Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Report's Core View - In August, the three major rubber futures contracts showed a slightly stronger trend with limited gains due to minor improvements in the rubber's fundamentals and a relatively warm macro - environment. The cost of rubber is supported by weather, and the inventory has a slight structural improvement. The downstream tire demand has resilience, but the fundamental contradictions are not obvious, and the price will fluctuate within a range, with external macro - disturbances likely to widen the price fluctuation range [6][27] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - In August, the main contracts of natural rubber (RU), 20 - numbered rubber (NR), and synthetic rubber (BR) had monthly increases of 3.12%, 3.04%, and 3.66% respectively, with corresponding increases in positions of 56,608 lots, 5,873 lots, and 19,561 lots. The domestic stock market rose unilaterally in August, and the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation increased. The cost of rubber was supported by weather, the monthly rubber inventory decreased slightly, and the downstream tire demand had resilience [6] 2. Data Analysis - **Raw material prices**: As of August 28, the glue price in Thailand was 55.45 Thai baht/kg, the cup - glue price was 50.7 Thai baht/kg, the glue price in Yunnan, China was 14,300 yuan/ton, and the raw material price in Hainan was 13,200 yuan/ton. The raw material prices in major producing areas were firm, and the cost support would remain in September due to weather affecting the peak - season output [8] - **Imports**: In July 2025, China's natural rubber imports were 47.48 tons, a month - on - month increase of 2.47% and a year - on - year decrease of 1.91%. From January to July 2025, the cumulative imports were 360.05 tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 21.82%. Thailand's exports decreased significantly, while Vietnam and Laos had obvious increases. Vietnam became the second - largest source country [10] - **Inventory**: As of August 22, the spot inventory in Qingdao Free Trade Zone, general trade spot inventory, and domestic third - party inventory all decreased slightly compared to the beginning of the month but were higher than the same period last year. The overall inventory had a slight structural improvement but still faced greater pressure than last year [13] - **Raw material and production cost**: In August, the domestic butadiene price fluctuated within a narrow range. The theoretical production loss of butadiene rubber enterprises was 240.4286 yuan/ton, and the loss range fluctuated within a narrow range [15] - **Butadiene rubber inventory**: As of August 29, the total inventory of butadiene rubber sample production and trading enterprises was 3.172 tons, with a small change from the beginning of the month but an increase of 7,370 tons compared to last year. The inventory removal was under pressure due to increased supply [18] - **Tire exports**: In July 2025, the export volume of China's truck and bus tires reached 45.44 tons, breaking the monthly record for the third time this year. The export volume of passenger car tires was 32.59 tons, a month - on - month increase of 16.78% and a year - on - year increase of 7.20%. However, the export pressure is expected to increase in the fourth quarter [19] - **Tire inventory**: As of the end of August, the inventory turnover days of all - steel tires were about 39 days, 4 days less than last year, with good inventory removal. The inventory turnover days of semi - steel tires were about 46 days, 4 days more than last year, with slow inventory removal [21] - **Tire capacity utilization**: As of August 29, the capacity utilization rate of all - steel tire sample enterprises was 64.89%, a 5.63% increase from the beginning of the month and a 5.1% increase year - on - year. The capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tire sample enterprises was 70.97%, with little change from the beginning of the month but an 8.73% decrease year - on - year [23] 3. Future Outlook - The macro - environment has limited impact on the commodity market, and the actual improvement of terminal demand needs further observation. The rubber cost is supported by weather, the inventory has a slight structural improvement, and the downstream tire demand may be boosted in the "Golden September and Silver October" season. However, whether the supply - demand relationship can be substantially improved depends on the recovery of downstream demand and inventory removal speed [27]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short term, geopolitical uncertainties are the core factors disturbing the oil market, while the weakening fundamentals of crude oil are suppressing the price. In the medium to long term, the dual pressure of OPEC+ accelerating production increase and structural demand slowdown restricts the upward space of oil prices, but shale oil costs provide support. The oil price is expected to continue a wide - range oscillating trend. It is recommended to focus on the WTI crude oil price range of $59 - 66 per barrel, and consider short - selling if geopolitical risks are effectively alleviated [6][55]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - In August, crude oil prices first declined and then rose, showing a weak trend overall. The decline was due to the easing of geopolitical tensions and the expectation of supply increase and demand decrease, while the subsequent rise was supported by shale oil costs and renewed geopolitical disturbances. In the future, considering the supply - demand situation, the oil price is expected to oscillate widely [6]. 