Brazil is expected to increase its 2025/2026 soybean planting area by 3.6% from the previous month and 0.1% from last year, with an output increase of 14.4% from the previous year. Domestically, the soybean meal futures weakened on October 16. The soybean crushing volume in September was about 9.7 million tons, and it is expected to be about 8.5 million tons in October. The soybean meal inventory remains above 1 million tons, and the supply is loose [9] Live Pigs - On October 16, the live pig futures closed lower. In October, the supply of suitable - weight pigs is sufficient, and the consumption after the festival has declined. The short - term market is in a situation of strong supply and weak demand [10] Shanghai Copper - The strong expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut and the global shortage of copper ore supply support the copper price. However, the uncertainty of Sino - US trade relations and the US government shutdown have disturbed the market sentiment. The price may fluctuate within a range [10] Iron Ore - On October 16, the iron ore 2601 contract closed lower. The iron ore shipment volume continued to decline slightly, the domestic arrival volume increased significantly, and the port inventory continued to accumulate. The iron ore price is in a volatile trend in the short term [11] Asphalt - On October 16, the asphalt 2511 contract closed higher. The asphalt production capacity utilization rate increased slightly, and the shipment volume rebounded. However, due to capital and weather factors, the demand improvement is limited, and the price will fluctuate in the short term [11] Cotton - On Thursday night, the Zhengzhou cotton main contract closed at 13340 yuan/ton. The cotton inventory decreased by 49 lots compared to the previous day. The machine - picked cotton price is 6 - 6.3 yuan per kilogram, and the short - fiber price has fallen. The cotton picking progress in Xinjiang is faster than in previous years [11] Logs - On October 16, the log futures price fell below the 800 - yuan mark. The spot prices in Shandong and Jiangsu remained unchanged. The supply - demand relationship has no major contradictions, and the market is gradually destocking [11][12] Steel - On October 16, the steel prices fell weakly. Some steel mills have arranged maintenance and production cuts. In the short term, the steel price may be adjusted narrowly, and the decline may slow down [12] Alumina - On October 16, the alumina futures price closed at 2790 yuan/ton. The overseas bauxite supply is stable and loose, the domestic supply has not triggered large - scale production cuts, and the inventory is rising. The consumption in the northwest may be boosted by winter storage, but the overall market trading atmosphere is dull [13] Shanghai Aluminum - On October 16, the Shanghai aluminum futures price closed at 20975 yuan/ton. The supply of aluminum ingots is tightening, the inventory is at a historical low, and the downstream consumption in the peak season is strong. The aluminum price will continue to be strong in the short term [13]

Group 1: PVC - Current price of East China SG - 5 type PVC is 4580 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; capacity utilization rate is 82.63%, up 1.21% week - on - week; Jin Yuyuan's 400,000 - ton/year calcium carbide method device is expected to end maintenance this week; social inventory is 103.38 million tons, down 0.24% month - on - month; average gross profit of calcium carbide method PVC producers is - 622 yuan/ton, and that of ethylene method is - 538 yuan/ton; domestic PVC pipe sample enterprises' operation rate is 40.43%, up 1.3% month - on - month [1] - Supply is at a high level, production enterprises are in concentrated maintenance, new devices are put into operation, overall supply is abundant, domestic and foreign demand is rising steadily, social inventory has decreased slightly, and cost support is weak recently. It is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term, with the upper pressure on the 01 contract at the 4765 level. It is recommended to wait and see or short on rebounds [1] Group 2: Gold - International gold price's upward trend continues, and spot gold has broken through $4300 per ounce for the first time, setting a new record high. Multiple institutions have issued risk warnings [2] - When multiple institutions issue risk warnings, it indicates that the market is overheated and risks are approaching. Uncertainties in the US government shutdown and Fed rate cuts have led to the continuous rise of gold, and the weakening of the US dollar index may provide some upward momentum for gold, but it is advisable to be cautious about chasing high [2] Group 3: Crude Oil - As of the week ending October 10, the total US crude oil inventory including strategic reserves was 831.53 million barrels, up 4.284 million barrels from the previous week; commercial crude oil inventory was 423.785 million barrels, up 3.524 million barrels; gasoline inventory was 218.826 million barrels, down 268,000 barrels; the average daily US crude oil production was 13.636 million barrels, up 7,000 barrels from the previous week and 136,000 barrels from the same period last year; the average daily production in the four weeks ending October 10 was 13.568 million barrels, 1.6% higher than the same period last year [4] - The current crude oil market is under multiple pressures such as increased supply, dim demand prospects, and reduced geopolitical risks. The fundamental driving force of crude oil is weak [4] Group 4: Rubber - Thai raw material glue price is 54.1 Thai baht/kg, and cup rubber price is 50 Thai baht/kg; Hainan glue for whole - milk production price is 14,500 yuan/ton, and for concentrated latex production is 