Group 1 - The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.2% year-on-year and month-on-month in October, while the Producer Price Index (PPI) decreased by 2.1% year-on-year but increased by 0.1% month-on-month, indicating a recovery in the macroeconomic environment [1] - The improvement in CPI and PPI is attributed to effective domestic demand policies and positive changes in supply-demand relationships in certain industries, highlighting the role of policy, structure, and expectations in driving price recovery [1][2] - The rise in CPI reflects a recovery in the consumption market, significantly influenced by the holiday economy during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, which boosted service consumption in travel, accommodation, and tourism [1][2] Group 2 - The core CPI has expanded for six consecutive months, indicating a steady increase in demand for healthcare, home services, and entertainment, reflecting a shift in consumer preferences towards experiential and high-quality products [2] - The positive change in PPI signals a stabilization in the industrial economy, with the month-on-month increase in PPI suggesting a gradual recovery in industrial production demand, which supports CPI stability and enhances corporate production willingness and profitability [2] - The collaborative recovery between upstream and downstream industries strengthens the endogenous growth momentum of the economy, laying a solid foundation for sustained economic improvement [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report's Core View - The bond market has shown a volatile downward trend recently due to a mix of bullish and bearish factors. The central bank's restart of open - market Treasury bond trading and the marginal weakening of macro - data have strengthened the expectation of policy easing, providing core support for the bond market. However, the strengthening of the equity market and the approaching implementation of the "Sales New Rules" have caused short - term disturbances to market sentiment. Despite short - term disturbances, the core logic supporting the bond market's improvement at the end of the year remains solid. As the suppression from the equity market eases and market forces undergo structural changes, bond market sentiment is expected to continue to recover, and short - term fluctuations may present good allocation opportunities [2][87][88]. - The central bank's open - market Treasury bond trading in October was relatively restrained. It is a regular operation to enrich the liquidity - injection toolbox, bringing longer - term and cheaper funds to the market, which is expected to maintain overall market liquidity and ease the fund - stratification phenomenon. The weakening of October's economic data may lead to a marginal increase in the market's expectation of reserve - requirement ratio cuts and interest - rate cuts, which could boost the year - end "long" sentiment in the bond market. The independent strength of the A - share market has temporarily boosted risk appetite and suppressed the bond market, but this suppression may be only temporary at the end of the year. The approaching implementation of the "Sales New Rules" has recently increased short - term market disturbances, but there is a possibility of a "sell - the - rumor, buy - the - news" market trend after the policy is officially implemented. Market forces are undergoing structural changes, with the active trading forces retreating, while rural commercial banks, which were previously conservative, have started to replenish their positions significantly, which is important for warming market sentiment and restoring confidence [2][88]. - If there is no increase in the expectation of interest - rate cuts to catalyze the bond - market rally, the market may show a narrow - range downward oscillation from November to December. Considering the weakening economic data, the market's expectation of reserve - requirement ratio cuts and interest - rate cuts may increase marginally, boosting the year - end "long" sentiment in the bond market. It is conservatively estimated that the lower limits of the yields of 30 - year and 10 - year Treasury bonds (old bonds) may be around 1.9% and 1.7% respectively. In terms of investment strategy, it is recommended to set the portfolio duration in the medium - to - long range. For allocation, it is advisable to select high - quality coupon - bearing assets as the bottom - position, adopting the "coupon + carry - trade" income approach, and exploring the allocation opportunities of 2 - year AA -/AA - rated credit bonds and 10 - year local government bonds. For trading, it is recommended to pay attention to the trading opportunities of medium - duration varieties such as secondary perpetual bonds that have experienced significant declines [2][89].

As the implementation of the "Sales New Rules" approaches, interest rates have generally shown a volatile upward trend. The yields of 1 - year, 3 - year, 5 - year, 7 - year, 10 - year, and 30 - year Treasury bonds and the corresponding yields of China Development Bank bonds have all changed to some extent. The implied tax rate of 10 - year China Development Bank bonds increased slightly. The liquidity premium of active bonds has generally increased.

