- Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - On March 9th, ferroalloy futures prices rose and then fell. The silicon - iron (SF) main contract closed at 5868, with a 0.00% increase and a decrease of 24,798 in positions. The manganese - silicon (SM) main contract closed at 6132, with a 0.03% increase and a decrease of 37,804 in positions [5]. - For silicon - iron, on the 9th, the spot price was stable with a slight upward trend, rising by 150 - 320 yuan/ton in some regions. Supply - side sample enterprise operating rates and output decreased slightly, but recent price increases have led to profit recovery, and some supply has started to resume production. Steel output is increasing steadily, and it is expected to continue to climb slowly in March. The electricity price is firm, and the market is in a positive feedback loop between the cost side and the demand side. Due to the sharp rise in crude oil prices, the price opened higher, but the transmission to domestic ferroalloy energy costs is long - term, and the short - term impact is limited. As the price reaches a high level, the risk - return ratio decreases, so it is recommended to partially take profits on previous long positions [5]. - For manganese - silicon, on the 9th, the manganese ore spot price was stable with a slight upward trend, with the semi - carbonate at Tianjin Port rising by 0.5 yuan/ton degree, and the manganese - silicon spot price also showed a similar trend, rising by 50 - 150 yuan/ton in some regions. The sample output decreased slightly, and after the commissioning of some new production capacities, the overall supply is expected to be stable. Steel output is increasing steadily and is expected to continue to climb slowly in March. The manganese ore spot price is strong, and overseas mines' April quotes continue to rise. The short - term market is in a positive feedback loop. Similar to silicon - iron, the impact of crude oil on manganese - silicon costs is indirect, and at the current valuation level, the risk - return ratio is not high, so it is recommended to partially reduce positions and take profits [6]. - Trading strategies: For unilateral trading, the risk - return ratio is not high after the price has risen significantly, so it is recommended to partially take profits on previous long positions; for arbitrage, it is advisable to wait and see; for options, sell out - of - the - money put options [7]. 3.
