Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - In the short term, the macro - risk is partially reduced but still exists, and the fundamentals of the three major oils are in a state of mixed long and short positions, with short - term prices expected to continue to fluctuate. Palm oil and soybean oil are expected to be relatively strong, while rapeseed oil is expected to be relatively weak but with limited downside space [1][29] - In the medium to long term, palm oil is expected to strengthen after November. Soybean oil prices should be treated with cautious optimism, and the anti - dumping policy on Canadian rapeseed is the biggest uncertainty for rapeseed oil [2][30] Summary by Related Catalogs Palm Oil - **Short - term situation**: The MPOB September report was unexpectedly bearish, and October data showed continued production growth and weakened export demand, leading to rising inventory. However, the upcoming traditional减产 season in Southeast Asia in November, uncertainties in Indonesian production, and the progress of the B50 test provide bullish support. It is expected that the price will have limited fluctuations in October and strengthen towards the end of the production season [5][6] - **Malaysian situation**: The September inventory reached a five - year high of 2.36 million tons. The production from October 1 - 15 increased by 6.86% month - on - month, and the export growth from October 1 - 20 was lower than that from October 1 - 15. The inventory is expected to rise in October, but the time for further inventory accumulation is limited [6] - **Indonesian situation**: In July, the inventory was relatively low at 2.57 million tons. There are concerns about production decline due to the nationalization of illegal plantations. The B50 biodiesel has completed non - road tests, with an expected demand increase of 3 - 4 million tons of palm oil. The inventory is expected to remain in a tight balance in 2025 [9] - **Domestic situation**: After the National Day holiday, the palm oil inventory rebounded. As of October 17, the inventory was 575,700 tons, and the short - term de - stocking is expected to be limited [11] - **Medium - to - long - term outlook**: Starting from November, the traditional减产 season in Southeast Asia, combined with the B50 news and domestic de - stocking expectations, will help the palm oil price strengthen in the fourth quarter [14] Soybean Oil - **Short - term situation**: The short - term rebound of US soybeans is limited due to uncertain Sino - US trade relations, weak export demand, and lack of other bullish factors. The domestic soybean oil supply is also loose, and the short - term rebound is expected to be limited, with a fluctuating trend [15] - **US soybean situation**: There is a high probability of a decrease in the new - crop yield, and the domestic consumption is strong, but the export is uncertain, and the supply pressure will be large after the harvest. The short - term rebound of the 01 contract is limited, with the upper pressure level at 1050 - 1070 [16] - **South American situation**: As of October 11, the sowing progress of Brazilian soybeans in the 2025/2026 season was 11.1%, which was relatively fast. Currently, there is no short - term weather risk [20] - **Domestic situation**: The domestic soybean and soybean oil inventories have been at high levels. The soybean arrivals from November to January are expected to be normal, and the supply in the fourth quarter is sufficient [22] - **Medium - to - long - term outlook**: There are potential bullish factors, and the medium - to - long - term trend of soybean oil is cautiously optimistic [24] Rapeseed Oil - **Policy impact**: The anti - dumping policy on Canadian rapeseed is the main factor affecting domestic rapeseed oil. Since August, the domestic rapeseed arrivals have significantly decreased. Before November, the supply shortage cannot be solved, and after November, the supply tension may be partially alleviated, but the supply - demand imbalance remains [25][26] - **Policy risk**: There is room for policy softening in Canada. The recent meeting between China and Canada did not have a breakthrough, and the impact on rapeseed oil is limited. Continued attention should be paid to Sino - Canadian relations and processing restrictions on Australian rapeseed [27] Strategy - For the 01 contracts of soybean, palm, and rapeseed oil, pay attention to the performance in the ranges of 8150 - 8400, 9200 - 9600, and 9800 - 10000 respectively, and it is recommended to adopt the idea of buying on dips [2][30]

However, the inventory accumulation period is coming to an end, and there are uncertainties in Indonesia's production and the progress of B50 is ahead of schedule, so the price trend in October is expected to have limited fluctuations and strengthen towards the end of the production season [5]. - **Malaysian situation**: MPOB's September report showed that the inventory reached a five - year high of 236000 tons. SPPOMA data indicated a 6.86% increase in production from October 1 - 15. ITS data showed that the export growth rate decreased in the second half of October. The inventory is expected to continue rising in October, but the inventory accumulation time is limited due to the upcoming traditional production - reduction season [6]. - **Indonesian situation**: In July, the inventory was at a relatively low level of 