1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating. However, for individual metals, the ratings include: - Copper: Expected to be in a "震荡" (oscillation) pattern [5][6] - Alumina: Expected to be "震荡偏弱" (oscillating weakly) [6] - Aluminum: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) range [8][9] - Aluminum Alloy: Expected to have short - term "震荡" (oscillation) and potential upward movement for ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 in the future [9][10] - Zinc: Expected to be "震荡偏弱" (oscillating weakly) in the medium - to - long term [13] - Lead: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) state [14][15][16] - Nickel: Expected to be "偏强" (strong) in the short term and "空头离场" (short - sellers exit) in the medium - to - long term [19] - Stainless Steel: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) range in the short term [21] - Tin: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) state, with potential increased volatility in August [22][23] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Macro - level**: Recent economic data are mixed. European investor and consumer confidence indices in August are weak, but US August existing - home sales and August Euro - US manufacturing PMI flash values are better than expected. Powell's dovish remarks at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting have kept the US dollar weak, which has boosted base metals to some extent. However, Trump's new "tariff stick" on August 26 has cooled investors' optimism, causing base metals to rise first and then fall [1]. - **Supply - demand level**: The reverse invoicing problem has tightened scrap supply, which has disrupted the supply side, but the terminal demand outlook is weak. In the short - to - medium term, the weak US dollar supports prices, but the demand outlook is weak. Whether the inventory will start to decline again in the peak season in September remains to be observed. It is recommended to be cautious about short - selling copper and zinc at high prices. In the long term, the expectation of potential incremental stimulus policies in China still exists, and supply disruptions in copper, aluminum, and tin still exist, with an expectation of tightening supply - demand, which supports base metal prices [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1行情观点 - **Copper**: Powell's dovish speech has increased the probability of a Fed rate cut in September, boosting copper prices. The supply of copper ore and raw materials is still tight, and the risk of smelter production cuts has increased. Currently in the off - season of downstream demand, the inventory accumulation is not obvious. It is expected that copper prices will be supported in the short term due to low inventory. In the future, copper may show an oscillating pattern [5][6]. - **Alumina**: The smelter's operating capacity has recovered to a high level, the supply - demand balance shows an obvious surplus, and the inventory accumulation trend has expanded. The fundamentals are relatively weak. The spot price has accelerated its decline, and the futures price has significantly decreased to repair the basis. It is expected to be oscillating and under pressure in the future [6]. - **Aluminum**: The short - term US rate cut expectation has increased, and the US dollar index is weak. The domestic policy is in a vacuum period. The supply side has new production capacity coming on stream, and the operating capacity and utilization rate are at a high level. The demand side has an increasing expectation of improved orders as the peak season approaches, but the terminal consumption has not strengthened significantly. The inventory accumulation rhythm has been unstable. It is expected that aluminum prices will be in an oscillating range [8][9]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: The short - term supply - demand is weak. The cost side is strongly supported as scrap aluminum follows aluminum ingots. The supply side's off - season production has continued to decline, and some recycling aluminum plants have reduced or stopped production. The demand side is still in a strong off - season atmosphere, and downstream procurement is weak. The factory inventory has continued to decline, and the social inventory has increased. The price is expected to be in an oscillating range in the short term, and there is an expectation of an upward movement in the future for ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 [9][10]. - **Zinc**: The macro - level is negative due to the decline in black - series prices, although Powell's speech has put pressure on the US dollar. The short - term zinc ore supply has become looser, and smelters' profitability is good, with strong production willingness. The demand is in the traditional off - season, and the demand outlook is average. In the short term, zinc prices may be in a high - level oscillation, and in the medium - to - long term, they are expected to decline [13]. - **Lead**: The spot discount has slightly narrowed, the supply has slightly tightened due to the reduction in production by some recycling lead plants and transportation restrictions, and the demand has rebounded as some battery factories have ended their high - temperature holidays. It is expected that there will be a slight shortage of supply - demand this week, and the price will be in an oscillating state [14][15][16]. - **Nickel**: The market sentiment dominates the market, and the industrial fundamentals are marginally weakening. The raw material supply may become looser after the rainy season, and the intermediate product output has recovered. The inventory has accumulated significantly, and the price is under pressure. In the short term, nickel prices are expected to be strong due to the strong performance of the equity market, and short - sellers are expected to exit in the medium - to - long term [19]. - **Stainless Steel**: The nickel - iron price has rebounded, and the chromium - iron price has remained stable. The stainless - steel production has continued to decline, and the inventory pressure has been slightly relieved. It is necessary to pay attention to the realization of demand in the peak season. In the short term, it is expected to be in an oscillating range [21]. - **Tin**: The supply of tin ore is still tight, which strongly supports the bottom of tin prices. However, the terminal demand has weakened marginally in the second half of the year, and the inventory reduction is difficult. It is expected that tin prices will be in an oscillating state, and the volatility may increase in August [22][23]. 3.2行情监测 - The report only lists the names of various metals (copper, alumina, aluminum, aluminum alloy, zinc, lead, nickel, stainless steel, tin) under this section but does not provide specific monitoring content [25][39][51]. 3.3商品指数 - **综合指数**: The commodity index on August 26, 2025, was 2222.35, a decrease of 0.59%; the commodity 20 index was 2472.77，a decrease of 0.54%; the industrial products index was 2257.74, a decrease of 0.78% [138]. - **特色指数**: No specific content is provided [139]. - **板块指数**: The non - ferrous metals index on August 26, 2025, was 2377.52, with a daily decline of 0.65%, a 5 - day increase of 0.40%, a 1 - month decline of 0.49%, and a year - to - date increase of 3.00% [140].

