The decline in aluminum prices is limited due to the approaching consumption peak season. Alumina's fundamentals are weak, but its price is close to the cost line, so the downside is limited. Zinc prices are under pressure due to increasing social inventories. Nickel and stainless steel prices may oscillate in the short term, and attention should be paid to supply and policy changes.

Iron ore has upward potential in the far - month contracts. Coke and coking coal prices are under pressure due to supply - demand imbalances. The supply of steel products is still excessive, and although there is marginal improvement in peak - season demand, prices are under pressure [1]. - **Agricultural Products**: Palm oil may be bought at the lower end of the oscillation range. Soybean oil is expected to reduce inventory in the fourth quarter and is bullish in the long - term. Rapeseed oil is recommended for buying and calendar spread trading.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - The bond market is expected to gradually return to the fundamentals and asset shortage situation through incremental restoration in a volatile manner. The 10-year Treasury bond above 1.8% still has allocation value, and the long-term bond yield is expected to return to around the level before this round of adjustment by the end of the year, with the 10-year Treasury bond likely to recover to around 1.6% - 1.65% [6][21]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond Market Performance This Week - The bond market rose first and then fell this week, remaining volatile overall. The yields of 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds increased by 1.1bps and 2.1bps respectively to 1.80% and 2.10%. The yields of certificates of deposit and credit bonds remained stable or declined slightly, with the 1-year AAA certificate of deposit yield rising slightly by 0.5bps to 1.68%, and the yields of 3-year and 5-year AAA - secondary capital bonds falling by 2.6bps and 1.5bps respectively to 2.00% and 2.13% [1][9]. 3.2 Deviation of the Bond Market from Fundamentals and Capital - **Deviation from fundamentals**: The bond market trend is inconsistent with the fundamentals. The terminal demand calculated by export, infrastructure, and real estate investment decreased from 5.2% in April to 0.5% in August, and the year-on-year growth rate of industrial added value decreased from 6.8% in June to 5.2% in August. The manufacturing PMI has been below 49.5%, indicating relatively low economic prosperity, which is inconsistent with the overall upward trend of long-term bond yields in the past two months [2][10]. - **Deviation from capital**: The long-term bond also deviates significantly from the capital trend. The 20-day moving average of R007 has been declining since late February, from around 2.2% to around 1.5% currently, while the long-term bond yield has been rising in the past two months, and the spread between the two has reached over 30bps, a relatively high level in the past two years [2][10]. 3.3 Historical Situation of Interest Rate Deviation - Historically, it is rare for interest rates to deviate from both capital and fundamentals simultaneously. Previously, interest rate adjustments were usually accompanied by improvements in fundamentals or tightening of capital, and most of the time, changes in fundamentals and capital preceded interest rate adjustments. For example, in March 2016, the manufacturing PMI rose above the boom - bust line, and the interest rate recovery occurred in the fourth quarter of 2016 [3][13]. 3.4 Logic of Interest Rate Change - It is more logical for changes in capital or fundamentals to lead long - term interest rates. Interest rate is the financing cost. For the real economy, interest rates can only achieve a trend recovery when demand continues to rise. If the fundamentals are still weak and financing demand is insufficient, a premature rise in interest rates will suppress the fundamentals [4][18]. 3.5 Special Situation of Current Deviation - The current simultaneous deviation of long - term bonds from fundamentals and capital has its particularity. Part of the reason for the relative weakness of long - term bonds is the over - rise from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, and part of the triggering factor is the increase in risk appetite brought about by the rise of the stock market. However, from multiple perspectives such as the downward speed of broad - spectrum interest rates, interest rate cut expectations, curve slope, and the interpretability of fundamentals, the previous over - rise may have been digested, and subsequent interest rates are expected to return to the fundamentals and asset shortage situation [4][18]. 3.6 Situation in the Fourth Quarter - **Increasing possibility of asset shortage**: Asset supply is expected to further decline. If the net financing of government bonds in September is 1.3 trillion, the net financing of government bonds in the first nine months of this year is 11.6 trillion. According to the budget, the net financing in the fourth quarter is about 2.2 trillion. Even if 1 trillion of refinancing bonds for next year are advanced to this year, the net financing of government bonds in the fourth quarter will still be about 0.7 trillion less than last year. At the same time, the issuance of refinancing bonds may further increase the replacement of assets such as credit, and overall asset supply will further decline. However, fiscal deposits will continue to decrease year - on - year, and the central bank's bond trading will also increase capital supply, so the asset shortage may intensify [5][19]. - **Increasing possibility of fundamental pressure**: From the perspective of industrial product prices, the production material price index of the Ministry of Commerce has been falling since early August, and the PPI month - on - month in September may turn negative again, indicating that the fundamental pressure may increase [5][19]. 3.7 Bond Market Outlook and Investment Suggestions - **Bond market outlook**: The decline in the real return rate determines that the downward trend of broad - spectrum interest rates such as loan interest rates has not changed. The over - rise of interest rates at the beginning of the year has gradually been digested. Therefore, the current interest rate adjustment space is limited, and the bond market will gradually return to the fundamentals and asset shortage situation, but this return may be achieved through incremental restoration in a volatile manner [6][21]. - **Investment suggestions**: A dumbbell - shaped operation is recommended, that is, short - term credit/certificates of deposit + long - term interest rates. High - selling and low - buying band operations can be carried out on long - term interest rate positions [6][21].