2.57 million tons. There are concerns about production decline due to the takeover of illegal plantations. The B50 biodiesel has completed non - road tests, and the implementation of B50 is expected to increase the demand for palm oil by 3 - 4 million tons. The inventory in 2025 is expected to maintain a tight balance [9]. - **Domestic situation**: Due to pre - National Day stocking, palm oil stocks decreased slightly in September. The estimated arrivals in October and November are 230000 and 190000 tons respectively. After the National Day stocking, the inventory rebounded. As of October 17, the inventory was 575700 tons, and the short - term de - stocking is expected to be limited [11]. - **Medium - to - long - term outlook**: After November, the traditional production - reduction season begins in Southeast Asia. The La Nina phenomenon may intensify the production decline. The B50 - related positive news will continue to be released, and Indonesia may restrict exports. The domestic palm oil purchases after November are relatively low, and the de - stocking power increases during the peak season, which is conducive to the price increase in the fourth quarter [14]. Soybean Oil - **Short - term situation**: The market hopes for an improvement in US soybean export demand due to the upcoming Sino - US leaders' meeting and the USDA's communication with South American countries. However, it is too early to conclude that the Sino - US trade dispute is resolved. The current export demand for US soybeans is still weak, and the domestic soybean and soybean oil supply in China is abundant. The short - term rebound of soybean oil is limited, and the trend is expected to be volatile [15]. - **US soybean situation**: In terms of production, the probability of a decrease in yield is high due to the drought in the main production areas. In terms of demand, the US soybean crushing volume in September reached a record high, but the export progress in the 25/26 season is far behind. The short - term rebound of US soybean 01 contract is limited, with the upper pressure level at 1050 - 1070 [16]. - **South American situation**: As of October 11, the sowing progress of Brazilian soybeans in the 25/26 season is relatively fast. Although the La Nina phenomenon exists, there is currently no short - term weather risk in the main production areas [20]. - **Domestic situation**: Since May, China's soybean arrivals have been above 10 million tons for five consecutive months, and the oil mills have maintained a high operating rate. As of October 17, the domestic soybean and soybean oil inventories are at historical highs. The soybean arrivals from November to January are expected to be at normal levels, and the supply in the fourth quarter is not short [22]. - **Medium - to - long - term outlook**: There are potential positive factors such as an improvement in US soybean export demand, the implementation of US bio - fuel policies, a decrease in US soybean production, South American weather speculation, and a supply gap in the first quarter of 2026. The medium - to - long - term trend of soybean oil is cautiously optimistic [24]. Rapeseed Oil - **Policy impact**: The anti - dumping policy on Canadian rapeseed is the main factor affecting the domestic rapeseed oil market. Since August, the import of Canadian rapeseed has been severely restricted, resulting in a significant decline in domestic rapeseed arrivals. The supply shortage before November is difficult to solve, and the supply situation may be partially alleviated after November, but the supply - demand tension remains [25][26]. - **Risk factor**: There is room for policy softening in Canada due to the high inventory and low price of rapeseed. The Canadian foreign minister's visit to China did not bring a breakthrough, and the short - term import of Canadian rapeseed remains restricted. The follow - up situation depends on the development of Sino - Canadian relations and the relaxation of processing restrictions on Australian rapeseed [27].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current futures market is at a stage of intense collision between macro - drivers and industrial realities. Precious metals have prominent allocation value. For non - ferrous metals, pay attention to the long - position layout opportunities for copper after a pullback. The black - metal sector is under pressure, and its rebound depends on domestic policies. The energy - chemical sector is suppressed by crude oil and is a short - term short - allocation choice. Some agricultural products like sugar have independent long - position opportunities [2]. - Investors should follow the idea of "macro determines the direction, industry determines the variety", focus on key events such as the Fed's interest - rate meeting in late October, policy settings of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, and the follow - up progress of Sino - US trade negotiations, and adjust positions flexibly while strictly managing risks [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Summary of Core Macro Hotspots during the National Day Holiday (1) International Macro: Loose Expectations and Geopolitical Risks - US economic data is weak, with a 32,000 decrease in September ADP employment and a drop in ISM services PMI. The probability of a Fed rate cut in October has risen to 99%, and the expected cumulative rate - cut