Report Summary - The report is a weekly crude oil report from AVIC Futures dated November 14, 2025 [2] - This week, oil prices first rose and then fell, showing an overall volatile and weak trend. The influencing factors of crude oil are mixed. Geopolitical disturbances provided support for oil prices at the beginning of the week, but the OPEC monthly report's shift in market expectations from tight to surplus intensified concerns about oversupply, causing sharp price fluctuations. In the short term, the expectation of oversupply is the main pressure on the market, but OPEC+'s suspension of the production increase plan for the first quarter of next year, strong demand, and geopolitical uncertainties provide support. The report expects crude oil to maintain a wide - range volatile trend [7] - The trading strategy suggests paying attention to the WTI crude oil price range of $57 - 62 per barrel [8] Multi - Empty Focus - Bullish factors include geopolitical disturbances [10] - Bearish factors include the shift in OPEC market expectations and EIA inventory accumulation [10] Macroeconomic Analysis OPEC Report - OPEC's latest monthly report on November 12 shows that the global crude oil market expectation has shifted from a shortage of 400,000 barrels per day to a surplus of 500,000 barrels per day. Non - OPEC supply growth expectations for this year are raised by 110,000 barrels per day, and the demand for OPEC crude in 2026 is lowered, indicating a pessimistic view on next year's demand [11] - In October, OPEC's crude oil production was 28.46 million barrels per day, a month - on - month increase of 33,000 barrels per day, and OPEC+'s production was 43.02 million barrels per day, a decrease of 73,000 barrels per day from September, showing a slowdown in the pace of OPEC+ production increase [11] - The global crude oil demand growth rate forecast for 2025 is 1.3 million barrels per day, and for 2026 is 1.38 million barrels per day. From January to September this year, global oil inventories increased by 304 million barrels, with about 156 million barrels being marine crude oil [11] Geopolitical Situation - The Russia - Ukraine conflict continues, with large - scale attacks on Ukrainian military and energy facilities. Short - term negotiations are unlikely as Russia is ready for talks but Ukraine has stopped relevant dialogues until the end of this year [12] - The US - Venezuela relationship remains uncertain, with the Trump administration not planning to launch an attack in Venezuela currently [12] - The global geopolitical situation is complex and uncertain. Although it has not caused substantial losses to global crude oil supply in the short term, it affects market sentiment and increases oil price volatility [12] Data Analysis Supply Side - As of the week ending November 7, US domestic crude oil production reached a record high of 13.862 million barrels per day, a week - on - week increase of 211,000 barrels. There is a probability of further increase in production, and supply pressure will gradually emerge as the peak consumption season for refined oil ends [13] - As of the week ending November 7, the total number of US oil drilling rigs was 414, the same as the previous value. Due to factors such as capital expenditure contraction, resource grade decline, and policy adjustment, it is expected to remain at a low level this year [15] Demand Side - As of the week ending October 31, the US refinery utilization rate was 86%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.6 percentage points. The decline rate has slowed down, and it may reach a seasonal inflection point [18] - As of the week ending October 31, US crude oil demand decreased by 843,000 barrels per day week - on - week, while gasoline demand increased by 189,000 barrels per day [22] - In September, the refinery utilization rate of 16 European countries was 82.44%, a month - on - month decrease of 4.48 percentage points, and it is expected to face downward pressure at the beginning of the fourth quarter [24] - As of November 13, the operating rate of domestic state - owned refineries was 78.31%, a decrease of 0.33 percentage points from the previous period, entering the seasonal maintenance stage. The operating rate of local independent refineries was 61.97%, a decrease of 0.97 percentage points. The operating rate of state - owned refineries is expected to decline, while local refineries are expected to operate stably [30] - As of November 14, the comprehensive refining profit of domestic state - owned refineries was 704.12 yuan/ton, a recovery of 175.13 yuan/ton from the previous period, ending the continuous decline. The comprehensive refining profit of local independent refineries was 176.59 yuan/ton, a recovery of 41.64 yuan/ton [34] Inventory - As of the week ending November 7, the US EIA crude oil inventory was 6.413 million barrels, far exceeding the expected 1.96 million barrels and the previous value of 5.202 million barrels. The strategic petroleum reserve inventory was 798,000 barrels, compared with the previous value of 498,000 barrels. EIA crude oil inventory may reach a phased inflection point [41] - As of the week ending November 7, the EIA crude oil inventory in Cushing, Oklahoma was - 346,000 barrels, and the gasoline inventory was 205 million barrels, a decrease of 9.4 million barrels from the previous period [46] Crack Spread - As of November 12, the crack spread of low - sulfur crude oil in Louisiana, US Gulf was $24.76 per barrel, showing a continuous increase. It indicates that although the refinery utilization rate has decreased, downstream consumption demand is still strong, which supports the crack spread. Attention should be paid to whether refineries will increase the utilization rate due to profit incentives [47] Market Outlook - The factors influencing crude oil remain mixed. OPEC+'s suspension of the production increase plan, geopolitical factors, and shale oil costs support the market, but OPEC's market expectation shift intensifies concerns about oversupply. The market lacks a clear driving force and is expected to continue a wide - range volatile trend. It is recommended to pay attention to the WTI crude oil price range of $57 - 62 per barrel [51]

