  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the monthly perspective, September is likely to see a double - decline in supply and demand. The decline in September's capacity compared to August has widened to 6.2%, but it is still significantly smaller than the decline in the same period in 2024. The current decline in capacity may be less than the decline in demand, and the fundamentals are expected to face further pressure. - Strategically, it is advisable to hold short positions for the October contract as appropriate and add short positions at high prices. The upper pressure level is referred to as 1400 - 1500 points. For the 2512 contract, in terms of unilateral valuation, it is advisable to wait and see for the time being. It is recommended to focus on the opportunities to expand the spreads of the 10 - 12 reverse spread and the 12 - 04 positive spread in the medium to long term. [8] 3.
