Group 1: Rubber Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The fundamentals of natural rubber have changed little. The upstream cost side still provides support, while downstream users are resistant to high - priced raw materials. The reference range for the 01 contract is 15,000 - 16,500. Future focus should be on raw material output during the peak production season in the main producing areas and whether the La Nina phenomenon affects the supply. If raw material supply is smooth, consider shorting at high prices; if supply is restricted, rubber prices are expected to remain high [1]. Summary by Directory - Spot Price and Basis: On September 12, the price of Yunnan Guofu standard rubber (SCRWF) in Shanghai was 14,950 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan or 0.34% from the previous day.

The inbound rate of dry rubber in the bonded warehouse in Qingdao was 5.03%, up 0.95 percentage points; the outbound rate was 5.98%, up 1.79 percentage points [1]. Group 2: Polysilicon Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View In the short term, the market is more focused on the expectation of policy implementation in September, and the futures market is prone to rise and difficult to fall. Fundamentally, in September, although there is production reduction on the supply side, there are also factory resumptions to make up for the supply, so the overall supply reduction is not obvious. On the demand side, the polysilicon wafer production schedule has increased slightly month - on - month. There may be a slight inventory accumulation pattern in September. The price increase of polysilicon has been gradually accepted by downstream users, and the spot transmission mechanism is relatively smooth. In the future, the market pays less attention to fundamentals and more to policy expectations, with high price volatility risk. It is recommended to pay attention to the self - discipline meeting of polysilicon enterprises next week [2]. Summary by Directory - Spot Price and Basis: On September 12, the average price of N - type re - feedstock was 51,550 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the average price of N - type granular silicon was 48,500 yuan/ton, unchanged.

The polysilicon contract volume was 7820 (unit not clear), up 130 or 1.69% [2]. Group 3: Industrial Silicon Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View From the cost side, raw material prices are rising. In September, the prices of Xinjiang caking coal and charcoal have increased significantly, with monthly increases of 400 yuan/ton and 200 yuan/ton respectively. The electricity price in the southwest region will gradually rise during the dry season, and the cost center of industrial silicon will move up in the future. Although the current production of industrial silicon has increased month - on - month, there are also news of capacity clearance, and small furnaces may be shut down. The cost side of industrial silicon provides strong support. Considering the possible impact of the polysilicon enterprise self - discipline meeting next week and the expected increase in downstream inventory replenishment demand before the National Day, industrial silicon prices may rise slightly. It is recommended to try long positions at low prices. However, it should be noted that with the increase in production, inventory and warehouse receipt pressure are emerging. The main price fluctuation range is expected to be between 8000 - 9500 yuan/ton [3]. Summary by Directory - Spot Price and Main Contract Basis: On September 12, the price of East China oxygen - passing S15530 industrial silicon was 9200 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the basis (based on oxygen - passing SI5530) was - 5 yuan, down 5 yuan or - 1.09%.

Group 4: Log Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The current log market presents an oscillating pattern of "weak supply and demand, stable prices, and slightly decreasing inventory". The core contradiction in the market lies in the game between weak demand and fluctuating supply. Prices are temporarily stable under cost support. Future attention should be paid to whether the shipment volume improves significantly during the seasonal peak season. Currently, new registered warehouse receipts have been added to the 09 contract, and buyers' willingness to take delivery is poor, increasing pressure on the spot market. The spot market is weakening, and traders' enthusiasm for imports is decreasing. The arrival volume remains low, and the total inventory is low, with continuous inventory reduction for several weeks to below 3 million tons. Demand remains above 60,000 cubic meters, showing no obvious improvement trend. Currently, the valuation of the futures market below 800 is at a discount. Considering the peak - season expectations, it is recommended to go long at low prices [4]. Summary by Directory - Futures and Spot Prices: On September 12, the price of log 2509 was 763.0 yuan/cubic meter, down 3.5 yuan or - 0.46%; the price of log 2511 was 798.0 yuan/cubic meter, down 6.5 yuan or - 0.81%; the price of log 2601 was 819 yuan/cubic meter, down 35.0 yuan. The 9 - 11 spread was - 38.0 yuan/cubic meter; the 9 - 1 spread was 3.5 yuan/cubic meter. The basis of the 09 contract was - 13.0 yuan/cubic meter; the basis of the 11 contract was - 54.5 yuan/cubic meter; the basis of the 01 contract was - 62.5 yuan/cubic meter. The price of 3.9A small radiata pine at Rizhao Port was 710.0 yuan/cubic meter, unchanged; the price of 3.9A medium radiata pine was 750 yuan/cubic meter, unchanged; the price of 3.9A large radiata pine was 850 yuan/cubic meter, unchanged.

Group 5: Glass and Soda Ash Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View Soda Ash The futures market has been oscillating narrowly recently, lacking a main trading logic. The fundamental oversupply problem still exists. Although inventory did not accumulate this week, it has actually been transferred to the middle and lower reaches, and trade inventory continues to rise. The previously reduced production units have resumed, and the weekly production has returned to the high level of 750,000 tons. In the medium term, there is no expectation of a significant increase in downstream production capacity, so the overall demand for soda ash will continue the previous rigid - demand pattern. After the traditional summer maintenance season in the soda ash industry, supply is at a high level. Without actual capacity withdrawal or production reduction, inventory will face further pressure. Track the implementation of policies and the production adjustment of soda ash plants. The overall supply - demand pattern is bearish, and it is advisable to short on rallies [5]. Glass The spot market had good transactions last week, and inventory decreased. At the beginning of the week, news about the conversion of coal - fired gas production lines to clean energy in the Shahe area triggered a rise in the futures market. The specific conversion time of the production lines is undetermined, and the expected shutdown time is limited. There are still some plans for复产 and ignition in the future. Currently, the inventory of manufacturers in the Shahe area is gradually increasing, and the inventory in the middle reaches has not decreased significantly. In terms of industry supply - demand
