1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Rebar**: The main contract price of rebar oscillated downward with a daily decline of 0.85%. The fundamentals are weak, with industrial contradictions accumulating, high inventory de - stocking pressure under weak demand, and steel prices under pressure. Cost support is a relative positive factor. It is expected that steel prices will continue to oscillate and find the bottom, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4][35]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated weakly, with a daily decline of 0.86%. Currently, supply is high, demand has potential risks, industrial contradictions are accumulating, inventory de - stocking pressure is large, and prices are under pressure. There is a need to guard against the intensification of industrial contradictions caused by weakening demand, and attention should be paid to demand performance [4][35]. - **Iron ore**: The main contract price of iron ore trended weakly, with a daily decline of 1.46%. Supply pressure remains, market sentiment has weakened, and high - valued ore prices have declined under pressure. However, high - level rigid demand for ore provides support, and there is resistance to downward movement. Before steel mills reduce production, ore prices are expected to continue to oscillate at a high level, and attention should be paid to steel performance [4][36]. 3.

Supply pressure has increased. Before steel mills reduce production, ore prices are expected to continue to oscillate at a high level, with attention paid to steel performance [36]

Report Summary 1. Report Information - Research Variety: Industrial silicon [1] - Report Cycle: Daily report [1] - Date: October 9, 2025 [1] 2. Investment Rating - Not provided 3. Core View - The industry is in a pattern of increasing supply and demand, but inventory depletion has significantly slowed down, and there are signs of inventory accumulation, indicating that the fundamentals have turned loose. Considering the different supply changes in the two major production areas and the uncertainty of the demand for polysilicon in the core consumption direction, there is no obvious unilateral driver in the market, and the futures price may fluctuate around the cost line [10]. 4. Section Summaries 4.1 Futures Market - **Contract Market**: On October 9, 2025, the industrial silicon si2511 contract rose and then fell, closing with a negative line. The trading volume decreased significantly, with a full - day trading volume of 210,531 lots and an open interest of 176,563 lots [2]. - **Variety Price**: The total open interest of 12 industrial silicon futures contracts was 407,790 lots, an increase of 8,057 lots compared with the previous trading day. Among them, the open interest of the active contract si2511 increased by 2,165 lots [4]. 4.2 Influencing Factors - **Industry News**: In the southwest production area, as the wet season is coming to an end, the smelting electricity price is facing an increase, leading to higher production costs. In the north production area, the electricity price is relatively stable throughout the year due to the use of coal - fired power. After the anti - involution, the profit is acceptable. Against the background of the planned production cut in the southwest, large factories in Xinjiang may have the expectation of further increasing production, which makes the market worried that the supply is unlikely to decline significantly [6]. - **Technical Analysis**: The industrial silicon futures rose and then fell today. The main 2511 contract formed a doji pattern with long upper and lower shadows. The trading volume decreased significantly, and the open interest increased slightly. Both the long and short sides continued to wait and see. From the daily chart, the futures price formed a doji pattern with long upper and lower shadows below the 50 - day moving average. It is expected that the market will fluctuate weakly in the future [7]. 4.3 Market Outlook - The industry is in a situation of increasing supply and demand, but inventory depletion has slowed down, and there are signs of inventory accumulation. The fundamentals have become looser. Given the different supply changes in the two major production areas and the uncertain demand for polysilicon, there is no clear one - way driving force in the market, and the futures price may fluctuate around the cost line [10].

Core Viewpoint - The short fiber futures market is experiencing a weak fluctuation, with the main contract showing a decline of 1.50% as of the latest update, indicating a bearish sentiment in the market [1][2]. Group 1: Market Performance - As of October 10, the main short fiber futures contract reached a low of 6176.00 yuan and is currently priced at 6180.00 yuan, reflecting a drop of 1.50% [1]. - The trading range for direct-spun polyester short fiber is maintained between 6300 to 6550 yuan, with limited inventory increase during the holiday period [2]. Group 2: Institutional Insights - New Lake Futures suggests that the absolute price of short fiber will follow cost trends, with a stable factory quotation and a sales average of 67% [2]. - Donghai Futures indicates that the short fiber market will continue to follow the polyester sector's adjustments, with limited upward potential due to seasonal order increases being modest [3].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. Core Views Steel Industry - During the holiday, steel prices were stable, and rebounded slightly after the holiday. Steel production decreased slightly, and inventory increased significantly due to stagnant demand. The supply - demand gap narrowed at the end of September. In October after the holiday, demand is expected to recover seasonally, and inventory is expected to decline seasonally. The steel export volume remained high on the 6th, and short - term supply and demand are basically balanced with little inventory pressure. The prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil in January contracts should focus on the support levels of 3050 and 3200 respectively. Unilateral trading has no obvious driver. For arbitrage, reverse spreads on monthly differentials should be considered when they are high, and the spread between hot - rolled coil and rebar should converge [3]. Iron Ore Industry - On the first trading day after the holiday, iron ore prices fluctuated and rose, mainly due to the peak - season expectation in October, high iron - making water production, and concerns about Australian ore supply. There are many disturbances on the supply side, but the overseas iron ore swap prices follow the domestic trend. Iron ore has the driving force to rebound, but the upward space depends on steel prices to give steel mills profits. Attention should be paid to the actual arrival volume of BHP shipments [5]. Coke and Coking Coal Industry - After the holiday, coke and coking coal futures rebounded from the bottom, showing a divergence between futures and spot prices. The coke market is expected to have another round of price increases, but may face downward pressure due to falling steel prices and compressed steel mill profits. The coking coal market is expected to be weak, but futures have advanced the rebound expectation due to supply - side disturbances. For trading strategies, long positions can be taken at low prices for coking coal 2601, reverse spreads can be considered for coke 1 - 5, and out - of - the - money call options for coke 2601 can be bought at low prices [8][9].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information is provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - Futures prices of polyolefins opened higher, fluctuated, and rose slightly. Some traders tentatively raised their quotes, but spot prices showed mixed trends.
