Macro Finance Stock Index Futures - Adopt a shock - rising strategy and pay attention to the style switch between IH and IC. The A - share market shows differentiation, with inflation data better than expected and export decline affected by high - base and holiday factors [10][11]. Treasury Bond Futures - Monetary policy implementation is in the realization period, and bonds still have upward momentum. Pay attention to the rhythm. The market digests inflation data, and bonds show a strong trend. The decline in exports is affected by multiple factors, and moderately loose monetary policy should be implemented [12]. Black Steel and Iron Ore - In the short term, the black market will be in shock consolidation, and in the medium term (winter), it will maintain a short - on - rallies strategy. Policy events are basically settled, and the industry will return to fundamentals. Demand for building materials is weak, while demand for coils is okay. Steel mills' profits are low, and iron ore and other raw material prices are weak [14]. Coking Coal and Coke - The prices of coking coal and coke may continue to fluctuate in the short term. Pay attention to the impact of mine inspections and downstream molten iron output. In the short term, molten iron output may decline, and coking coal supply is restricted. However, weak steel demand in the off - season and potential negative feedback will limit price increases [16][17]. Ferroalloys - In the long - term, the oversupply of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese is difficult to ease. Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy. In the short - term, also take a short - on - rallies approach, but be cautious due to the firm performance of manganese ore and rising lanthanum charcoal prices [18]. Soda Ash and Glass - Currently, adopt a wait - and - see strategy. Glass prices are weak, and soda ash prices are strong. Glass enterprises reduce prices after poor sales, and some soda ash plants raise prices due to cost increases and production cuts [19]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials Zinc - Hold short positions at high levels. Domestic zinc inventories slightly increase, and zinc prices are high due to inventory fluctuations and macro - positive factors. Downstream demand is cautious, and spot trading is mainly among traders [21]. Lithium Carbonate - In the short - term, the fundamentals are good, but there is an expectation of weakening demand in Q1 next year. After the price correction, consider buying on dips [21]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - Industrial silicon has no prominent supply - demand contradiction and will fluctuate within a range. Polysilicon's price is supported by spot prices, and its upper limit depends on capacity merger policies. It will also fluctuate within a narrow range [24]. Agricultural Products Cotton - Cotton prices will fluctuate at a low level. Supply pressure is increasing, and demand is weak. The end of the US government shutdown is beneficial for market confidence. Pay attention to USDA reports [28]. Sugar - Domestic sugar prices are under pressure from supply expectations but supported by production costs. Adopt a wait - and - see strategy before new sugar supply increases significantly. Global sugar supply is expected to be in surplus [30]. Eggs - Egg futures are strong due to "capacity reduction" expectations, but the premium over spot may limit the upside. Spot prices may be strong in November but with limited upside. It is recommended to wait and see, and aggressive investors can short near - month contracts [33]. Apples - Apple prices will fluctuate strongly. The apple storage season is nearly over, and inventory is lower than last year. Pay attention to price trends and post - storage sales [35]. Corn - Adopt a wait - and - see strategy and pay attention to the upside pressure on the futures. Corn prices have rebounded, but supply pressure is still accumulating. Pay attention to new - grain sales progress and wheat policy [36]. Red Dates - Adopt a wait - and - see strategy. Weak spot sales in the distribution area drag down new - jujube ordering prices, and the futures fluctuate [38]. Pigs - Supply pressure continues, and demand is average. Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy for near - month contracts and control positions. Supply is high, and short - term sales pressure remains [38]. Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - Crude oil prices are expected to fluctuate. EIA inventories are increasing, and there is an expectation of supply surplus in Q1 next year. OPEC+ slows down production increases, but the long - term supply - demand imbalance remains [41]. Fuel Oil - Fuel oil prices will follow crude oil prices. Supply is loose, and demand is weak. The focus is on supply concerns after sanctions on Russia [43]. Plastics - Polyolefins are expected to fluctuate weakly due to supply pressure, but production losses may provide some support [44]. Rubber - Rubber prices are expected to fluctuate slightly stronger. Consider going long on dips with stop - losses. Pay attention to the spread between RU and NR [45]. Synthetic Rubber - Be cautious about going long on synthetic rubber. It may continue to fluctuate weakly due to raw material drag. Pay attention to downstream procurement and macro - sentiment [46]. Methanol - Methanol prices fluctuate greatly. Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy for near - month contracts and wait for a long - entry opportunity for far - month contracts after a rebound driver appears [47]. Caustic Soda - Adopt a short - on - rallies strategy for caustic soda and consider going long on dips. Spot prices are stable, and futures prices are affected by coking coal prices [49]. Asphalt - Asphalt prices are expected to have a larger fluctuation range. The focus is on the price bottom after winter - storage games. Crude oil prices are stable, and asphalt demand is entering the end - stage [50]. Polyester Industry Chain - The polyester industry chain is expected to be strong in the short - term. Pay attention to unexpected device changes. PX supply is stable, PTA supply pressure may ease, and ethylene glycol inventory is high [51]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - In the long - term, adopt a short strategy for LPG. In the short - term, prices may fluctuate strongly due to the approaching peak demand season [53]. Pulp - Adopt a wait - and - see strategy for pulp. Fundamentals are stable, and the upside space is limited [53]. Logs - Log prices are expected to be under pressure. Fundamentals are weakly balanced, and inventory is expected to increase [54]. Urea - Operate according to policies and pay attention to basis pressure. Adopt a wide - range fluctuation strategy. Spot prices are rising, but the follow - up power is insufficient [54].