Group 1: Report Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The short - term rebound of rebar and iron ore faces significant pressure, and attention should be paid to the intensity of the marginal weakening of supply and demand [2]. Group 3: Summary of Rebar Section Futures - This week, the rebar 05 contract maintained a narrow - range consolidation trend driven by the long - position main force increasing and then reducing positions. As of Friday, it closed at 3118 yuan/ton, unchanged from last week [3]. Spot - This week, the mainstream rebar prices in major regions started to decline slightly, with average trading volume. As of Friday, the national average rebar price dropped by 8 yuan to 3316 yuan/ton, with prices in different regions showing varying changes [3].

Currently, the iron ore basis is above the average level. Based on the seasonal trend and the basis regression cycle, it is expected that the iron ore basis will likely contract in the future [8]. Comprehensive Judgment - In the short term, the shipments of imported iron ore have started to decrease slightly, but the arrivals are expected to increase slightly next week, and the port inventory will continue to show an accumulation trend. On the demand side, the daily average hot - metal output has changed little in the short term, the steel mill consumption has decreased slightly, and steel mills have started to replenish their inventories slightly in the short term. Overall, the short - term rebound of iron ore faces significant pressure, and the rebound height depends on the intensity of steel mill maintenance and production restrictions and the decline in terminal demand [8].

Silicon producers are facing pressure on prices due to their sales, while stable raw material prices provide cost support [3][4] - In the southwestern region, production levels have stabilized at low levels, with manufacturers holding inventory but showing weak willingness to sell due to low market prices and weak downstream purchasing capacity. In contrast, some manufacturers in the northwestern region have increased production, providing some price support [3][4] Demand Insights - According to SMM statistics, the expected domestic polysilicon production for December is 113,500 tons, a slight decrease of 0.1 tons month-on-month, indicating stability. Overall, industrial silicon demand is showing a slight decline as the year-end approaches [3][4] Inventory Levels - The total social inventory of industrial silicon in major regions is reported at 555,000 tons, with a week-on-week increase of 2,000 tons [3][4] Cost and Profitability - Production costs for metallic silicon have increased slightly this week, primarily due to rising electricity prices in Sichuan. However, prices for raw materials such as petroleum coke, quartz, and electrodes remain stable. Future costs are expected to stabilize [4][5] - The overall production cost of industrial silicon remains stable, with raw material prices holding steady. The increase in prices has led to a rise in industrial silicon profits [4][5] Market Strategy - Industrial silicon prices are expected to maintain a range-bound fluctuation, with upward potential dependent on the recovery of downstream demand and inventory reduction progress. Downward pressure is limited by cost support and expectations of production cuts [5][6] Polysilicon Market Overview - The main contract for polysilicon exhibited a wide range of fluctuations this week, with prices peaking at 61,150 CNY/ton and dropping to 57,025 CNY/ton, resulting in a weekly decline of 2.14% [7][8] - The latest weekly polysilicon production is reported at 25,300 tons, with a month-on-month increase of 1.20%. The overall supply for December continues to show a contraction trend, although the decrease is not significant [8][9] Demand and Inventory in Polysilicon - The overall demand for polysilicon is contracting due to a seasonal slowdown, with downstream production cuts leading to weak purchasing activity. High inventory levels are causing downstream companies to lack motivation for replenishment [8][9] - The latest polysilicon inventory is reported at 303,000 tons, with a week-on-week increase of 3.41% [8][9] Cost Structure in Polysilicon - Current cost changes in the polysilicon industry are minimal, with most companies reporting a total cost of around 45,000 CNY/ton, except for a few with lower electricity prices [8][9] Future Price Expectations - Polysilicon prices are expected to remain in the range of 57,000 to 61,000 CNY/ton, awaiting further clarity on the fundamentals.

1. Report's Investment Ratings for Different Industries - Cotton: Neutral to bullish [3] - Sugar: Neutral [6] - Pulp: Neutral [8] 2. Core Views of the Report - Cotton: The 2025/26 global cotton production and demand are both decreasing, with a slight increase in ending stocks. The US cotton production is slightly increasing, and the northern hemisphere's new cotton supply pressure is high. The global textile consumption is still weak. The domestic cotton production continues to increase, with sufficient short - term supply. The demand is improving with the approaching festivals. Considering the expected reduction in cotton planting and production in Xinjiang in 2026, the cotton price is expected to be positive after the seasonal pressure [2][3]. - Sugar: The 2025/26 global sugar market is in a definite surplus. The short - term decline of raw sugar is limited, and the medium - term high production will suppress the price. The domestic sugar is expected to increase for the third year, with increasing supply and import pressure [5]. - Pulp: Overseas pulp mills have shutdown and maintenance news. The European demand has improved, while the domestic terminal demand is insufficient, but the port inventory is declining. With the expansion of downstream paper production capacity, the pulp price may gradually stabilize [7]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog Cotton Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of cotton 2605 contract was 14,255 yuan/ton, up 75 yuan/ton (+0.53%) from the previous day. - Spot: The Xinjiang arrival price of 3128B cotton was 15,086 yuan/ton, up 5 yuan/ton; the national average price was 15,279 yuan/ton, up 8 yuan/ton.
