Industrial silicon, fuel oil, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) rose over 1%, while lithium carbonate and polysilicon dropped over 4%. In the stock index futures market, the CSI 300 and SSE 50 index futures contracts rose, while the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 index futures contracts declined.

Core Views 2.1 Copper - The US labor data was weak, but considering the low - level inventory in the fundamentals and the expected improvement during the peak season, copper is expected to fluctuate strongly [9]. 2.2 Crude Oil - In the medium - to - long - term, it is recommended to short on rallies as the supply - demand situation will weaken. In the short - term, it is advised to partially close out short positions due to the release of negative news and geopolitical risks [11]. 2.3 Asphalt - With weak supply and demand, and the futures price reaching the lower limit of the oscillation range, it is recommended to close out short positions [13]. 2.4 PP - It is expected to oscillate with limited downside space as the downstream enters the peak season, but the impact of policies to solve over - capacity remains to be seen [14]. 2.5 Plastic - It is expected to oscillate with limited downside space as the demand of the agricultural film sector is expected to increase, but the impact of policies to solve over - capacity remains to be seen [15][16]. 2.6 PVC - It is expected to oscillate downward due to high supply, weak demand, and large inventory pressure, and the impact of policies to solve over - capacity remains to be seen [17]. 2.7 Urea - The market is weak, with high inventory and lackluster demand, and the price is bottoming out [19]. 3. Industry - Specific Analysis 3.1 Copper - The monthly average non - farm employment in the US decreased by 76,000, and the smelting fees and sulfuric acid prices in the copper market are not favorable for smelters. Five smelters plan to conduct maintenance in September, and the import of copper may affect the domestic market. Although it is the off - season, the investment in power grid facilities boosts demand, and there is an expected improvement during the peak season [9]. 3.2 Crude Oil - It is at the end of the seasonal travel peak. EIA and IEA have raised the forecast of global oil surplus. OPEC+ plans to increase production in October, and Saudi Aramco has lowered the price. The trade relationship between the US and India may affect the global oil trade flow. The end of the consumption peak season and weak employment data may lead to weak demand [10][11]. 3.3 Asphalt - The asphalt production rate continued to decline last week, but the planned production in September increased. The downstream industry's production rate mostly decreased, and the shipment volume decreased. The refinery inventory decreased but remained at a low level. The increase in oil production by OPEC+ and the decline in oil prices weakened the cost support [12][13]. 3.4 PP - The downstream production rate increased slightly, and the enterprise production rate remained stable. The new production capacity was put into operation, and the cost increased due to geopolitical risks. The downstream is entering the peak season, but the impact of policies to solve over - capacity remains to be seen [14]. 3.5 Plastic - The production rate increased due to the restart of some devices, and the downstream production rate also increased. The new production capacity was put into operation, and the demand of the agricultural film sector is expected to increase. The impact of policies to solve over - capacity remains to be seen [15][16]. 3.6 PVC - The upstream calcium carbide price increased in some areas, and the production rate increased. The downstream production rate was still low, and the export was affected by policies. The inventory was high, and the real - estate market was still in adjustment. New production capacity was put into operation, and the demand has not improved significantly [17]. 3.7 Urea - The price opened low and fluctuated. The upstream factory price declined, and the market sentiment was cautious. The supply was abundant, and the demand was weak. The inventory continued to increase [19].

Group 1: Overview of Actions - The current comprehensive rectification of involution is a continuation and deepening of the supply-side structural reform initiated in November 2015[1] - The root cause of both actions is the overcapacity resulting from chaotic capital expansion, with the previous reform targeting upstream raw materials and the current action focusing on downstream manufacturing[2] - The previous reform utilized administrative orders to control production, while the current action requires industry self-regulation and detailed management due to the diversity of enterprises involved[2] Group 2: Economic Indicators and Market Trends - The Producer Price Index (PPI) is a crucial indicator of economic health, showing a correlation with stock market trends, particularly the CSI 300 index[3] - Historical analysis indicates that from 2014 to 2015, the stock market rose despite declining PPI, leading to a market correction when the fundamentals returned[3] - As of August 2025, the PPI's year-on-year decline has narrowed, indicating positive changes that may support stock market growth[3] Group 3: Investment Opportunities - The comprehensive rectification action is expected to transform and boost the Chinese economy, particularly benefiting emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaics, as well as traditional industries like steel and coal[4] - This action is anticipated to create a series of investment opportunities in sectors historically plagued by overcapacity[4] Group 4: Risks and Challenges - The transition towards a non-involutionary development model involves significant changes in development concepts and institutional frameworks, which may be a lengthy and complex process[5] - Local governments and enterprises may face difficulties and resistance in implementing these reforms effectively[5]

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese lithium mine, which had halted production, is preparing to resume operations faster than expected, leading to a decline in the stock prices of major battery metal producers [1][2]. Group 1: Production Resumption - The Jianshawa lithium mine, a key project in Yichun, China, is set to resume production, which is seen as a market sentiment indicator [1]. - Despite the expiration of the mining license causing a previous halt, there are indications that production may restart sooner than anticipated [1]. Group 2: Market Impact - The announcement of the mine's planned resumption has resulted in significant stock price drops for major lithium producers, with SQM and Albemarle experiencing declines of 8.8% and 11% respectively [1]. - Analysts from Jefferies noted that the early resumption of the Jianshawa mine could disrupt the market rebalancing process in the short term [1]. Group 3: Regulatory Context - The halt in production was initially interpreted as part of a national policy to control overcapacity, reflecting a shift towards supply-side discipline [1]. - There is ongoing uncertainty regarding the issuance of a new mining license by local authorities, although the company anticipates an early recovery of production [1].
