1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the content. 2. Report's Core Viewpoints - The Hang Seng Biotech Index (HSHKBIO) consists of 50 constituent stocks with notable investment scarcity, and foreign investors hold strong pricing power, influencing the AH premium. The index is affected by factors such as U.S. bond yields, credit spreads, and market liquidity [9][11]. - The index shows different correlations and trends with various factors, including a negative correlation with U.S. Treasury yields, a similar trend with Moutai Basket and Ning Portfolio, a closer alignment with A - share healthcare indices, and better performance when credit spreads widen [101][114][126]. - The trading behavior of foreign capital impacts the AH premium from aspects such as substitution, risk appetite, sentiment, and market liquidity [179][188]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Introduction - **Three Major Healthcare Sector Indices in Hong Kong Stocks**: There are three major industry indices in the Hong Kong healthcare sector: the HS Healthcare Index (68 constituents), the HS Biotechnology Index (50 constituents), and the HS Innovative Drug Index (37 constituents). The first two have high long - term correlation, and the Biotech Index can more effectively track the leading Hong Kong healthcare stocks due to its quarterly rebalancing [21][25]. - **Focus on Drugs and Medical Devices**: Hong Kong pharmaceutical stocks have scarcity as many innovative biotech companies are listed there before the STAR Market. The Biotech Index focuses on innovative drugs, medical devices, and CXO, different from A - share listed pharmaceutical enterprises [26][33]. - **The Low Proportion of AH Shares**: By April 2025, 13 AH shares in the index accounted for 17% - 20% of the index weight. Except for WuXi AppTec, the AH premium of other AH shares is generally around 1.5 - 2.0, and it may climb above 2.0 during market declines [38][42]. 3.2 Pricing Power - **Capital Structure**: Foreign and Hong Kong capital hold a dominant position (61% - 80%) in the Hang Seng Biotech Index. Since 2023, foreign capital has been reducing holdings, leading to a passive increase in the proportion of Southbound Stock Connect. By the end of March 2025, domestic and Chinese - funded institutions' investment proportion rose to 30% [51][55]. - **Proportion of Foreign Capital's Holdings**: Foreign capital holds controlling stakes in most individual stocks in the Hong Kong pharmaceutical sector, mainly from Europe and the United States. In 2024, U.S. - based foreign capital rapidly reduced its holdings, and some equity was transferred to the Qatar Investment Authority [60][64]. - **Belonging of Pricing Power**: From 2021 to 2025, foreign institutional investors had strong pricing power over pharmaceutical stocks, with more than half of the individual stocks showing a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.5 between their stock prices and the proportion of foreign holdings. Based on foreign ownership fluctuations for market timing has a long - term alpha effect [75][86]. 3.3 Sector Rotations - **The Index is Negatively Correltated with the U.S. Treasury Yield**: The HS Biotech Index has a significant negative correlation (- 0.84) with the 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield. Since 2024, its correlation with long - term Chinese bond yields has strengthened [95][101]. - **The Index Moves in Tandem with Moutai Basket and Ning Portofolio**: The Hang Seng Biotech Index, Moutai Basket, and Ning Portfolio are all dominated by foreign capital, tied to U.S. Treasury yields. They peaked simultaneously in 2021, with different maximum drawdowns [108][114]. - **The Index Tracks A - Share Healthcare Indices More Closely**: The HS Biotech Index shows stronger alignment with A - share healthcare indices and has diverged from U.S. biotech indices since 2024. After 2024, its trajectory is mainly driven by China's economic expectations [120][126]. - **The Index Paradoxically Outperforms When Credit Spreads Widen**: Credit spreads typically expand during macro - economic deterioration or industry profit headwinds. Widening spreads imply a higher probability of interest - rate cuts, boosting biotech valuations [133][139]. - **Hang Seng Sector Rotation Signals**: When the 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield declines, the elasticity of Hong Kong's major broad - based indices is Biotech > HSTECH > HSI; in the interest - rate hike cycle, HSI and HSTECH have stronger excess returns. When the 10 - year CGB yield rises, it is suitable to overweight the Biotech Index [147][158]. 3.4 AH Premium - **AH Premium Rate: Negatively Correlated with the Index**: The average AH premium of 13 AH shares from September 2022 to March 2025 has a high negative correlation (- 0.90) with the index, which may be due to the high elasticity of biopharmaceutical stocks and the significant influence of foreign capital transactions [165][166]. - **AH Premium: The Trading Behavior of Foreign Capital**: The trading behavior of foreign capital affects the AH premium from four aspects: substitution (long - term deviation in AH premium after the launch of the Mainland - Hong Kong Stock Connect), risk appetite (higher U.S. Treasury yields lead to a higher AH premium), sentiment (negative correlation between warrant PCR ratio and AH premium), and market liquidity (lower Hong Kong stock liquidity leads to a higher AH premium) [174][179][188].