15,400 yuan/ton; Cambodia's latex exports from January to September 2025 decreased 11.4% year - on - year to 220,240 tons [5] - Natural rubber is weakly declining, the spot is relatively strong, and the basis is converging. After the future rainfall in the producing areas eases, the incremental expectation is strong. Downstream tire enterprises are currently digesting inventory. Affected by the US tariff policy, the short - term driving force is weak. The low annual overall production of rubber and low inventory in China limit the decline of rubber. Recently, macro - factors have a greater impact than fundamentals, and it is recommended to operate cautiously [5] Group 5: PTA - Taiwan, China's PX is reported at $783 per ton, PXN is $232 per ton, East China PTA is reported at 4350 yuan/ton, and PTA cash - flow cost is 4325 yuan/ton; PTA social inventory is 3.2595 million tons, down 25,500 tons from the previous statistical period; PTA capacity utilization rate is 76.46%; polyester comprehensive capacity utilization rate is around 87.78% [6] - PTA supply is expected to shrink; demand is expected to be dragged down by the tariff policy. As terminal demand enters the off - season, the load of filament and staple fiber is expected to decline, which restricts the rebound space of PTA processing fees. Considering the cost side, the PX load in Asia and China remains at a relatively high level, PXN is under pressure, and crude oil is fluctuating weakly. Overall, the short - term downstream demand expectation and crude oil have a greater impact on PTA prices [6] Group 6: Live Pigs - On October 16, the "Agricultural Product Wholesale Price 200 Index" was 119.41, and the "Vegetable Basket" product wholesale price index was 120.44. As of 14:00, the average price of pork in the national agricultural product wholesale market was 18.02 yuan/kg, down 1.0% from the previous day; eggs were 7.46 yuan/kg, up 0.3% from the previous day [6] - At present, the supply - demand contradiction is still relatively prominent. The slaughter volume of large - scale farms remains high. Although the transaction in some areas has improved supported by second - fattening, the market supply has not decreased, and the slaughter demand has not increased significantly. The possibility of a sharp short - term rebound is small. It is recommended to wait and see and wait for stabilization [6] Group 7: Palm Oil - From October 1 to 15, 2025, Malaysian palm oil yield per unit area increased 5.76% month - on - month, oil extraction rate increased 0.21% month - on - month, and production increased 6.86% month - on - month [7] - Malaysian palm oil production has increased significantly month - on - month, and there is still inventory pressure in October. The reduction of the reference price for November also reflects this. Palm oil prices are under pressure. However, the short - term supply - demand trend of palm oil has not changed, and there is strong support below. It is recommended to go long on dips [7] Group 8: Soybeans - The monthly soybean crushing volume in September released by the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) far exceeded market expectations, reaching 197.863 million bushels, up 4.24% month - on - month and 11.6% year - on - year, setting the fourth - highest monthly record and the highest record for the same period in history. Analysts had expected a crushing volume of 186.34 million bushels before the report [8] - The stronger - than - expected soybean crushing volume in September has alleviated concerns about trade tensions. Bean No. 2 is expected to stabilize in the short term, and attention should be paid to subsequent macro - news. Bean No. 1 is mainly stable and may have upward potential [8] Group 9: Polypropylene - The mainstream price of East China drawn - grade polypropylene is 6565 yuan/ton, down 13 yuan/ton from the previous day; polypropylene capacity utilization rate is 77.66%, up 0.39% from the previous day; the average operation rate of downstream industries is 51.85%, up 0.09 percentage points week - on - week; commercial inventory is 985,200 tons, down 26,000 tons week - on - week; the inventory of two major state - owned petrochemical companies' polyolefins is 800,000 tons, down 20,000 tons from the previous day [8] - The supply - side pressure of polypropylene has slightly eased, demand is flat, commercial inventory has decreased, the spot trading atmosphere has weakened, merchants continue to sell at low prices, and cost support is weak. It is expected that the PP 01 contract will fluctuate in the short term, with the upper pressure at the 6660 level. It is recommended to wait and see or short on rebounds [8] Group 10: Glass - The national average price of float glass is 1246 yuan/ton, down 3 yuan/ton from the previous day; the float glass operation rate is 76.35%, up 0.34% week - on - week; the total inventory of national float glass sample enterprises is 64.2756 million weight boxes, up 2.31% month - on - month; the average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises is 10.4 days, down 5.5% month - on - month; from January to August, the housing completion area was 276.9354 million square meters, down 17% year - on - year [9] - Currently, the profit of float glass enterprises is relatively stable, daily melting volume has rebounded slightly, downstream deep - processing enterprises' orders are still weak, float glass enterprises' inventory has increased, the market trading atmosphere is weak, and most raw - sheet enterprises have poor production and sales. It is expected that the glass 01 contract will fluctuate in the short term, with the upper pressure at the 1160 level. It is recommended to wait and see and wait for a pull - back and stabilization [9] Group 11: Short - term Treasury Bonds - Shibor short - term varieties show differentiation. The overnight variety remains flat at 1.316%; the 7 - day variety rises 0.5 BP to 1.419%; the 14 - day variety falls 0.9 BP to 1.443%, hitting a new low since January 2023; the 1 - month variety remains flat at 1.559% [9] - There is a differentiation between short - term and long - term in the capital market, indicating short - term capital tightness but loose capital expectations. Attention should be paid to the logic of loose liquidity and the stock - bond seesaw. The risk - aversion sentiment in the Treasury bond futures market has increased, which supports the bond market. However, it may still fluctuate in the medium term [9] Group 12: Silver - Fed officials have different views on the pace of rate cuts. Governor Waller advocates a cautious rate - cut step of 25 basis points each time to deal with the weak labor market, while Acting Fed Governor Milan calls for a more aggressive 50 - basis - point rate cut. The core of the disagreement lies in the speed of policy adjustment [10] - The Fed's divergence has increased, but a rate cut in October is basically priced in. The weakening of the US economy is negative for silver, but the strength of gold has created conditions for a short - squeeze in silver. The upward momentum of silver is limited. It is expected to fluctuate bullishly in the short term, and it is advisable to be cautious about chasing high [10]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The trade situation remains volatile, and the weakening of the US dollar index has led to new highs in precious metal prices. The supply - demand relationship of copper provides strong support for prices, and short - term price declines may be limited. Aluminum prices are expected to continue to oscillate strongly. Short - term trends of lead, zinc, tin, nickel, lithium carbonate, alumina, stainless steel, and cast aluminum alloy are also analyzed, with corresponding price ranges provided [2][3][6]. 3. Summary by Metal Copper - **Market Information**: Trade situation is volatile, the US dollar index is weak, and copper prices oscillate upwards. LME copper inventory decreases, domestic electrolytic copper social inventory and bonded area inventory increase slightly, and the spot import loss narrows. The refined - scrap price difference narrows [2]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Overseas copper mine production cuts and reduced domestic refined copper output tighten supply expectations, and short - term price declines may be limited. The reference operating range for the Shanghai copper main contract is 84,500 - 86,000 yuan/ton, and for the LME copper 3M contract is 10,500 - 10,750 US dollars/ton [3]. Aluminum - **Market Information**: Domestic inventory decreases, and the US may introduce an automobile tariff grace period. Aluminum prices are strongly trending. LME aluminum inventory decreases, and domestic aluminum ingot and aluminum rod inventories decline [5]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: With the increase in the domestic aluminum - water ratio, seasonal consumption recovery, and strong exports, the pressure of aluminum ingot inventory accumulation is small, and prices may continue to oscillate strongly. The reference operating range for the Shanghai aluminum main contract is 20,900 - 21,200 yuan/ton, and for the LME aluminum 3M contract is 2,750 - 2,820 US dollars/ton [6]. Lead - **Market Information**: The Shanghai lead index closes slightly lower. LME lead price declines, and domestic social inventory remains unchanged. The refined - scrap price difference is 75 yuan/ton [8]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The apparent lead ore inventory rises slightly, and the production of primary lead smelting remains high. The waste lead inventory declines, and the production of secondary lead smelting is at a low level. The lead ingot factory inventory accumulates. The short - term Shanghai lead is expected to be strong [9]. Zinc - **Market Information**: The Shanghai zinc index closes slightly lower, and the LME zinc price rises. Domestic social inventory accumulates slightly, and the zinc ingot export window opens [10]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Domestic zinc smelting enterprises operate normally during holidays, and most downstream enterprises maintain normal production. The LME registered zinc warehouse receipts are at a low level, and there is still a structural risk. Short - term Shanghai zinc is expected to oscillate at a low level with increased volatility [11]. Tin - **Market Information**: The Shanghai tin main contract price declines slightly. The import of tin ore is at a low level due to slow resumption of production in Myanmar and Indonesia's crackdown on illegal mining. The smelting enterprise operating rate is low, and downstream demand is mixed. The consumption margin improves during the peak season, but high prices still suppress consumption [13]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Short - term supply and demand are in a tight balance, and with the recovery of peak - season demand, tin prices may oscillate at a high level. It is recommended to wait and see. The reference operating range for the domestic main contract is 270,000 - 290,000 yuan/ton, and for overseas LME tin is 34,000 - 36,000 US dollars/ton [14]. Nickel - **Market Information**: Nickel prices oscillate. Spot market transactions are average, and brand premiums rise slightly. Nickel ore prices are stable, nickel - iron prices are weak, and MHP coefficient prices are high [15]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Short - term trade frictions may reduce market risk appetite, but