Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the black building materials sector is "oscillation" [7] Core View of the Report - As the off - season begins, the expectation of weakening steel demand remains unchanged, and the inventory depletion is expected to slow down, putting pressure on steel prices. With the weakening of environmental protection restrictions, the weekly hot metal output is expected to stop falling and rise, supporting the demand for furnace materials. The coal mine production remains restricted this week, and the coal mine inventory continues to decline at a low level. The coking coal fundamentals are still supported, corresponding to the price stop - falling and rising since yesterday. The strong furnace material prices further support the steel cost. With no new changes in macro and policies, the prices of short - term sector varieties will maintain an oscillatory operation [2]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Overall Situation of Iron, Carbon, and Alloy Elements - **Iron Element**: This week, hot metal output shows signs of stopping decline, but considering the seasonal maintenance of steel enterprises in the traditional off - season, the overall downward trend of hot metal remains unchanged, corresponding to the marginal weakening of iron ore fundamentals. However, there are still disturbances from internal and external macro and policy expectations, and the short - term price is expected to oscillate. The supply and demand of scrap steel both increase, with no prominent fundamental contradictions. The short - term finished product prices are under pressure, and scrap steel prices are expected to follow the finished products [3]. - **Carbon Element**: After three rounds of coke price increases, the profit pressure on steel mills is relatively large, so the expectation of a fourth - round price increase is currently small. Given the strong cost support for coke and the continued procurement demand from steel mills, the coke price is expected to oscillate. This week, both domestic coking coal supply and upstream inventory have decreased, and the coking coal fundamentals remain relatively healthy. It is expected that coking coal supply will still be difficult to improve in the future. With continuous procurement from the middle and lower reaches, coal mine inventory has dropped to a low level in recent years, and the short - term fundamentals remain healthy. The coking coal price is expected to oscillate [3]. - **Alloy**: In the short term, the firm cost supports the price of ferromanganese - silicon, but the market supply - demand continues to have a pessimistic expectation, and there is insufficient driving force for the price increase of ferromanganese - silicon. The strong short - term cost trend supports the price of ferrosilicon, but the market supply - demand relationship is relatively loose, suppressing the upward price space [3]. 2. Glass and Soda Ash - Supply disturbance expectations have fermented again, and the supply side faces short - term downward risks. However, the inventory of middle and lower reaches is moderately high. If the production and sales continue to be weak, the price will return to an oscillatory and weak state. In the long - term, market - oriented capacity reduction is still needed. If the market refocuses on fundamentals, the price may continue to oscillate downward. Recently, downstream enterprises have started to replenish inventory as they think the price is appropriate. After the inventory of soda ash plants is depleted, the price has slightly increased, and it is expected to oscillate in the short - term [4][7]. 3. Specific Analysis of Each Variety - **Steel**: The spot market transactions are generally weak, mainly at low prices. Recently, the profit of steel mills has marginally improved, but affected by environmental protection restrictions and seasonal maintenance of steel mills, hot metal output has declined from a high level, and steel production shows a downward trend. As the peak season is coming to an end, the demand side faces the pressure of falling from a high level. Steel inventory continues to be depleted, but the depletion speed has slowed down, and the inventory level remains higher than the same period last year. The short - term macro - sentiment has cooled down, and the futures market is expected to be under pressure for adjustment, but the cost side still has support, and the downward space of the futures market is limited [9]. - **Iron Ore**: The port transactions have decreased, and the spot market transactions have weakened. From a fundamental perspective, the overseas mine shipping end is relatively stable, and the arrival volume has fluctuated greatly in the past month, but the average arrival volume basically meets expectations. The demand side has a slight increase in the daily consumption of sintered powder ore, and there is an expectation of a month - on - month increase in hot metal, but the profitability rate of steel mills continues to weaken, and the peak season is gradually ending, which may limit the recovery space of hot metal. In terms of inventory, under sintering restrictions, the inventory of sintered powder ore has increased month - on - month, and the production and inventory of sintered ore have slightly decreased. The market sentiment is weak, but the price still has support when the demand does not weaken significantly [9]. - **Scrap Steel**: The arrival volume of scrap steel has increased slightly this week, approaching the level of the same period last year. The demand has also increased, with an increase in the daily consumption of electric furnaces in various regions. The overall daily consumption of scrap steel in 255 steel mills has decreased. The fundamentals of scrap steel have no prominent contradictions, and the short - term finished product prices are under pressure. Scrap steel prices are expected