Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - From an economic data perspective, the GDP growth rate in the third quarter declined as expected, but the pressure to achieve the annual target is controllable. The GDP deflator is showing a recovery trend, and its sustainability is worth attention. In September, the economy showed a structural differentiation feature of strong production and weak domestic demand, with both consumption and investment growth rates being weak, highlighting the necessity of policy support. Currently, fiscal policy has clearly taken effect, and the subsequent rhythm of domestic demand repair is crucial. After the release of the communiqué of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, the stock market responded positively. Combining historical patterns, the stock index may perform [1]. - Affected by the end of the China - US negotiations, the results of the China - US summit may fall short of market expectations. The exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB quickly rose around 1 o'clock. At the same time, the Bank of Japan's interest - rate meeting maintained the interest rate unchanged as expected, and the weakening of the yen pushed the US dollar index relatively stronger, further dragging down the RMB against the US dollar exchange rate. In the future, attention should be paid to the US employment and inflation situation under the background of the government shutdown, as well as the enterprise's willingness to settle foreign exchange [2]. - The Fed's October interest - rate decision was implemented, with a 25bp cut as expected and the end of balance - sheet reduction in December announced. However, Powell's subsequent speech was hawkish, saying that a December interest - rate cut was not a certainty, which cooled the interest - rate cut expectation. The market repriced the Fed's subsequent interest - rate cut path. Affected by this, the A - share market was under pressure yesterday, and the stock index opened lower and closed down. However, it is believed that the market will quickly digest the change in the interest - rate cut expectation in the short term, and the stock index is expected to strengthen again after fully digesting the interest - rate cut expectation difference [5]. - The container shipping index (European line) futures are expected to maintain a high - level shock in the short term. The policy benefits from China and the US and the weakness of the spot market are in a tug - of - war, and the game in the range of 1800 - 1900 points intensifies [10]. - Although in the medium - to - long - term dimension, central bank gold purchases and the growth of investment demand (monetary easing prospects and periodic safe - haven trading) will still push up the price center of precious metals, in the short term, it has entered an adjustment stage. Attention should be paid to the opportunity to make up for long positions at a low level in the medium term, and the previous long - position bottom positions should continue to be held cautiously [14]. - After the release of the Fed's interest - rate decision, the copper market experienced a decline in both volume and price. At this time, the spot premium showed a trend of bottoming out and rebounding, but the increase was limited. It is believed that in the short term, both the long and short factors at the macro level have been digested. If the spot market trading volume does not increase, the futures price will still maintain a high - level shock [16]. - For aluminum, the domestic fundamentals remain stable, and there are disturbances on the overseas supply side. Overall, after the tariff negotiation, the night - session price of Shanghai aluminum rose, but with the successive implementation of macro events, the market is temporarily in a news vacuum, waiting for the next driver, and Shanghai aluminum will maintain a high - level shock in the short term. For alumina, it is still in an oversupply situation, and it is mainly bearish before large - scale production cuts occur, but the downward space is limited at the current price. For cast aluminum alloy, it has a strong follow - up to Shanghai aluminum, and it is recommended to pay attention to the price difference between aluminum alloy and aluminum [18][19]. - For zinc, the interest - rate cut expectation has weakened. Fundamentally, the phenomenon of smelters competing for mines is serious, and the willingness of smelters to reduce or stop production in November has increased. Assuming stable demand, there is a possibility of inventory reduction. It is expected to be relatively strong and volatile in November [20]. - For nickel and stainless steel, the intraday trading continued to be volatile, and the current long - short game sentiment is relatively strong. The macro - level Fed interest - rate cut and the friendly talks between China and the US in Busan have brought major policy benefits, but the downward shift of the cost support at the fundamental level still suppresses the upward space [21]. - For tin, the uncertainty of the interest - rate cut has increased, and it is weakly volatile. Technically, the pressure level of 290,000 is relatively stable. Fundamentally, the supply is weaker than the demand. In the short term, it is still bullish, and the support is predicted to be around 276,000 [22]. - For lead, it is in a narrow - range shock. The long - term trend is bullish, and the medium - to - short - term wave - like upward trend is stable. High - selling and low - buying strategies can be adopted [22]. - For steel, the price is expected to rebound slightly. Although there is no substantial improvement in the downstream consumption end, there is an expectation of crude steel production reduction, and the steel price will maintain a shock in the future [23]. - For iron ore, the current market presents a pattern of loose supply and demand, and the price is under obvious pressure. In the context of abundant supply, high inventory, and limited demand boost, if steel mills do not achieve large - scale and substantial production cuts, the industrial chain contradictions are difficult to ease, and the iron ore price is expected to continue to be under pressure after the macro events are implemented [24]. - For coking coal and coke, recently, downstream coking plants and steel mills have concentrated on replenishing their inventories, and the coking coal inventory