2. Macroeconomic Analysis - **Geopolitical Factors**: The "Putin - Trump meeting" in early August alleviated supply concerns and reduced the risk premium of crude oil. Trump's subsequent threat of sanctions on Russia reignited supply concerns, but the market is desensitized, and the oil price rebound space is limited. The Russia - Ukraine conflict is difficult to resolve in the short term, and geopolitical uncertainties will continuously interfere with the supply expectation [7]. - **Economic Data**: The US July non - farm payrolls data was lower than expected, and the data for May and June were revised downwards. The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September increased. The July CPI data was generally in line with expectations. Powell's dovish speech at the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting further increased the market's expectation of interest rate cuts, but the market has basically priced in the rate cut, so its impact on the market may be limited [10][13]. - **Fed Personnel Changes**: Trump removed Fed Governor Lisa Cook from office, and Cook filed a lawsuit. The impact of these personnel changes on the Fed's monetary policy remains to be seen [13]. 3. Supply - Demand Analysis - **Supply Side** - **OPEC+**: OPEC+ will continue to increase production by 547,000 barrels per day in September, completing the 2.2 million barrels per day production recovery target one year ahead of schedule. The market has fully priced in the production increase, and attention should be paid to the actual increase in production in the future. Kazakhstan failed to effectively implement production cuts in July, which may lead to concerns about an internal price war within OPEC+ [15][16][17]. - **Non - OPEC**: In July, non - OPEC crude oil production increased, mainly due to Russia's production increase. The US crude oil production also rebounded in August, but the increase in production is limited due to various factors. The number of US oil rigs decreased, indicating weak production willingness [24][26][28]. - **Demand Side** - **China**: In July, China's apparent crude oil consumption decreased by 2.71% month - on - month. The growth rate of China's crude oil demand may slow down in the future, and the growth of crude oil consumption will be more driven by chemical demand. The manufacturing PMI in July decreased, indicating a slowdown in manufacturing activity [34][40]. - **US**: As of August 22, the US refinery utilization rate decreased, and the manufacturing PMI decreased in July, while the Chicago PMI rebounded. The US EIA crude oil inventory decreased slightly, but the decline was less than in previous years. With the end of the peak consumption season for refined oil, the demand for crude oil may weaken seasonally [41][45][50].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The coking coal market is in a stage of "strong expectation, weak reality", with the disk continuing the "Contango" structure. The short - term price of coking coal will mainly fluctuate and consolidate at a high level. The coke market has intensified the game between steel and coke enterprises, and the short - term coke disk will fluctuate following coking coal [32][35] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Market Review - In August, the double - coke disk reached a stage high and then fluctuated weakly. Before the position limit of the 01 contract by the exchange, the trading volume of coking coal soared. After the position limit, the trading volume decreased and the disk volatility narrowed. As the speculative sentiment cooled and the 09 contract was about to enter the delivery month, the market trading gradually returned to reality. Although the procurement willingness of steel mills, coking enterprises and spot - futures traders weakened and the inventory showed a small accumulation inflection point, the high - level iron - water production supported the consumption of double - coke, and the price decline space was limited. The overall price fluctuated within a range in August [7] 2. Data Analysis Coking Coal Supply - As of the week of August 29, the operating rate of 314 sample coal washing plants was 36.52%, a year - on - year decrease of 2.31%, and the daily output of clean coal was 25.98 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.72 tons.

