Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating but gives short - term investment outlooks for individual commodities: - **Short - term bullish**: Soybean meal, rapeseed meal, palm oil [1] - **Cautiously bullish**: Cotton, red dates, live pigs [1] Core Views - **Soybean Meal**: In a large - range market due to the intersection of weak fundamentals and cost support from Sino - US trade tariffs. After the US Department of Agriculture's August supply - demand report, the final US soybean production and ending stocks decreased month - on - month. However, considering the price of Argentine soybean meal and the limited reduction in US soybean production, be cautious when chasing long positions [1]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: Supported by factors such as the expected decline in rapeseed imports from August to October, 100% import tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal, and the strength of old - crop Canadian rapeseed. But the high inventory and policy implementation may affect the market sentiment [1]. - **Palm Oil**: The biodiesel policies of Indonesia and Malaysia are favorable for market consumption expectations. Although there was profit - taking recently, the overall trend is still bullish on dips [1]. - **Cotton**: The expectation of a bumper harvest remains unchanged. The short - term focus is on the supply before the new cotton is on the market. The rapid de - stocking and the lack of import quotas support the price. With the "Golden September and Silver October" approaching, the demand is expected to improve, but the remaining upside space may be limited [1]. - **Red Dates**: There is still a large divergence in the market regarding the reduction in production. The expected total production of Xinjiang southern grey dates in the 2025/26 season is between 50 - 58 million tons. The short - term speculation around the purchase price before November is beneficial for the bullish trend [1]. - **Live Pigs**: The short - term supply pressure is high, but the long - term reduction in capacity by leading enterprises may push up the far - month contracts. The situation of "weak reality and strong expectation" is obvious, and it is recommended to establish long positions in far - month contracts on dips [1]. Summary by Commodity Soybean Meal - **Market Situation**: Futures price was 3157 yuan/ton, down 0.19% from the previous day; the national average spot price was 3118.29 yuan/ton, down 0.09%.

Cotton - **Market Situation**: The domestic Zhengzhou cotton futures prices of some contracts increased slightly, while the ICE cotton main contract decreased. The domestic spot price increased slightly [9]. - **Supply and Demand**: Internationally, the US cotton condition weakened slightly, while India's sowing area increased. Domestically, Xinjiang's new cotton production is expected to increase, and the commercial inventory decreased, providing support for the price. The downstream demand is expected to improve during the "Golden September and Silver October" [10][11]. Red Dates - **Market Situation**: The main contract CJ2601 decreased 0.74% to 11460 yuan/ton. The spot prices in most regions remained stable [13]. - **Supply and Demand**: The new - season jujubes are in the fruit - setting period. The market focuses on the weather. The estimated new - season production is expected to decrease, and the inventory reduction speed has slowed down [14]. Live Pigs - **Market Situation**: The main contract Lh2511 decreased 1.52% to 13900 yuan/ton, and the domestic spot price remained stable at 14340 yuan/ton [16]. - **Supply and Demand**: In the short term, the planned August出栏 volume increased, and the supply pressure is high. In the long term, the reduction in capacity by leading enterprises may push up the price. The current demand is in the off - season [17].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views of the Report - In the short term, the US PPI exceeding expectations has dampened interest - rate cut expectations, causing short - term declines in precious metals and base metals. However, in the long run, factors such as global monetary policy easing, central bank gold purchases, and supply - demand dynamics support the upward trend of some metals. For example, gold and silver are expected to rise in the long term, while zinc is expected to decline due to increasing supply and decreasing demand [1][3]. - For industrial silicon and polycrystalline silicon, although there are some short - term negative factors, long - term