1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Bean Meal**: It is expected to show a large - range oscillation. The domestic soybean and bean meal are in the inventory - accumulation stage until the end of September, with the inventory - accumulation speed in August expected to slow down compared to July. The Sino - US trade tariff is the key cost support for bean meal. After the latest Sino - US negotiation result, the original tariff rate is maintained and extended for 90 days. Under the cost - support expectation, the domestic bean meal price rebounded. With the combination of weak fundamentals and cost support, it presents a large - range market [1][2][3]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: It is expected to have a large - range oscillation. The global rapeseed output has recovered year - on - year, but there is dry soil moisture in some areas of Canadian rapeseed. The domestic rapeseed and rapeseed meal inventories of oil mills are decreasing month - on - month, but still at a relatively high level year - on - year. From July to September, the rapeseed import decreased significantly year - on - year, and the 100% import tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal and the strength of old - crop Canadian rapeseed support the price, while the improving import profit of Canadian rapeseed exerts upward pressure. The low spot price difference between bean meal and rapeseed meal reduces the feed addition of rapeseed meal. Yesterday, rapeseed meal followed the price of bean meal and continued to rebound [1][4][6]. - **Palm Oil**: Be cautious about chasing long positions. After a series of previous positive factors, the market lacks more positive drivers, and Malaysian palm oil may return to the July supply - demand fundamentals. Based on the production and export data from the first 25 days of July, there is a possibility of inventory accumulation in July. In the next one to two weeks, the price may need to adjust, and opportunities to go long after the price stabilizes can be considered [1][7][9]. - **Cotton**: Be cautiously bearish. The soil moisture in the main cotton - producing areas of the US has slightly deteriorated, but the new cotton growth is still good. The weekly export has weakened significantly, suppressing the upward movement of the market. In China, the actual sown area and yield per unit of new cotton have increased, pushing up the guaranteed output. The commercial inventory is decreasing rapidly, but the replenishment of downstream finished products has slowed down recently, weakening the cotton - using expectation. The orders of textile enterprises have reached a five - year low, and the operating rate is gradually decreasing. The negative feedback of demand on the inventory - reduction logic is gradually reflected in the market [1][10][13]. - **Red Dates**: Be cautiously bearish. The growth of new - season jujube trees is relatively good. The market previously expected a significant decline in production due to the "alternate - bearing" phenomenon, but there are no obvious signs of significant production reduction in the second and third - crop fruit - setting in the producing areas. The self - regulatory statement of some enterprises in the industry is difficult to promote widely. With weak fundamentals, there is great pressure for the price to rise after filling the gap. Opportunities to short at high prices after the price rebounds driven by macro - sentiment can be considered [1][15][16]. - **Live Pigs**: Be cautiously bullish. The risk of second - fattening selling has been realized, and the accelerated short - term slaughter rhythm has pushed down the price of live pigs. However, considering the short - term rebound of the price difference between standard and fat pigs, there is still some enthusiasm in the second - fattening link, making it difficult for the near - month contracts to break through downward. The fact of medium - and long - term over - capacity remains unchanged. Attention should be paid to whether the subsequent capacity reduction can boost the far - month price. For near - month contracts, short positions can consider gradually taking profits, and for far - month contracts, long positions can be established at low prices after the spot price stabilizes [1][17][19]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry-wide investment ratings are provided. The ratings are given on a per-variety basis, including "Big range shock" for soybean meal and rapeseed meal, "Cautious about chasing long" for palm oil, "Cautious short" for cotton and red dates, and "Cautious long" for live pigs [1]. Core Views of the Report - The report analyzes the market conditions of six agricultural products, including soybean meal, rapeseed meal, palm oil, cotton, red dates, and live pigs, and provides corresponding investment suggestions based on the supply and demand fundamentals, policy factors, and market sentiment of each product [1]. Summary by Variety Soybean Meal - **Market Situation**: The climate center has a neutral outlook, and the soybean planting weather in the US is generally favorable. In China, the soybean and soybean meal inventories are in the accumulation phase, which is expected to last until the end of September, with the accumulation rate in August expected to slow down compared to July. The Sino-US trade tariff is the key cost support for soybean meal. The price of domestic soybean meal rebounded technically after a continuous decline, and the market is waiting for new progress in Sino-US trade negotiations [1]. - **Investment Suggestion**: Treat it as a big range market. Pay attention to the results of this week's Sino-US trade negotiations. The main contract range is [2960, 3010] [1]. Rapeseed Meal - **Market Situation**: The global rapeseed production has recovered year-on-year, but the soil moisture in some areas of Canadian rapeseed is relatively dry. In the domestic market, the inventories of rapeseed and rapeseed meal in oil mills are decreasing month-on-month, but still remain at a