Report Information - Report Title: Soda Ash and Glass Weekly Report - August 11, 2025 [1] - Author: Shen Wen [2] - Contact Information: shenwen_qh@ccnew.com, 0371 - 58620081 [2] 1. Report Core Views 1.1 Soda Ash - Supply: The plant operating rate was 85.41% (up 5.15% week - on - week), with the ammonia - soda method at 89.20% (up 2.80% week - on - week) and the combined soda method at 73.92% (up 6.06% week - on - week). The weekly output was 74.47 tons (up 4.49 tons week - on - week), with light soda ash output at 32.12 tons (up 2.01 tons) and heavy soda ash output at 42.35 tons (up 2.48 tons) [5]. - Demand: The apparent demand for soda ash was 67.54 tons (down 9.32 tons), with light soda ash at 29.66 tons (down 5.37 tons) and heavy soda ash at 37.88 tons (down 3.95 tons) [5]. - Inventory: Soda ash enterprise inventory was 186.51 tons (up 1.33 tons), light soda ash inventory was 71.76 tons (up 0.86 tons), and heavy soda ash inventory was 114.75 tons (up 0.47 tons) [5]. - Core Logic: The spot price of soda ash was weak this week. Recently, the overhauled plants of soda ash factories have resumed production one after another, and the supply of soda ash has risen to a year - on - year high level again. On the demand side, the apparent demand for soda ash decreased significantly week - on - week. The daily melting volume of float glass and photovoltaic glass remained stable. The expected reduction in the supply of photovoltaic glass will slow down. In general, soda ash still faces high supply and large warehouse receipt pressure, but the rise in raw material prices such as coal has also raised the cost bottom support. In the short term, the futures price of soda ash may continue to fluctuate weakly. In the long - term, under the pattern of new capacity release, the pressure of loose supply and demand for soda ash still exists. Opportunities to short at high levels after the weakening of macro - disturbances can be considered [5]. 1.2 Glass - Supply: The daily melting volume of float glass was 15.96 tons, unchanged from July 31. There were a total of 296 glass production lines in China, with 223 in production and 73 cold - repaired and shut down.

The inventory days were 26.4 days, 0.9 days more than the previous period [6]. - Demand: As of July 31, 2025, the average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises was 9.55 days, up 2.7% week - on - week and down 1.55% year - on - year [6]. - Core Logic: The spot market price of float glass was weak this week, with the national weekly average price at 1,221 yuan/ton, down 7 yuan/ton week - on - week. Recently, the supply of float glass has remained stable. Under the pressure of the release of intermediate goods, the inventory of glass enterprises has increased week - on - week. On the demand side, the operating rate of LOW - E glass sample enterprises was 76.8%, which increased slightly week - on - week but was still at a relatively low level year - on - year. The enthusiasm of downstream buyers was weak. In general, the current glass still faces weak demand and intermediate shipment pressure. It is expected that the futures price of glass may continue to fluctuate weakly. The impact of macro - policies should be followed up [6]. 2.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The egg market is currently characterized by high overall production capacity, with a slowdown in recent new replenishment. The supply - side pressure is gradually weakening, while the demand has improved but the marginal support is weakening, requiring new demand from tourism and Mid - Autumn Festival stocking. - The cost of feed has slightly declined, with the current feed cost around 2.5 yuan per catty and the comprehensive breeding cost around 2.8 yuan per catty. Egg prices have returned above the feed breeding cost seasonally, and profits have improved. - The spot market will still receive seasonal demand support after a short - term release of the decline sentiment, but the futures premium is obvious, and it is difficult to follow the spot rebound. As the delivery month approaches, the main 09 contract may decline to repair the basis, and attention should be paid to reverse spread opportunities. [3] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Futures Review - Last week, egg futures maintained a weak oscillation, and the overall weakness remained unchanged. The biggest contradiction in the market is the large basis, with obvious selling pressure and weak willingness to take delivery. [6] Spot Review - Last week, egg spot prices maintained a weak adjustment and stabilized over the weekend. The sales areas started to sell at low prices, and the market began to accept the goods. After this round of adjustment, the spot prices will be supported by the start of school for students and Mid - Autumn Festival deep - processing stocking. Attention should be paid to the rebound height. [13] Supply - Newly - added capacity: From August to November 2025, the newly - opened production corresponds to the replenishment volume from April to July 2025, and the newly - added capacity will decline significantly. - Elimination capacity: From August to November 2025, the normal elimination capacity corresponds to the replenishment volume from March to June 2024. The data shows a high elimination volume, but the current data indicates obvious delayed elimination. - Laying hen inventory: The inventory data continues to increase slightly, but it will start to decrease in September. The newly - added capacity is stable with a slight decline, and the elimination is relatively slow. The overall supply pressure still exists. [16] Elimination End - The price of eliminated chickens is 5.51 yuan per catty (- 0.27). The elimination volume has significantly decreased. The peak season and a slight price rebound limit the enthusiasm for elimination. The average elimination age is 502 days, remaining unchanged, and the overall age has reached the normal range, but the elimination of backward production capacity is not ideal. [19] Seasonal Factors - It is the seasonal peak season. On