Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - Since 2021, the PV industry has expanded production rapidly, leading to a supply-demand imbalance in 2024, with falling capacity utilization rates, sharp price drops in PV products, and companies trapped in price wars and losses [1][4]. - The "involution-style" competition in the PV industry stems from supply-demand mismatch, including profit and policy-driven overexpansion, limited theoretical efficiency improvement of crystalline silicon PV cells, and local protection hindering capacity phase-out. Domestic and external demand challenges further exacerbate overcapacity risks [2][4]. - The hazards of "involution-style" competition are significant, including huge losses and deteriorating debt repayment capabilities of PV companies, hindering technological progress, and posing risks to China's dual-carbon targets and triggering frequent anti-dumping investigations abroad [3][4]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Performances of Involution 1.1 Overcapacity - China's PV industry entered a rapid expansion cycle since 2021. The production capacity of the four major main materials expanded from 150 - 300GW in 2020 to over 1000GW in 2024, far exceeding global market demand [12][13]. - The operating rate of each link has declined since Q2 2024. Silicon material operating rate has been around 30% for over half a year, and that of silicon wafers, batteries, and components fell to 35 - 50% initially and rebounded to 50 - 70% recently, still lower than 2022 - 2023 [12][13]. 1.2 Low Utilization - Since 2023, due to the reversal of supply-demand pattern, PV product prices turned from rising to falling, and price wars amplified the decline. By mid - 2025, N - type silicon material, wafers, and batteries prices dropped over 80% compared to early 2023, and mainstream PV modules in China fell about 30% from early 2024 [28][29]. - In 2024, listed PV companies' revenue decreased about 22% year - on - year. PV enterprises' net profits shrank rapidly in 2024 and turned into losses from Q2 2024, with losses worsening quarter by quarter [28][29]. 2. Reasons of Involution 2.1 Profit Motive and Policy Encouragement - The PV industry has low technical thresholds and fast - spreading new technologies. Upstream, production equipment and lines are standardized with low entry barriers; downstream, SMEs can assemble modules easily; and core materials can be sourced from mature suppliers. New PV technologies can be copied and spread quickly [34][36]. - Benefiting from technological innovation, PV power generation cost decreased significantly, with rapid profit growth. In 2021, the net profit of A - share PV industry was 54.2 billion yuan, up 46%; in 2022, it was 116.8 billion yuan, up 97% [35]. - PV enterprises expanded production to consolidate market position. From 2019 - 2022, their fundraising scale expanded year by year. In 2023, the industry's capital expenditure was 5.37 times that of 2018, and construction in progress was 4.39 times [45][48]. - Abundant profits attracted non - PV enterprises. At least 56 non - PV enterprises entered in 2021, 69 in 2022, with a total investment over 307.8 billion yuan in 2022 [46][48]. - Technological bottlenecks and market competition led to low - price competition. The theoretical efficiency of crystalline silicon PV cells is limited, and new technologies are easily replicated, resulting in homogeneous competition [56][61]. - Local administrative interventions distorted market competition, making it difficult to phase out outdated capacity. An example is a PV enterprise A supported by local国资, which continued to operate despite problems, hindering capacity clearance [63][64]. 2.2 Domestic and External Demand Face Challenges - The surge in new energy installations led to grid integration challenges. China's average solar equipment utilization hours declined since 2024, and PV utilization rates dropped from 97 - 98% in 2021 to about 94% in 2025. Some eastern coastal provinces restricted new installations in 2024 [65][66]. - Power sector reforms in 2025 affected new energy installations. Policies led to a high new installation in the first five months, but PV module production scheduling declined in June [72][73]. - Overseas trade protectionism limited export demand. In 2025, China's PV exports faced pressure, with the cumulative export value of four major PV materials down 25.5% year - on - year in the first five months, and PV module exports down 2.2% [77][79]. 3. Hazards of Involution 3.1 Survival Crisis for PV Enterprises - Financial reports of 22 listed PV enterprises showed that their operating conditions deteriorated in 2023. In 2024, they reported net losses exceeding 40 billion yuan. As of July 2025, most remained unprofitable [85][86]. - The EBITDA/Interest Expense ratio dropped from 50 to 10, and the EBITDA/Interest - bearing Debt ratio dropped from 4.6 to 0.1 from 2023 to now [85]. 3.2 Negative Impact on the Long - Term Development of PV Industry - Sample companies' R&D expenditures dropped from 20 billion yuan in 2023 to 3.87 billion yuan between 2024 and Q1 2025, a 11% year - on - year decrease, the lowest in three years [96][97]. - The reduction in R&D investment is due to profit losses, cash flow constraints, and lack of self - innovation. It will impede core technological advancements and prolong technology iteration cycles [96][97].