Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The core logic for the long - term rise of gold (weakening of the US dollar credit, continuous gold purchases by central banks, geopolitical risks, and inflation expectations) remains solid. Gold is expected to maintain a structural bull market. Short - term price adjustments are normal rather than a trend reversal, and gold has long - term allocation value [3]. - The US economy shows signs of potential stagflation, with issues such as a consumer confidence decline, inflation risks, and uncertainties in the labor market. The economic recovery momentum in Europe and the United States has weakened, especially in the service industry [19][33]. - The Chinese economy in April saw a decline in the PMI index, a slowdown in real - estate recovery, an increase in industrial enterprise profits, and a significant growth in exports in March, but there are still many challenges [60][67][74]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Asset Price Logic Differentiation - Bond market: The US Treasury yields have been affected by Trump's tariff policies and Fed's attitude. The yields of Chinese government bonds have continued to decline, reflecting the expectation of loose monetary policy and the pressure of economic slowdown. The yields of Japanese government bonds are still loose under the YCC policy, and the British government bond yields are under pressure from trade tensions [9][13]. - Commodity market: Black commodities are generally weak, chemicals are in a weak - shock situation, non - ferrous metals are strong, gold has significant fluctuations, and agricultural products have different trends [16]. 2. Overseas Tariff Negotiations Are Repeated, and Monetary Expectations Are Loose - US economy: In April 2025, the US consumer market was in a "polarized" state. The inflation rate in March showed different trends, and the core inflation was sticky. The manufacturing and service industries showed mixed performance, the labor market had a "strong employment but weak confidence" feature, and the Fed's balance sheet was shrinking, with internal differences on the timing of interest rate cuts [19][24][33][36]. - Other countries' economies: Inflation rates in various countries are at different levels, and the manufacturing and service industries in Europe are under pressure. There are also differences in the monetary policies of central banks in various countries [22][30][33]. - Geopolitical conflicts: Multiple geopolitical conflicts have led to turmoil in the energy market, a refugee crisis, and intensified great - power games. There are also differences and progress in tariff negotiations among different regions [48][50]. 3. China's PMI Data Declines, and Policies Are Steady - PMI data: In April 2025, both the manufacturing and non - manufacturing PMI declined. The supply and demand sides, external demand, and prices all showed weakening trends [60]. - Investment: From January to March 2025, national fixed - asset investment increased, with new and old infrastructure and manufacturing investment growing. The real - estate investment decline has converged, and the real - estate land market is not hot [63][67][87]. - Consumption: In the first quarter of 2025, domestic consumption showed a stable increase, with different performances in different fields [70]. - Exports: In March 2025, exports increased significantly, but there are potential risks in the future [74][77]. - Industrial enterprise profits: From January to March 2025, the profits of national large - scale industrial enterprises increased year - on - year, but the profit margin was low, and the debt ratio was high [82]. 4. Some Risk - Aversion Sentiment Subsides, and Gold Prices Adjust Significantly - Gold market: In the week of April 25, 2025, the global gold market experienced a significant correction. The proportion of non - commercial long positions in gold decreased, the holdings of gold ETF funds changed, and the dollar rose while the US Treasury yields fell [107][110][113]. - Supply and demand of gold and silver: In the first quarter of 2025, the net inflow of global physical gold ETFs reached a new high since the first quarter of 2022. The global silver market is in a "tight balance" state, with industrial demand supporting the fundamentals [117][119]. - Outlook for gold: Gold has entered a bull market cycle driven by the weakening of the US dollar credit, risk - aversion demand, and central - bank gold purchases. The medium - and long - term upward trend is clear, but there may be short - term fluctuations [121][122].

