Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The steel market is characterized by weak supply and demand, with the supply contraction less than the demand decline. Long - process steel mills have a decent profit rate and stable supply, while short - process electric furnace steel mills are suffering increasing losses and reduced supply. Affected by the autumn - winter environmental protection production restrictions, steel supply is expected to continue to shrink [4]. - In October, the peak season for steel demand did not live up to expectations. Real estate development investment continued to decline, and infrastructure investment growth also slowed down, leading to limited steel demand. The core contradiction on the demand side lies in the continuous contraction of the real estate industry chain. In November, steel demand enters the traditional off - season, and the demand for construction steel will significantly shrink [4]. - In the next month, the steel supply pressure remains high, and demand will gradually weaken. With recent policy benefits being implemented, the macro - sentiment is stabilizing. Fundamentally, the weak reality pattern is hard to change. Overall, steel supply and demand are both weak, inventory pressure remains, and steel prices are expected to fluctuate weakly. The reference range for rebar is 2900 - 3150 yuan/ton [4]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. Market Review - In October, steel futures fluctuated, first falling and then rising, showing an overall weak trend. At the beginning of the month, steel prices were pressured by weak fundamentals. In the middle of the month, they rebounded due to improved macro - expectations. After the macro - benefits were realized, the focus returned to fundamentals. The overall steel market was in a low - level oscillation pattern due to the game between reality and expectations [9]. 2. Steel Fundamental Analysis Supply is Expected to Shrink - The newly revised "Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry" aims to optimize the industrial structure and promote green and low - carbon transformation. It strengthens capacity replacement ratio requirements, encourages low - carbon processes, and standardizes replacement procedures [16]. - In October, steel supply and demand were both weak, but the supply contraction was less than the demand decline. Long - process steel mills had stable supply, while short - process steel mills' supply continued to shrink. Affected by environmental protection production restrictions and losses, steel supply is expected to continue to contract [17]. High Steel Inventory Pressure - In October, steel inventories increased slightly, with a rapid increase after the National Day holiday and then a slow decline. The inventory pressure on hot - rolled coils is significantly higher than that on rebar. If demand does not improve substantially, inventory contradictions may intensify [19]. Weak Demand in the Peak Season - In October, the steel demand in the peak season was weak. The real estate industry continued to decline, infrastructure investment growth slowed down, and overseas steel exports decreased month - on - month. In November, steel demand will enter the off - season, and construction steel demand will shrink significantly [26]. Reduced Macro - impact - Overseas, the Fed cut interest rates in October and will end the balance - sheet reduction. Sino - US tariff relations eased. Domestically, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee put forward the main goals for economic and social development during the 15th Five - Year Plan period [30]. - The real estate industry remained sluggish, and infrastructure investment growth continued to slow down. Manufacturing steel demand was structurally differentiated, with the automobile and home appliance industries showing resilience. Steel exports remained resilient but declined month - on - month [31][37]. 3. Market Outlook - The steel market will continue to face weak supply and demand in the future. Supply pressure remains high, and demand will gradually weaken. Policy benefits are being implemented, but the weak fundamental pattern is hard to change. Steel prices are expected to fluctuate weakly, with the rebar reference range at 2900 - 3150 yuan/ton [40].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the soda ash futures declined by 0.49%, and the glass futures dropped by 0.92%. The soda ash futures showed a volatile trend. Affected by the market's interest - rate cut expectation, the price first rose and then weakened due to the expectation of increased production. The glass market had a similar trend to the soda ash market, but due to the sluggish real - estate sentiment, the decline of glass was more significant than that of soda ash. It is expected that next week, the soda ash price will mainly show a volatile and weakening trend, and the glass price will also face challenges due to supply and demand factors [6]. - For soda ash, the current operation of soda ash plants is relatively stable with no large - scale maintenance plans, and the overall production remains at a relatively high level. New production capacities such as those of Yuangxing Energy Phase II and Yingcheng Xindu Chemical are expected to be put into operation in December, which will further exacerbate the future oversupply situation. The demand from the float glass industry is mainly for daily production needs, and the short - term demand pull from photovoltaic glass is limited. For glass, the supply has shown an upward trend due to the restart of some cold - repaired production lines, but the "coal - to - gas" policy in the Shahe area and the policy of restricting new production capacity may relieve the marginal supply pressure. The demand from the real - estate industry is weak, and although the automobile industry provides some support, it cannot offset the negative impact of the real - estate demand decline [6]. - For trading strategies, it is recommended to trade the SA2601 contract in the range of 1200 - 1260, with stop - loss set at 1180 - 1300. For the FG2601 contract, it is recommended to operate in the range of 1080 - 1130, with stop - loss set at 1060 - 1150 [6]. Summary by Directory 1. Week - on - Week Summary - **Market Review**: Soda ash futures fell 0.49% and glass futures fell 0.92% this week. Soda ash first rose under the interest - rate cut expectation and then weakened due to production increase expectation. Glass followed a similar trend but declined more due to real - estate sentiment [6]. - **Market Outlook**: Soda ash supply is expected to increase with new capacities coming online in December, and demand is relatively stable with limited short - term pull from photovoltaic glass. Glass supply may face short - term contraction due to policies, and demand from real - estate is weak while the automobile industry provides some support [6]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Trade SA2601 in the 1200 - 1260 range with stop - loss at 1180 - 1300, and operate FG2601 in the 1080 - 1130 range with stop - loss at 1060 - 1150 [6] 2. Futures and Spot Markets - **Futures Prices**: Both soda ash and glass futures prices declined this week [8]. - **Spot Prices**: Soda ash spot prices remained flat, and the basis was stable. As of October 30, 2025, the mainstream price of heavy - soda ash in the Shahe market was 1185 yuan/ton, and the basis was - 50 yuan/ton. Glass spot prices weakened, and the basis also weakened but is expected to stabilize in the future. As of October 30, 2025, the price of 5.0mm large - plate glass in the Shahe market was 1048 yuan/ton, and the basis was - 43 yuan/ton [14][19][22]. - **Price Spread**: The soda ash - glass price spread strengthened this week and is expected to continue strengthening next week. As of October 30, 2025, the glass - soda ash price spread was 144 yuan/ton [24][26] 3. Industry Chain Analysis - **Production and Operation**: The domestic soda ash operating rate and production increased this week. As of October 30, 2025, the national soda ash operating rate was 86.78% (up 3.3% week - on - week), and the weekly production was 75.76 tons (up 2.3% week - on - week). The number of cold - repaired glass production lines remained unchanged, and the overall production was stable. The production capacity utilization rate and daily melting volume of photovoltaic glass decreased [28][42][49]. - **Profit and Cost**: Soda ash enterprise profits declined, with negative profits affecting future production. Glass enterprise profits also decreased due to weakening spot prices and increased costs. As of October 30, 2025, the theoretical profit of soda ash by the dual - tonnage joint - soda process was - 180 yuan/ton, and the theoretical profit of soda ash by the ammonia - soda process was - 126 yuan/ton. The weekly average profit of float glass using different fuels all decreased [35][40]. - **Inventory and Demand**: Soda ash enterprise inventories decreased slightly due to weak downstream demand and the decline in photovoltaic glass production. Glass enterprise inventories also decreased, but the inventory reduction is expected to slow down next week. The downstream deep - processing orders for glass increased slightly, but the demand remained low. As of October 15, 2025, the average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises were 10.4 days [53][57][61]
