It is expected that iron production may be reduced in November [54]. - Investment advice: It is expected that iron production will remain at 2.4 million tons in October and may be reduced in November. The raw material market is weak, and when the downward trend will start needs further observation [55]. 3.2.11 Non - ferrous Metals (Lead) - On October 14, the LME 0 - 3 lead was at a discount of $44.48 per ton. The Shanghai lead price oscillated upward yesterday, mainly driven by the rebound of the external market. The LME inventory increased, and the domestic social inventory decreased. The Shanghai lead price may oscillate upward in the short term [56]. - Investment advice: For unilateral trading, take profit on previous long positions in a timely manner. For arbitrage, pay attention to positive spreads for the month - spread and short - term internal - external reverse spreads [56]. 3.2.12 Non - ferrous Metals (Zinc) - On October 14, the LME 0 - 3 zinc was at a premium of $87.22 per ton.

The production of polysilicon in October is expected to increase. The demand for battery cells still has support in October. The component price may rise, but the terminal demand may decline [60][61]. - Investment advice: The progress of platform companies is slower than expected, but it may be too early to say they have failed. It is expected that the spot price will not fall in October. Consider going long lightly on the PS2512 contract when it is at a discount to the spot.

Pay attention to geopolitical conflicts [80]. 3.2.20 Energy and Chemicals (Styrene) - The inventory of styrene in the East China main port has decreased slightly. The non - integrated load of styrene has decreased, and the demand has resilience. However, the inventory level is still high compared with the historical average, and the upward driving force of styrene is limited [81][82]. - Investment advice: The driving force of the pure - benzene - styrene industrial chain is weak, and it will be under pressure before the oil end provides support [83]. 3.2.21 Energy and Chemicals (Methanol) - The methanol port inventory has decreased slightly. The decrease in inventory is mainly due to the suppression of imports caused by factors such as port policies. The market expects that the issues related to Iranian goods and US ships can be resolved, but the import cost will increase [84][85]. - Investment advice: Wait and see as the probability of the futures price falling further in the short term is low [86]. 3.2.22 Energy and Chemicals (Caustic Soda) - The price of liquid caustic soda in Shandong is flexibly adjusted. The supply has decreased due to equipment maintenance and power - related issues, and the demand has changed little. The price shows a differentiated trend [87][88]. - Investment advice: The spot price of caustic soda in Shandong is weakening, and it is necessary to be cautious when bottom - fishing [88]. 3.2.23 Energy and Chemicals (PX) - The PX price has rebounded.

The price is expected to remain weakly oscillating, and the downside space is limited [93]. 3.2.25 Energy and Chemicals (Pulp) - The price of imported wood pulp in the spot market is mainly stable, with individual prices slightly increasing. The futures price of pulp is oscillating. The supply and demand of pulp are not good, and the upward space of the futures price is limited [94]. - Investment advice: The pulp futures price is relatively strong recently, but considering the poor supply - demand situation, the upward space is limited [95]. 3.2.26 Energy and Chemicals (PTA) - The PTA spot price has decreased, and the spot basis is weak. The downstream polyester inventory is healthy, and the short - term probability of significant production reduction is low. The supply - demand contradiction of PTA is not large, and the short - term driving force is insufficient. The oil price is the main source of price fluctuations [96]. - Investment advice: The PTA price will oscillate weakly in the short term [97]. 3.2.27 Energy and Chemicals (Bottle Chips) - The export quotation of bottle - chip factories continues to decrease. The polyester raw material price has fallen, and the bottle - chip factories have lowered their quotations. The supply - demand contradiction of bottle chips is not prominent at present, but it may accumulate in the fourth quarter [98][99]. - Investment advice: Pay attention to when the factories will resume production.