1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - The report does not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating. However, for specific financial derivatives: - Stock index futures are expected to be "oscillating with a bullish bias" [9] - Stock index options are also expected to be "oscillating with a bullish bias" [10] - Treasury bond futures are expected to be "oscillating" [10] 2. Core View of the Report - The stock market rally is not over, and the sentiment in the bond market has improved. Stock index futures are in high - level oscillations with shrinking capital; stock index option trading remains active, and the skewness indicates that the market rally is not over; the bullish sentiment in the bond market continues [2][3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Stock Index Futures - **Market Situation**: On Tuesday, the Shanghai Composite Index opened lower and oscillated, with trading volume shrinking by nearly 500 billion yuan to 2.7 trillion yuan. All four stock index futures varieties reduced their positions by over 10,000 lots [9]. - **Reasons for Oscillations**: High trading volume is not sustainable; during the intensive disclosure period of interim reports, funds are avoiding high - valuation sectors; with the approaching military parade, risk appetite may converge [9]. - **Outlook**: This retracement is defined as an oscillation in a bull market. Loss - making stock price increases, a signal of the end of a bull market, have not appeared. It is recommended to continue holding IM long positions and wait for opportunities to add positions [9]. 3.1.2 Stock Index Options - **Market Situation**: The trading volume of the options market was 14.636 billion yuan, still above the 10 - billion - yuan level. After the decline, the position PCR did not drop significantly, and the skewness index decreased. Volatility is high, with most varieties oscillating at high levels [10][11]. - **Outlook**: The market is still expected to rise. It is recommended to continue holding long - position strategies, such as buying call options or using bull spreads [10][11]. 3.1.3 Treasury Bond Futures - **Market Situation**: Most yields of major inter - bank interest - rate bonds declined. The central bank's open - market operations had a net withdrawal of 17.45 billion yuan, but the inter - bank pledged repurchase rate mostly declined, and the capital market remained loose [4][12]. - **Reasons for Bullish Sentiment**: The decline of the Shanghai Composite Index supported the long - end of the bond market through the stock - bond seesaw effect. This week, trading funds such as fund companies have turned to net buying of bonds [4][12]. - **Outlook**: Short - term risk appetite improvement may disrupt the bond market. It is advisable to focus on opportunities for narrowing long - end basis spreads [4][12]. 3.2 Economic Calendar - The economic calendar lists data such as the US new home sales in July 2025, the S&P/CS housing price index of 20 large and medium - sized cities in the US in June, and the expected data of the eurozone's economic sentiment index and consumer confidence index in August [13]. 3.3 Important Information and News Tracking - The Ministry of Housing and Urban - Rural Development plans to start the renovation of 25,000 old urban residential areas in 2025, and 19,800 have been started from January to July. Six regions including Hebei and Liaoning have a start - up rate of over 90% [14]. - The State Council issued the "Opinions on Deeply Implementing the 'Artificial Intelligence +' Initiative", proposing to increase financial and fiscal support in the field of artificial intelligence [15][16]. - The State - owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission requires state - owned enterprises to further deepen industrial assistance to Tibet and promote major projects such as the Yaxia Hydropower Project and the Sichuan - Tibet Railway [16]. 3.4 Derivatives Market Monitoring - The report mentions monitoring data for stock index futures, stock index options, and treasury bond futures, but specific data details are not provided in the given text [17][21][33]

Report Industry Investment Rating No clear investment rating for the entire industry was provided in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report The chemical sector as a whole continues to oscillate, and the market is awaiting the introduction of specific anti - involution measures from China's petrochemical industry. Although there might be potential policy boosts, it's unclear how much of the supply will be reduced, making it difficult for the chemical industry to embark on a unilateral, independent, and profit - expanding upward trend. Investors should generally approach the market with an oscillatory mindset, waiting for the implementation of specific anti - involution policies in China's petrochemical sector [3][5]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Overview - The US plans to double tariffs on all Indian imports to punish India for buying Russian oil, and India will maintain most of its Russian oil purchases in the coming weeks. Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries have led to a continuous shortage of fuel oil supply in Russia [2]. - The chemical market is in a wait - and - see mode for China's petrochemical anti - involution measures. The olefin industry chain has rebounded in the past two days due to South Korea's naphtha production cuts, but buyers are cautious. Crude oil and coal prices are oscillating, and the chemical industry is unlikely to have a one - sided upward trend [3]. 