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Overseas macro: There is a short - term weak recovery in overseas commodity demand, remaining relatively stable.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - The energy and chemical market has been affected by numerous non - fundamental factors recently. As August approaches, fundamentals will become the dominant factor. It is advisable for investors to adopt a light - position hedging strategy. The overall futures prices of energy and chemical products will continue to fluctuate, and basis and inventory can be used as benchmarks for hedging [3]. - For different varieties: - Crude oil: Geopolitical factors support prices, but there is supply pressure. The high refinery operations in China and the US and strong demand provide short - term support. Oil prices will oscillate, and geopolitical risks should be monitored [9]. - Asphalt: Spot prices are falling, and futures prices fluctuate around 3600 yuan/ton. The absolute price of asphalt is overvalued, and the monthly spread is expected to decline [9][10]. - High - sulfur fuel oil: There is significant downward pressure on prices due to increased supply and reduced demand. It will oscillate weakly [10][11]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: It follows the oscillation of crude oil prices. Although there are negative factors, the current low valuation means it will fluctuate with crude oil [12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views - **Crude Oil** - Price: Overnight prices rose. - Main logic: The risk of increased US sanctions on Russian oil has increased. There is supply pressure from OPEC +'s production increase, but high refinery operations in China and the US and strong demand provide support. - Outlook: The strong reality of high refinery operations and the weak expectation of supply pressure will balance each other, leading to price oscillation. Geopolitical risks should be watched [9]. - **Asphalt** - Price: The main futures contract closed at 3602 yuan/ton, with spot prices in different regions varying. - Main logic: OPEC +'s production increase will put pressure on the cracking spread. The accumulation of floating storage and supply pressure on raw materials will affect futures prices.

Report Industry Investment Ratings | Industry | Rating | | --- | --- | | Oils and Fats | Volatile [5] | | Protein Meal | Volatile [5] | | Corn and Starch | Volatile [5] | | Live Pigs | Volatile [6] | | Natural Rubber | Volatile [7] | | Synthetic Rubber | Volatile [11] | | Cotton | Volatile [11] | | Sugar | Volatile [12] | | Pulp | Volatile, Slightly Bullish [14] | | Logs | Volatile, Slightly Bearish [16] | 2. Report's Core View The report analyzes multiple agricultural products, finding that most are in a volatile state. Factors such as policy regulation, supply - demand relationships, and macro - environment impact the market. For instance, the anti - involution policy in the live pig industry affects its supply and demand expectations; the complex supply - demand situation in the oils and fats market leads to market fluctuations [1][5]. 3. Summary by Catalog 3.1 Oils and Fats - **View**: Market sentiment has weakened, and attention should be paid to the effectiveness of lower technical support [5]. - **Logic**: Uncertainty in export demand, good weather in production areas, and various supply - demand factors at home and abroad are in play. For example, the expected increase in US biodiesel demand for soybean oil, the increase in domestic soybean imports and inventory, and the increase in palm oil production season [5]. - **Outlook**: The market is facing a game of multiple factors, and it is expected to be volatile [5]. 3.2 Protein Meal - **View**: As sentiment fades, both types of meal see reduced positions and price drops [5]. - **Logic**: Abundant precipitation and suitable temperature in US soybean production areas are conducive to high yields. Domestically, short - term soybean arrivals increase, while long - term supply may face shortages [5]. - **Outlook**: The market is expected to maintain a pattern of near - term weakness and long - term strength [5]. 3.3 Corn and Starch - **View**: Spot prices are generally stable, waiting for new guidance [5]. - **Logic**: Supply is tightening, but downstream demand is weak. New - season corn production is normal, and imported corn supply is abundant [5][6]. - **Outlook**: Short - term price rebounds may occur, but there is a downward trend after new - crop listing [6]. 3.4 Live Pigs - **View**: Emotional trading has cooled, and the futures price has fallen from its high [1][6]. - **Logic**: In the short - term, the supply is affected by industry guidance and farmer sentiment; in the medium - term, the supply is expected to increase; in the long - term, policies may lead to a supply inflection point. Demand is limited due to hot weather, and inventory pressure exists [1][6]. - **Outlook**: The market is volatile, with a situation of "weak present, strong future." Anti - spread strategies can be considered [6]. 