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No specific report industry investment ratings are provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The overall market risk preference remains high. For stock index futures, it is recommended to continue holding long positions; for stock index options, it is advisable to appropriately reduce the directional exposure of small - cap stocks in the short term; for treasury bond futures, the bond market sentiment is relatively warm [1][2][3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Stock Index Futures - **View**: Continue to hold long positions. The basis of IF, IH, IC, and IM current - month contracts are - 8.47 points, - 1.51 points, - 38.14 points, and - 34.15 points respectively, with a month - on - month change of - 2.38 points, 0.31 points, - 7.57 points, and - 7.24 points. The spreads between current - month and next - month contracts are 13.6 points, - 1.0 point, 73.0 points, and 78.0 points, with a month - on - month change of 3.2 points, - 0.4 point, 9.4 points, and 6.2 points. The total open interest changes are 7431 lots, 2077 lots, 3443 lots, and 4114 lots. The upward trend of the market has not changed. In August, the tone is still positive due to factors such as strong capital inflow, low probability of mid - report disappointment, and the weakening US dollar index. It is recommended to continue holding IM long positions [8]. 3.1.2 Stock Index Options - **View**: Appropriately reduce the directional exposure of small - cap stocks in the short term. The underlying market showed mixed trends and was in a volatile state. The trading volume of the options market was 6 billion and 60 million yuan, a 16.85% increase from the previous day. The sentiment indicators remained similar to the previous day, with the MO skew reaching a half - year high, indicating continued defensive sentiment in the small - cap segment. Volatility increased in small - cap and ChiNext stocks. It is recommended to continue the medium - term covered call strategy and reduce the short - term directional exposure of small - cap stocks [2][9]. 3.1.3 Treasury Bond Futures - **View**: The bond market sentiment is warm. Most treasury bond futures closed higher, with the 30 - year, 10 - year, and 5 - year main contracts rising by 0.03%, 0.05%, and 0.05% respectively, and the 2 - year main contract remaining flat. The yields of major inter - bank interest - rate bonds generally declined. Although the central bank conducted a net withdrawal of 12.25 billion yuan in the open market, the capital market remained loose. The central bank's 70 - billion - yuan 3 - month outright reverse repurchase operation is beneficial to the bond market. However, the high market risk preference and potential factors such as the increase in long - term bond supply in the third quarter and the introduction of growth - stabilizing policies may have an impact on the bond market. Different strategies are proposed for different trading purposes [3][10][11]. 3.2 Economic Calendar - The economic calendar includes data such as the US factory orders in June, the US ISM non - manufacturing PMI in July, China's trade balance in July, the UK central bank's benchmark interest rate in August, the US initial jobless claims in the week ending August 2nd, and China's M2 money supply annual rate in July [12]. 3.3 Important Information and News Tracking - **Export**: In the first seven months, ASEAN was China's largest trading partner, with a total trade value of 4.29 trillion yuan, a 9.4% increase.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "shock". Specific varieties such as steel, iron ore, scrap steel, coke, coking coal, glass, soda ash, manganese silicon, and ferrosilicon all have a mid - term outlook of "shock" [6][8][9][10][11][12][14][15]. 2. Core View of the Report - The demand performance of the black building materials industry is weak, and the prices are in high - level shock. Although the fundamentals of individual varieties change little, there are still certain support factors, and the prices may rebound before the spot pressure appears. The market is mainly dominated by capital behavior, and it is recommended to wait and see to avoid risks. Subsequently, the implementation of policies and terminal demand performance should be mainly concerned [1][6]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog 3.1 Iron Element - **Supply**: Overseas mine shipments decreased month - on - month, but after the typhoon disturbance, the arrival volume at 45 ports increased significantly, and the iron ore port area's total inventory increased, with a limited overall inventory accumulation range [2]. - **Demand**: The profitability rate of steel enterprises has risen to the highest level in the same period in the past three years. Due to routine maintenance of steel mills, the molten iron output decreased slightly, remaining at a high level year - on - year. The possibility of production reduction in the short term due to profit reasons is small. Attention should be paid to whether there are production - restriction policies in the second half of the month [2]. - **Outlook**: With limited bearish driving forces in the fundamentals, the future price is expected to fluctuate [2]. 