Variety Insights Stock Index Futures - On May 13th, the three major A-share indexes fluctuated. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.17% to 3374.87 points, the Shenzhen Component Index fell 0.13% to 10288.08 points, and the ChiNext Index fell 0.12% to 2062.26 points. The trading volume in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets reached 1.2916 trillion yuan, a slight decrease of 16.9 billion yuan from the previous day. The CSI 300 Index closed at 3896.26, up 5.65 [1]. Coke and Coking Coal - On May 13th, the weighted coke index was weak, closing at 1450.0 yuan, down 9.5. The weighted coking coal index remained weak, closing at 871.0 yuan, down 7.5. After the first round of price increase for coke, the price remained stable. The relevant national ministries are actively deploying and promoting the regulation of national crude steel production, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is revising the Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry. The short - term supply elasticity of coke is better than that of coking coal, and the increase in hot metal production is limited. The average profit per ton of coke for 30 independent coking plants nationwide is 1 yuan/ton. The price of Mongolian No. 5 raw coal is 820 yuan/ton, down 5 yuan/ton. The supply of coking coal is loose, and the mine production is stable, with a significant increase in clean coal inventory this period [1][2]. Zhengzhou Sugar - Affected by the technical adjustment of the US sugar and the bearish monthly report of the Market Early - Warning Expert Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Zhengzhou Sugar 2509 contract fluctuated downward on May 13th and rose at night due to short - covering. As of the end of April 2025, the cumulative sugar production in China was 11.11 million tons, an increase of 1.15 million tons year - on - year. The sugar production forecast for the 2024/25 season has been further raised to 11.15 million tons, and it is predicted that the sugar production in 2025/26 will continue to increase slightly to 11.2 million tons. India has set a sugarcane production target of 467 million tons for 2025 - 26, higher than last year's 436.08 million tons [2]. Rubber - Affected by the technical adjustment due to the recent sharp increase, the Shanghai rubber fluctuated and closed slightly higher on May 13th and continued to rise slightly at night. As of May 11th, 2025, the total inventory of natural rubber in Qingdao's bonded and general trade areas was 618,700 tons, an increase of 4500 tons or 0.73% from the previous period. The bonded area inventory increased by 5.89% to 90,000 tons, and the general trade inventory decreased by 0.09% to 528,700 tons. The automobile market performed well in April, and the production and sales in the first four months of this year exceeded 10 million for the first time in history [3]. Soybean Meal - In the international market, on May 13th, the CBOT soybean futures prices closed higher. The US Department of Agriculture's supply - demand report lowered the US soybean production forecast, and the easing of Sino - US trade relations was also positive. The USDA expects the ending inventory of US soybeans in 2025/2026 to be 295 million bushels, lower than the analysts' pre - report estimate of 362 million bushels. The sown area is expected to be 83.5 million acres, the yield per acre to be 52.5 bushels, and the production to be 4.34 billion bushels. In the domestic market, on May 13th, the soybean meal futures prices fluctuated weakly. The M2509 contract closed at 2886 yuan/ton, down 0.76%. After May, the arrival of imported soybeans increased rapidly, the oil mill operating rate continued to rise, and the soybean meal inventory stopped falling and rebounded slowly, remaining at a low level. The soybean meal market may fluctuate weakly in the context of loose supply [4][5]. Live Hogs - On May 13th, the live hog futures fluctuated. The LH2509 main contract closed at 13,885 yuan/ton, up 0.11%. The overall consumer demand is weak, with more alternative consumption, and the sales of fresh pork are poor. The breeding side is normalizing the slaughter, and the average slaughter weight is high. According to the inventory of breeding sows, the theoretical supply of live hogs will increase month - by - month in the second quarter. In the long - term, the live hog futures may maintain a weak and volatile trend [6]. Palm Oil - On May 13th, palm oil rose first and then fell, continuing the weak and volatile trend. The main contract P2509 closed with a negative line, with the highest price of 8082, the lowest price of 7938, and the closing price of 7954, down 0.87% from the previous day. From May 1 - 10, 2025, the palm oil yield in Malaysia increased by 20.2%, the oil extraction rate increased by 0.4%, and the production increased by 22.31%. In April, Malaysia's palm oil imports decreased by 52.17% month - on - month, production increased by 21.52% month - on - month, and exports increased by 9.62% month - on - month [6]. Shanghai Copper - On May 13th, the main Shanghai copper contract CU2506 opened at 78,080 yuan/ton, reached a high of 78,190 yuan/ton, a low of 77,620 yuan/ton, and closed at 77,820 yuan/ton, down 0.27%. The trading volume was 39,435 lots, and the open interest was 180,978 lots. The price first