Ruida Futures(SZ:002961) Rui Da Qi Huo·2025-10-17 09:40Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Macroeconomic factors include Trump restarting the trade war with China, potential for precise macro - policies, support for energy - saving and carbon - reduction in the steel industry, and a predicted decline in domestic steel demand during the "15th Five - Year Plan" period. Overseas, short - term funds have shifted to US bonds and gold due to Trump's tariff threats, and the IMF expects the world economy to grow by 3.2% in 2025 [6]. - In terms of supply and demand, pre - holiday inventory has rebounded rapidly, production has slightly declined from a high level, and inventory has increased for three consecutive weeks. The port inventory of imported manganese ore has decreased by 2.1 tons, and iron water production is oscillating at a high level. Profits in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia are in the negative, and the mainstream steel procurement pricing is still under negotiation [6]. - Technically, the weekly K - line of the manganese - silicon main contract is below the 60 - day moving average, indicating a bearish trend. It is expected that after October, new production capacity in Inner Mongolia will increase, and the supply pressure will rise. With the national policy of reducing crude steel production, the alloy is likely to remain in a loss state. The manganese - silicon main contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 5650 - 5850 [6]. Summary by Directory 1.
