Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View This week, PVC opened flat and trended lower, with the weekly line showing two consecutive negative trends and the main contract hitting a new low for the year. In the coming week, the fundamentals remain largely unchanged, maintaining a weak pattern of high inventory and high warrants. There is no upward driving force on the supply - demand side, but the low absolute price and the strong performance of coal at the cost - end provide support at the bottom. With the main contract's open interest reaching a new high, attention should be paid to the short - covering opportunities in the later stage [3][4]. 3.

The long - term pattern of primary nickel is over - supply [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: The social inventory has slightly decreased, and the production schedule in October is stable. The futures price fluctuates at the bottom, and short - term operations are recommended [1]. - **Tin**: In the long - term, pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips [1]. Precious Metals and New Energy - **Precious Metals**: They are expected to continue to fluctuate in a range in the short term, with support below. Pay attention to the progress of the US government shutdown and Trump's tariff ruling [1]. - **Industrial Silicon**: Northwest production capacity resumes, southwest start - up is weaker than usual, and the impact of the dry season weakens. Polysilicon production in November decreases [1]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: It fluctuates. The traditional peak season for new energy vehicles is coming, energy storage demand is strong, but the hedging pressure is large [1]. Ferrous Metals - **Rebar**: There are concerns about potential weakening of industrial demand in the off - season. After the realization of macro - sentiment, pay attention to the upward pressure [1]. - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: The off - season effect is not obvious, but the industrial structure is still loose. Pay attention to the upward pressure on the price after the realization of macro - sentiment [1]. - **Iron Ore**: The near - month contract is restricted by production cuts, but the far - month has upward opportunities [1]. - **Glass**: Supply and demand are supportive, the valuation is low, but short - term sentiment dominates and the price fluctuates strongly [1]. - **Soda Ash**: It follows glass, but the supply and demand are average, and the upward resistance of the price is large [1]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Coking coal's trend is tangled near the previous high, and coke's high - point price includes the expectation of five rounds of price increases. The steel - coke game is intense, and the price may return to the shock range [1]. Agricultural Products - **Palm Oil**: It still faces the dual pressures of seasonal production increase and weak exports in the short term. A rebound may occur if export data improves in November [1]. - **Soybean Oil**: The purchase of US soybeans by China may bring a loose expectation, and the rebound momentum is insufficient [1]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: The meeting between Chinese and Canadian leaders brings a relaxation expectation, and the bumper harvest of Canadian rapeseed presses the price [1]. - **Cotton**: The new - year cotton demand is uncertain. The downward space of the futures price is limited, but the basis and the futures price may be under pressure [1]. - **Sugar**: The price has seasonal upward momentum in the short term, but the rebound space is expected to be limited after the new sugar is listed [1]. - **Corn**: The supply still faces selling pressure, and the short - term price is expected to fluctuate at a low level, with a medium - to - long - term rebound expected [1]. - **Soybeans**: The domestic soybean futures are expected to follow the US market and fluctuate strongly in the short term, but the global supply pattern restricts the rebound height [1]. - **Paper Pulp**: The trading logic is about the old warehouse receipts of the 11 - contract. The downward pressure on the futures price is large, and a 11 - 1 reverse spread is recommended [1]. - **Hogs**: The futures price follows the spot price and stabilizes and then weakens. There is still pressure on the supply in November [1]. Energy and Chemicals - **Fuel Oil**: OPEC+ plans to maintain a small increase in production in December, geopolitical speculation cools down, and market sentiment eases [1]. - **Asphalt**: The short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and it follows crude oil.