Price Analysis - The main contract for industrial silicon showed a fluctuating upward trend this week, with prices rising from 8685 CNY/ton to 8800 CNY/ton, a cumulative increase of approximately 2.19%. The highest price reached 8940 CNY/ton, while the lowest was 8555 CNY/ton, with overall volatility controlled within 4% [2][3] - The spot price for industrial silicon remained stable, with slight increases in some specifications. As of December 25, the price for SMM East China 553 silicon was between 9200-9300 CNY/ton, up 50 CNY/ton week-on-week, while 441 silicon remained stable at 9300-9500 CNY/ton [2][3] Supply Dynamics - Recent trends indicate a reduction in industrial silicon supply, with a current supply still relatively loose under a dual reduction in supply and demand. 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. Short-term focus will be on new silicon wafer prices and January production plans, while long-term attention will be on the implementation of storage policies and inventory reduction progress [10][18]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The focus on nickel and stainless steel in the capital market is due to changes in the news, including Indonesia's 250 million - ton nickel ore quota target and the consideration of including associated minerals like cobalt in the pricing and taxation system [1]. - The nickel price may fluctuate widely in the short - term due to the game between industry and funds. The key to breaking the situation lies in the implementation of Indonesia's nickel ore news in the first quarter. Options can be considered in trading, and short - term attention can be paid to structural arbitrage opportunities [3]. - The stainless steel market has a pattern of weak supply and demand, with the cost support center moving up. The core contradiction lies in the raw material end. The price is likely to oscillate in a range and may not return to previous lows, and the direction will depend on the implementation of Indonesia's policies in the first quarter [5]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 News Impact on Nickel and Stainless Steel - **Quota Event**: If Indonesia's 250 million - ton nickel ore quota is implemented, the expected surplus may turn into a shortage. However, considering the "downstream policy", the implementation time is uncertain, and the first quarter of 2026 is an important window for tracking policy implementation [1]. - **Associated Minerals Event**: Indonesia wants to include cobalt in the pricing and taxation system. It is estimated that the cost of pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy may increase by about 5% - 10% [2]. 3.2 Market Trends - **Nickel**: The previous trading logic was the surplus pressure and the expected commissioning of hydrometallurgy projects. The Indonesian news has increased market volatility. The nickel price will be in a wide - range oscillation pattern in the short - term [3]. - **Stainless Steel**: The fundamentals are weak in both supply and demand, but the cost center has moved up due to the impact of nickel - related factors. The price will oscillate in a range, and the upper - limit increase may be restricted by the actual delivery profit [5]. 3.3 Inventory Tracking - **Refined Nickel**: On December 26, China's refined nickel social inventory decreased by 263 tons to 56,725 tons, while LME nickel inventory increased by 1,146 tons to 255,696 tons [6]. - **New Energy**: On December 26, the inventory days of SMM nickel sulfate upstream, downstream, and integrated production lines changed to 5, 8, and 7 days respectively; the precursor inventory changed to 13.0 days; and on December 25, the ternary material inventory changed to 6.9 days [6]. - **Nickel - Iron - Stainless Steel**: On December 25, the SMM nickel - iron full - industry chain inventory increased by 8% month - on - month to 132,000 metal tons.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Report Core Views Copper - Overseas inventory is structurally imbalanced, and terminal demand is significantly suppressed. Yesterday, copper prices continued to rise, with short - term price fluctuations intensifying. The high copper price is mainly driven by supply and inventory structural imbalances, and the Fed's actions support the price. SMM expects China's electrolytic copper production to rise in December, but high prices suppress demand, leading to inventory accumulation and weak downstream performance. The upward drive lies in further deterioration of overseas inventory structure and improved interest - rate cut expectations, while the downward drive is from weak demand. The short - term