Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Gold is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short - term and maintain a long - term bullish view. Silver follows gold and is expected to show a volatile and slightly stronger trend, but its elasticity will be suppressed by weak economic data [1][3]. - The upcoming non - farm payroll data on Friday night is more important due to the difference in caliber between ADP employment data and non - farm employment data [1][3]. 3. Summary by Content Key Information - The number of ADP employed people in the US in May increased by 37,000, the smallest increase since March 2023, with an expected increase of 110,000 and a revised previous value of 60,000. Trump called on the Fed to cut interest rates [2]. - The US ISM non - manufacturing PMI in May was 49.9, the first contraction in nearly a year, with an expected value of 52.0 and a previous value of 51.6 [2]. - Musk criticized Trump's new cut plan and spending bill, which proposed to cut $9.4 billion in funds, and said it would increase the government deficit to $2.5 trillion [2]. Price Logic - The price of precious metals was volatile during the day and was slightly boosted at night as the US ADP employment data and ISM non - manufacturing data were below expectations, and the US dollar weakened [3]. - The reasons for the long - term bullish view on gold are: the continuation of the US tariff path, the mid - term stagflation expectation in the US, the Fed's possible delay in interest rate cuts with limited negative impact, and the contraction of the US dollar's credit [3]. Outlook - The weekly COMEX gold price range to watch is [3200, 3450], and the weekly COMEX silver price range to watch is [32, 35] [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overseas macro: US May ADP employment growth fell short of expectations and the previous value; OECD cut the global growth forecast for the second time this year, slashing the US economic growth forecast from 2.8% to 1.6%. After the China - US tariff relief, US consumer confidence was significantly boosted, but the improvement in the labor market was limited, and the long - term economic resilience still needed to be observed [6]. - Domestic macro: Against the backdrop of the continued implementation of the "rush export/trans - shipment" and "two new" policies, the profits and PMI of manufacturing enterprises generally maintained strong resilience. The trade friction easing and policies supported the overall stability of manufacturing production and operation [6]. - Asset views: For major asset classes, maintain the view of more hedging and more volatility overseas and a structural market in China. Strategically allocate gold and non - US dollar assets. Overseas, even if Trump's tariffs are blocked, it cannot solve the fundamental deficit problem in the US. In China, the growth - stabilizing policy remains steadfast, and the second - quarter economic growth rate is supported by export resilience and the tariff - easing window period. The bond market still has value for dip - buying after the capital pressure eases. The stock market and commodities return to the fundamental logic, showing short - term range - bound fluctuations [6]. 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro Essentials - Overseas: US May ADP employment increased by 37,000, lower than the expected 110,000 and the previous value of 62,000. The number of job vacancies in April increased, and the consumer confidence index in May jumped from 85.7 to 98.0, but the labor market improvement was limited [6]. - Domestic: From January to April, the total profit of large - scale industrial enterprises was 2.11702 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 1.4%. The manufacturing PMI in May was 49.5%, up 0.5 percentage points month - on - month [6]. 3.2 Viewpoint Highlights 3.2.1 Macro - Domestic: Moderate reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts, and short - term fiscal implementation of established policies [8]. - Overseas: The inflation expectation structure flattened, the economic growth expectation improved, and the stagflation trading cooled down [8]. 3.2.2 Finance - Stock index futures: Focus on local large - consumption hotspots, with market sentiment oscillating [8]. - Stock index options: Volatility declined continuously, and cautious covered call strategies were recommended, with the market oscillating [8]. - Treasury bond futures: Treasury bond futures rose collectively, and the market oscillated [8]. 3.2.3 Precious Metals - Gold/Silver: Due to the better - than - expected progress of China - US negotiations, precious metals continued to adjust in the short term, with the market oscillating [8]. 