2. Variety Analysis Crude Oil - **Viewpoint**: Supply pressure persists, and oil prices are oscillating weakly. - **Main Logic**: API data shows a slight inventory draw in the US. OPEC+ supply is accelerating, US production remains high, and non - US non - OPEC+ output will increase steadily in the second half of the year. Refinery operations in China and the US may decline due to rising refined product inventories, making it difficult for oil prices to rebound. - **Outlook**: Oil prices are expected to oscillate weakly, with attention to short - term disturbances from Russia - Ukraine negotiations [10]. Asphalt - **Viewpoint**: As crude oil prices fall, asphalt futures prices are oscillating downward. - **Main Logic**: The short - term negative impacts of tariff hikes, OPEC production increases, and the easing of the Russia - Ukraine conflict are overshadowed by the escalation of the situation. The decline in crude oil prices has dampened the bullish sentiment in the asphalt market. The supply shortage problem has been significantly alleviated, and demand remains unoptimistic. - **Outlook**: The absolute price of asphalt is overvalued, and the monthly spread is expected to decline as warehouse receipts increase [11]. High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: High - sulfur fuel oil prices rose and then fell. - **Main Logic**: The short - term negative impacts are overshadowed by the escalation of the situation. The geopolitical premium of high - sulfur fuel oil has increased but then faced challenges from increased warehouse receipts and falling crude oil prices. There are also factors such as changes in import tariffs and demand. - **Outlook**: Geopolitical upgrades have a short - term impact on prices. Attention should be paid to changes in the Russia - Ukraine situation [12]. Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: Low - sulfur fuel oil follows the oscillation of crude oil. - **Main Logic**: It is affected by factors such as shipping demand decline, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. It also faces supply increases and demand decreases, and is expected to maintain a low - valuation operation. - **Outlook**: It is affected by green fuel substitution and has limited high - sulfur substitution demand space. Currently, it has a low valuation and will fluctuate with crude oil [13]. PX - **Viewpoint**: The price was disturbed by market rumors and rose then fell. - **Main Logic**: There is no clear cost - side guidance. Market rumors about a large - scale PX device production cut, later proven false, caused the price to fluctuate. In the short term, the low inventory provides support for prices and processing fees. - **Outlook**: Oscillation, with attention to the support level of 6750 - 6800, and mid - line buying on dips is recommended [14]. PTA - **Viewpoint**: The supply - demand pattern has improved month - on - month, and device maintenance is on schedule. - **Main Logic**: The cost side provides support, the supply - demand situation is good, and downstream polyester load is stable. The buying sentiment has led to increased sales, and the peak - season expectation still exists. - **Outlook**: Mid - line buying on dips, with support in the 4700 - 5000 range [15]. Pure Benzene - **Viewpoint**: In the short term, it follows market sentiment, and in the medium term, it may return to the fundamentals of inventory accumulation. - **Main Logic**: Positive signals from Russia - Ukraine peace talks have weakened the support for oil prices. South Korea plans to overhaul cracking devices, and the naphtha inventory in the ARA hub is high. Although the port inventory of pure benzene is decreasing, the decline rate is slowing, and there are expectations of future inventory pressure. - **Outlook**: In the short term, sentiment dominates, and it may be strong. In the medium term, if no further anti - involution policies are implemented, it may return to the inventory - accumulation fundamentals [17]. Styrene - **Viewpoint**: In the short term, it follows commodity sentiment, and with more maintenance, profits may expand. - **Main Logic**: The port inventory increased, causing prices to fall. However, news of capacity reduction in China and South Korea and multiple device maintenance plans have stimulated the market. Although the inventory pressure in East China restricts price increases, there are profit - expansion opportunities from September to October. - **Outlook**: Fundamentally, it is bearish, but short - term short - selling is against the trend due to factors such as production restrictions during the September parade and macro - policy releases [19]. Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Viewpoint**: Low inventory provides strong price support. - **Main Logic**: The cost side is supportive, the macro - chemical environment is favorable, and there is a peak - season expectation. Although domestic production is increasing, imports are decreasing, and terminal demand is gradually rising, maintaining a stable upward trend in polyester plant operations and an inventory - reduction logic. - **Outlook**: Price oscillation, with the upper pressure at 4600, and the 09 - 01 reverse arbitrage position can be exited [20]. Short Fiber - **Viewpoint**: It awaits cost guidance from upstream products. - **Main Logic**: With strong upstream performance, short - fiber prices follow the upstream. As the peak season approaches in September, there is an inventory - reduction expectation, and the processing fee is expected to have a lower - bound support, with the absolute price oscillating within a range. - **Outlook**: The absolute price follows raw materials and oscillates in the short term [21]. Polyester Bottle Chip - **Viewpoint**: Processing fees are continuously compressed, and profits are shifting upstream. - **Main Logic**: Upstream prices are strong, and polyester bottle - chip processing fees are passively following. With the peak season ending, there is an inventory - accumulation pressure, and processing fees are severely compressed. - **Outlook**: Oscillation, with the absolute price following raw materials [22]. Methanol - **Viewpoint**: In the near term, it focuses on the macro - environment, and in the long term, there are still overseas disturbance expectations, with the price oscillating. - **Main Logic**: The price oscillated downward on August 26. Some device restart expectations may affect cost transmission through freight increases. The port inventory has increased, and the domestic inventory is still at a relatively low level compared to the same period last year. Although the policy news has boosted the market, the actual impact on methanol is limited. Considering the high probability of overseas device shutdowns in the long term, long - position opportunities in the far - month contracts can be considered. - **Outlook**: Short - term oscillation [25]. Urea - **Viewpoint**: Market news is calm, and