Core Viewpoints - The aluminum market presents a complex situation with both bullish and bearish factors. Bullish factors include relatively limited domestic supply increase, tight overseas supply - demand, and certain social inventory of aluminum ingots. Bearish factors are short - term macro concerns, weakening alumina prices, and overall weak downstream consumption due to high aluminum prices [8]. - The supply of domestic bauxite is expected to recover significantly after the end of the rainy season, while the import volume of bauxite may gradually increase as the rainy season in Guinea ends [14][18]. - The supply over - capacity expectation of alumina remains unchanged, and attention should be paid to unexpected disturbances on the supply side. The production of electrolytic aluminum increased in October, and the industry's profit expanded due to cost reduction and a slight increase in aluminum prices. However, high aluminum prices have suppressed downstream consumption, leading to a slight decline in the aluminum processing start - up rate [21][25][28]. - The real estate market is in a weak state with declines in construction area, new - start area, and sales volume. In contrast, the new energy vehicle industry maintains high prosperity, which may drive the demand for aluminum [33][37]. - The inventory situation is mixed, with foreign inventory rising and domestic inventory falling. The social inventory of aluminum ingots is still at a relatively low level, providing some support for aluminum prices [40][44]. - The price of recycled aluminum is expected to be strongly volatile in the short term, and the supply of aluminum alloy is expected to decrease, with the price following the upward trend of aluminum [60][61]. Summary by Directory Report Summary - Bullish factors for aluminum include limited domestic supply increase, social inventory of aluminum ingots, and tight overseas supply - demand. Bearish factors are short - term macro concerns and weakening alumina prices [8]. - Data has dampened the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, and the US dollar index has rebounded [9]. - The supply of domestic bauxite is currently tight but is expected to recover significantly after the end of the rainy season. The import volume of bauxite decreased in September due to the rainy season in Guinea and may gradually increase later [14][18]. Data Analysis - In September, China's alumina production was 7.746 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.7% and a year - on - year increase of 12.7%.

Group 1: Report Summary - This week, coking coal and coke showed relative resilience in the black steel industry chain, maintaining a sideways oscillation. The macro - level disturbances eased, and the market gradually returned to trading based on its own fundamentals. The strong performance of coking coal was mainly driven by the rising price of thermal coal, reduced inventory pressure on mining enterprises, limited supply increase, and the expectation of winter storage, which released price elasticity. However, the decline in steel mill profitability and hot metal production restricted the upward space of coking coal prices. The short - term futures market is expected to maintain a slightly bullish oscillating trend, and attention should be paid to the rhythm and intensity of downstream winter storage. As hot metal production gradually declined, coke consumption decreased, but production also dropped, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern. The third round of coke price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss of coke enterprises, but they are still in the loss range, and the fourth round of price hikes has been initiated. High furnace material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises. Steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, limiting the profit space of coke enterprises. The subsequent price hike space of coke depends on the upward range of coking coal, and the futures market fluctuates with coking coal [6]. - As of November 4, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 59.82%, a week - on - week increase of 0.12 percentage points. The capital availability rate of non - housing construction projects was 61.22%, a week - on - week increase of 0.07 percentage points, and that of housing construction projects was 53.19%, a week - on - week increase of 0.38 percentage points. Since November 10, 2025, China has suspended the 15% additional tariff on imported coking coal from the United States, and the import tariff has dropped to 13%. Thailand has launched an anti - circumvention investigation into hot - rolled steel plates from China [7]. - Domestic coking coal supply has slightly shrunk. Upstream coking coal inventory has slightly increased, but the pressure is not significant. Independent coke enterprises have slightly replenished coking coal, while steel mills have maintained just - in - time procurement. Coke production has slightly decreased. Hot metal production has declined, leading to lower coke consumption. The third round of price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss situation [7]. Group 2: Bull - Bear Focus - Bullish