黑色建材日报：市场情绪不佳，钢价震荡下行-20251112

Group 1: Glass and Soda Ash Analysis - The glass futures market showed a volatile decline yesterday, while the spot price was stable with a slight increase, and downstream buyers purchased on - demand. The supply - demand contradiction in the glass market remains significant, with high inventory levels despite some destocking, and the medium - to - long - term demand is not optimistic due to the approaching end of the consumption peak season and the weak real - estate industry. The change of glass production lines should be continuously monitored [1]. - The soda ash futures market moved in a volatile manner yesterday, and downstream buyers showed strong wait - and - see sentiment, mainly purchasing at low prices for essential needs. The supply - demand contradiction in the soda ash market still exists. Although downstream essential demand is resilient, high inventory continuously suppresses prices, and the pressure of destocking persists throughout the year. The supply and cost changes of soda ash should be continuously monitored [1]. Group 2: Glass and Soda Ash Strategy - The glass market is expected to be volatile, and the soda ash market is expected to be volatile and weak. There are no strategies for inter - delivery and inter - commodity trading [2]. Group 3: Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron Analysis - The main contract of silicon manganese futures dropped in the afternoon following the coking coal sector yesterday. The mainstream steel procurement volume decreased slightly compared to the previous period. The price of 6517 silicon manganese in the northern market was 5570 - 5620 yuan/ton, and in the southern market was 5600 - 5650 yuan/ton. Silicon manganese enterprises are continuously losing money, but production remains at a medium - to - high level, and enterprise inventory has reached a five - year high. However, the inventory of upstream manganese ore is continuously decreasing, and the total inventory of manganese elements remains stable. It is expected that the price of silicon manganese will continue to resonate with the black - series products and maintain a wide - range low - level volatile trend. The cost support of manganese ore and regional policies should be monitored [3]. - The main contract of silicon iron futures declined in a volatile manner yesterday. The silicon iron market showed little change, and the market mainly focused on order fulfillment. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron natural lumps in the main production areas was 5150 - 5250 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron was 5700 yuan/ton. Currently, silicon iron has high production and high inventory, and demand is marginally weakening. The market mainly purchases on - demand. Although enterprises are continuously losing money, production has not been effectively restricted, and high inventory pressure will continue to suppress prices. With the increase in the prices of semi - coke and electricity in some regions, the cost of silicon iron has risen. The changes in coal and electricity prices on the cost side and regional policies should be monitored [3]. Group 4: Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron Strategy - Both the silicon manganese and silicon iron markets are expected to be volatile and slightly strong [4].
