The Fed's September interest - rate cut expectation is frustrated due to high PPI data [10]. - For stock index futures, consider taking profits on the covered strategy and pay attention to July's macro data. For Treasury bond futures, there may be a short - term rebound, and the curve - steepening strategy can still be held in the medium - term [12][13]. - Steel and ore prices are expected to remain volatile, and double - coking prices may enter a high - level shock stage. For ferroalloys, consider long - short spreads or reverse spreads, and short on rebounds [14][15][17]. - For soda ash and glass, maintain a short - on - rallies strategy for soda ash and stay on the sidelines for glass. For non - ferrous metals and new materials, aluminum prices may be weakly volatile, and alumina prices may be strong in the short - term but weak in the long - term. Zinc prices are expected to weaken, while lithium carbonate, industrial silicon, and polysilicon prices will be in a wide - range shock [18][20][21]. - For agricultural products, cotton prices may be shorted on rallies in the long - term, sugar prices are restricted by increasing supply, egg prices may have limited upside during the Mid - Autumn Festival, and apple prices can be long - short spread. Corn prices can be shorted on the far - month contract, and hog prices can be shorted cautiously on the near - month contract [27][30][33]. - For energy and chemicals, crude oil may enter a supply - surplus pattern, and fuel oil and asphalt prices follow crude oil. Plastic prices are expected to be weakly volatile, and rubber prices may have limited downside. Methanol prices are expected to be weak, and LPG prices are prone to fall [40][42][43]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macro Information - The central bank conducts 500 billion yuan of 6 - month outright reverse repurchase operations on August 15, and the cumulative outright reverse repurchase operations this month have exceeded the maturing amount by 30 billion yuan. The market expects the central bank to increase the volume of 30 billion yuan of MLF roll - over [10]. - The Fed's September interest - rate cut expectation is frustrated as the US July PPI soars to 3.3% year - on - year, far exceeding the expected 2.5%. San Francisco Fed President Daly and Chicago Fed President Goolsbee oppose large - scale interest - rate cuts [10]. - Ping An Insurance increases its holdings of CPIC H - shares, reaching the threshold for a mandatory public announcement. This year, there has been a third wave of insurance companies' share - buying sprees [10]. - US Treasury Secretary Yellen clarifies that she is not pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates. The number of initial jobless claims in the US last week decreased by 3,000 to 224,000, while the number of continued jobless claims decreased to 1.953 million [11]. Stock Index Futures - The strategy is to take profits on the covered strategy and pay attention to July's macro data. On Thursday, the A - share market rose and then fell, with over 4,600 stocks declining. The market turnover increased to 2.31 trillion yuan. The central bank's reverse repurchase operations have a net injection of 30 billion yuan, and the market is affected by insurance companies' share - buying and US PPI data [12]. Treasury Bond Futures - There may be a short - term rebound, and the curve - steepening strategy can still be held in the medium - term. The money market was loose in the morning and tightened slightly in the afternoon. The bond market was under pressure when the Shanghai Composite Index broke through 3,700 points. The central bank's reverse repurchase operations have a net injection of 30 billion yuan, and attention should be paid to the MLF roll - over [13]. Steel and Ore - From a policy perspective, it is relatively mild. From a supply - demand perspective, the contradiction is not prominent. The demand is seasonally weak, but the mid - term supply - demand is balanced. The supply is expected to remain strong, and steel and ore prices are expected to remain volatile. The prices of steel products and imported iron ore have fluctuated, with the iron ore trading volume decreasing by 31.71% on a daily basis and increasing by 15.72% on a weekly basis [14][15]. Coal and Coking - Double - coking prices may enter a high - level shock stage. The strict inspection of coal mine over - production and coke - enterprise production restrictions have led to price adjustments. The supply of coking coal may be tight in the short - term, but the possibility of a decline in steel mill's molten iron output and sufficient imported Mongolian coal supply still put pressure on prices [15][16]. Ferroalloys - The current spot - futures pressure of ferrosilicon and ferromanganese is high, but the basis has not widened significantly during the price decline. The steel - tendering price is high. Consider long - short spreads (ferrosilicon - ferromanganese) or reverse spreads of ferromanganese's near - far months. Short on rebounds if there is an upward movement [17]. Soda Ash and Glass - For soda ash, maintain a short - on - rallies strategy and exit flexibly if the positive feedback continues. For glass, stay on the sidelines. The production of soda ash has increased, and the inventory is under pressure. The inventory of glass has increased, and the spot market is weak [18]. Non - Ferrous Metals and New Materials - Aluminum prices may be weakly volatile in the short - term due to weak demand in the off - season, but may rise in the long - term with the approaching peak season. Alumina prices may be strong in the short - term but weak in the long - term due to high supply and increasing inventory. Zinc prices are expected to weaken due to increasing inventory and supply. Lithium carbonate prices are supported by short - term supply - demand gaps and will be in a wide - range shock. Industrial silicon prices will be volatile, and polysilicon prices will be in a wide - range shock due to policy and supply - demand factors [20][21][22]. Agricultural Products - Cotton prices may be shorted on rallies in the long - term due to weak downstream demand and potential future production increases. Sugar prices are restricted by increasing supply, but attention should be paid to the Mid - Autumn and National Day stocking demand. Egg prices may have limited upside during the Mid - Autumn Festival due to large supply pressure. Apple prices can be long - short spread. Corn prices can be shorted on the far - month contract, and hog prices can be shorted cautiously on the near - month contract [27][30][33]. Energy and Chemicals - Crude oil may enter a supply - surplus pattern, and attention should be paid to US sanctions on Russia and the peak - season demand. Fuel oil and asphalt prices follow crude oil. Plastic prices are expected to be weakly volatile. Rubber prices may have limited downside. Methanol prices are expected to be weak. LPG prices are prone to fall due to sufficient supply and weak demand [40][42][43]. Pulp and Logs - Pulp fundamentals are turning to inventory accumulation, which restricts the price, but there is still support from the price - holding and production - cut of broad - leaf pulp. Consider spread trading opportunities. Log prices are affected by capital, and short - term observation is recommended [51][52]. Urea - In a weak fundamental environment, urea futures prices are expected to be weak. The spot price may decline further over the weekend, with weak new orders and downstream rigid demand [52]. Synthetic Rubber - Synthetic rubber prices are turning weakly volatile in the short - term, with limited downside. Consider short - term long - on - dips with a stop - loss and be cautious about chasing high prices [53].