the market is weakly consolidating. - **Main Logic**: The market fundamentals are stable, and the market is waiting for positive expectations. The spot price in some regions has fallen, but there is also a price - support expectation. - **Outlook**: Oscillation, waiting for the implementation of demand [26]. LLDPE - **Viewpoint**: As oil prices fall, LLDPE oscillates in the short term. - **Main Logic**: News of domestic and South Korean petrochemical capacity reduction has stimulated the market, but the actual impact is limited. Oil prices are oscillating, and the supply pressure persists. There is still capital - game in the macro - environment, and the consumption expectation for the "Golden September and Silver October" exists. The LLDPE fundamentals are under pressure, with high production and inventory. - **Outlook**: Short - term oscillation, with attention to the peak - season demand [30]. PP - **Viewpoint**: New capacity release and reduced maintenance lead to an oscillatory decline. - **Main Logic**: News of capacity reduction has stimulated the market, but the actual impact is limited. Oil prices are oscillating downward, and the supply pressure persists. PP supply is increasing, and there is inventory pressure in the upstream and mid - stream. Demand is in the off - peak to peak - season transition, and the start - up rate is lower than in previous years, with cautious purchasing. - **Outlook**: Short - term oscillation [31]. PL - **Viewpoint**: In the short term, it follows the oscillation of PP. - **Main Logic**: The olefin market has been boosted by news from China and South Korea. The inventory of propylene enterprises in Shandong is controllable, and the price is stable. The downstream follows demand, and the market is affected by the macro - environment and coal - price rebounds. The processing fee between PP and PL is a key focus. - **Outlook**: Short - term oscillation [32]. PVC - **Viewpoint**: Market sentiment is boosted, and PVC is weakly stabilizing. - **Main Logic**: At the macro - level, there are anti - involution expectations in China and an increased probability of overseas interest - rate cuts. At the micro - level, the PVC fundamentals are under pressure. Production is decreasing due to autumn maintenance, downstream start - up is stable, export expectations are under pressure, and the cost is weakly stable. - **Outlook**: Wide - range oscillation, with market - sentiment improvement as the driving force and inventory accumulation as the pressure [37]. Caustic Soda - **Viewpoint**: The spot - price rebound has slowed, and near - month long positions should be liquidated. - **Main Logic**: At the macro - level, there are anti - involution expectations in China and an，

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillation" [5]. - The mid - term outlooks for individual varieties such as iron ore, coke, etc. are also "oscillation" [7][8][10][11] Core Viewpoints - The black market has limited upside potential due to weak terminal demand expectations, but there is support from supply disruptions and downstream restocking needs. The market will mainly oscillate, and attention should be paid to policy implementation and terminal demand performance [5]. Summary by Related Catalogs Overall Market Analysis - The black market's upward movement lacks drive, with the previous day's gains mostly erased and coking coal leading the decline. Supply constraints for furnace materials remain, and the downside space for prices is limited. Steel apparent demand is weak, and it is in the restocking window before the peak season. If there is topic - driven news, there is a small rebound space; otherwise, it will oscillate. Attention should be paid to future demand and furnace material supply recovery [1]. By Variety Iron Ore - Overseas mine shipments decreased, 45 - port arrivals slightly declined, and total supply is relatively stable. Iron ore demand is expected to remain high as iron - making water production increases slightly. Port inventories decreased slightly. With limited negative driving factors in the fundamentals, prices are expected to oscillate [2][7][8]. Coking Coal - Some coal mines have resumed production, but some are still restricted by accidents and safety inspections. Import volumes are high but have recently declined briefly. Coking coal's short - term rigid demand has slightly decreased, and some mines have inventory accumulation, but overall inventory pressure is not significant. The short - term futures market still has support [2][12]. Coke - The eighth round of price increases has started, with regional differentiation. Some areas' coking production is restricted. Upstream coking enterprises' inventories are still low, and short - term supply and demand remain tight under simultaneous coking and steel production restrictions. Before the parade, the futures market still has support [11]. Alloys - **Manganese Silicon**: Before the parade, manufacturers' raw material restocking is nearly finished, port prices are loosening, and supply pressure is increasing. In the long - term, the supply - demand relationship may become looser, and prices may face downward pressure [2]. - **Silicon Iron**: The current market inventory pressure is not large, and short - term prices are expected to oscillate. However, in the long - term, the supply - demand gap is expected to be filled, and there are concerns in the fundamentals [2]. Glass - After the futures price decline, the spot market sentiment has cooled. Supply is expected to remain stable, and there is some inventory accumulation upstream. Cost support has strengthened due to rising coal prices, but the fundamentals are still weak, and short - term futures and spot prices are expected to oscillate widely [2][13]. Soda Ash - The supply surplus pattern remains unchanged. After the futures price decline, spot trading volume has increased slightly. In the long - term, the price center will decline to promote capacity reduction [2][5][15]. Scrap Steel - The arrival volume at steel mills has decreased, and the fundamentals' contradictions are not prominent. Due to the pressure on finished product prices, electric furnace profits are low, but resources are still tight, and short - term prices are expected to oscillate [9].

