Report Industry Investment Ratings No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the content. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, the federal government shutdown has disrupted official economic data, leading to average market demand and rising US bond yields. The weakening yen has strengthened the US dollar, cooling global risk appetite. The first - stage cease - fire in Gaza has reduced global risk - aversion. Domestically, poor US economic data during the National Day holiday has increased expectations of a Fed rate cut, causing global stock markets to rise. The central bank's large - scale MLF renewal has ensured market liquidity, and the introduction of multiple industry growth - stabilizing plans has increased policy support, potentially boosting domestic risk appetite. The short - term macro - upward drive has strengthened, and future focus should be on Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policies [3][4]. - Different asset classes have different trends: stocks are expected to oscillate strongly at a high level in the short term; bonds will oscillate; among commodities, black metals will oscillate, non - ferrous metals will oscillate strongly, energy and chemicals will oscillate, and precious metals will oscillate strongly at a high level [3]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro - Overseas: The federal government shutdown has disrupted economic data, resulting in average demand and rising US bond yields. The weakening yen has strengthened the US dollar, cooling global risk appetite. The Gaza cease - fire has reduced risk - aversion [3]. - Domestic: Poor US economic data during the National Day holiday has increased Fed rate - cut expectations, leading to a rise in global stock markets. The central bank's MLF renewal has ensured liquidity, and industry growth - stabilizing plans have increased policy support, potentially boosting domestic risk appetite [3][4]. Stock Index - Driven by sectors such as precious metals, industrial metals, and rare earths, the domestic stock market has risen significantly. Supported by factors like US economic data and domestic policies, the short - term macro - upward drive has strengthened. Short - term cautious buying is recommended [4]. Black Metals Steel - On Thursday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets rebounded slightly, with low trading volumes. The rise of overseas non - ferrous and precious metals during the holiday has boosted market risk appetite. However, real demand is weak, with a 127 - million - ton increase in the inventory of five major steel products during the holiday, exceeding the five - year average. After late October, demand may further weaken. Supply is expected to remain high as steel mills' profits are still acceptable, and the logic of compressing steel mill profits will continue. The steel market is likely to oscillate within a range [5]. Iron Ore - On Thursday, iron ore futures and spot prices continued to strengthen. The news of long - term contract negotiations has increased expectations of supply contraction. Ore demand remains strong as the daily average pig iron output is above 2.4 million tons. During the holiday, global iron ore shipments decreased by 1.96 million tons, while arrivals increased by 2.482 million tons, and port inventories increased by 1.69 million tons. Although the market's expectation of negative feedback in the industrial chain has increased, the short - term probability of actual negative feedback is low as the proportion of profitable steel mills is over 56%. Iron ore prices will oscillate within a range after the holiday, with negative feedback risks from late October to November [6][7]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy Copper - LME copper has broken through and risen due to concerns about tight global copper supply. An accident at the Grasberg mine has affected production by 270,000 tons, with a plan to resume production in mid - 2026 and fully recover in 2027. Domestic electrolytic copper production remains high, with a 11.62% year - on - year increase in September, but demand is facing challenges as previous demand - boosting factors weaken. Copper de - stocking has not met expectations, and the US economic situation needs to be monitored [8]. Aluminum - It was previously expected that SHFE aluminum would stabilize and oscillate within a 200 - 300 - point range, which has basically come true. During the holiday, the rise in copper prices has boosted aluminum prices, but on Thursday, SHFE aluminum underperformed, and the domestic - foreign price difference has decreased significantly. Domestic aluminum social inventories have accumulated during the holiday, exceeding expectations. With rigid supply and weakening demand, it is difficult for prices to rise significantly [8][9]. Tin - LME tin has soared due to the rise in copper prices and Indonesia's crackdown on illegal tin mining, but the upward space is limited. The price is supported by tight ore supply and low smelting operating rates due to maintenance at a large Yunnan smelter. However, smelters are expected to resume production in October, and ore supply will increase after November. Prices are expected to remain high in the short term but face upward pressure [9]. Carbonate Lithium - On Thursday, the main carbonate lithium 2511 contract rose 0.27%, with a settlement price of 73,700 yuan/ton. The weighted contract increased positions by 1,559 lots, with a total position of 677,900 lots. The supply and demand of carbonate lithium are both increasing, with strong seasonal demand, a slight reduction in social inventory, and a transfer of smelter inventory to downstream. The market is expected to oscillate, and the upper pressure range should be monitored [10]. Industrial Silicon - On Thursday, the main industrial silicon 2511 contract fell 0.29%, with a settlement price of 8,645 yuan/ton. The weighted contract increased positions by 8,057 lots, with a total position of 407,800 lots. The 2511 contract faces the pressure of digesting warehouse receipts at the end of November. The market is expected to oscillate, and the cash - flow cost support of large enterprises should be monitored [10]. Polysilicon - On Thursday, the main polysilicon 2511 contract had a 0% increase, with a settlement price of 50,185 yuan/ton. The weighted contract increased positions by 7,663 lots, with a total position of 234,000 lots. The number of warehouse receipts is increasing, and there will be concentrated cancellations in November. With high supply and low demand, the market is waiting for the implementation of state - reserve purchase news, and the support of spot prices should be monitored [11]. Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - After Israel reached an agreement with Hamas on hostage release and implemented a cease - fire, crude oil prices have declined as OPEC+ increases supply and demand lacks new positive signals. The strengthening of the US dollar has also reduced the attractiveness of dollar - denominated commodities [12]. Asphalt - As crude oil prices decline again, asphalt shows signs of breaking through the lower limit. The peak - season demand is almost over, and the pressure of over - supply remains. The basis is still falling, and there is some pressure for social inventory accumulation, while factory inventory is slightly increasing. The profit has recovered recently, and the operating rate has increased significantly. The impact of OPEC+ production increase on crude oil prices and the support of crude oil prices should be monitored [12][13]. PX - The change in PX is limited. The previous changes in Xinjiang's facilities have little impact on the market. The cost support from crude oil remains, but the small positive impact of increased maintenance plans has been mostly priced in. The PXN spread has decreased to $218, and the external PX price has fallen to $804. PTA's short - term processing fee has been squeezed, and PX remains in a tight supply situation. With the decline of the polyester market, PX may oscillate weakly but has some support at the bottom [13]. PTA - The peak - season demand is lower than expected, with low terminal orders and low operating rates of looms. The rumor of production cuts by leading PTA manufacturers has been disproven, and there is a risk of inventory accumulation. There is also a possibility that the restart of maintenance facilities will be postponed. The market has some support at the previous low but faces long - term downward pressure [13]. Ethylene Glycol - The price of ethylene glycol continues to decline and oscillates at a low level. Similar to PTA, it faces challenges in downstream demand, with high short - term operating rates and new production capacity pressure. Although the current inventory is low, there is a risk of inventory accumulation, and the upward space for price rebound is limited in the medium term [13]. LLDPE - The polyethylene market price has adjusted. The LLDPE transaction price is 7,050 - 7,600 yuan/ton, with prices in the North and East regions falling. Supply is increasing, and the demand is in the peak season, but the post - holiday inventory accumulation suppresses prices. With new capacity coming on - line, the transition to the off - season, and the decline of crude oil prices, the price of PE is expected to decline [14]. Urea - The urea market is weakly declining. The supply - demand situation is under pressure. During the National Day holiday, most factories maintained stable prices, fulfilling previous orders. After the holiday, production is expected to remain above 190,000 tons per day. The agricultural demand recovery is slow due to rainfall, and industrial demand is weak. Although there is potential support from reserve demand and Indian tenders, the overall support is limited. The price may decline slightly in the short term, and the export policy after the holiday should be monitored [14][15]. Methanol - The methanol market in Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia has acceptable trading. The price in Inner Mongolia's northern line has decreased by 10 - 15 yuan/ton, and the southern line is stable. In Jiangsu, the methanol market has declined, and the basis has strengthened. After the holiday, methanol inventory has accumulated, and the high port inventory suppresses prices. There is no effective way to reduce inventory in the short term, but it is expected to oscillate weakly with support from domestic and foreign gas - restriction expectations. Opportunities for long - term long positions should be awaited [14]. PP - The market trading atmosphere is good, with the mainstream price of East China's drawn wire at 6,650 - 6,750 yuan/ton. The inventory of Sinopec and PetroChina's polyolefins has increased by 270,000 tons. With increasing supply pressure, average downstream demand, and increasing inventory pressure, combined with the weakening of crude oil prices, the price of PP is expected to decline [14]. Agricultural Products US Soybeans - The prospects of Sino - US soybean trade and the MFP program will be the main focus of the oil - and - oilseed market. After the holiday, the market may re - evaluate the possibility of China resuming US soybean imports. If a phased arrangement is reached in the coming weeks, the possibility of resuming trade will increase. The implementation of the MFP program will reduce farmers' holding costs and relieve the pressure of grain sales and storage, which is positive for CBOT soybeans [16]. Hogs - After the holiday, the demand for hogs will weaken, and the supply - demand pressure remains high. Attention should be paid to farmers' reluctance to sell at low prices, local pork purchase - and - storage dynamics, and the rhythm of passive production reduction [17]. Soybean and Rapeseed Meal - The expected supply - demand gap of domestic soybeans in the first quarter of next year will shrink, which is negative for soybean meal. In the short term, the phased replenishment of soybean meal may increase, and the cost support for near - month soybean meal will strengthen as the pressure of concentrated US soybean listing eases. The spread between near - and far - month contracts may widen. For rapeseed meal, the seasonal impact on imported rapeseed meal has significantly shrunk, and domestic rapeseed inventory is running out. Before the arrival of Australian rapeseed, the supply - demand of rapeseed meal is weak, and its market is mainly led by soybean meal [18]. Oils - Oils may oscillate strongly, with the order of strength being rapeseed oil > palm oil > soybean oil. Rapeseed oil inventory will be depleted rapidly before the arrival of Australian rapeseed, providing support. Palm oil is mainly driven by cost, with low inventory in the producing areas, stable crude oil prices, and strong related oils providing additional support. Soybean oil may experience seasonal inventory accumulation after the holiday and may perform relatively weakly [18]. Corn - The room for the price decline of new corn in the Northeast after the holiday may be limited. The increase in corn prices in Shandong provides support, as deep - processing enterprises unexpectedly raised prices during the holiday, and the demand for acquisition has increased. More acquisition entities will enter the market after the holiday. In addition, the rapid rebound of wheat prices in October will also support the corn market [18].
