Core Viewpoints of the Report - Nickel market: The expectation of nickel surplus persists, with general spot trading. Downstream demand has increased slightly overall due to the rise in stainless - steel production in August. The supply side has also seen a slight increase month - on - month, resulting in a slow increase in inventory. Nickel prices are expected to remain in a volatile pattern, and attention should be paid to changes in the macro - situation [6]. - Stainless - steel market: The global economic outlook and tariff policy changes still affect the external demand for stainless steel, and the Fed's decisions also influence the macro - atmosphere. Stainless - steel prices lack upward demand drivers but are supported by costs at the bottom, so they are expected to maintain a wide - range oscillation [9]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Chapter 1: Spread Tracking and Inventory 3.1.1 Nickel - Global Nickel Inventory Slow Accumulation - Global visible inventory stands at 258,000 tons, including 211,000 tons in LME inventory, 27,000 tons in SHFE inventory, and 41,000 tons in SMM's six - location social inventory [11]. 3.1.2 Stainless Steel - Social Inventory Reduction - Steel mills have fine - tuned the arrival volume of goods in the spot market, with limited new supplies.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views - The alloy market shows a pattern of increasing supply and demand. However, the recent rapid increase in supply and limited further growth in demand suggest potential weakening in the supply - demand balance. Iron alloys can be considered as short - side allocation in the industrial chain [5]. - As the "anti - involution" trading calms down, commodity performance is expected to diverge. Products with actual production cuts and policy support will likely remain strong, while others will be driven more by their own fundamentals [5]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies Comprehensive Analysis - **Supply**: The production of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese continued to rise this week, and the operating rates in recent weeks have shown an accelerating upward trend [5]. - **Demand**: The molten iron output of 247 steel mills slightly increased, but the apparent demand for steel, especially for rebar, decreased more than seasonally. Combined with the poor macro data in July, there is a risk of a decline in the demand side [5]. - **Cost**: The electricity price remained stable this week, and the price of port manganese ore increased slightly [5]. - **Market sentiment**: "Anti - involution" leading varieties such as polysilicon and coking coal are oscillating at high levels.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, iron ore prices fluctuated widely, and short - term market sentiment was volatile. As the previous price reached a phased high, the factors driving further price increases weakened, and the market may shift to the relatively rapid weakening of terminal steel demand. Short - term iron ore prices will mainly fluctuate [3]. - The trading strategy suggests that for single - side trading, it will be in a volatile state, and high - level hedging of spot is the main approach; for arbitrage and options, it is advisable to wait and see [3]. Summary by Related Catalogs Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategy - **Core Logic**: Mainstream iron ore shipments were stable. Due to the low base in the same period last year, there was a certain year - on - year increase from the third quarter to date this year, but the year - on - year increase is expected to slow down. Non - mainstream ore shipments remained at a high level year - on - year in July and August, contributing incremental shipments. On the demand side, the growth rates of manufacturing and infrastructure investment weakened in July. The demand for construction steel continued to be weak, and the recent demand for manufacturing steel weakened rapidly month - on - month, suppressing terminal steel demand. Overseas iron element consumption increased by 1.8% year - on - year in the first half of the year, and overseas steel demand remained at a relatively high level [3]. - **Trading Strategy**: - **Single - side**: Iron ore prices will fluctuate, and high - level hedging of spot is the main strategy. - **Arbitrage**: Wait and see. - **Options**: Wait and see [3].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The soda ash market is strongly influenced by capital behavior, with small rumors spreading. Although it shows short - term resistance, its fundamentals are weak, with increasing supply, stable rigid demand, and a trend of inventory accumulation. The glass market has stable daily production, but the actual demand growth rate is limited, and the inventory is increasing. The overall commodity market is dominated by weak reality and strong expectations, with intensified divergence between long and short positions [14][23] - For soda ash, it is expected to fluctuate in the short - term, with attention to logical transformation and event - driven factors. For glass, it is expected to show a weakening trend in the short - term. The report also suggests paying attention to the entry opportunity of going long FG01 and short SA01 [14][23] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Soda Ash 1.1 Supply - This week, the domestic soda ash production was 761,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 17,000 tons (2.2%). The production increase was due to the increased load of some devices such as Jiangsu Shilian, Shaanxi Xinghua, etc., and the decrease was due to the maintenance of Inner Mongolia Chemical Industry. It is expected that the weekly production next week will be 780,000 tons, and large - scale maintenance will start in September, but the premium and scale of maintenance are limited [7] - The theoretical profit of ammonia - soda process soda ash in China was 34.40 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 21.80 yuan/ton. The theoretical profit of dual - ton soda ash by the combined - soda process was 9 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 59.50 yuan/ton. The cost of anthracite increased slightly, the coal price continued to rise, the soda ash price center moved down, and the profit weakened [7] 1.2 Demand - This week, the apparent demand for soda ash was 733,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 8.5%.

