Report Industry Investment Ratings - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating [2] - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4] Core Views - The glass industry is in a stage of oversupply, and it is necessary to reduce prices, compress profits, and cut production to ease industry contradictions. Suggest paying attention to short - selling opportunities on rallies and subsequent changes in production lines on the supply side [1]. - The supply - demand contradiction of soda ash remains prominent, with increasing supply pressure and relatively stable demand. There is a large pressure for inventory reduction, and attention should be paid to changes in soda ash supply and downstream demand [1]. - The losses of silicomanganese enterprises are intensifying, and both production and operating rates have declined. The demand from downstream maintains resilience, and the price is expected to fluctuate with the sector. Future attention should be paid to changes in manganese ore cost support and regional policies [3]. - With the continuous compression of steel mill profits, the motivation for ferrosilicon production increase is insufficient. The downstream demand maintains resilience, the industry's supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and the price is expected to fluctuate with the sector. Follow - up attention should be paid to cost support, electricity price changes, and industrial policies [3]. Market Analysis Glass and Soda Ash - Glass: The glass futures market oscillated narrowly. Downstream procurement was cautious, mainly for rigid demand. This week, the operating rate of float glass enterprises was 76.35%, a 0.35% increase from the previous week, and the manufacturer's inventory was 64.276 million heavy boxes, a 2.39% increase from the previous week, showing obvious inventory accumulation [1]. - Soda Ash: The soda ash futures market oscillated. Downstream procurement was mainly for rigid replenishment. This week, the soda ash output was 740,500 tons, a 3.93% decrease from the previous week, and the inventory slightly increased to 1.7005 million tons [1]. Double Silicon - Silicomanganese: The main contract of silicomanganese futures first rose and then fell, closing at 5,754 yuan/ton, a 0.14% increase from the previous day. The final pricing of mainstream steel tenders was still under negotiation. The price in the northern market was 5,630 - 5,680 yuan/ton, and in the southern market was 5,650 - 5,700 yuan/ton [3]. - Ferrosilicon: The main contract of ferrosilicon futures oscillated upward, closing at 5,456 yuan/ton, a 1.94% increase from the previous day. The market sentiment was average, waiting for the standard set by Hebei Iron and Steel to guide the market. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon natural lumps in the main production areas was 5,100 - 5,200 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was 5,800 - 6,100 yuan/ton [3]. Strategies - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating [2] - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4] - Inter - period: None [2] - Inter - variety: None [2]