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Steel products (Rebar and Hot-rolled coil)**: Cautiously bullish [1][4][5] - **Iron ore**: Cautiously bearish [1][6][7] - **Coke**: Cautiously bullish [1][9][10] - **Coking coal**: Cautiously bullish [1][12][13] - **Ferroalloys (Silicomanganese and Ferrosilicon)**: Cautiously bullish for silicomanganese; Cautiously bearish for ferrosilicon [1][16][17] 2. Core Views of the Report - **Steel products**: Rebar shows a supply-demand weakness in the off - season with production and apparent demand decreasing. Hot - rolled coil has falling production and demand, and a slight inverse - seasonal increase in inventory. Both are under pressure from the falling hot metal production [1][4][5] - **Iron ore**: This week, hot metal production decreased significantly due to environmental control and steel mill maintenance. With steel mills reducing inventory and ports accumulating inventory, and large - scale arrival of foreign ores, the short - term ore price is expected to fluctuate weakly [1][6][7] - **Coke**: The third round of price increase has been implemented, and the fourth round has started. Although coke enterprises' profits have slightly improved, they are still mostly in the loss state. The short - term replenishment enthusiasm is okay, and it runs in a range following the coking coal price [1][9][10] - **Coking coal**: Affected by safety inspections and environmental protection, the coal mine operating rate has decreased. With low inventory, sufficient pre - orders, and good sales, the short - term supply - demand pattern is healthy, and the price is expected to maintain a range [1][12][13] - **Ferroalloys**: For silicomanganese, supply is slightly down but still high, and demand is weakening with increasing inventory. For ferrosilicon, production area operating rate is increasing, demand is weakening, and inventory is increasing significantly [1][16][17] 3. Summaries According to Related Catalogs Steel Products - **Rebar**: Production and apparent demand decreased month - on - month, inventory decreased with a weaker - than - seasonal decline. It is testing the support at 3000 and may fluctuate at low levels [1][4][5] - **Hot - rolled coil**: Production and apparent demand declined, inventory increased slightly against the season, showing inventory pressure. It runs in a medium - term range and may have short - term rebounds after continuous declines [1][4][5] Iron Ore - The hot metal production decreased significantly this week. Steel mills are reducing inventory, ports are accumulating inventory, and foreign ore arrivals have increased. The short - term price is expected to be weakly volatile [1][6][7] Coke - The third - round price increase has been completed, and the fourth round has started. Coke enterprises' profits have slightly improved but are still mostly in losses. The short - term replenishment enthusiasm is okay, and it follows the coking coal price [1][9][10] Coking Coal - Affected by safety inspections and environmental protection, the coal mine operating rate decreased. With low inventory, sufficient pre - orders, and good sales, the short - term price is expected to be range - bound [1][12][13] Ferroalloys - **Silicomanganese**: Supply in the production area decreased slightly but is still at a high level. Demand is weakening, inventory is increasing with a slower growth rate. The short - term cost has some support [1][16][17] - **Ferrosilicon**: The production area operating rate is increasing, demand is weakening, and inventory is increasing significantly. Although the cost has some support, the fundamental situation is loose, and it is advisable to short on rallies [1][16][17]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The core contradiction affecting the ferroalloy market is the imbalance between high inventory and weak demand, challenges to cost support, and the gap between anti - involution expectations and weak reality. With the steel mills' profitability rate falling below 40% and iron - water production expected to decline, ferroalloy demand is likely to decrease. After the macro - sentiment fades, the ferroalloy market will return to its fundamentals of high inventory and weak demand, but will be supported by the cost side, expected to fluctuate [2]. - In the short - term, downstream finished - product inventory is accumulating seasonally, and the steel mills' profitability is declining, which may lead to a negative feedback loop in the black - metal industry, further weakening ferroalloy demand. In the long - term, the anti - involution expectation exists, but without substantial progress, there is a high risk of price fluctuations [6][10]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Chapter 1: Core Contradiction and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradiction - High inventory and weak demand: Ferroalloy production profit is declining, and the market doesn't expect further production increase. Downstream demand is entering the off - season, and both silicon ferro and silicon manganese inventories are at a five - year high, with silicon manganese inventory rising by 1.5% and silicon ferro by 9.3% week - on - week [2]. - Cost support challenges: The correlation between coking coal prices and ferroalloy prices is weakening, and the increase in coking coal prices doesn't drive up ferroalloy prices [2]. - Anti - involution expectation and weak reality: The anti - involution sentiment remains, but the high inventory and weak demand situation persists. The market is in a game between strong expectations and weak reality, with a high risk of price spikes followed by drops [2]. 