The key contradiction in the bond market lies in the stock index [14]. Black Commodities Steel and Ore - The short - term price may adjust, and the medium - term will maintain a shock market. The implementation of relevant policies has limited impact on the supply of steel products. The real demand in the downstream of steel is limited, and there may be a situation of "no peak season in the peak season". The supply is expected to remain strong, and the cost and profit are affected by the price of raw materials [18][19]. Coking Coal and Coke - The price may continue to fluctuate at a high level in the short term, and the capital game is intense. The supply of coking coal may be tight in the short term, and the demand from steel mills provides support, but there is also downward pressure [20]. Ferroalloys - Pay attention to the long - buying opportunity of the ferrosilicon 10 - contract. For manganese silicon, maintain the medium - and long - term idea of short - selling on rebounds. The current supply of both ferrosilicon and manganese silicon is in an oversupply situation [21][22].

The domestic cotton inventory is low, but the downstream demand is weak [29]. Sugar - The import volume has increased significantly, and the short - term supply - demand relationship is relatively loose. It is recommended to short on rallies in the short term and pay attention to the support at the low point in mid - August. The international and domestic sugar markets are affected by multiple factors such as production and demand [30][31]. Eggs - The 10 - contract is a post - festival contract, and there is a game between weak reality and the expectation of concentrated culling of old hens. It is recommended to take profit on short positions and wait and see, and be cautious when buying at the bottom. The current supply pressure is high, but the futures position has reached a new high [33]. Apples - Consider buying on dips or using a long - 10 short - 01 positive spread combination.

The new - season Fuji apple price will be affected by early - maturing and old - season apples [35]. Corn - Consider shorting the 01 - contract on rallies or using an 11 - 1 positive spread. The domestic corn price is weak, and the supply and demand are under pressure. The policy grain supply and substitutes affect the demand, and the downstream processing demand is weak [35][36]. Jujubes - It is recommended to wait and see. The local rainfall in Xinjiang may affect the quality of jujubes, and the transaction price in the production area is stable [37]. Live Pigs - Short on rallies for near - month contracts and consider long - buying opportunities for the 01 - contract. The supply pressure in August was high, and it may continue in September. The demand is gradually recovering, but it is difficult to reverse the situation of "strong supply and weak demand" [37][38]. Energy and Chemical Crude Oil - The price will operate in a strong shock in the short term and is expected to be weak in the medium and long term. The negotiation between the US, Russia, and Ukraine will take a long time, and the inventory data shows that the peak - season demand is approaching the end. Pay attention to the progress of the Russia - Ukraine event and the OPEC+ meeting [39]. Fuel Oil - The price will follow the price of crude oil. The future focus is on whether the price reflects the expected supply - demand surplus or geopolitical and macro factors. The supply of fuel oil is affected by domestic refinery demand and inventory [39][40]. Plastics - The supply pressure is relatively large, and it is expected to be weak in a shock. The positive sentiment from the elimination of backward production capacity has faded, and the supply is high while the demand is weak [40]. Rubber - Pay attention to the long - buying opportunity on dips, and be cautious when chasing high. The short - term fundamentals have no obvious contradictions, and the raw material price and demand affect the price [40][41]. Methanol - The price will continue to be weak in a shock.

The industry is in the transition period between the off - season and peak season, and the supply - demand relationship is expected to improve [46]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas - The price follows the crude oil price and is affected by the import volume. The supply is abundant, and the demand is difficult to exceed expectations. It is recommended to maintain a bearish view in the long term [47]. Pulp - The fundamentals are unchanged, and the price rebounds after hitting the bottom. Observe whether the port inventory continues to decline and the spot transaction and demand after Chenming's resumption of production [48]. Logs - The fundamentals are in a shock state, and the spot price is stable. The supply may face pressure, but the demand is expected to improve in the peak season [48].
