  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints - Expectations are driving the black sector to perform stronger, and ferroalloys will continue to follow the fluctuations of the black sector [1][77][93] - In the short - term, affected by real - demand factors, the black sector may face a downward correction risk after the National Day holiday. However, considering the subsequent overseas fiscal and monetary easing, and China's policy space expansion, the black sector may gradually become more cost - effective for long - positions, and the key time point may be around the "Fourth Plenary Session" in mid - October [15][93] - Manganese silicon's fundamentals are not ideal due to high supply and weak demand in the building materials sector. It may follow the black sector's trend and is unlikely to have an independent strong market without sudden disturbances from the manganese ore end [15] - Silicon iron's supply - demand fundamentals have no obvious contradictions and drivers, and it will also likely follow the black sector's trend with a relatively low operational cost - effectiveness [93] 3.