3.1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: Technically, the 10 - day and 20 - day moving averages of ferroalloys are downward, and the MACD red bars are shrinking [11]. - **Price Range**: The price range of the silicon ferro main contract 2601 is 5200 - 6400, and that of the silicon manganese main contract 2601 is 5500 - 6500 [12]. - **Basis and Calendar Spread Strategies**: The basis is expected to narrow slightly, and no basis strategy is recommended. Although the 1 - 5 calendar spread of ferroalloys is at a five - year low, it's not advisable to buy the spread immediately due to high inventory and weak demand. The 1 - 5 spread may further weaken, but the risk of reverse - arbitrage is also high [12]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Price Range Forecast**: The monthly price range of silicon ferro is 5300 - 6000, and that of silicon manganese is 5300 - 6000. The current 20 - day rolling volatility of silicon ferro is 12.75% (18.8% in the three - year historical percentile), and that of silicon manganese is 9.62% (4.4% in the three - year historical percentile) [13]. - **Hedging Strategies**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory, it's recommended to short ferroalloy futures to prevent inventory depreciation. For enterprises with low procurement inventory, it's recommended to buy ferroalloy futures to lock in procurement costs [13]. 3.2 Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive News**: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is soliciting public opinions on the "Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry", with a capacity replacement ratio of at least 1.5:1. The fourth round of coke price increases has started. China's exports of automobiles, ships, and electromechanical products have increased [14]. - **Negative News**: The steel market is in a weak season, with steel mills' profitability declining, iron - water production decreasing, and the plate market having high inventory and production. Thailand has launched an anti - dumping investigation on domestic steel plates [14][15]. - **Weekly Data**: Silicon ferro production was 11410 tons (up 90 tons week - on - week), and silicon manganese production was 201880 tons (down 5845 tons week - on - week). Silicon ferro factory inventory was 78690 tons (up 6700 tons week - on - week), and silicon manganese factory inventory was 319500 tons (up 5000 tons week - on - week) [14][16]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Events to Watch - Next Monday: China's M2 money supply for October. - Next Friday: China's year - on - year growth rate of social consumer goods retail总额 and industrial added value above designated size for October. 3.3 Chapter 3: Market Analysis 3.3.1 Price, Volume, and Fund Analysis - **Unilateral Trends and Fund Movements**: The silicon ferro main contract 2601 closed at 5526, up 0.47% week - on - week, with a total open interest of 357300 lots, up 12.14% week - on - week. The silicon manganese main contract 01 closed at 5760, down 0.21% week - on - week, with a total open interest of 571100 lots, up 8.89% week - on - week. The net position of silicon ferro is short, and the net short position of silicon manganese is increasing [17]. - **Basis and Calendar Spread Structure**: The term structure of ferroalloys generally shows a contango structure, but the term structure of some silicon ferro and silicon manganese contracts is improving to a backwardation structure. The basis has been fluctuating slightly. The 1 - 5 calendar spread is at a five - year low, and it's not recommended to buy it immediately. With the anti - involution news, the 1 - 5 spread may further weaken [21][22]. 3.4 Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Upstream and Downstream Profit Tracking - Ferroalloy production profit is declining. Silicon ferro production remains high, and there is a strong incentive for enterprises to cut production. Silicon manganese production has been falling for several weeks [37]. - The export profit of silicon ferro has improved, and its export volume is expected to increase [63]. 3.5 Chapter 5: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projection 3.5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Projection - Supply: As the off - season approaches and production profit has been falling, there is a higher possibility of production cuts. With the arrival of the flat - water season, silicon manganese production in the southern region may decline, and overall ferroalloy production is expected to decrease [67]. - Demand: Downstream demand is entering the off - season. The profit of downstream products like rebar and hot - rolled coils is declining due to inventory accumulation, which will suppress the demand for ferroalloys. Iron - water production is likely to decline, and ferroalloy demand for steel - making may also decrease [67][77]. - Inventory: Warehouse receipts are expected to continue to decline due to forced cancellation and seasonal factors, and the total inventory will gradually decrease [67]. 3.5.2 Supply - Side Projection - Due to the decline in production profit, especially for silicon ferro, there is a strong incentive for production cuts, and the production is expected to decline slightly [69]. 3.5.3 Demand - Side Projection - The demand for ferroalloys is affected by the off - season and the decline in downstream product profit. The high iron - water production is difficult to maintain, and the demand for ferroalloys in steel - making may decrease [77]. 3.5.4 Inventory - Side Projection - Given the high operating rate of ferroalloy enterprises and weak downstream demand, enterprise inventory is likely to continue to accumulate. After the forced cancellation of warehouse receipts, new receipts will be registered, and the total inventory is expected to increase [93].

