Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The recent liquidity crunch in the US market due to the extended government shutdown has led to a general decline in risk - asset prices, including crude oil. High tanker freight rates have made it difficult for Western resources to arbitrage, and the market is gradually digesting the impact of Russian oil sanctions. The short - term outlook for oil prices is range - bound, while the medium - term strategy is a bearish allocation [2][3]. 3. Summary by Directory Market News and Important Data - Crude oil futures prices declined: The December - delivery light crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 96 cents to $59.60 per barrel, a 1.59% drop; the January - delivery Brent crude oil futures in London dropped 92 cents to $63.52 per barrel, a 1.43% decline. The SC crude oil main contract closed down 0.95% at 458 yuan per barrel [1]. - UAE's oil inventory: As of the week ending November 5, the total refined oil inventory at the Port of Fujairah in the UAE was 18.607 million barrels, up 851,000 barrels from the previous week. Light distillate inventory decreased by 1.236 million barrels to 6.713 million barrels, medium distillate inventory decreased by 79,000 barrels to 3.234 million barrels, and heavy residual fuel oil inventory increased by 2.166 million barrels to 8.66 million barrels [1]. - OPEC supply: In September, the daily crude oil supply of 9 OPEC countries with quotas was 23.87 million barrels, an increase of 760,000 barrels from August and 940,000 barrels higher than the target daily output. Saudi Arabia's daily supply was 9.98 million barrels, an increase of 550,000 barrels from August, meeting the target. OPEC+ will further increase production slightly in December but will suspend the production - increase plan from January to March 2026 due to seasonal factors. From January to March next year, Iraq, the UAE, Kazakhstan, and Oman will increase compensatory production cuts monthly, with a total reduction of 822,000 barrels per day in June to compensate for previous over - production [1]. - Libyan oil production plan: Libya's current oil production is close to 1.4 million barrels per day. The goal is to increase production to 2 million barrels per day in the next five years, 1.6 million barrels per day next year, and 1.8 million barrels per day the year after [1]. - Saudi Aramco's demand forecast: Saudi Aramco's CEO expects global oil demand to reach 106 million barrels per day in 2025, with strong demand growth in 2026 [1]. Investment Logic The extended US government shutdown has caused a liquidity crunch, leading to a decline in crude oil prices. High tanker freight rates have hindered Western resource arbitrage, and the market is digesting the impact of Russian oil sanctions. The lack of continuous upward movement in the Dubai month - spread indicates a slowdown in the shift from Russian oil to Middle Eastern oil [2]. Strategy Oil prices are expected to trade in a range in the short term and a bearish allocation is recommended in the medium term [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market was weak yesterday, with finished steel prices showing a weak and volatile trend. Although the steel demand has officially entered the off - season and there is a risk of inventory accumulation for hot - rolled coils, with the implementation of the Fed's easing expectations and positive signals from the China - US meeting, the market sentiment and capital environment are expected to improve, and the steel consumption end may gradually recover in the future [2]. - For iron ore, the supply is still at a high level in the same period, but the demand continues to weaken, and the inventory pressure remains. After the macro - events are realized, the fundamentals of iron ore are weak, and the price is expected to be weak and volatile in the short term. If the US liquidity problem is alleviated, the price may stabilize [5]. - Regarding manganese silicon and silicon iron, the fundamentals are not ideal, and they are likely to follow the trend of the black sector. The operability is relatively low [10]. - For industrial silicon, the supply pressure persists, and the demand support weakens. The price is likely to fluctuate with the commodity market in the short term, and attention should be paid to the option game near the expiration [13]. - For polysilicon, the supply - demand pattern may improve marginally, but the short - term inventory reduction is limited. The market has strong expectations for the industry meeting, and the price is highly volatile [16]. - For glass, the market expects an improvement in the supply structure, but the price increase is restricted by the low procurement enthusiasm of downstream factories. The sustainability of the market depends on spot transactions and inventory reduction [19]. - For soda ash, the industry operating rate remains high, the loss continues to expand, and the demand is mainly for rigid restocking. The price is expected to continue the weak and volatile pattern in the short term [21].

