Core Views of the Report - The report analyzes the market trends of various agricultural products, including supply - demand relationships, inventory changes, and policy impacts. Overall, most agricultural products are expected to face a situation of weak fluctuations in the short - to - medium term, with a few showing potential for long - term improvement [1][5][7]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Views - **Oils and Fats**: Due to factors such as the smooth progress of Brazilian soybean planting, the "shutdown" of the US government affecting data updates, and changes in Indonesian biodiesel policies, soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil are expected to fluctuate. The domestic soybean oil inventory may peak and decline, while palm oil may continue to accumulate inventory, and rapeseed oil inventory may continue to decrease [5]. - **Protein Meal**: The current supply pressure is dominant. With the smooth progress of US soybean harvesting, poor export prospects, and rapid sowing in South America, soybean meal and rapeseed meal are expected to fluctuate. The domestic supply of soybean meal is expected to increase in the fourth quarter, and the consumption demand is expected to be stable or slightly increase [6]. - **Corn and Starch**: New grain sales pressure is coming, and the futures and spot prices continue to decline. In the short term, the new grain harvest pressure needs to be resolved, and there is a risk of a short - term rebound due to tight inventory. In the long term, the corn market is expected to be in a pattern of short - term weakness and long - term strength [7]. - **Hogs**: After continuous price declines, farmers resist price cuts, and a small amount of second - fattening has entered the market. Supply is abundant in the short - term, and the demand is in the off - season after the National Day. In the long term, if the "anti - involution" policy is implemented, the supply pressure is expected to ease in the second half of 2026 [8]. - **Natural Rubber**: Due to weak fundamentals and the impact of the overall commodity atmosphere, the price center has moved down slightly. The macro factor accounts for a large proportion, and it is recommended to wait and see. It is expected to maintain a fluctuating bottom - seeking trend [10]. - **Synthetic Rubber**: The market sentiment is weak, the cost side is weakening, and the overall production this year is high, resulting in high inventory. It is expected to maintain a fluctuating bottom - grinding trend, and there is a possibility of hitting a new low for the year [14]. - **Cotton**: Based on the expectation of a large increase in production in the new season, the cotton price is expected to fluctuate weakly. Before the large - increase production expectation is disproven, the operation idea is to short on rebounds [15]. - **Sugar**: In October, Brazil's sugar exports increased significantly, and both domestic and international sugar prices declined. In the long - term, the global sugar market is expected to have an oversupply situation, and the sugar price is expected to continue to decline [18]. - **Pulp**: In the short term, the futures price is sideways, and the spot price has increased. The main reason is the large virtual - to - real ratio of the 01 contract. Fundamentally, there are more negative factors, and it is expected to fluctuate weakly [20]. - **Offset Paper**: The spot price is stable, and the futures price fluctuates. The supply - demand pattern is loose, and there is pressure to lower prices in the tender [21]. - **Logs**: The delivery side is negative, and the futures price is in a weak state. The demand is weak, and the inventory is at a relatively high level. It is expected to fluctuate weakly [23]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring - The report lists various agricultural product varieties, including oils and fats, protein meal, corn, starch, hogs, cotton, sugar, pulp, offset paper, and logs, but specific data monitoring details are not provided in the text [25][45][58]. 3.3 Commodity Index - **Composite Index**: The comprehensive index, specialty index (including the Commodity 20 Index and the Industrial Products Index), and sector index (Agricultural Products Index) are presented.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - Tariff concerns persist, limiting the upside potential of base metals. Although Trump's tariff threat has a negative impact, the marginal negative effect is weakening. The potential incremental stimulus policies can partially offset the negative impact of the tariff policy. In the short - to medium - term, the supply - demand of base metals is expected to tighten, supporting prices. Long - term, there are still expectations of incremental stimulus policies and supply disturbances for copper, aluminum, and tin [3]. - Copper: Trade frictions lead to a short - term decline in copper prices. Supply constraints exist, and long - term, the price center may shift upward [8][9]. - Alumina: The fundamentals are still weak, and the price is under pressure [9]. - Aluminum: Pay attention to consumption changes, and the price fluctuates at a high level. In the medium - term, the