fundamentals still support a bullish view. For lithium carbonate, short - term factors such as fundamentals, funds, and sentiment support its rise [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Gold and Silver - **Market Review**: Inflation exceeding expectations again dampened interest - rate cut expectations, and with the ongoing Russia - Ukraine issue, gold and silver prices declined [2]. - **Basic Logic**: The US July PPI was far above expectations, with the year - on - year increase in July rising from 2.3% to 3.3%, the highest since February. The Fed has internal differences on interest - rate cuts. In the long term, gold will benefit from global monetary easing, the decline of the US dollar's credit, and the reconstruction of the geopolitical pattern [3]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Gold may find support around 770 in the short term, and long - term orders can be considered after stabilization. The short - term trading range for silver is 9150 - 9400, and long - term buying is supported by fundamentals and market trends [4]. Copper - **Market Review**: Shanghai copper prices declined under pressure, breaking through the 79,000 - yuan mark [6]. - **Industrial Logic**: Copper concentrate supply remains tight, and although refined copper production is at a high level, it may decline marginally. Currently in the consumption off - season, demand will gradually pick up with the approaching peak season. Overseas copper inventories are slightly increasing, while domestic social inventories are relatively tight, and the copper market is in a tight balance throughout the year [6]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: The US July PPI exceeded expectations, weakening interest - rate cut expectations. With overseas inventory accumulation in the off - season and relatively tight domestic social inventories, copper prices are expected to have limited downward adjustment. Enterprises can actively arrange short - hedging positions at high prices. In the long term, copper prices are expected to rise [7]. Zinc - **Market Review**: Shanghai zinc prices were in a narrow - range consolidation, with long and short forces in a stalemate [9]. - **Industrial Logic**: In 2025, zinc concentrate supply is abundant, and domestic refined zinc production is increasing. In the demand side, affected by tariffs and the off - season, the start - up rate of galvanizing enterprises is expected to decline. Domestic inventories are increasing, while overseas LME zinc inventories are decreasing, with a risk of soft squeeze [9]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see for more macro - level guidance. In the long term, short - selling opportunities can be considered when prices are high [10]. Aluminum - **Market Review**: Aluminum prices faced pressure in rebounding, and alumina prices rebounded and then declined [12]. - **Industrial Logic**: For electrolytic aluminum, the cost has decreased, inventories are rising, and the downstream industry is weak. For alumina, overseas bauxite shipments are smooth, and domestic production capacity is increasing, with a loose supply - demand situation in the short term [13]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: It is recommended to take short - selling opportunities during rebounds for Shanghai aluminum, and pay attention to inventory accumulation during the off - season [14]. Nickel - **Market Review**: Nickel prices declined under pressure, and stainless steel prices were also under pressure [16]. - **Industrial Logic**: Overseas nickel ore prices are weak, and domestic refined nickel production is increasing slightly. Stainless steel production cuts are weakening, and inventory pressure may reappear [17]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: It is recommended to take short - selling opportunities during rebounds for nickel and stainless steel, and pay attention to downstream inventory changes [18]. Lithium Carbonate - **Market Review**: The main contract LC2511 first rose and then fell, and finally closed slightly higher [20]. - **Industrial Logic**: Although domestic weekly production has reached a new high, inventory has only increased slightly, indicating that terminal demand is about to enter the peak season. Supply - side rumors of production halts may lead to a short - term supply - demand mismatch [21]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: With the continued speculation of supply - side production halts, long positions can be held in the range of 84,000 - 86,500 [22].

