1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Last week, industrial products led by polysilicon and coking coal hit the daily limit one after another. Positive policy expectations also drove ferrosilicon and silicomanganese to hit the daily limit on Friday. However, the fundamentals changed little, with weak demand in the off - season and continuous increase in supply as enterprise profits improved. Currently, the main changes are in coal raw materials and macro - policy expectations. Both ferrosilicon and silicomanganese are following macro - expectations rather than industrial logic. Without demand improvement, continuous premium on the futures market is not conducive to long - term price rebounds. The industry is still advised to sell for hedging in a timely manner, and pay attention to the important meetings and policies at the end of the month [4][22] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Ferrosilicon 3.1.1 Supply - The profits of manufacturers have recovered, and the increase in the operating rate has led to a larger increase in production.

The futures market, though rising less, remains in a premium structure. Near the delivery month, the near - month 08 contract will face selling pressure. It is recommended to buy the far - month 09 contract on dips and look for reverse spread opportunities [3]. - The supply side has high - level capacity, with recent new replenishment slowing down, previous replenishment starting to lay eggs, and the elimination of backward capacity slowing. The demand side has improved, but the marginal support is weakening, requiring new tourism and Mid - Autumn Festival stocking demand [3]. - The cost of feed and comprehensive breeding has slightly declined. Egg prices have returned above the feed cost, and profits have improved [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Market - Egg futures ended their rebound last week and returned to a weak oscillation. The large increase in spot prices needs to be digested, and the premium structure of the futures is being repaired. The market is expected to enter a short - term correction phase [6]. 3.2 Spot Market - Last week, new egg products maintained a high - level oscillation, with the upward momentum slowing down and starting to correct. The current spot rebound is mainly driven by the sales areas. After the bad weather, stocking will provide some support, but the increase is limited. The market has risen from 2.4 yuan/jin to 3.2 yuan/jin, close to the average seasonal increase, and further upward movement requires new event drivers [14]. 3.3 Supply Side - New capacity: From June to August 2025, the newly opened production corresponds to the replenishment volume from February to April 2025, remaining at a high level and higher than the historical average [19]. - Elimination capacity: From June to August 2025, the normal elimination capacity corresponds to the replenishment volume from October 2023 to January 2024, with a relatively neutral available elimination volume [19]. - Laying - hen inventory: The inventory remains at a high level. New capacity is increasing steadily, new replenishment is slowing down, and the available elimination volume is decreasing steadily. The backward capacity is entering the active elimination stage, but the overall supply pressure still exists [19]. 3.4 Elimination End - The price of culled chickens is 5.76 yuan/jin, an increase of 0.24 yuan/jin. The elimination volume has decreased significantly, and the increase in price restricts the enthusiasm for elimination. The average elimination age is 502 days, remaining stable, and the overall age has returned to the normal range, with the "start - up rate" increasing steadily [22]. 3.5 Demand Side - Seasonally, it is the peak season for tourism and deep - processing demand. The inventory pressure in the production areas is not high, but high temperatures are reducing the laying rate and increasing costs. On the consumption side, after the rainy season, the tourism peak season has arrived, and overall demand has improved [24]. - Vegetable prices are rising due to high - temperature weather, supporting egg prices. Pork prices are oscillating at a high level, and the substitution effect on eggs is not obvious. Other meat prices have strengthened recently [26]. 3.6 Cost and Profit - Cost: Corn prices are running at a high level, and soybean meal prices are falling steadily. The overall cost is oscillating, with the current feed cost at about 2.5 yuan/jin and the comprehensive breeding cost at about 2.8 yuan/jin [29]. - Profit: Egg prices have recently returned above the feed cost, but the overall comprehensive breeding profit is still in the red, showing a seasonal bottom - bouncing [30]. 3.7 Capital and Market Sentiment - Capital is at a high level, and market competition has intensified. Bears believe that the high - level capacity, seasonal suppression, and the premium of the futures over the spot indicate further downward space. Bulls believe that the valuation is low and the seasonal trend is about to turn positive, making it a good time to buy. Currently, near the delivery month, the bears are winning [33]. 3.8 Basis and Spread - Basis: The basis is negative, and the overall futures is at a premium. The basis is currently running at a low level, waiting for the basis to strengthen during the peak season [35]. - Spread: In the future, as the cycle capacity declines, reverse spreads should be the main strategy [38].