Core Viewpoint - The recent tightening of dollar liquidity is impacting various assets, including Bitcoin and overvalued tech stocks, as the market experiences a withdrawal of liquidity due to government shutdown and ongoing quantitative tightening by the Federal Reserve [1][5]. Group 1: Government Shutdown and TGA - The U.S. Treasury has been unable to distribute funds to the economy due to the government shutdown, leading to a situation where it is effectively "sucking" liquidity from the market [1]. - The Treasury General Account (TGA) has increased from under $300 billion to nearly $1 trillion, absorbing approximately $700 billion from the market, with $160 billion accumulated since November [2]. Group 2: Federal Reserve's Quantitative Tightening - The ongoing quantitative tightening by the Federal Reserve is exacerbating liquidity issues, despite indications that it may end on December 1 [5]. - The Federal Reserve's target federal funds rate is set at 3.75%-4%, but the effective federal funds rate (EFFR) is being influenced by the interest on reserve balances (IORB) and overnight reverse repurchase agreements (ON RRP) [7][8]. Group 3: Indicators of Liquidity Tightness - The widening spread between official rates and market rates indicates liquidity tightness, with the SOFR rate currently at 4.22%, exceeding the Federal Reserve's target range [8]. - The current conditions suggest that the Federal Reserve may not intervene unless the EFFR exceeds the target range significantly, which has not yet occurred [13]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The resolution of the liquidity crisis hinges on the timing of the government reopening and potential actions by the Federal Reserve to release liquidity [11]. - Market expectations suggest that a resolution may occur in mid-October, which could lead to a resurgence in liquidity-sensitive assets once the government reopens [12][14].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the US dollar is "oscillation" [6] Core Viewpoints - The Fed cut interest rates as expected in October and announced the end of balance sheet reduction on December 1st. Market expectations for a December rate cut have declined, and internal differences within the Fed have increased, which is expected to lead to increased market volatility [3][12] - The ECB and the BoJ kept their policies unchanged with dovish stances, and the market's expectations for Japanese fiscal expansion and monetary easing have increased, driving up the Japanese stock market [3][12] - During the APEC meeting, the US and China made some adjustments to tariffs and export controls, but no formal agreement has been signed, slightly falling short of market expectations [3][12] - The US government shutdown has led to a lack of economic data, but corporate earnings, financial reports, and future capital expenditure plans support the high - level operation of the US market [3][12] Breakdown by Directory 1. Global Market Overview This Week - Market risk appetite remained high, with stock markets rising and falling, and bond yields also showing mixed trends. The US Treasury yield slightly rose to 4.07%.

Market Trading Logic and Asset Performance 2.1 Stock Market - Global stock markets showed mixed trends, with US and A - shares rising. The S&P 500 rose 0.71%, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.11%, the Hang Seng Index fell 0.97%, and the Nikkei 225 index soared 6.31%. The US government shutdown will further drag on the economy, and the Fed's interest - rate cut and end of balance - sheet reduction, along with internal differences, are expected to increase market volatility. The market's expectations for Japanese fiscal and monetary policies have boosted the Japanese stock market. The China - US trade situation has slightly disappointed the market, and the divergence between the stock market and fundamentals in China is expected to gradually correct [11][12] 2.2 Bond Market - Global bond yields showed mixed trends, with the 10 - year US Treasury yield slightly rising to 4.07%. The US government shutdown, the Fed's policy adjustments, and the ECB's stance have affected bond yields.

The Fed's policy and changes in Chinese gold consumption tax have had a negative impact on gold prices, and it is expected that there is still room for decline. Brent crude oil fell 1.9% to $65.2 per barrel as concerns about the supply side eased, while the industrial products rebounded and the commodity spot index rose [28][30] 3. Hot - Spot Tracking - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp in October and stopped balance - sheet reduction. This is an important signal of an inflection point in absolute liquidity, but the Fed's internal differences and the uncertainty of a December rate cut have short - term impacts on the market [31][34][35] 4. Next Week's Important Event Reminders - Monday: US October ISM Manufacturing PMI - Tuesday: Reserve Bank of Australia interest - rate meeting decision - Wednesday: US October ADP employment, ISM Non - Manufacturing PMI - Thursday: Bank of England interest - rate meeting decision - Friday: US November University of Michigan Consumer Confidence [36]