to follow the finished products [11]. - **Coke**: The futures market oscillates, and the spot price in Rizhao Port remains unchanged. After three rounds of price increases, the supply of coke is difficult to increase due to environmental protection and maintenance. The demand side is affected by environmental protection in Tangshan, and hot metal has declined significantly in the short - term. If the environmental protection inspection intensity weakens in the future, hot metal may still have a slight upward trend. The overall supply - demand of coke is relatively healthy, and the fundamentals have no major contradictions. After three rounds of price increases, the profit pressure on steel mills is large, so the expectation of a fourth - round price increase is small. Given the strong cost support and the continued procurement demand from steel mills, the coke price is expected to oscillate [13]. - **Coking Coal**: The futures market oscillates, and the spot price has increased. The supply of domestic coking coal and upstream inventory have both decreased this week. The import volume at the Ganqimaodu Port remains high, but high - quality resources at the port are still in short supply. The downstream coking enterprises still have the enthusiasm to replenish inventory, and the coal mine inventory has dropped to a low level in recent years. The short - term fundamentals remain healthy, and the coking coal price is expected to oscillate [14]. - **Glass**: The supply disturbance expectation has fermented again, and the supply side faces short - term downward risks. However, the inventory of middle and lower reaches is moderately high. If the production and sales continue to be weak, the price will return to an oscillatory and weak state. In the long - term, market - oriented capacity reduction is still needed, and if the price returns to fundamental trading, it is expected to oscillate downward [15]. - **Soda Ash**: The downstream has started to replenish inventory at low prices, and the spot price has slightly increased. The supply side has a daily output of 104,000 tons, and some manufacturers are under maintenance, with the output remaining unchanged month - on - month. The demand side has a stable and good demand for heavy soda ash, and the downstream procurement of light soda ash has recovered to some extent. The supply - demand fundamentals have no obvious changes, and the industry is still in the stage of clearing at the bottom of the cycle. It is expected that the price will oscillate in the short - term, and in the long - term, the supply surplus pattern will further intensify, and the price center will continue to decline [15][17]. - **Ferromanganese - Silicon**: The futures market price has slightly increased, and the cost support and supply - demand pressure are in a stalemate. The spot market is waiting for the performance of the new round of steel tenders, and the manufacturers' shipment situation is average, with the downstream's price - cutting sentiment remaining. The short - term cost is firm, supporting the price of ferromanganese - silicon, but the market supply - demand continues to have a pessimistic expectation, and there is insufficient driving force for the price increase [17]. - **Ferrosilicon**: The futures market price is strongly oscillating, and the settlement electricity price increase strengthens the cost support, but the loose supply - demand suppresses the increase in the futures market. The spot market remains stable, and manufacturers are reluctant to sell at low prices due to cost pressure. The short - term cost trend is strong, supporting the price of ferrosilicon, but the market supply - demand relationship is relatively loose, and there is insufficient driving force for the price to rise [18].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content was provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For soybeans and soybean meal, the import cost is expected to fluctuate. Short - term soybean meal prices may rise with import costs, and the profit margin for oil extraction may recover, but in the medium term, the global soybean supply is expected to be abundant, and a strategy of selling on rebounds is recommended [2][3]. - For palm oil, the high - yield in Malaysia and Indonesia suppresses the market. If the high production in Indonesia does not continue, the inventory accumulation situation may reverse in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year. Before the export of Malaysian palm oil improves, it should be regarded as oscillating weakly, and a long - position strategy can be considered when there are signs of production decline [5][6][7]. - For sugar, due to strengthened import controls on syrups and premixes, Zhengzhou sugar prices have rebounded, but the external market is weak. With the expected increase in production in the northern hemisphere in the 2025/26 new season, the upward space for raw sugar is limited, and it is recommended to look for short - selling opportunities after the rebound weakens [9][10]. - For cotton, the demand is weak this year, the downstream industry chain's operating rate has declined compared to the same period in previous years, and there is a large selling - hedging pressure due to a bumper harvest in the new season. Although the recent increase in new cotton purchase prices has driven up Zhengzhou cotton prices, the fundamentals are still weak, and short - term prices are expected to continue to oscillate [12][13]. - For eggs, due to low replenishment and high culling, there is an expectation that the inventory will peak and decline. Coupled with the increasing inventory - hoarding sentiment after the temperature drops, the downward trend of egg prices has been broken. With subsequent consumption themes such as Double Eleven and pre - holiday stocking, the market sentiment is improving. It is expected to be mainly in a strong