Report Investment Rating - No information provided Core View - The resumption of production at both the supply and demand ends of coking coal and coke is progressing rapidly, especially the rapid rebound of molten iron, which supports the rigid demand for raw materials. However, attention should be paid to the implementation of recent environmental protection and production restriction measures by steel mills. The market is expected to fluctuate [2][3]. Summary by Directory Market Situation - Overseas interest rate cut expectations are strong, and there is a strong atmosphere of "anti - involution" in China. The prices of coking coal and coke futures showed a strong trend yesterday. After the market, there was news of an environmental protection and production restriction plan in Tangshan, causing the night session to open high and close low. Tangshan's steel and coking enterprises have started environmental protection and production restrictions. Steel mills have shut down 40% of their blast furnaces, and coking enterprises have extended the coking time by 30%. The current overall operating rate of coking plants in the Tangshan market is around 75%. Steel mills have received the production restriction notice, but the specific implementation plan is still to be discussed [2]. Coal Mine End - After some coal mines reduced prices, sales improved. The market still expects inventory replenishment before the National Day. Last week, coal production gradually recovered. The daily average clean coal output of 523 coal mines was 728,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 35,000 tons. Due to the impact of production cuts and improved sales after price cuts, the mine - end inventory decreased [3]. Demand Side - The resumption of production at steel mills is fast. Last week, the daily average molten iron output unexpectedly rebounded to 2.4055 million tons, an increase of 117,100 tons from the previous week, returning to the level before production restrictions. Currently, the profitability rate of steel mills is 60.17%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.87 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 54.11 percentage points. Finished products are in a continuous inventory accumulation process, and the profits of steel mills have narrowed, which may limit the upward space of molten iron production, and the demand for raw materials will face a test in the later stage [3].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The coal and coke futures prices fluctuated strongly overall yesterday and continued to rise at night due to the strong overseas interest - rate cut expectation and the strong domestic "anti - involution" atmosphere. The spot - end has completed 2 rounds of coke price cuts. The supply and demand sides of coal and coke are in a fast resumption process, especially the rapid recovery of hot metal, which supports the rigid demand for raw materials. Coupled with the positive macro signals boosting market sentiment, the market is expected to run with an upward bias [2][3][4] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalog Market Logic - Overseas interest - rate cut expectation is strong, and the domestic "anti - involution" atmosphere is thick. The coal and coke futures prices fluctuated strongly yesterday and continued to rise at night. The mainstream steel mills adjusted the coke purchase price, and the coke price has completed 2 rounds of cuts [3] Coal Mine Situation - The coking coal market remains weak, with transaction prices mainly falling and low downstream purchasing enthusiasm. However, some coal mines have better sales after price cuts, and the market still expects pre - National Day restocking. Last week, coal production gradually recovered, with the daily average clean coal output of 523 coal mines reaching 72.8 tons, a week - on - week increase of 3.5 tons. Due to production cuts and better sales after price cuts, the mine - end inventory decreased [4] Demand Situation - Steel mills are resuming production rapidly, with the daily average hot metal output last Sunday exceeding expectations and rising to 240.55 tons, an increase of 11.71 tons from the previous week, returning to the pre - restriction level. Currently, the steel mill profitability rate is 60.17%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.87 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 54.11 percentage points. The finished products are in a continuous inventory accumulation process, and the steel mill profits have narrowed, which may limit the upward space of hot metal and test the raw material demand in the later stage [4]

Group 1: Overall Report Information - The report is a non - rated research on the non - ferrous metals industry, including copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, stainless steel, lead, tin, industrial silicon, and lithium carbonate [1] Group 2: Copper - This week, copper prices fluctuated widely around 80,000 yuan and broke through on Thursday and Friday. The fundamentals remained resilient, with an increase in imported copper arrivals but no accumulation of domestic social inventories. Downstream开工 decreased, and they were in the stage of consuming finished - product inventories. The domestic spot premium declined slightly, but the rigid purchasing ability was still good. Macroscopically, copper benefited from the global fiscal and monetary double - easing, and the overseas interest - rate cut expectation was further priced in. The price is expected to be more likely