Zhong Yuan Qi Huo· 2025-06-09 12:50
1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The egg market is currently in a weak state. Supply pressure is increasing due to the release of new production capacity and slow elimination of backward capacity, while demand is limited after the Dragon Boat Festival. The cost of feed is around 2.4 yuan per catty, and the comprehensive breeding cost is about 2.7 yuan per catty. The breeding profit is at a seasonal low. The overall strategy is to short on rebounds and mainly conduct JD reverse spreads [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Review - The egg futures market shows a positive market structure, with the near - month contracts following the decline of the spot market and the far - month contracts oscillating weakly. The market is still in a weak state, and although there are bottom - fishing behaviors in the market, they are ineffective. The market maintains a structure of near - weak and far - strong [6]. 3.2 Spot Review - Last week, the egg spot market was generally stable, but there was an adjustment over the weekend, mainly led by the decline in northern sales areas. The production areas were relatively stable, while the egg prices in southern production areas, especially those near the plum - rain area, continued to decline. After the festival, the pulling effect of the sales areas on the spot market is expected to be weak, and the spot price will continue to search for a bottom [13]. 3.3 Supply - **New production capacity**: From June to August 2025, the newly opened production corresponds to the replenishment volume from February to April 2025, which is basically at a high level, and the new volume is higher than the historical average [18]. - **Elimination of production capacity**: From June to August 2025, the normal elimination of production capacity corresponds to the replenishment volume from October 2023 to January 2024, and the available elimination volume is relatively neutral [18]. - **Laying hen inventory**: The inventory of laying hens remains at a high level. The growth rate of normal new production capacity is relatively stable, and the elimination is delayed, which may lead to an increase in phased supply [18]. 3.4 Elimination End - The elimination of backward production capacity has started but has not entered an accelerated phase. The price of eliminated chickens has fallen from a high level, the elimination volume has been increasing but is still at a four - year low, and the elimination age is around 520 days, showing an obvious downward trend [21]. 3.5 Other Factors Affecting Supply and Demand - **Seasonality**: The market is in a transition period from the off - season to the peak season, and a certain turnaround is expected to occur in mid - June [25]. - **Production area**: Currently, producers in the production areas are actively selling. With the increasing high - temperature weather, new chickens are constantly starting to lay eggs [25]. - **Consumption end**: The stocking is over, the overall demand is average, and the weather factor suppresses the egg price [25]. - **Substitute products**: Vegetable prices are about to enter a seasonally strong stage, which will support the egg price to some extent. Pork prices continue to weaken, and the substitution effect on eggs is not obvious. Other meat prices have shown a phased increase [27]. 3.6 Cost & Profit - **Cost end**: The price of corn is running at a high level, and the spot price of soybean meal is stable with a slight decline. The overall cost has oscillated and slightly decreased. Currently, the feed cost is about 2.4 yuan per catty, and the comprehensive breeding cost is about 2.7 yuan per catty [30]. - **Breeding profit**: The breeding profit has fallen below the feed cost and reached the comprehensive breeding cost. The seasonal weakness has not ended. The negative feedback of production capacity caused by profit losses is gradually taking effect, and attention should be paid to the elimination of backward production capacity [31]. 3.7 Capital and Basis - **Capital**: Short - term funds continue to operate at a high level without signs of leaving the market, and short - selling funds have obvious suppression [34]. - **Basis**: The basis is running at a low level. Currently, the overall contract shows a premium structure, which will continue to suppress the market in the short term. The basis has a strengthening trend in the later stage, which depends on when the spot price stabilizes [36]. 3.8 Spread - The decline of the spot price suppresses the near - month contracts, and the strategy is mainly to conduct reverse spreads in the phased period [39].

