Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View In August 2025, hot-rolled coil futures rose significantly compared to the previous month and then slightly corrected this month. Overall, the spot price of the hot-rolled coil market reached a high and then declined. The supply and demand situation was relatively healthy. Although the inventory increased slightly, the pressure was not too great. The demand for hot-rolled coils in finished products was better than that of building materials, mainly because the terminal demand for plates in industries such as home appliances, automobiles, and ships was relatively strong, which could drive up the demand for hot-rolled coils [2]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures Market - **Contract Price**: The main contract of hot-rolled coil futures reached a high at the beginning of August and then declined, closing with a negative line. The main contract HC2601 dropped 51 points. After a short-term rapid increase, the price fell and finally closed at 3,346 yuan/ton, a 1.5% decline from the July price [3]. - **Variety Market**: There are 12 listed contracts for hot-rolled coil futures. Except for the 2509 contract, the price spreads between other contracts have narrowed. The far-month contracts had relatively large fluctuations in price changes, with a decline ranging from 28 to 64 points. The trading volume of the main contract HC2601 was 1,166,633 lots, a month-on-month increase of approximately 696,000 lots [6][7]. - **Related Market**: In August, the price of hot-rolled coils declined following the decline in raw material prices. There were signs of a marginal weakening of coking coal and coke, and market confidence was insufficient, resulting in an overall decline in the black sector prices in August [9]. 3.2 Spot Market - **Basis Data**: According to Wind data, in August, the closing price of the active contract hot-rolled coil HC2601 futures was 3,346 yuan/ton, the price of Shanghai hot-rolled coil Q235B 4.75mm was 3,380 yuan/ton, and the basis between Shanghai hot-rolled coil futures and spot was 34 yuan/ton, a month-on-month increase of 14 yuan/ton [10]. - **Registered Warehouse Receipts**: In August, the number of registered warehouse receipts for hot-rolled coils decreased significantly compared to July, from a maximum of 80,166 lots to 25,059 lots as of August 29. The decrease from the beginning to the end of the month was 32,112 lots. According to the Wande Warehouse Receipt Daily Report, among the 18 warehouses, the largest changes were concentrated in Jiangsu warehouses, while the other warehouses were relatively stable [11]. 3.3 Influencing Factors - **Industry News**: WIND data shows that the overall supply of the domestic hot-rolled coil market remained at a relatively high level in August. From a weekly perspective, the weekly output of hot-rolled coils fluctuated around 3.2 million tons, without significant increases or decreases, indicating that steel mills maintained a relatively stable production rhythm for this product. In addition, the supply of other major plate categories, such as cold-rolled coils and medium-thick plates, was also at a high level year-on-year, reflecting that the production side of the entire plate sector remained strong in August. However, affected by the seasonal off-peak demand in August, the actual downstream procurement demand cooled down, and the supply side also made small adjustments according to the demand changes, ultimately showing a slight month-on-month decline. The overall supply and demand relationship was relatively well-matched. In terms of inventory, the hot-rolled coil inventory increased slightly in August. Considering the changes in supply and demand during the same period, although the supply remained high but then declined slightly, and the demand was in the off-peak season but did not shrink significantly, the gap between the two was relatively limited, and no obvious supply-demand imbalance occurred. The slight increase in inventory was more of a normal fluctuation due to seasonal factors and did not cause significant pressure on the market [12]. - **Technical Analysis**: The HC2601 contract of hot-rolled coil futures had a similar trend to related industrial varieties such as rebar. From the disk, the HC2601 contract was running below the 10-day moving average and close to the lower track of the BOLL, indicating a weak state [13][14]. 3.4 Market Outlook In August 2025, the hot-rolled coil plate market showed the fundamental characteristics of "high supply, weakening demand resilience, and inventory accumulation", with prices fluctuating downward and both the futures and spot markets weakening synchronously. The short-term supply-demand contradiction and cost support are in intensified competition. It is expected that the price will continue to fluctuate and seek a bottom in September. Attention should be paid to the fulfillment of the peak demand season and the implementation of policy production restrictions [16].