Report Overview - Report Date: December 4, 2025 - Report Type: Black Metal Daily Report (Ferroalloy) - Researcher: Zhou Tao [2] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Cost drives short - term rebounds in ferroalloy futures, but future demand pressure restricts the rebound height [5]. - For single - sided trading, expect short - term rebounds driven by cost but be cautious about the limited upside due to demand pressure; for arbitrage, stay on the sidelines; for options, sell out - of - the - money straddle option combinations [6]. 3.

For example, 72%FeSi in Inner Mongolia was 5,250, unchanged for the day and up 50 for the week [3]. - Manganese silicon spot prices were stable to slightly stronger, with some regions up 20 yuan/ton. For example, silicon manganese 6517 in Tianjin was up 20 yuan/ton for the day and 90 yuan/ton for the week [3]. 3.1.3 Basis/Spread - For silicon iron, the basis between Inner Mongolia and the main contract was - 296 (down 100 for the day and 106 for the week) [3]. - The SF - SM spread was - 250, up 50 for the day and down 12 for the week [3]. 3.1.4 Raw Materials - Manganese ore spot prices in Tianjin showed mixed trends on the 4th. Australian lumps rose 0.2 yuan/ton - degree, and semi - carbonates fell 0.1 yuan/ton - degree [3][5]. - Lanthanum charcoal small materials' prices in Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia remained unchanged [3]. 3.2 Market Judgment 3.2.1 Trading Strategy - Silicon Iron: Cost - driven short - term rebound, but limited upside due to demand. In November, power prices in production areas increased, exacerbating losses and expected to reduce future output. Although steel profits have recovered, steel production is still declining [5]. - Manganese Silicon: Cost - driven short - term rebound, but future demand pressure exists. Manganese ore port inventories are at a low level, and the spot price is strong, but steel demand for manganese silicon is weakening [5]. 3.2.2 Unilateral, Arbitrage, and Option Strategies - Unilateral: Short - term rebound driven by cost, but limited upside due to demand pressure [6]. - Arbitrage: Stay on the sidelines [6]. - Options: Sell out - of - the - money straddle option combinations [6]. 3.2.3 Important Information - On the 4th, the transaction price of semi - carbonates at Tianjin Port was around 34.3 yuan/ton - degree, Gabon lumps around 43 yuan/ton - degree, etc. [7]. - In November, power prices in Qinghai continued to rise by 3 - 6 cents, and some enterprises in Qinghai plan to stop production due to increased losses.
