近期，多晶硅、焦煤、玻璃等工业品期货价格大幅上涨，吸引了市场各方高度关注。7月7日至22日，南 华商品指数累计上涨4.9%。 笔者认为，本轮商品期货大涨的主要原因有四点： 二是产业的结构性特点。多晶硅是本轮商品上涨行情中的最强品种，其产业结构特点助推了价格上涨。 多晶硅行业是典型的寡头垄断行业，前五大企业份额占全市场的70%左右，头部企业拥有强大的价格主 导能力。当市场出现利多信号时，头部企业可通过减产、提价等方式影响市场价格，短期内极易引发期 货价格大幅波动。然而，价格持续非理性大涨会严重伤害下游产业链。下游企业无法顺利转嫁成本，利 润空间被大幅挤压甚至亏损，长此以往会打击其生产积极性，可能减少生产规模，反过来影响上游多晶 硅等产品需求。这不仅违背政策初衷，还会破坏产业链生态平衡，可能引发系统性风险。 更重要的是，上一轮商品牛市有地产、投资等领域需求的强劲支持，当时房地产蓬勃发展和大规模基础 设施建设极大地拉动了钢铁、煤炭、水泥等工业品的需求，为价格上涨提供了坚实基础。本轮"反内 卷"政策更多是希望引导供需适配。从政策角度看，只有国内需求合理发展，带动经济稳步增长，才可 能是本轮牛市的根本驱动因素。 另一方 ...

7 月锰硅期现价格延续上涨态势，主力合约期价由月初最低 5576 元/吨震荡上行并突破 6000 元/ 吨整数关口，创下近 4 个月新高。相应的主流地区现货价格同样走强，内蒙古、宁夏地区现货价格 同期分别上涨 200 元/吨、290 元/吨，涨幅低于期货，基差有所走弱。 7 月权益市场与商品市场均大幅上涨，主要受益于"反内卷"政策的利好预期。不过，"反内卷"仅 是黑色金属上涨的触发因素，本轮上行具备产业和宏观层面的基础。具体来看，黑色产业在淡季的 矛盾累积有限，部分品种价格跌至边际成本附近。叠加"反内卷"引发市场对供给侧结构性改革预期， 品种低价与政策预期共同引燃了市场看多情绪，推动黑色金属触底回升。拉长周期看，与 2015— 2016 年的供给侧结构性改革不同，本轮过剩主要集中在汽车、光伏等终端制造业，"反内卷"对煤焦 钢等上游原料而言或构成潜在利空。在需求难有持续上行动能、供应相对过剩的背景下，锰硅反弹 空间或受限制，后续走势有待政策出台及执行力度的配合，同时需关注下游行业对原料涨价的承接 能力。 回归到锰硅产业格局来看，本轮黑色系上涨过程中双焦表现最强，为锰硅提供了成本端支撑。 得益于超跌修复及贸易环节 ...

Core Viewpoint - The manganese silicon market is experiencing a price increase driven by strong expectations and cost support, but the supply-demand dynamics remain weak and stable, leading to cautious optimism about future price increases [1][4]. Group 1: Price Trends - In July, the manganese silicon futures price rose from a low of 5576 yuan/ton to over 6000 yuan/ton, reaching a four-month high [1]. - The spot prices in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia increased by 200 yuan/ton and 290 yuan/ton respectively, although these increases were lower than the futures prices, indicating a weakening basis [1]. Group 2: Market Drivers - The rise in the black metal market is attributed to the "anti-involution" policy, which has created positive expectations, although this is just a trigger for the price increase [1]. - The black metal industry is facing limited accumulation of contradictions during the off-season, with some prices falling to marginal cost levels, which, combined with policy expectations, has fueled bullish market sentiment [1]. Group 3: Cost Dynamics - The cost support for manganese silicon is primarily influenced by coking coal prices, which have rebounded significantly, with main contract prices increasing over 60% from their lows [2]. - However, manganese ore prices have remained stable, and electricity prices have not changed significantly, limiting the upward pressure on manganese silicon costs [2]. Group 4: Production and Demand - As of mid-July, the operating rate of independent manganese silicon enterprises was 40.53%, with a daily average output of 26,120 tons, showing a slight decrease but a significant increase from previous lows [3]. - The steel market is entering a traditional off-season, particularly affecting rebar demand, which has led to a continuous decline in rebar production and subsequently impacted manganese silicon demand [3]. Group 5: Future Outlook - While manganese silicon prices are expected to continue rising due to strong expectations and cost support, the weak supply-demand balance and potential accumulation of industry contradictions warrant cautious optimism regarding future price increases [4].

Group 1 - The market sentiment for steel prices remains pessimistic during the off-season, with prices showing a fluctuating trend in June. However, a rebound was observed in July driven by "anti-involution" sentiment, although the rebound was weaker compared to raw materials [1] - Steel companies reported good profits in the first half of the year, leading to increased procurement demand for raw materials, while the recovery of domestic coking coal production remains slow after safety inspections [1] - Overall, supply-demand contradictions have not yet become prominent, with both domestic and international demand showing resilience. Expectations of favorable policies domestically and interest rate cuts overseas are supporting a strong fluctuating trend for steel prices in July [1] Group 2 - In the first half of 2025, China's steel exports reached 58.147 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.2%. Despite a decline in exports to Vietnam, India, and South Korea, high growth was maintained in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand and the Philippines [2] - The global manufacturing PMI showed a recovery, with the JPMorgan global manufacturing PMI at 50.3% in June 2025, up 0.8 percentage points from the previous month, indicating improved export expectations for steel [2] - Domestic fiscal policies have been proactive, with a rapid issuance of special bonds and a 15.4% increase in water management investment in the first half of the year. However, there are risks of weakening demand in the second half due to high tariffs in the U.S. and continued weakness in the real estate sector [2][4] Group 3 - Narrow infrastructure investment growth has slowed, with the manufacturing PMI remaining below the threshold and manufacturing investment growth dropping to 4.9% [3] - Short-term demand shows resilience, but without sustained favorable policies, there will be pressure for demand to decline in the future [4] Group 4 - On the supply side, the Central Financial Committee's meeting emphasized the need to govern low-price disorderly competition and promote the orderly exit of backward production capacity, raising expectations for supply-side structural reforms [5] - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that a work plan for stabilizing growth in key industries, including steel, will be released soon, further strengthening policy expectations [5] - Current supply and demand, along with cost support, are forming a foundation for steel prices. The slow recovery of domestic coal mines is contributing to a strong trend in coking coal prices, while downstream replenishment has begun [5]