3.5 Natural Rubber - **View**: The commodity market has adjusted sharply, and rubber prices have dropped significantly [7]. - **Logic**: The market decline is mainly due to regulatory impacts on leading varieties. Fundamentally, supply is affected by the rainy season, and demand is relatively stable [7]. - **Outlook**: The market will continue to trade based on the macro - environment, and it is expected to be volatile [7]. 3.6 Synthetic Rubber - **View**: The futures price continues to fluctuate accordingly [11]. - **Logic**: Affected by the overall market macro - environment, the raw material price is volatile, and the supply is relatively tight in the short - term [11]. - **Outlook**: It is expected to maintain a range - bound operation [11]. 3.7 Cotton - **View**: The monthly spread is converging [11]. - **Logic**: Supply is expected to be abundant, demand is in the off - season, and inventory is at a low level. Low inventory supports prices, but the upside is limited in the short - term [11]. - **Outlook**: It is volatile. Low inventory supports prices, but upward resistance increases, and the monthly spread may follow an anti - spread logic [11]. 3.8 Sugar - **View**: Attention should be paid to import conditions [12]. - **Logic**: The global sugar market supply is expected to be abundant. In Brazil, the sugar - making ratio is expected to remain high. In China, imports are increasing, which will put pressure on prices [13]. - **Outlook**: In the long - term, prices are expected to decline; in the short - term, there are short - selling opportunities [13]. 3.9 Pulp - **View**: Anti - involution trading may resume, and attention should be paid to arbitrage hedging during the decline [14]. - **Logic**: The supply of hardwood pulp is excessive, and demand is weak in the short - term but may improve marginally in the future. There is a ceiling on price increases [14]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuations follow the macro - environment, and futures prices are expected to rise with volatility [14]. 3.10 Logs - **View**: Fundamental changes are limited, and it is short - term dominated by macro - expectations [16]. - **Logic**: It follows the "anti - involution" macro - policy. Supply is affected by shipping rhythms, and demand is stable with no obvious peak or off - season [16]. - **Outlook**: It is volatile and slightly bearish in the short - term. Pay attention to changes in effective deliverable quantities of the 09 contract [16][17].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Industrial Silicon: Oscillating [5] - Polysilicon: Oscillating [6] - Lithium Carbonate: Oscillating [9] Core Views of the Report - Exchange position limits and repeated supply - side expectations have led to significant fluctuations in new - energy metals. For lithium in Jiangxi, without official confirmation of production cuts, caution is needed when using futures to bet on long or short positions. Options can be used to cautiously bet on potential lithium price increases. For industrial silicon and polysilicon, if there is no substantial contraction on the supply - side or significant improvement on the demand - side, prices may fall [1]. - Market sentiment for industrial silicon has cooled, leading to a sharp decline in prices; a significant drop in coal prices has caused polysilicon prices to fall; market sentiment for lithium carbonate has been volatile, with the contract hitting the daily limit down [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Views Industrial Silicon - **Information Analysis**: As of July 28, SMM data shows that the spot price of oxygen - passing 553 in East China is 9950 yuan/ton, and 421 is 10200 yuan/ton. The latest domestic inventory is 442,900 tons, with a month - on - month increase of 0.1%. In June, the monthly output was 327,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.5% and a year - on - year decrease of 27.7%. In June, exports were 68,323 tons, a month - on - month increase of 22.8% and a year - on - year increase of 11.6%. In June, domestic photovoltaic new installations were 14.36GW, a year - on - year decrease of 38.45% [5]. - **Main Logic**: On the supply side, large northwest factories' previously overhauled furnaces have recently resumed production, and southwest factories are accelerating resumption. On the demand side, it is still weak year - on - year but shows marginal improvement. The reduction in the northwest still dominates short - term supply changes, but domestic supply may gradually recover. The inventory of warehouse receipts provides some support, but the speed of reduction has slowed down [5]. - **Outlook**: Market sentiment decline, rapid coal price drop, and further supply recovery have weakened price support, suppressing the upside space [6]. Polysilicon - **Information Analysis**: According to the Silicon Industry Association, the transaction price range of N - type re - feedstock is 45,000 - 49,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 46,800 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 12.2%. In