Ukrainian bombings of Russian refineries continue, affecting some refinery capacities. Mexican high - sulfur exports are declining, and Middle - East high - sulfur exports are stable at a low level. High - sulfur supply pressure in the third quarter is slightly lower than expected. High - sulfur seasonal power - generation demand is gradually decreasing, and the support from feedstock demand in China after the increase in the consumption - tax deduction ratio is not obvious. Singapore's high - sulfur bunker fuel bunkering volume in July reached the highest level since IMO2020 [7] - Low - sulfur fuel oil spot premiums are continuously declining. The increase in spot - window sellers and near - term supply growth are hitting low - sulfur spot prices. Low - sulfur supply is continuously increasing, and there is no specific driver for downstream demand. Nigerian RFCC units have intermittent maintenance, and South - Sudan's low - sulfur raw - material supply is gradually returning to the early 2024 level. Al - Zour's low - sulfur exports have rebounded to the high level of normal refinery operation, with a significant increase in exports to Singapore.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The steel fundamentals are peaking, with seasonal demand decline and supply - demand pressure. However, high iron - water production and export demand, along with previous policies, have driven the market up. The price center of the steel market is expected to shift from policy to fundamentals, and steel prices may show a short - term weakening trend [4][5]. - For coking coal and coke, although the market sentiment has cooled recently, the supply will be affected by policies in the medium term, and the price center of coking coal will gradually rise [10]. - Iron ore prices are expected to fluctuate in the short term as the factors driving price increases weaken and the terminal steel demand is under pressure [15]. - For ferroalloys, both silicon - iron and manganese - silicon need to be wary of the adjustment risks caused by the rapid increase in supply [20]. 3. Summary by Category Steel - **Related Information**: Some steel mills in Tangshan received oral notices of environmental protection production restrictions. From August 25 - September 3, sintering machines will be restricted by 30%, and from August 31 - September 3, blast furnaces may be restricted by 40%. The spot prices of steel in Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin have declined. The State Council emphasized boosting investment and stabilizing the real estate market [2][3]. - **Logic Analysis**: The black - metal sector oscillated last Friday night. Steel production resumed overall last week, with a slight reduction in rebar production and an increase in hot - rolled coil production. The overall inventory of the five major steel products increased, and the demand for building materials declined. The fundamentals of steel are peaking, but high iron - water production and export demand, along with previous policies, have driven the market up. The price center is expected to shift to fundamentals, and steel prices may weaken [4][5]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral trading suggests a weakening trend; for arbitrage, it is recommended to enter positive spreads at low basis levels and hold; for options, it is recommended to wait and see [6][7][8]. Coking Coal and Coke - **Related Information**: The coke price in Xingtai is planned to increase, with a 50 - yuan/ton increase for tamping wet - quenched coke and a 55 - yuan/ton increase for tamping dry - quenched coke [9]. - **Logic Analysis**: Recently, the prices of some coal mines have corrected, and the downstream purchasing enthusiasm has weakened. In the medium term, coal supply will be affected by policies, and the price center of coking coal will gradually rise. The impact of over - production inspections on coal mine production is emerging [10]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral trading suggests waiting for a correction and then going long on far - month contracts [11]. Iron Ore - **Related Information**: The State Council emphasized boosting investment and stabilizing the real estate market. The A - share market value exceeded 100 trillion yuan on August 18. From August 11 - 17, the global iron - ore shipment volume increased. The spot prices of some iron - ore varieties in Qingdao Port have changed [12][14]. - **Logic Analysis**: The iron - ore price oscillated at night. The mainstream ore shipments are stable, and the non - mainstream shipments in August are at a high level year - on - year. The demand for terminal steel is under pressure, and the factors driving price increases have weakened. The short - term ore price will fluctuate [15]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral, arbitrage, option, and spot - futures trading all suggest waiting and seeing [13]. Ferroalloys - **Related Information**: The manganese - ore inventory in Tianjin Port increased, while that in Qinzhou Port decreased. The coke price in Xingtai is planned to increase [18]. - **Logic Analysis**: For silicon - iron, the supply is increasing rapidly, and the demand is at a high level but the rebar apparent demand is declining. For manganese - silicon, the supply is also increasing, the demand is high in the short term, and the cost is supported. Both need to be wary of supply - related adjustment risks [20]. - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral trading suggests using it as a short - position variety in the industrial chain; for arbitrage, it is recommended to conduct positive spreads when the basis is low; for options, it is recommended to sell straddle option combinations at high prices [21].