consolidation pattern in the short term, and the upper pressure should be monitored in the medium term [15][18]. - For pigs, the supply is sufficient, and the spot price increase is less than expected. The futures market has already priced in the future supply pressure. The overall strategy is to sell on rallies, but due to the high position in the futures market, cautious investors can use reverse - spread positions instead [20][21]. Summary by Related Catalogs Protein Meal Market Information - On Wednesday, CBOT soybeans rose as China's reduction of tariffs on US soybeans stimulated demand, while the Brazilian soybean premium declined slightly. Domestic soybean meal spot prices fell by 10 yuan, with the price in East China at 2980 yuan/ton. The transaction volume of soybean meal was average, but the delivery was good, and the oil mill operating rate was 52.4%, up from the previous day. MYSTEEL expects the domestic soybean crushing volume of oil mills to be 2.0964 million tons this week, compared with 2.2534 million tons last week. As of October 30, the soybean planting rate in Brazil was 47%, lower than 54% in the same period last year, affected by irregular rainfall. China announced an adjustment to the import tariff on US goods, and the import tax rate for US soybeans is expected to be 13% from November 10, still higher than that of Brazil, so there is still uncertainty about future purchases of US soybeans [2]. Strategy Viewpoint - The import cost of soybeans is expected to fluctuate. The domestic soybean inventory is at a record high, and the soybean meal inventory is large, putting pressure on the crushing profit. However, as it enters the inventory - reduction season, there is some support. It is expected that soybean meal prices will rise in the short term following the import cost, and the crushing profit will recover, which will stimulate purchases. In the medium term, the expectation of abundant global soybean supply remains unchanged, and a strategy of selling on rebounds is recommended [3]. Oils Market Information - According to ITS and AMSPEC data, Malaysia's palm oil exports in October increased by 4.31% - 5.19% compared to the same period last month. SPPOMA data showed that Malaysia's palm oil production in October increased by 5.55%. A survey on Wednesday estimated Malaysia's palm oil production in the 2025/26 season to be 19.2 million tons, the same as the previous estimate, with an estimated range of 18.7 - 19.7 million tons. Driven by the strong recovery of production in East Malaysia and more working days in the month, production reached a peak in October. It is expected that the seasonal high production will gradually decrease as the industry enters the low - production period in early 2026. Domestic oil prices continued to decline on Wednesday. MPOA estimated that Malaysia's palm oil production in October increased by more than 10%. Palm oil prices are still constrained by the high production in Malaysia and Indonesia recently. The domestic spot basis is stable at a low level [5]. Strategy Viewpoint - The higher - than - expected production of palm oil in Malaysia and Indonesia suppresses the market. The current inventory accumulation situation due to large supply may reverse in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year. If Indonesia's high production does not continue, the inventory - reduction time may come earlier. If Indonesia maintains its recent high - production record, palm oil will continue to be weak. Before the export of Malaysian palm oil improves, it should be regarded as oscillating weakly, and a long - position strategy can be considered when there are signs of production decline [6][7]. Sugar Market Information - On Wednesday, the price of Zhengzhou sugar futures declined slightly. The closing price of the January contract was 5441 yuan/ton, down 40 yuan/ton or 0.73% from the previous trading day. In the spot market, the报价 of Guangxi sugar - making groups was 5650 - 5690 yuan/ton, down 0 - 10 yuan/ton from the previous day; the报价 of Yunnan sugar - making groups was 5530 - 5590 yuan/ton, down 10 - 20 yuan/ton; the mainstream报价 range of processing sugar mills was 5790 - 5890 yuan/ton, with mixed changes from the previous day. The basis of Guangxi spot - Zhengzhou sugar main contract (sr2601) was 209 yuan/ton. Brazil's Conab estimated that the sugar cane production in the central - southern region in the 2025/26 season would be 607.38 million tons, lower than the previous estimate of 609.76 million tons, while the sugar production is expected to be 41.34 million tons, higher than the previous estimate of 40.64 million tons. India's ISMA estimated that the total sugar production in the 2025/26 season (before deducting the amount used for ethanol production) would be 34.35 million tons, and the net sugar production after deducting 3.4 million tons for ethanol production is expected to be 30.95 million tons [9]. Strategy Viewpoint - Recently, due to strengthened import controls on syrups and premixes, Zhengzhou sugar prices have rebounded, but the external market is weak. Since August this year, the cumulative sugar production in the central - southern region of Brazil has exceeded that of last year due to a significant increase in the proportion of sugar - cane - to - sugar conversion, leading to a continuous decline in raw sugar prices. With the expected increase in production in the northern hemisphere in the 2025/26 new season, the upward space for raw sugar is limited, and the import profit has reached a five - year high. It is recommended to look for short - selling opportunities after the rebound weakens [10]. Cotton Market Information - On Wednesday, the price of Zhengzhou cotton futures continued to oscillate. The closing price of the January contract was 13615 yuan/ton, up 80 yuan/ton or 0.59% from the previous trading day. In the spot market, the China Cotton Price Index (CCIndex) 3128B