relatively high level year-on-year. From July to September, the import of rapeseed decreased significantly year-on-year, coupled with a 100% import tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal and the strength of old crop Canadian rapeseed, which strongly supports the price of rapeseed meal. However, the improving import profit of Canadian rapeseed puts upward pressure on the price of rapeseed meal. In the spot market, the low price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal has led to a decrease in the addition of rapeseed meal in feed, which is not conducive to consumption expectations [1]. - **Investment Suggestion**: Treat it as a big range market. Pay attention to the improvement of Sino-Canadian relations and the subsequent progress between China and Australia. The main contract range is [2620, 2700] [1]. Palm Oil - **Market Situation**: The USDA's July supply and demand report lowered the global palm oil ending stocks for the new year, and India's palm oil imports increased by 61.19% month-on-month in June, which is positive for market sentiment. The Indonesian government said it has sufficient funds to achieve the B40 target this year and complete the research and testing work for B50, dispelling previous market doubts and driving up the international palm oil price. Malaysia increased the export tariff for August, which is equivalent to increasing the import cost of domestic palm oil. After a series of positive factors, the market lacks further positive drivers, and Malaysian palm oil is expected to return to the supply and demand fundamentals in July. Based on the production and export data from the first 25 days of July, there is a possibility of inventory accumulation in July [1]. - **Investment Suggestion**: Be cautious about chasing long. There is a risk of price correction in the next one to two weeks. Pay attention to the opportunity to go long after the price stabilizes. Pay attention to the domestic palm oil purchase orders in the past three months. The main contract range is [8800, 9100] [1]. Cotton - **Market Situation**: In the US, the drought in the western cotton-growing areas has slightly worsened the soil moisture, but the growth of new cotton is still good. The latest good-to-excellent rate has slightly declined but still leads the same period last year. The weekly export has weakened significantly, suppressing the upward movement of the market. In China, the actual sown area and yield per unit of new cotton have both increased, and the guaranteed output has shifted upwards. In terms of inventory, the commercial inventory is decreasing rapidly, but the replenishment momentum of downstream finished products has slowed down significantly in the latest week. In terms of demand, the orders of textile enterprises have reached a new low in the past five years during the off-season, and the difference in the operating rates of the two factories has gradually widened. There is a need to be vigilant about the negative feedback of the weakening marginal demand on the inventory reduction support logic [1]. - **Investment Suggestion**: Be cautious about shorting. Pay attention to the opportunity of shorting at high levels and the reverse spread opportunity between the 11th and 1st contracts. Be vigilant about the risk of abnormal fluctuations before the results of the Sino-US trade negotiations are released this week. The main contract range is [13750, 14000] [1]. Red Dates - **Market Situation**: The growth of new jujube trees is relatively good. The market previously expected a significant decline in this year's production due to the "alternate bearing" phenomenon, but the actual second and third crop fruit-setting situations in the producing areas have not shown obvious signs of production reduction. Recently, many institutions have gone to Xinjiang for further investigations. The high inventory situation persists, and it is difficult to accelerate inventory reduction under weak demand. In terms of industry news, only three enterprises are currently implementing the floor purchase orders of some enterprises in the statement of the First Division, and it is difficult to promote it widely under the self-discipline statement [1]. - **Investment Suggestion**: Be cautious about shorting. It is recommended to short at high levels cautiously. Pay attention to industry policies. The main contract range is [10150, 10950] [1]. Live Pigs - **Market Situation**: In the short term, the slowdown in the live pig slaughter rhythm and the pressure on栏 and reluctance to sell of farmers support the price bottom. Driven by the anti-involution sentiment, the live pig market has shown significant fluctuations. However, considering that the weight reduction is not complete, there is still a subsequent supply pressure after the phased pressure eases, and the overcapacity in the medium and long term remains unchanged. There is a need to be vigilant about the risk of selling off due to the previous second-round fattening [1]. - **Investment Suggestion**: For the 09 contract, be vigilant about the risk of further correction as the current basis level is still relatively low and the spot price is slowing down in following the futures price. The 01 contract is relatively strong due to the earlier delivery time compared to previous years. For the far-month contracts, based on the optimistic expectation of the industry's anti-involution, consider going long at low levels or adopting a cross-year reverse spread strategy [1].