3.2 Carbon Element - **Supply**: The "276 - working - day" production organization plan of some coal mines in Shanxi has emerged, and the supply - side disturbance continues. The output of some local coal mines is limited due to underground and other factors, and the output of some coal mines will be reduced to a certain extent in the second half of the year under the influence of over - production verification. The supply of Fenwei sample coal mines decreased month - on - month this week. The import of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu port has been maintaining more than a thousand trucks [2]. - **Demand**: After the previous centralized purchasing, downstream users are currently purchasing on demand. There were many pre - sold orders in coal mines before, and the upstream coal mines are still destocking [2]. - **Outlook**: Currently, the supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals is not prominent. Subsequently, regulatory policies, coal mine resumption, and Mongolian coal import conditions should be concerned [2]. 3.3 Alloys Manganese Silicon - **Cost**: The price of coke has been continuously increased, and the cost support for manganese silicon has been continuously strengthened. The manganese ore market is more wait - and - see, but traders are still reluctant to sell at low prices, and the port ore price remains firm [3]. - **Supply - demand**: Steel mills have good profit conditions, and the output of finished products remains stable at a high level. The downstream demand for manganese silicon is still resilient. However, in an environment of profit repair, the resumption process of manufacturers continues to advance, and the supply - demand relationship of manganese silicon may gradually become looser [3]. - **Outlook**: The contradictions in the current spot fundamentals are limited. In the short term, the price of manganese silicon is expected to fluctuate following the performance of the sector [3]. Ferrosilicon - **Supply**: The output of ferrosilicon is expected to accelerate the recovery. Attention should be paid to the anti - involution policy related to specific production - restriction requirements [15]. - **Demand**: The output of steel products remains stable at a relatively high level, and the downstream steel - making demand is still resilient. In the metal magnesium market, due to tight supply, magnesium plants' price - holding sentiment remains strong, but high - level transactions in the market are relatively cold, and the game between upstream and downstream in the magnesium market continues [15]. - **Outlook**: The current supply - demand relationship of ferrosilicon is relatively healthy. In the short term, the price is expected to fluctuate following the performance of the sector. In the medium - to - long term, the upside space of the price needs to be viewed with caution, and the dynamics of the coal market and the adjustment of electricity costs should be concerned [15]. 3.4 Glass - **Supply**: There are still 2 production lines waiting to produce glass, and 1 production line has been cold - repaired. The overall daily melting volume is expected to remain stable, and the upstream inventory has decreased slightly [6]. - **Demand**: In the off - season, the demand has declined, the deep - processing orders have decreased month - on - month, and the inventory days of original glass have increased month - on - month, indicating downstream speculative purchases. After the decline of the futures price, the sentiment in the spot market has declined, the middle - stream shipments have increased, and the upstream production and sales have declined significantly [6]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, the futures and spot prices are expected to fluctuate widely. In the long run, the price center will still decline, promoting capacity reduction [6]. 3.5 Soda Ash - **Supply**: The over - supply pattern has not changed. The production capacity has not been cleared, and there is still long - term pressure. The output is running at a high level, and the supply pressure still exists. Some manufacturers' production has recovered today, and the output is expected to continue to increase in the future [6]. - **Demand**: The demand for heavy soda ash is expected to maintain rigid procurement. There are still ignition production lines that have not produced glass. The expected daily melting volume of float glass is stable, and the daily melting volume of photovoltaic glass has continued to decline, falling below 90,000 tons this week, with the current daily melting volume at 89,800 tons. The demand for heavy soda ash has weakened. The downstream procurement of light soda ash has weakened, and the overall downstream demand is poor, mainly for periodic restocking [6]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, after the rapid decline of the price, it is at a discount to the spot price, and it is expected to fluctuate in the future. In the long run, the price center will still decline, promoting capacity reduction [6]. 3.6 Steel - **Supply**: Some steel mills have resumed production, and there is a transfer of molten iron. The output of rebar has increased, and the output of hot - rolled coils has decreased [8]. - **Demand**: Affected by the weakening of the typhoon, the apparent demand for rebar has rebounded, but the inventory continues to accumulate. In the off - season, the apparent demand for hot - rolled coils has decreased, and the inventory continues to accumulate. The supply of the five major steel products has increased, the demand has decreased, and the inventory has accumulated, showing off - season characteristics [8]. - **Outlook**: The anti - involution sentiment in the steel and coal industries is still high. Currently, the fundamentals of steel have weakened marginally, but the inventory is low, and there are still production - restriction disturbances before the military parade. The short - term futures price still has support. Subsequently, attention should be paid to the steel mills' production - restriction situation and terminal demand performance [8]. 