range this year is 50 - 75 basis points. The US government shutdown has disrupted data release and increased market volatility. OPEC+ has slowed down production increases, but there are concerns about long - term supply surpluses. Geopolitical risks are structurally differentiated, with the Middle East situation easing and the Russia - Ukraine conflict continuing. Trade protectionism is on the rise, with the EU and the US introducing tariff - increasing measures [6][7][9][10][11]. (2) Domestic Macro: Policy Expectations and Structural Recovery of Domestic Demand - The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee is expected to set mid - to long - term policy frameworks. Industrial policies are coordinated, with plans for the steel and building materials industries. Economic data shows structural characteristics, with slow manufacturing recovery and differentiated holiday consumption. Financial data has improved marginally, and there are changes in foreign trade policies and domestic industrial adjustment [13][15][16][17]. 2. Outlook for Each Sector (1) Non - Ferrous Metals Sector - Precious metals are strong due to factors like the US government shutdown, weak economic data, and the Russia - Ukraine conflict. Copper has long - term support but faces short - term consumption suppression. Aluminum is relatively weak, and tin's price is affected by supply and consumption [21][22][23]. (2) Black Metals Sector - Steel has high inventory and weak demand, and its price depends on policy signals. Iron ore has a loose supply - demand pattern, and coking coal and coke are in a negative feedback loop in the industrial chain [24][25][27]. (3) Energy Sector - Crude oil is in a range - bound state with multiple factors at play, and natural gas is expected to be strong due to demand growth and supply concerns [28][29][30]. (4) Chemical Sector - Crude - oil - related products are expected to be weak, and glass is strong due to supply contraction while纯碱 is under pressure [30][31]. (5) Agricultural Products Sector - There are structural opportunities in oilseeds, policy support in grains, differentiated trends in soft commodities, and bottom - bound oscillations in livestock and eggs [32][33][35]. 3. Conclusions and Suggestions - The futures market is in a period of intense collision between macro - drivers and industrial realities. Different sectors have different characteristics, and investors should focus on key events, adjust positions flexibly, and manage risks [37].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Report's Core View - **Stock Index**: With important meetings approaching, market policy expectations are rising. Coupled with the Fed still having room to cut interest rates this year, it will support the market. However, the KDJ indicator shows that the market index may adjust [10]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Yields of interest - rate bonds and credit bonds have declined. Overseas credit risks have led to a decline in risk appetite, and global bonds have temporarily improved. It is advisable to take partial profit during the risk - impact window. The Sino - US negotiation at the end of the month will be the key factor for future market risk appetite. If there is significant volatility in the next two weeks, appropriate band operations can be carried out according to positions. The KDJ indicator shows that the T main contract may adjust [11]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Financial Futures Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Stock Index Strategy Recommendations - **Strategy Outlook**: The stock index is expected to move in a volatile manner [10]. - **Stock Index Trend Review**: Last week, the weekly gains of all A - share broad - based indexes were negative, with the ChiNext and STAR Market indexes having the largest declines. Coal and banks performed well [10]. - **Core View**: High - level Sino - US exchanges and the upcoming important domestic meetings, along with the release of macro - economic data and the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation, will support the market [10]. - **Technical Analysis**: The KDJ indicator shows that the market index may adjust [10]. 3.1.2 Treasury Bond Strategy Recommendations - **Treasury Bond Trend Review**: The 30 - year, 10 - year, 5 - year, and 2 - year main contracts rose by 0.74%, 0.12%, 0.07%, and 0.01% respectively [11]. - **Core View**: Yields of interest - rate and credit bonds declined. Overseas credit risks affected the market, but the panic may be excessive. It is advisable to take partial profit, and the Sino - US negotiation is a key factor [11]. - **Technical Analysis**: The KDJ indicator shows that the T main contract may adjust [11]. - **Strategy Outlook**: The bond market is expected to move in a volatile manner [11]. 3.2 Key Data Tracking 3.2.1 PMI - In September, the manufacturing PMI rebounded to 49.4%. The improvement in supply and demand and the replenishment of raw material inventories supported the rebound, while the supplier delivery time and employment indexes slightly dragged it down. The improvement in domestic and foreign demand may be due to non - US capital goods orders, US Christmas - season restocking, and the downstream's more active raw material procurement after the upstream price increase [18]. 