Currently, glass supply shows no sign of contraction, and the real - estate sector drags down the rigid demand, while speculative demand has increased. The inventory has been continuously decreasing but remains at a high level. In the long run, the glass supply - demand situation remains relatively loose [1]. - The soda ash futures market also dropped significantly yesterday, with the main 2509 contract of soda ash futures falling 6.45%. The capacity utilization rate of soda ash was 80.27%, a 2.75% decrease from the previous week, the output was 699,800 tons, a decrease of 24,000 tons from the previous week, and the inventory was 1.7958 million tons, a decrease of 68,800 tons from the previous week. Currently, soda ash production remains at a high level and is in the summer maintenance stage, with relatively restrained capacity release. Later, as projects are gradually implemented, the soda ash capacity may be further released. Meanwhile, due to the "anti - involution" impact in the photovoltaic industry, there is an expectation of production cuts, and soda ash consumption may further weaken, increasing the inventory pressure later [1]. Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese - Yesterday, the collective sharp decline of black commodities drove the ferrosilicon and silicomanganese futures to hit the daily limit. The main contract of silicomanganese futures dropped 170 yuan/ton from the previous day, closing at 5946 yuan/ton. In the spot market, there was a strong wait - and - see sentiment. The price of 6517 silicomanganese in the northern market was 5750 - 5800 yuan/ton, and in the southern market, it was 5800 - 5850 yuan/ton. Silicomanganese production increased month - on - month, hot metal production decreased slightly month - on - month, and the inventory of silicomanganese manufacturers decreased slightly month - on - month but remained at a relatively high level. The shipping from Australia in the manganese ore segment has basically recovered. After the silicomanganese price was boosted by macro - sentiment, the hedging willingness of enterprises increased, but with the decline of coking coal and coke futures, the market sentiment cooled down to some extent [3]. - Yesterday, the main contract of ferrosilicon futures closed at 5696 yuan/ton, a drop of 312 yuan/ton from the previous day. In the spot market, the price remained stable, and the cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon in the main production areas was 5600 - 5800 yuan/ton. The demand for ferrosilicon remained resilient, and the factory inventory was at a medium - to - high level. In the short term, the market sentiment improved, but with the sharp decline of coking coal, the market sentiment cooled down to some extent. In the long run, the ferrosilicon capacity is relatively loose [3].

In the long term, the supply is abundant, and attention should be paid to non - power coal consumption and restocking [8]. - Strategy: No specific strategy [8]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the content. Core Views - The glass and soda ash markets are experiencing a weak demand in the off - season, with both showing a trend of narrow - range fluctuations and a general outlook of weakening oscillations [1][2]. - The ferrosilicon and silicomanganese markets have obvious off - season characteristics, with both showing a continuous oscillating trend [3][4]. Summary by Related Catalogs Glass and Soda Ash Market Analysis - Glass: The glass futures rebounded slightly yesterday. In the spot market, the morning buying sentiment was good, but the overall purchase volume was average. Except for a price increase of a small - board safety glass brand, other brands' quotes were stable [1]. - Soda Ash: The soda ash futures oscillated downward yesterday. In the spot market, the overall downstream procurement was average, mainly for rigid - demand restocking, and the speculative sentiment was weak [1]. Supply - Demand and Logic - Glass: With some production lines in the red, the glass supply decreased month - on - month. The downstream rigid demand remained weak, and real - estate data was still at a low level. During the traditional consumption off - season, the high inventory of glass strongly suppressed prices. Attention should be paid to glass factories' cold - repair plans and profit situations [1]. - Soda Ash: As previously - overhauled alkali plants resumed production and new projects were launched, the soda ash output increased month - on - month, resulting in a relatively loose supply. The demand from the float and photovoltaic sectors weakened, and the real - estate sector continued to drag down consumption. With the expected contraction of float - glass supply in the future and the approaching of the short - term consumption off - season, the demand for heavy soda ash was expected to weaken further. In the long run, oversupply would continue to push down prices [1]. Strategy - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2]. - Soda Ash: Oscillating weakly [2]. Double Silicon (Silicomanganese and Ferrosilicon) Market Analysis - Silicomanganese: Yesterday, the main contract of silicomanganese futures fell by 6 yuan/ton to 5610 yuan/ton. In the spot market, the silicomanganese market oscillated. At the beginning of the week, the market was full of wait - and - see sentiment, and there were few spot quotes. The price of 6517 silicomanganese in the northern market was 5480 - 5530 yuan/ton, and in the southern market, it was 5500 - 5550 yuan/ton. The silicomanganese output rebounded from a low level, the molten - iron output increased slightly, and the demand for silicomanganese increased slightly. The inventories of silicomanganese manufacturers and registered warrants were at medium - to - high levels, suppressing the price of silicomanganese.

Core Views - The pessimistic sentiment in the black commodities market is receding, leading to a bottom - up rebound. The glass and soda ash markets show a divergence between futures and spot prices due to cautious downstream procurement. The double - silicon market has a stabilized sentiment with alloy prices oscillating [1][3]. - Glass has a severe supply - demand contradiction with high inventory and lack of substantial production cuts. Soda ash faces continuous supply - demand surplus pressure and strong de - stocking pressure [1]. - For silicon manganese, low production due to profit issues and high inventory suppress prices, while manganese ore cost provides support. Silicon iron production is at a low level, but demand has some resilience, and short - term prices are affected by costs [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Glass and Soda Ash - **Market Analysis** - Glass: Futures rebounded significantly yesterday, but spot trading was weak with mainly rigid demand procurement and low speculative sentiment. Soda ash: Futures rose sharply following black commodities, while downstream procurement was cautious with mainly rigid demand replenishment [1]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic** - Glass: The supply - demand contradiction is severe, high inventory suppresses prices, and there is no substantial production cut. Long - term losses are needed to clear excess capacity, and later changes in production lines and raw material prices should be monitored. Soda ash: With new production projects coming online, the supply - demand surplus persists, and there is strong de - stocking pressure. Prices will be under pressure until the surplus situation eases, and attention should be paid to intermittent production line maintenance and new production [1]. - **Strategy** - Glass: Oscillating. Soda ash: Oscillating. No cross - period or cross - variety strategies are recommended [2]. Double - Silicon (Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron) - **Market Analysis** - Silicon Manganese: Futures oscillated and rebounded with black commodities yesterday. The spot market was stable, and factories were reluctant to sell at low prices. The price in the northern and southern markets was 5400 - 5500 yuan/ton. Silicon Iron: Futures oscillated. The cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron in the main production areas was 5150 - 5200 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron was 5750 - 5850 yuan/ton [3]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic** - Silicon Manganese: Production is at a low level due to industry profits, iron - water production has slightly declined but remains high, and demand has some resilience. High factory inventory and registered warehouse receipts suppress prices, while low - level manganese ore port inventory has slightly increased, and falling manganese ore prices support alloy costs. Attention should be paid to the manganese ore supply side. Silicon Iron: Production has dropped to the lowest level in recent years due to enterprise losses, high iron - water maintains demand resilience, factory inventory de - stocking is weakening, downstream inventory is low, and short - term prices are affected by costs. Attention should be paid to electricity price changes and industrial policies [3]. - **Strategy** - Silicon Manganese: Oscillating. Silicon Iron: Oscillating [4].