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - After the release of October inflation data, the month-on-month PPI unexpectedly turned positive, with non-ferrous metals performing prominently. However, the month-on-month PPI is not expected to continuously exceed expectations, and the rise in non-ferrous metal prices alone is insufficient to drive a significant increase in PPI. The year-on-year recovery of PPI next year is mainly due to the base effect, and the recovery of non-ferrous metal prices alone cannot support the year-on-year PPI to significantly exceed 0 [2]. - The reasons for the unexpected positive month-on-month PPI in October include the continuous deviation of the prediction results of PMI ex-factory prices and purchase prices since August, the lag effect of the recovery of upstream prices in the third quarter due to poor demand, and the support of coal and non-ferrous metals at the industry level. It is also expected that the year-on-year PPI may remain volatile within the year [2]. - Although the weight of non-ferrous related industries in PPI has increased, oil, black metals, and coal still dominate. A 10% increase in the month-on-month price of the non-ferrous metal industry will drive a 0.6 percentage point increase in the month-on-month PPI, and a 10% increase in the 3-month moving average of copper prices will lead to a 0.135 percentage point recovery in the month-on-month PPI [2]. - Regarding the conditions for the year-on-year PPI to turn positive next year, only in scenarios where the month-on-month PPI remains at 0.1% or follows the seasonal pattern will the year-on-year PPI turn positive in the middle of next year. Based on the assumption of commodity price trends, the year-on-year PPI will turn positive in August next year [2]. Summary by Directory 1. Why did the month-on-month PPI exceed expectations? - Since August, the prediction results of PMI ex-factory prices and purchase prices have continuously deviated, and the performance of purchase prices is significantly better than that of ex-factory prices, which led to the deviation of the October prediction results [5]. - Poor demand caused a lag effect in the recovery of upstream prices in the third quarter. From July to September, the month-on-month PPI of production materials showed an obvious recovery trend [5]. - At the industry level, coal and non-ferrous metals supported the unexpected positive month-on-month PPI in October. The coal price increase was driven by anti-involution policies, and the sharp rise in copper prices was due to global supply disruptions and increased demand from AI enterprise capital expenditures [5]. 2. Has the weight of non-ferrous metals in PPI increased? 2.1 From an industry perspective, the proportion of non-ferrous metals has increased, but oil and black metals are still the main contributors - The weight of non-ferrous related industries has increased. Compared with 2020, the revenue share of the non-ferrous metal smelting and processing industry in 2024 increased by 1.24 percentage points to 6.24%. However, since 2020, the industries with the largest contributions have still been oil, black metals, coal, non-ferrous metals, and chemicals [2][11]. - The revenue share of each industry in 2024 did not show obvious structural changes compared with 2020. The top ten industries remained the same, only with slight changes in the ranking order [12]. - The industry concentration has increased, and the industries with a significant increase in proportion are those with high weights. The top five industries with an increase in proportion are the electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry, power and heat production and supply industry, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry, and gas production and supply industry [13]. - A 10 percentage point month-on-month increase in the non-ferrous metal industry will drive a 0.6 percentage point increase in the month-on-month PPI. Assuming the prices of other industries remain unchanged, a moderate recovery in non-ferrous metal prices will drive the year-on-year PPI to turn positive in June next year [16]. 2.2 From the perspective of underlying commodities, the predictive role of copper prices has increased - Using the combination of oil and steel for prediction had good results before 2020, but the prediction effect weakened significantly after 2020 [18]. - Adding copper improved the prediction effect for the period after 2022, and replacing copper with aluminum also improved the prediction effect, but not as effectively as copper [18]. - Adding coal improved the overall prediction effect, and the combination of oil, steel, copper, and coal had the best prediction effect [19]. - A 10% increase in the 3-month moving average of copper prices will drive a 0.135 percentage point increase in the month-on-month PPI. Assuming the prices of oil, steel, and coal remain unchanged, a moderate month-on-month increase in copper prices can support the year-on-year PPI to turn positive in July next year [20]. 3. Conditions for the year-on-year PPI to turn positive 3.1 Even if prices remain unchanged, the year-on-year PPI will be around 0 next year - Assuming the month-on-month PPI remains around 0%, the year-on-year PPI will be difficult to turn positive next year [26]. - Assuming the month-on-month PPI remains at 0.1%, the year-on-year PPI will turn positive in June next year [27]. - Assuming the month-on-month PPI follows the seasonal pattern, the year-on-year PPI will turn positive in July next year, and by the end of 2026, the year-on-year PPI will recover to around 0.9% [29]. 3.2 From the perspective of anti-involution - One method is to predict each major industry category based on the understanding of anti-involution policies and then estimate the overall month-on-month PPI based on weights. However, this method has two problems: anti-involution does not necessarily lead to price increases, and it only focuses on the supply side while ignoring the demand side [31]. - Another method is to estimate the recovery trend of PPI based on historical experience. Referring to the previous round of supply-side reforms, it took 9 months for the year-on-year PPI to turn positive. Based on this, the year-on-year PPI is expected to turn positive around mid-2026 [32]. 3.3 Based on the price prediction model of oil, steel, copper, and coal - It is expected that the Brent crude oil price will decline slightly to $60 per barrel, the price of rebar will first decline and then rise slightly to 3,400 yuan per ton, the LME copper price will rise moderately to around $11,000 per ton, and the coking coal price will recover moderately to 1,300 yuan per ton. Based on this, the year-on-year PPI will turn positive in August next year [33].