to rise than fall in the third and fourth quarters. If the short - term positive factors are realized and the price corrects, mid - term long positions can be considered below 79,500 yuan, or put options below 78,000 yuan can be sold [1] Group 3: Aluminum - Supply increased slightly, with aluminum ingot imports providing an increment from January to July. Downstream开工 improved, with stable production schedules for photovoltaic modules, but overseas demand declined significantly. In September, inventory is expected to decline. The short - term fundamentals are okay, and attention should be paid to demand. In a low - inventory pattern, hold positions on dips and pay attention to far - month inter - month and internal - external reverse arbitrage [1] Group 4: Zinc - This week, zinc prices fluctuated narrowly. Domestic TC decreased slightly, while imported TC increased further. In September, due to concentrated maintenance, smelting output decreased slightly month - on - month. Overseas, the quarterly mine - end increment exceeded expectations, and China's zinc ore imports in July exceeded 500,000 tons, the highest in the past three years. Domestic demand was seasonally weak, with limited growth but certain resilience; overseas, European demand was average, and some smelters faced production resistance due to processing fees. Domestic social inventories continued to rise, while overseas LME inventories decreased, mainly flowing to Europe and the United States. The current pattern of strong overseas and weak domestic may further diverge, and the export window is about 1,000 - 1,200 yuan/ton away from opening. In terms of strategy, short - term unilateral positions can be used as a short - side allocation, and internal - external positive arbitrage can continue to be held [2] Group 5: Nickel - The supply of pure nickel remained at a high level. Demand was generally weak, and the premium was stable recently. Domestic inventories increased slightly, and overseas warehouse receipts increased. The short - term fundamentals were weak, and the macro - level anti - involution sentiment rebounded. The Indonesian parade subsided, but it was reported that the Indonesian Forestry Bureau took over part of the world's largest nickel mine, PT Weda Bay Nickel, and follow - up attention is needed [3][4] Group 6: Stainless Steel - On the supply side, steel mills in the north are expected to resume production gradually due to the military parade. Demand was mainly for rigid needs. In terms of cost, the price of nickel iron remained stable, and the price of chrome iron increased slightly. In terms of inventory, the inventories in Xijiao and Foshan remained stable, and warehouse receipts decreased slightly. The fundamentals remained generally weak, and the short - term macro - level followed the anti - involution expectation. The Indonesian parade subsided, and it was reported that the Indonesian Forestry Bureau took over part of the world's largest nickel mine, PT Weda Bay Nickel [6] Group 7: Lead - This week, lead prices rose due to macro - factors. On the supply side, the scrap volume was weak year - on - year; the expansion of recycling plants led to a general shortage of waste batteries, and recycled lead maintained low - level operation under low profits. Demand had no obvious boost, and recyclers sold in small quantities; from April to August, the concentrate operation increased, but the smelting profit led to a supply shortage, and the TC quotation declined in a chaotic manner. On the demand side, the finished - product inventory of batteries was high, the battery operation rate increased this week, but the market was not prosperous in the peak season. The refined - scrap price difference was - 25, and there was an expectation of supply shortage. The LME registered warehouse receipts decreased by 10,000 tons. In September, the market had expectations of a peak season, and orders generally improved, but the destocking intensity of terminal consumption and the purchasing intensity of lead ingots were both weak this week. The willingness of downstream battery factories to receive goods rebounded, but the volume of receiving warehouse receipts was only in the thousands of tons, with limited intensity. The exchange inventory reached a historical high of nearly 70,000 tons. In August, the primary supply was flat, and recycled lead production decreased. In September, both production reduction and resumption of recycled lead occurred, and the supply is expected to be flat. The price rebound improved the recycled lead sales, the refined - scrap price difference was - 25, and the lead ingot spot was at a discount of 20. Demand improved slightly, but the inventory was at a high level, and battery factories controlled production. It is expected that lead prices will fluctuate significantly next week, ranging from 16,800 to 17,200 yuan [7][18] Group 8: Tin - This week, tin prices fluctuated widely. On the supply side, the processing fee at the mine end was at a low level, and some domestic smelters reduced production. Yunnan Tin started maintenance at the beginning of September for about 45 days. Overseas, the import from Wa State in August was less than 200 metal tons, and the short - term raw material supply was tight, and the output may gradually increase after October; African tin mines have medium - and long - term increments but unstable short - term output; Indonesian exports are expected to resume in mid - to late September. On the demand side, the elasticity of solder