: Stable support, with marginal growth from the increasing number of desulfurization tower ships. In September 2025, high - sulfur marine fuel consumption in Singapore and Fujeirah increased [34]. - Feedstock demand: Supported in the short - term by the crude oil quota gap in the fourth quarter. Pay attention to the re - issuance of crude oil quotas and the impact of sanctions. China's fuel oil imports increased in September [37][39]. - Power - generation demand: Completely subsided in Egypt and the Middle East [41]. 3.2.4 Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - South Sudan: Due to the trade ban between the UAE and Sudan, low - sulfur export logistics changed, with crude oil diverted to the Singapore region. The external tender volume did not decrease significantly [44]. - Al - Zour refinery: Production decreased in October, and the restart of desulfurization devices may be delayed. Exports increased in October, and the 2026 maintenance plan was postponed [47]. - Dangote refinery: The gasoline device resumed production at a 60% operating rate in October. Two batches of low - sulfur straight - run products were tendered during the device shutdown. Exports decreased slightly in October [48]. - China: The fourth - quarter bonded low - sulfur production is expected to decline slightly. Sinopec and PetroChina have sufficient quotas, while CNOOC is short of quotas. Sanctions may affect the production of some refineries [49][51]. 3.3 Third Part: Future Outlook and Strategy Recommendation - High - sulfur fuel oil: Pay attention to supply logistics changes after sanctions. Exports from Mexico and the Middle East are stable. Feedstock demand is supported in the short - term [59]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Spot premiums are oscillating at a low level. The low - sulfur production of Al - Zour refinery is affected. EU sanctions have little impact on domestic supply. Nigerian RFCC devices are running at a low load, and South Sudan's low - sulfur raw material logistics are changing. Marine fuel demand is stable [59]. - Strategy recommendation: Short - term unilateral trading should be on the sidelines; for arbitrage, short the FU1 - 5 spread on rebounds and go long on low - sulfur internal - external spreads at low levels; no option strategy is recommended [59].

Core View of the Report - The marginal impact of the macro - environment on the steel industry is weakening, and steel prices will continue to fluctuate within a range [1]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 2.1 Fundamental Situation - **Price and Basis**: The report presents season - based price charts of Shanghai 20mm rebar and 4.75mm hot - rolled coil, as well as the basis season charts of rebar and hot - rolled coil 01 contracts in Shanghai [9][10][12]. - **Contract Spreads**: It includes the 01 - 05 contract spreads of rebar and hot - rolled coil, and the spread between the main contracts of hot - rolled coil and rebar [14][15][16]. - **Profit**: The report shows the 01 - contract disk profits of rebar and hot - rolled coil [22]. - **Production**: Statistics on monthly pig iron and crude steel production, 247 steel mills' daily average hot - metal output, and the capacity utilization rate of 89 independent electric arc furnaces are provided [24][25][34]. - **Import and Export**: Data on steel and billet import quantities, steel and billet export quantities, and the export profits of Indian and Japanese hot - rolled coils are presented [36][59]. - **Demand and Inventory**: Information on the weekly apparent demand and total inventory of five major steel products, as well as the inventory of billets in the Tangshan area, is included [44][51]. 2.2 November Market Outlook - Although no specific outlook content is provided, the report is expected to analyze the market trend of the steel industry in November based on the previous fundamental data. 2.3 Macroeconomic and Downstream Industry Indicators - **Financial Indicators**: Data on new social financing scale, new RMB loans, and the loan demand index for infrastructure are presented [74][93]. - **Real Estate Indicators**: Information on the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment, land transaction area in 100 large and medium - sized cities, monthly year - on - year growth rate of commercial housing sales area, and new housing starts area is provided [76][81]. - **Infrastructure Indicators**: Data on the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of infrastructure fixed - asset investment, monthly year - on - year growth rate of infrastructure construction investment, and cement direct - supply volume for infrastructure are presented [96][99]. - **Manufacturing Indicators**: Information on the performance of various sub - items of the PMI, cumulative year - on - year growth rate of industrial enterprise profits, and monthly year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value is provided [105][108]. - **Downstream Industry Production**: Data on the monthly production of automobiles, civil steel ships, excavators, metal containers, refrigerators, and air conditioners are presented [119][125].