price center may shift upward [12][13]. - Aluminum alloy: The cost provides support, and the price fluctuates within a range. Consider cross - variety arbitrage opportunities [13][14]. - Zinc: Inventory continues to accumulate, and the price fluctuates with non - ferrous metals. In the long - term, there is a risk of price decline [15]. - Lead: Recycled lead smelters are about to resume production, and the price fluctuates downward [16]. - Nickel: LME nickel inventory exceeds 240,000 tons, and the price fluctuates widely. Short - term, it is in a wide - range shock; long - term, it is under observation [18][20]. - Stainless steel: The price of nickel iron weakens, and the stainless - steel price drops. Short - term, it is expected to fluctuate within a range [21][24]. - Tin: Supply constraints remain, and the price fluctuates [24]. Summary According to Related Catalogs 1.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. Group 2: Report's Core View - Precious metals are in a long - term bull market and have strategic allocation value, with the decline of the US dollar credit as the core cornerstone [3]. - The long - term upward drivers of precious metals are composed of "interest rate cut pricing + policy uncertainty + geopolitical risks" [1][3]. - In the next 1 - 2 quarters, there is still room for trading Fed rate cuts, and the risks related to independence remain, so the interest rate - end drivers persist [3]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Key Information - Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting from November 1st and consider expanding key software export restrictions, and then his stance eased, but the market still focuses on the negotiation uncertainty around APEC [2]. - The US government shutdown has entered the third week, affecting fiscal implementation and economic data release [2]. - Powell said the economy is struggling among growth, employment, and price risks, and the market tends to price in 25bp rate cuts in October and December [2]. - The Russia - Ukraine conflict continues, maintaining geopolitical risk aversion [2]. Price Logic - On October 14th, gold and silver prices rose significantly and then fell. The volatility of precious metals has increased this week, showing characteristics of the end of a phased rise. Short - term volatility risks should be watched out for [3]. - Gold's decline today was due to the strengthening of the US dollar, the easing of tariff uncertainty, and capital de - leveraging and profit - taking [3]. - Silver's decline was larger than gold's, due to basis convergence, cooling of squeeze - out trading, and the self - strengthening of high volatility [3]. Outlook - This week, attention should be paid to the government shutdown, tariff path guidance, and geopolitical events. The price range for London gold is [4020 - 4200] US dollars per ounce, and for London silver is [50 - 55] US dollars per ounce [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "oscillation" [5]. 2. Core View of the Report - As the traditional peak season nears its end, the industry's terminal demand support is expected to weaken further. Future market price increases will rely more on policies and the macro - level. It is necessary to continue to monitor the possibility of positive signals from the macro and policy fronts [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Iron and Steel and Related Products 3.1.1 Steel - Core logic: Uncertainty in Sino - US trade relations persists, cost - side support is loosening, and the futures market is weak. Spot market transactions are generally weak, with low speculative interest. Iron - water production is decreasing from a high level, electric - furnace profits are poor, and steel mills are conducting some maintenance and production conversions. After the National Day holiday, demand recovery is limited. With high supply, the inventory of five major steel products has increased significantly, and the fundamentals are weak [6]. - Outlook: Steel inventory is at a moderately high level, and the fundamentals are lackluster. Considering increased overseas risks, short - term futures prices are expected to face pressure. However, due to potential positive signals from the end - of - October meeting and the difficulty of a trend - like decline in costs under high iron - water production, the downside space is limited [6]. 3.1.2 Iron Ore - Core logic: Spot market prices have fallen significantly. Overseas mine shipments have decreased slightly, and the arrival volume at 45 ports has increased significantly. The demand - side iron - water production is still at a high level, and some steel mills plan to replenish inventory after the holiday. Port inventory has increased, and overall inventory pressure is not prominent [6]. - Outlook: There is still support for the rigid demand for iron ore, short - term supply is generally stable, and fundamental pressure is not significant. However, macro - level disturbances and uncertainties in Sino - US trade relations limit the upside space, and short - term prices are expected to oscillate [7]. 