Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article emphasizes the need for monetary policy to promote reasonable price recovery in the context of low CPI and PPI levels, with recent data showing a slight increase in CPI and a narrowing decline in PPI [2][3] - The National Bureau of Statistics indicates that despite positive changes in consumer prices, market demand remains insufficient, necessitating further expansion of domestic demand and improvement of supply-demand relationships [2] - The People's Bank of China has shifted its monetary policy focus from merely maintaining economic stability to actively guiding economic growth and price levels, reflecting a proactive approach to managing inflation [2][3] Group 2 - The article discusses the importance of stabilizing prices as a key monetary policy goal, highlighting the need for a balance between inflation targets and economic development levels [3][4] - Experts suggest that the current low price levels indicate insufficient effective demand, and there is a call for coordinated monetary and fiscal policies to address this issue [4][5] - The article notes that the CPI target has been set at 2% for the first time since 2004, aligning with the inflation targets of major economies, which is seen as appropriate given the current economic context [4][5] Group 3 - Maintaining a moderate growth in price levels is crucial for stabilizing consumer expectations and preventing a downward spiral in demand due to deflationary pressures [5] - Setting overly ambitious short-term policy goals, such as a 3% CPI growth, may not effectively guide expectations and could signal a lack of concern for price stability [5] - The article emphasizes the role of active fiscal policy in directly addressing total demand shortages, while monetary policy should complement these efforts to enhance overall policy effectiveness [5]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overseas, after the end of the longest government shutdown in US history, the market shifted its focus to key US economic data. Concerns about inflation and differences among Fed policymakers regarding the health of the US economy led to a reduced expectation of interest rate cuts. Additionally, several Fed officials adopted a hawkish stance before the release of major economic data, causing an increase in US Treasury yields and a significant decline in global risk appetite. Domestically, China's manufacturing prosperity level declined in October, and exports unexpectedly decreased, leading to a slowdown in economic growth and dampening optimistic expectations to some extent. However, China's inflation data in October unexpectedly recovered and rebounded, with the supply - side continuing to exert efforts. Policy - wise, the central bank restarted Treasury bond trading operations to release liquidity into the market, and the domestic monetary policy was intensified, along with abundant liquidity, which boosted domestic risk appetite. The recent market trading logic mainly focuses on domestic incremental stimulus policies and the quality of economic growth. The short - term macro upward driving force has increased, and the stock index is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term. [3] - In terms of assets, the stock index is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term, and it is advisable to cautiously go long in the short term. Treasury bonds are expected to rebound with short - term fluctuations, and it is advisable to cautiously go long. Among commodity sectors, the black sector is expected to be volatile in the short term, and it is advisable to cautiously observe; the non - ferrous sector is expected to be volatile in the short term, and it is advisable to cautiously go long; the energy and chemical sector is expected to be volatile in the short term, and it is advisable to cautiously observe; precious metals are expected to rebound with short - term fluctuations, and it is advisable to cautiously go long. [3] Summary by Related Catalogs Macro - Overseas: After the end of the government shutdown, the market focused on key economic data. Inflation concerns and differences among Fed officials reduced the expectation of interest rate cuts. Fed officials' hawkish remarks before major data releases led to an increase in US Treasury yields and a decline in global risk appetite. [3] - Domestic: In October, China's manufacturing prosperity declined, and exports unexpectedly decreased, slowing economic growth. However, inflation data unexpectedly recovered, and the supply - side continued to work. The central bank restarted Treasury bond trading to release liquidity, and the monetary policy was intensified, boosting domestic risk appetite. The market trading logic focuses on domestic incremental policies and economic growth. The short - term macro upward driving force has increased, and the