was 14825 yuan/ton, down 16 yuan/ton from the previous day. The basis of CCIndex 3128B - Zhengzhou cotton main contract (CF2601) was 1210 yuan/ton. As of the week ending October 31, the operating rate of spinning mills was 65.6%, unchanged from the previous week, 6.9 percentage points lower than the same period last year, and 9.52 percentage points lower than the average of the past five years. On November 4, the acquisition index of machine - picked cotton in Xinjiang was 6.27 yuan/kg, down 0.03 yuan/kg from the previous day, and the acquisition index of hand - picked cotton was 7.01 yuan/kg, unchanged from the previous day [12]. Strategy Viewpoint - Fundamentally, the demand is weak this year, and the operating rate of the downstream industry chain has declined significantly compared to the same period in previous years. There is a large selling - hedging pressure due to a bumper harvest in the new season. Although the recent increase in new cotton purchase prices has driven up Zhengzhou cotton prices, the fundamentals are still weak, and short - term prices are expected to continue to oscillate [13]. Eggs Market Information - Most egg prices in the country were stable, with a few rising yesterday. The average price in the main production areas rose slightly to 2.85 yuan/jin. The price in Heishan remained at 2.7 yuan/jin, and the price in Guantao rose 0.07 yuan to 2.76 yuan/jin. The supply was stable, and farmers sold their eggs as usual. The market demand was okay, and the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream traders increased slightly. Egg prices may be stable or rise today [15]. Strategy Viewpoint - Due to low replenishment and high culling, there is an expectation that the inventory will peak and decline. Coupled with the increasing inventory - hoarding sentiment after the temperature drops, the downward trend of egg prices has been broken. With subsequent consumption themes such as Double Eleven and pre - holiday stocking, the market sentiment is improving. It is expected to be mainly in a strong consolidation pattern in the short term, and the upper pressure should be monitored in the medium term [18]. Pigs Market Information - Domestic pig prices continued to decline yesterday. The average price in Henan dropped 0.16 yuan to 11.88 yuan/kg, and the average price in Sichuan dropped 0.2 yuan to 11.47 yuan/kg. The support from secondary fattening decreased, and the pigs that were previously held back for fattening are gradually being sold. The supply remains sufficient, the arrival of goods downstream has increased, and most white - striped pork prices have declined, which is negative for live - pig prices. It is expected that farmers may be reluctant to sell at low prices today, while they will be more willing to sell at high prices, and the price may be stable or decline [20]. Strategy Viewpoint - The plan completion rate of large - scale pig farms is relatively high, but due to the difficulty in selling white - striped pork, the increase in spot prices at the end of the month was less than expected. From the perspective of the number of pens of small - scale farmers and the frozen - product storage rate, the current inventory is significantly postponed, and there is a suspicion of lack of follow - up power under the continuous high - supply pressure. The futures market has already priced in the future supply pressure, and its trend is independent of the spot market. The overall strategy is to sell on rallies, but due to the high position in the futures market, cautious investors can use reverse - spread positions instead [21].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating. However, it provides individual outlooks for different commodities in the black building materials sector, mostly indicating a "震荡" (sideways) trend, suggesting a neutral stance for the short - term investment in general [2][10][13]. 2. Core Viewpoints - The fundamentals of the black building materials sector are generally stable. Without macro and policy boosts, the sector's prices are oscillating weakly. The glass with supply - side disturbances showed relatively strong price performance this week. The reduction in hot metal in the industry chain is due to seasonal characteristics and production - limiting measures, having limited negative impact on furnace material demand. When macro and policy levels release positive signals, it will support the prices of sector commodities [1][2]. 3. Summary by Commodity Iron Element - **Iron Ore**: There is an expectation of inventory accumulation, but the decline in ore prices is limited. With macro and policy uncertainties, short - term prices are expected to oscillate. The fundamentals of scrap steel have no prominent contradictions, and its price is expected to follow that of finished products as the latter is under short - term pressure [2]. - **Scrap Steel**: The fundamentals have no significant contradictions. With short - term pressure on finished product prices, scrap steel prices are expected to follow finished products [2][9]. Carbon Element - **Coke**: After three rounds of price increases, the profit pressure on steel mills is high, so the expectation of a fourth - round increase is low. Given strong cost support, the price is expected to oscillate [2]. - **Coking Coal**: Supply is hard to improve. With continuous procurement from the middle and lower reaches, coal mine inventories have reached multi - year lows. The short - term fundamentals are healthy, and the price is expected to oscillate [2][12]. Alloys - **Manganese Silicon**: Short - term cost stability and high steel production support its price, but the market has a pessimistic supply - demand outlook, and the driving force for price increases is insufficient [2]. - **Silicon Ferrosilicon**: High steel production and rising costs support its price, but the loose supply - demand relationship restricts the upside [2][15]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass**: Supply is expected to be disturbed in the short - term, facing a downward risk. With medium and downstream inventories at a moderately high level, if production and sales remain weak, the price will return to a weak oscillation. In the long - term, market - based capacity reduction is needed, and the price may continue to decline [3][13]. - **Soda Ash**: The supply surplus situation is intensifying. Cost supports the price bottom, and the price will oscillate in the short - term. In the long - term, the price center will decline to promote capacity reduction [3][13]. Steel - The fundamentals have limited support, and the futures market is running weakly. Spot market transactions are generally weak, and speculative sentiment is poor. Although steel mill profits have improved marginally, hot metal production has decreased from a high level due to environmental protection and seasonal maintenance. The output of five major steel products has increased, and demand has continued to recover. Steel inventories have continued to decline, but the year - on - year high inventory level remains unchanged. With the approaching end of the peak season, the demand outlook is still cautious, and the futures market is expected to face pressure after the cooling of macro sentiment [8]. Others - **Base Difference Seasonal Charts**: Include steel, iron ore, coking coal, coke, silicon ferrosilicon, silicon manganese, glass, and soda ash base differences [20][23][25]. - **Profit Seasonal Charts**: The report mentions profit seasonal charts but does not provide specific content [62]. - **Steel Daily Transactions**: The report mentions steel daily transactions but does not provide detailed content [82]. - **Commodity Index**: On November 4, 2025, the comprehensive index was 2229.67, down 0.92%; the commodity 20 index was 2521.83, down 0.98%; the industrial product index was 2213.57, down 1.07%. The steel industry chain index on November 4, 2025, was 1997.33, with a daily decline of 1.24%, a 5 - day decline of 3.03%, a 1 - month increase of 0.37%, and a year - to - date decline of 5.26% [98][100].

Overall Key Points - The report analyzes the overnight performance and future trends of various commodities and financial products, including energy, metals, agricultural products, and financial derivatives [2][3][4] Group 1: Energy Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices fluctuated. The oil market has been rapidly accumulating inventory since September, with a 2.8% increase in inventory in the fourth quarter, including a 5.9% increase in crude oil inventory and a 2.1% decrease in refined oil inventory. The inventory accumulation of upstream crude oil is concentrated in the transit link. The OPEC+ meeting last Sunday slightly exceeded expectations, and the suspension of production increase in the first quarter of next year reflects the organization's management of the downward risk. However, according to the current production increase path, the market supply-demand surplus in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year still faces marginal expansion. Short-term oil prices are expected to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the entry opportunity of the short-selling portfolio after the geopolitical risk is priced again [2] Fuel Oil & Low-Sulfur Fuel Oil - The fuel oil market shows a structural differentiation. The medium-term supply pattern of high-sulfur fuel oil tends to be loose, and the previous high valuation faces correction pressure. The low-sulfur market has received short-term support, and the supply of low-sulfur fuel oil is expected to tighten. The price difference between high and low sulfur is expected to further widen [22] Asphalt - In late October, some refineries in Shandong and Hebei switched to producing residual oil and shut down, and the weekly output decreased. The construction in the north is gradually declining, and the construction in the northeast and northwest has gradually stopped under the influence of low temperatures. The south still has the demand for rush construction. Since late October, the year-on-year change in the shipment volume of 54 asphalt sample enterprises has shown a negative growth for the first time, and it is likely to continue the trend of negative year-on-year growth in the future. The decline of the overall commercial inventory has slowed down, and the social inventory has increased year-on-year for the first time at the end of October [23] Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - The LPG contract continued to fluctuate narrowly. The weekly LPG commodity volume decreased slightly, while the arrival volume increased significantly. The improvement of chemical profit has promoted the increase of demand, and the cooling in many places has driven the improvement of combustion demand. The market expects the overall demand to improve. The refinery storage capacity ratio decreased slightly, and the port storage capacity ratio increased. The marginal improvement of the fundamental expectation still supports LPG [24] Group 2: Metals Precious Metals - Overnight, precious metals continued to fluctuate. The US ISM manufacturing PMI in October was slightly lower than expected and the previous value. Recently, many Fed officials have spoken out against a rate cut in December, reflecting internal differences. The US government shutdown is still in the game stage, and the non-farm payroll data this week may not be released. The market is waiting for new drivers, and precious metals have built a high-level shock platform. It is recommended to wait and see for the time being [3] Base Metals - **Copper**: Overnight, LME copper fell in late trading. The market is evaluating the copper consumption at the end of the year. The US ISM manufacturing PMI has contracted for the eighth consecutive month, and the high copper price