3.7 Scrap Steel - **Supply**: This week, the market sentiment is relatively optimistic, and the willingness to ship is low. The arrival volume of scrap steel has continued to decline [9]. - **Demand**: The profit of electric furnaces is good, and the daily consumption has increased to a high level in the same period. In terms of blast furnaces, the molten iron output has decreased, and the daily consumption of scrap steel in long - process steelmaking has also decreased slightly. The total daily consumption of scrap steel in long - and short - process steelmaking has increased slightly [9]. - **Outlook**: The supply of scrap steel has decreased, and the demand has increased. The fundamentals have strengthened marginally, and the market sentiment is optimistic. The price is expected to fluctuate [9]. 3.8 Coke - **Supply**: After the full implementation of the fifth round of price increases, the profits of coking enterprises have been alleviated, and their production starts have improved. The coke output has temporarily stabilized [9]. - **Demand**: Downstream steel mills have good profits and are actively producing. The molten iron output has decreased slightly month - on - month but remains at a high level. Upstream coking enterprises have smooth shipments, and their inventory has been continuously reduced. Mid - stream futures - spot traders have gradually released their goods, and the arrival of goods at downstream steel mills has improved [9]. - **Outlook**: The current supply - demand structure of coke is still tight, and the short - term price still has support. Some coking enterprises still have the intention to increase the price for the sixth round. Subsequently, the possible military parade production - restriction policy should be concerned [9]. 3.9 Coking Coal - **Supply**: The "276 - working - day" production organization plan of some coal mines in Shanxi has emerged, and the supply - side disturbance continues. The output of some local coal mines is limited due to underground and other factors, and the output of some coal mines will be reduced to a certain extent in the second half of the year under the influence of over - production verification. The supply of Fenwei sample coal mines decreased month - on - month this week. The import of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu port has been maintaining more than a thousand trucks [11]. - **Demand**: The coke output has temporarily stabilized, and the rigid demand for coking coal is strong. After the previous centralized purchasing, downstream users are currently purchasing on demand. There were many pre - sold orders in coal mines before, and the upstream coal mines are still destocking [11]. - **Outlook**: Under the influence of over - production verification of coal mines, the recovery of coking coal supply is expected to be slow. With the poor supply expectation, the market sentiment has warmed up. In the short term, the futures price is expected to be easy to rise but difficult to fall [11].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report did not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating. However, based on the mid - term outlook for each variety, most are rated as "oscillating", indicating that the industry is expected to have price fluctuations within a certain range in the future 2 - 12 weeks [276]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The energy and chemical industry as a whole continues to show an oscillating and consolidating pattern, with an unclear trend. The prices of most varieties are affected by factors such as geopolitical situations, supply - demand relationships, and cost changes. For example, the expectation of Russia - US negotiations has alleviated geopolitical premiums, and the supply and demand of various products have different impacts on prices [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Crude Oil - **Viewpoint**: Geopolitical expectations are fluctuating, and attention should be paid to the risk of Russian oil. - **Main Logic**: The expectation of Russia - US negotiations has led to a moderation of geopolitical premiums. Although the high operation of Chinese and American refineries currently supports demand, the pressure on refined oil inventories is expected to reappear, and OPEC + supply is in an accelerated release period. - **Outlook**: Short - term oscillation, focusing on the implementation of US sanctions against Russia [8]. 3.1.2 Asphalt - **Viewpoint**: Crude oil is testing the support level, and asphalt futures prices are waiting for a direction. - **Main Logic**: The increase in OPEC + production and other factors have put pressure on crude oil, and asphalt futures prices are affected by crude oil. The spot market shows a pattern of stronger in the north and weaker in the south, and the sales pressure is increasing. - **Outlook**: The absolute price of asphalt is over - valued, and the asphalt monthly spread is expected to decline with the increase of warehouse receipts [8]. 3.1.3 High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: High - sulfur fuel oil is weakly oscillating. - **Main Logic**: The increase in OPEC + production and the weakening of geopolitical conflicts have led to an increase in heavy - oil supply.