3.2.4 Shipping - Container shipping to Europe: Attention was paid to the game between peak - season expectations and the implementation of price increases, with the market oscillating [8]. 3.2.5 Black Building Materials - Steel: Pessimistic demand expectations and a downward - moving cost support, with the market oscillating [8]. - Iron ore: Overseas shipments increased, and the price oscillated [8]. - Coke: As the off - season deepened, there was still an expectation of price cuts, with the market oscillating and falling [8]. - Coking coal: Upstream inventory accumulation intensified, and the price remained weak, with the market oscillating and falling [8]. 3.2.6 Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials - Copper: Inventory continued to accumulate, and the copper price oscillated at a high level, with the market oscillating and rising [8]. - Alumina: The event of mining license revocation was not yet finalized, and the alumina contract oscillated at a high level, with the market oscillating and falling [8]. - Aluminum: With the easing of trade tensions, the aluminum price oscillated strongly [8]. 3.2.7 Energy and Chemicals - Crude oil: Supply pressure persisted, and attention was paid to macro and geopolitical disturbances, with the market oscillating [11]. - LPG: Demand remained weak, and PG was in short - term bottom - finishing, with the market oscillating [11]. - Asphalt: The asphalt futures price was overestimated and awaited a decline [11]. - Methanol: Coal prices temporarily stabilized, and methanol oscillated [11]. 3.2.8 Agriculture - Oils: There was an expectation of improvement in China - Canada trade relations, but rapeseed oil still performed weakly, with the market oscillating [11]. - Protein meal: The spot market sentiment cooled down, and the contract price followed the correction, with the market oscillating [11]. - Corn/Starch: The trading was dull, and the futures price oscillated [11]. - Pork: The supply for slaughter increased, and the pork price continued to fall, with the market oscillating and falling [11].
煤焦供给收缩预期增强,??价格整体反弹

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillating" [5][9][16] - Specific product ratings: - Steel: oscillating [7] - Iron ore: oscillating [7][9] - Scrap steel: oscillating [8] - Coke: oscillating weakly [8][10] - Coking coal: oscillating weakly [11][13] - Glass: oscillating weakly [12] - Soda ash: oscillating weakly [12][14] - Ferrosilicon: oscillating [15][16] - Silicomanganese: oscillating [14] 2. Core View of the Report - The expectation of supply contraction in the coking coal market has increased, and the prices of the black series have rebounded as a whole. However, due to the approaching off - season of domestic construction and manufacturing industries and the under - expected "rush for exports", the demand is difficult to increase, so the rebound height is limited. Attention should be paid to the subsequent policy orientation [2][3][5] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Overall Black Building Materials Market - **Supply and demand situation**: The domestic demand is seasonally weakening, and the "rush for exports" in the manufacturing industry is under - expected. The off - season trend remains unchanged. Electric furnaces and some blast furnaces have started to make losses, and the molten iron is expected to decline, but the overall profitability provides some support to the cost side [2][3][5] - **Rebound driver**: Low valuation combined with news speculation brings rebound drive, but the height is limited [2][3][5] 3.2 Specific Product Analysis 3.2.1 Steel - **Core logic**: The prices of raw materials rebounded, but the fundamentals changed little. The domestic policy is in a vacuum period, and there are still expectations of tariff risks. The demand for the five major steel products rebounded this week, but the domestic demand expectation is still weak. The molten iron is at a high level, and the steel output has increased. The overall supply - demand fundamentals have improved this week, and the inventory has decreased, but the falling raw material prices and the pessimistic expectation of domestic demand suppress the futures price [7] - **Outlook**: The fundamentals have improved this week, but the expectation is still pessimistic, and the raw material prices are weakening. It is expected that the steel price will oscillate in the short term [7] 3.2.2 Iron Ore - **Core logic**: The overseas supply increment is lower than expected, the cumulative annual shipment has decreased year - on - year, and the new project ramp - up has slowed down. The steel enterprises' profitability and order status are still good, and the molten iron is expected to remain at a high level. The supply - demand is in