Group 1: Report Investment Rating - The investment rating for the precious metals industry is "Oscillating Strongly" [44] Group 2: Core Viewpoints - On Tuesday, the precious metals market maintained an oscillating and strengthening trend. The news of Trump firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook in the morning led to concerns about the Fed's independence, causing the US dollar to plunge briefly and driving up precious metals prices. In the afternoon, disputes over France's fiscal issues led to a decline in European stock markets, and the US dollar recovered briefly. The strong performance of the domestic equity market limited the elasticity of gold. Before the release of next week's non - farm payroll data, the market's expectation of a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut by the Fed in September remained stable, and dovish expectations are expected to continue to dominate the market [2][4] - In the medium term, the outlook for the gold trend is optimistic, but the recovery expectations brought about by the strengthening of emerging market equities may suppress its elasticity. The US labor market is on a downward trend, and the Fed's interest rate cut cycle is expected to resume in September. The Fed's shadow chairman is likely to align with the president's preferences before taking office. Overseas liquidity will maintain an expansion trend in the next 1 - 2 quarters, and the market may trade the risk of the Fed's independence, which will support the gold trend [4] - If the situation shifts to a combination of interest rate cuts and economic recovery, the elasticity of gold will be limited, and silver will benefit more [7] - The weekly range for spot London gold is expected to be between $3300 and $3500, and for spot London silver, it is expected to be between $36 and $40 [7] Group 3: Summary of Key Information Important News - Trump removed Fed Governor Cook from office, but Cook said Trump had no right to fire her and she would not resign [3] - In July, the preliminary value of US durable goods orders decreased by 2.8% month - on - month, better than the expected 4% decrease.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the precious metals industry is "oscillating on the strong side" [1][3] 2. Core Viewpoints - The market remains in a dovish atmosphere after the Jackson Hole meeting, with precious metals oscillating and strengthening. However, the accelerated rise of the domestic equity market and high risk appetite are attracting funds, limiting the upward range of precious metals. With few key economic data this week, the focus is on next week's US labor market data. Before that, the expectation of interest rate cuts may remain positive, and the precious metals market is expected to continue its oscillating and strengthening trend [1][3] - In the medium term, there is optimism about the gold trend, but the strengthening of emerging - market equities may suppress its elasticity. The US labor market is on a downward trend, and the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle is expected to restart in September. Overseas liquidity will likely expand in the next 1 - 2 quarters, and potential risks related to the Fed's independence may support the gold trend. However, strong global equity markets, especially in emerging markets, may reduce the attractiveness of the precious metals market. A stagflation - like combination of interest rate cuts and a weakening economy is more beneficial to gold, while a combination of interest rate cuts and recovery will benefit silver more [3] 3. Summary by Related Content 3.1 Key Information - In July, the annualized total number of new home sales in the US was 652,000, higher than the expected 630,000. The month - on - month decrease was 0.6% [2] - US White House National Economic Council Director Hasset believes that a Fed interest - rate cut is appropriate. It will take several months to select a new Fed chair, and Powell is unlikely to regain Trump's favor. Hasset also hopes to establish a sovereign wealth fund, and the government may increase equity stakes in industries other than semiconductors [2] - Moody's warns that 22 US states are on recession alert, with nearly one - third of GDP affected [2] 3.2 Price Logic - The precious metals market is influenced by the dovish atmosphere after the Jackson Hole meeting, but the high - risk appetite in the domestic equity market restricts the rise of precious metals. The market is expected to continue its oscillating and strengthening trend before next week's US labor - market data. In the medium term, there are both positive and negative factors for the gold market, and different economic combinations will affect the performance of gold and silver [3] 3.3 Outlook - The weekly range for spot London gold is expected to be between 3300 and 3500, and for spot London silver, it is expected to be between 36 and 40 [3] 3.4 Index Performance - The precious metals index on August 25, 2025, had a daily increase of 1.19%, a 5 - day increase of 1.06%, a 1 - month increase of 1.01%, and a year - to - date increase of 23.49% [46] - The comprehensive commodity index, commodity 20 index, and industrial products index all showed increases, with the comprehensive commodity index up 0.87%, the commodity 20 index up 0.97%, and the industrial products index up 1.02% [44]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the document. 2. Core Views of the Report - The stock market is trending upwards, and the linkage between stocks and bonds is weakening. In the stock index futures market, the sector rotation between high - and low - performing sectors does not change the upward trend. In the stock index options market, the sentiment remains optimistic, and buying call options is still a strong strategy. In the bond market, the sentiment is warming up [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Stock Index Futures - **View**: The sector rotation between high - and low - performing sectors does not change the upward trend. The basis, spread, and position of IF, IH, IC, and IM have changed. The Shanghai Composite Index opened higher and fluctuated on Thursday, hitting a new high. The hot sectors rotated, with agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and petrochemical industries leading the rise, while machinery, power equipment, and national defense and military industries leading the decline. Due to high trading volume and continuous inflow of leveraged funds, the upward trend remains unchanged. It is recommended to hold IM long positions [7]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Allocate IM long positions [7]. 