rose, then fell, and then stabilized. The fundamental supply - demand relationship has weakened, with increased supply and decreased demand, but the price is also supported to some extent [7]. Iron Ore - On May 13th, the iron ore 2509 main contract fluctuated and rose, with a gain of 1.06% and a closing price of 714.5 yuan. The overseas shipment and arrival of iron ore decreased this period, the supply tightened, and the growth rate of hot metal production slowed down but remained at a high level. In the short - term, iron ore will show a volatile trend [7]. Asphalt - On May 13th, the asphalt 2506 main contract fluctuated and rose, with a gain of 0.69% and a closing price of 3485 yuan. With the recovery of refinery processing profit, the asphalt production capacity utilization rate increased month - on - month, the social inventory accumulated slightly, and the demand release was still average. In the short - term, asphalt will show a volatile trend [7]. Logs - On May 13th, the 2507 log contract opened at 804, with the lowest price of 784, the highest price of 805, and closed at 788, with a reduction of 7285 lots. The support level is at 780, and the resistance level is at 803. The spot prices of 3.9 - meter medium - grade A radiata pine logs in Shandong and 4 - meter medium - grade A radiata pine logs in Jiangsu remained unchanged from the previous day. The port log inventory decreased to a two - month low, with a slight increase in outbound volume. The overall demand is weak, and the supply - demand relationship has no major contradictions [8]. Cotton - On the night of May 13th, the main Zhengzhou cotton contract closed at 13,335 yuan/ton. The lowest basis price of cotton in the Xinjiang designated delivery (supervision) warehouse of the National Cotton Exchange on May 13th was 610 yuan/ton, and the cotton inventory decreased by 41 lots from the previous day. According to the USDA's May global cotton supply - demand forecast report, the global cotton production in 2025/26 will decrease year - on - year but remain at the second - highest level in the past five years, while consumption will increase year - on - year and reach the highest level in the past five years [9]. Steel - On May 13th, rb2510 closed at 3079 yuan/ton, and hc2510 closed at 3215 yuan/ton. The US will reduce the tariff on most Chinese goods from 145% to 30% before May 14th, and China will reduce the tariff on US products from 125% to 10%. The consensus of the Sino - US economic and trade negotiation exceeded market expectations, boosting market sentiment. The fundamental supply - demand relationship of rebar has weakened, but the macro - sentiment has strengthened. In the short - term, the rebar futures may show a volatile trend [9]. Alumina - On May 13th, ao2509 closed at 2840 yuan/ton. The spot trading price of alumina continued to rise, and the indexes in various regions increased by about 10 yuan. Recently, the capacity for maintenance and production reduction of alumina has been increasing, and the production has decreased periodically, with the industry inventory turning to decline. However, once the profit is restored, the capacity will resume production on a large scale, and new capacities in Shandong and Hebei will gradually produce finished products. The cost of Guinean bauxite has dropped from 110 US dollars at the beginning of the year to 75 US dollars, and the average cost of alumina has dropped to around 2900 yuan [10]. Shanghai Aluminum - On May 13th, al2506 closed at 20,005 yuan/ton. The result of the Sino - US tariff negotiation exceeded expectations, improving the macro - sentiment. Some short - sellers left the market, pushing up the aluminum price with reduced positions. However, the peak season is over, and the weakening demand expectation restricts the increase in aluminum price. In the short - term, pay attention to the 20,000 - yuan/ton level, and in the medium - term, pay attention to whether the tariff negotiation result will lead to enterprises' rush - to - export and improve the aluminum demand situation [10]. Lithium Carbonate - The index price of battery - grade lithium carbonate was 64,762 yuan/ton, down 46 yuan/ton from the previous working day. The price range of battery - grade lithium carbonate was 63,400 - 65,800 yuan/ton, with an average of 64,600 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous working day. The price range of industrial - grade lithium carbonate was 62,450 - 63,450 yuan/ton, with an average of 62,950 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous working day. The spot trading price of lithium carbonate has temporarily stabilized. The downstream procurement willingness is weak, and the overall demand is mainly met by customer - supplied and long - term contracts. The upstream lithium salt factories have a strong willingness to support the price under cost - loss pressure. Only some transactions occur between traders and downstream enterprises. There may be a rush - to - export expectation for Chinese energy - storage cells within the 90 - day tariff - exemption period, which may drive up the demand for lithium carbonate. However, considering the high inventory level and the continuous decline in ore prices, the price of lithium carbonate is likely to show a low - level volatile trend with a greater possibility of decline [10][11].