7月中国进出口数据超预期,有色一度受到提振
Zhong Xin Qi Huo· 2025-08-08 04:58
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, for individual metals, the ratings are as follows: - Copper: Oscillating [6][7][9] - Alumina: Oscillating with high volatility, suggesting a short - term high - risk, high - reward situation [7][8][10] - Aluminum: Oscillating, with a short - term expectation of a weakening trend [10][11][12] - Aluminum Alloy: Oscillating, with potential for an upward movement in the future [12][13][15] - Zinc: Oscillating weakly, with a long - term bearish outlook [15][16] - Lead: Oscillating [17][19] - Nickel: Oscillating in the short - term, bearish in the long - term [19][24] - Stainless Steel: Oscillating in the short - term [25] - Tin: Oscillating [26][27] 2. Core Views of the Report - The 7 - month Chinese import and export data exceeded expectations, which initially boosted the non - ferrous metals market. However, the increasing risk of a US recession, reflected in poor employment data and declining PMI, along with a drop in European investor confidence, has created a complex market environment. The Fed's potential interest - rate cuts have weakened the US dollar, offsetting some of the negative impacts of the recession expectations. In the medium - to - long - term, the supply - demand balance for base metals is loosening seasonally, with increasing inventory in China, which exerts downward pressure on prices. However, potential domestic stimulus policies and supply disruptions for copper, aluminum, and tin provide some support [1]. 3. Summary by Metal Copper - **Information Analysis**: The US will impose a 50% tariff on imported semi - finished copper products and copper - intensive derivatives starting from August 1st. The Fed maintained interest rates in July. Chinese electrolytic copper production increased significantly in July and in the first 7 months of 2025. The spot price of 1 electrolytic copper had a positive premium on August 7th, and the copper inventory decreased slightly to 13.2 million tons [6]. - **Main Logic**: Macroeconomic factors, such as poor US employment data, have increased the risk of an overseas recession, putting pressure on copper prices. On the supply - demand side, low processing fees for copper ore and concentrate indicate tight raw - material supply, and the weakening downstream replenishment demand and rising inventory have reduced the upward momentum of copper prices. The upcoming tariff deadline has made investors cautious [7]. - **Outlook**: Copper is expected to oscillate due to supply constraints and low inventory, but with weakening demand and the US tariff impact [7]. Alumina - **Information Analysis**: The spot prices of alumina in different regions were mostly stable on August 7th, except for a slight increase in Guizhou. Some alumina plants in Shanxi faced production fluctuations due to ore - supply issues. A small - scale alumina transaction occurred in Guizhou on August 7th, and the alumina warehouse receipts increased significantly [7][8]. - **Main Logic**: Short - term market sentiment and warehouse - receipt issues dominate the alumina market, leading to high volatility. Fundamentally, the ample low - cost ore for smelters has supported increased production, resulting in an oversupply situation and rising inventory. However, the relatively low level of warehouse receipts and potential supply disruptions need to be monitored [10]. - **Outlook**: Alumina is expected to continue its high - volatility oscillation in the short - term. Traders can short at high prices based on warehouse - receipt changes and consider a 9 - 1 reverse spread [10]. Aluminum - **Information Analysis**: The average price of SMM AOO aluminum increased on August 7th. The inventory of aluminum bars decreased, while the inventory of aluminum ingots increased. The electrolytic aluminum warehouse receipts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange decreased. The US has imposed new tariffs on multiple countries [10][11]. - **Main Logic**: Macro - economic factors, such as the US tariffs, have created uncertainty in demand. The supply capacity is stable, while the demand is in a seasonal lull, with low downstream开工 rates and mainly rigid - demand purchases. Inventory is accumulating, suggesting a short - term weakening trend for aluminum prices [12]. - **Outlook**: Aluminum prices are expected to oscillate in the short - term, and the consumption situation and inventory build - up need further observation [12]. Aluminum Alloy - **Information Analysis**: The price of Baotai ADC12 increased on August 7th. The average price of SMM AOO aluminum decreased slightly. Some aluminum - related projects, such as new recycling plants and smelters, are in the works. A Chinese company reported positive financial results in the first half of 2025 [12][13]. - **Main Logic**: The supply - demand situation for aluminum alloy remains weak in the short - term. The firm waste - aluminum prices provide cost support. Supply