1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report provides investment ratings for various non - ferrous metals and related products, with most being rated as "震荡" (sideways movement), some as "震荡偏弱" (sideways with a weak bias). The specific ratings are as follows: - Copper: Sideways [7] - Alumina: Sideways [7] - Aluminum: Sideways [9] - Aluminum Alloy: Sideways [10] - Zinc: Sideways with a weak bias [12] - Lead: Sideways [13] - Nickel: Sideways in the short - term, hold short positions in the medium - to - long - term [20] - Stainless Steel: Sideways in the short - term [21] - Tin: Sideways [22] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overall non - ferrous metals: Weak US dollar supports non - ferrous metals, but the weakening demand needs to be emphasized. In the short - to - medium - term, the supply - demand situation is gradually loosening, and the risk of weakening demand is increasing, which exerts negative pressure on the prices of base metals. It is recommended to short copper and zinc on rallies. In the long - term, the expectation of potential incremental stimulus policies in China still exists, and there are still supply disturbances in copper, aluminum, and tin, so the supply - demand is expected to tighten, which supports the prices of base metals [1] - Individual metals: - Copper: Overseas recession risk rises, and copper prices are under pressure [2][6] - Alumina: Warehouse receipts continue to increase, and alumina is under sideways pressure [2][7] - Aluminum: Pay attention to consumption, and aluminum prices continue to rise [2][8] - Aluminum Alloy: Strong cost support, and the price is in high - level sideways movement [2][9] - Zinc: The price of the black series rebounds again, and zinc prices are in high - level sideways movement [2][11] - Lead: Cost still provides support, and lead prices move sideways [2][12] - Nickel: Market sentiment fluctuates, and nickel prices move in a wide range [2][14] - Stainless Steel: The price of nickel iron continues to rise, and the stainless - steel futures price moves up [2][21] - Tin: Raw material supply remains tight, and tin prices are in high - level sideways movement [2][22] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Copper - Information: The US will impose a 50% tariff on imported semi - finished copper products and copper - intensive derivative products starting from August 1. The Fed maintained the benchmark interest rate. In July, SMM China's electrolytic copper production increased significantly. As of August 11, copper inventory decreased slightly. The US July non - farm payrolls data was far below expectations [6] - Main Logic: Macroeconomic factors show that overseas recession risk rises, and copper prices are under pressure. The supply of copper raw materials is still tight, and the risk of smelter production cuts increases. The downstream replenishment willingness weakens, and the upward momentum of copper prices weakens. Investors are becoming more cautious as the expiration date of the reciprocal tariff approaches [7] - Outlook: Copper supply constraints still exist, and inventory is still at a low level. However, demand is marginally weakening, and the US copper tariff is unfavorable to the Shanghai copper price. Copper is expected to show a sideways pattern [7] Alumina - Information: On August 11, the spot price of alumina in various regions decreased slightly. An electrolytic aluminum plant in Xinjiang tendered for alumina, and the winning price decreased in the low - price range. The alumina warehouse receipts increased [7] - Main Logic: In the short - term, the alumina market is dominated by anti - involution sentiment and warehouse receipt issues, with high volatility. Fundamentally, smelters have sufficient low - cost ores, and the operating capacity has recovered to a high level. The supply - demand balance shows an obvious surplus, inventory is accumulating, and the spot price is slightly weakening [7] - Outlook: In the short - term, alumina is expected to maintain high - volatility and wide - range sideways movement. Try shorting on rallies based on warehouse receipt changes, and gradually close out the 9 - 1 reverse spread [8] Aluminum - Information: On August 11, the average price of SMM AOO aluminum decreased slightly. The inventory of aluminum rods and electrolytic aluminum ingots in the main domestic consumption areas increased. The Shanghai Futures Exchange's electrolytic aluminum warehouse receipts increased. The US imposed new tariffs on multiple countries [8] - Main Logic: In the short - term, the US non - farm payrolls data was below expectations, and the new round of US tariffs on multiple countries was in line with expectations. The supply - side operating capacity is stable, and the marginal change is small. The demand - side is in the off - season, with low initial - stage operating rates and weak demand. Inventory is accumulating, and the aluminum price is expected to move sideways in the short - term [9] - Outlook: The short - term consumption situation and inventory accumulation rhythm need to be observed, and the price is expected to move in a range [9] Aluminum Alloy - Information: On August 11, the price of ADC12 remained unchanged. The average price of SMM AOO aluminum decreased. Some aluminum - related projects in the US are under construction or in operation. The performance of Shunbo Alloy in H1 2025 was announced, and the retail sales of the passenger car market in July decreased [10] - Main Logic: The short - term supply - demand situation is weak on both sides. The scrap aluminum price is firm, providing cost support. The supply - side off - season operating rate continues to decline, and the demand - side is in a strong off - season atmosphere. The inventory shows a pattern of decreasing factory inventory and increasing social inventory. The price of cast aluminum alloy is expected to move in a range [10] - Outlook: In the short - term, ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 are in low - level sideways movement, and the price follows that of electrolytic aluminum. There is room for an upward movement in the future, and cross - variety arbitrage can