in China has suppressed demand. However, compared with the second quarter of last year, the spot side has improved its passive adaptability in the environment of "weak supply and demand". At the same time, the domestic social inventory has accumulated to more than 200,000 tons, and there is still a certain space from the critical point of the lagging reflection of supply and demand. After the short-term copper price reached a high, there is a certain risk of correction. Attention should be paid to the support toughness of the MA20 moving average. Some long positions can be held based on the key moving average [4] - **Aluminum**: Overnight, SHFE aluminum fluctuated. At the beginning of the week, the social inventory of aluminum ingots increased by 0.8 million tons compared with Thursday. Since October, the domestic inventory and spot performance have been average, and the apparent consumption is basically flat year-on-year. The macro sentiment dominates, and the resonance of the aluminum market fundamentals is limited. In the short term, it fluctuates strongly towards the high point in November 2024, but the upward space is cautiously viewed for the time being [5] - **Zinc**: The zinc ingot export window is open, the LME zinc inventory has increased slightly, and the SMM zinc social inventory has decreased to 161,700 tons. The divergence of the inventory between the domestic and foreign markets has temporarily stopped, and the cross-market arbitrage funds have the demand to take profits. The domestic mine TC continues to decline to 2,850 yuan/metal ton, and the imported mine TC also declines synchronously. The short-term rebound momentum of SHFE zinc is relatively strong. Short-term long positions can be participated, and the high rebound range is temporarily seen at 23,000-23,500 yuan/ton [8] - **Lead**: On Monday, the SMM lead social inventory slightly increased to 30,200 tons, which is generally low. The correction of SHFE lead is not smooth, and the fundamentals are mixed. The funds are more cautious to enter the market. The raw material overlap between recycled lead and primary lead smelters is increasing day by day. Under the background of winter storage, the smelting capacity is surplus, and the shortage of lead concentrate is intensifying. The price of waste batteries remains high and stable, and the cost of SHFE lead is strongly supported. The refined scrap price difference is 75 yuan/ton, and the SMM 1 lead is at a discount of 125 yuan/ton to the nearby contract. Downstream enterprises tend to purchase low-priced recycled lead, and the trading of electrolytic lead is slightly sluggish. Affected by the game between cost and demand, SHFE lead is expected to fluctuate in the range of 17,300-17,500 yuan/ton [9] - **Nickel & Stainless Steel**: SHFE nickel fluctuated narrowly, and the market trading was light. The weak downstream demand dominates the market. Although there are news of stainless steel mills reducing production, the actual implementation still needs to be observed. The premium of Jinchuan nickel is 2,600 yuan, the premium of imported nickel is 400 yuan, and the premium of electrowinning nickel is 50 yuan. The price of high-nickel pig iron is quoted at 926 yuan per nickel point, and the support brought by the rebound of the upstream price is weakening, which may drag down the price level of the entire nickel industry chain. The pure nickel inventory decreased by 700 tons to 48,800 tons, the nickel pig iron inventory increased by 500 tons to 29,000 tons, and the stainless steel inventory increased by 400 tons to 947,000 tons. SHFE nickel is running weakly, and the center of gravity tends to move down [10] - **Tin**: Overnight, the tin price fluctuated weakly. The tin market lacks clear guidance and mainly follows the rhythm of the copper price. In addition to the interference of the rainy season on the transportation rhythm, the closure of the Dar es Salaam port in Tanzania may also affect the export speed of tin products. The tin price fluctuated at a high level for a long time in October, and the inventory of middle and downstream enterprises is generally average, but there is still demand for spot pricing. Last week, the social inventory of SMM and Steel Union continued to flow out slightly. Subjectively, it is recommended to short on rallies or wait for the right-side trading opportunity after a clear break [11] Ferrous Metals - **Iron Ore**: Overnight, the iron ore futures fluctuated weakly, and the basis fluctuated recently. On the supply side, the global shipment volume decreased this period but is still at a high level in the same period. The shipments from Australia and Brazil both decreased, but the Brazilian shipment is still at a high level in the same period. The domestic arrival volume increased significantly this period and reached a new high this year. On the demand side, the molten iron output decreased significantly last week, and the profitability of steel mills reached a new low this year, with further production reduction pressure in the future. The progress of the Sino-US trade agreement has alleviated the concern about weak exports, and an important domestic meeting has been held. After the short-term rebound of the iron ore futures, the market tends to realize some benefits. It is expected that the iron ore will fluctuate weakly at a high level [16] - **Coke**: The price fluctuated downward during the day. There is an expectation of a third round of price increase for coking coal. The coking profit is average, and the daily output decreased slightly. The coke inventory hardly changed. Currently, downstream enterprises purchase on demand in small quantities, and the inventory increased slightly. The purchasing intention of traders is average. Overall, the supply of carbon elements is abundant, and the downstream molten iron production remains at a high level, which supports the raw materials. However, the