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - The rapeseed meal market is currently at a game point between "high inventory, weak reality" and "production cut, strong expectation." In the short term, it is necessary to closely monitor the USDA report's tone on US soybeans, and the price of the rm2601 contract may continue to fluctuate. In the medium term, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the supply gap expectation in the fourth quarter can be realized, and be vigilant about the impact of market sentiment fluctuations and unexpected news on prices [13] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Futures Market 1.1 Contract Quotes - On September 8, 2025, the rm2601 contract of rapeseed meal futures opened higher and fluctuated and adjusted, rising 0.24% from the previous day to close at 2542 points. The full - day trading volume was 371,400 lots, and the open interest was 393,500 lots [2] 1.2 Variety Prices - All contracts of rapeseed meal futures had different price changes throughout the day. The total open interest of the variety was 491,406 lots, an increase of 1,810 lots from the previous trading day [4] 1.3 Related Quotes - The total trading volume of rapeseed meal options throughout the day was 77,516 lots, the total open interest was 140,720 lots, with an increase of 4,741 lots in open interest, and the total number of exercises on the day was 0 lots [6] 2. Spot Market 2.1 Basis Data - On September 8, the benchmark price of rapeseed meal was 2,638.33 yuan/ton, and the basis of rapeseed meal was 96.33 yuan/ton [8] 2.2 Registered Warehouse Receipts - According to the warehouse receipt daily report of the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, the newly registered warehouse receipts of rapeseed meal increased by 3,642 compared with the previous trading day, and the total number of warehouse receipts was 10,403 [9] 3. Influencing Factors 3.1 Industry News - China's imports of rapeseed and its products are highly dependent on Canada. From March to August 2025, China imposed anti - dumping measures on Canadian rapeseed meal and rapeseed, resulting in a decrease in imports. The shortage of raw materials for coastal oil mills led to a sharp year - on - year decline in the production of rapeseed meal from Canadian rapeseed crushing, and there was also a significant decline in the import market, which supported the price of rapeseed meal. Rapeseed meal is mainly used in aquaculture feed production. As the temperature gradually drops in September, the demand for rapeseed meal in aquaculture will gradually decline, but it is still in the peak season of aquaculture, with a certain rigid demand for rapeseed meal [11] 3.2 Technical Analysis - From the daily K - line chart, the price of rapeseed meal futures showed a fluctuating trend on the day, and the price fluctuated between the 5 - day moving average and the 20 - day moving average throughout the day. The high point position above and the 20 - day moving average suppressed the price. Attention should be paid to whether it can break through effectively [12] 4. Market Outlook - The rapeseed meal market is at a game point between "high inventory, weak reality" and "production cut, strong expectation." In the short term, closely monitor the USDA report's tone on US soybeans, and the price of the rm2601 contract may continue to fluctuate. In the medium term, pay attention to whether the supply gap expectation in the fourth quarter can be realized, and be vigilant about the impact of market sentiment fluctuations and unexpected news on prices [13]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - Polyolefin futures are trading in a consolidation mode. The spot market for linear LL has some price cuts by Sinopec, while for drawing PP, both Sinopec and PetroChina keep prices stable. The market enthusiasm has cooled, and the polyolefin spot market is mainly driven by supply - demand. Summer maintenance is in balance, and inventory is being slowly digested. The polyolefin spot prices are generally weak at the beginning of the month, and whether the stop - fall in the futures market can drive the spot market to stop falling remains to be seen [2]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - On September 3, industrial silicon fluctuated weakly. The main contract 2511 closed at 8,490 yuan/ton, with an intraday decline of 0.29%. The position decreased by 1,738 lots to 279,700 lots. The spot reference price of Baichuan industrial silicon was 9,369 yuan/ton, remaining unchanged from the previous trading day. The price of the lowest deliverable 421 grade silicon dropped back to 8,600 yuan/ton, and the spot premium widened to 115 yuan/ton. Polysilicon fluctuated strongly. The main contract 2511 closed at 52,160 yuan/ton, with an intraday