Core Views of the Report 2.1纯碱 - This week, the spot price of soda ash remained stable with a slight upward trend. With the resumption of production of previously shut - down plants, the supply of soda ash is expected to increase. The apparent demand for soda ash increased significantly on a week - on - week basis. The increase in futures prices stimulated the replenishment enthusiasm of downstream and mid - stream enterprises, leading to a reduction in enterprise inventories. The daily melting volume of float glass is expected to increase slightly, while the supply of photovoltaic glass is still expected to decrease. In the short term, the near - month contracts still face significant delivery pressure, and the expected macro - policy disturbances have intensified the risk of price fluctuations on the futures market. It is recommended to adopt a wait - and - see approach for now and pay attention to the impact of macro - policies and the follow - up situation of downstream industries [5]. 2.2 Glass - This week, the spot price of float glass increased. With some previously ignited production lines starting to produce, the output is expected to rise. On the demand side, the purchasing enthusiasm of mid - and downstream enterprises increased, and most glass enterprises significantly reduced their inventories. Currently, the operating rate of LOW - E glass sample enterprises is 77.5%, showing a slight decline on a week - on - week basis and remaining at a low level compared to the same period last year. In the short term, the expected macro - policy disturbances are still strong. The weakening sentiment in the commodity market has led to a significant correction in glass futures prices, and the risk of price fluctuations on the futures market is high. It is recommended to wait and see for now and focus on the impact of macro - policies [6]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term urea futures prices may fluctuate weakly. The domestic urea spot market price has been fluctuating weakly this week. With many recent plant overhauls, the supply is in a state of phased reduction. Although the inventory of urea enterprises continues to decline due to some goods being shipped to ports, the decline rate has narrowed due to the phased weakening of agricultural demand. The agricultural top - dressing demand is coming to an end, the enthusiasm for picking up autumn fertilizers is low, the finished product inventory pressure of compound fertilizers is large, and the start - up is still in a state of gradual recovery from a low level. However, there is an expected marginal improvement in autumn fertilizers and export demand provides strong bottom support for urea. The UR2509 contract should pay attention to the support around 1680 - 1720 yuan/ton [5]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Week - long Views Summary - **Supply**: Many plants are under maintenance recently, resulting in a phased reduction in supply. The weekly urea output is 1354700 tons (-1.02%), among which the coal - based urea output is 1062300 tons (-1.35%), and the gas - based urea output is 292400 tons (+0.17%), with an average daily output of 194000 tons [5][21]. - **Demand**: The support from agricultural demand has weakened phasedly, but there are still expectations for autumn fertilizers and exports. The compound fertilizer enterprise start - up rate is 33.58% (+1.03%), and the finished product inventory is 742100 tons (a month - on - month increase of 6300 tons). The start - up of melamine is 65.20% (+0.96%), and downstream maintains rigid demand procurement [5][35]. - **Inventory**: The inventory of upstream urea enterprises has decreased, but the decline rate has narrowed. The urea enterprise inventory is 858800 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 36700 tons. The port inventory is 543000 tons (a month - on - month increase of 2000 tons). The mainstream pre - collection days of urea enterprises are 5.94 days (a month - on - month decrease of 1.98%), and the number of days of orders to be delivered by enterprises has decreased slightly month - on - month [5][32]. - **Cost and Profit**: Coal prices are moderately strong, and urea profits have decreased month - on - month [5]. - **Basis and Spread**: The 9 - 1 spread is running weakly, and the change in the 09 basis is limited [5]. 3.2 Variety Details Decomposition - **Domestic Urea Market Price**: The domestic urea market price has been fluctuating upwards this week [7]. - **International Urea Price**: International urea prices have shown a mixed trend of rising and falling [11]. - **Supply**: Many plants are under maintenance recently, resulting in a phased reduction in supply.