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating but gives individual ratings for each variety: - **Thread Steel**: Hold [1] - **Hot Rolled Coil**: Hold [1] - **Iron Ore**: Reduce Short Positions [1] - **Coke**: Hold [1] - **Coking Coal**: Hold [1] - **Silicomanganese**: Cautiously Bullish [1] - **Ferrosilicon**: Cautiously Bullish [1] Core Views - **Steel**: Market sentiment has cooled, and prices are fluctuating at high levels. For thread steel, production and apparent demand have both increased month - on - month, and total inventory has decreased slightly, with supply and demand relatively balanced. For hot rolled coil, production and apparent demand have slightly decreased, and inventory has slightly increased, with relatively stable fundamentals and limited contradictions [1][3][4]. - **Iron Ore**: Fundamentally, molten iron production has declined, supply - side shipments have increased, and arrivals have decreased due to typhoons, with expected subsequent increases in arrivals. Both port and steel mill inventories have increased. The market sentiment has turned cautious after the coking coal position limit, and attention should be paid to policy announcements [1][6]. - **Coke**: Spot coke price increases have lagged behind futures since the previous low, the fourth round of spot price increases has been implemented, and there are still expectations of further increases. Coke enterprises' profits are still in a loss state, and production enthusiasm is average. Coke supply and demand are generally relatively balanced, and inventory is relatively stable. Market sentiment may fluctuate due to policy expectations for later meetings [1][8][10]. - **Coking Coal**: Domestic coking coal production has generally increased recently, and the absolute level is similar to the same period last year. Upstream inventory has transferred to downstream, and total inventory is stable. The impact of the energy bureau's inspection of over - production on output may be limited. There is still a possibility of capital - game market conditions, and market sentiment may fluctuate due to later meetings and policy expectations [1][12][14]. - **Ferroalloys**: For silicomanganese, the supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and the operating rate has increased in some production areas due to profit restoration. Manganese ore shipments and arrivals have continued to decline, mainly from South Africa, and the decline in port clearance volume has slowed, with expected low - level port inventory. The current port ore price is firm, providing strong short - term support for alloy prices. For ferrosilicon, last week's fundamentals showed both supply and demand increases, the factory inventory pressure has been released, but the delivery inventory is at a relatively high level for the same period, with obvious near - end warehouse receipt pressure [1][16][18].

Spot prices in different regions (Lüliang, Gujiao, etc.) range from 1150 to 1480, with price changes from - 93 to 0. Basis and futures spreads also show different values and changes [1][13]. - **Fundamentals**: Domestic coking coal production has generally increased recently, and the absolute level is similar to the same period last year. Upstream inventory has transferred to downstream, and total inventory is stable. The impact of the energy bureau's inspection of over - production on output may be limited [1][14]. - **Operation Suggestion**: It is advisable to hold in the short term, with a price range of [1120, 1174.5] [1][15]. Silicomanganese - **Price Information**: Futures prices for different contracts (01, 05, 09) are 6286, 6306, and 6212 respectively, with price changes of 184, 176, and 184. Spot prices in different regions (Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, etc.) range from 5800 to 5850, with price changes from 100 to 150. Basis, spreads, and other data also show different values and changes [1][17]. - **Fundamentals**: The supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and the operating rate has increased in some production areas due to profit restoration. Manganese ore shipments and arrivals have continued to decline, mainly from South Africa, and the decline in port clearance volume has slowed, with expected low - level port inventory. The current port ore price is firm, providing strong short - term support for alloy prices [1][18]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Market sentiment has cooled. Continue to pay attention to the implementation of macro - policies and the performance of coking coal, with an expected price range of [6070, 6356] [1][19].

Basis, spreads, and other data also show different values and changes [1][17]. - **Fundamentals**: Last week's fundamentals showed both supply and demand increases, the factory inventory pressure has been released, but the delivery inventory is at a relatively high level for the same period, with obvious near - end warehouse receipt pressure [1][18]. - **Operation Suggestion**: In the short term, market sentiment has cooled. Continue to pay attention to the implementation of macro - policies and the performance of coking coal. In the medium term, the fundamentals will gradually return to a loose state, and prices may still be under pressure, with a price range of [5950, 6270] [1][19].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Gold is in a high - level adjustment. Short - term tariff risks have subsided, but long - term gold has a bullish logic due to factors like the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, accelerated debt issuance, central bank gold purchases, and global order reshaping [1][2]. - Silver is under high - level pressure. It follows the adjustment of gold and copper. Although its fundamentals have little change, economic demand provides support, and its long - term upward trend remains unchanged [1]. - Copper is in a situation where bulls and bears are competing at a key psychological level. It is recommended to try long positions on dips, and there is long - term confidence in copper [1][6]. - Zinc is under pressure and is expected to have a supply increase and demand decrease in the long - term. It is advisable to short on rallies [1][9]. - Lead is under pressure due to factors such as the slow recovery of domestic primary lead smelters, the resumption of production of secondary lead enterprises, and weak downstream consumption [1]. - Tin is under pressure as the domestic tin smelting industry is in a state of weak supply and demand, and terminal consumption has entered the off - season [1]. - Aluminum is under pressure