Future Market Outlook - The coking coal market is in a stage of "strong expectation, weak reality". The short - term price will mainly fluctuate and consolidate at a high level. Pay attention to the incremental situation on the supply side after the parade [32] - The profits of coking enterprises have improved significantly. The game between steel and coke enterprises has intensified. The short - term coke disk will fluctuate following coking coal [35]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - In August, the asphalt market showed a situation of weak supply and demand. The weakening asphalt cracking spread led to a decline in production, and heavy rainfall affected terminal construction, keeping social inventory at a high level. Geopolitical factors drove oil prices, but the market was desensitized to unfulfilled sanctions. With the asphalt demand ending and no seasonal increase in supply, the market lacks clear direction. The asphalt price is expected to fluctuate around crude oil, with limited upside potential for oil prices due to long - term supply surplus expectations, but supported by shale oil costs and geopolitical disturbances. The price is expected to continue a wide - range oscillatory trend, and the BU2510 contract can be monitored in the range of 3400 - 3630 yuan/ton [68]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - In August, the asphalt futures price showed a weakening trend. The asphalt fundamentals had characteristics of increasing supply and decreasing demand. The output increased with the rising refinery operating rate, while demand weakened due to heavy rainfall. The social inventory remained at a high level, and the weakening fundamentals and downward cost drivers jointly led to the weakening of the asphalt futures price [6]. 3.2 Macroeconomic Analysis - **Geopolitical Factors**: The US - Russia "Putin - Trump meeting" in August initially alleviated market concerns about supply shortages, causing the risk premium of crude oil to decline rapidly. Subsequently, Trump's threat of sanctions reignited market concerns about supply disruptions, supporting oil prices to some extent. However, due to the non - implementation of previous sanctions, the market was desensitized, and the upside space for oil prices was limited. The Russia - Ukraine conflict is difficult to resolve in the short term, and geopolitical uncertainties will continuously interfere with crude oil supply expectations [8]. - **US Economic Data**: The US July non - farm payrolls data was lower than expected, and the data for May and June were revised downward. After the release of the employment data, the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates at the next meeting increased. The July CPI data was generally in line with expectations, with the core CPI reaching the highest level since February [11]. 3.3 Supply and Demand Analysis - **OPEC+**: OPEC+ will continue to increase production in September, with a production adjustment of 547,000 barrels per day. The market has fully priced in the production increase, but the focus is on the speed and scale of implementation. It is expected that the production increase will be realized by the end of the fourth quarter. Kazakhstan failed to effectively implement production cuts in July, which may lead to the ineffectiveness of the production cut agreement among OPEC+ members and raise concerns about internal price wars [13][14][15]. - **Supply Forecasts by Institutions**: In August, IEA, EIA, and OPEC had different views on global crude oil supply and demand growth expectations. IEA raised the supply growth forecast by 400,000 barrels per day and lowered the demand growth forecast by 19,000 barrels per day, holding a pessimistic outlook. EIA and OPEC maintained their previous forecasts, expecting an improvement in demand due to the easing of global trade tensions [17]. - **Domestic Asphalt Supply**: In August, the domestic asphalt cumulative output was 2.45 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 100,000 tons, or 3.9%. The operating rate of domestic asphalt sample enterprises was 29.3% as of August 27th, a decrease of 1.4 percentage points from the previous statistical period and 3.7 percentage points from the same period last month. The decline in cracking spread and heavy rainfall affected refinery production and operating rates [20][29]. - **Domestic Asphalt Demand**: In August, the domestic asphalt shipment volume was 1.79 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 77,000 tons. The weekly shipment volume increased after the rainfall ended. As of August 29th, the weekly capacity utilization rate of domestic modified asphalt was 17.14%, a month - on - month increase of 0.9 percentage points, but the long - term demand growth space is limited [30][33]. - **Trade**: In July, the domestic asphalt imports were 380,500 tons, a month - on - month increase of 4,800 tons and a year - on - year increase of 16.53%. The cumulative imports from January to July were 2.1055 million tons, a cumulative year - on - year decrease of 7.50%. The exports in July were 55,700 tons, a month - on - month increase of 26,200 tons. The cumulative exports from January to July were 334,900 tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 46.45% [40][43]. - **Inventory**: As of August 29th, the factory inventory of domestic asphalt sample enterprises was 674,000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 42,000 tons and a decrease of 26,000 tons from the same period last month. The social inventory was 1.27 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 22,000 tons and a decrease of 73,000 tons from the same period last month. The social inventory was still at a high level [52][59]. - **Price Spreads**: As of August 29th, the weekly profit of domestic asphalt processing dilution was - 593.1 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 118.4 yuan/ton. The asphalt basis was 197 yuan/ton, and as of August 25th, the asphalt - to - crude oil ratio was 54.25. The asphalt cracking spread showed a narrow - range oscillation, and the basis first weakened and then strengthened, indicating weak demand support for prices [66]. 3.4 Market Outlook - In August, the domestic asphalt market had a weak supply - demand situation. The market is expected to continue to fluctuate around crude oil prices, with a wide - range oscillatory trend. The BU2510 contract can be monitored in the range of 3400 - 3630 yuan/ton [68].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply of platinum and palladium is highly concentrated and growth - restricted. Their prices depend on real supply - demand patterns and speculative activities. The demand for both has declined from historical highs, with platinum's demand being slightly better than palladium's in recent years. In 2025, there will be a supply - demand gap for platinum and a surplus for palladium. Platinum prices are expected to strengthen, while palladium may continue to face pressure [94][96][98]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Basic Concepts - Platinum is a rare noble metal with high stability, corrosion resistance, and good ductility. It is often associated with other metals in the platinum - group. Palladium, discovered in 1803, has unique physical and chemical properties, high catalytic activity, and is widely used in environmental protection, medical treatment, and other fields. After heat treatment, it becomes soft and malleable, and can be slowly dissolved in certain acids [4][8]. - Palladium's various properties make it widely used in different fields. It is used as a catalyst in the chemical industry, for hydrogen storage and sensing, in electronic components, and forms alloys for jewelry and other industrial applications [10]. 3.2 Supply and Demand 3.2.1 Platinum Supply - The platinum industry chain includes upstream mines, where low - grade ores are refined into products like platinum ingots and sponge platinum. In the middle - stream, it is used to make catalysts, compounds, electrodes, etc. Downstream applications are in jewelry, investment, the automotive industry, and the hydrogen industry [13]. - The supply of platinum is mainly from mines, with South Africa accounting for over 70% of global reserves. Recycling is also an important source, which consists of scrap - car catalyst recycling, jewelry recycling, and industrial recycling. In 2024, the recycling supply was 47.6 tons, up 1% from 2023, and is expected to reach 48.9 tons in 2025. However, global platinum supply is still restricted, with a projected 4% decline in 2025 [15][17][21]. 3.2.2 Platinum Demand - In the past five years, the automotive sector has had the highest demand for platinum (37%), followed by industry (31%), jewelry (26%), and investment (6%). The automotive demand for platinum depends on factors such as the number of vehicles, vehicle size, and power - system trends. Global automotive platinum demand decreased by 2% in 2024 to 96.6 tons and is expected to decline by another 2% in 2025 to 94.9 tons [24]. - In the industrial field, platinum is used in five main areas: chemical (28% average weight in the past five years), glass (24%), medical (12%), petroleum (7%), and electronics (5%). The demand from the fixed - hydrogen and other areas is expected to grow by 35% in 2025 to 1.8 tons, while the other industrial demand is expected to slightly decline by 1% to 17.7 tons [26][31][39]. - Platinum jewelry demand is relatively stable in the past 10 years, with different trends in different regions. Its demand is driven by economic growth, social changes, consumption habits, and price changes [42][43]. - Platinum investment demand includes physical and virtual forms. Chinese physical investment demand has been increasing, and European platinum ETFs have the largest持仓 [65][66]. 3.2.3 Palladium Supply - The palladium industry chain involves upstream mining and smelting, mainly in South Africa and Russia, mid - stream processing into compounds and catalysts, and downstream recycling. The main palladium deposits are in South Africa, Russia, etc. The global annual palladium production is about 190 tons, with South Africa and Russia accounting for 38.1% and 39.6% respectively. In 2024, the global palladium recycling volume was about 83.35 tons, accounting for 30.6% of the total supply [44][49][52]. 