Group 1: Gold Futures Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoint - The overall trend of Shanghai Gold futures is in an upward channel and may be at the end of the trend. The price showed a volatile pattern of "soaring - retracting - recovering" this week due to the "expectation gap" after the Fed's interest rate cut and the offset of high inventory by central bank gold purchases and ETF fund inflows. In the long - term, the weakening of the US dollar credit, continuous central bank gold purchases, and geopolitical risks drive the price, with surging investment demand providing multiple supports [7]. Summary by Directory 1. Mid - line Market Analysis - **Trend Judgment**: The overall trend of Shanghai Gold futures is in an upward channel and may be at the end of the trend [7]. - **Trend Judgment Logic**: This week, the gold futures price showed a "soaring - retracting - recovering" pattern due to the "expectation gap" after the Fed's interest rate cut and the offset of high inventory by central bank gold purchases and ETF fund inflows. Next week, key factors include the Fed's policy path guidance, US economic data verification, inventory destocking rhythm, and global risk - aversion sentiment.

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The overall egg supply is relatively high compared to previous years. High inventory, low costs, and weak demand have pushed egg prices to their lowest levels in recent years. The recent rebound in egg prices is mainly due to pre - holiday stocking, but as the stocking ends, egg prices are starting to decline. The enthusiasm for culling laying hens decreased as egg prices rebounded [10]. 3.

Report Title - Energy Chemicals Pure Benzene & Styrene Daily Report [1] Report Date - September 17, 2025 [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Report Core Viewpoints - Pure benzene market remains weak due to increased supply from restarted and new - added plants, weak demand from downstream industries, and limited cost support from crude oil. Short - term market is likely to stay in weak and volatile consolidation [2] - Styrene has shown a temporary stabilization due to sudden production cuts. However, demand improvement is limited, and if there is no continuous maintenance or significant policy support, the medium - term market will fluctuate with crude oil prices [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Daily Market Summary (1) Fundamentals - **Prices**: On September 16, the styrene main contract rose 1.00% to 7158 yuan/ton with a basis of 37 (+9 yuan/ton); the pure benzene main contract rose 0.68% to 6073 yuan/ton [2] - **Costs**: On September 16, Brent crude closed at 63.3 dollars/barrel (+0.6 dollars/barrel), WTI crude at 67.4 dollars/barrel (+0.5 dollars/barrel), and East China pure benzene spot price was 5970 yuan/ton (+25 yuan/ton) [2] - **Inventory**: Styrene inventory was 15.9 tons (-1.8 tons), a 9.9% de - stocking; pure benzene port inventory was 13.4 tons (-1.0 tons), a 6.9% de - stocking [2] - **Supply**: Styrene production and capacity utilization decreased as some plants were under maintenance.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The market is highly concerned about the Fed's interest rate decision, with a general expectation of a 25bp rate cut. Most commodities are in a state of waiting for the outcome of the meeting, and their short - term trends are affected by this expectation [4][6][16]. - Domestic policies are being introduced to boost service consumption, and the A - share market is expected to oscillate at a high level in the short term, while the bond market remains on the sidelines [3]. - Different commodities have different supply - demand fundamentals, which, combined with macro - factors, determine their price trends. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Macroeconomics - Overseas: The US retail sales in August increased by 0.6% month - on - month, higher than expected, indicating strong consumption. The market is waiting for the FOMC result, with the US dollar index falling, and the gold price hitting a new high [2]. - Domestic: The Ministry of Commerce and other nine departments have introduced new policies for service consumption. The A - share market is oscillating, with more than 3,600 stocks rising. The bond market is sensitive to negatives, and the 10Y and 30Y interest rates have been restored to 1.78% and 2.08% respectively [3]. Precious Metals - Gold and silver showed mixed performance. COMEX gold futures rose 0.23% to $3,727.5 per ounce, while COMEX silver futures fell 0.19% to $42.88 per ounce. The market expects the Fed to cut interest rates, but some funds are cautious as the rate - cut approaches [4]. Copper - Before the Fed's interest rate meeting, the market is cautious. The expectation of a 25 - basis - point rate cut this month may have been digested. The market is highly concerned about the future path of the "dot plot". Part of the overseas long - position funds have taken profits in advance. The dollar index is continuously weakening, and the copper price still has upward potential in the medium term [6]. Aluminum - The aluminum price continued to oscillate strongly. The market's strong expectation of a Fed rate cut has boosted the aluminum price. However, high prices have restricted downstream procurement to some extent. The consumption peak season needs to be verified, and the price needs fundamental support to rise further [7][8]. Zinc - The expectation of a large - scale rate cut has weakened. The LME zinc inventory has been continuously decreasing, supporting the price of London zinc and thus the Shanghai zinc price. The domestic downstream procurement is still cautious, and the zinc price oscillates narrowly in the short term [9]. Lead - The expectation of refinery复产 has increased, and the supply - side support for the lead price has weakened. However, the expected stocking demand of downstream battery enterprises during the National Day holiday and the expected outflow of some goods after delivery will support the price. The lead price is expected to adjust at a high level in the short term [10]. Tin - The LME 0 - 3 BACK has slightly widened, and the slow resumption of tin mines in Myanmar and domestic refinery maintenance support the price. However, the increase in inventory at home and abroad and insufficient downstream consumption make it difficult for the price to rise. The tin price will continue to oscillate horizontally in the short term [11]. Industrial Silicon - The demand expectation has improved, and the industrial silicon price is running strongly. The supply is slightly shrinking, and the demand side shows signs of improvement. The short - term price is expected to oscillate [12][13]. Carbonate Lithium - The lithium price may still rise. The downstream stocking expectation is strong, but the acceptance of prices is weak. The risk of resource disruption has not been eliminated, and the high - level emphasis on anti - involution provides support for the price [14]. Nickel - As the Fed's interest rate meeting approaches, the market generally expects a 25bp rate cut. If there is no more - than - expected rate cut, the nickel price may experience a phased correction. The nickel ore market is generally loose, and the domestic nickel - iron cost pressure remains [15][16]. Crude Oil - Geopolitical tensions and inventory reduction have led to an oscillating and strengthening oil price. Although the market has a strong expectation of oversupply in the fourth quarter, the significant reduction in API crude oil inventory has boosted the bulls' sentiment. Geopolitical premiums are continuously factored in [17][18]. Soda Ash and Glass - Attention should be paid to cross - variety arbitrage opportunities. The soda ash price increase may be related to demand and macro - expectations. The glass factory's shipment is smooth, and the market expects the Fed's interest rate meeting to drive domestic liquidity release. One can pay attention to the opportunity of the narrowing spread between glass and soda ash [19][20]. Steel (Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil) - The steel price is oscillating. After the continuous rise, the market sentiment has been released, and the fundamental demand is poor. The supply has increased, and the peak - season expectation is difficult to be fulfilled. The price is expected to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the impact of the Fed's rate cut on the market [21]. Iron Ore - The port inventory has decreased, and the futures price is oscillating and rebounding. The external ore shipment has increased significantly, and the demand side is supported by the high - level resumption of blast - furnace operation. There is still an expectation of restocking in mid - to - late September [22]. Soybean Meal and Rapeseed Meal - The market trading is light, and the Dalian soybean meal is oscillating within a range. The short - term supply is under pressure, and the long - term import is uncertain. The future trend depends on the US bio - fuel redistribution plan and Sino - US and Sino - Canadian trade relations [23][24]. Palm Oil - The palm oil is oscillating and adjusting. The price of edible oils, including palm oil, is expected to be firm. The supply is expected to be less than the demand in 2025 and 2026. The strong performance of rapeseed oil and the impact of weather on palm oil production and export support the price [25].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Pure Benzene**: The pure benzene market is in a weak supply - demand pattern. Supply has increased due to the restart of some units and new production capacity. Demand is sluggish with weak downstream industry开工 rates. With pressure on crude oil and lack of market confidence, the short - term market may fluctuate and consolidate [2]. - **Styrene**: There has been an unexpected supply tightening recently due to unplanned shutdowns. The market has a short - term price rebound, but demand is still divided and overall inventory is high. Without further support, the medium - term trend will mainly fluctuate with crude oil [3]. 3.