3.2.2 CPI - In September, the year - on - year CPI was - 0.3%, and the month - on - month was + 0.1%. The year - on - year PPI was - 2.3%, and the month - on - month was flat. The improvement in August's PPI was due to the base effect and the "anti - involution" policy. The year - on - year CPI was still negative, the year - on - year increase in core CPI expanded, gold jewelry and services were the main support for the year - on - year CPI, and the year - on - year decline in PPI narrowed [21]. 3.2.3 Import and Export - In September, China's exports were $328.57 billion, imports were $238.12 billion, and the trade surplus was $90.45 billion. The sharp rebound in export growth in September was mainly due to the base effect and seasonal factors. The two - year average growth rate continued to decline, and the month - on - month growth rate was weaker than the average from 2018 - 2023, indicating that the export performance was not that strong [22][23]. 3.2.4 Industrial Enterprise Profits - In August, both the profit growth rate and revenue growth rate rebounded. From January to August, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial enterprise profits rebounded to 0.9%. In August, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial enterprise profits quickly rebounded to 20.4%, with a marginal increase of 21.9%. The year - on - year growth rate of industrial enterprise revenue in August was 1.9%, with a marginal increase of 1.0%. The improvement in profit was contributed by quantity, price, and profit margin, with the profit - margin improvement being the most obvious, possibly related to investment income recognition [27]. - Structurally, the rebound in profit growth in August may be due to the concentrated recognition of state - owned enterprise investment income and the effectiveness of the "anti - involution" policy. In terms of revenue, the year - on - year growth rate of upstream manufacturing industries rebounded, while that of mid - and downstream industries declined, mainly affected by the "anti - involution" policy [30]. - At the end of August, the nominal year - on - year growth rate of industrial enterprise finished - product inventories declined to 2.3%, and the real inventory year - on - year growth rate declined to 5.4%. The real inventory depletion was faster under the influence of PPI convergence, mainly due to downstream advance procurement. The inventory turnover days remained unchanged at 20.5 days, and the accounts - receivable turnover days increased by 0.3 days to 70.1 days, indicating high business pressure [33]. 3.2.5 Industrial Added Value - In August, the production intensity declined, and the downstream production slowdown was obvious. The year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value declined to 5.2%, and the year - on - year growth rate of the service production index declined to 5.6%. Among the mid - level industries, the year - on - year growth rate of industries such as computer communication electronics, electrical machinery, and metal products declined significantly. The year - on - year growth rate of export delivery value turned negative to - 0.4% for the first time since 2024, confirming the differentiation of mid - level production data [36]. 3.2.6 Fixed - Asset Investment - In August, the growth rate of fixed - asset investment continued to decline. The estimated single - month year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment declined to - 6.3%, and that of private investment declined to - 7.1%. The year - on - year growth rates of manufacturing investment, infrastructure investment, and real - estate investment all declined. The estimated year - on - year growth rate of manufacturing investment declined to - 1.3%, that of new and old - caliber infrastructure investment declined to - 5.9% and - 6.4% respectively, and that of real - estate investment declined to - 19.5% [39]. 3.2.7 Social Retail Sales - In August, the year - on - year growth rate of social retail sales declined to 3.4%, and that of above - quota retail sales declined to 2.4%. The narrowing of national subsidy channels and the overdraft effect of durable - goods consumption led to a lack of upward momentum in consumption. The national subsidy funds in the third quarter were 69 billion yuan, slightly lower than the 81 billion yuan per quarter in the first half of the year. The year - on - year performance of the three major national subsidy categories weakened significantly compared with June, and the year - on - year growth rate of optional consumption declined to - 0.1%. The three major national subsidy categories still contributed about 40% to the growth of social retail sales, indicating slow growth in other consumption categories [42]. 3.2.8 Social Financing - In September, the new social financing was 3.5 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 0.2 trillion yuan. The year - on - year growth rate of social financing stock declined to 8.7%, remained flat at 5.9% after excluding government bonds, and the credit growth rate in the social financing caliber declined to 6.4%. The year - on - year decrease in social financing was mainly dragged down by government bonds and credit. The year - on - year growth of long - term household loans turned positive, but that of long - term corporate loans still decreased. The M1 growth rate continued to rise, and the year - on - year growth of non - bank deposits turned negative [45].