stock index is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger. [3] Stock Index - Driven by sectors such as energy metals, batteries, and industrial metals, the domestic stock market rose significantly. Fundamentally, China's manufacturing prosperity declined in October, and exports unexpectedly decreased, slowing economic growth and dampening optimism. However, inflation data unexpectedly recovered, and the supply - side continued to work. Policy - wise, the central bank's actions boosted domestic risk appetite. The short - term macro upward driving force has increased, and the stock index is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term. It is advisable to cautiously go long in the short term. [3][4] Precious Metals - On Thursday night, the precious metals market rose overall. The main contract of Shanghai gold closed at 956.96 yuan/gram, up 0.11%; the main contract of Shanghai silver closed at 12405 yuan/kilogram, up 0.40%. Due to the sell - off in the market after the US government reopened and several Fed officials' hawkish remarks, precious metals were under some pressure in the short term. Spot gold fell 0.65% to $4171.1 per ounce. Precious metals are expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term, and the medium - to - long - term upward trend remains unchanged. It is advisable to cautiously go long in the short term and buy on dips in the medium - to - long term. [4] Black Metals - **Steel**: On Thursday, the domestic steel spot market rebounded slightly, while the futures price continued to be weak. The stock market's rise boosted market sentiment. Fundamentally, real - world demand continued to weaken, but the decline in this week's data slowed down. The apparent consumption of five major steel products decreased by about 6300 tons week - on - week. On the supply side, due to steel mill losses, steel production capacity was further restricted, and the output of five major steel products decreased by 22360 tons week - on - week. In the short term, the steel market will continue to fluctuate within a range, and the room for further decline below 3000 points for rebar is limited. [7] - **Iron Ore**: On Thursday, the futures and spot prices of iron ore continued to fluctuate. Steel mill losses continued, and iron - water production is expected to decline further. However, with the improvement of market sentiment, the market has started to bet on the bottom of iron - water production. On the supply side, this week's iron ore shipments decreased by 144800 tons week - on - week, and arrivals decreased by 477200 tons week - on - week. However, port inventories increased by 195000 tons on Monday, indicating an oversupply of ore. Although the Simandou iron ore mine has been put into production, it will take time to have a substantial impact on the domestic market. Currently, the key factors determining the iron ore price are the process of the decline in iron - water production and when the bottom will appear. It is advisable to view iron ore with a range - bound trading idea in the short term. [7] - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: On Thursday, the spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese remained flat. The futures price of silicon iron rebounded slightly, while that of silicon manganese weakened. The output of five major steel products decreased slightly, leading to a decline in ferroalloy demand. The price of silicon manganese 6517 in the northern market is 5570 - 5620 yuan/ton, and in the southern market is 5580 - 5630 yuan/ton. Hebei Iron and Steel Group's first inquiry price for silicon manganese in November is 5750 yuan/ton, and other steel mills are following suit. The spot price of manganese ore is firm. The mainstream price of semi - carbonate in Tianjin Port is 34.5 yuan/ton - degree, the price of South African high - iron manganese ore is 29.8 - 30 yuan/ton - degree, the price of Gabonese manganese ore is 40.5 yuan/ton - degree, and the price of Australian lump ore is in the range of 39.5 - 41 yuan/ton - degree, with slow - growing transactions. The supply of silicon manganese decreased slightly. The operating rate (capacity utilization) of 187 independent silicon manganese enterprises in the country is 40.24%, a decrease of 2.75% from last week; the daily output is 28840 tons, a decrease of 835 tons. The cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron in the main production areas is 5100 - 5200 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron is 5700 yuan/ton. The price of raw material semi - coke is stable. The price of medium - sized semi - coke in Shenmu market is 850 - 920 yuan/ton, the price of small - sized semi - coke is 800 - 850 yuan/ton, and the price of coke powder is 530 - 630 yuan/ton. The supply of silicon iron increased slightly. The operating rate (capacity utilization) of 136 independent silicon