and demand are both affected by the off - season, with low downstream purchasing interest. The inventory situation shows a decrease in factory inventory and an increase in social inventory [15]. - **Outlook**: The prices of ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 are expected to oscillate at a low level in the short - term, with potential for an upward movement in the future. Traders can consider cross - product arbitrage [15]. Zinc - **Information Analysis**: The spot price of zinc in different regions had a negative premium on August 7th. The SMM seven - region zinc ingot inventory increased to 11.32 million tons. A large - scale lead - zinc smelting project in Xinjiang started production [15][16]. - **Main Logic**: In the short - term, the "anti - involution" sentiment has led to a rebound in the prices of black - series metals. The US dollar index has weakened due to poor employment data. The supply of zinc ore is loosening, and smelters are profitable and willing to produce. However, demand is in a traditional off - season, with limited new orders [16]. - **Outlook**: Zinc prices are expected to oscillate weakly in the short - term, with a long - term bearish outlook as supply is likely to increase while demand growth is limited [16]. Lead - **Information Analysis**: The price of waste electric - vehicle batteries remained stable on August 7th, while the price of SMM1 lead ingots increased slightly. The lead ingot inventory decreased slightly, and the Shanghai lead futures warehouse receipts remained unchanged. Some regenerative lead plants in Anhui were affected by environmental inspections [17]. - **Main Logic**: On the spot market, the discount narrowed slightly, and the price difference between primary and regenerative lead increased. The supply side shows an increase in the production of regenerative lead due to rising raw - material inventory and a partial recovery of primary lead production. On the demand side, the lead - acid battery industry is transitioning from the off - season to the peak season, with an increase in the operating rate [17][19]. - **Outlook**: Lead prices are expected to oscillate due to a combination of macro - economic factors and the changing supply - demand situation in the lead - acid battery market [19]. Nickel - **Information Analysis**: The LME nickel inventory decreased slightly on August 7th, while the Shanghai nickel warehouse receipts also decreased. There have been multiple developments in the nickel industry, including asset acquisitions, investment plans, production - forecast adjustments, and policy proposals in Indonesia [19][20][21][22]. - **Main Logic**: Market sentiment currently drives the nickel market, with stable static valuation. The industry's fundamentals are weakening marginally. The ore supply may loosen after the rainy season, and the impact of Indonesian policies is gradually diminishing. The production of nickel intermediates has recovered, and the price of nickel salts has declined slightly, while the production of nickel sulfate from nickel beans remains unprofitable. High inventory levels put pressure on prices [24]. - **Outlook**: Nickel prices are expected to oscillate widely in the short - term and decline in the long - term [24]. Stainless Steel - **Information Analysis**: The stainless - steel futures warehouse receipts increased on August 7th. The spot price of stainless steel in Foshan had no premium on the same day. The price of nickel iron increased, and the market sentiment was bullish [25]. - **Main Logic**: The prices of nickel iron and chromium iron have stabilized or increased. Despite the traditional off - season, the supply of stainless steel remains high, and there is a risk of weakening demand. The inventory situation has improved, with a reduction in both social and warehouse - receipt inventory [25]. - **Outlook**: Stainless - steel prices are expected to oscillate in the short - term, considering the rising cost and the limited improvement in demand during the off - season. Attention should be paid to inventory changes and cost fluctuations [25]. Tin - **Information Analysis**: The LME tin warehouse receipts increased slightly on August 7th, while the Shanghai tin warehouse receipts decreased. The spot price of 1 tin ingots decreased. It is expected that there will be an increase in tin - ore production starting from August or September [26]. - **Main Logic**: Although the resumption of production in the Wa State's tin mines is expected to increase supply, the current tight supply situation remains unchanged. The low processing fees for tin concentrate and the low operating rate of smelters indicate a supply shortage. However, the demand for tin has weakened marginally in the second half of the year, which limits the upward movement of prices [27]. - **Outlook**: Tin prices are expected to oscillate, with potential for increased volatility in August due to changes in macro - economic, capital, and supply - demand factors [27].