May, exports were about 2,097.6 tons, a month - on - month increase of 66.2% and a year - on - year decrease of 30%. In May, imports were about 793 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 16.9%. From January to June 2025, domestic photovoltaic new installations were 212.21GW, a year - on - year increase of 107% [6]. - **Main Logic**: The significant decline in coal prices last Friday led to a drop in polysilicon prices. On the supply side, production capacity in the southwest is rising with the arrival of the wet season. On the demand side, although photovoltaic installations increased significantly from January to May, it has overdrafted the demand for the second half of the year, and subsequent demand may weaken [7]. - **Outlook**: Anti - involution policies have significantly boosted polysilicon prices. Attention should be paid to policy implementation. If the policy expectations are false, prices may fluctuate in the opposite direction [8]. Lithium Carbonate - **Information Analysis**: On July 28, the closing price of the main lithium carbonate contract decreased by 9.19% to 73,120 yuan, and the total contract positions decreased by 107,784 to 800,394 hands. The SMM battery - grade lithium carbonate spot price increased by 1000 yuan to 73,900 yuan/ton, and the industrial - grade increased by 1000 yuan to 71,700 yuan/ton [8]. - **Main Logic**: Current supply - demand drivers are weak, and market sentiment affects prices. Fundamentally, there are few changes. In the third quarter, domestic supply - demand is generally balanced, but high prices may stimulate supply. The core factors affecting the market are anti - involution sentiment and the progress of mining license issues. Before the result of mine shutdown is clear, if market sentiment recovers, prices may rise. There is high short - term uncertainty, and options are recommended for speculation [9]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, warehouse receipts and sentiment support prices, and prices are expected to oscillate [9].

It is recommended to continue to allocate long positions in IM [3][9]. - In the stock index options market, the volatility has shown an inflection point, and the probability of short - term volatility decline is relatively high. It is advisable to build positions for short - volatility strategies. The certainty of volatility strategies is slightly stronger than that of directional strategies [4][10]. - In the treasury bond futures market, the sentiment has improved, but there are still many short - term disturbing factors, and the market is expected to be volatile [4][12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Stock Index Futures - **Market Performance**: On Monday, the Shanghai Composite Index rose and then fell, with narrow - range trading and shrinking volume. The market risk preference was at a relatively high level, and the main line showed signs of switching [3][9]. - **Reasons for Main - line Switching**: Firstly, the China - US tariff negotiation is in progress, and the market has expectations for stimulus policies. Secondly, the "anti - involution" theme has cooled down, and the coal and steel industries in the stock market led the decline on Monday.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report assigns an overall "oscillating" rating to the black building materials sector [6][8][9] Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the black market rose to a high level driven by macro factors, the market became extremely sensitive. Following the exchange's position - limit notice last Friday, the market sentiment took a sharp turn overnight, with coking coal hitting the daily limit. As the outcome of important meetings remains uncertain, funds tend to take a risk - averse approach. The fundamental situation in the industry has changed little, and no obvious turnaround has been observed in the terminal sector. After a large - scale replenishment in the middle reaches, a continuous price decline may lead to significant sales by traders, amplifying the bearish sentiment. It is recommended to adopt a wait - and - see strategy, and in the long term, the overall trading should be bearish as the focus returns to the fundamentals [1][2] - The volatility of the black market has increased recently, and there may still be macro - level disturbances in the future. The key factors to watch are the implementation of policies and the performance of terminal demand [6] Summary by Directory Iron Element - Overseas mine shipments have increased on a month - on - month basis, while the arrivals at 45 ports have decreased as expected. On the demand side, the profitability rate of steel enterprises has increased significantly, and the molten iron output has slightly decreased but remains at a high level year - on - year, supporting the demand for iron ore. Due to low arrivals and high demand, the inventory at 45 ports of iron ore has slightly decreased. With high demand and stable supply, there is limited bearish driving force in the fundamentals of iron ore. However, as the short - term macro - level positive factors have been mostly priced in, the price is expected to oscillate [2] Carbon Element - After