iron enterprises in the country is 36.26%, a 0.18% increase from last week; the daily output is 16300 tons, a 0.80% increase (130 tons) from last week. The futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese are expected to continue to fluctuate within a range. [8] Non - ferrous and New Energy - **Copper**: The US copper inventory continued to rise, approaching 380000 short tons, a historical high, which restricts future import demand. There is a possibility of the Panama copper mine restarting. In China, the destocking of refined copper was less than expected. As of November 13, the social copper inventory was 201100 tons, a 5200 - ton increase from the previous period, still at a relatively high level and the highest in three years. The shutdown of Indonesia's second - largest copper mine has intensified the global copper mine shortage, which will support the futures price. It is expected to be volatile at a high level in the short term. [9] - **Aluminum**: On Thursday, Shanghai aluminum continued to rise, reaching a three - and - a - half - year high, boosted by the optimistic sentiment after the end of the US government shutdown. Technically, all time frames are in an overbought state, and the hourly chart shows a long upper shadow line, indicating a possible short - term hourly - level correction, while the daily - level trend is unclear. Fundamentally, there is no change, and inventory destocking is still not going well. Although the 620000 - ton inventory is not high, it is not low either. In addition, the arrival of goods at Port Klang led to an increase of 9125 tons in LME aluminum inventory. The market is still worried about future supply, with a tight supply expectation. The market is trading based on expectations and temporarily ignoring the fundamentals. However, as the off - season approaches, the market will eventually return to reality. Aluminum prices are expected to be strong and volatile in the short term, but if the expectations are revised later and combined with real - world pressure, aluminum prices will face a significant correction. [10] - **Tin**: On Thursday, the tin price reached a three - and - a - half - year high, driven by macro sentiment and supply concerns. On the supply side, the maintenance of a large - scale smelting enterprise in Yunnan has ended, and the combined operating rate of smelters in Yunnan and Jiangxi has slightly increased to 69.13%. The actual shortage of tin ore in the mine end continues. Although the mining licenses in Wa State, Myanmar, have been issued, due to the local rainy season and the slow actual resumption of production, the tin ore export volume is still far below the normal level and cannot effectively make up for the current supply gap. On the demand side, the peak season is not prosperous. The operating rate of tin solder in October decreased slightly and remained at a low level. Traditional industries such as consumer electronics and home appliances have weak demand and insufficient orders. The pre - installation in the photovoltaic sector in the early stage has overdrawn the later - stage installation demand, and the photovoltaic installation has almost halved since June. After the continuous decline, the social inventory of tin ingots has increased by 349 tons to 7033 tons, mainly due to the combined effect of the increase in supply from the resumption of maintenance and the relatively weak downstream demand. The tin price is at a historical high, and the inhibitory effect of high prices on physical demand has begun to appear. The spot market's acceptance of the current price level is limited, and it is mainly for just - in - time replenishment. In summary, the tin price has support in the medium - to - short term, but the inhibitory effect of high prices on consumption limits the upward space. It is expected to remain volatile at a high level, and risks should be noted. [11] - **Lithium Carbonate**: On Thursday, the main contract of lithium carbonate 2601 rose 1.39%, with the latest settlement price at 88360 yuan/ton. The weighted contract added 33853 lots, and the total open interest was 1.0373 million lots. The price of battery - grade lithium carbonate quoted by Steel Union is 87750 yuan/ton (a 1700 - yuan increase from the previous period). The latest CIF price of Australian spodumene is 1050 US dollars/ton (a 30 - dollar increase from the previous period). The production profit of purchasing spodumene is - 907 yuan/ton. On November 6, the evaluation report of the mining right transfer income of Jianxiawo was publicly announced, which may be regarded as the active promotion of the resumption of production in Jianxiawo. The market quickly digested the negative news, and the demand logic still prevails. It is expected to be strong and volatile, but attention should be paid to the repeated disturbances on the supply side and hedging