be considered [11] Zinc - Information: On August 11, the spot price of zinc in different regions was at a discount to the main contract. As of August 11, the inventory of zinc ingots increased. A lead - zinc smelting project in Xinjiang was put into production [11] - Main Logic: Macroeconomically, the demand for steel is stabilizing, and the black - series product prices are rebounding. The US non - farm payrolls data was below expectations, and the US dollar index declined. The short - term supply of zinc ore is loosening, and smelters' profitability is good. The domestic consumption is in the traditional off - season, and the demand is generally expected. In the long - term, the supply of zinc is expected to increase, and the demand growth is limited [12] - Outlook: In August, zinc ingot production will remain at a high level, and downstream demand is in the off - season. Zinc ingot inventory may continue to accumulate. However, the rebound of black - series product prices and the short - term squeeze on LME zinc suggest that the zinc price will show a sideways movement [12] Lead - Information: On August 11, the price of waste electric vehicle batteries remained unchanged, and the price of lead ingots was stable. The social inventory of lead ingots decreased slightly, and the Shanghai lead warehouse receipts increased [12] - Main Logic: In the spot market, the discount is stable, and the price difference between primary and recycled lead is stable. On the supply side, the price of waste batteries is stable, and the production of recycled lead is affected by environmental protection. Some primary lead smelters are resuming production. On the demand side, some battery factories are on holiday due to high temperatures, but the lead - acid battery market has an active trade - in activity [13] - Outlook: The US economic recession risk is increasing, and the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation suppresses the US dollar index. The supply of lead ingots may continue to increase slightly this week, and the supply - demand is expected to be slightly in surplus. The cost of recycled lead provides strong support, and the lead price is expected to move sideways [14] Nickel - Information: On August 11, LME nickel inventory decreased slightly, and Shanghai nickel warehouse receipts increased. There were multiple events in the nickel industry, such as asset acquisitions, investment plans, and production adjustments [14] - Main Logic: Market sentiment still dominates the market, and the industrial fundamentals are marginally weakening. The raw material supply may loosen after the rainy season. The production of intermediate products has recovered, and the price of nickel salts has slightly declined. The surplus of electrolytic nickel is serious, and the inventory has accumulated significantly [20] - Outlook: LME nickel inventory has exceeded 210,000 tons. Nickel prices will move in a wide range in the short - term and hold short positions in the medium - to - long - term [20] Stainless Steel - Information: The stainless - steel futures warehouse receipts increased slightly. The spot price of stainless steel was at a discount to the main contract. The price of high - nickel pig iron increased [21] - Main Logic: The price of nickel iron has stopped falling and rebounded, and the price of chrome iron is stable. The stainless - steel production in July decreased, and the supply - side over - capacity pressure has been relieved. Attention should be paid to the fulfillment of the peak - season demand [21] - Outlook: The cost has increased recently. Attention should be paid to the possibility of production cuts by steel mills. The market's acceptance of high - price products is limited. The stainless - steel price is expected to move in a range in the short - term [21] Tin - Information: On August 11, the LME tin warehouse receipts increased, and the Shanghai tin warehouse receipts decreased. The spot price of tin remained unchanged [22] - Main Logic: The resumption of production in Wa State does not change the tight supply of tin ore in China. The export of refined tin in Indonesia may decline, and African tin production may be affected by the rainy season. The supply - side tightness provides strong support for the tin price. However, the terminal demand for tin is marginally weakening in the second half of the year, and inventory reduction is difficult [22] - Outlook: The tight supply of tin ore provides support for the tin price. The tin price is expected to move sideways. The volatility of the tin price may increase in August [24]

Hog supply and demand remain loose, with prices oscillating narrowly. Natural rubber prices rise due to strong raw material support, and synthetic rubber prices go up due to tight raw materials. Cotton prices are supported by low inventory, while sugar prices are under pressure. Pulp presents opportunities for low - buying in the far - month contracts, and log prices oscillate with potential low - buying opportunities [7][8][9][11][12][14][15][16][18]. 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Oils and Fats - **View**: The MPOB report is bullish, and palm oil led the rise in oils and fats yesterday [7] - **Industry Information**: In July, Malaysian palm oil production was 1.8124 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 7.1%; exports were 1.3091 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.95%; and the ending inventory was 2.1133 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 4.07% [7] - **Logic**: The market awaited MPOB and USDA monthly reports. Under the influence of the bullish MPOB report, domestic palm oil led the rise. Macro - environment factors include the focus on US monetary and tariff policies, the decline of the US dollar and crude oil prices. From the industrial side, US soybeans are expected to have a good harvest, and domestic soybean imports may decline seasonally. Malaysian palm oil production in July was slightly lower than expected, exports were higher, and inventory was lower. Rapeseed oil inventory is slowly decreasing but still high [7][2] - **Outlook**: The oils and fats market is facing multiple factors. Recently, palm