a tight balance, and the inventory accumulation pressure before September is small. Affected by the coking coal news, the iron ore price has also increased slightly [3][7] - **Outlook**: If the molten iron can stop falling around 240,000 tons per day as expected and the macro sentiment warms up, the price is expected to continue to rise, but the upside space is limited, and the 09 contract will oscillate in a wide range [7] 3.2.3 Scrap Steel - **Core logic**: After the holiday, the arrival volume is low, and the electric furnace valley - electricity is in a loss state. The apparent demand for rebar has rebounded slightly, and the total inventory has decreased slightly. The supply of scrap steel is tight, and the demand has decreased. The inventory in the factory has increased slightly [8] - **Outlook**: The market is pessimistic about the off - season demand, the finished product price is under pressure, and the electric furnace valley - electricity loss has intensified. It is expected that the price will oscillate in the future [8] 3.2.4 Coke - **Core logic**: The expectation of coking coal supply tightening has increased, but the actual supply - demand remains loose. The supply of coke is stable, but the inventory has accumulated. The demand is weakening, and the cost support is insufficient [8][10] - **Outlook**: The coking coal price is continuously falling, and the demand is weakening. It is expected that the short - term upward trend of the futures price will be difficult to sustain [10] 3.2.5 Coking Coal - **Core logic**: The expectation of supply tightening has increased due to safety accidents in Shanxi and the news of Mongolia's coal export tariff increase. However, the actual supply is still loose, the demand is expected to decline, and the upstream inventory pressure is increasing [4][11] - **Outlook**: The supply - demand of coking coal remains loose, and the high inventory restricts the upside space of the futures price [11] 3.2.6 Glass - **Core logic**: The off - season demand decline is not obvious, the deep - processing demand has improved month - on - month but is still weak year - on - year. The daily melting volume is stable, and the price is low, which inhibits the resumption of production. The inventory in the upstream is expected to increase, and the inventory in the middle reaches has decreased. The futures price oscillates due to news and sentiment [12] - **Outlook**: The actual demand is under pressure in the off - season, the futures price is at a discount to the spot price. The price cut of Hubei's spot goods leads the futures price to decline. It is recommended to pay attention to the price - cut range of Hubei's manufacturers, and the short - term view is oscillating weakly [12] 3.2.7 Soda Ash - **Core logic**: The supply capacity has not been cleared, and the supply pressure still exists. The demand for heavy soda ash is expected to maintain rigid procurement. Affected by the coal market news, the price has fluctuated, and the long - term oversupply pattern remains unchanged [12][14] - **Outlook**: The oversupply pattern remains unchanged, and the maintenance is gradually resuming. It is expected to oscillate weakly in the short term, and the price center will decline in the long term [14] 3.2.8 Ferrosilicon - **Core logic**: Affected by the improved sentiment in the black sector, the futures price of ferrosilicon has rebounded from a low level. The supply has increased slightly, but the demand is weakening, and the market sentiment is cautious [15] - **Outlook**: The supply - demand of ferrosilicon is weak, and the demand is expected to continue to weaken. The cost may still have a drag effect. It is recommended to pay attention to the steel procurement and production situation, and the futures price is expected to oscillate in the short term [15] 3.2.9 Silicomanganese - **Core logic**: Affected by the improved sentiment in the black sector, the futures price of silicomanganese has rebounded from a low level. The cost is weakly stable, the supply is increasing, and the demand is weakening [14] - **Outlook**: The supply of silicomanganese is expected to increase, and the demand is weakening. The supply - demand is becoming looser. The manufacturers are reluctant to sell due to cost inversion. It is expected that the futures price will oscillate in the short term [14]

成本弱支撑预期,新能源金属价格反弹
Zhong Xin Qi Huo· 2025-06-05 08:14
Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - Cost provides weak support, leading to a rebound in new energy metal prices. New energy metal prices have been falling, with a slight and temporary contraction in supply. The stabilization of domestic energy prices offers weak cost support, but the supply - demand situation has not significantly improved, and the oversupply pattern continues. To reverse the current decline, a significant contraction in supply is needed. In the short and medium term, the price trend of new energy metals is weak, and cautious participation is advisable. Long - term low prices may accelerate the elimination of production capacity of domestically self - priced varieties [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1.行情观点 Industrial Silicon - **Viewpoint**: During the wet season, supply increases while demand is weak, causing silicon prices to fluctuate under pressure. As of June 4, the price of oxygen - passing 553 in East China was 8150 yuan/ton, and 421 was 8850 yuan/ton. Domestic inventory was 420,900 tons, a 0.4% month - on - month increase. In May 2025, domestic industrial silicon monthly output was 308,000 tons, a 2.3% month - on - month increase and a 24.6% year - on - year decrease. In April, industrial silicon exports were 60,509 tons, a 1.6% month - on - month increase and a 9.2% year - on - year decrease [5]. - **Main Logic**: On the supply side, large northern factories are gradually resuming production, and supply in the northwest is increasing. In June, the southwest enters the wet season, with the operating rate in Sichuan having already rebounded, and Yunnan's operating rate expected to follow. On the demand side, downstream demand remains weak. Polysilicon factories continue to cut production, and the demand for industrial silicon is still low. The organic silicon industry's operating rate has slightly recovered, and subsequent demand is expected to remain stable. Aluminum alloy has limited impact on industrial silicon demand. Inventory continues to accumulate, but futures prices have fallen rapidly, leading to a reduction in warehouse receipt inventory [5]. - **Outlook**: The current pace of silicon factory复产 in the northwest has slowed, but there is still potential for further复产. In June, production in Sichuan and Yunnan will increase. Under high supply pressure, inventory will continue to accumulate, and silicon prices will remain under pressure, but short - term small rebounds are possible. Silicon prices are expected to fluctuate [5]. Polysilicon - **Viewpoint**: The number of warehouse receipt registrations has increased, causing polysilicon prices to fluctuate widely. The成交 price range of N - type re -投料 was 36,000 - 38,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 37,500 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous period. In April, China's polysilicon exports were about 1,262.3 tons, a 37% month - on - month decrease, and imports were about 954.3 tons, a 67.2% month - on - month decrease [5]. - **Main Logic**: Recently, the speed of polysilicon warehouse receipt registration has accelerated. There is significant uncertainty about polysilicon复产 during the wet season, and it is expected that large - scale factory production capacity will be replaced, greatly alleviating supply pressure. Most silicon material factories are still in a loss state, and polysilicon production is currently at a low level. After the end of the photovoltaic rush - installation period, downstream product prices such as components have begun to decline, and there is a risk of weakening demand in the second half of the year [5]. - **Outlook**: The short - term low production of polysilicon has improved the supply - demand situation, but there is a risk of weakening demand in the second half of the year. Polysilicon prices are expected to fluctuate widely [5]. Lithium Carbonate - **Viewpoint**: Market sentiment is strong, and lithium carbonate prices are rising following the trend. On June 4, the closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract increased by 1.9% to 61,080 yuan. The total position of lithium carbonate contracts decreased by 7,135 lots to 57,874 lots. The spot price of battery - grade lithium carbonate decreased by 50 yuan to 60,250 yuan/ton, and the industrial - grade price decreased by 50 yuan to 58,650 yuan/ton [6]. - **Main Logic**: The current fundamentals are still loose, but inventory has marginally improved, and the price difference structure has strengthened. Weekly production increased by 487 tons to 16,600 tons. From January to May, domestic cathode materials maintained growth. In June, the off - season production schedule increased slightly more than expected. Social inventory has slightly decreased, and warehouse receipt inventory has also decreased recently. Ore prices are still falling, but have not reached the marginal cost of Australian mines, and no mine production cuts have been observed [7]. - **Outlook**: Demand is weak, and supply is high. Prices are expected to remain volatile in the short term [7].
