1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In July, with the continuous fermentation of the "anti - involution" sentiment, the volatility of the commodity market increased significantly, and the stainless - steel market was also boosted, starting a small upward trend, reaching the high point after the unexpected tariff fermentation in early April. However, it is still in the traditional off - season, and downstream enterprises mainly make rigid - demand purchases. The effect of steel mill production cuts on improving the supply - demand contradiction is limited. [11][12] - Policy incentives have stimulated the speculative demand of traders, accelerating inventory digestion. Since downstream inventories are at a low level, market sentiment has improved, consumer enterprises' willingness to replenish inventories has increased, and steel mills' order acceptance in August is good. [11][12] - Looking forward to August, with the continuation of the "anti - involution" sentiment, the overall pessimism in the industrial chain has eased. The stocking demand for the "Golden September and Silver October" may be released in advance, and the upstream and downstream may form a virtuous cycle, with steel mills' profits expected to recover. Additionally, the 90 - day postponement of the effective time for the resumption of Sino - US tariffs may boost stainless - steel exports and relieve the pressure on domestic sales. [11][12] - Overall, the market still needs to further observe whether terminal consumption has truly recovered and whether the situation of "insufficient effective demand" can be improved.

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights signs of economic stabilization in China, particularly in the industrial sector, with a notable improvement in manufacturing profits despite a year-on-year decline in overall industrial profits [1][2]. Group 1: Economic Indicators - In the first half of the year, profits of large industrial enterprises decreased by 1.8% year-on-year, while June saw a 4.3% decline, which is a 4.8 percentage point narrowing from May [1]. - Manufacturing profits shifted from a 4.1% decline in May to a 1.4% increase in June, indicating a significant marginal improvement [1]. - The revenue of large industrial enterprises grew by 2.5% year-on-year, but operating costs increased by 2.8%, leading to a decrease in profit margins [2]. Group 2: Financial and Fiscal Support - There is a need for enhanced financial support for real enterprises, with a focus on medium to long-term funding to prevent intermittent cash flow shocks [2][3]. - Fiscal measures should include increasing the frequency of tax refunds to alleviate the cash flow pressures faced by enterprises, particularly in light of rising accounts receivable and inventory levels [3]. - A structural tax reform is necessary to shift from indirect to direct taxes, which could help mitigate liquidity constraints on businesses [3]. Group 3: Market Dynamics and Competition - The core issue facing enterprises is insufficient effective demand, necessitating a direct change in the demand elasticity of various products and services [4]. - Promoting market competition and allowing inefficient capacities to exit the market is essential for enhancing the risk-bearing capacity of industries and stimulating potential market demand [4]. - The government should prepare for the elimination of outdated capacities by providing a supportive legal and institutional environment for bankruptcy and restructuring processes [5].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The short - term, medium - term, and overall view of TL2509 is "oscillation", with an intraday view of "oscillation on the weak side". The core logic is that the monetary policy environment is loose, but the possibility of short - term interest rate cuts is low [1]. - For the main varieties of financial futures (TL, T, TF, TS), the intraday view is "oscillation on the weak side", the medium - term view is "oscillation", and the overall reference view is "oscillation". In the short term, the Treasury bond futures will mainly oscillate and consolidate [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Variety Viewpoint Reference - Financial Futures Index Sector - For TL2509, the short - term, medium - term, and overall view is "oscillation", and the intraday view is "oscillation on the weak side". The core logic is that the monetary policy environment is loose, but the short - term possibility of interest rate cuts is low [1]. Main Variety Price Quotation Driving Logic - Financial Futures Index Sector - Yesterday, Treasury bond futures oscillated and slightly corrected, showing a trend of hitting the bottom and then rebounding. Due to the easing of Sino - US economic and trade relations, the strong resilience of China's macro - economy in the first half of the year, and the continuous increase in the stock market's risk appetite from the capital side, Treasury bond futures corrected in the short term [5]. - The market interest rate has risen to near the policy rate, and the room for further increase is limited, so the downward momentum of Treasury bond futures is limited. There is still a problem of insufficient effective domestic demand, and a loose monetary environment is needed to support the economy in the second half of the year, with an expectation of interest rate cuts. However, the possibility of short - term interest rate cuts is low, and the 7 - month LPR remains unchanged, so the upward space for Treasury bond futures in the short term is also limited [5].
