Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given reports. Core Views of the Report - The core logic of the domestic market is that after the escalation of Sino-US trade frictions last week, the asset reaction this week was weaker than in April. A-shares showed a "high-low switch" feature. Before the APEC meeting, the market was still affected by friction news. Although both sides were likely to negotiate cautiously, an unexpected escalation could trigger risks. Commodity prices were unlikely to show a trend upward. Overseas, the US government shutdown led to a data vacuum, and market concerns about the economy eased but risks remained. The Fed was expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in October, but the actual impact might be limited due to market pre-pricing [2]. - The RMB exchange rate was expected to remain basically stable within a reasonable range under the policy tone of "stability first", especially before the important meeting at the end of October [4]. - Stock index fluctuations were expected to intensify, but there was support below. The market was likely to be dominated by large-cap stock indices [7]. - Treasury bonds needed to focus on whether risk sentiment would recover. If risk sentiment recovered and the stock market rebounded, the bond market might not rise further. But before the Sino-US negotiation results were finalized, it was generally favorable for the bond market [9]. - The container shipping index (European line) futures were expected to continue to fluctuate widely in the short term. The main contract EC2512 was expected to be supported at 1600 points and resisted near 1750 points [11]. - Precious metals were recommended to be cautious in the short term and bullish in the medium term [16]. - Copper prices were expected to be in a high-level consolidation if the bullish factors did not ferment. For downstream enterprises, a combination strategy of "selling put options + buying futures at low prices" was recommended [19]. - Aluminum was expected to fluctuate at a high level; alumina was expected to run weakly; cast aluminum alloy was expected to fluctuate at a high level [21]. - Zinc was expected to fluctuate mainly, with the long and short sides still unclear [22]. - Nickel and stainless steel were expected to fluctuate repeatedly due to prominent inventory accumulation [24]. - Tin was expected to fluctuate narrowly. From a fundamental perspective, the supply was weaker than the demand, and it was still regarded as a long position [25]. - Lead was expected to fluctuate narrowly, with limited upside space [26]. - Steel prices might rebound slightly, but the rebound height was limited due to the weak fundamentals of steel, and the possibility of subsequent decline was relatively large [28]. - Iron ore prices were under short-term pressure, and the focus of the market in the next two weeks might be on the Fourth Plenary Session and possible Sino-US talks [30]. - Coking coal and coke were expected to be treated with a volatile mindset, with coking coal in the range of (1100, 1350) and coke in the range of (1600, 1850) [32]. - Ferrosilicon and ferromanganese were under pressure due to high inventory and weak downstream demand. If there were no unexpected stimulus policies, their prices would still be under pressure [33]. - Crude oil was expected to face downward risks in the short and medium term, with the support at $60 being crucial [37]. - LPG was relatively strong in the domestic market due to restricted arrivals, but the overall situation was still affected by the weak fundamentals of crude oil [39]. - PTA-PX was recommended to be observed in the short term, paying attention to domestic and foreign macro nodes [40]. - MEG was expected to fluctuate widely in the short term, following the macro sentiment. If there was an oversell, selling put options could be considered [46]. - Methanol was expected to fluctuate under pressure, with the price range maintaining at 2250 - 2350 [47]. - PP was under pressure due to the supply-demand imbalance and macro factors.

The price was limited by high inventory but supported by cost [66]. - Glass was under pressure due to high inventory and weak demand. Attention should be paid to industrial policies [67]. - Caustic soda was expected to wait for the spot to bottom out to stimulate speculative demand.

Commodities Precious Metals - Precious metals were recommended to be cautious in the short term and bullish in the medium term. Silver was affected by spot shortages and short squeeze pressure, and the "232 investigation" on silver and palladium in the US also had an impact.

Attention should be paid to Sino-US tariff issues and the expectation of interest rate cuts [23][24]. Tin - Tin was expected to fluctuate narrowly. From a fundamental perspective, the supply was weaker than the demand, and it was still regarded as a long position. The support was expected to be around 276,000 yuan [25]. Lead - Lead was expected to fluctuate narrowly, with limited upside space. The supply was affected by silver prices and raw material restrictions, and the demand was affected by domestic consumption and export demand. Attention should be paid to inventory changes [26]. Black Metals - Steel prices might rebound slightly, but the rebound height was limited due to the weak fundamentals of steel, and the possibility of subsequent decline was relatively large. Iron ore prices were under short-term pressure, and the focus of the market in the next two weeks might be on the Fourth Plenary Session and possible Sino-US talks. Coking coal and coke were expected to be treated with a volatile mindset, with coking coal in the range of (1100, 1350) and coke in the range of (1600, 1850). Ferrosilicon and ferromanganese were under pressure due to high inventory and weak downstream demand. If there were no unexpected stimulus policies, their prices would still be under pressure [28][30][32]. Energy and Chemicals - Crude oil was expected to face downward risks in the short and medium term, with the support at $60 being crucial. LPG was relatively strong in the domestic market due to restricted arrivals, but the overall situation was still affected by the weak fundamentals of crude oil.

If there was an oversell, selling put options could be considered. Methanol was expected to fluctuate under pressure, with the price range maintaining at 2250 - 2350. PP and PE were under pressure due to the supply - demand imbalance and macro factors. Attention should be paid to macro trends and cost fluctuations. Pure benzene and styrene were mainly affected by macro factors. Short - term observation was recommended until the macro situation became clear. Fuel oil's cracking upside space was limited. Low - sulfur fuel oil's cracking was expected to remain at a low level, with limited upward drive. Asphalt was expected to decline weakly. Short - term observation was recommended, paying attention to whether there were new demand growth points in the domestic macro meeting [36][37][39]. Rubber and 20 Rubber - Rubber and 20 rubber were expected to fluctuate weakly. The supply was affected by weather and inventory, and the demand was affected by factors such as tire sales, export, and automobile inventory. RU2601 was expected to fluctuate in the range of 14600 - 15300, and NR2511 in the range of 12000 - 12500 [63][64]. Urea - Urea was expected to fluctuate under pressure. The demand was weak, and the inventory increased. Attention should be paid to new export quotas and macro sentiment [65]. Glass, Soda Ash, and Caustic Soda - Soda ash was expected to be volatile due to the increase in supply pressure and inventory. The price was limited by high inventory but supported by cost. Glass was under pressure due to high inventory and weak demand. Attention should be paid to industrial policies. Caustic soda was expected to wait for the spot to bottom out to stimulate speculative demand. The long - term production pressure continued [66][67][69]. Pulp and Offset Paper - Pulp was expected to continue the oscillatory pattern, and offset paper was still under pressure. Pulp was affected by high inventory and cost support, and offset paper was affected by supply - demand mismatch [70].
