Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating but gives a medium - term outlook for each variety, including "Oscillation", "Oscillation with an upward bias", etc. 2. Core View The fundamentals of steel are improving, and the macro - environment is warm with the upcoming Central Economic Work Conference in December, overseas interest - rate cut expectations, and positive signals from the China - US presidential call. However, as the off - season deepens, the fundamentals have limited highlights, and the rebound momentum of the futures market weakens. Iron ore prices are strong due to expected restocking demand, and coking coal fundamentals are not significantly weakened, with support for far - month contracts. Glass prices are suppressed by high inventory, and soda ash prices are restricted by oversupply despite cost support [3]. 3. Summary by Variety Iron Element - **Iron Ore**: Overseas mine shipments decreased, arrivals increased this period, and port inventory decreased slightly. Short - term hot metal is expected to be supported, and restocking demand may be released, so iron ore prices are strong. The contradiction is not prominent, and prices are expected to run strongly [4][9]. - **Scrap Steel**: Supply increased and demand was stable. After the price decline, the cost - performance ratio recovered, and the downside space is limited. It is expected to oscillate [4][10]. Carbon Element - **Coke**: After profit repair and environmental protection relaxation, supply stabilized. Short - term steel mill demand supported inventory depletion, but cost support weakened, and there are expectations of price cuts. The futures market is expected to oscillate following coking coal [4][12]. - **Coking Coal**: Domestic supply remained low, and fundamentals were not significantly weakened. There are restocking expectations for winter storage. Near - month contracts are affected by delivery, expected to oscillate, and far - month contracts are expected to oscillate strongly [4][13]. Alloys - **Manganese Silicon**: Cost support remains, but the oversupply situation is difficult to reverse, and price pressure is high. The futures market is expected to run at a low level [4][16][17]. - **Silicon Iron**: High costs support the price bottom, but supply - demand is loose, suppressing the upside. The futures market is expected to run at a low level [7][18]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass**: Supply may be disrupted, but mid - and downstream inventory is high. If there is no more cold - repair by the end of the year, prices will be suppressed; otherwise, prices will rise. It is expected to oscillate weakly [7][14]. - **Soda Ash**: The price is close to the cost, with obvious bottom support, but oversupply restricts price increases. In the short term, it is expected to oscillate, and in the long term, the price center will decline [7][16]. 4. Market Data Steel - Spot market transactions were average. Steel mill profitability decreased, but production enthusiasm was high, and output increased slightly. Demand was resilient, and inventory continued to decline, but it was still higher than the same period last year [9]. Iron Ore - Port transactions decreased. Spot prices mostly rose. Off - season hot metal may decline seasonally, but there is short - term support, and restocking demand has not been released. Short - term prices are expected to oscillate strongly [9]. Scrap Steel - Arrivals increased this week, and EAF profits improved. Supply increased, demand was stable, and prices are expected to oscillate [10]. Coke - Futures followed coking coal to oscillate under pressure. Spot prices were stable. Supply increased slightly, demand decreased slightly, and inventory in coking enterprises increased slightly. It is expected to oscillate following coking coal [12]. Coking Coal - Futures oscillated under pressure. Spot prices declined. Domestic supply recovery was slow, imports were high, demand weakened, and inventory in mines increased slightly. Near - month contracts are expected to oscillate, and far - month contracts are expected to oscillate strongly [13]. Glass - Spot prices were stable. Supply may be disrupted, and mid - and downstream inventory was high. If there is no more cold - repair, prices will be suppressed; otherwise, prices will rise. It is expected to oscillate weakly [14]. Soda Ash - Spot prices declined. Supply was flat, demand was weak, and inventory decreased. In the short term, it is expected to oscillate, and in the long term, the price center will decline [14][16]. Manganese Silicon - Futures prices first rose and then fell. Spot prices were stable. Cost support was strong, but supply - demand was loose, and prices are expected to run at a low level [16][17]. Silicon Iron - Futures prices oscillated. Spot prices were stable. High costs supported the price bottom, but supply - demand was loose, and prices are expected to run at a low level [18]. 5. Index Data - **Comprehensive Index**: The commodity index, commodity 20 index, industrial product index, and PPI commodity index all increased on November 25, 2025 [100]. - **Plate Index**: The steel industry chain index increased by 0.30% on November 25, 2025, with a 0.08% increase in the past 5 days, a - 1.93% decrease in the past month, and a - 5.92% decrease since the beginning of the year [101].