钢材月报： 短期矛盾不大 中期仍将下行 分析师：陈为昌 中辉黑色研究团队 陈为昌 Z0019850 李海蓉 Z0015849 李卫东 F0201351 中辉期货研究院 2025/4/30 观点摘要 【供需概况】：4月份行情的主要驱动首先是特朗普的关税战，从目前情况看，对国内影响相对有限，近期特 朗普的表态也有缓和，后期若美国国内情况继续恶化，中美关税问题有出现转机的可能，未来不排除关税问题 的向上修复行情。后期另一变量是粗钢压产政策。从相关信息看，1-2个月内或难落地。而即使落地，对本已 宽松的原料端会形成更大压力，对钢材无法形成趋势性反转的驱动。从供需角度看，目前虽然从现实看五大材 并无明显矛盾，但高位运行的铁水产量给了市场供应充足的预期，而需求端面临5月中旬之后的国内需求走弱 ，以及部分国家反倾销政策、国内禁止"买单出口"压力之下出口回落的可能，整体供需存在一定宽松预期。 行情回顾 来源:同花顺,中辉期货有限公司 • 春节之后，工地复工进度偏慢，钢材出口遭遇关税壁垒，同时原料端双焦持续下行，带动钢材走弱。清明假期期 间，特朗普发起贸易战，中美互加145%关税，商品整体大幅回落，螺纹钢主力在悲观情绪下打出3 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - For silicon manganese, the industry fundamentals have not improved significantly, cost - end support is insufficient, and high inventory suppresses price increases. The market may continue to seek a bottom and is expected to be weak in the short term, with the main contract reference range of [5600, 6000] [5] - For silicon iron, the supply - demand contradiction is gradually alleviating, the industry's production reduction progress is accelerating, but the inventory level is still relatively high. The market may continue to seek a bottom and is expected to be weak in the short term, with the main contract reference range of [5400, 5850] [46] 3. Summary according to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Silicon Manganese 3.1.1 Supply and Demand Analysis - Supply: In April, production and operating rates declined significantly. It is expected that the total silicon manganese output in April will be around 810,000 tons. Although the production decline in each production area has slowed down compared with the previous period, the daily average output in Inner Mongolia is still at a relatively high level in the same period, and the operating rate in Yunnan is also at a high level in the same period [4][18] - Demand: In April, the substantial increase in hot metal production provided rigid support for the demand for silicon manganese. However, in steel tenders, the procurement prices of mainstream steel mills decreased, and the overall price - pressing sentiment was strong. Recently, news of production cuts has disturbed the market [4] 3.1.2 Manganese Ore Overview - Price: Manganese ore prices have not stopped falling, and the decline of oxide ore is obvious. Although the inquiry enthusiasm at ports has increased recently, the overall purchasing mentality is still cautious [4] - Inventory: Port inventory has continued to rise but is still at a historically low level. The arrival volume in April increased significantly, and the floating volume at sea surged. It is expected that large ships will arrive at ports in mid - to - late May, and the inventory may return to the normal range [4] 3.1.3 Cost and Profit - The entire industry is still in a loss state, and there are still expectations for production cuts. Special attention should be paid to the production reduction progress in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. Coke's second - round price increase was blocked, and the coke price is expected to be weak. The electricity prices in the north and south production areas have decreased to varying degrees, and there is an expectation of a decrease in Ningxia's electricity price [4] 3.1.4 Market Review - In April, the silicon manganese futures price continued to decline, and the spot price followed the decline. As of April 28, 2025, the closing price of the silicon manganese 509 contract was 5804 yuan/ton, with a cumulative decline of 6.66% compared with the beginning of the month; the price range of Inner Mongolia 6517 was 5680 - 5900 yuan/ton, with a cumulative decrease of 220 yuan/ton [6] 3.2 Silicon Iron 3.2.1 Supply and Demand Analysis - Supply: In April, the production and operating rates decreased significantly. It is expected that the national output in April will be 430,000 - 440,000 tons. Since the end of March, news of factory production cuts and shutdowns has been continuously reported, and production area shutdowns and overhauls have gradually increased since mid - April [45] - Demand: With the repair of steel mill profits, blast furnaces have been actively restarted, and hot metal production has increased more than expected. In April, steel tenders progressed slowly, and most steel mills' tender prices decreased to varying degrees compared with the previous round. Non - steel demand remained stable, and downstream pre - holiday restocking was mainly based on demand - based procurement. The cumulative silicon iron export volume from January to March decreased significantly year - on - year [45] 3.2.2 Cost and Profit - The semi - coke market has been stable recently. The price of lump coal in the raw material end has declined, weakening the cost support for semi - coke. The overall operating rate of semi - coke enterprises is low, and they have entered the regular maintenance season, with the overall supply continuing to shrink. The price of small materials in Shaanxi has not changed significantly this month. The electricity price in Inner Mongolia was reduced by 0.015 yuan in mid - April, and there is an expectation of a decrease in Ningxia's electricity price [45] 3.2.3 Market Review - In April, the silicon iron futures price continued to decline, and the spot price followed the decline. As of April 28, 2025, the closing price of the silicon iron 506 contract was 5648 yuan/ton, and the silicon iron 72 in Inner Mongolia was in the price range of 5550 - 5700 yuan/ton, with a cumulative decrease of 150 yuan/ton [49]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Soybean Meal**: Short - term decline. The impact of the China - US trade tariff increase is limited. South American soybean production is determined, and US soybean planting has started. In China, soybean inventories at ports and oil mills have been accumulating for four consecutive weeks, and the supply of soybean meal is temporarily tight before and after the May Day holiday. The monthly import volume from May to July is estimated to be over 10 million tons. The price of soybean meal continued to fall yesterday, and the downward space is limited before the holiday [1][3]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: Short - term decline. The inventories of rapeseed and rapeseed meal at oil mills have decreased. The spot price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal has expanded, increasing the substitution of rapeseed meal. The decline in soybean meal prices has led to a decline in rapeseed meal prices. With the approaching of the new rapeseed listing in China, there is