oil and soybean oil are expected to be strong, and attention should be paid to the effectiveness of the upper technical resistance of rapeseed oil [7][3] 3.2 Protein Meal - **View**: Market sentiment disturbs, and the price fluctuation intensifies [8] - **Industry Information**: On August 11, 2025, the international soybean trade premium quotes for US Gulf soybeans, US West soybeans, and South American soybeans changed week - on - week and year - on - year. The average profit of Chinese imported soybean crushing also changed week - on - week and year - on - year [8] - **Logic**: Internationally, the expectation of a good US soybean harvest is strong. Domestically, in the short term, inventory pressure and expected Argentine soybean meal arrivals restrict the rise of spot prices. In the long term, there may be a supply gap in the fourth quarter, and the cost supports the far - month contracts [8] - **Outlook**: The pattern of internal strength, external weakness, near - term weakness, and long - term strength continues. Spot and basis may adjust, but prices will stabilize and rise. It is recommended that oil mills sell on rallies, and downstream enterprises buy basis contracts or price at low levels. Hold long positions at 2900 and add positions on dips. Buy options to bet on volatility [8] 3.3 Corn and Starch - **View**: The market continues to oscillate weakly [9] - **Industry Information**: According to Mysteel, the FOB price at Jinzhou Port is 2300 yuan/ton, the domestic average corn price is 2384 yuan/ton, and the closing price of the main contract is 2255 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 0.53% [9] - **Logic**: Domestic corn prices are stable with a slight decline. On the supply side, inventory has been digested, and the arrival of grain at deep - processing enterprises has decreased. On the demand side, downstream acceptance of high - priced grain is low. Policy - wise, the import corn transaction rate has declined. The new - season corn production is normal [9][10] - **Outlook**: In the short term, there is uncertainty in old - crop de - stocking. After the new - crop is on the market, supply pressure will be released, and prices will decline [10] 3.4 Hogs - **View**: Supply and demand remain loose, and prices oscillate narrowly [11] - **Industry Information**: On August 11, the price of Henan live hogs (external ternary) was 13.66 yuan/kg, with no change; the closing price of the hog futures active contract was 14,140 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 0.28% [11] - **Logic**: In the short term, the planned slaughter volume in August will increase. In the medium term, the number of live hogs for slaughter is expected to increase in the second half of the year. In the long term, anti - involution policies may lead to capacity reduction. Demand shows narrow fluctuations, and the average slaughter weight is decreasing [11] - **Outlook**: The hog market presents a pattern of "weak reality + strong expectation". Spot prices face pressure, and if capacity reduction policies are implemented, hog prices may turn strong in 2026 [11] 3.5 Natural Rubber - **View**: Strong raw material support drives rubber prices to oscillate upwards [12] - **Industry Information**: Prices of various rubber products in Qingdao Free Trade Zone and the Thai raw material market changed. From January to July 2025, Cote d'Ivoire's rubber exports increased by 14.3% year - on - year, and in July, exports increased by 28.3% year - on - year and 28.5% month - on - month [12][13] - **Logic**: Yesterday's warm macro - sentiment supported rubber prices. Rubber is entering the seasonal rising period, with many speculative themes. Fundamentally, short - term ship arrivals may decrease, and demand is rigid. Supply may be delayed due to heavy rainfall expectations [13] - **Outlook**: With good macro - sentiment and short - term fundamental support, rubber prices are expected to oscillate with a bullish bias in the short term [13] 3.6 Synthetic Rubber - **View**: Tight raw materials support the upward movement of the market [14] - **Industry Information**: The spot prices of butadiene rubber and domestic butadiene changed [14] - **Logic**: The BR market rose rapidly on Friday night. It was driven by sentiment - based funds from natural rubber and supported by the short - term tightness of butadiene, its raw material. Butadiene supply did not increase as expected, and downstream demand was good [14] - **Outlook**: In the short term, butadiene prices are expected to rise slightly, and the market may oscillate with a bullish bias [14] 3.7 Cotton - **View**: Low inventory supports cotton prices, and attention should be paid to marginal changes in demand [14] - **Industry Information**: As of August 11, the number of registered warehouse receipts in the 2024/2025 season was 8172. The closing prices of Zhengzhou cotton contracts 09 and 01 changed [14] - **Logic**: In the 2025/2026 season, global cotton supply is expected to be loose. Demand is weak, and inventory is low. Cotton prices are supported by low inventory, and if downstream orders increase in August, it may be beneficial [14] - **Outlook**: Cotton prices are expected to oscillate with a bullish bias before new cotton is on the market [14] 3.8 Sugar - **View**: Sugar prices are under pressure and weakening [15] - **Industry Information**: As of August 11, the closing price of the Zhengzhou sugar 09 contract was 5573 yuan/ton, with no change [15] - **Logic**: In the 2025/2026 season, the global sugar market is expected to have a surplus. In the short term, supply pressure will increase seasonally. Attention should be paid to the external market, as some institutions have lowered their forecasts for Brazilian sugar production [15] - **Outlook**: In the long term, sugar prices are expected to decline due to the expected supply surplus. In the short term, it is recommended to sell on rebounds, with the contract expected to operate in the range of 5600 - 5900 [15] 3.9 Pulp - **View**: Negative factors have been priced in for a long time. Pay attention to low - buying opportunities in far - month contracts [16] - **Industry Information**: The prices