Core Viewpoint - The glass futures market is currently experiencing a tug-of-war between bullish and bearish factors, with prices oscillating within a narrow range of 1080-1120, while inventory levels have shown a decline over the past two weeks, raising questions about a potential rebound in the glass market [1][3]. Market Review - Since late October, glass futures have mostly traded within the 1080-1120 range, indicating limited upward or downward movement. As of November 7, prices are again in a narrow consolidation phase [1]. - The total inventory of float glass sample enterprises remains high at 63.136 million heavy boxes, despite a week-on-week decrease of 2.654 million heavy boxes, representing a decline of 4.03%. However, this figure is still up 29.05% year-on-year [3][7]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The glass market is characterized by a fierce battle between supply and demand. High inventory levels on the supply side and weak demand are suppressing price rebounds, while cost support and production line upgrades provide some bottom support [3]. - From January to September, the area of completed real estate projects in China decreased by 15.3%, and the average order days for deep processing were only 10.8 days, leading some companies to face a "no orders" situation [3]. Cost Support - Despite a decline in spot prices, the profit margins for the float glass industry remain within an acceptable range, with current profit levels at the median for the year. However, if profits continue to decline, cost support may gradually become more significant [4]. - As of November 6, the gross profit for float glass production using coal as fuel is 78.1 yuan/ton, while using petroleum coke and natural gas results in negative margins of -1.77 yuan/ton and -172.7 yuan/ton, respectively [4]. - The recent "coal-to-gas" initiative in the Shihezi area has garnered market attention, potentially leading to short-term supply reductions and increased production costs by 80-100 yuan/ton due to fuel price differences [4]. Inventory Trends - The recent two-week decline in glass enterprise inventories has provided some positive signals, with total inventory dropping to 63.136 million heavy boxes as of November 6. However, this decline may merely reflect a transfer of inventory from enterprises to social stock rather than a genuine improvement in end-user demand [7]. Market Outlook - In the short term, the ongoing struggle between high inventory and cost support is expected to continue, with the 1080-1120 yuan/ton range likely to persist. Traders may consider a high-sell low-buy strategy while monitoring potential breakout points [9]. - Future breakthroughs in glass futures may arise from either a contraction in supply or a substantial improvement in demand, particularly in the real estate sector, which remains in a bottoming cycle [9][12].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Steel products may show a volatile trend after challenging the previous low support level, as the arrival volume of iron ore at ports has increased significantly, port inventories are accumulating, iron ore valuations are relatively high, the consumption demand for finished products has entered the off - season, and the subsequent improvement in apparent demand is difficult. Additionally, recent macro - sentiment has weakened, and iron ore prices have declined while coking coal prices have corrected [3]. - The iron ore market is in a short - term pattern of "exhausted macro - benefits and pressured fundamentals". With high global shipments, accumulating port inventories, shrinking steel mill profits, falling hot metal production, and high finished product inventory pressure, the upside potential for iron ore prices is limited [22]. - The demand for coking coal and coke has reached a phased peak, and short - term prices may face adjustments. However, in the long - term, due to policies restricting coking coal supply elasticity and upcoming winter storage, the downward adjustment space for coking coal spot prices may be limited. If coking coal supply tightens in the fourth quarter and winter storage demand is released in mid - to late November, the overall valuation center of the black industry may rise [34]. - Ferroalloys are expected to be volatile, as they have returned to the fundamentals of high inventory and weak demand after the macro - sentiment subsided, but are supported by the cost side [46]. - The rigid demand for soda ash is expected to weaken due to the renewed expectation of glass cold repair. Although the cost side is expected to be firm, without production cuts, the valuation has limited upward elasticity. The medium - to long - term supply of soda ash is expected to remain high, and the upper - and middle - stream inventories are high, restricting prices, but there is cost support below [55]. - The coal - to - gas conversion in Shahe will be gradually implemented this month, which may affect market supply and sentiment, but its impact is considered limited as the off - season approaches and the middle - stream inventory is high. The 01 contract of glass may continue to be highly contested until near delivery. Structurally, without unexpected production cuts, the price of the 01 contract of glass will tend to decline, but with cost support and policy expectations in the long - term [83]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Steel Products - **Prices and Spreads**: - On November 7, 2025, the closing prices of螺纹钢01, 05, and 10 contracts were 3034, 3095, and 3132 yuan/ton respectively, with corresponding price changes compared to November 6.

