Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided Core Viewpoints - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market was weak yesterday, and the prices of finished steel products continued to decline. Although the direct impact of the new round of tariff remarks by Trump on steel is limited, steel prices may still be under pressure. In the short term, the pattern of weak real demand for steel is difficult to reverse. It is necessary to focus on the policy intensity and direction before and after the Fourth Plenary Session [2][3]. - The price of iron ore fluctuates weakly. Although the short - term hot metal output is strong, the demand contradiction is mainly in the downstream. If the situation of finished products weakens after the holiday, the price of iron ore may be adjusted accordingly. The overall terminal demand is weak, and there are continuous macro - disturbances [5]. - For the black sector, it is not pessimistic. It is considered that the cost - performance of finding callback positions to do long may be higher than short - selling. The price may first decline to release the bearish sentiment and then rise with the expectations of the Fourth Plenary Session. The key time node may be around the Fourth Plenary Session in mid - October [8]. - The price of industrial silicon may rise in the long - term. After the southwest region enters the dry season, the supply pressure will be reduced, and the cost support will be enhanced. The price of silicon materials is in the process of technical correction, and the supply - demand pattern may improve after November [13][15]. - The glass market is weak. The demand is less than expected, and the inventory is increasing. The soda ash market is expected to continue to operate weakly in the short - term due to inventory accumulation and a slight decline in the start - up rate [18][20].

Strategy Viewpoints - In terms of supply, the overseas iron ore shipments decreased seasonally. In terms of demand, the daily hot - metal output decreased slightly, and the profitability of steel mills continued to decline. The inventory of steel products during the holiday was not low, and the destocking after the holiday was under test. The price of iron ore fluctuated weakly due to weak terminal demand and continuous macro - disturbances [5]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Information - The main contract of manganese silicon (SM601) closed at 5738 yuan/ton, down 0.14%.

Strategy Viewpoints - The fundamentals of manganese silicon were not ideal, but the port inventory of manganese ore was low, and the price was relatively strong.

The price may first decline and then rise with the expectations of the Fourth Plenary Session [8][9].