of various pulp products in Shandong changed [16] - **Logic**: Futures prices rose yesterday, but the spot market was still weak. Supply of broad - leaf pulp is abundant, and demand is weak. Overseas markets are also weak. However, the price is at a low level, and negative factors have been fully priced in [16] - **Outlook**: The pulp futures market is expected to oscillate widely, with the main 11 - contract expected to fluctuate in the range of 5000 - 5500. For a single - side strategy, pay attention to low - buying opportunities when the 01 contract drops to around 5200 - 5250 [16] 3.10 Logs - **View**: The market oscillates. Pay attention to low - buying opportunities within the range [18] - **Industry Information**: No new incremental information was provided, and the market returned to fundamental trading [18] - **Logic**: The market oscillated yesterday. The fundamental situation has marginally improved, with an increase in valuation, a reduction in hedging pressure, and a decline in port arrivals. However, there are also negative factors such as low acceptance of price increases by downstream and potential pressure from undigested warehouse receipts [18] - **Outlook**: The market has multiple factors at play. The cost has increased, and supply pressure has eased. It is recommended to operate in the range of 800 - 850 [18][20]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Industrial silicon: Oscillating [7] - Polysilicon: Oscillating [8] - Lithium carbonate: Oscillating and bullish [12] Core Viewpoints of the Report - Central Financial Conference emphasizes phased elimination of outdated production capacity, strengthening investors' expectations of supply contraction in the silicon market. Meanwhile, disruptions in domestic lithium supply, with major lithium mines in Jiangxi halting production, have increased the risk of supply disruptions and driven up lithium prices. In the short - to - medium term, expectations of supply contraction and rising costs support the prices of new energy metals. In the long term, if there is no substantial supply contraction or significant improvement in demand, silicon prices may decline, and high growth in lithium carbonate supply will limit the upside of lithium prices [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Industrial Silicon - **Price and Inventory**: As of August 11, the spot price of industrial silicon fluctuated. The latest domestic inventory was 439,900 tons, a 0.9% decrease from the previous period. The monthly output in July was 338,000 tons, a 3.2% increase from the previous month and a 30.6% decrease from the same period last year. From January to July, the cumulative production was 2.21 million tons, a 20% decrease from the same period last year. In June, the export volume was 68,323 tons, a 22.8% increase from the previous month and an 11.6% increase from the same period last year. From January to June, the cumulative export volume was 340,705 tons, a 6.6% decrease from the same period last year [7] - **Main Logic**: The supply of industrial silicon continues to recover. In August, the supply pressure may further increase. Demand shows some improvement, but the increase in demand from the aluminum alloy sector is limited. With the continuous recovery of supply, social inventory and futures warehouse receipts are expected to further accumulate [7] - **Outlook**: In the short term, silicon prices will continue to oscillate due to macro - sentiment and coal prices. The resumption of production by large enterprises will be crucial, and concentrated resumptions may further suppress prices [8] 2. Polysilicon - **Price and Trade**: The成交 price range of N - type re - feedstock was 45,000 - 49,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 47,200 yuan/ton, a 0.21% increase from the previous week. The latest polysilicon warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange were 4,700 lots, an increase of 1,080 lots from the previous value. In June, the export volume was about 2,222.65 tons, a 5.96% increase from the previous month and a 39.67% decrease from the same period last year. From January to June, the export volume was 11,389.98 tons, a 7.23% decrease from the same period last year. In June, the import volume was about 1,112.69 tons, a 40.3% increase from the previous month. From January to June, the import volume was 11,209.78 tons, a 47.59% decrease from the same period last year [8] - **Main Logic**: Macroeconomic factors and rising coal prices have led to wide - range fluctuations in polysilicon prices. Supply is expected to increase in August. In the long term, it is necessary to pay attention to whether anti - cut - throat competition policies will restrict supply. Demand may weaken in the second half of the year due to the high growth in the first half [11] - **Outlook**: Anti - cut - throat competition policies have significantly boosted polysilicon prices. The implementation of policies needs to be monitored, and if policy expectations fade, prices may reverse [12] 3. Lithium Carbonate - **Price and Market**: On August 8, the closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract increased by 5.25% to 81,000 yuan, hitting the daily limit. The total open interest increased by 1,676 lots to 783,699 lots. The spot price of battery - grade lithium carbonate increased by 2,600 yuan to 74,500 yuan/ton, and the price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased by 2,500 yuan to 72,300 yuan/ton. The average price of lithium spodumene concentrate was 910 US dollars/ton, equivalent to 77,300 yuan/ton of lithium carbonate. The warehouse receipts increased by 560 tons to 19,389 tons [12] - **Main Logic**: The production cut at Ningde Times' Jiaxiawo Mine has become the focus of market speculation. Fundamentally, production has rebounded, and the mine's shutdown will reduce weekly ore supply by over 2,000 tons of LCE. Demand is stable, and social inventory is slightly increasing. In the future, a significant supply - demand gap may emerge, but high prices may stimulate supply [12] - **Outlook**: The supply - demand gap caused by the shutdown is expected to keep prices oscillating and bullish [13]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - The outlook for stock index futures is "oscillating with a bullish bias", for stock index options is "oscillating", and for treasury bond futures is "oscillating with a bearish bias" [6][7] 2. Core Views of the Report - Stock index futures present expanding growth opportunities, with a suggestion to over - allocate small - cap growth styles and hold IM. Stock index options should adopt an offensive strategy, switching to a bull spread portfolio. Treasury bond futures remain under pressure and require caution [6][7][9] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Stock Index Futures - The basis of IF, IH, IC, IM's current - month contracts are - 6.51 points, - 1.50 points, - 23.56 points, - 18.34 points respectively, with a month - on - month change of 1.66 points, 2.68 points, 0.54 points, 9.59 points. The spreads between the current - month and next - month contracts of IF, IH, IC, IM are 11.2 points, - 1.0 point, 69.4 points, 74.4 points respectively, with a month - on - month change of - 2.4 points, - 0.6 point, - 3.0 points, - 0.8 point.

The market volume approached 1.9 trillion. The new energy and computer sectors led the gains. The market focus is on the growth area, showing signs of partial spread, and the trend of capital reallocation is clear. It is recommended to over - allocate small - cap growth styles, and IM is preferred among stock index futures. Potential observation windows are the earnings season in August and the parade in early September [6] 3.1.2 Stock Index Options - The market turnover increased by 40.41%, and the PCR of the CSI 1000 stock index option positions increased by 6.15%. The implied volatility of the CSI 1000 stock index option increased significantly. The market trading sentiment is active, and call options are entering the market. It is recommended to switch to a bull spread portfolio [6] 3.1.3 Treasury Bond Futures - The trading volume of T, TF, TS, TL's current - quarter contracts are 76606 lots, 56309 lots, 34103 lots, 111356 lots respectively, with a one - day change of 17352 lots, 7436 lots, 7715 lots, 22612 lots. The positions are 157180 lots, 108276 lots, 78794 lots, 92576 lots respectively, with a one - day change of - 8769 lots, - 3629 lots, - 3287 lots, - 1193 lots. The spreads between the current - quarter and next - quarter contracts of T, TF, TS, TL are 0.105 yuan, - 0.045 yuan, - 0.038 yuan, 0.430 yuan respectively, with a one - day change of 0, 0.010 yuan, 0.014 yuan, 0.060 yuan. The cross - variety spreads of TF*2 - T, TS*2 - TF, TS*4 - T, T*3 - TL's current - quarter contracts are 102.975 yuan, 98.993 yuan, 300.961 yuan, 206.885 yuan respectively, with a one - day change of - 0.065 yuan, 0.065 yuan, 0.065 yuan, 0.285 yuan. The basis of T, TF, TS, TL's current - quarter contracts are 0.001 yuan, 0.020 yuan, 0.019 yuan, 0.150 yuan respectively, with a one - day change of - 0.039 yuan, - 0.033 yuan, 0.002 yuan, - 0.063 yuan. - The central bank conducted 1120 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchases, with 5448 billion yuan of reverse repurchases maturing. Treasury bond futures closed down across the board. The rise in risk appetite and the strengthening of commodities may pressure the bond market. The tightening of the capital market also had a negative impact on the bond market. Although the bond market has shown some recovery, the bullish sentiment is unstable, and policy factors may cause significant disturbances. Trend strategy: be cautiously bearish. Hedging strategy: focus on short - hedging at low basis levels. Basis strategy: the arbitrage space of the main contracts may be limited. Curve strategy: focus on steepening the yield curve [7][8][9] 3.2 Economic Calendar - The calendar includes economic indicators such as China's July M2 money supply annual rate, new RMB loans from the beginning of the year to July, and social financing scale from the beginning of the year to July, as well as the US July CPI annual rate and PPI annual rate, and China's July total retail sales of consumer goods annual rate [10] 3.3 Important Information and News Tracking - In the field of artificial intelligence and agriculture, a research team proposed the concept of crop - robot collaborative design, developed an intelligent breeding robot, and established an "intelligent robot breeding factory", which is expected to break through the bottleneck of soybean hybrid breeding. - The Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration solicited public opinions on the implementation regulations of the Value - Added Tax Law. - The Central Government Bond Registration and Clearing Co., Ltd. simplified the investment process for overseas central bank - type institutions. - Hangzhou solicited public opinions on a draft regulation to promote the development of the embodied intelligent robot industry, including infrastructure planning, core technology direction, and platform construction [11][12][13]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - The rise in US inflation in Q3 is in line with expectations. Under the dual pressure of deteriorating non - farm data and personnel changes, some Fed voting members have turned significantly dovish, and the moderate rise in inflation has limited interference with the interest - rate cut expectations. - The July non - farm data is an important turning point for market sentiment. The dominant logic is shifting from "TACO trading + US fundamental resilience + convergence of interest - rate cut expectations" to "verification of weakening US fundamentals + expansion of interest - rate cut expectations". The Fed's leadership change may bring a more dovish long - term path and a re - evaluation of the Fed's independence. - The report maintains a bullish view on gold. It is expected that the upward trend of spot gold will be moderate below $3500, and the upward momentum may increase after breaking through this level. The movement of silver is following that of gold again, with obvious resistance at the $40 mark, and a breakthrough requires the cooperation of gold [1][3]. 