3.1.2 Stock Index Options - **View**: The sentiment remains optimistic, and buying call options is still a strong strategy. The underlying market continued the optimistic sentiment of last week, with all varieties rising. The trading volume of the options market exceeded 20 billion yuan, up 36.72% from the previous trading day. All sentiment indicators in the options market give optimistic expectations. The volatility of each variety continued to rise significantly, approaching the level of April 8, 2025, but still about 10% away from the previous high on April 7 [2][8]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Buy call options and construct bull spreads [8]. 3.1.3 Bond Index Futures - **View**: The bond market sentiment is warming up. The yields of major inter - bank interest - rate bonds generally declined significantly, with long - term bonds performing better than short - term bonds. The central bank made a net investment of 219 million yuan in the open market and a net MLF investment of 30 billion yuan in August. The capital market remains loose. The reaction of long - term bond yields to the stock - bond seesaw effect has weakened. The 30 - year bond yield around 2% has certain cost - effectiveness for insurance and other institutional investors [3][8][10]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Adopt a cautious stance on trends. Consider long - position alternatives for hedging due to high short - position hedging costs. Pay attention to the narrowing of long - term basis and the steepening of the yield curve [10]. 3.2 Economic Calendar - The economic data of the United States on August 25, 2025, shows that the seasonally - adjusted annualized number of new home sales in July was 652,000 units, and the month - on - month change was - 0.61%.

Different agricultural products have different price trends and influencing factors. For example, rubber prices are supported by cost and enter the seasonal rising period, while corn prices are under pressure due to supply and demand factors [1][5]. Group 3: Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Quotes and Views - **Oils and Fats** - **View**: The expected monthly increase in Malaysian palm oil production in August led to an oscillating consolidation of oil prices yesterday. - **Logic**: US government decisions on bio - diesel exemptions, strong US soybean exports, macro - environment factors (Fed rate - cut expectations, dollar weakness, and oil price trends), and industry - specific factors such as US soybean yield expectations and the situation of Malaysian palm oil production and exports all affect the oil market [5]. - **Outlook**: In the medium term, there is a high probability of continued strong oscillation [5]. - **Protein Meal** - **View**: Point - price orders support the high - level oscillation of the market. - **Logic**: International factors include US soybean yield estimates, weather conditions, and Brazilian soybean exports; domestic factors involve inventory pressure, supply gaps, and downstream demand [6]. - **Outlook**: The external market is expected to make up for losses and be stronger than the domestic market. The term structure of Dalian soybean meal futures may shift from carry to back. The spot basis may bottom out and rebound, and the market will move within a range [6]. - **Corn and Starch** - **View**: The sentiment is weak, and both the spot and futures markets maintain a weak trend. - **Logic**: Supply - side factors include increased grain sales in the trading link and new - crop production conditions; demand - side factors involve low profits in downstream industries [7]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, prices will oscillate weakly; in the long term, there is a low - absorption idea for the far - month contracts [8]. - **Live Pigs** - **View**: State reserves purchasing affects sentiment, and the futures market rebounds slightly. - **Logic**: Supply is abundant in the short, medium, and long terms, but demand may increase with the cooling of the weather. State reserves purchasing affects market sentiment [8]. - **Outlook**: The market will oscillate. The spot and near - month contracts are under pressure, while the far - month contracts are supported by supply - side capacity - reduction expectations [8]. - **Natural Rubber** - **View**: Rubber prices return to an oscillating and strong trend. - **Logic**: Driven by the overall strength of commodities due to the Fed's rate - cut expectations and weather - related speculation. The short - term fundamentals support the price [10]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, rubber prices are expected to oscillate strongly [10]. - **Synthetic Rubber** - **View**: The market oscillates strongly. - **Logic**: It follows the trend of natural rubber and is supported by the short - term tight supply of raw material butadiene [12]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, the butadiene price may rise slightly, and the market will oscillate strongly [12]. - **Cotton** - **View**: The quota is announced, and cotton prices increase in volume and rebound. - **Logic**: Low commercial inventory, limited impact of the import quota on supply, improving downstream demand, and higher expected purchase prices of ginning mills support the price. New - crop production may put pressure on prices [13]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, the price range is 13,500 - 14,300 yuan/ton [14]. - **Sugar** - **View**: Sugar prices oscillate within a range. - **Logic**: In the international market, Brazilian sugar production is in an upward phase; in the domestic market, the increase in imports affects the price.