The daily output of float glass was stable, and the daily output of photovoltaic glass increased by 1,680 tons, with more kiln restarts recently [10] - Manufacturers are fulfilling previous orders, and the short - term replenishment willingness of middle and downstream enterprises is not strong. The spot price has been reduced, and the market's available spot has increased [10] 1.3 Inventory - Upstream: The total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 1,894,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 29,000 tons (1.5%). Among them, the inventory of light soda ash increased by 42,000 tons, and that of heavy soda ash decreased by 14,000 tons [13] - Middle - stream: The social inventory increased by 3.9% to 467,000 tons, and the growth rate of social inventory slowed down. The number of warehouse receipts was 10,192 [13] - Downstream: The soda ash inventory days of some float glass enterprises decreased, while the inventory days including goods to be delivered increased in some cases [13] 1.4 Market Performance and Strategy - The soda ash market showed a strong trend independent of its fundamentals and the black sector, driven by capital behavior. The supply increased, the rigid demand was stable, and the inventory was accumulating. The short - term is expected to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the entry opportunity of going long FG01 and short SA01. Options should be on the sidelines [14] 2. Glass 2.1 Supply - The daily output of float glass was 159,600 tons, remaining stable week - on - week, with 223 production lines. The weekly average profit of float glass using different fuels decreased [17] - As the futures price fell, the social inventory was released, and some downstream enterprises mainly consumed their own inventory. The supply was sufficient, the upstream inventory increased, and enterprises reduced prices [17] 2.2 Demand - As the futures price fell, the supply from term traders was released, negatively affecting the spot market. Both middle - stream and downstream inventories were relatively sufficient, and the short - term replenishment willingness was not strong. The deep - processing orders did not improve significantly [20] - As of July 31, 2025, the average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises was 9.55 days, a week - on - week increase of 2.7% and a year - on - year decrease of 1.55%. The deep - processing profit was still low [20] 2.3 Market Performance and Strategy - The glass market showed a fluctuating trend this week, with prices following the soda ash market. The spot price reduction was mainly reflected in the reverse - spread monthly difference. The short - term is expected to fluctuate weakly, and attention should be paid to the entry opportunity of going long FG01 and short SA01. Options should be on the sidelines [23]

Group 1: Report Information - Report Type: Energy Chemical Research Report - Urea Daily Report [2] - Report Date: August 13, 2025 [2] Group 2: Market Review - Futures Market: Urea futures fluctuated and closed at 1726 (+0/+0%) [3] - Spot Market: Factory prices were stable. Henan's factory price was reported at 1660 - 1680 yuan/ton, Shandong's small - particle factory price at 1680 - 1700 yuan/ton, Hebei's small - particle factory price at 1700 - 1710 yuan/ton, Shanxi's medium and small - particle factory price at 1620 - 1630 yuan/ton, Anhui's small - particle factory price at 1690 - 1710 yuan/ton, and Inner Mongolia's factory price at 1570 - 1630 yuan/ton [3] Group 3: Important Information - On August 13, the daily urea production in the industry was 19.12 tons, a decrease of 0.15 tons from the previous working day and an increase of 2.23 tons from the same period last year. The daily operating rate was 82.59%, a 5.99% increase from 76.60% in the same period last year [4] Group 4: Logic Analysis - Market Sentiment: Generally average. Mainstream regional urea spot factory quotes stopped falling and stabilized, with weaker transactions. Shandong's mainstream factory quotes rebounded, but market sentiment was average. Industrial compound fertilizer operating rates increased slightly, with sufficient raw material inventories, high finished - product inventories, few grass - roots orders, and mainly rigid - demand replenishment. Henan's market sentiment was low, with stable factory quotes, and traders were waiting and watching. In the delivery area and surrounding areas, factory prices were weakly stable, and