3.2.4 Palladium Demand - In 2024, the main demand for palladium was from automotive catalysts (82.3%), followed by chemical (5.4%), dental (1.8%), etc. It is mainly used in gasoline - powered vehicle catalysts to reduce emissions, with about 80% used in automotive three - way catalysts. China, Europe, Japan, and North America are major demand regions [55][56]. - Palladium's industrial demand has declined from 25% in 2010 to about 11% currently. It is widely used in various industrial fields and is crucial for the hydrogen industry [57]. - Palladium jewelry demand is low, accounting for about 0.8% of the total demand. Its investment demand includes bars, coins, and ETFs, but the scale of the well - known palladium ETF has decreased significantly [61][68]. 3.3 Interpretation of Platinum and Palladium Futures Contracts (Draft for Soliciting Opinions) - The Guangzhou Futures Exchange has released a draft for platinum and palladium futures contracts. The draft has adjusted some details compared to the previous design. The price limits and margin requirements are set higher than those of gold and silver futures to cover price fluctuations [70][71]. - The futures use a three - stage gradient margin system. The price limit for normal months is 4%, and for delivery months, it is 6% [74][77]. - The exchange innovatively includes ingots, sponge, and powder forms of platinum and palladium in the delivery. The delivery unit is 1000 grams per hand. The delivery place may be concentrated in mining areas, recycling areas, and southeastern coastal cities [84][85][90]. 3.4 Future Outlook - The supply of platinum and palladium is concentrated and growth - restricted. The demand has declined from historical highs. In 2025, platinum will have a supply - demand gap, while palladium will have a surplus. Platinum prices are expected to strengthen, and palladium may face pressure [94][96][98].

1. Report Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The Shanghai aluminum market is expected to oscillate, with attention on the 20,500 support level of the 60 - day average line. The market is influenced by factors such as the Fed's interest - rate decision, domestic economic policies, and the supply - demand relationship in the aluminum industry [5]. - The traditional peak season is expected to drive marginal improvement in some sectors of the aluminum processing industry, but the overall terminal demand has not fully recovered [34]. - The profit of domestic electrolytic aluminum is expected to remain above 3,000 yuan/ton in the second half of the year, with limited growth in production and low inventory providing support [31]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Report Summary - The US economic data shows strong resilience, with the manufacturing PMI in August reaching the highest level since May 2022. The Fed's decision on interest rates and the impact of tariffs on inflation are the focus of the market. The domestic economy is relatively stable, and the implementation of stable - growth policies continues [9][11][15]. - The domestic aluminum market is affected by various factors such as supply - demand relationship, policies, and international economic situation. The traditional peak season is expected to drive marginal improvement in demand, but the overall recovery is still weak [34]. 3.2 Multi - empty Focus - **Bullish factors**: The expected improvement in demand in the US manufacturing industry and the implementation of domestic stable - growth policies are expected to boost aluminum consumption. The low inventory of electrolytic aluminum also provides support for prices [9][15][31]. - **Bearish factors**: The expected oversupply of alumina, the weak downstream demand in the off - season, and the potential impact of the US steel and aluminum tariff increase on market sentiment [24][37][17]. 3.3 Data Analysis - **Aluminum ore**: In 2025, from January to July, the domestic aluminum ore production increased year - on - year. The import volume of bauxite from Guinea has been at a high level, but the rainy season in Guinea has affected the shipment volume. The supply of alumina is expected to be in surplus, and the production of electrolytic aluminum has limited growth space [19][23][25]. - **Downstream demand**: The overall operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises increased slightly this week. The output of aluminum products in July decreased month - on - month and year - on - year. The automobile industry maintained high prosperity, while the real estate market continued to decline [34][37][41]. - **Inventory**: The inventory of LME aluminum remained stable, while the inventory of SHFE aluminum decreased this week. The social inventory of aluminum ingots decreased slightly, and the inventory of aluminum alloy increased slightly [47][50][61]. - **Price**: The domestic spot aluminum price changed from flat to premium, and the LME aluminum discount narrowed [52]. 3.4 Market Outlook - The Shanghai aluminum market is expected to oscillate, with attention on the 20,500 support level of the 60 - day average line. The market will continue to be affected by factors such as the Fed's interest - rate decision, domestic economic policies, and the supply - demand relationship in the aluminum industry [66].