factors include low inventory pressure of coking coal, strong performance of thermal coal prices, and the expectation of industry winter storage. Bearish factors are the weakening profitability of steel mills, low willingness to replenish raw material inventory, and the decline in hot metal production due to environmental protection factors [10]. Group 3: Data Analysis - As of the week of November 7, the operating rate of 523 sample mines was 83.76%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.02%, and the daily average output was 73.83 tons, a decrease of 2.01 tons. The operating rate of 314 sample coal washing plants was 37.61%, a month - on - month increase of 1.15%, and the daily average output was 27.53 tons, an increase of 1.01 tons. As of the week of November 1, the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu Port rebounded but was slightly lower than the same period last year. Overall, the supply of coking coal has limited room for increase [13]. - As of the week of November 7, the clean coal inventory of 523 sample mines was 165.59 tons, an increase of 1.06 tons; the clean coal inventory of 314 sample coal washing plants was 294.97 tons, an increase of 10.55 tons; and the port coking coal inventory was 304.27 tons, an increase of 14.12 tons. The downstream replenishment rhythm of coking coal has slowed down, and the inventory depletion rate has decreased, resulting in a slight increase in weekly inventory, but the mine inventory pressure has been significantly reduced [15]. - As of November 7, the coking coal inventory of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 1070.02 tons, an increase of 17.54 tons. The available inventory days were 12.65 days, an increase of 0.4 days compared with the previous period. The coke inventory of independent coke enterprises was 58.3 tons, a decrease of 1.57 tons. This week, the production and sales of independent coke enterprises were relatively balanced, inventory decreased, and the willingness to replenish coking coal remained, but the replenishment amplitude was narrower than before [18]. - As of November 7, the coking coal inventory of 247 steel enterprises was 787.3 tons, a decrease of 9.02 tons. The available inventory days were 12.84 days, a decrease of 0.12 days compared with the previous period. The coke inventory was 626.64 tons, a decrease of 2.41 tons compared with the previous period, and the available days were 11.07 days, a decrease of 0.5 days. Recently, the profitability of steel mills has continuously declined, and the willingness to replenish raw materials is weak, mainly for just - in - time procurement [22]. - As of November 7, the capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 72.31%, a decrease of 1.13% compared with the previous period, and the daily average output of metallurgical coke was 63.59 tons, a decrease of 1 ton compared with the previous period. The capacity utilization rate of 247 steel enterprises was 84.99%, a decrease of 0.22% compared with the previous period, and the daily average coke output was 46.09 tons, a decrease of 0.12 tons compared with the previous period. As downstream consumption weakened, coke production also decreased, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern [24]. - As of the week of November 7, China's coke consumption was 105.4 tons, a decrease of 0.96 tons. From the data of 247 steel enterprises, the daily average hot metal output was 234.22 tons, a decrease of 2.14 tons. Recently, hot metal production has gradually declined, and coke consumption has also decreased, but it is still in a relatively high range [26]. - As of November 7, the average profit per ton of coke for independent coke enterprises was a loss of 22 yuan/ton. The third round of price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss. However, high raw material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability. As of November 7, the profitability of 247 steel enterprises was 39.83%, a further decrease of 5.19% compared with the previous period. The decline in steel mill profitability will intensify the game between steel and coke enterprises, and steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, delaying the implementation of the next price hike or reducing the possibility of implementation, thus limiting the profit space of coke enterprises [28]. - The spot and futures prices of coking coal and coke maintained a slightly bullish oscillating trend [30]. Group 4: Market Outlook - The strong performance of coking coal is mainly driven by the rising price of thermal coal, reduced inventory pressure on mining enterprises, limited supply increase, and the expectation of winter storage, which releases price elasticity. However, the decline in steel mill profitability and hot metal production restricts the upward space of coking coal prices. The short - term futures market is expected to maintain a slightly bullish oscillating trend, and attention should be paid to the rhythm and intensity of downstream winter storage [33]. - As hot metal production gradually declines, coke consumption decreases, but production also drops, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern. The third round of coke price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss of coke enterprises, but they are still in the loss range, and the fourth round of price hikes has been initiated. High furnace material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises. Steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, limiting the profit space of coke enterprises. The subsequent price hike space of coke depends on the upward range of coking coal, and the futures market fluctuates with coking coal [36].