was limited, the terminal electronic consumption had expectations of a peak season, but the expectation of a decline in photovoltaic growth was strong, and the domestic inventory fluctuated; as Indonesia gradually resumed, the LME inventory rebounded from a low level. At the spot end, there was no obvious improvement in the consumption peak season, and the premium declined slightly. The domestic fundamentals remained in a state of weak supply and demand in the short term. Attention should be paid to the phased mismatch in supply in September and the expectation change of a non - prosperous peak season after the supply resumes in October, as well as the impact of interest - rate cut expectations on non - ferrous metals as a whole. In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see; in the long term, hold positions on dips close to the cost line [11] Group 9: Industrial Silicon - This week, the leading enterprises in Xinjiang continued to resume production, with 75 furnaces in operation. Currently, the operation in Sichuan and Yunnan is stable, with a monthly output close to 120,000 tons. Some silicon factories in Xinjiang have plans to increase production later. In September, the balance is in a balanced state, and the increment space in the southwest at the current price is limited. The core of the balance change is the rhythm and amplitude of Hesheng's resumption of production. In the short term, affected by the resumption rhythm in the southwest and Hesheng, the supply and demand will remain in a tight - balance state in September and October. In the long term, the over - capacity of industrial silicon is still large, the operation rate is low, and the price trend is expected to fluctuate at the bottom of the cycle, anchored by the seasonal marginal cost [12][14] Group 10: Lithium Carbonate - This week, lithium carbonate prices fluctuated widely. Affected by the expectation of CATL's resumption of production, the futures price dropped significantly in the middle of the week. On the raw material side, due to the obvious de - stocking of lithium mines in the early stage, miners were not willing to sell at low prices. On the lithium salt side, upstream salt factories also had a sentiment of holding up prices, and most scattered orders were pre - sold. In the spot market, the current basis level strengthened slightly, the large - discount goods decreased compared with the previous period, but the market supply was still abundant, and the quotes of new goods mostly fluctuated around par. The current contradiction is that in the context of an unfinished large - scale capacity expansion cycle and a still - surplus static supply - demand pattern, the resource end faces periodic compliance disturbances. In the context of the current seasonal peak season, the monthly balance after CATL's gradual production reduction has turned to continuous de - stocking, but the de - stocking amplitude is still small compared with the existing inventory level, and the demand performance has a greater impact on the de - stocking amplitude. In the context of a strong "anti - involution" commodity sentiment, the price elasticity after the speculation of supply - side disturbances is high, and the price support is strong before the disturbances materialize [16]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - **Copper**: Today, copper prices rebounded after hitting a low in the morning and fluctuated upwards during the day. The overall open interest increased slightly, and the main contract price touched the 81,000 mark again at the end of the session. Overseas interest rate cut expectations are rising, and the approaching September FOMC meeting is positive for copper prices. However, the slight increase in inventory on Monday is negative for futures prices. Technically, pay attention to the long - short battle at the 81,000 mark [5]. - **Aluminum**: Today, aluminum prices rebounded after hitting a low in the morning and fluctuated during the day. The open interest changed little. Overseas interest rate cut expectations are rising, and the approaching September FOMC meeting is positive for aluminum prices. The slight increase in social inventory on Monday is negative for futures prices. In the short term, aluminum prices may fall after rising. Pay attention to the support at the 21,000 mark [6]. - **Nickel**: Today, Shanghai nickel decreased in open interest and declined. Overseas interest rate cut expectations are rising, driving up the non - ferrous sector. However, the continuous increase in domestic nickel ore port inventory and SHFE nickel inventory is negative for nickel prices. In the short term, the macro situation is driving up non - ferrous metals generally, and nickel prices may rebound from the low level. The willingness of previous short - sellers to close positions is strong. Pay attention to the pressure at the August high [7]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Industry Dynamics - **Copper**: On September 15, the spot inventory of electrolytic copper in the domestic market was 157,900 tons, an increase of 7,500 tons compared with August 8 and 8,900 tons compared with September 11 [9]. - **Aluminum**: On September 15, the spot inventory of electrolytic aluminum in the domestic market was 629,000 tons, unchanged compared with August 8 and an increase of 11,000 tons compared with September 11 [9]. - **Nickel**: On September 15, the mainstream reference contract for refined nickel in the Shanghai market was the SHFE nickel 2510 contract.