3. Summary by Section Key Information - US Treasury Secretary Besent stated that President Trump's tariff policy aims to bring manufacturing back to the US, and relevant trade work is expected to be basically completed by the end of October. He also hopes that the next Fed Chairman will gain market trust and have "forward - looking thinking". - China National Rare Earth Group issued a statement clarifying that it has never cooperated, negotiated, or planned with relevant institutions or units regarding the so - called "rare - earth RMB stablecoin". The information was maliciously fabricated by lawbreakers. - The short positions in US small - cap stocks have reached the highest level since 2017. The notional value of non - commercial short contracts for the Russell 2000 index futures has exceeded $16 billion this month, and this position has doubled since May and further increased after the latest weak employment data in the US [2]. Price Logic - The decline in precious metal prices yesterday was due to two factors. Firstly, the US clarified the rumor of imposing tariffs on gold last Friday night, and the price difference between COMEX and LBMA gold narrowed significantly, weakening the sentiment in the US market. Secondly, the expected rise in the US CPI in July, with the market consensus expecting a 0.31% month - on - month increase and about 3.1% year - on - year increase in core CPI, and the simultaneous rise of the US dollar index, brought short - term downward pressure on gold prices [3]. Outlook - The expected trading range for London gold this week is between $3340 and $3500 per ounce, and for London silver, it is between $37 and $40 per ounce [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The overall outlook for the energy and chemical industry is a continued pattern of consolidation, with potential disruptions from raw materials. Most of the individual product ratings are "oscillating," with some "oscillating weakly" and none with a strong positive or negative outlook [3][7][11] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The energy and chemical chain currently has few contradictions and continues to consolidate. After experiencing the largest weekly decline since late June, crude oil futures prices stabilized slightly on Monday. The chemical chain as a whole continued to oscillate, with coal prices rising and crude oil showing signs of short - term stabilization after seven consecutive days of decline. European natural gas futures also rose due to high - temperature weather increasing power - generation demand [1][2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Overview - Crude oil prices stabilized slightly after a significant weekly decline. Global crude oil inventories increased on a weekly basis, with a significant drop in Indian on - shore inventories and a change in India's import rhythm. The chemical chain showed an overall oscillating trend, with some products experiencing inventory changes and price fluctuations [1] 3.2 Individual Product Analysis - **Crude Oil**: Geopolitical concerns have eased, but supply pressure remains. The price is expected to oscillate weakly in the short term, and the focus is on the implementation of US sanctions against Russia [7] - **Asphalt**: It has broken through the important support level of 3500 yuan/ton, and the futures price is expected to move in the direction of least resistance. The absolute price is over - valued, and the monthly spread is expected to decline as warehouse receipts increase [7] - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: It is oscillating weakly. Supply is expected to increase while demand decreases, and geopolitical upgrades will only cause short - term price disturbances [7][8] - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: The futures price follows the oscillation of crude oil and is expected to be weakly oscillating. It is affected by factors such as the decline in shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution [9] - **Methanol**: The inland market remains relatively strong, and the price is oscillating. There may be opportunities for long - positions in the far - month contracts [22] - **Urea**: The market is mainly in a stalemate, and the futures price is oscillating weakly. The short - term fundamentals cannot provide effective support [22][23] - **Ethylene Glycol (EG)**: Port inventory accumulation is not sustainable, and the medium - term price support is strengthening. The price is expected to oscillate within a certain range [16][19] - **PX**: The price of oil has stopped falling slightly, and the chemical products are in the stage of bottom - consolidation. The short - term cost still provides some support, and the price decline space is limited [11] - **PTA**: The sales volume of polyester filament has increased, boosting market sentiment. The price is expected to oscillate, and the focus is on the implementation of major factory maintenance at the beginning of August [12][13] - **Short - Fiber**: The sales are mediocre, and the market is in a consolidation phase. The price follows the movement of raw materials, and the bottom support is strengthening [19][20] - **Bottle Chip**: The raw materials have stabilized, supporting the bottom of the price. The price follows the cost of raw materials in the short term [20][21] - **PP**: Affected differently by oil and coal, the price is oscillating. The supply side still has an increasing trend, and the demand side is in the off - peak to peak season transition [27][28] - **Propylene (PL)**: Supported by spot maintenance, the PP - PL spread around 600 is considered reasonable, and the price is expected to oscillate in the short term [28] - **Plastic (LLDPE)**: The maintenance rate has decreased, and inventory has increased. The price is oscillating, and the supply side still faces certain pressure [26] - **Pure Benzene**: Import arrivals have decreased, and downstream production has started. The buying sentiment has increased this week, and the market structure has turned to Back. The overall inventory is expected to decrease slightly in August [13][14] - **Styrene**: The supply - demand outlook is still weak, and attention should be paid to the accumulation of factory inventory. The non - integrated profit has