3.1.3 Scrap Steel - Core logic: The supply of scrap steel has recovered this week, approaching the same - period level in previous years. Demand has decreased as finished - product prices are under pressure and electric - furnace profits are poor. Inventory has decreased slightly during the holiday [8]. - Outlook: With insufficient fundamental drivers, scrap - steel prices are expected to follow finished - product prices in the short term [8]. 3.2 Carbon - Related Products 3.2.1 Coke - Core logic: The futures market is under pressure and oscillating. On the spot side, supply is temporarily stable, demand is supported by iron - water production, and overall inventory is at a low level. The price of coke is in a stalemate between rising and falling due to the game between coking plants and steel mills [9]. - Outlook: With rigid demand support, limited supply growth, and a healthy short - term fundamental situation, coke prices are expected to remain stable in the future [9]. 3.2.2 Coking Coal - Core logic: The futures market is under pressure and oscillating. Supply is generally stable, but imports are affected by some factors. Demand is supported by coke production, and inventory is at a low level. Spot prices are oscillating steadily [10]. - Outlook: After coal mines return to pre - holiday production levels, there is limited room for output growth. Import recovery will take time, and with high short - term coke production, the fundamental contradictions are not prominent. Considering the warm macro - environment, prices are expected to oscillate [10]. 3.3 Other Products 3.3.1 Glass - Core logic: With the approaching of important domestic meetings, the supply side has limited changes. Demand is in the peak season, but due to large intermediate - level inventory and limited restocking ability, the supply - demand fundamentals are weak. The upstream is facing pressure to increase inventory and reduce prices [11]. - Outlook: After the National Day holiday, production and sales are poor, and short - term prices are expected to oscillate weakly. In the long term, market - based capacity reduction is needed, and prices are expected to decline [11]. 3.3.2 Soda Ash - Core logic: Supply is still high, and demand is stable with some differences between heavy and light soda ash. The industry is in a bottom - clearing stage, and upstream inventory is expected to increase. Prices are expected to oscillate weakly [13]. - Outlook: The oversupply situation remains unchanged. Prices are expected to oscillate widely following macro - changes, and the price center will decline in the long term to promote capacity reduction [13]. 3.3.3 Manganese Silicon - Core logic: The terminal steel - using demand peak season is lackluster, and the manganese - silicon futures market has followed the black - goods sector. The first - round inquiry price has decreased, and the market is waiting and watching. Cost - side prices have slightly declined, demand is resilient, but supply is at a high level, and inventory - reduction difficulty is increasing [14]. - Outlook: In the short term, high costs, peak - season demand, and policy expectations support prices, but due to pessimistic supply - demand expectations, the price center may decline after the peak season [14]. 3.3.4 Ferrosilicon - Core logic: The terminal steel - using demand in the peak season is weak, and the ferrosilicon futures market has followed the black - goods sector. The first - round inquiry price has decreased, and market confidence is low. Supply is at a high level, and inventory - reduction difficulty is increasing. Demand from steel mills is resilient, but the metal - magnesium market is oversupplied [15]. - Outlook: In the short term, high costs, peak - season demand, and policy expectations support prices, but as the supply - demand relationship becomes looser, prices may decline after the peak season [15].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Gold: Potential [5] - Crude Oil: Potential [5] - Silver: On hold [5] - Copper: On hold [5] - Lead: On hold [5] - Zinc: On hold [5] Core Viewpoints - Maintains the view that the RMB will remain stable with a slight upward trend in the second half of the year, with the downside space around 7.05. The impact of the latest tariff threats on the RMB is likely to be less. Focus on the appreciation opportunity in the fourth quarter [6] - Recommends going long on SHFE Gold and short on COMEX Gold due to the low valuation of the gold price spread and the potential negative impact of escalating trade frictions on the RMB [5] - Suggests going long on Brent crude oil and shorting SC crude oil as domestic port inventories remain high, refinery processing volumes are under pressure, and the spot market for Middle Eastern crude oil is weak [5] Summary by Directory Precious Metals - **Gold**: Last week, the gold price differential fluctuated lower, and the overseas COMEX - LBMA spread declined. This week, recommends going long on the domestic - international gold price spread at a low level as the valuation of the gold price spread remains low and escalating trade frictions may weigh on the RMB [13][14] - **Silver**: Last week, the internal and external price spread of silver fluctuated downward, and the overseas COMEX - LBMA spread dropped sharply. This