Group 1: Rubber Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The fundamentals of natural rubber have changed little. The upstream cost side still provides support, while downstream users are resistant to high - priced raw materials. The reference range for the 01 contract is 15,000 - 16,500. Future focus should be on raw material output during the peak production season in the main producing areas and whether the La Nina phenomenon affects the supply. If raw material supply is smooth, consider shorting at high prices; if supply is restricted, rubber prices are expected to remain high [1]. Summary by Directory - **Spot Price and Basis**: On September 12, the price of Yunnan Guofu standard rubber (SCRWF) in Shanghai was 14,950 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan or 0.34% from the previous day.

The inbound rate of dry rubber in the bonded warehouse in Qingdao was 5.03%, up 0.95 percentage points; the outbound rate was 5.98%, up 1.79 percentage points [1]. Group 2: Polysilicon Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View In the short term, the market is more focused on the expectation of policy implementation in September, and the futures market is prone to rise and difficult to fall. Fundamentally, in September, although there is production reduction on the supply side, there are also factory resumptions to make up for the supply, so the overall supply reduction is not obvious. On the demand side, the polysilicon wafer production schedule has increased slightly month - on - month. There may be a slight inventory accumulation pattern in September. The price increase of polysilicon has been gradually accepted by downstream users, and the spot transmission mechanism is relatively smooth. In the future, the market pays less attention to fundamentals and more to policy expectations, with high price volatility risk. It is recommended to pay attention to the self - discipline meeting of polysilicon enterprises next week [2]. Summary by Directory - **Spot Price and Basis**: On September 12, the average price of N - type re - feedstock was 51,550 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the average price of N - type granular silicon was 48,500 yuan/ton, unchanged.