reached a neutral level [15][16] - **PVC**: The cost provides support, and the futures price is oscillating. The supply is expected to increase, and the pressure comes from high supply and continuous inventory accumulation [31] - **Caustic Soda**: The spot price has stabilized, and the price is temporarily oscillating. The 50% caustic soda price has rebounded, which has a certain boosting effect on the futures price [32] 3.3 Data Monitoring 3.3.1 Energy and Chemical Daily Indicator Monitoring - **Inter - period Spreads**: Different products have different inter - period spread values and changes, such as Brent's M1 - M2 spread being 0.67 with no change, and Dubai's M1 - M2 spread being 0.75 with a 0.01 change [34] - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: Each product has corresponding basis and warehouse - receipt data. For example, the basis of asphalt is 199 with a change of - 83, and the number of warehouse receipts is 76670 [35] - **Inter - product Spreads**: There are various inter - product spread data, such as the 1 - month PP - 3MA spread being - 335 with a change of - 1 [36] 3.3.2 Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring - Specific monitoring data for products such as methanol, urea, styrene, PX, PTA, ethylene glycol, short - fiber, bottle - chip, asphalt, crude oil, LPG, fuel oil, LLDPE, PP, PVC, and caustic soda are provided, but detailed data summaries are not presented in the text [37][49][60]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillation" [7] Core Viewpoints - The black building materials market is currently in a state where supply is subject to continuous disruptions, and prices are generally strong. With stable fundamentals, there is a possibility of further resonance between macro - level positive factors and the industry. In the short term, before new driving factors emerge, the market will mainly oscillate within the current range [1][2] Summary by Category Iron Element - Supply: Overseas mines' shipments decreased slightly month - on - month, and the arrivals at 45 ports dropped to the level of the same period last year, with relatively stable supply and limited increase [2] - Demand: The profitability rate of steel enterprises reached the highest level in the same period of the past three years. Due to routine maintenance, iron - water production decreased slightly but remained at a high level year - on - year. The possibility of production cuts 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] - Inventory: The total inventory of iron ore in port areas increased due to the concentrated arrival of sea - floating cargoes, but the inventory accumulation was limited [2] - Outlook: With limited negative driving factors in the fundamentals, the price is expected to oscillate in the future [2] Carbon Element - Supply: In the main production areas, some coal mines reduced production due to factors such as changing working faces and over - production inspections. Some coal mines actively stopped or reduced production under the "276 - working - day" system. Although the import of Mongolian coal remained at a high level, the TT mine in Mongolia implemented quantity - limiting measures for some traders, which may affect future customs clearance [3] - Demand: Coke production remained stable, and the rigid demand for coking coal was strong. Downstream enterprises mainly purchased on demand. Some coal mines had started to accumulate inventory, and the spot market became more cautious [3] - Outlook: With supply disruptions, the short - term supply - demand relationship is tight, and the futures market is expected to be more likely to rise than fall in the short term [3] Alloys - Manganese Silicon: With the continuous increase in coke prices, the cost support for manganese silicon has been continuously strengthened. The market is more cautious, but traders are still reluctant to sell at low prices, and port ore prices remain firm. The downstream demand for manganese silicon remains resilient, but as manufacturers' resumption of production progresses, the supply - demand relationship may gradually become looser. In the short term, the price is expected to oscillate following the sector [3] - Ferrosilicon: The production of ferrosilicon is expected to increase rapidly. The downstream steel - making demand remains resilient, and the supply - demand relationship is relatively healthy. In the short term, the price is expected to oscillate following the sector [3] Glass - Demand: In the off - season, demand declined, deep - processing orders decreased month - on - month, and the inventory days of raw glass increased month - on - month, indicating speculative purchases by downstream enterprises. After the futures market declined, the sentiment in the spot market cooled down, and the sales of middle - stream and upstream enterprises decreased significantly [4] - Supply: One production line is still waiting to produce glass, and the overall daily melting volume is expected to remain stable. The upstream inventory decreased slightly, with few internal contradictions but more market - sentiment disturbances [4] - Outlook: Although the cost support has strengthened due to the recent increase in coal prices, the fundamentals are still weak. In the short term, the futures and spot markets are expected to oscillate widely [4] Steel - Core Logic: As the parade date approaches, there are continuous rumors of production restrictions in steel mills. The output of rebar increased, while that of hot - rolled coils decreased. The apparent demand for rebar rebounded, but inventory continued to accumulate. In the off - season, the apparent demand for hot - rolled coils decreased, and inventory also continued to accumulate [9] - Outlook: Although the fundamentals of steel have weakened marginally, the low inventory and potential production - restriction disturbances before the parade still support the short - term futures market. Attention should be paid to the implementation of steel - mill production - restriction policies and terminal demand [9] Iron Ore - Core Logic: Port transactions increased. Overseas mines' shipments decreased slightly month - on - month, and arrivals