Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - This week, the sales of new homes in first-tier cities weakened significantly. On Friday, Beijing introduced new property market policies, and it is expected that other first-tier cities will also introduce a new round of property market policies successively. The price of rebar fluctuated, the price of cement continued to decline, and the focus was on key industries to combat excessive competition. The travel intensity remained strong, and the SCFI continued to decline [1]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Real Estate Sales: New Home Sales in First-Tier Cities Weakened Significantly - This week (August 1 - August 7), the transaction volume of new homes decreased significantly on a week-on-week basis, and the year-on-year decline slightly narrowed. Specifically, the transaction area of new homes in first-tier cities was significantly weaker than that of the same period last year, while that in second, third, and fourth-tier cities was slightly lower than last year. The transaction area of 20 key cities monitored by Wind decreased by 27.18% week-on-week and 14.49% year-on-year [7]. - The transaction volume of second-hand homes decreased significantly on a week-on-week basis, and the year-on-year performance varied.

On a year-on-year basis, except for Shanghai (3.83%) and Shenzhen (3.88%), the transaction volume in other cities was weaker than last year [26]. 2. Investment: Most Commodity Prices Declined - This week, most commodity prices declined. The price of rebar fluctuated within a narrow range, with the cost side supported by strict inspections of coking coal overproduction, but the demand side remained weak, and inventory continued to accumulate. The price of glass decreased as the sentiment of combating excessive competition subsided, and the price lacked upward momentum due to weak demand. The cement price index continued to decline, affected by weather and demand, and local price cuts could not offset the inventory pressure. The price of asphalt decreased, possibly affected by fluctuations in the cost of crude oil [2]. 3. Production: The Utilization Rates of Production Capacity Showed Differentiated Performance - This week, the utilization rates of production capacity showed differentiated performance.

The sharp increase in vegetable prices was mainly due to floods caused by heavy rainfall in the north, which destroyed vegetable fields and reduced the supply of vegetables.