the market atmosphere cooled [5] - Supply: Some devices were under maintenance, and the daily average production dropped to around 19 tons, still at the highest level in the same period. Urea production enterprise inventories increased by 5.38 tons to around 91.73 tons, at a high level overall [5] - Demand: A new round of Indian tenders was announced, with the final price rising by more than $30/ton compared to the previous period. There was a large price difference between domestic and foreign markets, which boosted the domestic market sentiment to some extent. However, the enthusiasm for compound fertilizers in Central and North China was not high, and grass - roots had no intention to stock up. Although the operating rate of compound fertilizer plants increased slightly, the available days of urea inventory were more than half a month, and the procurement sentiment for raw materials was low [5] - Market Outlook: In the short term, domestic demand was still limited. Agricultural demand had ended, and compound fertilizers had not started production on a large scale. The spot market sentiment was generally stable. After some regions lowered factory prices, manufacturers still had difficulty in receiving orders. The Indian tender confirmed 2.1 million tons of supply, in line with market expectations, and the spot market sentiment weakened again [5] Group 5: Trading Strategy - Unilateral: Short at high levels, do not chase short positions [6] - Arbitrage: Wait and see [6] - Options: Sell put options on pullbacks [8]

In Texas, the average temperature was 86.22°F, 1.17°F lower than the same period last year, and the average rainfall was 0.4 inches, 0.18 inches higher than the same period last year. The cotton growth rate was slightly behind, but the growth quality was good [6] - According to the latest USDA production and sales forecast, in August, the global cotton output was adjusted down by 390,000 tons to 25.39 million tons, the total consumption decreased by 30,000 tons to 25.69 million tons, and the ending inventory decreased by 740,000 tons to 16.09 million tons [6] - The estimated US cotton planting area in August was 9.28 million acres, a decrease of 840,000 acres from the previous month. The abandonment rate increased by 6.26%, and the yield per acre increased by 53 pounds to 862 pounds [6] Trading Logic - Macroeconomically, after the recent China - US talks, the current tariffs are expected to be extended by 90 days with a high probability, and the short - term impact of tariffs may be weakened. China's anti - involution policies have a certain positive impact on commodities. Fundamentally, the current cotton supply is still tight, and whether the market will issue additional sliding - scale tariff quotas in the future will be the main influencing factor on the supply side. In August, demand will gradually shift from the off - season to the peak season, and demand is expected to improve. If demand fails to meet expectations, it will have a certain negative impact on Zhengzhou cotton. Overall, short - term market bullish factors are relatively clear, and it is expected that the downward space of Zhengzhou cotton is limited, and it will probably maintain a slightly stronger oscillating trend [7] Trading Strategies - Unilateral: It is expected that the future trend of US cotton will probably be slightly stronger in oscillation, and Zhengzhou cotton is expected to maintain a slightly stronger oscillating trend in the short term, but the upward space is relatively limited [8] - Arbitrage: Wait and see [9] - Options: Sell put options [10] Cotton Yarn Industry News - This week, Zhengzhou cotton rebounded. With the approaching peak season, the pure cotton yarn market has slightly improved, with fewer low - price resources and a slightly higher trading center. However, market operations are still cautious, and downstream fabric mills and traders have not made large - scale replenishment. It is expected that yarn prices will remain stable in the short term [10] - The overall demand for all - cotton grey fabrics has not been significantly released. Only some areas reported a slight improvement in demand compared with July. Fabric mills said they were actively clearing inventories, and the growth rate of grey fabric inventory has decreased. Fabric mills reported an increase in samples, but most real orders have not been placed. Prices are mainly stable, and real - order prices are still negotiated based on quantity.