because of high - level imports of overseas bauxite, inventory accumulation during the off - season, and a weakening开工率 in the aluminum processing industry [1][11]. - Nickel is weak. Overseas nickel ore prices are stable, but downstream stainless - steel production cuts have slowed, and there is still pressure during the terminal consumption off - season [1][13]. - Industrial silicon is in a correction due to factors such as a decline in the "anti - involution" trading sentiment and the impact of a limit - down in coking coal prices [1]. - Polysilicon is in high - level oscillation. The statement of "sales price not lower than cost" provides strong support, but the spot trading volume is limited [1]. - Lithium carbonate is in a weak downward trend. The overall inventory is accumulating, and the market sentiment may return to the fundamentals after reaching a peak [1][15]. Group 3: Summaries According to Related Catalogs Gold and Silver - **行情回顾**: Due to the agreement on tariffs between the US and Europe, the risk - aversion sentiment subsided, leading to an adjustment in both domestic and foreign gold and silver [2]. - **基本逻辑**: The US and the EU reached a trade agreement, and China and the US are in negotiations. The short - term tariff risk has subsided, but factors such as the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, accelerated debt issuance, central bank gold purchases, and global order reshaping support the long - term bullish logic of gold [2]. - **策略推荐**: Pay attention to the support around 760 for gold and 9050 for silver. Treat silver's short - term adjustment as a trading idea [3]. Copper - **行情回顾**: Shanghai copper stopped falling and rebounded, returning to the 79,000 - yuan mark [5]. - **产业逻辑**: The tight situation of copper concentrates persists. Although the production of electrolytic copper is increasing, the demand has mixed performances. There are concerns about the impact of a potential 50% import tariff on US copper in August on China's copper and copper product exports [5]. - **策略推荐**: The signing of the US - EU trade agreement and China - US negotiations have eased tariff concerns. The US dollar index has risen, putting pressure on copper prices. It is recommended to try long positions on dips, and the long - term outlook for copper is positive. The attention range for Shanghai copper is [78,000, 80,000] yuan/ton, and for London copper is [9,700, 9,900] US dollars/ton [6]. Zinc - **行情回顾**: Shanghai zinc fell under pressure [8]. - **产业逻辑**: In 2025, the supply of zinc concentrates is abundant. Domestic new smelting capacities are being released, and the production of refined zinc is increasing. On the demand side, although the rebound of black steel prices has boosted galvanizing demand confidence, it is currently the off - season, and enterprise开工率 is weak [8]. - **策略推荐**: The cooling of the "anti - involution" sentiment, abundant supply, and inventory accumulation during the off - season have put pressure on zinc prices. In the long - term, supply will increase and demand will decrease. It is advisable to short on rallies. The attention range for Shanghai zinc is [22,400, 22,800] yuan/ton, and for London zinc is [2,650, 2,850] US dollars/ton [9]. Aluminum - **行情回顾**: Aluminum prices were under pressure, and alumina showed a downward trend [10]. - **产业逻辑**: For electrolytic aluminum, the domestic market sentiment has changed, production capacity has increased, and inventory has accumulated. For alumina, the supply - demand pattern is loose, and attention should be paid to overseas bauxite changes [11]. - **策略推荐**: It is recommended to short on rallies for Shanghai aluminum, paying attention to changes in aluminum ingot inventory. The main operating range for Shanghai aluminum is [20,000, 20,800] yuan/ton, and alumina is expected to be under pressure [11]. Nickel - **行情回顾**: Nickel prices weakened significantly, and stainless steel fell under pressure [12]. - **产业逻辑**: Overseas nickel ore prices are falling, and domestic nickel supply and demand are still weak. Stainless - steel production cuts have slowed, and there is still inventory pressure during the off - season [13]. - **策略推荐**: It is recommended to short on rallies for nickel and stainless steel, paying attention to inventory changes. The main operating range for nickel is [120,000, 123,000] yuan/ton [13]. Lithium Carbonate - **行情回顾**: The main contract LC2509 significantly reduced its positions and hit the limit - down [14]. - **产业逻辑**: The overall inventory is accumulating, and the price increase has led to inventory transfer from upstream to the middle. Although there are production cuts in some areas, the production still shows an upward trend. The new - energy vehicle market has a sales decline, and the "anti - involution" policy expectation has become a focus. The supply surplus for the whole year will narrow. The market may return to fundamentals after the sentiment peak [15]. - **策略推荐**: It is advisable to take a wait - and - see approach with the price range of [70,000, 73,000] yuan/ton [15].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Bean Meal**: It is expected to be in a large - range oscillation. The domestic soybean and bean meal are in the inventory - accumulation stage until the end of September, with the inventory - accumulation speed in August expected to slow down compared to July. Sino - US trade tariffs are the key cost support for bean meal. In the face of weak fundamentals and cost support, it should be treated as a large - range market. Attention should be paid to the results of this week's Sino - US trade negotiations [1][3]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: It is also expected to be in a large - range oscillation. Global rapeseed production has recovered year - on - year, but soil moisture in some areas of Canadian rapeseed is dry. In the domestic market, rapeseed and rapeseed meal inventories in oil mills are decreasing, but still at a relatively high level year - on - year. High tariffs and low imports support the price, but