price is volatile, with the main focus on the 95,500 support level [1]. Aluminum - Alumina: The market has a supply - demand imbalance with stable supply growth and peaking demand, causing a negative feedback loop. Supply increases, leading to inventory accumulation and price decline. The price is expected to oscillate around the cash - cost line, with a reference range of 2,450 - 2,650 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to environmental policies and enterprise production cuts [3]. - Electrolytic aluminum: The market is in a state of high - level oscillation. Macro - level overseas easing expectations and domestic positive policies support the price, but the supply increases, demand enters the off - season, and inventory accumulates. The price is expected to oscillate widely, with a reference range of 21,800 - 22,600 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to macro - expectations and inventory changes [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy market is in a state of oscillating and strengthening. The core contradiction is the game between strong cost support and weakening demand. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, pushing up costs, while high aluminum prices suppress downstream demand. The ADC12 price is expected to oscillate in a high - level range of 20,800 - 21,600 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to scrap - aluminum supply, environmental policies, and downstream orders [5]. Zinc - TC has stopped falling and stabilized, and terminal demand is weak, so zinc prices are oscillating weakly. Domestic zinc - ore production decreases in November, and the import window opens. Smelters cut production due to profit pressure, and refined - zinc production growth is limited. Downstream demand is generally weak at the end of the year, and social inventory is decreasing. The LME inventory increases, and the squeeze - out risk eases. The main support is at 22,850 - 22,950 [9]. Tin - The supply of tin ore is expected to recover, with increased imports in November and exports from Indonesia. The demand in South China shows some resilience, while that in East China is more restricted. The previous long positions should be gradually closed, and attention should be paid to macro - factors and supply - side recovery [11]. Nickel - The nickel market is in a state of short - term oscillation and repair. The market is trading around the expectation of tightened nickel - ore supply due to news from Indonesia. The domestic spot price falls, and the supply of refined nickel is tight. The price of nickel - iron has stronger bottom support. However, the short - term reality is weak, and the medium - term fundamentals are loose, restricting the upward price space. The main reference range is 123,000 - 130,000 [12]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market is oscillating narrowly. The spot - market trading atmosphere is weak. The macro - environment is favorable, but the market has a strong expectation of tightened ore supply. The price of nickel - iron has stronger bottom support, and the supply pressure eases slightly. However, the demand is in the off - season, and high inventory remains a problem. The market is expected to oscillate and adjust, with a main reference range of 12,500 - [14]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium - carbonate market is in a state of wide - range oscillation. The recent news is abundant, and the fundamentals are in a state of strong supply and demand. The production is expected to increase in December, and the demand has some resilience, but the power - market orders decline in the off - season. The inventory decreases, and the tight - balance fundamentals support the price, but there is limited new driving force [16]. Industrial Silicon - The industrial - silicon market has stable spot prices and oscillating futures prices. The supply and demand are both decreasing steadily, and the expectation of production cuts is rising. The demand from polysilicon is expected to decline significantly. The price is expected to oscillate at a low level, with a main range of 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to the production - cut intensity [18]. Polysilicon - The polysilicon market has stable spot prices and a significant increase in futures prices. The exchange has introduced cooling measures. Upstream enterprises try to boost prices, but downstream profits are under pressure. The demand in the first quarter has no bright spots. The price is expected to remain high and oscillate, and attention should be paid to production cuts and price acceptance [19]. 3.