The oil - meal ratio of 01 was 2.697, compared with 2.699 yesterday. The current spot spreads of soybean meal - rapeseed meal, soybean meal - sunflower meal, and rapeseed meal - sunflower meal were 377, 473, and 116 respectively, with changes of - 51, - 7, and +4 [4]. 3.2 Fundamentals - In the US, the old - crop soybean balance sheet is clearly positive. Exports are basically completed, and the crush volume is also increased, resulting in a certain decrease in the ending stocks. For new - crop soybeans, although the yield per unit is increased, the supply is tightened due to a large reduction in the planting area. The cumulative exports of new - crop soybeans are still slow. The new - crop stock - to - use ratio is expected to have limited positive effects. If more positive factors emerge, the US soybean futures may continue to be strong [5]. - In South America, the old - crop soybeans are in a situation of relatively loose supply and demand. The soybean production of major exporting countries is expected to increase by 15.39 million tons, and the crush volume will increase by 8.21 million tons. The total ending stocks or exports may increase. The selling progress of Brazilian farmers is relatively slow, and there is still price pressure. However, the relatively high price of Brazilian soybeans is due to the optimistic outlook for future exports [5]. - Internationally, the supply pressure of soybean meal is still obvious. It is expected that the soybean crush volume in major producing areas will increase by 21.536 million tons throughout the year, while the imports of major soybean meal importing countries only increase slightly. The soybean - related market still faces pressure, and the price center is expected to decline [5]. - In China, the domestic soybean meal spot market is still loose. The oil refinery operating rate remains high, the supply is sufficient, and the提货量 also increases. The inventory remains at a high level. The market trading volume increases, mainly in basis trading. There are increasing concerns about the tight supply in the far - month. As of August 15, the actual soybean crush volume of oil refineries was 2.339 million tons, the operating rate was 65.75%, the soybean inventory was 6.804 million tons, a decrease of 301,600 tons (4.24%) from last week and a decrease of 243,500 tons (3.46%) year - on - year. The soybean meal inventory was 1.0147 million tons, an increase of 11,200 tons (1.12%) from last week and a decrease of 481,800 tons (32.2%) year - on - year [7]. - The demand for rapeseed meal in China has gradually weakened recently. The operating rate of oil refineries has decreased, but the overall supply is still sufficient, and the supply pressure remains. Although there are uncertainties in the future supply of rapeseed and rapeseed meal, the demand is also weakening. As of the week of August 15, the rapeseed crush volume of major coastal oil refineries was 44,800 tons, and the operating rate this week was 11.94%. The rapeseed inventory of major coastal oil refineries was 115,000 tons, a decrease of 23,800 tons from last week; the rapeseed meal inventory was 25,500 tons, a decrease of 6,500 tons from last week [7]. 3.3 Macroeconomics - The negotiation between China and the US in London has been completed, but the market lacks clear information. Due to the lack of clear macro - guidance, the market is still worried about the uncertainty of future supply. There are still many uncertainties in international trade, but as the market stabilizes, macro - disturbances decrease. Since China still has a high demand for US soybeans in the long - term, the price is not likely to drop significantly in the short - term, especially in the absence of macro - guidance [8]. 3.4 Logical Analysis - The domestic soybean meal futures fluctuate mainly because the cost is significantly increased. The current price of US soybeans does not fully reflect the positive factors, and the situation in the monthly supply - demand report is more affected by the exports of US new - crop soybeans, which is also closely related to the domestic soybean meal supply. Therefore, it is expected to continue to fluctuate [9]. - The rapeseed meal market has significantly enlarged price fluctuations. After a large - scale adjustment in the past few days, the price shows some support after the decline. The market generally pays attention to the import of Australian rapeseed. In the medium - term, the positive factors for rapeseed meal will be relatively obvious. In the future, the rapeseed meal market may need to limit the demand through a lower price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal [9]. - The month - to - month spread of soybean meal still faces downward pressure, while that of rapeseed meal is expected to be strong, especially for the far - month spread [9].