the impact on nickel prices is relatively small. In the short term, weak nickel - iron prices and high refined nickel inventory pressure may drag down nickel prices, but in the long term, there are supporting factors. It is recommended to wait and see, and consider buying on dips if the price drops significantly. The reference operating range for the short - term Shanghai nickel main contract is 115,000 - 128,000 yuan/ton, and for the LME nickel 3M contract is 14,500 - 16,500 US dollars/ton [16][17]. Lithium Carbonate - **Market Information**: The spot index of lithium carbonate rises, and the futures contract price also increases. The market's available spot is tight, and the premium strengthens [19]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Social inventory and exchange warehouse receipts continue to decline. If consumption remains strong and resonates with the macro - environment, lithium prices may break through the upper limit. Short - term strong oscillation is more likely. The reference operating range for the Guangzhou Futures Exchange lithium carbonate 2601 contract is 73,000 - 77,800 yuan/ton [20]. Alumina - **Market Information**: The alumina index declines slightly, and the trading volume increases. The spot price in Shandong drops, and the import window closes. The futures warehouse receipts decrease [22]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Ore prices have short - term support but may face pressure after the rainy season. The over - capacity situation in the alumina smelting end is difficult to change in the short term, and inventory accumulation continues. It is recommended to wait and see for macro - sentiment resonance. The reference operating range for the domestic main contract AO2601 is 2,600 - 3,000 yuan/ton, and attention should be paid to supply - side policies, Guinean ore policies, and the Fed's monetary policy [23]. Stainless Steel - **Market Information**: The stainless steel main contract price rises slightly, and the trading volume increases. Spot prices in different markets show different trends, and raw material prices are stable. Social inventory decreases, but 300 - series inventory increases [25]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: After the holiday, social inventory accumulates significantly, but terminal consumption is flat. The market does not show the characteristics of the traditional peak season. Spot prices decline, and market sentiment is pessimistic. The market trend is expected to be weak [26]. Cast Aluminum Alloy - **Market Information**: The AD2511 contract price rises, the trading volume and open interest increase. The price of domestic mainstream ADC12 is stable, and the inventory of recycled aluminum alloy ingots in the domestic mainstream market decreases [28]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The firm cost provides support for the aluminum alloy price, but the current market sentiment is volatile, and the delivery pressure of the near - month contract is relatively large, limiting the upward price space [29].

Group 1: Report Summary - The report is the daily journal of GOLDTRUST FUTURES CO., LTD, dated October 17, 2025 [1] - It provides analysis and trading suggestions for various futures products including coking coal, stock index futures, gold, iron ore, glass, eggs, and pulp [3][7][10] Group 2: Coking Coal Analysis - Coking coal prices rose 3.36% today due to supply - side disruptions and short - term demand support [3] - Supply - side factors include slow复产 in some areas due to safety inspections and accidents, and restrictions on Mongolian coal imports. Demand - side support comes from high pig iron production and steel mills' replenishment demand [4] - However, the fundamental contradiction of loose supply remains. Domestic coal mine production is high, Mongolian coal imports are increasing, and port inventories are high. Terminal steel consumption has concerns, and if finished product inventory problems worsen, coking coal demand will be suppressed [4] - In the short term, coking coal is expected to oscillate between 1100 - 1250 yuan/ton. Pay attention to over - production verification, Mongolian coal import recovery, and steel demand realization. There is a risk of price decline if the supply - demand situation remains loose [5] Group 3: Technical Analysis of Other Futures Stock Index Futures - The A - share market had a volatile day. The Shanghai Composite Index and the ChiNext Index closed slightly up. The market is expected to oscillate at a high level [8][9] Gold - Shanghai gold reached a new high with large fluctuations. Short - term chasing is not recommended, and low - buying is advisable [12] Iron Ore - After the holiday, the terminal situation has not improved, and pig iron production may decline. Technically, it is in a high - level wide - range oscillation, and high - selling and low - buying are recommended [15] Glass - Daily melting volume has little change, and inventory has been accumulating this week. The future driver depends on policy - side stimulus and anti - involution policies. After a continuous decline, pay attention to the right - side trading opportunity after stabilization [20][21] Eggs - The inventory of laying hens is increasing, and egg supply is sufficient, suppressing price rebounds. However, at current prices and costs, egg - chicken farming is expected to lose 16.90 yuan per chicken. Short - term long opportunities can be grasped [24] Pulp - Pulp prices in Shandong are stable. China's cumulative pulp imports from January to September were 2706 tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.6%. Domestic port inventories are high, and the pulp market is expected to be weak. Rebound - selling is recommended [28]