the exchange adjusted the trading limit of the JM2509 contract last Friday, the market sentiment quickly cooled down, and the coking coal futures hit the daily limit across the board. There are still disruptions in production at the origin, and the overall supply is slowly recovering. The average daily customs clearance of Mongolian coal has been above 1,000 trucks in recent days, remaining at a high level. Affected by the sharp decline in the futures market, the downstream and traders have become more cautious, and the auction results have been mediocre. After three rounds of price increases for coke, the coking profit is still under pressure. Coke producers in the main producing areas initiated a fourth - round price increase over the weekend. Given the current tight supply - demand structure of coke and the pressure on coking profit, the fourth - round price increase is expected to be implemented soon. The futures market is expected to oscillate widely in the short term [3] Alloys - Affected by the decline in coking coal futures, the manganese - silicon futures opened with a downward gap and oscillated widely. In the spot market, there is strong wait - and - see sentiment at the beginning of the week. With the futures market remaining at a high level, the spot prices remain firm. As coke enters the price - increase cycle, the cost support for manganese - silicon is continuously strengthening. Manganese ore traders at ports are more inclined to hold prices, and low - priced supplies are scarce, with the ore prices remaining stable overall. The output of ferrosilicon is expected to increase rapidly, and the downstream steel - making demand remains resilient. The current supply - demand relationship of ferrosilicon is relatively healthy, and the price is expected to oscillate in the short term, following the performance of the sector [3][6] Glass - After the glass futures hit the daily limit, the market sentiment weakened rapidly, and the production - sales ratio dropped significantly. On the supply side, there are still two production lines waiting to produce glass, and one production line has been shut down for cold repair. The overall daily melting volume is expected to remain stable. The upstream inventory has slightly decreased, and there are no prominent internal contradictions, but there are many market - sentiment disturbances. Recently, the "anti - involution" sentiment has cooled down, and the market's pessimistic expectations for the supply - demand fundamentals have returned. However, as the Politburo meeting is approaching, the "anti - involution" sentiment may fluctuate. In the short term, both the futures and spot markets are expected to oscillate widely. The long - term over - supply situation of soda ash is difficult to change. In the short term, the rising "anti - involution" sentiment has driven up the futures price. After the positive feedback, the inventory locked in the positive spread is large, and the delivery pressure is high. In the short term, it is easy to rise but difficult to fall, while in the long term, the price center will still decline [6] Individual Product Analysis - **Steel**: After the exchange adjusted the coking coal trading limit, the market sentiment cooled down, and the futures prices fell from a high level. The spot trading volume of steel was generally weak, with only a small amount of speculative and rigid - demand purchases at low prices. Last week, the supply and demand of rebar both increased, and the inventory decreased on a month - on - month basis; the supply and demand of hot - rolled coils both decreased, and the inventory slightly accumulated; the supply and demand of the five major steel products both decreased, and the inventory slightly decreased. The inventory is at a relatively low level compared to previous years, and the fundamental contradictions in the off - season are not obvious. In the future, there is still an expectation of inventory accumulation for steel, but due to the low inventory level, the fundamental pressure is limited. The futures prices are easily affected by market sentiment and are expected to oscillate widely in the short term [8] - **Iron Ore**: The arrivals at ports have decreased on a month - on - month basis, and the port inventory has slightly decreased. The overseas mine shipments have increased on a month - on - month basis, while the arrivals at 45 ports have decreased as expected. On the demand side, the profitability rate of steel enterprises has increased significantly, and the molten iron output has slightly decreased but remains at a high level year - on - year, supporting the demand for iron ore. With high demand and stable supply, there is limited bearish driving force in the fundamentals of iron ore. However, as the short - term macro - level positive factors have been mostly priced in, the price is expected to oscillate [8][9] - **Scrap Steel**: The arrival volume has significantly increased, and the spot price has risen. The fundamentals of scrap steel are acceptable, with an increase in rebar production, a decrease in inventory, and an increase in apparent demand this week. On the supply side, the arrival volume has increased