Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - The report maintains a non - pessimistic view on the black sector. It is believed that finding callback positions to do rebounds may have higher cost - effectiveness than short - selling. The black sector's downward momentum has significantly weakened after nearly four years of decline. Overseas will face a situation of both fiscal and monetary easing, and China still has sufficient fiscal space and potential demand - supporting policies. [10] Summary by Category Steel Products Market Information - Rebar: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3106 yuan/ton, down 27 yuan/ton (-0.86%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts were 124,240 tons, a decrease of 300 tons from the previous day. The main contract's open interest was 1.894916 million lots, an increase of 909 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated price in Tianjin was 3200 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton, and in Shanghai, it was 3230 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton. [1] - Hot - rolled coil: The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3318 yuan/ton, down 27 yuan/ton (-0.80%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts were 98,835 tons, a decrease of 5938 tons. The main contract's open interest was 1.473286 million lots, an increase of 12,227 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated price in Lecong was 3340 yuan/ton, unchanged, and in Shanghai, it was 3330 yuan/ton, down 30 yuan/ton. [1] Strategy Viewpoints - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market was good yesterday, and the prices of finished products showed a volatile trend. Macroscopically, on October 30, Fed Chairman Powell indicated a shift towards a "loose" monetary policy, and the Sino - US summit released positive signals. Fundamentally, rebar's supply and demand both increased, and inventory continued to decline; the demand for hot - rolled coils continued to recover, but production was still high, and inventory, although decreasing, remained at a relatively high level. In the future, steel consumption may gradually recover, and short - term demand is expected to turn around with policy implementation and macro - environment changes. [2] Iron Ore Market Information - The main contract (I2601) closed at 802.50 yuan/ton, with a change of -0.25% (-2.00). The open interest increased by 8698 lots to 551,500 lots. The weighted open interest was 930,000 lots. The spot price of PB fines at Qingdao Port was 805 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 54.06 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 6.31%. [4] Strategy Viewpoints - Supply: The latest overseas iron ore shipments continued to increase and were at a high level. Australia's shipments were flat, Brazil's increased, and non - mainstream countries' shipments decreased slightly. The near - term arrivals were at a low level due to previous high arrivals. Demand: The average daily hot - metal output decreased by 3.54 tons to 236.36 tons, and the number of blast furnaces under maintenance far exceeded those being restarted. The steel mill profitability rate reached a new low, and some blast furnaces were shut down for maintenance. Overall, the iron ore demand weakened, and inventory pressure remained. After the macro - events were realized, the fundamentals were weak, and there was a risk of a phased decline in ore prices. [5] Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Information - Manganese silicon: The main contract (SM601) closed down 0.17% at 5842 yuan/ton. The spot price in Tianjin was 5720 yuan/ton, equivalent to 5910 yuan/ton on the futures basis, with a premium of 68 yuan/ton. The price was in the range of 5600 - 6000 yuan/ton and was approaching the downward trend line since July. [8] - Ferrosilicon: The main contract (SF601) closed down 0.79% at 5550 yuan/ton. The spot price in Tianjin was 5630 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a premium of 80 yuan/ton. The price was in the range of 5400 - 5800 yuan/ton, and it faced pressure after touching the downward trend line since July. [8] Strategy Viewpoints - Important meetings had positive statements but no unexpected content. The black - sector fundamentals were worried about high supply and low demand, and there was a risk of "negative feedback" if steel mill profitability further declined. The report was not pessimistic about the black - sector's future and believed that buying on dips for rebounds was more cost - effective. Manganese silicon's fundamentals were poor, and potential drivers might come from the manganese ore end. Ferrosilicon's supply - demand fundamentals had no obvious contradictions and was likely to follow the black - sector trend. [9][10] Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Information - Industrial silicon: The main contract (SI2601) closed at 9155 yuan/ton, down 0.16% (-15). The open interest decreased by 8091 lots to 424,602 lots. The spot price of 553 in East China was 9300 yuan/ton, unchanged, and the basis was 145 yuan/ton; the price of 421 was 9700 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton, and the basis was - 255 yuan/ton. [12] - Polysilicon: The main contract (PS2601) closed at 54,950 yuan/ton, down 0.07% (-40). The open interest decreased by 1181 lots to 248,933 lots. Spot prices were mostly stable, and the main contract basis was - 2650 yuan/ton. There was news that domestic photovoltaic leading enterprises planned a joint stockpiling. [15] Strategy Viewpoints - Industrial silicon: Supply pressure persisted, with production increasing in the northwest and a potential decline in the southwest during the dry season. Demand support weakened as polysilicon plants were about to enter maintenance and the organic silicon DMC operating rate decreased. Cost factors provided some support, and short - term prices were expected to fluctuate with market sentiment. [13][14] - Polysilicon: Supply pressure might ease marginally as some plants enter maintenance. Downstream operating rates were expected to be stable, and the supply - demand pattern might improve, but short - term de - stocking was limited. Policy expectations had a strong impact on prices, and market speculation was intense. Attention should be paid to the actual implementation of policies and platform - company progress. [16] Glass and Soda Ash Market Information - Glass: The main contract closed at 1091 yuan/ton, down 3.19% (-36). The spot prices in North China and Central China were unchanged. The weekly inventory of float - glass sample enterprises decreased by 823,000 cases (-1.24%) to 65.79 million cases. The top 20 long - position holders increased their positions by 88,841 lots, and the top 20 short - position holders increased by 163,567 lots. [18] - Soda ash: The main contract closed at 1235 yuan/ton, down 1.91% (-24). The spot price in Shahe decreased by 24 yuan. The weekly inventory of soda - ash sample enterprises decreased by 10,000 tons (-1.24%) to 1.702 million tons, with heavy - soda inventory decreasing and light - soda inventory increasing. The top 20 long - position holders reduced their positions by 18,196 lots, and the top 20 short - position holders increased by 7845 lots. [20] Strategy Viewpoints - Glass: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's meeting did not give clear guidance, and the "anti - involution" expectation was dashed, leading to a sharp increase in short positions and a decline in the price. Supply was abundant, inventory was accumulating, demand recovery was slow, and the price was expected to remain weak. Attention should be paid to the operation of production lines in Shahe. [19] - Soda ash: Affected by the weak glass market, the price was under pressure. Rising coal prices increased production costs, providing some support. However, the de - stocking process was slow, and inventory was higher than usual. The price was expected to fluctuate narrowly in the short term, and attention should be paid to plant operating rates and downstream purchase rhythms. [21]