The polysilicon contract volume was 7820 (unit not clear), up 130 or 1.69% [2]. Group 3: Industrial Silicon Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View From the cost side, raw material prices are rising. In September, the prices of Xinjiang caking coal and charcoal have increased significantly, with monthly increases of 400 yuan/ton and 200 yuan/ton respectively. The electricity price in the southwest region will gradually rise during the dry season, and the cost center of industrial silicon will move up in the future. Although the current production of industrial silicon has increased month - on - month, there are also news of capacity clearance, and small furnaces may be shut down. The cost side of industrial silicon provides strong support. Considering the possible impact of the polysilicon enterprise self - discipline meeting next week and the expected increase in downstream inventory replenishment demand before the National Day, industrial silicon prices may rise slightly. It is recommended to try long positions at low prices. However, it should be noted that with the increase in production, inventory and warehouse receipt pressure are emerging. The main price fluctuation range is expected to be between 8000 - 9500 yuan/ton [3]. Summary by Directory - **Spot Price and Main Contract Basis**: On September 12, the price of East China oxygen - passing S15530 industrial silicon was 9200 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the basis (based on oxygen - passing SI5530) was - 5 yuan, down 5 yuan or - 1.09%.

Group 4: Log Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The current log market presents an oscillating pattern of "weak supply and demand, stable prices, and slightly decreasing inventory". The core contradiction in the market lies in the game between weak demand and fluctuating supply. Prices are temporarily stable under cost support. Future attention should be paid to whether the shipment volume improves significantly during the seasonal peak season. Currently, new registered warehouse receipts have been added to the 09 contract, and buyers' willingness to take delivery is poor, increasing pressure on the spot market. The spot market is weakening, and traders' enthusiasm for imports is decreasing. The arrival volume remains low, and the total inventory is low, with continuous inventory reduction for several weeks to below 3 million tons. Demand remains above 60,000 cubic meters, showing no obvious improvement trend. Currently, the valuation of the futures market below 800 is at a discount. Considering the peak - season expectations, it is recommended to go long at low prices [4]. Summary by Directory - **Futures and Spot Prices**: On September 12, the price of log 2509 was 763.0 yuan/cubic meter, down 3.5 yuan or - 0.46%; the price of log 2511 was 798.0 yuan/cubic meter, down 6.5 yuan or - 0.81%; the price of log 2601 was 819 yuan/cubic meter, down 35.0 yuan. The 9 - 11 spread was - 38.0 yuan/cubic meter; the 9 - 1 spread was 3.5 yuan/cubic meter. The basis of the 09 contract was - 13.0 yuan/cubic meter; the basis of the 11 contract was - 54.5 yuan/cubic meter; the basis of the 01 contract was - 62.5 yuan/cubic meter.

The price of 4A small radiata pine at Taicang Port was 720 yuan/cubic meter, unchanged; the price of 4A medium radiata pine was 770 yuan/cubic meter, unchanged; the price of 4A large radiata pine was 820 yuan/cubic meter, unchanged. The price of spruce 11.8 at Rizhao Port was 1150 yuan/cubic meter, unchanged. The new round of FOB quotes has loosened to the range of 114 US dollars/JAS cubic meter [4]. - **Cost: Import Cost Calculation**: On September 12, the RMB - US dollar exchange rate was 7.116, unchanged. The import theoretical cost was 797.71 yuan/cubic meter, down 13.81 yuan or - 2% [4]. - **Supply**: As of August 31, the port shipment volume from New Zealand to China, Japan, and South Korea was 173.3 million cubic meters, down 6.7 million cubic meters or - 3.87% from July 31.

Group 5: Glass and Soda Ash Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View Soda Ash The futures market has been oscillating narrowly recently, lacking a main trading logic. The fundamental oversupply problem still exists. Although inventory did not accumulate this week, it has actually been transferred to the middle and lower reaches, and trade inventory continues to rise. The previously reduced production units have resumed, and the weekly production has returned to the high level of 750,000 tons. In the medium term, there is no expectation of a significant increase in downstream production capacity, so the overall demand for soda ash will continue the previous rigid - demand pattern. After the traditional summer maintenance season in the soda ash industry, supply is at a high level. Without actual capacity withdrawal or production reduction, inventory will face further pressure. Track the implementation of policies and the production adjustment of soda ash plants. The overall supply - demand pattern is bearish, and it is advisable to short on rallies [5]. Glass The spot market had good transactions last week, and inventory decreased. At the beginning of the week, news about the conversion of coal - fired gas production lines to clean energy in the Shahe area triggered a rise in the futures market. The specific conversion time of the production lines is undetermined, and the expected shutdown time is limited. There are still some plans for复产 and ignition in the future. Currently, the inventory of manufacturers in the Shahe area is gradually increasing, and the inventory in the middle reaches has not decreased significantly. In terms of industry supply - demand
