中新 国家统计局15日发布的数据显示,8月份,70个大中城市中,各线城市商品住宅销售价格环比下降,同比降幅 总体继续收窄。58安居客研究院院长张波指出,虽然房价下跌态势延续,但政策利好效应逐步显现,市场信 心出现积极变化,房产经纪行业景气度与找房热度回升,预示市场出现底部特征,为"金九银十"传统旺季奠 定基础。 ...

掐指一算，金九银十半个月了，广州二手楼市成色如何？ 我翻了下数据。 图源贝壳 贝壳显示，上周末两天，平台总体成交331套，不差，但也不算好。 要知道，这个数比前一周（9月6-7日）少了23套；比8月最后一个周末（8月30-31日）少了17套。 可以这么说，针对二手市场而言，传统金九银十的旺季，今年并没有如约而至，反而还有所式微。 这背后，中介着急，但房东更着急。 今早，我看到贝壳这个楼市看板，就知道大事不妙。 图源贝壳 昨天（9月14日、周日），平台单日涨价房源96套，环比前一天下降11.1%，看房人数3996人，环比下降19.1%； 而降价房源套数却飙至2565套，环比涨了18.8%。 为啥说是"飙"呢？ 据我观察，贝壳1天内的降价房源很少会出现2000+套/天，以往1000+套/天就差不多了。 但在上周末，情况却很异常。周六全平台降价了2159套，上了2000套的线，第二天套数不止没减，反而还增加了400+套。 2565套/天，无情地创了近30天（包含工作日+双休日）的新高。 更恐怖的是，也创下自去年4月20日贝壳开放该数据口径以来，周末单日降价房源量的新高。 仅两天，降价4724套；降价房源套数环比前一 ...

With interest rate cut expectations and the "Golden September and Silver October" season, zinc prices are expected to fluctuate. However, medium - to long - term supply increases will put pressure on the upside [11]. - Tin: In the short term, the tin market shows a situation of weak supply and demand [13]. 3.

