对于此次LPR调降的原因，中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬认为，在中期借贷便利（MLF）政策利 率下调、银行负债端压力减轻和实体融资需求不足等多重因素影响下，8月LPR跟随下调，且基于稳地 产和防套利的综合考量，1年期和5年期以上LPR实现非对称下调。此举将对降低实体经济融资成本、提 振市场主体信心、促进信贷有效需求回升发挥积极作用。 "18日召开的国务院常务会议部署推动降低企业融资成本和个人消费信贷成本的措施，加大金融支 持实体经济力度。本月LPR下降符合预期，是响应落实国务院常务会议要求的具体举措。"在招联金融 首席研究员董希淼看来，一方面，今年以来，我国宏观经济恢复态势并不稳固。从7月经济数据看，投 资、消费等各项主要指标全线下滑，稳增长面临较大压力。另一方面，企业和居民有效融资需求不足。 从央行公布的数据看，7月社会融资和人民币贷款增量明显回落，企业投资和居民消费意愿萎缩。 董希淼表示，在美国等发达经济体继续加息进程的情况下，8月LPR下降，表明我国货币政策更加 坚持"以我为主"，兼顾外部平衡。下一步，我国货币政策应从多个方面加大实施力度，既要维护物价稳 定，更要促进经济增长，提振信心和预期，更好地助力经 ...

1. Overall Investment Ratings - The report does not provide an industry - wide investment rating. 2. Core Views Steel - The black futures market weakened recently. In the short - term, the steel inventory pressure is not significant, but the off - season demand has a low acceptance of high prices. The main contract is approaching the roll - over period, and the price of the October contract is expected to fluctuate at high levels. It was previously recommended to buy on dips, and existing long positions can be held. However, due to limited terminal demand, chasing long positions should be done with caution [1]. Iron Ore - The 2509 iron ore contract showed a fluctuating and slightly stronger trend last week. In the future, the average daily hot metal production in August will remain high but is expected to slightly decline to around 2.36 million tons per day. Steel prices may rise due to production restrictions, which will reduce iron ore demand but provide valuation support. It is recommended to go long on the 2601 contract on dips and conduct an arbitrage strategy of going long on coking coal 01 and short on iron ore 01 [4]. Coke - The coke futures rebounded from the bottom last week, and the price fluctuated sharply. The fifth round of price increase has been implemented, and there may be further increases. Supply is difficult to increase due to some enterprises' losses, while demand from blast furnaces provides support. It is recommended to go long on the 2601 coke contract on dips and conduct a 9 - 1 reverse arbitrage [6]. Coking Coal - The coking coal futures rebounded from the bottom last week, and the spot market is generally stable and slightly stronger. The supply is tight, and the demand for replenishment from downstream is continuous. It is recommended to go long on the 2601 coking coal contract on dips and conduct a 9 - 1 reverse arbitrage [6]. 3.

Core Views of the Report - In the black industry, short - term steel industry growth expectations still exist. There are opportunities in the contract operation of going long on RB2601 and shorting I2601. Attention should be paid to policy implementation and off - season demand. In the financial market, the market has rebounded continuously, and it is recommended to hold long positions in stock index futures lightly and long positions in Treasury bonds lightly. For precious metals, the logic driving the gold price increase has not completely reversed, and short - term factors may cause fluctuations. In the agricultural and light industrial products markets, different products have different trends based on their supply - demand fundamentals and external factors [2][3][4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Black Industry - **Iron ore**: Short - term manufacturing recovery is interrupted, and policy expectations are falsified. Supply increases slightly, and steel mills' production drive is strong. There are production - reduction expectations in the later period. Consider the operation of going long on RB2601 and shorting I2601 [2]. - **Coking coal and coke**: Coal mine over - production inspections tighten supply, and transportation is disrupted. The market is in a slightly tight supply - demand state, and prices are likely to rise [2]. - **Rolled steel and rebar**: Tangshan's independent steel - rolling enterprises' production restrictions are beneficial to finished products. Demand is in the off - season, and inventory may accumulate. Consider the operation of going long on RB2601 and shorting I2601 [2]. - **Glass**: The market's speculation sentiment cools down, and the demand is difficult to recover significantly. It is in the adjustment stage [2]. - **Soda ash**: In the adjustment stage, with the market's trading logic returning to the fundamentals [2]. Financial Market - **Stock index futures/options**: The market has rebounded, and risk appetite has improved. It is recommended to hold long positions in stock index futures lightly [3]. - **Treasury bonds**: Market interest rates have rebounded, and Treasury bond prices have fallen. Hold long positions in Treasury bonds lightly [3]. - **Gold and silver**: The gold - pricing mechanism is changing. The logic of the gold price increase has not reversed. Short - term factors such as employment data and tariff policies affect the price. Pay attention to the latest CPI data [3][4]. Agricultural and Light Industrial Products Markets - **Pulp**: The supply - demand pattern is weak, and the price is expected to consolidate [4]. - **Logs**: Demand has increased slightly, supply pressure is not large, and the price is expected to oscillate [4]. - **Oils and fats**: Supported by raw material costs, external markets, and demand recovery, they are expected to oscillate upward. Pay attention to weather and production - sales conditions [4]. - **Meal products**: Supply is sufficient in the short term, and prices are under pressure. In the long term, there are some supporting factors. They are expected to oscillate strongly [6]. - **Live pigs**: Supply is increasing, and consumption is restricted by high temperatures.

With the improvement of supply - side factors, the price is expected to be strong in the short term [6][8]. - **PX, PTA, MEG, PR, PF**: These products are in a state of wait - and - see, with their prices mainly affected by cost and supply - demand changes [8][12].