Report Summary - The double - coking futures market showed weak consolidation this week. Trading volume decreased by 3.788 million lots compared to last week. After the exchange restricted positions and raised trading fees, the trading volume of the coking coal main contract dropped significantly, and speculative sentiment cooled down. The "anti - involution" related varieties also cooled down. The market gradually returned to reality. Steel mills and spot - futures traders' purchasing willingness weakened. Independent coking enterprises' coke inventory increased from a decline, and the raw material coking coal inventory continued to be destocked for three weeks with weak restocking enthusiasm. The upstream inventory destocking rate slowed down, and a small inventory accumulation inflection point affected market sentiment. However, the profitability rate of steel enterprises fluctuated at a high level, billet export data was excellent, and hot metal production remained at a high level, supporting the consumption of double - coking. The overall upstream coking coal inventory was lower than last year, reducing inventory pressure. Due to the approaching "93 Parade" and industry production restrictions, the market lacked new driving factors and mainly oscillated at a high level [6][35]. - As of August 19, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 58.79%, a week - on - week increase of 0.02 percentage points. Non - housing project capital availability rate was 60.47%, up 0.12 percentage points week - on - week, while housing project capital availability rate was 50.57%, down 0.60 percentage points week - on - week. 45% of 22 Tangshan steel mills plan to conduct maintenance but await notice, 32% have confirmed maintenance, and 23% will not conduct maintenance. The known daily hot metal impact in Tangshan is about 41,800 tons, with a total hot metal volume of 370,000 - 450,000 tons. In July, the domestic billet export volume was 1.5798 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 34.37% and a year - on - year increase of 349.07%. From January to July, the total billet export volume was 7.472 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 309.72%. The US added 407 product categories to the steel and aluminum tariff list with a 50% tax rate [7]. - The supply of coking coal increased slightly. The upstream coking coal inventory destocking slowed down. Independent coking enterprises' coking coal restocking enthusiasm continued to weaken, and their coke inventory increased from a decline. Steel mills' restocking willingness for coking coal and coke was divided. The overall coke production changed little. Hot metal production remained high, and coke demand was resilient. The seventh round of coke price increase was implemented with a delay [7]. Bull - Bear Focus - Bullish factors include reduced coking coal inventory pressure, expected supply reduction of coking coal, and high - level hot metal production supporting demand [10]. - Bearish factors include the slowdown of coking coal downstream restocking rhythm and the gradual recovery of Mongolian coal imports [10]. Data Analysis Coking Coal Supply - The operating rate of 523 sample mines was 85.21%, a 1.48% increase from last week, and the daily average clean coal output was 771,300 tons, an increase of 7,200 tons. The operating rate of 314 sample coal washing plants was 36.05%, a 0.46% decrease from last week, and the daily output was 257,200 tons, a decrease of 6,800 tons. As of August 16, the customs clearance volume at the Ganqimao Port was 870,885 tons, and domestic supply increased slightly [15]. Coking Coal Inventory - As of August 22, the clean coal inventory of 523 sample mines was 2.7564 million tons, an increase of 179,700 tons. The clean coal inventory of 314 sample coal washing plants was 2.9484 million tons, a decrease of 21,900 tons. The port coking coal inventory was 2.6149 million tons, an increase of 60,000 tons. The downstream restocking rhythm continued to slow down, and mines had inventory accumulation for two consecutive weeks, but the overall inventory pressure was not large [17]. Independent Coking Enterprises - As of August 22, the coking coal inventory of all - sample independent coking enterprises was 9.6641 million tons, a decrease of 104,700 tons. The inventory available days were 11.1 days, a decrease of 0.13 days. The coke inventory was 643,700 tons, an increase of 18,600 tons. Steel mills and spot - futures traders' purchasing willingness weakened, and coking enterprises' coking coal inventory was