the improving import profit of Canadian rapeseed exerts upward pressure. The low price difference between bean meal and rapeseed meal in the spot market is not conducive to consumption. Attention should be paid to the improvement of Sino - Canadian relations and Sino - Australian progress [1][5]. - **Palm Oil**: Caution should be exercised when chasing long positions. The July USDA supply - demand report lowered the global palm oil ending inventory for the new year, and India's palm oil imports increased by 61.19% in June, which is positive for the market. Indonesia's plan to achieve the B40 target and conduct B50 research is also positive. However, after a series of positive factors, the market may return to the July fundamentals, and there is a possibility of inventory accumulation in July. There is a risk of price correction in the next one to two weeks, and opportunities to go long after price stabilization can be considered [1][7]. - **Cotton**: A cautious bearish view is taken. In the international market, the drought in the US cotton - growing areas has slightly affected the soil moisture, but the overall cotton situation is still good. In the domestic market, the sown area and yield per unit of new cotton have increased, but there may be potential weather disturbances in August. The commercial inventory is decreasing rapidly, but the replenishment power of downstream products has slowed down. The demand from textile enterprises is at a five - year low, and attention should be paid to high - selling opportunities and the 11 - 1 reverse spread [1][11]. - **Red Dates**: A cautious bearish view is also taken. The growth of new - season jujube trees is good, and the expected significant yield reduction due to the "alternate - bearing" phenomenon has not occurred. High inventory persists, and it is difficult to accelerate inventory reduction under weak demand. The implementation of the floor - purchase orders by some enterprises is limited, and it is recommended to be cautious when short - selling at high prices [1][14]. - **Live Pigs**: A cautious bullish view is held. In the short term, the slowdown of the live - pig slaughter rhythm and the pressure - holding and reluctant - to - sell sentiment of the breeding end support the price bottom. However, there is still a back - end supply pressure after the phased pressure eases, and the long - and medium - term over - capacity situation remains. For the 09 contract, beware of further callback risks; for the 01 contract and far - month contracts, consider going long at low prices or adopting the cross - year reverse spread [1][17]. 3.

Red Dates - **Market Data**: The closing price of the main red - date futures contract CJ2601 was 10,695 yuan/ton, up 2.39% from the previous day. The physical inventory of 36 sample points was 10,090 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 230 tons [12]. - **Production Situation**: The new - season jujube trees are growing well, and the yield is expected to be slightly lower than normal (less than 10% reduction), lower than the previous expectation [13]. Live Pigs - **Market Data**: The closing price of the main live - pig futures contract Lh2509 was 14,125 yuan/ton, down 2.15% from the previous day. The domestic live - pig spot price remained stable at 14,810 yuan/ton. The national sample - enterprise live - pig存栏量 increased by 11,520 to 3.71993 million, and the出栏量 increased by 167,700 to 1.12559 million [15]. - **Supply and Demand Situation**: In the short term, the average weight of live pigs has bottomed out and rebounded, and the price is supported by the pressure - holding and reluctant - to - sell sentiment. In the medium term, the number of new - born piglets from January to May 2025 increased, indicating potential growth in the second - half - year出栏量. In the long term, the policy - driven elimination of backward production capacity has limited coverage, and the industry has not yet entered the stage of full - scale loss and capacity elimination [16].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: Cautiously bearish [1] - LPG: Cautiously bearish [1] - L: Cautiously bearish [1] - PP: Cautiously bearish [1] - PVC: Cautiously bearish [1] - PX: Cautiously bullish [1] - PTA/PR: Cautiously bullish [1] - Ethylene glycol: Cautiously bullish [1] - Glass: Cautiously bearish [2] - Soda ash: Cautiously bearish [2] - Caustic soda: Cautiously bullish [2] - Methanol: Cautiously bearish [2] - Urea: Cautiously bearish [2] - Asphalt: Bearish [2] - Propylene: Cautiously bearish [2] 2. Core Views of the Report - The supply pressure of the oil market is gradually rising, and the oil price still has room to compress; some chemical products are affected by factors such as inventory, production capacity, and policies, showing different trends of rise and fall [1][2] 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs Crude Oil - **Core view**: Cautiously bearish. The supply pressure is gradually rising, and the oil price still has room to compress [1]. - **Basic logic**: The oil market is currently in a situation of weak expectations and strong reality, with certain support below. However, the pressure brought by OPEC's production increase is gradually released, and the oil price center still has room to decline. In terms of supply, Guyana's average crude oil production in the first half of the year was 639,000 barrels per day; the EU introduced a new round of sanctions against Russia, reducing the upper limit of Russian crude oil sanctions to about $50 per barrel. In terms of demand, India's crude oil imports in June decreased by 4.7% from the previous month to 20.32 million tons, the lowest level since February; China's crude oil imports in June were 49.888 million tons, and the cumulative imports from January to June were 279.386 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%. In terms of inventory, as of the week of July 18, U.S. commercial crude oil inventories decreased by 3.9 million barrels to 422 million barrels, gasoline inventories increased by 3.4 million barrels