significantly. On the demand side, the profits of electric arc furnaces during off - peak hours have improved, and the daily consumption of scrap steel in both long - and short - process steelmaking has increased. The inventory in steel mills has slightly decreased. The demand for scrap steel is at a high level, and there are no prominent fundamental contradictions. After Shagang raised its price, the spot price has followed suit. However, as the steel price has declined, scrap steel itself lacks upward - driving force and is expected to oscillate [9] - **Coke**: The spot market has initiated a fourth - round price increase, and the futures followed coking coal to hit the daily limit. After three rounds of price increases, the coking profit is still under pressure, and coke producers in the main producing areas initiated a fourth - round price increase over the weekend. Meanwhile, the supply of coke is still affected by environmental protection and maintenance. On the demand side, although the molten iron output has slightly decreased on a month - on - month basis, it remains at a high level, and there is still rigid demand. The downstream steel mills have good profits, high production enthusiasm, and are actively replenishing inventory. The inventory of coke producers has continuously decreased. The current supply - demand structure of coke is tight, and the fourth - round price increase is expected to be implemented soon. The futures market is expected to oscillate widely in the short term [10] - **Coking Coal**: There are continuous disturbances in coal mine supply, and the market enthusiasm remains high. In the futures market, there are strong expectations for the coal supply - side reform, and the positive market sentiment persists. In the spot market, the prices of coking coal have increased. On the supply side, there are still disruptions in production at the origin, and the supply is still restricted. The average daily customs clearance of Mongolian coal has been around 1,000 trucks in recent days, and the port transactions are good. On the demand side, the coke output is temporarily stable, and the rigid demand for coking coal is strong. Recently, downstream enterprises and traders have been actively purchasing, resulting in a significant reduction in coal mine inventory. Currently, the fundamental supply - demand contradictions are not prominent, and the key factors to watch are regulatory policies, coal mine复产, and Mongolian coal imports. In the short term, coking coal still has upward potential due to market sentiment [11] - **Glass**: The speculative sentiment has declined, and the inventory in the middle reaches has significantly increased. The demand in the off - season has decreased, and the orders of deep - processing enterprises have declined on a month - on - month basis. After the futures hit the daily limit, the market sentiment weakened rapidly, and the production - sales ratio dropped significantly. On the supply side, the overall daily melting volume is expected to remain stable. The upstream inventory has slightly decreased, and there are no prominent internal contradictions, but there are many market - sentiment disturbances. Recently, the "anti - involution" sentiment has cooled down, and the market's pessimistic expectations for the supply - demand fundamentals have returned. However, as the Politburo meeting is approaching, the "anti - involution" sentiment may fluctuate. In the short term, both the futures and spot markets are expected to oscillate widely. In the long term, if the price returns to fundamental trading, it is expected to oscillate downward [13] - **Soda Ash**: The market sentiment has weakened, and the futures and spot prices have rapidly declined. The supply capacity has not been cleared, and there is still long - term pressure. Although the production has decreased due to a pipeline problem at Jinshan No. 3 Plant today, the supply pressure still exists. On the demand side, the demand for heavy soda ash is expected to remain at a rigid - purchase level, and the demand has weakened. The downstream procurement of light soda ash has recovered, but the overall demand in the downstream is poor, mainly for periodic inventory replenishment. The long - term over - supply situation is difficult to change. In the short term, the rising "anti - involution" sentiment has driven up the futures price. After the positive feedback, the inventory in the middle reaches is high, and most of it is locked in the futures market, resulting in large delivery pressure. In July, there are planned maintenance activities, and with the support of the "anti - involution" sentiment, it is expected to be easy to rise but difficult to fall in the short term, while in the long term, the price center will still decline to promote capacity reduction [14] - **Silicon Manganese**: The market sentiment has cooled down, and the futures opened with a downward gap and oscillated. Affected by the decline in coking coal futures, the manganese - silicon futures opened with a downward gap and oscillated widely. In the spot market, there is strong wait - and - see sentiment at the beginning of the week. With the futures market remaining