at 45 ports dropped to the level of the same period last year. The profitability rate of steel enterprises reached the highest level in the same period of the past three years. Iron - water production decreased slightly due to routine maintenance but remained at a high level year - on - year. The total inventory of iron ore in port areas increased due to the concentrated arrival of sea - floating cargoes, but the inventory accumulation was limited [9] - Outlook: With high demand and stable supply, and limited negative driving factors in the fundamentals, the price is expected to oscillate in the future [9] Scrap Steel - Core Logic: The supply of scrap steel decreased as market sentiment improved and the willingness to sell declined. The demand increased as the daily consumption of electric furnaces reached a high level in the same period, and the total daily consumption of scrap steel in both long - and short - process production increased slightly. The inventory in factories decreased slightly, and the available inventory days dropped to a relatively low level [10] - Outlook: With decreasing supply and increasing demand, and optimistic market sentiment, the price is expected to oscillate [10] Coke - Core Logic: In the futures market, coke prices oscillated at a high level following coking coal. In the spot market, prices increased. After five rounds of price increases, coke enterprises' overall profit returned to near the break - even point, and production remained stable. Downstream steel mills had good profits and high production enthusiasm. Although iron - water production decreased slightly, it remained at a high level. The overall inventory of coke enterprises was low, but some downstream steel mills had tight inventory [10] - Outlook: With a relatively healthy fundamental situation and the start of the sixth round of price increases, the futures market still has support in the short term. Attention should be paid to possible production - restriction policies during the parade [10] Coking Coal - Core Logic: In the futures market, prices oscillated at a high level due to supply disruptions. In the spot market, prices increased. In the main production areas, some coal mines reduced production, and some implemented the "276 - working - day" system. Although the import of Mongolian coal remained at a high level, the TT mine in Mongolia implemented quantity - limiting measures for some traders. Coke production remained stable, and the rigid demand for coking coal was strong. Downstream enterprises mainly purchased on demand, and some coal mines had started to accumulate inventory [3][12] - Outlook: Due to supply disruptions, the short - term supply - demand relationship is tight, and the futures market is expected to be more likely to rise than fall in the short term. Attention should be paid to regulatory policies, coal - mine resumption of production, and Mongolian coal imports [3] Glass - Core Logic: The demand in the off - season decreased, deep - processing orders decreased month - on - month, and the inventory days of raw glass increased significantly to the highest level of the year, indicating speculative purchases by downstream enterprises. After the futures market declined, the sentiment in the spot market cooled down, and the sales of middle - stream and upstream enterprises decreased significantly. One production line is still waiting to produce glass, and the overall daily melting volume is expected to remain stable. The upstream inventory decreased slightly, with few internal contradictions but more market - sentiment disturbances. Although the cost support has strengthened due to the recent increase in coal prices, the fundamentals are still weak [13] - Outlook: In the short term, the futures and spot markets are expected to oscillate widely. In the long term, with weak actual demand, strong policy expectations, and relatively high raw - material prices, market - oriented capacity reduction is still needed. If prices return to fundamental - based trading, they are expected to oscillate downward [13] Soda Ash - Core Logic: The supply - surplus situation remains unchanged. After a round of negative feedback, the price dropped rapidly in the short term and is now at a discount to the spot price. The supply capacity has not been cleared, and production remains at a high level. The demand for heavy soda ash is expected to remain at a rigid - demand level, while the demand for light soda ash is weak [14] - Outlook: In the short term, the price is expected to oscillate. In the long term, the price center is expected to decline to promote capacity reduction [14] Manganese Silicon - Core Logic: With the continuous increase in coke prices, the cost support for manganese silicon has been continuously strengthened. The market is more cautious, but traders are still reluctant to sell at low prices, and port ore prices remain firm. The downstream demand for manganese silicon remains resilient, but as manufacturers' resumption of production progresses, the supply - demand relationship may gradually become looser [3][16] - Outlook: With limited inventory pressure in the short term, the price is expected to follow the sector. In the long term, as supply pressure increases, the upward price space may be limited [16] Ferrosilicon - Core Logic: With the continuous increase in coking - coal futures prices, market sentiment remained positive, and ferrosilicon prices oscillated upward. The cost support for the spot market is strong due to the increase in the prices of semi - coke and settlement electricity. The supply is expected to increase as manufacturers' profit improves and the enthusiasm for resuming production increases. The downstream demand for steel - making remains resilient, and the price of magnesium ingots has increased steadily [17] - Outlook: With limited inventory pressure in the short term, the price is expected to follow the sector. In the long term, as the supply - demand gap is expected to narrow, the fundamentals may have hidden concerns, and the upward price space is not optimistic. Attention should be paid to the dynamics of the coal market and the adjustment of electricity costs [17]