to 232.8 million barrels, distillate inventories increased by 4.2 million barrels to 106.9 million barrels, and the strategic crude oil reserve SPR decreased by 300,000 barrels to 402.7 million barrels [3][4]. - **Strategy recommendation**: In the medium and long term, due to the impact of new energy and the expansion cycle of OPEC+, the supply of crude oil will be in excess, and the oil price is expected to fluctuate in the range of $60 - $70 per barrel. In the short term, the daily line rebounds, but the upside pressure is strong. The strategy is to lightly lay out short positions and buy call options to protect the positions. SC focuses on the range of [510 - 525] [5]. LPG - **Core view**: Cautiously bearish. The oil price stabilizes, and the fundamentals of LPG are okay, leading to a rebound in LPG [1]. - **Basic logic**: The core driver is that the cost-side oil price stabilizes, and the fundamentals of LPG improve marginally. Currently, the downstream chemical demand is rising, and the basis is at a high level, so the short-term upward momentum of LPG increases. As of July 28, the number of warehouse receipts remained unchanged from the previous period. In terms of cost and profit, as of July 28, the profit of PDH devices remained unchanged from the previous period, while the profit of alkylation devices decreased by 12.5 yuan per ton compared with the previous period. On the supply side, as of the week of July 25, the total LPG commodity volume decreased by 0.04 million tons compared with the previous week, and the civil LPG commodity volume decreased by 0.18 million tons. On the demand side, as of the week of July 25, the operating rates of PDH, MTBE, and alkylation oil increased by 1.35pct, 1.38pct, and 1.99pct respectively compared with the previous period. On the inventory side, as of the week of July 25, the refinery inventory increased by 0.4 million tons compared with the previous period, and the port inventory decreased by 16.59 million tons [6][7]. - **Strategy recommendation**: In the medium and long term, after the geopolitical risks are released, from the perspective of supply and demand, the supply of upstream crude oil exceeds demand, and the center is expected to continue to move down. Currently, the ratio of LPG to crude oil is similar to that of the same period last year, and the valuation is neutral. Technically and in the short term, the daily line stabilizes and rebounds. It is recommended to sell put options. PG focuses on the range of [3950 - 4050] [8]. L (Polyethylene) - **Core view**: Cautiously bearish. The social inventory has been accumulating for 5 consecutive weeks, and the fundamentals are under pressure [1]. - **Basic logic**: The social inventory has been accumulating for 5 consecutive weeks, and the fundamentals are under pressure. The coal-based proportion of plastics is 20%, and the proportion of old production capacity is 14%. Most of the production capacity has been shut down for a long time or replaced. Attention should be paid to policy changes. The marginal improvement of agricultural film operations should be noted, and attention should be paid to the rhythm of raw material replenishment. The restart of devices increases, and the output is expected to increase this week. In the medium and long term, high production limits the rebound space [9][10]. - **Strategy recommendation**: The short-term market fluctuates greatly, and short-term participation is recommended. The strategy is to take profits on long positions, and the industry can choose the opportunity to sell for hedging. L focuses on the range of [7300 - 7450] [10][11]. PP (Polypropylene) - **Core view**: Cautiously bearish. The number of warehouse receipts increases, and long positions should be reduced [1]. - **Basic logic**: The number of warehouse receipts increases. The coal-based proportion of PP is 19%, and the proportion of old production capacity is 8%. Most of them have been shut down for a long time or replaced. The demand fails to keep up, and the supply is under continuous pressure. The number of warehouse receipts is at a high level in the same period. From January to June, the cumulative exports increased by 21% year-on-year, and the export profit margin is relatively high in the same period. Exports are expected to maintain a high growth rate in the future. In the medium and long term, the production pressure in the third quarter is relatively high, which limits the upside space [13][14]. - **Strategy recommendation**: The short-term market fluctuates greatly, and short-term participation is recommended. The strategy is to reduce long positions. PP focuses on the range of [7050 - 7250] [14][15]. PVC - **Core view**: Cautiously bearish. The price of calcium carbide has been falling continuously, and long positions should be reduced [1]. - **Basic logic**: The market sentiment cools down, and the price of calcium carbide has been falling continuously. The proportion of old PVC production capacity is 11%. Attention should be paid to the policy changes in the Politburo meeting at the end of the month. The social inventory has been accumulating for 5 consecutive weeks. The 900,000 - ton devices of Fujian Wanhua and Bohua Development have started trial - runs one after another. The weak fundamentals limit the rebound space. Attention should be paid to the rhythm of warehouse receipt registration [18][19]. - **Strategy recommendation**: The short-term market fluctuates greatly, and short-term participation is recommended. The strategy is to reduce long positions. V focuses on the range of [5100 - 5300] [19][20]. PX - **Core view**: Cautiously bullish. The supply and demand are in a tight balance, and there are still positive factors under the macro - policy of "anti - involution and elimination of backward production capacity". Attention should be paid to the opportunity to buy on dips [1]. - **Basic logic**: On the supply side, there are not many changes in domestic and foreign devices. Some domestic devices are under maintenance or have reduced loads, while