pressure. [12] - **Industrial Silicon**: On Thursday, the main contract of industrial silicon 2601 fell 0.22%, with the latest settlement price at 9180 yuan/ton. The weighted contract's open interest was 267800 lots, adding 41.84 lots. The price of oxygen - containing 553 industrial silicon in East China is 9500 yuan/ton (unchanged from the previous period), and the futures price is at a discount of 355 yuan/ton. After the end of the wet season, the production of industrial silicon in Southwest China has significantly decreased. The demand is relatively stable, and the overall situation is one of weak supply and demand. Attention should be paid to whether effective destocking can be achieved during the dry season. It is expected that the market will fluctuate within a range. Attention should be paid to the cash - flow cost support of large enterprises, and it is advisable to operate within the range and buy on dips. [12] - **Polysilicon**: On Thursday, the main contract of polysilicon 2601 rose 3.69%, with the latest settlement price at 53940 yuan/ton. The weighted contract's open interest was 144000 lots, adding 2397 lots. The latest price of N - type re -投料 is 51500 yuan/ton (unchanged from the previous period). The price of N - type silicon wafers is 1.3 yuan/piece (a 0.1 - yuan increase from the previous period), the price of single - crystal Topcon battery cells (M10) is 0.305 yuan/watt (unchanged from the previous period), and the price of N - type components (centralized): 182mm is 0.67 yuan/watt (unchanged from the previous period). The number of polysilicon warehouse receipts is 9130 lots (a 720 - lot decrease from the previous period). There is a stalemate between strong policy expectations and weak reality. There is still support for the spot price of polysilicon under policy expectations, but weak terminal demand makes it difficult for downstream prices to rise. The recent rumor of polysilicon stockpiling has caused disturbances. It is expected that polysilicon will be volatile at a high level, and it is advisable to buy on dips. [13][14] Energy and Chemical - **Methanol**: The inland methanol market remained stable, and the basis of the port methanol market remained stable and slightly weak. The spot negotiation price is 2065 - 2070 yuan/ton, with a basis of about 01 - 40/ - 35; the negotiation price for November delivery is 2085 - 2087 yuan/ton, with a basis of about 01 - 20/ - 18; the negotiation price for December delivery is 2115 - 2118 yuan/ton, with a basis of about 01 + 10/+13. As of November 12, 2025, the total methanol port inventory in China was 1.5436 million tons, a 56500 - ton increase from the previous period. Among them, the inventory in East China increased by 64900 tons, while the inventory in South China decreased by 8400 tons. The production enterprise inventory was 369300 tons, a 17200 - ton decrease from the previous period, a 4.44% decline. Both the inland and port areas have seen inventory increases. The deterioration of the inland supply - demand situation has made the price lose support and continue to decline. Downstream demand has weakened, and inland plants are restarting. The fundamental pressure is still large, with a downward driving force. However, the firm and rising coal price is squeezing methanol profits, and the price is approaching the import cost. Iranian plants are planned to shut down in mid - November, which provides some support in terms of expectations. The real - world situation still needs substantial improvement. It is expected that the price will continue to decline with fluctuations in the near future, but the decline rate may slow down, and the decline space is limited. [15] - **PP**: The offer price is mainly in a weak and volatile state. The mainstream price of East China drawstring PP is 6330 - 6580 yuan/ton. According to Longzhong Information on November 13, the polyolefin inventory of the two major state - owned petrochemical companies is 665000 tons, a 25000 - ton decrease from the previous day. As of November 12, 2025, the sample inventory of polypropylene ports increased by 2300 tons from the previous period, a 3.56% increase, and the inventory has increased compared with last week. The inventory of sample trading enterprises decreased by 15100 tons from the previous period (November 5, 2025), a 6.61% decrease. Currently, although the demand for polypropylene has improved, the supply growth rate is too fast, leading to an increase in inventory. As the traditional off - season approaches, demand is expected to gradually weaken, while the supply will remain at a high level due to plant restarts. The market fundamentals are under pressure. Coupled with the weak and volatile crude oil price, the cost support is insufficient. It is expected that the polypropylene price will continue to decline. [16]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found. 2.