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The previous undervaluation and macro - sentiment have boosted prices, but the supply - demand pressure has not been significantly alleviated. After the undervaluation situation is repaired, it can still be used as a short - side configuration within the sector [2][77] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Outlook - Supply: The alloy supply side has not started a production - cut trend, and the overall output remains in high - level fluctuations. Silicon manganese (187 enterprises) had a September output of 898,400 tons, a 1.2% month - on - month decrease and an 18.8% year - on - year increase. Silicon iron (136 enterprises) had a September output of 488,200 tons, a 1% month - on - month decrease and a 5.9% year - on - year increase [2][23] - Demand: The molten iron output is gradually decreasing. Due to the slow progress of steel inventory reduction, steel profits are continuously compressed. With the seasonal decline in steel demand in November and possible phased production restrictions on some regional steel mills, the demand side still has a downward risk [2][23][76] - Cost: Manganese ore prices are differentiated. Since the resumption of shipments in June, the import volume of Australian ore has increased significantly, causing the price of Australian lumps to decline continuously. However, the overall manganese ore port inventory is still at a low level in the same period, and the spot prices of Gabonese and South African ores are still relatively firm. The cost side has some support, but the upward driving force for prices is insufficient [2][56][77] - Market sentiment: The 14th Five - Year Plan Outline mentions carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and there are expectations of capacity reduction or production control in the ferroalloy industry. Sino - US trade negotiations have made important progress, reaching a basic consensus [2][77] Strategy Recommendations - Unilateral: After the undervaluation situation is repaired, it can still be used as a short - side configuration within the sector [3] - Arbitrage: Wait and see [3] - Options: Sell straddle option combinations on rallies [3] Fundamental Situation 1. Market Review - In October, ferroalloy futures prices first declined and then rebounded. After the National Day holiday, steel inventory increased counter - seasonally, and the supply side remained at a high level, causing price declines. In mid - October, prices reached a low - valuation level, and with the decline in steel inventory and positive progress in Sino - US trade negotiations, prices rebounded [7] 2. Supply at High - level Fluctuations and Demand Slowly Declining - Supply: Silicon manganese production in September was 898,400 tons, with a slight decline expected in October. Silicon iron production in September was 488,200 tons, and it is expected to remain stable at a high level in October. On October 31, the national 136 independent silicon - iron enterprise sample start - up rate was 36.08%, and the daily average output was 113,200 tons. The 187 independent silicon - manganese enterprise sample start - up rate was 42.99%, and the daily average output was 207,700 tons [23] - Demand: Steel mill spot profits continued to decline, and molten iron output decreased slightly after mid - October. On October 31, the daily average pig iron output of 247 sample steel mills was 2.3636 million tons, a decrease of 35,400 tons compared to the previous period. It is expected that molten iron output will continue to decline in November [23] 3. Alloy Factory Inventory Oscillating Upward with a Significant Increase in Silicon Manganese Inventory - Alloy factory inventory: On October 31, the inventory of 60 independent silicon - iron enterprises was 71,900 tons, a month - on - month increase of 5,400 tons. The inventory of 63 independent silicon - manganese enterprises was 314,500 tons, a month - on - month increase of 21,500 tons [40] - Downstream inventory: Due to low steel profits, steel mills have the motivation to reduce raw material inventory. The available days of silicon iron and manganese silicon are stable with a slight decline, and it is expected to maintain a low - inventory state in November [40] 4. Manganese Ore Inventory at a Low Level and Australian Ore Prices Continuously Declining - Power coal and electricity prices: Port power coal prices were strong in October, and ferroalloy production area electricity prices fluctuated little, having no obvious impact on costs [52][56] - Manganese ore: The price of Australian lumps has declined continuously, with a cumulative decline of 1 yuan/ton degree in Tianjin Port in October. However, the overall manganese ore port inventory is at a low level in the same period, and the spot prices of Gabonese and South African ores are relatively firm. The cost side has some support, but the upward driving force for manganese silicon prices is insufficient [56]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the context of continued positive policy and valuations reaching the 80%-90% percentile of the past decade, attention should be focused on the capital market and the prospects of the technology sector. The unilateral strategy is to go long at low levels, and the arbitrage strategy is to go long on the main contracts of IM/IC and short ETFs for cash-futures arbitrage [5][6][45] 3. Summary Based on the Table of Contents 3.1 Second Part: Market Review in October 3.1.1 Stock Market - First Decline, Then Rise, and Reach a New High - In October, the A-share market first declined and then rose, with the stock index reaching a new high after oscillations. By October 29, the monthly increase of the CSI 300 Index was 2.3%, the SSE 50 Index rose 2.48%, the CSI 500 Index rose 0.93%, and the CSI 1000 Index fell 0.08% [10] - The oscillations in the stock index led to prominent performances in traditional industries. Sectors such as coal, insurance, telecommunications, public utilities, and oil and gas had significant increases, while sectors like media, automotive, healthcare, computer, real estate, and food declined. The technology sector showed differentiation, with high-level oscillations in concepts such as optical modules, domestic chips, advanced manufacturing processes, and humanoid robots [12] 3.1.2 Stock Index Futures - Periodic Expansion of Premium and Decline in Trading Volume and Open Interest - In October, the premium of stock index futures expanded periodically compared to the previous month. Especially after the listing of the 2606 contract, the premium of the quarterly contracts of IM, IC, and IF expanded significantly, while the premium of the current-month contracts slightly decreased overall, and the basis of each IH contract remained stable [16] - The trading volume and open interest of stock index futures declined overall in October. The average daily trading volume of IM, IC, IF, and IH decreased by 