increase of 0.34%. The position increased by 3,355 lots to 149,000 lots. The price of N-type recycled polysilicon material rose to 49,000 yuan/ton, and the price of the lowest deliverable silicon material dropped to 49,000 yuan/ton. The spot discount widened to 3,300 yuan/ton. The resumption of production in the north and south of industrial silicon and the increase in crystalline silicon production have become marginal drivers, and the overall operating center is expected to rise slightly. After the previous anti-involution news was fully priced in, the trading focus of polysilicon has gradually shifted to fundamental logic. Due to the limitation of terminal power station yields, the acceptance of price increases in the component sector has reached its peak, and the sentiment in the silicon material market has cooled along with the downstream market. Before the introduction of specific policy measures, the market is still in a game between policy boosts and fundamental drags. Polysilicon has entered a range-bound mode with obvious tops and bottoms, and policy dynamics have a phased impact on the market. Attention should be paid to the results of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's energy-saving special inspection on September 30 and the destocking situation in the industrial chain [2]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found. 2. Core Views of the Report PTA - Yesterday, PTA futures fluctuated and declined. The spot market negotiation atmosphere was average, and the spot basis was weak with differentiation. Polyester factories' bids increased. The mainstream spot basis today is at 01 - 51. The PTA device maintenance effect was less than expected, the spot market liquidity was okay, the spot basis weakened, and the price fluctuated following the cost side. Although the processing margin improved slightly from the low point, it remained at a relatively low level. Attention should be paid to the maintenance situation of Hengli Huizhou's device and subsequent upstream and downstream device changes [5]. - The spot price is 4700, the 01 - contract basis is - 32, and the futures price is at a premium, which is neutral. The PTA factory inventory is 3.81 days, a 0.1 - day increase compared to the previous period, which is bearish. The 20 - day moving average is downward, and the closing price is below the 20 - day moving average, which is bearish [6]. MEG - On Wednesday, the price of ethylene glycol (MEG) was consolidating at a low level, and the market negotiation was okay. The intraday MEG futures were weakly consolidating. The spot negotiation was traded at a premium of 86 - 92 yuan/ton to the 01 contract. Some contract merchants and suppliers participated in restocking, and the spot basis moderately strengthened at the end of the session. In terms of US dollars, the overseas MEG price was consolidating at a low level. The early - morning negotiation price for near - term shipments was around 524 - 525 US dollars/ton, and the afternoon negotiation price dropped to around 520 - 522 US dollars/ton. The 9 - end - of - September shipments were traded at around 519 - 523 US dollars/ton, and some financing merchants participated in inquiries [7]. - The spot price is 4434, the 01 - contract basis is 103, and the futures price is at a discount, which is bullish. The total inventory in East China is 40.63 tons, a 9.42 - ton decrease compared to the previous period, which is bullish. The 20 - day moving average is downward, and the closing price is below the 20 - day moving average, which is bearish. The arrival volume in early September is still moderately low, and there is still some room for a moderate decline in ports in the short term. In terms of demand, it is expected that the average load in September can reach 91.5%. The rigid demand support is gradually improving. Recently, the commodity market has corrected, and the MEG futures have been under pressure. It is expected that the price of MEG will mainly consolidate within a range in the short term, with strong support at the bottom. Subsequent attention should be paid to device changes and polyester load changes [7][8]. Influencing Factors - Bullish factors: In August, some PTA devices were scheduled for maintenance, improving supply - demand expectations. As the traditional "Golden September and Silver October" peak season approaches, the market has shown some expectations for demand recovery. Yisheng Hainan's 2 million - ton device stopped for maintenance, and Hengli Huizhou's 2.5 million - ton device had an unscheduled shutdown [11]. - Bearish factors: The profit margins of all links in the industrial chain continue to be under pressure, and the overall operating atmosphere remains cautious [10]. Current Main Logic and Risk Points - The short - term commodity market is greatly affected by the macro - level. Attention should be paid to the cost side.