Regions with relatively large issuance scales include Jiangsu, Sichuan, Shandong, Guizhou, and Henan, accounting for about 35.67% of the total issuance scale [40][42]. 4. Institutional Behavior Tracking - Last week, the scale of leveraged trading fluctuated around a high - level center, with an average of about 7.97 trillion yuan. In the cash - bond market, the buying power of state - owned banks weakened, and they continued to prefer to increase their holdings of Treasury bonds with maturities of less than 5 years, but the buying scale decreased compared to the previous week. Rural commercial banks changed from selling to buying, with a total weekly increase in holdings of less than 5 billion yuan, which was a significant improvement compared to the previous week's net - selling of over 124 billion yuan. The承接 power of funds weakened, and securities companies sold about 31 billion yuan net. In contrast, the insurance industry's willingness to increase its holdings increased marginally, and it increased its holdings of policy - financial bonds with maturities of over 5 years [61][71]. - In September 2025, the overall inter - bank market institutional leverage ratio was about 118.68%, an increase of about 0.06 percentage points from August.

The central parity rate of the US dollar against the RMB last week was 7.08 [84]. 6. Market Outlook - The bond market is expected to continue to recover as the suppression from the equity market eases and market forces undergo structural changes. Short - term fluctuations may present good allocation opportunities. It is conservatively estimated that the lower limits of the yields of 30 - year and 10 - year Treasury bonds (old bonds) may be around 1.9% and 1.7% respectively. In terms of investment strategy, it is recommended to set the portfolio duration in the medium - to - long range, select high - quality coupon - bearing assets as the bottom - position, and explore the allocation opportunities of 2 - year AA -/AA - rated credit bonds and 10 - year local government bonds. For trading, it is recommended to pay attention to the trading opportunities of medium - duration varieties such as secondary perpetual bonds that have experienced significant declines [87][88][89].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, zinc prices were driven by LME at the beginning of the week, with SHFE zinc breaking through upwards and then maintaining high - level oscillations. The macro - sentiment is neutral this week. The US government shutdown makes it difficult to predict subsequent interest rate cuts due to data shortages, and Powell's hawkish speech reduces the expectation of interest rate cuts. Although some US economic data shows weakness, the ADP data slightly eases labor concerns. The US dollar index breaks through 100 due to liquidity tightness, suppressing the upside of non - ferrous metals [2]. - Fundamentally, on the supply side, domestic smelters' winter storage is not over, and raw materials are tight in the short term. TC is under pressure, slightly suppressing the willingness to start production, but refined zinc production is still at a historical high, with a projected slight decline in November. Overseas, refined zinc remains in a tight supply pattern, and LME inventories continue to decline. On the demand side, there is no suitable driving force in the short term, and it remains stable. Looking ahead, although the supply is still stronger than demand, there is expected to be some improvement in November due to the opening of the export window and the compression of smelting profits. It is expected to be mainly in a relatively strong oscillatory pattern, so attention should be paid to macro data and the supply - demand game [2]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - **Macro - level**: The US government shutdown affects interest rate cut predictions. Powell's hawkish speech reduces the expectation of interest rate cuts. US economic data shows mixed signals, and the high - level oscillation of the US dollar index suppresses non - ferrous metals [2]. - **Fundamental - level**: - **Supply**: Domestic smelters' winter storage leads to short - term raw material tightness. TC decline may slightly suppress production start - up in November, but production is still at a high level. Overseas, supply is tight, and LME inventories are decreasing. - **Demand**: There is no short - term driving force, remaining stable. In the near - term, the zinc market's fundamentals are mixed. In the long - term, macro factors are generally optimistic, but the demand side needs support from infrastructure and real estate [2][5][7]. 