profit level of steel is average, and the pressure to reduce the price of raw materials is strong. The coke futures are at a premium, and the market has certain expectations for the safety production assessment in the main coking coal producing areas. The price may be more likely to rise than to fall [17] - **Coking Coal**: The price fluctuated downward during the day. The market sentiment declined rapidly due to the resumption of production of a small number of coal mines in the Wuhai production area after meeting the environmental protection standards, but most of the coal mines facing resource integration have not resumed production. It is judged that the price is difficult to continue to decline. The output of coking coal mines increased slightly, the spot auction transactions improved, and the transaction prices generally increased. The terminal inventory increased. The total coking coal inventory increased slightly month-on-month, and the production-side inventory decreased slightly. As the safety inspection team is about to enter the main coal-producing areas, attention should be paid to the relevant impacts. Overall, the supply of carbon elements is abundant, and the downstream molten iron production remains at a high level, which supports the raw materials. However, the profit level of steel is average, and the pressure to reduce the price of raw materials is strong. The coking coal futures are at a discount to the Mongolian coal, and the market has certain expectations for the safety production assessment in the main coking coal producing areas. The price may be more likely to rise than to fall [18] - **Silicon Manganese**: The price fluctuated during the day. On the demand side, the molten iron output remained at a high level above 2.36 million tons. The weekly output of silicon manganese decreased slightly, and the production remained at a high level. The silicon manganese inventory decreased slightly, and the spot and futures demand is still good. The forward quotation of manganese ore increased slightly month-on-month, and the spot ore was boosted by the futures. The manganese ore inventory decreased slightly, and the contradiction is not prominent. The price is likely to fluctuate narrowly [19] - **Silicon Iron**: The price fluctuated during the day. On the demand side, the molten iron output remained at a high level above 2.36 million tons. The export demand increased to about 40,000 tons, with a marginal impact. The output of magnesium metal increased slightly month-on-month, and the secondary demand increased marginally. The overall demand is acceptable. The supply of silicon iron remained at a high level, and the on-balance-sheet inventory continued to decline. The price is likely to fluctuate narrowly [20] Group 3: Chemicals Polyolefins - **Polypropylene & Plastic & Propylene**: The market is still dragged down by the demand side, and the bearish expectation of market participants remains unchanged. However, the positive impact of the maintenance of the Binzhou PDH unit will provide a window for bargain hunting and is expected to drive propylene to stop falling to a certain extent. For polyethylene, the number of domestic petrochemical maintenance units decreased, and the capacity of Guangxi Petrochemical was put into operation, resulting in an increase in domestic supply. The demand for greenhouse films and mulch films weakened, and other downstream industries showed no bright spots. The enthusiasm of factories for raw material procurement was dull, and the overall trading volume was limited. For polypropylene, the impact of new capacity and the weakening of unit maintenance intensity are expected to increase the supply pressure. The downstream operating rate is stable, with rigid demand support, but the downstream profit is limited, and the raw material procurement is cautious. The demand is difficult to release continuously, which still suppresses the market [29] Other Chemicals - **Methanol**: The methanol futures continued to decline significantly at night. The import supply is expected to remain sufficient, and the port inventory may continue to accumulate. The profits of most downstream products are not good, and the overall support for the methanol market is insufficient. Some coastal MTO units have maintenance plans in the future, and the demand of traditional downstream industries is expected to enter the off-season as the weather gets colder. The situation of high port inventory and high import supply of methanol is difficult to reverse in the short term, and the weak downstream demand further suppresses the market. The inflection point of port inventory has not appeared, and it is necessary to wait for the substantial implementation of supply reduction and demand improvement [26] - **Pure Benzene**: The chemical products fell overall at night, and the price of general benzene fell below 5,500 yuan/ton again. The arrival volume increased and the提货 volume decreased, and the port inventory increased significantly on Monday. The units restarted this week, and the operating rate of pure benzene increased slightly. The purchasing sentiment for low-price spot goods is good, but there are negative factors such as high import volume and falling demand in the medium term. Attention should be paid to the port inventory accumulation rhythm in the future, and the monthly spread reverse arbitrage is recommended [27] - **Styrene**: The cost support is insufficient, and the improvement of the supply-demand situation is limited. The overall pressure remains. Although new units have been put into operation, the overall supply has still decreased slightly due to the sudden maintenance of individual units. The demand remains stable, and the supply-demand balance continues, but the high inventory structure is difficult to resolve, which keeps the price under pressure [28] - **PVC & Caustic Soda**: The price of calcium