It is recommended to short on rebounds in the short - term, paying attention to the inventory accumulation progress [1][14][15] - Nickel price rebounds and then falls. With the slowdown of downstream production cuts, it is recommended to short on rebounds, paying attention to downstream inventory changes [1][18][19] - Lithium carbonate demand is about to enter the peak season. With supply - side speculation, there may be a short - term supply - demand mismatch, and long positions should be held [1][22][23] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Gold and Silver Market Review - After the impact of tariffs fades and with the ongoing Russia - Ukraine issue and impending US interest rate cuts, gold prices consolidate after a decline, and silver rebounds after stopping the decline [2] Basic Logic - Japan may raise interest rates in October. The US is likely to cut interest rates in September. Long - term gold will benefit from global monetary easing, declining US dollar credit, and geopolitical restructuring [3] Strategy Recommendation - Gold may be supported around 770 in the short - term, and long positions can be considered after stabilization.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Steel Products (including rebar and hot-rolled coil)**: Cautiously bullish [1] - **Iron Ore**: Short-term long participation [1] - **Coke**: Cautiously bullish [1] - **Coking Coal**: Cautiously bullish [1] - **Ferroalloys (including ferromanganese and ferrosilicon)**: Cautiously bullish [1] Core Views - **Steel Products**: The steel market shows obvious off-season characteristics and is expected to fluctuate within a range. For rebar, the profit of blast furnaces is still good, and the profit of electric furnaces has improved. Steel mills are highly motivated to produce, and hot metal production is at a high level. However, the demand side is still weak, and the trading volume of construction steel is hovering at a low level. The incomplete implementation of production restriction policies during the military parade supports the expectation of supply contraction, and raw material prices also bring disturbances. For hot-rolled coil, the production and apparent demand have decreased month-on-month, inventory has slightly increased, and the fundamentals are relatively stable. The export profit has significantly declined, which may affect future exports [1][3][4]. - **Iron Ore**: The fundamentals show a decline in hot metal production. Both port and steel mill inventories have increased. The restocking of steel mills with low inventories has led to a firming of prices in the short term. Under the influence of fundamentals, iron ore prices are strong [1][7][8]. - **Coke**: Coke prices have had six rounds of increases, and the profit of coke enterprises has continued to improve. Some regions have announced production restriction policies during the military parade, which may lead to a certain contraction in supply. Currently, the supply and demand of coke are generally balanced, and production and inventory are relatively stable. In the medium term, raw material prices may still be supported by production restriction and reduction news and maintain a strong trend. In the short term, the current price is relatively high, and the exchange has introduced trading restrictions on coking coal, so there may be a short-term correction [1][10][11]. - **Coking Coal**: Domestically, coking coal production has remained flat month-on-month, and the absolute level is lower than that of the same period last year. The customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal has increased significantly recently. The total inventory at the mine end has stopped decreasing month-on-month, and the transfer speed to downstream has slowed down. The absolute level of hot metal production is still high, and raw material demand is relatively stable. Recent news of coal mine production restrictions still supports the market, and the medium-term trend may remain strong. However, the exchange has restricted the trading limit of the 01 contract and increased the intraday speculative handling fee, which may lead to a certain decline in market sentiment. There is a risk of short-term market fluctuations [1][13][14]. - **Ferroalloys**: For ferromanganese, the supply-demand contradiction is not prominent, and the operating rate has increased in some production areas due to profit restoration. A new round of demand has been concentratedly released, and the inquiry price for ferromanganese tender by a representative steel mill in August is 6,000 yuan/ton (acceptance), an increase of 150 yuan/ton compared to July. For ferrosilicon, the fundamentals have weakened, factory inventories have continued to increase significantly, and delivery inventories are at a high level compared to the same period. The tender price of a representative steel mill for ferrosilicon in August is 6,030 yuan/ton, an increase of 430 yuan/ton compared to the previous round [1][16][17]. Summary by Variety Steel Products - **Rebar**: Currently in a neutral position, short-term market conditions are prone to fluctuations. The expected price range is [3,190, 3,250] [1][4][5]. - **Hot-rolled Coil**: Currently in a neutral position, short-term market conditions may fluctuate. The expected price range is [3,410, 3,470] [1][4][5]. Iron Ore - The price is expected to be strong, and short-term long participation is recommended. The expected price range is [780, 815] [1][7][8]. Coke - Cautiously bullish. In the short term, it is advisable to wait and see due to potential price corrections. The expected price range is [1,710, 1,760] [1][10][11]. Coking Coal - Cautiously bullish. In the short term, pay attention to the risk of market fluctuations and wait and see. The expected price range is [1,200, 1,260] [1][13][14]. Ferroalloys - **Ferromanganese**: Cautiously bullish. Continue to pay attention to the performance of coking coal and coke. The expected price range is [5,954, 6,194] [1][16][17]. - **Ferrosilicon**: Cautiously bullish. In the short term, the price is supported by market sentiment, but in the medium term, the price may be under pressure. The expected price range is [5,675, 5,965] [1][16][17].