short - term supply pressure [1]. - **Palm Oil**: Short - term decline. In April, the supply and demand of international palm oil both increased. The improvement in marginal supply and the expectation of continuous improvement may cause the price center of international palm oil to gradually decline. The domestic palm oil commercial inventory is low, and there is no supply - side pressure for the time being [1][9]. - **Cotton**: Decline and adjustment. US cotton sowing is ongoing, and the improvement of soil moisture is negative for the market. The tariff war has entered a phased buffer, and the demand is expected to recover. However, the overall market recession expectation has not been significantly reversed. In China, the new cotton sowing is coming to an end, and the new - season output is expected to be high. The downstream demand is entering the seasonal off - season [1][11][12]. - **Red Dates**: Weak operation. Currently, there are limited disturbances in the planting end. The supply in the downstream market is relatively sufficient, and the market is in the traditional consumption off - season. The arrival of seasonal fresh fruits has squeezed the market, and the supply - strong and demand - weak pattern has not improved significantly [1]. - **Live Pigs**: Low - level oscillation. The market fundamentals have not improved significantly. The pressure of oversupply is expected to dominate the market trend in the second half of 2025. The enthusiasm for secondary fattening has weakened, and the release of large - weight pigs may further suppress prices. The consumer end lacks continuous growth momentum, and the supply - demand fundamentals have not reversed [1][19]. 3. Summaries Based on Relevant Catalogs Soybean Meal - **International Situation**: The impact of the China - US trade tariff increase is limited. South American soybean production is determined, and US soybean planting has started. The initial planting progress and weather outlook are relatively smooth [3]. - **Domestic Situation**: From April to June, the monthly import volume is over 10 million tons. As of April 18, soybean inventories at ports and oil mills have been accumulating for three consecutive weeks, while soybean meal inventories are still decreasing. The spot supply of soybean meal is tight, driving the recent soybean meal market [3]. - **Price and Data**: The futures price of the main contract of soybean meal closed at 2964 yuan/ton, down 0.70% from the previous day. The national average spot price was 3602.29 yuan/ton, down 2.35% [2]. Rapeseed Meal - **Inventory Situation**: As of April 25, the coastal oil mill's rapeseed inventory was 25.5 tons, down 6.5 tons from the previous week; rapeseed meal inventory was 0.97 tons, down 0.02 tons; the unexecuted contract was 7.72 tons, down 0.7 tons [7]. - **Market Situation**: The domestic rapeseed meal inventory is much higher than that of the past two years, and the new - season rapeseed will be harvested and listed in May. The spot price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal has expanded to over 900 yuan/ton, reducing the substitution of rapeseed meal. However, the sharp rise in the spot price of soybean meal has driven the rise of rapeseed meal prices [7]. - **Price and Data**: The futures price of the main contract of rapeseed meal closed at 2588 yuan/ton, down 2.01% from the previous day. The national average spot price was 2624.21 yuan/ton, down 1.25% [4]. Palm Oil - **Inventory Situation**: As of April 18, the national key area's palm oil commercial inventory was 38.44 tons, up 3.58% from the previous week and down 22.62% year - on - year [9]. - **Market Situation**: In April, the supply and demand of international palm oil both increased. The production growth rate is greater than the export growth rate, and there is a risk of weakening. The near - month contract may have strong price support due to the high basis and limited imports [1][9]. - **Price and Data**: The futures price of the main contract of palm oil closed at 8120 yuan/ton, down 0.66% from the previous day. The national average price was 8865 yuan/ton, down 1.06% [8]. Cotton - **International Situation**: As of the week of April 27, 2025, the US cotton planting rate was 15%. The rainfall in the main cotton - producing areas of the US has improved the soil moisture. In Brazil, the cumulative rainfall in Mato Grosso has decreased, and the soil moisture in the cotton - growing areas has slightly deteriorated [11]. - **Domestic Situation**: The intended planting area of cotton in China in 2025 is 43.763 million mu, a year - on - year increase of 1.5%. The sowing of Xinjiang cotton is mostly completed, and the high - yield expectation remains. The spring peak season is ending, and the orders and operating rates of textile enterprises are falling [12]. - **Price and Data**: The futures price of the main contract of cotton (CF2509) closed at 12840 yuan/ton, down 0.85% from the previous day. The domestic spot average price was 14261 yuan/ton, up 0.14% [10][11]. Red Dates - **Production Area Situation**: In some southern Xinjiang production areas, jujube trees have germinated, and the current growth situation is good. The physical inventory of 36 sample points this week was 10505 tons, a decrease of 16 tons from the previous week. The market trading atmosphere is light, and prices are stable [16]. - **Market Situation**: As the temperature rises, the demand for dried fruits gradually weakens, and the future demand is expected to decline. The supply - strong and demand - weak pattern has not improved significantly [16]. - **Price and Data**: The futures price of the main contract of red dates (CJ2509) closed at 8965 yuan/ton, down 1.54% from the previous day [14][16]. Live Pigs - **Supply Situation**: Due to the slight decline in the number of piglets born at the end of 2024, the supply pressure from April to June will have limited increase. In the third quarter, the supply pressure will remain relatively high. The long - term supply pressure in the second half of 2025 is expected to deepen [18]. - **Demand Situation**: After the festival, the demand has increased slightly, but the relative level is still low. The support of secondary fattening has slowed down, and the improvement of seasonal demand needs attention [18]. - **Price and Data**: The futures price of the main contract of live pigs (Lh2509) closed at 13930 yuan/ton, down 1.62% from the previous day. The national average spot price of live pigs was 14940 yuan/ton, up 0.07% [17][18].