week, suggests waiting for the bullish opportunity after the situation eases as the short - term overseas price remains strong due to the shortage of London silver spot [20] Non - Ferrous Metals - **Copper**: Last week, Chinese copper inventories were de - stocked slowly, and the copper import profit window had a significant loss. This week, recommends gradually taking profit on the strategy of going long on LME copper and shorting SHFE copper [26] - **Aluminum**: Last week, the short - term domestic - international ratio remained range - bound with fluctuations, and the social inventory of domestic aluminum ingots continued to accumulate. This week, suggests temporarily observing cross - market arbitrage [32][33] - **Zinc**: Last week, there was already a profit in the spot export of Chinese zinc ingots to Southeast Asia, and the delivery window for warehouse receipt submission in Southeast Asia was close to opening. This week, recommends closing the position of going long on LME zinc and shorting SHFE zinc [38] - **Lead**: Last week, previously affected recycled lead smelters resumed production, and as the delivery of the SHFE Lead 2510 approached, the visible inventory of domestic lead ingots was expected to increase. Overseas lead inventories started de - stocking again but remained at a high level. This week, suggests temporarily observing cross - market arbitrage [44][49] - **Nickel**: Last week, the import window was closed, with fluctuations within a numerical range, and the situation of extreme price differences improved significantly. This week, suggests temporarily observing cross - market arbitrage [50] - **Tin**: Last week, the tin ratio rebounded, the spot tin import window remained closed, the import loss was 19,251 yuan/ton, and the driving force behind the tin price spread was not obvious. This week, suggests temporarily observing cross - market arbitrage [54] Ferrous Metals - **Iron Ore**: Last week, the iron ore price spread remained in a narrow range with no significant drivers. This week, recommends maintaining a wait - and - see attitude [60] Energy - **Crude Oil**: Last week, the SC - Brent price spread fluctuated. This week, recommends shorting SC and going long on Brent as China's inventories are at a high level, imports have slowed down since September, and the spot market for Middle Eastern crude oil is weak. Hold the spread strategy during the contract rollover period and pay attention to freight risks [65][66] Agriculturals - **Soybean**: Last week, import crushing margins were consolidating, and the Chinese market was expected to outperform ICE. This week, recommends short - term observation [71] - **Sugar**: Last week, import crushing margins edged lower, and the Chinese market was expected to outperform ICE in the medium to long term. This week, recommends short - term observation [75] - **Natural Rubber**: Last week, there was little change, and the price spread remained stable. Globally, as the tapping season began, there was an expectation of increased supply, but the demand side showed no improvement. This week, recommends observation [78] Overseas Arbitrage - **COMEX - LME Copper**: Last week, the U.S. White House stated that refined copper was excluded from tariffs, which differed from market expectations, and the premium of COMEX copper over LME copper remained at a low level. This week, recommends observing the COMEX - LME copper arbitrage position [84] - **Brent - Dubai EFS**: Last week, the Brent - Dubai EFS fluctuated. This week, recommends observation. Although OPEC+ is increasing production, the short - term medium and heavy crude oil may be supported by the profit of middle distillate refined oil, and the re - widening of the light - heavy oil price difference may need to wait. Pay attention to freight disturbances [89][90] - **Brent - WTI**: Last week, the Brent - WTI spread fluctuated. This week, recommends observation. The U.S. production remains resilient, and refined oil inventories are high, but the expected decline in U.S. production due to falling oil prices may support the U.S. fundamentals, and the spread will fluctuate [95][96] - **TTF - NYMEX NG M1**: Last week, the spread fluctuated at a low level. In the short term, both Europe and the U.S. are in the off - season for consumption, and freight performance is weak. This week, recommends short - term observation. In the medium term, the expected low temperature in north - western Europe in winter is stronger than that in the U.S., and the European inventory reserve adequacy rate is lower than that in the U.S., so the winter spread is expected to rise [99][100]

1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Despite Trump threatening to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese goods and then signaling willingness to reach an agreement, the RMB exchange - rate implied volatility remained low, and the impact of this trade friction on the exchange - rate market was far lower than during the April reciprocal tariff period [2] 3. Summary by Related Content Reasons for the Stable Performance of the RMB - After the holiday, the domestic central parity rate was continuously raised, and the adjustment range of the counter - cyclical factor increased, sending a "stable exchange - rate" signal to support the RMB [2] - The US faces risks such as government shutdown and a weakening labor market, which may increase the US demand for an agreement, and the market has pre - digested this round of tariff friction [2] - The Sino - US swap points have further narrowed, reducing the impact of Carry on the RMB spot exchange rate [2]