Report Information - Report Title: Spiral Ore Industry Chain Monthly Report - Report Date: October 31, 2025 - Author: Wang Nan - Company: AVIC Futures [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - In November, the key agreement between China and the US is expected to continue to boost market sentiment, and the gradual formation of the 15th Five - Year Plan in China enhances the development confidence of the ferrous metal industry. However, after the macro - level benefits are realized, the market may return to the fundamental logic. The steel market still faces high - inventory pressure, and the resolution of the inventory contradiction may depend on production cuts. The iron ore market is expected to be in high - level oscillation, with prices first falling and then rising [83][86]. Summary by Section 1. Market Review - **Steel**: In October, steel prices continued to bottom out. At the end of the month, driven by positive macro - factors such as the expectation of Sino - US talks and the release of the 15th Five - Year Plan, steel prices gradually increased. Spot prices were relatively stable, with limited demand improvement and high inventory pressure in the peak season, and the later rise was mainly driven by macro - factors and cost support. The basis declined [5]. - **Iron Ore**: In October, iron ore prices fluctuated widely, first falling and then rising. Initially, they were dragged down by weak steel demand, concerns about increased arrivals and declining hot - metal production. But in late October, with the improvement of macro - expectations, iron ore prices rebounded and showed a stronger trend. The basis returned to normal [7]. 2. Macroeconomic Analysis - **Overseas**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in October, bringing the federal funds rate target range to 3.75% - 4.00%, and decided to end the balance - sheet reduction from December 1. However, Fed Chair Powell's hawkish speech put pressure on the market, and the probability of a December interest - rate cut dropped to 67.8%. At the beginning of the month, the US federal government shutdown remained unresolved, and Sino - US trade frictions escalated, but then the two sides resumed negotiations, and the market risk appetite improved [10][11][12]. - **Domestic**: In the third quarter, China's GDP grew by 4.8% year - on - year, lower than expected. In September, the manufacturing PMI declined, indicating a weakening of domestic demand. The 15th Five - Year Plan focuses on building a modern industrial system, strengthening scientific and technological self - reliance, and expanding domestic demand, which will have a profound impact on the demand structure of bulk commodities [20][29][30]. 3. Supply - Demand Analysis **Terminal Demand** - **Real Estate**: In September, real estate investment and sales remained weak. Investment, new construction, and completion areas all declined year - on - year, and housing prices continued to fall. The 15th Five - Year Plan aims to promote the high - quality development of the real estate industry, and it is expected that housing prices will stabilize and rebound in the future [37]. - **Infrastructure**: In 2025, the growth rate of infrastructure investment continued to decline. In September, the issuance of new special bonds decreased. The 15th Five - Year Plan emphasizes the construction of a modern industrial system and the improvement of infrastructure [40]. - **Automobile**: In September, China's automobile production and sales reached a record high for the same period. New - energy vehicles were the main driving force for market growth. The joint issuance of the "Automobile Industry Stable Growth Work Plan (2025 - 2026)" by eight departments provided support for the market [43]. - **Excavator**: In September, the production of excavators continued to grow. The domestic and foreign sales of construction machinery products increased year - on - year, benefiting from the equipment replacement cycle, policy support, and improved downstream demand [46]. - **Export**: In September, China's exports increased year - on - year, mainly due to the low - base effect and global demand resilience. However, with the increase in the base in October and the uncertainty of Sino - US tariff policies, export growth may decline. Steel exports still have price advantages but face challenges from trade barriers [47][48]. **Supply - Side** - **Production**: In the first nine months of 2025, China's crude - steel and pig - iron production decreased year - on - year. In October, the blast - furnace and electric - furnace operating rates of steel mills declined, and the production of hot - rolled coils remained at a high level [52][57]. - **Profit**: Recently, the prices of furnace materials have risen, and the profitability of steel mills has declined, but they have not reached the point of active production cuts [53]. - **Inventory**: In October, the steel market was in the peak season, but inventory did not decrease effectively. After the National Day holiday, the rapid resumption of production by steel mills and the slow release of terminal demand led to a rapid increase in the inventory of five major steel products. The inventory of rebar and hot - rolled coils increased, and the inventory pressure needs to be alleviated [63]. - **Apparent Demand**: The apparent demand for rebar weakened, while that for hot - rolled coils still showed resilience [66]. - **Iron Ore Import and Shipment**: In September, China's iron - ore imports increased. In October, the global iron - ore shipment slowed down. The production and sales of the four major iron - ore mines in the third quarter were divergent, and the expected increase in the fourth quarter is limited [69][70]. - **Hot - Metal Production**: Since October, hot - metal production has declined slightly but remains at a high level. Due to the inventory accumulation of downstream steel products, there is an expectation of a further decline in hot - metal production, which may put pressure on iron - ore prices [75]. - **Inventory**: In October, port iron - ore inventory gradually accumulated, while steel - mill inventory decreased after a seasonal increase during the holiday [79]. 4. Future Outlook - **Steel**: In November, the steel market may return to the fundamental logic after the macro - level boost fades. The high - inventory problem needs to be solved, and the resolution may depend on production cuts. The demand for building materials is weak, and it is difficult to improve in the future [83]. - **Iron Ore**: In November, iron - ore prices are expected to oscillate at a high level, first falling and then rising. The market is in a state of weak supply and demand, and the downstream steel - product inventory problem may lead to a decline in hot - metal production, but the iron - ore price decline is limited, and prices may rise with the increase in winter - storage demand [86].