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that while supply of the five major steel materials is decreasing and demand is increasing, inventory levels are still accumulating, leading to a potentially weak fluctuation in steel prices [1] Group 2 - The hot-rolled coil shows a strong supply and demand dynamic, with inventory shifting from an increase to a decrease [1] - Rebar supply and demand are relatively weak, with demand falling short of expectations, continuing the trend of seasonal inventory accumulation [1] - Overall inventory of the five major materials is in a seasonal accumulation range, putting pressure on the basic steel market [1] Group 3 - On a macro level, expectations for overseas interest rate cuts are increasing, and domestic "anti-involution" policy expectations remain, creating a generally optimistic macro atmosphere that supports the market and limits price declines [1] - The current fundamental pressures are suppressing steel prices, with continuous inventory accumulation and significant shrinkage in steel mill profits, leading to negative feedback pressure [1] - It is anticipated that the market will continue to exhibit a weak fluctuation pattern, with future attention needed on macro policy trends and performance of demand during peak seasons [1] Group 4 - Positive factors include the ongoing expectations for domestic anti-involution policies and relatively good demand for hot-rolled coils [1] - Negative factors encompass poor demand for rebar, excessive seasonal inventory accumulation, and significant overall inventory pressure in steel materials [1] - Rebar futures contracts face substantial warehouse pressure, and steel mill profits are poor, increasing negative feedback pressure [1]

Market Overview - A-share market trading activity has decreased, with a slight decline in transaction volume in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets, indicating that incremental capital has not yet formed a consistent expectation in the short term, leading to a wide fluctuation in the market [1][4] - The overall A-share market is experiencing significant fluctuations, with notable sector rotation. Benefiting from interest rate cut expectations and "anti-involution" policies, sectors such as electric power equipment and non-ferrous metals have seen substantial gains, while previously high-performing sectors like computers and communications have shown weakness [1] Economic Indicators - In August, China's exports increased by 4.4% year-on-year in USD terms, below the expected 5.9% and previous value of 7.2%. Imports grew by 1.3%, also below expectations [1] - The decline in exports to the US has intensified, with a drop of 33.1% in August, negatively impacting total exports by 5.1 percentage points, while exports to the EU and ASEAN exceeded previous values [1] Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) - In August, China's CPI growth remained flat month-on-month, with a year-on-year decrease to -0.4%. The PPI growth shifted from a decline to flat, with a significant narrowing of the year-on-year decline [2] - Prices of pork and eggs have shown lower-than-seasonal increases, while some food prices continue to decline, affecting non-food items [2] Infrastructure and Real Estate - High-frequency data for August indicates a slight increase in the year-on-year growth rate of petroleum asphalt and cement shipments. The National Development and Reform Commission has allocated 300 billion yuan for the third batch of "two heavy" construction projects, which will support infrastructure growth [3] - In the real estate sector, first-tier city housing prices have declined more than those in second and third-tier cities, with sales of commercial housing in 30 cities in August still needing improvement [3] Consumer Behavior - The retail sales growth rate for social consumer goods in August is expected to moderate. The previous year's "old-for-new" subsidy funds have been gradually distributed, but this year faces a high base environment and increased consumer sensitivity to price changes [3] Global Economic Context - Recent expectations for overseas interest rate cuts have risen, with the US adding only 22,000 non-farm jobs in August, below the expected 75,000 and previous 79,000. The unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, the highest since November 2021 [4] - Following the employment data release, the dollar index and US bond yields fell, while gold, US stocks, and copper prices surged. Market sentiment has shifted towards recession, with an increased probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates three times this year [4]

Core Viewpoint - The white goods industry is expected to achieve double growth in revenue and profit in the first half of 2025, driven by domestic "trade-in" policies and strong performance in emerging overseas markets [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Performance - The overall revenue and profit of the white goods industry have improved due to the synergy between domestic and overseas sales, leading to enhanced profitability [2]. - The first-tier brands like Midea and Haier have shown stable growth, while second-tier companies like Hisense and Meiling face pressure on profits due to intensified market competition and price wars among leading brands [3]. Group 2: Profitability Factors - The overall gross margin remains stable, with profit increases primarily attributed to a decrease in expense ratios, particularly in sales expenses. National subsidy policies have driven product structure upgrades, and companies have effectively reduced costs and increased efficiency [4]. Group 3: Overseas Market Trends - Emerging markets in South Asia and the Middle East have shown strong performance. However, the North American market has experienced slowed growth due to tariffs, with Midea preemptively shipping products in Q1 to mitigate tariff impacts, while Haier maintains a stable rhythm [5]. Group 4: Domestic Sales Outlook - The "trade-in" policy has limited overdraw effects, and a new round of capped national subsidies is expected to continue stimulating demand. Although growth may slow marginally in Q3 due to a high base, the medium to long-term outlook remains resilient, with optimistic expectations for H2 financial reports [6]. Group 5: External Sales Outlook - The anticipated interest rate cuts in the U.S. may boost real estate and home appliance demand, while growth momentum in emerging markets remains strong. Companies like Haier, with well-established overseas production capacities, are expected to experience good growth [7]. Group 6: Financial Performance of Overseas Listed Companies - Overall revenue growth has slowed, and profit margins are under pressure. However, some companies have managed to improve profitability through cost control and product structure optimization [8]. Group 7: Investment Recommendations - White goods companies are enhancing profitability and risk resistance through cost reduction, product structure optimization, and deepening localization. With ongoing domestic policy support and rising expectations for overseas interest rate cuts, the white goods sector still holds strong growth potential and investment value. Key recommendations include leading brands such as Haier Smart Home, Midea Group, Hisense Home Appliances, and Gree Electric [9].

Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - This week, the apparent demand for thread steel improved, production increased, and inventory continued to accumulate. The demand and production of hot - rolled coil both declined slightly, and inventory continued to accumulate [2] - The hot metal production decreased slightly at a high level, and the market faced negative feedback pressure, but the overall inventory level was low [2] - The real estate investment continued to decline significantly, the growth rates of infrastructure and manufacturing gradually slowed down, and the overall domestic demand was still weak, while exports were expected to remain high [2] Iron Ore - Global iron ore shipments declined from a high level but were still stronger than last year. The domestic arrival volume decreased, and port inventory decreased slightly this week [3] - Terminal demand continued to improve seasonally. Steel mills' profits weakened, but the willingness to actively reduce production was insufficient, and hot metal production decreased slightly [3] - Overseas interest - rate cut expectations increased, and domestic policy rumors about production restrictions were repeated. Iron ore supply - demand weakened marginally, and it was expected to oscillate at a high level [3] Coke - The price was weakly volatile during the day. Due to the approaching major event, the production - restriction expectation of coking plants in East China rose again [4] - The daily hot metal output increased, and the steel - making profit remained high. The coking industry proposed an eighth - round price increase, and the daily production increased slightly [4] - The overall coke inventory increased slightly, and the purchasing willingness of traders decreased. The price was greatly affected by policies and had high short - term volatility [4] Coking Coal - The price was weakly volatile during the day. The production of coking coal mines increased slightly, the spot auction transactions weakened, and the terminal inventory decreased slightly [5] - The total coking coal inventory increased month - on - month, and the production - end inventory decreased slightly.

Group 1 - No industry investment rating is provided Group 2 - Overseas interest - rate cut expectations are rising, market sentiment is still fluctuating. Fundamentally, raw material demand remains good for now but shows a tendency of short - term phased decline. Coal and coke prices are more volatile [3] Group 3 Market Logic - On August 25, the price of coking coal fluctuated strongly. As the September 3 parade approaches, the social impact of safety accidents should be noted. Fed Chair Powell's dovish remarks led the market to bet on a September rate cut, driving up commodity prices. Some high - priced coal resources at mines had weak sales, and prices were stable. Hebei coke enterprises started the 8th round of price increase [2] Environmental Production Restrictions - Tangshan steel mills received an oral notice of environmental production restrictions. From August 25 to September 3, sintering machines are to be restricted by 30%, and from August 31 to September 3, blast furnaces are to be restricted by 40%. Henan coke enterprises are to implement voluntary production restrictions from August 25 to September 3, with an estimated reduction of 20% - 35% [2] Fundamentals - Last week, Shanxi coal mines continued to increase production slowly, with the daily average output of clean coal reaching 771,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 700 tons. After the downstream's centralized inventory replenishment ended, mines started to accumulate inventory again. Short - term coal mine production is expected to continue to resume, and pithead inventory will rise due to weakening demand. Last week, steel mills maintained high - level operations, with the daily average hot metal output remaining above 2.4 million tons. Focus on the implementation of steel mill production restrictions this week [2]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article highlights that the dovish stance of the Federal Reserve has stimulated a global stock market rally, with expectations of interest rate cuts rising due to increased risks in the employment sector [1] - The Shanghai Composite Index (沪指) has reached a new high in the current market rally, with significant trading volume exceeding 30 trillion yuan, indicating strong investor confidence and a bullish sentiment in the market [1][2] - The market is showing a clear upward trend, with the Shanghai Composite Index breaking through previous resistance levels and approaching the top of a new trading range, suggesting a potential continuation of the bullish momentum [2]
