The market is volatile due to various uncertainties [15] - Rubber supply may face pressure as the tapping season progresses, and the demand support is limited. The short - term trend is expected to be strong due to the expected smooth progress of Sino - US trade negotiations [16] - Polyolefin futures declined slightly. The spot prices were stable. With the easing of the external environment and the rebound of crude oil prices, and the high demand from downstream industries, the market may fluctuate and rebound in the short term [17] - Glass futures were in a low - level consolidation, and soda ash futures rebounded slightly. Both are in the process of inventory digestion, and the market is cautious. Attention should be paid to consumption in autumn and policy changes [18] Metal - Precious metals continued to decline. Geopolitical risks have cooled down, and the driving factors have weakened. However, the long - term trend of gold as a safe - haven asset remains [2][19] - Copper prices decreased slightly at night. The concentrate supply is tight, and the smelting profit is at the break - even point, but the smelting output continues to grow. The Indonesian mine accident may lead to a supply - demand gap and support copper prices in the long term [20] - Zinc prices increased slightly at night. The zinc concentrate processing fee has increased, and the smelting output is expected to rise. The domestic zinc price may be weaker than the foreign one, and the market may fluctuate within a range [21] Black - Coking coal and coke futures fluctuated narrowly at night. The output of five major steel products increased slightly, and the inventory decreased. The high iron - water output provides support for coking coal and coke, but the possible reduction of blast - furnace production due to shrinking profits is a risk. The short - term trend is expected to be a high - level shock [22] Agricultural Products - Protein meal futures fluctuated strongly at night. The US soybean export inspection volume was higher than expected, and the Brazilian soybean planting progress was good. The domestic market is expected to fluctuate in the short term [23] - Oil futures were weak at night. The palm oil production in Malaysia is expected to increase in October, and the supply - side expectation is loose, which suppresses the short - term market [24] - International sugar prices are in a downward trend due to the increase in Brazilian sugar supply. The domestic sugar price may be supported by the cost of the new crushing season, and there is a possibility of an upward trend in the short term [25] - Cotton futures continued to be strong in a volatile manner. The US cotton market is in a short - term shock due to the government shutdown. The domestic new cotton purchase is in the peak season, and the price supports the market in the short term [26] Shipping Index - The container shipping index for European routes (EC) declined. The SCFIS European route index rebounded for the second consecutive period. The market is still gambling on the year - end peak season, and the shipping companies are relatively positive in price - holding at the end of the year, but the market operation is not smooth [27][28]

Core Viewpoint - In September, industrial profits showed a weak performance compared to previous years when adjusted for low base effects, with current cost rates remaining at historically high levels [2][8]. Overall Performance - In September, industrial profits continued to rise due to short-term factors such as expenses, with a year-on-year increase of 2.6 percentage points to 22.5% under low base conditions. However, on a two-year compound basis, profit growth fell by 5.3 percentage points to -5.9%, and the month-on-month profit increase was only 1.1%, significantly lower than the same period last year (11.3%) [2][8]. - The profit margin increased year-on-year, primarily driven by short-term indicators like expense ratios, which rose by 9.5 percentage points to 11.6% [2][8]. Revenue Analysis - In September, industrial revenue improved, with nominal revenue rising due to marginal improvements in the Producer Price Index (PPI). The actual revenue growth rate, adjusted for price changes, increased by 0.2 percentage points to 5.4%, contributing an additional 0.3 percentage points to the year-on-year profit growth [2][16]. - Revenue growth varied across industrial chains, with the consumer chain showing a notable increase of 2.2 percentage points to 8.1%, while the petrochemical and metallurgy chains also saw improvements [2][16]. Cost Structure - Industrial enterprises faced increasing cost pressures in September, with cost rates for the metallurgy and consumer chains at historically high levels, indicating that the effects of anti-involution policies are yet to be realized. The overall cost rate for industrial enterprises was 85.4%, remaining relatively high compared to previous years [3][22]. - The cost contribution to year-on-year profit growth decreased by 0.3 percentage points to -3.6% [3][22]. Industry Insights - Industries with significant profit improvements were primarily influenced by revenue and expenses, despite ongoing cost pressures. Notable profit recoveries were observed in the computer communication and automotive sectors, contributing 3.5 and 2.8 percentage points to overall profit, respectively [3][33]. - Other sectors such as general equipment, non-metallic products, and rubber and plastics also contributed positively to profit growth, while the beverage industry saw a significant decline in profit growth [3][33]. Future Outlook - Industrial enterprises are expected to continue facing substantial cost pressures, with the effectiveness of anti-involution policies still to be seen. The current profit pressures are largely attributed to rigid cost increases driven by downstream investment [4][48]. - Future policies aimed at stabilizing growth in sectors like construction materials and steel are anticipated to gradually alleviate cost pressures, alongside a recovery in domestic demand [4][48].