Ethylene Glycol Futures Market Data Change Analysis - **Main Contract and Basis**: The price of the main ethylene glycol futures contract rose from 3,808 yuan/ton to 3,884 yuan/ton, an increase of 76 yuan or 2.0%, while the spot price in East China remained stable at 3,845 yuan/ton The basis (spot minus futures) was -39 yuan/ton, indicating a deeper discount and an expanded premium of the futures market relative to the spot, possibly driven by the capital side [2]. - **Open Interest and Trading Volume**: The open interest of the main contract decreased from 353,300 lots to 317,468 lots, a decrease of 35,832 lots or 10.14%, suggesting that some long or short positions were closed The trading volume increased significantly from 164,315 lots to 282,100 lots, an increase of 117,785 lots or 71.68%, indicating increased market trading activity, but the decrease in open interest implies that short - term speculative behavior is dominant [2]. *** Industry Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Change Analysis - **Supply Side**: The overall ethylene glycol operating rate remained stable at 67.63%, with the oil - based operating rate at 76.23% and the coal - based operating rate at 54.29% However, the profit structure was divided The oil - based profit (such as ethylene oxidation method) generally deteriorated, for example, the profit of ethylene - SHELL oxidation method decreased from - 799 yuan/ton to - 889 yuan/ton, a decrease of 90 yuan, indicating rising crude oil cost pressure The coal - based profit improved from 112.46 yuan/ton to 187.07 yuan/ton, an increase of 75 yuan, indicating that the decrease in coal cost supported coal - based production capacity [2]. - **Demand Side**: The load of downstream polyester factories remained stable at 89.42%, and the load of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms remained at 63.43%, showing no change, reflecting stable terminal demand without significant improvement or deterioration The high load of the polyester sector supported ethylene glycol consumption, but the low loom load indicated weak terminal textile demand [3]. - **Inventory Side**: The inventory at the main ports in East China increased from 661,000 tons to 732,000 tons, an increase of 71,000 tons or 10.74% The inventory in Zhangjiagang increased from 215,000 tons to 275,000 tons, an increase of 60,000 tons or 27.91%, indicating obvious inventory accumulation, increased port arrivals or insufficient shipments, and increased inventory pressure [3]. *** Price Trend Judgment: The ethylene glycol price is expected to maintain a volatile pattern, with the upside limited by inventory pressure and the deterioration of oil - based profits On the supply side, the operating rate is stable but the profit is divided, with rising crude oil costs suppressing oil - based production capacity and falling coal costs benefiting coal - based production On the demand side, the high load of polyester provides support, but the low loom load and continuous inventory accumulation highlight the pressure of loose supply - demand The arrival of foreign goods is not mentioned to have changed, but the inventory increase implies potential import pressure Overall, the short - term rise of futures is driven by active trading, but the high inventory and stable demand in the fundamentals will limit the upside space, and the price may fluctuate in the bottom range [3].

Core Viewpoint - Nvidia has become a focal point in discussions regarding the value of AI and related stocks due to a series of stock sell-offs and accounting fraud allegations, prompting the company to respond to market skepticism with a detailed memo addressing twelve key concerns raised by investors [1][2]. Group 1: Nvidia's Response to Investor Concerns - Nvidia's investor relations team sent a seven-page memo to Wall Street analysts addressing various doubts, including a response to Michael Burry's criticism regarding stock-based compensation dilution and stock buybacks, clarifying that the total amount spent on share repurchases since 2018 is $91 billion, not the $112.5 billion claimed by Burry [2]. - The memo also refuted allegations comparing Nvidia's situation to historical accounting fraud cases, asserting that the company's core business fundamentals are strong and its financial reporting is transparent, emphasizing that it does not use special purpose entities to hide debt or inflate profits [2]. - Nvidia addressed concerns about the economic value of its hardware, stating that customers set GPU depreciation periods based on actual usage, with older models like the A100 still generating significant profits, contrary to claims that their economic lifespan is only 2 to 3 years [2]. Group 2: Analyst Insights on Financial Metrics - Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that Nvidia's financial results align with industry norms, countering claims of anomalies in accounts receivable turnover days (Days Sales Outstanding, DSO) and inventory levels [3]. - Kuo explained that the increase in DSO from an average of 46 days (2020-2024) to 53 days in Q3 2026 is reasonable due to a significant rise in customer concentration from 23.8% to 65%, reflecting the bargaining power of major customers [4]. - Regarding inventory, Kuo clarified that the reported 32% increase in inventory for Q3 2026 is consistent with industry trends and that the majority of the inventory consists of work-in-progress items, indicating preparations for strong demand for the new Blackwell B300 chip [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - After the restart of previously overhauled devices, the short - term domestic output of cis - butadiene rubber is expected to increase, and the inventories of production enterprises and trading enterprises are also expected to rise slightly. The cost side support has strengthened slightly, but high - premium offers and private price - holding strategies have difficulty attracting buyers. Last week, tire enterprises had insufficient orders, some arranged overhauls and some reduced production, dragging down tire capacity utilization. As the production scheduling of overhauled enterprises gradually recovers, the tire enterprises' capacity utilization may show a restorative increase this week, but the overall demand improvement space is limited, and enterprise production control will continue to restrict the increase in capacity utilization. The br2601 contract is expected to fluctuate between 10,000 - 10,500 in the short term [2]. 3.