Zhong Xin Qi Huo· 2025-08-07 02:59
Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating [1][5][9] Core Viewpoints - Cost stabilization, recovery, and policy expectations support the high - level consolidation of new energy metals. The supply - side contraction and cost increase expectations in the short - to - medium - term support the prices, but the expected output increase limits the upward space. For Jiangxi lithium mines, before official news on production cuts, one can cautiously bet on short - term potential upward opportunities for lithium through options. Industrial silicon and polysilicon face high production capacity and output but weak demand, and their price increases are slowing down [1] - The market sentiment of industrial silicon is fluctuating, and the silicon price is oscillating; the polysilicon price has wide - range fluctuations; the direction of the lithium carbonate market is unclear, and the price is oscillating [2][5][9] Summary by Related Catalogs 行情观点 Industrial Silicon - **Viewpoint**: The market sentiment is fluctuating, and the silicon price is oscillating. The medium - term outlook is also oscillating [5] - **Information Analysis**: As of August 6, the spot prices of different grades of industrial silicon fluctuated. The domestic inventory increased slightly, with the factory inventory rising by 0.4% month - on - month. In July 2025, the monthly output was 338,000 tons, a 3.2% month - on - month increase but a 30.6% year - on - year decrease. From January to July, the cumulative output was 2.21 million tons, a 20.0% year - on - year decrease. In June, the export volume was 68,323 tons, a 22.8% month - on - month and 11.6% year - on - year increase. From January to June 2025, the cumulative export was 340,705 tons, a 6.6% year - on - year decrease. In June, the domestic photovoltaic new - installed capacity was 14.36GW, a 38.45% year - on - year decrease; from January to June, the cumulative installed capacity was 212.21GW, a 107.07% year - on - year increase. The Guangzhou Futures Exchange adjusted the trading limits of some industrial silicon contracts [5] - **Main Logic**: The supply of industrial silicon is continuously recovering, and the supply pressure may further increase in August. The demand has improved month - on - month, but the inventory and warehouse receipts may continue to accumulate. The silicon price is currently affected by macro - sentiment and coal price fluctuations and is expected to oscillate in the short term. If large factories resume production intensively, it may further suppress the price [6] Polysilicon - **Viewpoint**: The market sentiment is fluctuating, and the polysilicon price has wide - range fluctuations. The medium - term outlook is oscillating [6] - **Information Analysis**: The transaction price range of N - type re - feedstock is 45,000 - 49,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 47,200 yuan/ton, a 0.21% week - on - week increase. The number of polysilicon warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange increased by 70. In June, the export volume was about 2,222.65 tons, a 5.96% month - on - month increase but a 39.67% year - on - year decrease; from January to June 2025, the cumulative export was 11,389.98 tons, a 7.23% year - on - year decrease. In June, the import volume was about 1,112.69 tons, a 40.3% month - on - month increase; from January to June 2025, the cumulative import was 11,209.78 tons, a 47.59% year - on - year decrease. From January to June 2025, the domestic photovoltaic new - installed capacity was 212.21GW, a 107% year - on - year increase. The Guangzhou Futures Exchange adjusted relevant contract parameters [6][7] - **Main Logic**: Macro - sentiment and coal price fluctuations cause wide - range price fluctuations. The supply is expected to increase in the medium - to - long - term, and the demand may weaken in the second half of the year. The anti - cut - throat competition policy has a significant impact on the price, and if the policy expectations fade, the price may reverse [8][9] Lithium Carbonate - **Viewpoint**: The market direction is unclear, and the lithium carbonate price is oscillating. The medium - term outlook is oscillating [9] - **Information Analysis**: On August 6, the closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract increased by 2.62%, and the total open interest increased. The spot prices of battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate decreased. The average price of lithium spodumene concentrate was 760 US dollars/ton, equivalent to 67,800 yuan/ton of lithium carbonate. The warehouse receipts increased by 580 tons [9] - **Main Logic**: The market sentiment has cooled, but supply uncertainties remain. The fundamentals have improved slightly, with production decreasing slightly and demand being stable. The social inventory has decreased slightly, and the warehouse receipt inventory is in line with expectations. The domestic supply - demand is generally balanced in the third quarter, but high prices may stimulate supply. The price may rise if market sentiment recovers, and it will be affected by the outcome of mine shutdowns [10] 行情监测 - The report does not provide specific content for this part [11][17][28]