destocked for three weeks with weak restocking enthusiasm [18]. Steel Mills - As of August 22, the coking coal inventory of 247 steel enterprises was 8.1231 million tons, an increase of 65,100 tons. The inventory available days were 13.07 days, an increase of 0.1 days. The coke inventory was 6.0959 million tons, a decrease of 2,100 tons. The available days were 10.76 days, a decrease of 0.07 days. Steel mills' restocking enthusiasm for coke was weaker than that for coking coal [22]. Coke Production - As of August 22, the capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coking enterprises was 74.42%, a 0.08% increase from the previous period, and the daily average metallurgical coke output was 654,500 tons, an increase of 700 tons. The capacity utilization rate of 247 steel enterprises was 86.17%, and the daily coke output was 467,300 tons, the same as last week. Coking enterprise output increased slightly for 6 consecutive weeks, and steel mill output was stable [24]. Coke Demand - As of August 22, China's coke consumption was 1.0834 million tons, an increase of 400 tons. The daily average hot metal output of 247 steel enterprises was 2.4075 million tons, an increase of 900 tons. The profitability rate of steel enterprises was 64.94%, a 0.86% decrease from last week. High - level profitability prevented active production cuts, and high - level hot metal production supported coke consumption [29]. Coke Price Increase - As of August 22, the average profit per ton of independent coking enterprises was 23 yuan/ton, and the profit situation continued to improve. On the 22nd, steel mills in Shandong and Hebei markets raised the coke purchase price. The wet - quenched coke increased by 50 yuan/ton, and the dry - quenched coke increased by 55 yuan/ton. The seventh - round price increase was implemented with a delay, and the game between steel and coking enterprises intensified [30]. Double - Coking Basis Structure - The spot and futures prices of double - coking oscillated at a high level [32]. Market Outlook - The trading volume decreased by 3.788 million lots compared to last week. After the exchange's measures, the trading volume of the coking coal main contract dropped, and speculative sentiment cooled down. The market returned to reality, with weak restocking enthusiasm and a slowdown in upstream inventory destocking. However, high - level steel enterprise profitability, excellent billet export data, and high - level hot metal production supported double - coking consumption. Due to the approaching "93 Parade" and production restrictions, the market lacked new driving factors and mainly oscillated at a high level [35]. - The seventh - round coke price increase was implemented with a delay. As coking enterprise profitability improved, rising raw material prices eroded steel mill profits, and the game between the two intensified. Independent coking enterprises' coke inventory pressure decreased, and in the short term, the coke futures market would follow the coking coal market [38].

Report Summary - The report is an asphalt weekly report from AVIC Futures dated August 22, 2025 [2] - The main view is that this week, the asphalt fundamentals continued the characteristics of weak supply and demand. The supply - side weekly output and operating rate decreased, and the demand - side shipment volume decreased slightly. The refinery inventory still showed a slight accumulation, while the social inventory decreased. The crude oil price is expected to fluctuate widely in the short term, and the asphalt price is dominated by crude oil fluctuations. It is recommended to track geopolitical changes [6][62] - The trading strategy suggests paying attention to the range of 3450 - 3600 yuan/ton for the BU2510 contract [6] Multi - empty Focus - Bullish factors for asphalt include low refinery inventory and marginal macro - improvement [9] - Bearish factors include lower - than - expected demand and insufficient upward drive on the cost side [9] Macroeconomic Analysis - The results of the meetings between the US and Russia, and the US and European countries basically met market expectations, and geopolitical risks weakened. However, the progress of Russia - Ukraine negotiations still needs to be tracked [10] - The risk of "secondary tariffs" has subsided. Trump said he would not impose secondary tariffs on China for the time being, and India decided to continue buying Russian oil [11] Data Analysis Supply - As of August 22, the domestic asphalt weekly output was 548,000 tons, a decrease of 40,000 tons from last week.