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, the mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillating" [6]. For individual products, most are rated as "oscillating", including iron ore, coke,焦煤, glass,纯碱, manganese silicon, and silicon iron [8][9][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After about a week of decline, the black building materials entered the lower end of the valuation range. With supply constraints on furnace materials and expectations of stricter safety supervision, prices rebounded significantly. As the off - peak and peak seasons are approaching, the apparent demand for steel remains weak, but it's not yet the time to verify terminal demand. With low inventory pressure in each link of the black industry chain and in the pre - peak season restocking window, prices are expected to have a small rebound space. Attention should be paid to future demand performance and furnace material supply recovery [2]. - Overall, after consecutive days of decline, black prices have fallen near the cost support level, and demand negatives have been gradually digested. With supply disturbances in furnace materials and downstream restocking demand, there is a driving force for price rebound. However, the weak expectation of peak - season terminal demand remains, suppressing the upside space. Future focus should be on policy implementation and terminal demand performance [6]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - Core Logic: Overseas mine shipments decreased month - on - month, and the arrival volume at 45 ports slightly declined, close to last year's level, with relatively stable total supply. On the demand side, pig iron production increased slightly, and the end - of - month production restrictions have limited impact, so iron ore demand is expected to remain high. In terms of inventory, the iron ore ports destocked this week, with a slight decrease in total inventory. There are limited bearish drivers in the fundamentals, and the price is expected to oscillate [3]. - Outlook: With high iron ore demand, stable supply and inventory, and limited bearish fundamental drivers, the price is expected to oscillate in the future [9]. 3.2 Carbon Element - Core Logic: Some coal mines in the production area have resumed production, but some are still restricted by accidents and other factors. For example, a 3 - million - ton low - sulfur lean primary coking coal mine in Xiangning, Linfen, Shanxi has been shut down for three days. On the import side, the average daily customs clearance at the Ganqimaodu Port remains above 1,000 vehicles, but there was a short - term decline in the past two days due to the Mongolian customs system. On the demand side, the eighth round of coke price increase has started again, showing regional differentiation. In some areas, coking production is restricted, and the short - term rigid demand for coking coal has slightly declined. Downstream enterprises mainly purchase on demand, and spot transactions have weakened. Some coal mines have started to accumulate inventory, but overall, there is no obvious inventory pressure. The short - term fundamental contradictions are not prominent, and the short - term disk still has support under a healthy fundamental situation [3]. - Outlook: With continuous supply disturbances and difficult significant supply increase before the parade, short - term fundamental contradictions are not prominent, and the short - term disk still has support under a healthy fundamental situation [13]. 3.3 Alloys 3.3.1 Manganese Silicon - Core Logic: Yesterday, the coking coal futures price rose significantly, and the black sector was strong, with manganese silicon oscillating strongly. Manganese silicon manufacturers stocked up on raw materials before the parade, and the restocking is nearly over. With increased arrivals and rising supply pressure, the port ore price has weakened from its high level. In terms of supply and demand, steel mills have good profits, and finished product output remains high. Under the environment of industry profit repair, the resumption of production by manufacturers continues, and the supply - demand relationship of manganese silicon may gradually become looser. In the medium - to - long - term, there may be downward pressure on the manganese silicon price [3]. - Outlook: Currently, the market inventory pressure is controllable, and the cost provides support, so the short - term downward space for the manganese silicon price is limited. But in the medium - to - long - term, as the supply - demand relationship becomes looser, the price may decline. Attention should be paid to the reduction in raw material costs [17]. 3.3.2 Silicon Iron - Core Logic: The current market inventory pressure of silicon iron is not large. In the short - term, the silicon iron price is expected to oscillate. However, in the future, the supply - demand gap will gradually be filled, and there are hidden concerns in the fundamentals. The upside space of the price is not optimistic. Attention should be paid to the dynamics of the coal market and the adjustment of electricity costs [3]. - Outlook: Currently, the market inventory pressure is not large, and the cost provides support, so the short - term downward adjustment space for the silicon iron price is limited. But the medium - to - long - term supply - demand outlook is pessimistic, and the price center is expected to move down. Attention should be paid to the coal market dynamics and the adjustment of electricity costs in the main production areas [18][20]. 3.4 Glass - Core Logic: After the glass futures price fell, the sentiment in the spot market declined, with mid - stream shipments and a significant decline in upstream production and sales. On the supply side, there is still one production line waiting to produce glass, and the overall daily melting volume is expected to remain stable. The upstream has slightly accumulated inventory, with no prominent self - contradictions but more market sentiment disturbances. Recently, the rising coal price has strengthened the cost support, but the fundamentals are still weak [3]. - Outlook: The actual demand is weak, but the policy expectation is strong, and the raw material price is strong. After the transaction of delivery contradictions, the far - month contract still gives a premium. In the medium - to - long - term, market - oriented capacity reduction is still needed, and if the price returns to fundamental trading, it is expected to oscillate downward [15]. 