3.1.2 Trading - type Strategy Recommendations - **Market Positioning**: The current SHFE zinc main contract is in a relatively strong oscillatory pattern, with potential upward drivers influenced by exports and macro factors. The pressure level is around 23,000 yuan/ton, and the support level is around 22,200 yuan/ton. The trading volume and open interest are neutral [10][11]. - **Short - term Futures Strategy**: High - sell and low - buy within the range. Lightly go long around 22,200 - 22,300 yuan/ton with a stop - loss around 22,100 yuan/ton; go short around 22,900 - 23,000 yuan/ton with a stop - loss around 23,100 yuan/ton. Due to the strong prediction of zinc prices in November, short - selling is not recommended for now [11]. - **Short - term Options Strategy**: Mainly adopt the option double - selling strategy [11]. - **Basis, Calendar Spread, and Hedging Arbitrage Strategy Recommendations**: - **Basis Strategy**: Although the current basis is at a historical low, due to weak fundamentals, going long on the basis is not recommended. - **Calendar Spread Strategy**: There is currently no recommendation. - **Hedging Arbitrage Strategy**: With the strong overseas and weak domestic market, the internal - external price difference is expanding. Consider cross - market arbitrage, specifically selling overseas and buying domestically, and it is advisable to enter the market now [12]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Short - term Futures Strategy**: It has been continuously profitable, and the point prediction has been accurate in the past two weeks. - **Options Strategy**: Adopt the wide - straddle options strategy. - **Internal - External Arbitrage Strategy**: It is advisable to enter the market. - **Zinc Risk Management Recommendations**: - **Inventory Management**: For high finished - product inventory, worry about price drops. Sell 75% of the SHFE zinc main contract at 22,700 yuan/ton. - **Raw Material Management**: For low raw - material inventory, worry about price increases. Buy 50% of the SHFE zinc main contract at 21,700 yuan/ton [17][18]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Attention Events 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: SHFE zinc inventories are decreasing; domestic processing fees TC are accelerating their decline; the export window for domestic zinc ingots is open, and SMM predicts an export volume of about 10,000 tons in October; LME inventories are continuously decreasing; LME spot premiums remain at a high level [19][20]. - **Negative Information**: The downstream开工率 in the domestic market is declining, and the domestic spot premium is weak, reflecting weak actual demand [21]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - **Chinese Data and Events**: China's October M2/social financing data (expected to be announced between the 10th and 13th); SMM/Mysteel domestic social inventory update on the 10th; SHFE/SMM weekly inventory data on the 14th. - **International Data and Events**: US October PPI and retail sales data; speeches by multiple Fed officials on inflation and employment; actual changes in China's export volume and LME inventories (especially Asian warehouses) [23]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Price - Volume and Fund Interpretation - **Internal Market**: Zinc prices oscillated at a high level this week, closing at 22,720 yuan/ton. Profitable positions are mainly long in net positions. The domestic basis - calendar spread structure is stable, and the SHFE zinc term structure maintains a C structure [24][26]. - **External Market**: LME zinc was relatively strong this week, closing at 3,057.5 US dollars/ton. Investment companies and credit institutions hold a large proportion of positions, and the LME zinc term structure maintains a B structure due to inventory tightness [28][34]. - **Internal - External Price Difference Tracking**: The internal - external price difference continues to expand, mainly due to the difference in fundamentals between the two markets [36]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking in the Industry Chain Zinc concentrate processing fees continue to decline in November, and the smelting start - up rate is expected to decline slightly [38]. 3.4.2 Import - Export Profit Tracking In September, zinc ore imports reached 505,400 tons, a slight increase. Currently, due to the influence of domestic smelting start - up rates, zinc ore imports are at a five - year high. However, due to the weakening internal - external price ratio, the profit of imported ores is poor, and importers are more inclined to wait and see [41]. 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 3.5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Deduction - **Zinc Concentrate Monthly Balance**: The actual consumption exceeds production and imports in most months, showing a supply - demand gap [43][44]. - **Refined Zinc Monthly Balance**: The production, net imports, and consumption data show different supply - demand balances in different months, with some months having a surplus and others a deficit [44]. 3.5.2 Supply - side and Deduction In November, domestic supply enters the winter storage period. Imported ores are in a state of continuous loss, and raw materials are expected to be tight, with a slight decline in the start - up rate [46]. 3.5.3 Demand - side and Deduction The开工率 this week was stable [52].