others have increased loads. In August, some devices are planned to increase loads or restart. Overseas device operating rates are temporarily stable. The PXN spread is at a low level in the same period in the past five years, and the short - process PX - MX spread is positive. The gasoline cracking spread and the comparison between aromatics reforming and oil blending show that the cost of aromatics reforming is more cost - effective. The weekly output of PX has decreased slightly, and the international PX device operating rate has declined. The import volume in June is at a relatively low level in the past five years. On the demand side, there are some changes in PTA device maintenance and new device production. The PTA spot and futures processing fees have increased. The weekly operating rate and output of PTA remain stable and are at a relatively high level in the same period in the past five years. In general, the supply and demand are in a tight balance, the PX inventory is decreasing but still at a high level, the PXN is not low, the basis is strong, and there are still positive factors under the policy [21][22]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Pay attention to the opportunity to buy on dips. PX focuses on the range of [6910 - 7030] [22][23]. PTA/PR - **Core view**: Cautiously bullish. Recently, there are relatively few changes in device operations. Later, new PTA devices will be put into production, and the supply - side pressure is expected to increase. The demand side is seasonally weak. Stimulated by the "anti - involution" macro - policy, the operations of downstream polyester and terminal weaving are slightly different. The tight - balance expectation of TA fundamentals is loosening. In the short term, affected by the "anti - involution" macro - policy, there are positive opportunities on the supply side, but the TA processing fee is neutral. Be cautious about going long at low levels [1]. - **Basic logic**: The supply - side device changes are relatively small recently, but new PTA devices will be put into production later, increasing the supply - side pressure. The demand side is seasonally weak. Affected by the "anti - involution" policy, the operations of downstream polyester and terminal weaving are slightly different. The PTA fundamentals are expected to change from a tight balance to a looser situation. In the short term, there are positive factors on the supply side due to the policy, but the TA processing fee is neutral [24][25]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Pay attention to the opportunity to lay out long positions on dips. TA focuses on the range of [4800 - 4880] [25]. Ethylene Glycol - **Core view**: Cautiously bullish. The domestic and foreign ethylene glycol devices have slightly increased their loads, but the arrivals and imports are still lower than the same period. The downstream polyester and terminal weaving are slightly different. The terminal demand is in the traditional off - season, and orders continue to decline. In July, the supply and demand are in a tight balance, and the low inventory also supports the futures price. Recently, there is still positive sentiment under the macro - policy of "anti - involution and elimination of backward production capacity", and the market is oscillating strongly [1]. - **Basic logic**: Domestic and foreign devices have slightly increased their loads, but the arrivals and imports are still at a low level compared with the same period. Some domestic devices have restarted, while others are under maintenance or have reduced loads. Overseas, some devices have restarted, and some have maintenance plans. The weekly maintenance loss of MEG is at a high level in the same period in the past five years, the weekly operating rate has increased, and the weekly output has increased slightly. The demand side is affected by the "anti - involution" policy, and the operations of downstream polyester and terminal weaving are slightly different. The polyester product inventory has decreased, but the terminal weaving is still weak. The social and port inventories of MEG are at a low level compared with the same period [26][27]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Pay attention to the opportunity to go long at low levels. EG focuses on the range of [4420 - 4580] [27][28]. Glass - **Core view**: Cautiously bearish. The policy expectation cools down, and the futures price fluctuates greatly [2]. - **Basic logic**: At the macro level, the market has been fermenting around the "anti - involution" policy expectation. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the steady - growth work plans for ten key industries such as steel, non - ferrous metals, petrochemicals, and building materials are about to be introduced, which has reignited market sentiment, and related varieties have continued to be strong, and the price of glass has risen significantly. At the same time, the strength of coal - related varieties has led to the expectation of cost increase. The fundamentals of glass have improved, the corporate profitability has improved, the output has increased slightly, especially the corporate inventory has continued to decline to a five - month low, and the comprehensive demand for glass in the off - season has remained resilient, significantly boosting market confidence. In the short term, the futures price is boosted by the macro - policy, and the continuous inventory reduction enhances market confidence. As long as the policy expectation logic is not falsified, the price center will continue to move up. In general, the futures price fluctuates with the macro - sentiment. In the long term, if there are substantial policies in the real estate and production capacity sectors, the futures price may continue to rise. If the demand remains weak, supply contraction is needed to have a strong upward space. In late July, it is a period of intensive macro - policies, the macro - sentiment repair is difficult to be falsified, but the optimistic sentiment has cooled