烧碱周报:烧碱破位下行,偏空思路对待-20250609
Zhong Yuan Qi Huo· 2025-06-09 12:14
Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The macro aspect shows that the Sino-US trade negotiations have released positive signals, and their progress should be monitored. In terms of supply and demand, there were many device overhauls in the caustic soda market at the beginning of June. The liquid caustic soda markets in Shandong and East China were both driven by "supply contraction", and the spot quotes were firm. However, the overall scale of overhauls in June was smaller than that of the previous month, and there was still pressure from new production capacity, which suppressed the market. During the week, the terminal demand showed differentiation. The main downstream in Shandong could support the price, but the non-aluminum market resisted high prices, and terminal procurement was inactive. Overall, the supply and demand situation in the liquid caustic soda market has changed little and lacks support. After the caustic soda 2509 contract broke through the lower limit, it should be treated with a bearish mindset. The upper reference pressure level for the caustic soda 2509 contract is around 2,500 yuan/ton, and the lower support level is around 2,200 yuan/ton [4]. Summary by Directory 01 Market Review - **Spot Market**: The price of 32% liquid caustic soda in Shandong remained stable. The 32% liquid caustic soda basis in Shandong widened. From May 30 to June 5, 2025, the price of 32% ion-exchange membrane caustic soda in Shandong remained at 880 yuan, the price of 50% ion-exchange membrane caustic soda decreased by 10 yuan to 1,410 yuan with a decline of -0.7%, and the price of 99% caustic soda flakes remained at 3,350 yuan. The price of light soda ash decreased by 50 yuan to 1,350 yuan with a decline of -3.57%, the price of alumina increased by 5 yuan to 3,275 yuan with an increase of 0.15%, the price of pulp decreased by 50 yuan to 6,150 yuan with a decline of -0.81%, the price of battery-grade lithium hydroxide decreased by 600 yuan to 69,000 yuan with a decline of -0.86%, while the prices of sea salt, viscose staple fiber, and ternary precursor remained unchanged [9][12][18]. - **Futures Market**: Relevant data on the closing prices of the active contracts of caustic soda, soda ash, alumina, PVC, and the number of warehouse receipts are presented [16]. 02 Market Analysis - **Supply Side - Production and Operating Rate**: From May 30 to June 5, 2025, the average capacity utilization rate of Chinese caustic soda sample enterprises with a capacity of 200,000 tons and above was 83.5%, a month-on-month decrease of 0.6%. The completion of device overhauls in the Northwest and Central China drove up the load, while new device overhauls and production cuts in North China and South China led to a decline in the load. The load in the Northwest increased by 2.2% to 90.5%, and in Central China, it increased by 6.2% to 90.2%. In North China, the load decreased by 3.7% to 77.1%, and in South China, it decreased by 4.6% to 83.1%. The load in Shandong decreased by 3.3% to 86.4%. It is estimated that the caustic soda capacity utilization rate this week will be around 83.1%, and the weekly output will be around 800,600 tons. Multiple enterprises in North China and South China had device overhauls during the reporting period [20][23]. - **Downstream - Alumina**: The profit margin of alumina has widened, increasing the production willingness of enterprises. Some enterprises completed their overhauls during the reporting period and resumed normal production. As of June 5, the built capacity of alumina in China was 112.4 million tons, the operating capacity was 86.55 million tons, and the operating rate was 77.00% [25]. - **Inventory**: As of June 5, 2025, the factory inventory of fixed liquid caustic soda sample enterprises with a capacity of 200,000 tons and above in China was 382,100 wet tons, a month-on-month decrease of -2.67% and a year-on-year increase of 5.52%. The capacity utilization ratio of the national liquid caustic soda sample enterprises was 23.22%, a month-on-month decrease of 0.06%. The capacity utilization ratios in the Northwest, North China, and East China decreased month-on-month, while those in Central China, Northeast China, South China, and Southwest China increased month-on-month. In North China, after continuous price increases in the Shandong market, high-price non-aluminum purchases decreased. After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday and due to factors such as inventory accumulation in overhauled devices, some areas experienced a slight increase in inventory. However, most enterprises cleared their inventories at the end of the month, driving down the inventory in North China. In East China, the regional supply decreased, non-aluminum industries replenished their inventories at the end and beginning of the month, and the export orders were shipped as needed, resulting in a decline in inventory [30]. - **Liquid Chlorine**: As of June 5, 2025, the average price of liquid chlorine in Shandong was 1 yuan/ton, a month-on-month increase of 101%. A chlor-alkali enterprise in Zibo, Shandong entered overhaul during the week, reducing the market supply and driving up the price of liquid chlorine in the surrounding areas. However, the chlorine-consuming downstream devices in Liaocheng, Shandong were unstable during the week, and some production enterprises reduced their loads to promote sales. As of June 5, the capacity utilization rate of PVC production enterprises was 80.72%, a month-on-month increase of 2.53% and a year-on-year increase of 5.56%. Among them, the utilization rate of the calcium carbide method was 82.31%, a month-on-month increase of 4.10% and a year-on-year increase of 8.49%; the utilization rate of the ethylene method was 76.53%, a month-on-month decrease of 1.59% and a year-on-year decrease of 2.56%. The average weekly profit of Shandong chlor-alkali enterprises was 635 yuan/ton, a month-on-month increase of 28.28% [34][35].