Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market cooled last Friday, and the prices of finished steel products declined slightly. The demand for finished steel products is clearly weak, the profits of steel mills are gradually shrinking, and the weak characteristics of the market are becoming more prominent. If the demand cannot be effectively improved in the future, the prices may continue to decline. The raw material end is more resilient than the finished product end, and attention should be paid to the potential impact of safety inspections and environmental protection restrictions. It is recommended to continuously track the progress of terminal demand recovery and the support of the cost end for the prices of finished products [4]. - The prices of ferroalloys are continuing to extrude the over - valued part caused by the "anti - involution" expectation. The market is gradually shifting from trading expectations to trading the real situation. The continuous accumulation of inventory at the steel and hot - rolled coil ends makes the market worried about the demand in the peak season. The prices of the black sector may continue to be under pressure in the future [12]. - The prices of industrial silicon are pulled down by the weak reality. The over - capacity, high inventory, and insufficient demand problems have not changed fundamentally. The supply pressure exceeds the demand support, and the price is expected to be weakly oscillating in the short term. Polysilicon continues the pattern of "weak reality, strong expectation", and the price fluctuates due to the influence of news, with high uncertainty [16][18]. - The glass market is running stably, with inventory pressure decreasing but demand not significantly improved. The price adjustment space is limited, and it is expected to be weakly oscillating in the short term. The price of soda ash is oscillating, and in the long term, the price center may gradually rise, but the increase space is restricted due to the weak demand [20][21]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Price and Position Information: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3090 yuan/ton, down 39 yuan/ton (-1.24%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts increased by 7840 tons to 198,897 tons, and the position decreased by 92,457 lots to 1.05571 million lots. The Tianjin and Shanghai aggregated prices decreased by 20 yuan/ton. The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3346 yuan/ton, down 39 yuan/ton (-1.15%). The registered warehouse receipts remained unchanged at 24,760 tons, and the position increased by 387,729 lots to 1.166633 million lots. The Lechong and Shanghai aggregated prices decreased by 20 - 30 yuan/ton [3]. - Fundamentals: The production of rebar increased, demand improved slightly but remained weak overall, and inventory continued to accumulate. For hot - rolled coils, both supply and demand declined, and inventory continued to increase. The overall production of steel is high, and the demand is insufficient, putting strong pressure on steel prices [4]. Iron Ore - Price and Position Information: The closing price of the iron ore main contract (I2601) was 787.50 yuan/ton, with a change of -0.38% (-3.00), and the position increased by 1118 lots to 473,600 lots. The weighted position was 782,500 lots. The price of PB powder at Qingdao Port was 779 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 40.43 yuan/ton and a basis ratio of 4.88% [6]. - Fundamentals: The overseas iron ore shipping rhythm was stable. Australian shipping increased, Brazilian shipping decreased, and non - mainstream shipping decreased slightly. The near - end arrival volume decreased. The average daily hot metal production decreased, and the steel mill profitability continued to decline. Port inventory decreased slightly, and the steel mill's imported ore inventory decreased. The apparent demand of the five major steel products continued to rise, but the inventory accumulation rate did not slow down significantly. The supply pressure is not significant during the traditional shipping off - season of overseas mines, and attention should be paid to the future shipping progress. The price is expected to be weakly oscillating in the short term [7]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon - Price and Position Information: On August 29, the manganese silicon main contract (SM509) fell 0.86% to 5792 yuan/ton, and the Tianjin spot price was 5650 yuan/ton, with a premium of 48 yuan/ton over the futures. The ferrosilicon main contract (SF509) fell 1.03% to 5566 yuan/ton, and the Tianjin spot price was 5750 yuan/ton, with a premium of 184 yuan/ton over the futures. Last week, the prices of both showed a downward trend [9][10][11]. - Fundamentals and Trading Suggestions: The "anti - involution" sentiment in the market has subsided, and the prices are moving closer to the fundamentals. The continuous accumulation of inventory at the steel end makes the market worried about the demand in the peak season. The over - capacity pattern of manganese silicon has not changed, and production is still increasing. It is expected to remain weak before mid - October. The supply - demand of ferrosilicon has no obvious contradiction, and attention should be paid to downstream demand changes. For speculative trading, it is recommended to wait and see, and hedging funds can seize hedging opportunities [12][13]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - Price and Position Information: The closing price of the industrial silicon main contract (SI2511) was 8390 yuan/ton, down 2.10% (-180), and the position increased by 15,278 lots to 524,375 lots. The spot prices of different grades decreased. The closing price of the polysilicon main contract (PS2511) was 49,555 yuan/ton, down 0.22% (-110), and the position decreased by 535 lots to 320,807 lots. The spot prices of different types of polysilicon remained unchanged [15][17]. - Fundamentals and Price Expectations: The over - capacity, high inventory, and insufficient demand problems of industrial silicon have not changed. The supply pressure exceeds the demand support, and the price is expected to be weakly oscillating in the short term, with a range of 8100 - 9000 yuan/ton. Polysilicon continues the pattern of "weak reality, strong expectation", and the price fluctuates due to news, with high uncertainty. The price is expected to have fluctuations, and the support level is at 47,000 yuan/ton [16][18]. Glass and Soda Ash - Price and Inventory Information: The spot prices of glass in Shahe and Central China remained unchanged. As of August 28, 2025, the total inventory of national float glass sample enterprises was 62.566 million heavy boxes, a decrease of 1.63% month - on - month and 11.31% year - on - year, and the inventory days decreased by 0.5 days. The spot price of soda ash was 1180 yuan, down 25 yuan from the previous day. As of August 28, 2025, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 1.8675 million tons, a decrease of 1.09% [20][21]. - Price Expectations: The glass market is expected to be weakly oscillating in the short term, and the valuation should not be overly underestimated. In the long term, it follows the macro - sentiment, and the price may rise if there are substantial policies in the real estate sector. The price of soda ash is expected to oscillate in the short term, and the price center may gradually rise in the long term, but the increase space is restricted by weak demand [20][21].