Report Title - Carbonate Lithium Weekly Report [2] Report Date - October 20, 2025 [3] 1. Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - The domestic supply and demand of carbonate lithium will remain in a tight balance until there is a clear result on the lithium mining license issue in Jiangxi. It is expected that subsequent lithium salt imports from South America will supplement the supply. The terminal demand for energy storage is strong, with large battery cell manufacturers increasing their production schedules by 8% in September and a projected 4% increase in cathode production in October. There are ongoing risks related to mining licenses, and with profit recovery, lithium extraction from ore continues to increase, leading to a rise in the cost center. The proportion of long - term contracts and customer - supplied products for battery manufacturers is increasing, and warehouse receipts are being continuously cancelled. It is expected that the price of carbonate lithium will be supported in the short term. Attention should be paid to the disturbances at the Yichun mining end, and it is recommended to trade cautiously and monitor the progress of mining licenses in Yichun mines and the resumption of production at the Ningde Jianxiawo lithium mine [6]. 3. Summaries by Directory 3.1 Weekly Viewpoints 3.1.1 Supply Situation - According to Baichuan Yingfu statistics, last week's carbonate lithium production increased by 326 tons week - on - week to 22,765 tons, and September's production increased by 3.3% month - on - month to 95,442 tons. The Ningde Jianxiawo mine has been confirmed to be shut down for 3 months, and production enterprises in Yichun and Qinghai have received notices for the re - review of mining rights transfers, affecting supply. In the first half of the year, Australian mines achieved cost control, and there is extremely limited room for further cost reduction. Most mainstream Australian mines have reduced their capital expenditures for fiscal year 2025. In August 2025, China imported 619,000 tons of lithium concentrate, a 17.5% decrease from the previous month. The top three importing countries were Australia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria. Lithium concentrate imports from Australia decreased by 50.5% month - on - month, imports from Zimbabwe were 118,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 83.9%, imports from Nigeria were 105,000 tons, a 9.5% decrease, and imports from Mali increased by 73,000 tons. In August, 21,847 tons of carbonate lithium were imported, a 57.8% month - on - month increase, with 15,608 tons from Chile, accounting for 71%. The CIF price of imported lithium spodumene concentrate decreased week - on - week, and some manufacturers producing carbonate lithium from purchased lithium ore faced cost inversion. Enterprises with their own ore and salt lakes had some profit support, while lithium hydroxide manufacturers faced greater cost pressure [5]. 3.1.2 Demand Situation - The overall production schedule in October increased month - on - month, and large battery cell manufacturers' production schedules increased by 8% in September. In August, the total production of power and other batteries in China was 139.6 GWh, a 4.4% month - on - month increase and a 37.3% year - on - year increase. The total export of power and other batteries was 22.6 GWh, a 2.6% month - on - month decrease but a 23.9% year - on - year increase. The sales volume of power and other batteries was 134.5 GWh, a 5.7% month - on - month increase and a 45.6% year - on - year increase. The trade - in policy and the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax policy are expected to continue to support the rapid growth of China's new energy vehicle market sales [6]. 3.1.3 Inventory Situation - This week, carbonate lithium inventory showed a destocking trend. Factory inventory decreased by 2,255 tons, market inventory increased by 13,194 tons, and futures inventory decreased by 11,983 tons [6]. 3.1.4 Strategy Recommendations - Given the current situation, it is recommended to trade cautiously and continuously monitor the progress of mining licenses in Yichun mines and the resumption of production at the Ningde Jianxiawo lithium mine [6]. 3.2 Key Data Tracking - The report provides multiple data charts, including the spot tax - included average price of carbonate lithium, weekly and monthly production and inventory of carbonate lithium, average price of lithium concentrate imports, production proportion of carbonate lithium from different raw materials in September 2024, differences between domestic power battery production and loading volume, average production cost of carbonate lithium, monthly production of lithium iron phosphate and ternary materials, import volume of lithium spodumene, average price of power - type lithium iron phosphate, and average price of ternary materials 8 - series NCA type [8][9][11][24] etc.