carbide decreased, and the cost support weakened. Under the weak reality, PVC is operating at a low level. Enterprises' inventory increased, and the social inventory decreased, but the industry inventory pressure is still large. The maintenance of some enterprises such as Shandong Xinfa, Xinjiang Tianye Tianneng Production Area, and Hangjin Technology has ended, and the supply is expected to continue to increase. The domestic demand is stable, and the export is mainly on the sidelines due to the Indian holiday and anti-dumping duties. With weak cost support and high supply and low demand, PVC may operate at a low level. The price of liquid chlorine in Shandong has become negative again, and the profit has narrowed. Some caustic soda enterprises have slightly raised the price, and it is operating strongly during the day. The industry continues to accumulate inventory, and the inventory pressure is large. The enterprises' maintenance has recovered, and the supply has increased. The profit of alumina has been compressed, and the operating rate has decreased slightly. Currently, the raw material inventory is high, and the replenishment intention is not strong. The non-aluminum demand growth is limited. The supply pressure of caustic soda is high, and the purchasing price of alumina has been lowered again. The downstream demand is average. It is expected that the futures price will operate at a low level. Further attention should be paid to the price trend of liquid chlorine. If the price continues to fall, the caustic soda price may rebound at a low level under the cost support [30] - **PX & PTA**: The prices of PX and PTA closed with a doji at night, and the center of gravity moved down. The units of Wuhua Petrochemical and Fujia Dahua restarted, and the supply of PX and PTA increased. The supply and demand of PX increased simultaneously, the polyester load was stable, and PTA has the pressure of inventory accumulation. Currently, the downstream demand is acceptable, but there is an expectation of weakening in the medium term. Under the expectation of PTA inventory accumulation, the reverse arbitrage idea is continued. Attention should be paid to the oil price fluctuation [31] - **Ethylene Glycol**: The weekly output of ethylene glycol decreased slightly, the port arrival forecast increased, and the inventory increased slightly on Monday. The Zhenhai Refining & Chemical unit is planned to restart, and the supply pressure will be further manifested. The ethylene glycol futures fell with increasing volume and open interest. The demand is expected to weaken in the medium term, and the inventory accumulation is expected to continue. The reverse arbitrage is recommended. Attention should be paid to the possibility of unit production reduction after the benefit decline [32] Group 4: Agricultural Products Grains - **Soybeans & Soybean Meal**: The soybean meal futures fluctuated strongly at night. The US soybeans are expected to have better sales due to the easing of Sino-US negotiations and continue to be strong. After the preliminary consensus was reached in the Sino-US-Malaysian economic and trade consultations, President Xi Jinping held a meeting with US President Trump in Busan, South Korea, and Sino-US relations may tend to ease. However, as of the time of publication, there is no official policy adjustment. There are already news that China has purchased some US soybeans, but it has not been confirmed through official channels. Currently, the domestic soybean arrival volume is sufficient, the soybean crushing volume is stable, the crushing profit has been repaired, and the soybean meal inventory has increased slightly this week. The atmosphere of Sino-US trade easing is strong, and attention should be paid to the policy adjustment of China's import of US soybeans in the future. According to Jin10 Data, the latest US soybean premium quotation is roughly the same as that of Brazil. A significant reduction in the tariff on US soybeans is needed to resume Sino-US soybean trade. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of buying on dips after the Sino-US trade eases [36] - **Corn**: The Dalian corn futures corrected at night. The new corn in the Northeast continues to be supplied, and the price is stable with a slight

Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - With the consensus on key economic and trade issues between China and the US, futures prices have declined. The apparent demand for rebar continued to rise last week, and rebar production also increased, but the total inventory decline was slow. The inventory of hot-rolled coils has far exceeded the same period after a significant increase. Coking coal and coke spot prices are running strongly, providing some support for costs. However, due to the significant decline in steel mill margins and the approaching end of the consumption peak season, steel mills are expected to reduce production in the future, which may trigger a phased negative feedback cycle. Technically, the futures prices of rebar and hot-rolled coils broke through the suppression of the upper 10-day moving average on the daily K-line chart and then pulled back. The market is likely to turn into a sideways trend in the future [2]. - In terms of iron ore, the sample steel mill's molten iron production decreased significantly on a month-on-month basis. Due to the decline in steel mill profits and the end of the consumption peak season, steel mills may continue to reduce production intentionally, putting pressure on raw material prices. On the supply side, global shipments are at a high level, and the increase in port inventories during the consumption peak season has a certain suppressing effect on futures prices. The slow destocking of steel inventories also dampens the overall market sentiment. With the realization of macro-level positive factors, futures prices face certain correction pressure [5].