structure has improved. The third round of price increases has started, and the coke price may be relatively strong in the short term. If the coking coal supply continues to tighten in the fourth quarter, and the winter - storage demand is released in mid - to - late November, the overall valuation center of the black market is expected to move up [26][27]. - For ferroalloys, they are supported by the coking coal price, but the fundamentals are not strong enough to support the upward movement, and the upward space is limited [28]. - For crude oil, the price is under pressure. In the short term, the API data shows a significant reduction in US crude oil, gasoline, and diesel inventories, and the Fed's interest - rate meeting and the China - US summit may boost sentiment, so the oil price may fluctuate. But in the medium - to - long - term, the pressure of oversupply is difficult to change, and it is still likely to decline after a rebound [32]. - For LPG, after the China - US summit, the domestic and foreign prices have fallen, and the previous excessive expectations have been slightly revised, but the phased easing of China - US relations is still beneficial. Fundamentally, the port inventory has increased this week, and the chemical demand remains stable. The domestic LPG market still shows a relatively strong shock pattern [34]. - For PTA - PX, the macro - optimistic sentiment has cooled down, and the price has declined slightly. In the short term, it is mainly a short - term strong shock driven by sentiment, and the PTA processing fee has expanded. In the long - term, the industrial - structure contradictions are difficult to solve before the implementation of actual production - reduction actions, and the PTA processing fee is still under pressure from supply and demand [37]. - For MEG - bottle chips, the fundamental supply - demand situation of ethylene glycol has improved marginally, but the valuation is still under pressure. In the short term, it is expected to follow the macro - sentiment and fluctuate widely, and the operation idea of shorting at high levels remains unchanged [38]. - For methanol, from the perspective of its own fundamentals, the 01 contract is not optimistic. It is recommended to reduce the short - put position of the 01 contract and sell the 01 call option at the same time [39]. - For PP, the pattern of strong supply and weak demand continues to put pressure on it, resulting in a low - level shock situation. Due to the limited new drivers at present, the shock pattern is expected to continue [41]. - For PE, the weak supply - demand pattern continues. It is in a deadlock of strong supply and weak demand. Affected significantly by cost factors such as crude oil, it generally maintains a wide - range shock pattern [44]. - For pure benzene and styrene, after the rise, the price has fallen. Pure benzene is expected to be weak, and for styrene, the de - stocking pressure is large. It is recommended to wait and see on a single - side basis and consider shorting the processing spread at a high level between varieties after the macro situation is clear [46]. - For fuel oil, the high - sulfur fuel oil is in a pattern of strong expectation and weak reality, and it is not advisable to be overly optimistic about the later cracking. Attention can be paid to the opportunity to expand the spread between LU and FU recently. The low - sulfur fuel oil has a low valuation and there is an expectation of repair, and attention can also be paid to the opportunity to expand the spread between LU and FU [46][47]. - For asphalt, the short - term peak season has no super - expected performance. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term or try to short after the futures price reaches the pressure level [49]. - For glass, soda ash, and caustic soda, for soda ash, without production reduction, the valuation has no upward elasticity, and the upper - and - middle - stream inventory remains high, limiting the price, but there is cost support below. For glass, the spot sales have improved slightly after the price cut, and the game may continue until near the delivery. For caustic soda, the production is gradually recovering, the market pressure is increasing, and the high profit restricts the price increase [49][50][51][52]. - For pulp and offset paper, the pulp price is restricted by the relatively high port inventory, and it still needs to wait for the traditional peak season to provide support in the short term. For offset paper, the futures price shows a slightly upward shock trend, and attention can be paid to the de - stocking situation [53]. - For logs, the market is in a low - volatility state without obvious drivers, and it is expected to continue. It is recommended to sell the 750 put option of the 01 contract, and the grid strategy can be re - configured [55]. - For propylene, the crude oil end is oscillating at the 65 mark, and the cost end is relatively strong. But the overall supply situation of propylene remains loose, the spot market continues to weaken, and the peak season of PP terminal demand is not prosperous [56]. - For live pigs, the position game intensifies, and the futures price has declined [58]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Financial Futures Macro - Market news includes the China - US economic and trade teams reaching three - aspect achievement consensuses, possible selection of the Fed chairman candidate before Christmas, the European Central Bank maintaining the deposit rate at 2%, and the Bank of Japan maintaining the interest rate unchanged [1]. - The GDP growth rate in the third quarter declined as expected, and the GDP deflator is showing a recovery trend. In September, the economy had a structural differentiation of strong production and weak domestic demand. Fiscal policy has taken effect, and the subsequent rhythm of domestic demand repair is crucial. The stock market responded positively after the plenary - session communiqué, and the stock index may perform. The China - US economic and trade negotiation results are beneficial to export enterprises in the long - term. Overseas, the Fed's interest - rate cut and Powell's hawkish speech have affected the market's interest - rate cut expectation [1]. RMB Exchange Rate - The previous trading day, the on - shore RMB against the US dollar closed down, and the central parity rate was depreciated. Affected by the China - US negotiation and the Bank of Japan's interest - rate decision, the RMB against the US dollar exchange rate was under pressure. In the future, attention should be paid to the US employment and inflation situation and the enterprise's willingness to settle foreign exchange. There is a certain appreciation power for the RMB against the US dollar exchange rate with the seasonal effect [2]. - Short - term strategy suggestions: export enterprises can lock in forward exchange settlement in batches at around 7.13, and import enterprises can adopt a rolling foreign - exchange purchase strategy at the 7.09 mark [3]. Stock Index - The previous trading day, the stock index closed down collectively, and the trading volume in the two markets increased. The Fed's interest - rate decision and Powell's speech affected the A - share market. Although the stock index fell, it is expected to strengthen again after digesting the interest - rate cut expectation difference in the short term [4][5]. Treasury Bond - The previous trading day, T and TL closed up in a shock, TF was flat, and TS fell slightly. The capital supply became looser. The China - US negotiation results are beneficial to risk assets, and the short - term upward space of treasury bonds may be limited [6]. Container Shipping (European Line) - The previous trading day, the main contract of the container shipping index (European line) futures rose first and then fell, and the far - month contracts showed differentiation. The market has both positive and negative factors. The positive factors include the phased easing of China - US trade friction, geopolitical risks supporting freight rates, and the basis for price support in the peak season. The negative factors include the discount on spot price increases, long - term over - capacity pressure, and insufficient European economic resilience [7][9]. - The short - term is expected to maintain a high - level shock, and the game in the 1800 - 1900 point range intensifies. Trend traders can wait and see, and arbitrage traders can pay attention to the spread between EC2512 and EC2602 [10]. Commodities Precious Metals (Gold & Silver) - The previous trading day, precious metals prices rebounded significantly, affected by the China - US summit and the news about the Fed chairman candidate. The interest - rate cut expectation has slightly recovered. The long - term fund positions and inventory have changed. In the short term, it has entered an adjustment stage, and attention should be paid to the opportunity to make up for long positions at a low level in the medium term [12][13]. Copper - The previous trading day, copper prices in different markets fell. The LME plans to formulate permanent rules to restrict members with large positions in near - month contracts. In the short term, if the spot market trading volume does not increase, the futures price will maintain a high - level shock. Corresponding trading strategies are provided for different market participants [14][16]. Aluminum Industry Chain - For aluminum, after the China - US summit, relevant export control measures were suspended. The domestic fundamentals are stable, and there are overseas supply disturbances. It will maintain a high - level shock in the short term. For alumina, it is in an oversupply situation, and it is mainly bearish before large - scale production cuts, but the downward space is limited at the current price. For cast aluminum alloy, it has a strong follow - up to Shanghai aluminum, and attention can be paid to the price difference [18][19]. Zinc - The previous trading day, zinc prices opened low and fluctuated due to the weakening of the interest - rate cut expectation. Fundamentally, the smelters' willingness to reduce or stop production in November has increased. Assuming stable demand, there is a possibility of inventory reduction. It is expected to be relatively strong and volatile in November [20]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - The previous trading day, the prices of nickel and stainless steel futures fell slightly. The intraday trading continued to be volatile, with strong long - short game sentiment. The macro - level has policy benefits, but the cost support at the fundamental level is weakening. The stainless steel market is in the off - season, and the downstream demand is general [20][21]. Tin - The previous trading day, tin prices were weakly volatile, mainly affected by the weakening of the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation. Fundamentally, the supply is weaker than the demand. In the short term, it is still bullish, and the support is predicted to be around 276,000 [22]. Lead - The previous trading day, lead prices were in a narrow - range shock. The supply is tight in the short term, and the downstream acceptance of high prices is low. It is expected to be in a narrow - range shock around 17,200 - 17,500 in the short term, and the low inventory supports the price [22]. Black Metals Rebar & Hot - Rolled Coil - The previous trading day, due to the China - US summit, the prices of finished steel products rose first and then fell. Affected by coal mine safety inspections and Mongolian political disturbances, coking coal prices rose rapidly, driving finished steel products to rebound slightly, but the upward momentum was weak. The fundamentals of finished steel products this week are neutral, and the production of rebar and hot - rolled coil has different changes. It is expected that the steel price will rebound slightly due to environmental protection restrictions in Tangshan [23]. Iron Ore - The price of iron ore rose first and then fell. The current market has a pattern of loose supply and demand, with high global shipments, rapid accumulation of port inventory, and limited reduction in iron - water production. The terminal demand is differentiated, and the macro - policy has limited support for iron ore demand. It is expected to continue to be under pressure [24]. Coking Coal and Coke - The previous trading day, they were in a high - level shock. The downstream has concentrated on replenishing inventories, and the coking coal inventory structure has improved. The third round of price increases has started, and the coke price may be relatively strong in the short term. If the coking coal supply continues to tighten in the fourth quarter, the overall valuation center of the black market is expected to move