3.5 Steel - Core Logic: There are still contraction disturbances in the supply of coking coal and iron ore. Under the background of high pig iron production, the cost has an upward driving force, and the disk has strong support. The overall spot steel transactions are average, mainly at low prices, and the market sentiment is still cautious. Last week, the production of rebar decreased, and the production of hot - rolled coils increased. As the off - peak season ends, mid - and downstream enterprises are restocking before the parade. The apparent demand for rebar has improved month - on - month, and inventory accumulation has slowed down. The demand for hot - rolled coils remains highly resilient, and inventory continues to accumulate under high production. The supply - demand fluctuations of medium - thick plates and cold - rolled products are limited, with both supply and demand of the five major steel products increasing, and the inventory accumulation speed slowing down [8]. - Outlook: As the off - peak season ends, steel inventory continues to accumulate, and the market is still cautious about the peak - season demand. Both supply and demand will be affected before and after the parade. The blast furnace production restriction situation needs to be tracked, and there may be shutdowns of construction sites and factories in Beijing and surrounding areas. The pre - parade restocking of raw materials may end. Recently, there are continuous disturbances in the cost supply side. The short - term disk is expected to oscillate widely. Future focus should be on steel mill production restrictions and terminal demand performance [8]. 3.6 Coke - Core Logic: In the futures market, the eighth round of coke price increase has started again, combined with continuous rumors of production restrictions and strengthened cost support from coking coal, coke prices were strong yesterday. In the spot market, the quasi - first - grade coke price at Rizhao Port is 1480 yuan/ton (+10). On the supply side, the seventh round of price increases has been fully implemented, and coking enterprise profits have quickly recovered. As the parade approaches, coking production in some areas is gradually restricted, while others maintain normal production. On the demand side, downstream steel mills have good profits and are actively producing. Affected by the parade, transportation in some areas is restricted, so local steel mill inventories are still low, and some coking enterprises have started to accumulate inventory. Currently, the inventory of upstream coking enterprises is still at a low level, and under simultaneous production restrictions on coking and steel, the short - term supply - demand remains tight [12]. - Outlook: As the parade approaches, the expectation of coke production restrictions may be stronger than that of steel mills. The short - term tight supply situation will continue. With the start of the eighth round of price increases and strengthened cost support from coking coal, the short - term disk has strong support [12]. 3.7 Scrap Steel - Core Logic: The average tax - excluded price of crushed scrap in East China is 2174 (+5) yuan/ton, and the rebar - to - scrap price difference in East China is 1032 (+24) yuan/ton. In terms of supply, the arrival volume of scrap steel decreased month - on - month this week. In terms of demand, the profit of electric arc furnaces is low due to the pressure on finished products recently. The profit and loss of electric arc furnaces during off - peak electricity hours in East China is at a tight balance, and there are losses in many other areas during off - peak hours. The daily consumption of scrap steel in electric arc furnaces has decreased month - on - month. In the blast furnace sector, pig iron production has slightly increased, and the daily consumption of scrap steel in long - process production has also slightly increased. The total daily consumption of scrap steel in both long - and short - process production has increased slightly. In terms of inventory, the factory inventory has slightly increased, and the available inventory days have dropped to a relatively low level [10]. - Outlook: The fundamental contradictions of scrap steel are not prominent. The pressure on finished product prices has led to low electric arc furnace profits, but resources are still tight. The price is expected to oscillate in the short - term [10]. 3.8 Sodium Carbonate - Core Logic: The delivered price of heavy - quality sodium carbonate in Shahe is 1230 - 1280 yuan/ton (-). The domestic commodity market sentiment has improved, and as the delivery approaches, the fundamental logic returns, with a neutral macro - environment. On the supply side, the production capacity has not been cleared, and there is still long - term suppression. The production is at a high level, and supply pressure remains. There is no short - term disturbance to production, and production is expected to continue to increase. On the demand side, heavy - quality sodium carbonate is expected to maintain rigid - demand procurement. There are still ignition production lines that have not produced glass, the float glass daily melting volume is expected to be stable, and the daily melting volume of photovoltaic glass is expected to bottom out initially, currently at 86,500 tons. The demand for heavy - quality sodium carbonate is flat. In the light - quality sodium carbonate sector, downstream procurement is flat, but the overall downstream restocking sentiment is weak, and there is resistance to high prices. Sentiment affects the disk. As the shipping problem eases, mid - stream inventory accumulates, and downstream acceptance is weak [16]. - Outlook: The oversupply pattern remains unchanged. After the disk price drops, there is a small increase in spot - futures transactions. It is expected to oscillate widely in the future. In the long - term, the price center will continue to decline to promote capacity reduction [16].