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report presents macro news, price changes of various futures contracts, and morning meeting views on major varieties, offering a comprehensive analysis of the market situation across multiple industries [4][7][13]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Chemical Industry Futures - On June 4, 2025, among chemical futures, most contracts showed price increases. For example, the price of coking coal rose by 19.50 to 738.50, with a growth rate of 2.712%; the price of coke increased by 21.0 to 1,320.00, a growth of 1.617%. However, some contracts declined, such as 20 - number rubber, which dropped by 30.0 to 11,780.00, a decrease of 0.254% [4]. 2. Agricultural Product Futures - In the agricultural product futures market, prices also showed mixed trends. For instance, the price of No. 1 yellow soybean decreased by 12.0 to 4,122.00, a decline of 0.290%, while the price of No. 2 yellow soybean rose by 20.0 to 3,556.00, an increase of 0.566% [4]. 3. Macro News - The US accused China of violating the Geneva talks consensus, but China firmly opposed this and demanded the US to correct its actions [7]. - US President Trump announced an increase in the import tariffs on steel, aluminum, and their derivatives from 25% to 50%, effective from June 4, 2025 [7]. - Chinese Premier Li Qiang met with a Japanese delegation, emphasizing the need to strengthen Sino - Japanese industrial cooperation [7]. - Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao held talks with the EU Commissioner, focusing on urgent and important issues in China - EU economic and trade cooperation [8]. - China's Caixin Manufacturing PMI in May 2025 was 48.3, down 2.1 percentage points from April, falling below the critical point for the first time since October 2024 [8]. - Stablecoins have become a focus among brokerage analysts, with many related phone conferences and research reports [8]. - China's domestic refined oil prices saw the "fourth increase" this year, with gasoline and diesel prices per ton increasing by 65 yuan and 60 yuan respectively [8]. - China officially released a water conservancy standard AI large - model, filling the gap in intelligent tools in the water conservancy standardization field [9]. 4. Morning Meeting Views on Major Varieties a. Agricultural Products - Peanuts: The spot market has stabilized. With weak demand from traders and the approaching end of oil mill acquisitions, the market is expected to fluctuate weakly [13]. - Oils and Fats: There is a lack of new positive drivers, and the market is expected to fluctuate weakly [13]. - Sugar: With improved weather in Brazil's main sugar - producing areas and increased domestic imports, the market supply pressure is significant. The price is expected to continue to fluctuate weakly in the short term [13]. - Corn: The market is in a situation of weak supply and demand. The price has fallen below the previous support level, and it is recommended to pay attention to the technical support in the 2300 - 2317 range [13]. - Hogs: The price in the northern market is relatively stable, while in the southern market, there is limited room for price movement. The futures contract is oscillating around 13,500 [13][15]. - Eggs: The spot price is stable, but with expected weakening demand after the holiday and quality issues, the price is under pressure. The futures market is also showing a weak trend [15]. b. Energy and Chemicals - Urea: With high supply and slow - growing agricultural demand, the price is under pressure in the short term. However, export expectations and summer fertilizer replenishment may provide some support [15]. - Caustic Soda: With less maintenance of caustic soda plants in June and weakening terminal demand, the market is bearish [15]. - Coking Coal: The online auction of coking coal has seen many unsuccessful bids, and prices have dropped significantly. The market is cautious, and the medium - term downward trend remains unchanged [15]. c. Industrial Metals - Copper and Aluminum: Affected by the US tariff increase and a weakening US dollar, the prices of copper and aluminum are expected to continue to fluctuate within a range, with aluminum under more pressure [17]. - Alumina: Due to reduced supply from maintenance and production cuts, the spot price is relatively strong. The 2509 contract may fluctuate around 3000, but there is still an expectation of medium - term oversupply [17]. - Steel: Steel prices are showing a downward trend, and the market is cautious due to the approaching high - temperature and rainy season. The medium - term downward trend remains unchanged [17]. - Ferroalloys: After the Dragon Boat Festival, ferroalloys continued to decline. With limited production cuts on the supply side, weak demand in the off - season, and expected weakening costs, they are expected to remain bearish [17]. - Lithium Carbonate: With significant supply pressure and weak demand, the price is expected to remain within the 58,000 - 61,000 range. It is recommended to sell short when the price rebounds [19]. d. Option Finance - Stock Index: On June 3, A - share indexes rebounded slightly. The market is expected to show index oscillations in June, with medium - and large - cap stocks potentially outperforming. It is recommended to take a defensive approach in trading [19]. - Options: On June 3, A - share indexes rose slightly. The futures and options markets showed different trends, and investors are advised to take a defensive approach and consider buying wide - straddle options to bet on increased volatility [20].