Report Investment Ratings - PX: Strong upward trend [1][5] - PTA: Strong cost support, upward trend [1][5] - MEG: Limited upside, medium - term pressure [1][6] Core Views - PX's tight supply expectation can't be falsified in the short - term despite polyester plant's planned production cuts, so its unilateral price trend is strong and it squeezes downstream profits [5] - PTA has strong cost support due to PX's strength, with supply tightening and a continued de - stocking pattern, so its unilateral trend is upward [5] - MEG has a medium - term weak trend. Low valuation, high domestic operating rate, high port inventory and polyester production cut expectations limit its price increase [6] Market Data Summary Futures - PX, PTA, PF prices rose yesterday with increases of 0.88%, 1.14%, 0.86% respectively, while SC decreased by 0.45%, and MEG remained unchanged [2] - PX1 - 5, PTA1 - 5, PF12 - 1 month - spreads increased, while MEG1 - 5 and SC11 - 12 decreased [2] Spot - PX CFR China, PTA East China, MEG spot prices rose, while naphtha MOPJ decreased, and Dated Brent increased [2] - PX - naphtha spread and MOPJ naphtha - Dubai crude spread increased, while PTA, short - fiber and bottle - chip processing fees decreased [2] Market Dynamics Summary PTA - This week, Ineos' 1.1 million - ton and Yisheng Ningbo's 2.2 million - ton plants restarted, Yisheng New Materials reduced load, and some plants had short - stops. By Thursday, PTA load was 70.8% [3] MEG - As of December 25, the overall operating load of ethylene glycol in mainland China was 72.15% (up 0.18% from the previous period), and the operating load of ethylene glycol produced by oxalic acid catalytic hydrogenation (syngas) was 76.37% (up 0.91% from the previous period) [3] Polyester - This week, the operating load of large - scale polyester industrial yarn manufacturers remained stable. As of Thursday, the overall theoretical operating load of domestic polyester industrial yarn was about 75%. (Since January 2025, the production capacity base of polyester industrial yarn has been adjusted to 3.28 million tons) [3] - One polyester filament plant is shutting down, one filament plant restarted and produced normally, and one new bottle - chip plant produced products. In addition, three major polyester filament manufacturers cut production collectively, involving load reduction of some polyester plants [3] - Since December 1, 2025, the polyester production capacity in mainland China has been revised up to 89.84 million tons, with new 300,000 - ton plants of Xinjiang Yuxin and Anhui Youshun. As of Thursday, the polyester load in mainland China was about 89.7% [5] Trend Intensity - PX trend intensity: 1 - PTA trend intensity: 1 - MEG trend intensity: 0 [5] Views and Suggestions PX - Pay attention to long PX short PF/PR/BZ/EB positions and 5 - 9 positive spreads [5] PTA - Go long on PTA, short PF/PR/MEG/BZ/EB, hold positive spreads [5] MEG - Medium - term trend is weak, upside is limited [6]

Core Viewpoint - The rebar steel futures prices have shown a low-level fluctuation since December, with the main contract oscillating between 3030 and 3180 yuan/ton, recently returning to the upper end of this range. However, the spot prices have followed suit but are limited by weak downstream demand entering the off-season [1] Group 1: Short-term Positive Factors - The recent rebound in rebar futures prices is supported by three main positive factors: first, renewed policy expectations have strengthened the "anti-involution" trading logic, leading to a strong rise in related varieties and boosting overall market sentiment [1] - Second, raw material prices have stabilized, particularly iron ore prices, which have shown strong performance, supporting steel price trends from the cost side [1] - Third, under low supply conditions, inventory pressure has significantly eased [1] Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - Despite the low supply situation providing some support for steel prices, the fundamental conditions for rebar steel have not shown substantial improvement, continuing a weak supply-demand balance. Near the end of the year, production willingness among construction steel mills has weakened, with the latest weekly output at 1.8168 million tons, remaining at a low level compared to previous years, down 20.27% year-on-year [1] - The apparent demand for rebar steel is currently at 2.0864 million tons, which, although increased by 55,500 tons week-on-week, is still at one of the lowest levels in recent years, down 7.42% year-on-year. Other demand indicators, such as daily transactions and cement outflow, are also at low levels, indicating weak construction-related demand [2] Group 3: Cost Support and Supply Pressure - Although iron ore prices remain high, providing some cost support for steel, the supply-demand dynamics for iron ore are weak, making prices susceptible to downward pressure. If iron ore prices decline, the cost support for steel prices will weaken [3] - On the supply side, domestic port arrivals and miner shipments are at high levels for the year. Cumulatively, iron ore shipments have increased by over 45 million tons year-on-year, while domestic port arrivals have only increased by 1.912 million tons, indicating a significant discrepancy [3] - Overall, while short-term positive factors have pushed rebar steel prices back to the upper end of the fluctuation range, the weak supply-demand balance remains unchanged, and under off-season conditions, the upward driving force for steel prices is insufficient [3]