at a high level, the spot prices remain firm. As coke enters the price - increase cycle, the cost support for manganese - silicon is continuously strengthening. Manganese ore traders at ports are more inclined to hold prices, and low - priced supplies are scarce, with the ore prices remaining stable overall. The downstream demand for manganese - silicon remains resilient, but as the profit - repair environment promotes the resumption of production by manufacturers, the supply - demand relationship may gradually become looser. The price is expected to oscillate in the short term, following the performance of the sector, and the upside potential in the long term should be viewed with caution [16] - **Ferrosilicon**: The bullish sentiment has cooled down, and the futures opened with a downward gap and oscillated. Affected by the decline in coking coal futures, the ferrosilicon futures opened with a downward gap and oscillated widely. In the spot market, the overall sentiment is acceptable, but the downstream's acceptance of high - priced resources is limited. On the supply side, the industry's profit has improved significantly, and manufacturers are more motivated to resume production, so the output is expected to increase rapidly. On the demand side, the steel output remains at a relatively high level, and the downstream steel - making demand remains resilient. The price is expected to oscillate in the short term, following the performance of the sector. However, the supply - demand gap may narrow in the future, and the upside potential in the long term should be viewed with caution [17]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - On July 24, equity index futures rose while CGB futures fell; sentiment against involution picked up, and coking coal hit the daily limit again [2][4][11] - The top three gainers were coking coal, lithium carbonate, and glass, while the top three decliners were rapeseed meal, soybean meal, and live hog [11][12][13] Summary by Directory 1. China Futures 1.1 Overview - On July 24, equity index futures rose, CGB futures fell, anti - involution sentiment picked up, and coking coal hit the daily limit again. The top three gainers were coking coal (up 8.0% with 13.0% month - on - month open interest increase), lithium carbonate (up 7.2% with 20.6% month - on - month open interest increase), and glass (up 6.9% with 6.9% month - on - month open interest decrease). The top three decliners were rapeseed meal (down 2.6% with 4.8% month - on - month open interest drop), soybean meal (down 2.3% with 9.3% month - on - month open interest decrease), and live hog (down 2.2% with 7.2% month - on - month open interest down) [11][12][13] 1.2 Daily Rise 1.2.1 Synthetic Rubber - On July 24, synthetic rubber increased by 2.4% to 11875 yuan/ton, remaining range - bound. It is mainly driven by macro factors, and it may enter a consolidation phase in the short term. There are no major fundamental changes, and with improved market expectations and better butadiene transactions, the short - term price center may rise [17][18][19] 1.2.2 TSR 20 - On July 24, TSR 20 increased by 2.3% to 12775 yuan/ton, and natural rubber increased by 1.5% to 15005 yuan/ton. Short - term prices are likely to rise following the overall commodity sentiment. Driven by the anti - involution theme and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's press conference, market bullish sentiment is strengthened. Rubber fundamentals have no major short - term contradictions. Supply is limited due to rainy seasons in Asian producing areas, and demand is relatively stable. In the third quarter, there may be destocking transactions, and if the macro sentiment remains, rubber prices may rise further [24][26][27] 1.3 Daily Drop 1.3.1 Rapeseed Meal - On July 24, rapeseed meal decreased by 2.6% to 2682 yuan/ton, and soybean meal decreased by 2.3% to 3025 yuan/ton. Domestic soybean meal and rapeseed meal outperform U.S. soybeans, and the basis is expected to run weakly. Domestically, soybean meal inventories accumulate. Internationally, the U.S. soybean good - to - excellent rate is 68%, and there is a risk of less precipitation in the producing areas. Sino - U.S. trade frictions affect U.S. soybean exports. Protein meal futures face short - term adjustment risks but are expected to run strongly in the long term [32][33][34] 2. China News 2.1 Macro News - On the morning of July 24, President Xi Jinping met with European Council President Costa and European Commission President von der Leyen, emphasizing the importance of China - EU relations. Premier Li Qiang will attend the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High - Level Meeting on Global AI Governance on July 26. The National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration for Market Regulation opened the "Amendment Draft of the Price Law of the People's Republic of China (Draft for Comments)" for public comments [37][38][40] 2.2 Industry News - According to SWIFT, in June, the RMB ranked as the world's sixth most active payment currency with a 2.88% share, and with euro - area - outside international payments as the statistical caliber, it ranked sixth with a 2.12% share [40]