Macroeconomic factors such as a surge in US initial jobless claims and moderate inflation increase may lead the Fed to restart interest rate cuts. Fundamentally, domestic electrolytic aluminum production capacity remains high, the industry's start - up rate increased slightly, the aluminum - water ratio is expected to rise slightly, the cost is stable, and downstream demand is recovering. As of September 15, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in domestic mainstream consumption areas was 637,000 tons, and the de - stocking inflection point needs further observation [9]. - View: Expected to be mainly strong in the near term [9]. - **Zinc** - Logic: Last week, zinc prices fluctuated. The SMM Zn50 weekly TC average price decreased, and domestic zinc mine production profits were compressed. Smelters have strong production enthusiasm due to high profits. The galvanizing start - up rate increased, and zinc ingot inventories increased. The domestic consumption lacks obvious "peak season" characteristics [10]. - View: Expected to fluctuate in the short term, with medium - to long - term supply pressure [11]. - **Tin** - Logic: In July, China's tin ore imports decreased year - on - year and month - on - month. Myanmar's tin production progress is slow. Supply shortages in Yunnan and Jiangxi have led to a decline in smelter start - up rates. Downstream demand is average, showing a situation of weak supply and demand [13]. - View: Short - term weak supply and demand [13]. 03.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Under the influence of macro factors, zinc prices may show a strong trend. Considering the long - term oversupply of zinc, investors can lightly short at high prices; for arbitrage, it is advisable to wait and see [5]. - From a fundamental perspective, domestic refined zinc supply may decrease slightly in September.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report - Both steel and iron ore futures prices may fluctuate with a bullish bias. For steel, although the terminal demand in August was under pressure, the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season characteristics may become more obvious in mid - to late September, and the replenishment demand before the National Day holiday may be released. The strengthening of counter - cyclical adjustment policies may also support the demand. For iron ore, despite the long - term pressure on demand due to the upcoming steel industry stability - growth plan, the short - term demand may remain resilient due to the peak season and policy support [1][2][3]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Fundamental Production, Sales, and Inventory Changes Lead to Differentiated Performance of Steel and Iron Ore Futures Prices - Last week, affected by fundamental production, sales, and inventory changes, the futures prices of steel and iron ore main contracts showed differentiation. The futures price of the rebar main contract fluctuated weakly, down 0.51% for the week, while the futures prices of hot - rolled coil and iron ore main contracts fluctuated strongly, up 0.72% and 1.27% respectively for the week. The decline of rebar was due to weak consumption and inventory accumulation, while the rise of hot - rolled coil was due to increased consumption and inventory destocking. The rise of iron ore was supported by tight supply caused by a sharp drop in overseas ore shipments and increased demand from the resumption of production of steel mills in North China [4]. 2. The Pressure of Inventory Accumulation of Steel and Iron Ore May Be Limited Due to the Improvement of Supply - Demand, Peak Season Characteristics, and Policy Support (1) Steel: The Peak Season and Holiday Characteristics Become More Obvious, and the Strengthening of Stability - Growth Policies May Lead to a Bullish Bias in Futures Prices - **Terminal demand may be supported**: Although the terminal demand for steel in August was under pressure, in mid - to late September, the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season characteristics may become more obvious, and the replenishment demand before the National Day holiday may be released. The strengthening of counter - cyclical adjustment policies, such as the possible restart of Fed rate cuts, the adequacy of fiscal policy space, and the implementation of relevant policies, may support the demand for steel [10][11]. - **Steel production may be under pressure**: Although the profitability of steel mills is in doubt and the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season is approaching, the improvement of steel mill profits still faces challenges due to the uncertain terminal demand and supply disturbances of raw materials. The upcoming steel industry stability - growth plan may also put pressure on steel production, especially for building materials [22][23]. - **The pressure of inventory accumulation of rebar and hot - rolled coil may be limited**: Although the terminal demand in August was under pressure and the apparent demand for rebar continued to decline last week, the peak season characteristics and policy support may lead to marginal improvement in demand, and the overall inventory accumulation pressure of rebar and hot - rolled coil may be limited [37]. (2) Iron Ore: Steel Mill Profits Are Still Supported, and the Strengthening of Stability - Growth Policies May Lead to a Bullish Bias in Futures Prices - **Iron ore demand may be resilient in the short term but under pressure in the long term**: Although the upcoming steel industry stability - growth plan may suppress iron ore demand in the long term, in the short term, the peak season characteristics, the release of replenishment demand before the National Day holiday, and policy support may keep the iron ore demand resilient. However, the uncertain terminal demand and supply disturbances of raw materials may still pose challenges to steel mill profits and iron ore demand [40][42]. - **The pressure of tight supply of iron ore may be limited**: Overseas ore shipments are entering the peak season, and the new production capacity of overseas mines and domestic "Cornerstone Plan" may increase the supply of iron ore, so the pressure of tight supply may be limited [48]. - **The short - term inventory accumulation of iron ore ports may be limited**: Although there is long - term pressure on iron ore demand and inventory accumulation, the short - term demand may remain resilient due to the peak season and policy support, so the short - term inventory accumulation amplitude of iron ore ports may be limited [53]. 3. The Peak Season and Holiday Characteristics Become More Obvious, and the Strengthening of Stability - Growth Policies May Lead to a Bullish Bias in Steel and Iron Ore Futures Prices - **Steel**: The futures price may fluctuate with a bullish bias. Steel producers and traders with high inventory levels are advised to speed up the sales rhythm, while traders with low inventory levels and downstream and terminal procurement enterprises can slow down the procurement rhythm or establish short - term buying hedging positions on the futures market. Investors are advised to take short - term long positions on dips, and arbitrageurs can try to go long on the rebar - to - iron - ore ratio, all with attention to stop - profit and stop - loss [55][56]. - **Iron Ore**: The futures price may fluctuate with a bullish bias. Steel mills or traders with low inventory levels are advised to slow down the procurement rhythm or establish short - term buying hedging positions on the futures market, while traders with high inventory levels can speed up the sales rhythm. Investors are advised to use a range - trading strategy of high - selling and low - buying, and arbitrageurs can try to go long on the rebar - to - iron - ore ratio, all with attention to stop - profit and stop - loss [57].