Group 1: Report Core View - Methanol futures prices have fluctuated significantly recently, mainly due to intensified trading behavior on the futures market under the coexistence of inventory pressure, olefin drag, and Iranian disruptions. The current near - term fundamentals of methanol face significant pressure, but there are still expectations of overseas shutdowns in winter in the long - term. Considering short - term news, the long - short game on the futures market is intense, and investors are advised to be cautious and view it as a wide - range oscillation [3] Group 2: Summary by Related Content Fundamental Situation - As of October 9, the total inventory of methanol ports in China was 1543200 tons, an increase of 51000 tons compared with the previous data. The inventory in the East China region increased by 47800 tons, and that in the South China region increased by 3200 tons. The port inventory is at the highest level in the past five years, and the domestic production facilities continue to operate at a relatively high rate, so short - term supply pressure still exists [3] Downstream Market - The prices of core downstream olefins have continued to decline due to Sino - US disturbances and weak oil prices, which is the main factor restricting methanol prices [3] International Situation - There are still disruptions from Iran. The US previously imposed sanctions on some Iranian vessels, including some methanol transport vessels. But early today, Trump's stance towards Iran changed, suggesting the possibility of lifting sanctions, which has short - term impacts on the futures market and significantly increases the volatility of methanol [3]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The volatility of precious metals has increased, and while they are in a long - term bull market, short - term risks should be watched out for. Precious metals are in an annual - level bull market, with the decline of the US dollar credit as the core foundation, and they have long - term strategic allocation value [2][5]. 3. Summary Based on Content Price Performance - On October 14, gold and silver prices rose significantly and then fell. By the domestic market close, the gains of Shanghai gold and silver exceeded 2%. The intraday high of spot London gold reached $4179 per ounce, and that of spot London silver reached $53.5 per ounce. Since this week, the volatility of gold and silver prices has increased significantly, and the prices adjusted after the intraday high, showing a certain tail - end feature [4]. Driving Factors for the Uptrend Since August - After the deterioration of the non - farm payrolls data in early August, the negative factors suppressing precious metal prices were gradually digested, and the market shifted to a bull - dominated situation. On August 22, Fed Chairman Powell turned dovish at the Jackson Hole meeting, confirming the start of a new round of interest - rate cuts, and the rise of precious metals officially began. Since late August, the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations and the risk of the Fed's independence have been the core driving factors for price increases. Elements such as the US government shutdown, repeated geopolitical conflicts, Japanese right - wing extremism, and the risk of trade friction escalation have also driven the prices up. In addition, the shortage of spot London silver has led to a rare premium in the spot price, and silver has shown greater elasticity [4]. Short - term Risks - After the National Day holiday, the price volatility has increased significantly, and short - term price fluctuation risks have intensified. The increase in volatility is often a tail - end feature of the phased uptrend of precious metals. Before October, the volatility of gold and silver was always low, and the price increase was relatively stable. After the National Day, the increase accelerated, and short - term adjustment risks should be noted. The impacts of the US government shutdown and the escalation of trade frictions are being gradually digested [5]. Long - term Outlook - Precious metals are still in a long - term bull market. In the next 1 - 2 quarters, there is still room for trading on the Fed's interest - rate cuts, and the risk of the Fed's independence due to personnel changes has not been eliminated, so the positive driving force from the interest - rate side remains. In the long run, factors such as the over - issuance of US debt, the lack of political and trade order under de - globalization, the decline in the intrinsic value of credit currency, the continuous increase in the value of physical currency, and the steady increase in the precious - metal holdings of central banks and ETFs will keep the price centers of gold and silver in a long - term upward channel [5].