down, and the futures price fluctuates widely [30][31]. - **Strategy recommendation**: FG focuses on the range of [1170 - 1230] [31]. Soda Ash - **Core view**: Cautiously bearish. The exchange has issued a risk warning, and the price fluctuates widely [2]. - **Basic logic**: Affected by the "anti - involution" policy expectation, the trading atmosphere in the glass and coal markets has become stronger, which has boosted the industrial sentiment and driven up the futures price of soda ash. The inventory of soda ash plants has accumulated again, reaching a new historical high, but the market reaction has been calm, and the domestic spot market prices have remained stable with a slight decline. Recently, in the soda ash market, some devices are under maintenance while others are restarting. The overall supply has slightly increased, the capacity utilization rate has increased, and the soda ash output has increased. The inventory of soda ash manufacturers has continued to accumulate, reaching a new historical high, and the market supply surplus pressure is heavy. The downstream support is general, with only terminal rigid - demand consumption. The short - term demand in the glass market is mediocre, some production lines in the photovoltaic glass industry have been cold - repaired, and the demand in the light - soda industry remains at a low level, maintaining a just - in - time procurement model, which has little impact on boosting the demand for soda ash. Recently, the soda ash futures price has been mainly affected by commodity sentiment fluctuations, and the fundamentals are difficult to provide sufficient driving force. Attention should be paid to macro - sentiment and technical operations [33][34]. - **Strategy recommendation**: The inventory of soda ash plants has decreased month - on - month. Follow the sentiment of the coal and glass futures markets. The exchange has issued a risk warning, the price fluctuates greatly, and the price falls back under the pressure of the annual line. There is a short - term callback risk. SA focuses on the range of [1280 - 1350] [2]. Caustic Soda - **Core view**: Cautiously bullish. The upstream and downstream are linked, and the price corrects from a high level [2]. - **Basic logic**: On the supply side, the current average capacity utilization rate is 84%, a week - on - week increase of 1.4%. Some previously reduced - production or shut - down devices in North China, East China, Northeast China, and South China have gradually increased their loads, and the capacity utilization rate has increased to varying degrees. In Central China, the low price of liquid chlorine has led to losses for alkali plants, and the capacity utilization rate has declined. Overall, the operation is at a high level, and with the expected commissioning of new production capacity, the supply tends to be saturated. In terms of demand, the production of the main downstream product, alumina, has increased, but the non - aluminum demand is still weak. The operating rate of the printing and dyeing industry in Zhejiang has been continuously low, and downstream customers are cautious about high prices and mainly purchase for rigid demand. In May, the export scale shrank, with a month - on - month decrease of 23.79% and a year - on - year decrease of 7.16%. In terms of cost and profit, the price of liquid caustic soda in Shandong has increased, the subsidy for liquid chlorine has decreased, and the overall profit of the chlor - alkali industry has shown an upward trend. Currently, the inventory of liquid caustic soda enterprises is 408,400 tons (wet tons), a week - on - week increase of 2.5%. In general, the weekly supply - demand fundamentals have weakened, the device maintenance has returned, the macro - policy expectation has cooled down, the alumina futures price has corrected, the subsidy for liquid

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil, LPG, L, PP, PVC, PX, PTA/PR, ethylene glycol, glass, soda ash, caustic soda, methanol, urea, asphalt, and propylene are all rated as "cautiously bearish", except for soda ash which is rated as "wide - range oscillation" and glass, caustic soda which are rated as "short - term correction" [1][2] 2.

There are short - term positive opportunities on the supply side, and attention should be paid to opportunities to go long on dips [1][22] - Ethylene glycol: Domestic and foreign devices have slightly increased their loads, but arrivals and imports are low. Terminal demand is in the off - season, and there is support from low inventory. Attention should be paid to low - buying opportunities [1][24] - Glass: Policy expectations cool down, and after a sharp rise, the volatility increases. There is a risk of correction [2][27] - Soda ash: Affected by policy expectations, the market sentiment is boosted, but there is a large inventory de - stocking pressure, with wide - range oscillations and a short - term correction risk [2][30] - Caustic soda: Supply returns, inventory accumulates, and there is a high - level correction pressure due to the cooling of market sentiment and the narrowing of liquid chlorine subsidies [2][33] - Methanol: Supply - side pressure is expected to increase, demand is relatively good, and the market sentiment has declined. It is recommended to short on rallies [2][36] - Urea: The device operating load remains high, demand is weak domestically but good in exports. There is bottom support from coal prices, and attention should be paid to opportunities to short on rallies [2] - Asphalt: The cost - side oil price is weak, raw material supply is sufficient, and it is recommended to short with a light position [2] - Propylene: The spot market is weak, and attention can be paid to short - spread or short - PP processing fee strategies [2] 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs Crude Oil - **Market conditions**: On July 25, WTI decreased by 1.32%, Brent decreased by 1.02%, and SC increased by 0.85% [3] - **Basic logic**: The oil market shows a situation of weak expectations and strong reality.
