Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market expectation has increased this week due to multiple factors, including the public consultation on the "Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the release of the "15th Five - Year Plan" suggestions, the Fed's interest rate cut, and the Sino - US leaders' meeting [6]. - Overseas, the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, and the probability of a December rate cut decreased. The US will cancel the 10% so - called "fentanyl tariff" on Chinese goods, and the 24% reciprocal tariff will be suspended for another year [6]. - In terms of supply and demand, inventory has rebounded rapidly, production has continued to decline slightly at a high level, and raw material port inventory has increased by 6.3 tons. The profit in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia is in a loss state, and the mainstream steel procurement price in October decreased month - on - month [6]. - Technically, the weekly K - line of the manganese - silicon main contract is below the 60 - day moving average, showing a bearish trend [6]. - It is expected that the supply pressure will increase in November, and the manganese - silicon inventory will continue to rise. The manganese - silicon main contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 5700 - 5900 [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Week - to - Week Summary - Macro: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology solicited public opinions on capacity replacement in the iron and steel industry, and the "15th Five - Year Plan" suggestions were released. The Fed cut interest rates, and Sino - US leaders met, enhancing market expectations [6]. - Overseas: The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and the probability of a December rate cut decreased. The US adjusted tariffs on Chinese goods [6]. - Supply and Demand: Inventory has rebounded for 4 consecutive weeks, production has declined slightly at a high level, raw material port inventory has increased, and demand for hot metal has decreased. The profit in Inner Mongolia is - 130 yuan/ton, and in Ningxia is - 230 yuan/ton. The mainstream steel procurement price in October was 5820 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 180 yuan/ton [6]. - Technical: The weekly K - line of the manganese - silicon main contract is below the 60 - day moving average, indicating a bearish trend [6]. - Strategy: In November, new production capacity in Inner Mongolia is expected to be put into operation, increasing supply pressure. The industry plans to reduce energy consumption by 40%, but supply has not decreased significantly. The national policy of reducing crude steel production will continue, and alloy is likely to remain in a loss state. The manganese - silicon main contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 5700 - 5900 [6]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Market - Futures Market: As of October 31, the silicon - manganese futures contract open interest was 524,000 lots, a decrease of 19,000 lots compared to the previous period. The 5 - 1 contract spread was 44, an increase of 2 points compared to the previous period. The manganese - silicon warehouse receipt quantity was 9,784, a decrease of 35,082 compared to the previous period. The spread between the manganese - silicon and silicon - iron January contracts was 272, an increase of 42 points compared to the previous period [12][16]. - Spot Market: As of October 31, the Inner Mongolia silicon - manganese spot price was 5,570 yuan/ton, a decrease of 10 yuan/ton compared to the previous period. The basis was - 192 yuan/ton, unchanged compared to the previous period [23]. 3.3 Industrial Chain Situation - Industry: The national average daily output of silicon - manganese was 29,675 tons, an increase of 45 tons.

The national silicon - manganese production was 207,725 tons, a week - on - week increase of 0.15%. The downstream demand is gradually decreasing, and the supply is at a relatively high level [27]. - Inventory: As of October 31, the national silicon - manganese inventory was 314,500 tons, an increase of 21,500 tons compared to the previous period. Inventory has rebounded significantly for 5 consecutive weeks [30]. - Upstream: As of October 29, the price of Australian manganese ore and South African manganese ore remained unchanged. As of October 27, the electricity prices in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia remained unchanged. As of October 24, the total manganese ore port inventory was 442.7 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 1.44%. The arrival volume of manganese ore from different regions showed different trends. The silicon - manganese spot profit in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia remained in a loss state, but the loss decreased [37][43][47]. - Downstream: The daily average hot metal output of 247 steel mills was 236.36 million tons, a decrease of 3.54 million tons compared to the previous week.