Core Views The report provides investment strategies and market analyses for various futures products. It takes into account factors such as macroeconomic data, industry events, supply - demand relationships, and international policies. For example, in the macro - financial sector, important meetings and potential Fed rate cuts support the stock market, while in the bond market, the outcome of Sino - US negotiations is crucial. In the black building materials sector, supply and demand factors affect the prices of coking coal, rebar, etc. Each sector's analysis is based on a combination of multiple factors to guide investment decisions [5][7][8]. Summaries by Categories Macrofinance - **Index Futures**: Last week, A - share broad - based indices all had negative weekly returns, with the ChiNext and STAR Market indices having the largest declines. This week, the release of macro - economic data and important events will affect the market. With the approaching of important meetings and the potential Fed rate cuts, the market is expected to be supported. It is recommended to buy on dips in the medium to long term [5]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Interest - rate bond yields declined across all tenors and varieties, and credit - bond yields also decreased. Overseas credit risks led to a decline in risk appetite, but the compound negative factors in the bond market have not been fundamentally resolved. It is advisable to take partial profits during risk - event shocks. The Sino - US negotiations at the end of the month will be the key to determining market risk appetite [5]. Black Building Materials - **Coking Coal and Coke**: During the National Day, supply was temporarily halted and is expected to gradually recover after the holiday. The supply recovery is relatively slow, and coking coal has long - position value. After the holiday, the first round of coke price increases started, supported by steel mills' demand [7][8]. - **Rebar**: Last Friday, rebar futures prices oscillated. The fundamental situation shows that the price is undervalued, and with the improvement of demand and the decline of production, the price is expected to oscillate at a low level. It is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity to go long around 3000 for the RB2601 contract [8]. - **Glass**: After the National Day, environmental protection and macro - policy expectations cooled down, and the market returned to the fundamental logic. Supply is increasing, demand is weak, and the inventory is rising. It is recommended to observe and wait for a reversal to consider going long [9][10]. Non - ferrous Metals - **Copper**: The copper price fluctuated greatly due to trade - related news. Although the price increase suppresses demand, the demand in the fourth quarter has room for improvement. The fundamentals are relatively stable, and it is recommended to hold long positions cautiously on dips without chasing highs [11]. - **Aluminum**: The price of bauxite in Guinea decreased, and the operating capacity of alumina and electrolytic aluminum changed. The demand in the peak season is weak, but the inventory of aluminum ingots is decreasing well. It is recommended to lay out long positions on dips [13]. - **Nickel**: The price of nickel ore is firm, but the supply may become looser. Refined nickel is in an oversupply situation, and the price of nickel iron has limited upside. It is recommended to observe or short on highs [18]. - **Tin**: The domestic refined tin production decreased in September, and the supply is expected to be more relaxed in the fourth quarter. The downstream consumption is weak, and it is recommended for range - bound trading [18]. - **Silver and Gold**: Due to the delay of the US PPI data and the risk of government shutdown, the safe - haven sentiment increased. With the expectation of rate cuts and concerns about the US economy, the prices of silver and gold are expected to be supported. It is recommended to trade cautiously and build positions after sufficient pullbacks [19][20]. Energy and Chemicals - **PVC**: The cost is at a low level, the supply is high, the domestic demand is weak, and the export sustainability is questionable.