14.4%, 4.1%, 12.6%, and 3.8% respectively; the average daily open interest of IM, IF, and IH decreased by 4.9%, 3%, and 3.8% respectively, while the average daily open interest of IC slightly increased by 0.4% [23] - The expansion of the premium increased the rollover cost for short positions in stock index futures. The optimal choice for short positions in IM and IC to roll over to the next-month contracts had the lowest cost, with the average monthly annualized costs being 9.55% and 8.12% respectively, increasing by 0.82 and 0.59 percentage points compared to the previous month. The optimal choice for short positions in IF and IH to roll over to the next quarterly contracts had the lowest cost, with the average monthly annualized costs being 2.52% and 0.16% respectively, increasing by 0.32 and 0.23 percentage points compared to the previous month [27] - From the perspective of the open interest of major seats, the open interest of each variety remained stable overall, but the net short positions in IC increased significantly. The average monthly net short positions of the top five and top ten seats in IC increased by 2.1 and 2.5 percentage points respectively compared to the previous month. In addition, at the end of September, facing the National Day holiday, the short positions in IF significantly increased before the holiday and then quickly decreased after the holiday, indicating the hedging operations of investors using stock index futures [29] 3.2 Third Part: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy 3.2.1 What's Different About Reaching 4000 Points Again - On October 28, the Shanghai Composite Index stood above the 4000-point mark again after a decade, which was the third time since May 9, 2007, and April 8, 2015. Compared with the previous two times, this round of market has both similarities and some obvious differences [34] - In 2007, the first time the Shanghai Composite Index reached 4000 points was in the middle and later stages of the 2005 - 2007 bull market, driven by the split-share structure reform policy. Corporate profits improved in line with the macroeconomy, leading to a comprehensive bull market [34] - In 2015, the second time the Shanghai Composite Index reached 4000 points was in the later stage of the 2013 - 2015 bull market. Due to the quantitative easing policy implemented by the US at the end of 2012 and multiple reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts in China, the liquidity in both China and the US was loose, and the margin trading in A-shares was active, resulting in a structural market driven by industrial upgrading [34] - Currently, the macroeconomy still faces significant uncertainties, but the artificial intelligence industry chain has experienced explosive growth. The ETF market has expanded significantly, and the absolute value of margin trading balance has continuously reached new highs. The proportion of margin trading is still far lower than that in 2015, and the market is generally stable. The policy is still to "fully consolidate the stable and improving trend of the market," and the development prospects of emerging industries are still broad. Therefore, this round of market is more similar to that in 2015, and the capital market and the prospects of the artificial intelligence industry will determine the height of the market [35] 3.2.2 The Third Quarter Reports to Test the Bull Market - As of October 31, 5437 companies announced their performance, and the overall third-quarter reports of listed companies showed an increase, adding confidence to the bull market. The total operating income of all A-shares reached 53.3 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.21%, and the net profit attributable to the parent company reached 4.7 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.34%, breaking away from the downward trend of the previous two quarters [40] - It should be noted that the 11.31% increase in the single-quarter net profit attributable to the parent company in the third quarter reports is related to the low base in the third quarter of last year (-15%), which is consistent with the continuous monthly increase of over 20% in the profits of industrial enterprises above the designated size from August to September. With the PMI remaining below the boom-bust line for six consecutive months and the order backlog index remaining at around 45%, the full-year performance still needs continuous tracking and observation [42] - For the performance growth of industry sectors that A-share investors are more concerned about, there have been some changes. Since April, the artificial intelligence wave has led to a significant increase in the performance of the semiconductor industry chain, forming a "Davis double-click" and stimulating market sentiment. However, among the three leading companies in the optical module (CPO) sector, the single-quarter operating income of two companies decreased quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter, and the net profit attributable to the parent company hardly increased quarter-on-quarter. Affected by this, the stock prices of relevant companies fell sharply, the sector declined, and the stock index was also affected. If the performance of the NVIDIA industry chain continues to fall short of expectations, attention should be paid to the progress of the domestic chip industry chain and the performance implementation of the robot industry [43] 3.2.3 Future Strategies - Based on the above analysis, in the context of continued positive policy and valuations reaching the 80%-90% percentile of the past decade, attention should be focused on the capital market and the prospects of the technology sector. Under the premise that the above factors remain unchanged, the unilateral strategy is to go long at low levels. Stock index futures investors should pay attention to the year-end convergence rule of the premium of IM/IC/IF, and the arbitrage strategy is to go long on the main contracts of IM/IC and short ETFs for cash-futures arbitrage [45]