the production area side, the inventory pressure in the production areas has increased, high temperatures have reduced the laying rate and increased costs. On the consumption side, the arrival of the tourism peak season combined with deep - processing has improved the overall demand. [21] Cost & Profit - Cost side: Corn prices are running at a high level, and soybean meal prices have steadily declined. The overall cost remains volatile. The current feed cost is around 2.5 yuan per catty, and the comprehensive breeding cost is around 2.8 yuan per catty. - Breeding profit: Recently, egg prices have risen, and the spot price has returned above the feed cost. However, the overall comprehensive breeding profit is still in a loss, showing a seasonal bottom - rebounding trend. Attention should be paid to the negative feedback on backward production capacity. [27] Capital and Market - Capital has increased at a high level, and market competition has intensified. Bears believe that the production capacity is high, there is seasonal suppression, and the futures premium over the spot still has room to decline. Bulls believe that the valuation is low, and the seasonality is about to turn from weak to strong, making it valuable to go long. Currently, the reality is stronger than expectations, with obvious futures premium over the spot and obvious selling pressure in the market, waiting for the cycle conversion. [30] Basis and Spread - Basis: The basis is negative, and the overall futures are at a premium. The current basis is running at a low level, waiting for the basis to strengthen with the arrival of the peak season, which is more likely to be achieved through a decline in futures prices. - Spread: It shows that supply exceeds demand. The near - month contracts in the market are constantly repairing the basis through price declines, and the far - month contracts face the expectation of reduced production capacity, with a focus on reverse spread operations. [32][34]

Group 1: Report Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - This week, the domestic urea spot market price showed a weak trend. The current daily production will fluctuate around 190,000 - 200,000 tons. In August, many previously shut - down plants are expected to resume production, and some new capacity plants are expected to be put into operation, so the supply pressure is expected to increase. On the demand side, the production start - up of autumn compound fertilizers continues to increase, but the downstream dealers' enthusiasm for picking up goods is insufficient, and the finished product inventory still faces great pressure. In the short term, the high inventory of autumn fertilizers suppresses the production enthusiasm of enterprises, and the support for the procurement demand of urea raw materials is weak. The futures price may continue to fluctuate weakly, and the market should pay attention to the support level performance around 1,680 - 1,700 yuan/ton on the disk [4]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 01 Week - ly Viewpoint Summary - **Supply**: In August, many plants are expected to resume production, and the supply is expected to increase [4]. - **Demand**: The start - up of autumn fertilizers has increased, but the finished product inventory pressure is still large [4]. - **Inventory**: The inventory of upstream urea enterprises decreased slightly on a week - on - week basis [4]. - **Cost and Profit**: The upward trend of coal prices has slowed down, and the urea profit decreased slightly on a week - on - week basis [4]. - **Basis and Spread**: The 9 - 1 spread fluctuated strongly, and the change in the 09 basis was limited [4]. - **Overall Logic**: The domestic urea spot market price was weak this week. Supply pressure is expected to increase, while demand is constrained by high inventory. The futures price may continue to fluctuate weakly, and attention should be paid to the support level around 1,680 - 1,700 yuan/ton [4]. 02 Variety Details Decomposition - **2.1 This week, the domestic urea market price changed from strong to weak**: There are price trend charts of urea in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, and Northeast China from 2021 - 2025 [6][7][8]. - **2.2 On August 4, the lowest CFR price of the Indian tender on the east coast was $532/ton**: There are charts showing international urea prices, price differences between FOB China and other regions, and export price differences from 2019 - 2025 [10][11][12]. - **2.3 Supply - In August, many plants are expected to resume production, and the supply is expected to increase**: The weekly urea production was 1.3548 million tons (+0.01%), including 1.0451 million tons of coal - based urea production (-1.62%) and 309,700 tons of gas - based urea production (+5.92%), with an average daily production of 194,000 tons. There are also plans for plant overhauls and historical data on overhaul losses [16][20][23]. - **2.4 Inventory - The inventory of upstream urea enterprises decreased slightly on a week - on - week basis**: The urea enterprise inventory was 887,600 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 29,700 tons.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report Copper - **Logic**: Macroeconomic factors include China's export growth in July exceeding expectations, the impact of US tariff policies yet to be seen, and market expectations of a Fed rate cut within the year. Fundamentally, high - end copper supply is scarce, imported low - price supplies are limited, and demand is suppressed by high prices. As of August 7, copper inventory rose to 132,000 tons. The implementation of US copper tariffs and high inventory are pressuring prices [4]. - **Strategy**: Wait for the price to stabilize. The upper reference pressure level for the SHFE Copper 2509 contract is 80,000 yuan/ton, and the lower reference support level is 76,000 yuan/ton [4]. Electrolytic Aluminum - **Logic**: Macroeconomic factors are similar to copper. Fundamentally, production is slightly increasing, costs are stable, and profits are high.