The基差 values in different regions such as Shahe and Hubei also changed [84]. - **Fundamentals**: - The coal - to - gas conversion in Shahe may affect market supply and sentiment, but the impact is limited due to the approaching off - season and high middle - stream inventory. The 01 contract of glass may continue to be highly contested until near delivery [83].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - In October 2025, the domestic urea market showed a "first decline then rise" trend, affected by weather, supply - demand, and policy. Currently, the urea price is relatively low, and with the expected stabilization of coal prices, the downside space is limited. However, the supply will remain at a high level year - on - year, the demand is in the off - season, and the "supply - strong, demand - weak" pattern persists. In the fourth quarter, the urea market will face continuous supply pressure, lack strong demand drivers, and is likely to fluctuate at a low level [2][26] Group 3: Summary by Directory Market行情回顾 - In mid - and early - October, after the National Day holiday, continuous rainfall delayed agricultural activities, weakening terminal purchasing willingness and increasing enterprise inventories. With the weakening of export support, prices declined. In mid - and late - October, prices reached a low of 1460 - 1470 yuan/ton, then demand increased, and positive policy signals boosted confidence, leading to price recovery. As of October 31, the Shandong Linyi market price was 1590 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton from the beginning of the month, and the urea 2601 contract closed at 1625 yuan/ton, with a monthly decline of 2.69% [6] Agricultural需求季节性推迟 - In October, agricultural urea demand was "delayed" due to continuous rainfall, which postponed corn harvest and wheat sowing, delaying fertilizer demand. Farmers adopted a "buy - as - you - use" strategy, increasing supply - demand imbalance. In the compound fertilizer sector, production and capacity utilization decreased in October, with a production of 362.87 million tons, a 22.16% month - on - month decline, and an average capacity utilization of 28.18%, down 8.02% month - on - month and 1.94% year - on - year. In September, urea exports were strong, with 137.12 million tons, but exports may decline in October [10][11][12] Supply高位运行 - In October, China's urea production was 588.19 million tons, an increase of 13.42 million tons from the previous month and a decrease of 0.71 million tons from the same period last year. There were new device overhauls and new capacity resumptions, with a slight reduction in overhaul losses, leading to production growth [17] Factory库存压力较大 - In October, domestic urea factory inventories first rose and then fell. In mid - and early - October, rainfall reduced demand and increased inventories. In mid - and late - October, inventories decreased slightly but remained high. At the end of October, factory inventories were 155.43 million tons, a 33.82% month - on - month and 30.30% year - on - year increase. Port inventories decreased significantly, ending at 21 million tons, a 57.69% month - on - month and 4.11% year - on - year decrease [19][20] 后市展望 - In terms of cost, coal prices are expected to stabilize, and cost support for urea prices may emerge. In terms of supply - demand, gas - based urea enterprises will enter the overhaul period in November, but coal - based production will remain high, and supply pressure persists. In November, agricultural demand enters the off - season, with demand mainly supported by reserves. Overall, the "supply - strong, demand - weak" pattern remains, and the market is likely to fluctuate at a low level in the fourth quarter [26]

PP2601 closed at 6471 yuan/ton, down 37 yuan/ton (-0.57%), with an open interest of 652,800 lots and an increase of 818,000 lots [6] - Futures remained weak, which was negative for market sentiment. Most trade offers fell, and downstream purchasing enthusiasm was low, with only rigid demand purchases [6] - There are no new investment plans in November. Some maintenance devices will be restarted one after another, and the device operating load may continue to increase, and the pressure of new capacity expansion will intensify the imbalance between supply and demand [6] - The seasonal peak of agricultural film production has passed, and the demand for pipes has increased first and then decreased. The production of PP woven bags has been boosted by packaging demand, and BOPP enterprises are mainly digesting inventory. The downstream is dominated by fear of falling prices, and the willingness to stock up is low, which further drags down the transaction price [6] - In general, under the dual effects of weak cost support and continuous loose supply and demand, the downward pressure on polyolefin prices is expected to continue [6] Group 4: Industry News - On November 6, 2025, the inventory level of major producers was 695,000 tons, a decrease of 15,000 tons (-2.11%) from the previous working day; the inventory at the same time last year was 720,000 tons [7] - The PE market price continued to be weak. The price of LLDPE in North China was 6,780 - 7,000 yuan/ton, in East China was 6,900 - 7,500 yuan/ton, and in South China was 7,150 - 7,500 yuan/ton [7] - The mainstream price of propylene in the Shandong market was temporarily referred to as 5,650 - 5,650 yuan/ton, a decrease of 100 yuan/ton from the previous working day. The downstream demand continued to be weak, and the willingness of production enterprises to sell at a discount was obvious. The decline of propylene price widened, and the downstream factories were more wait - and - see, and the overall market transaction was still average [7] - The PP market remained weak, and the prices of some grades dropped by 30 - 50 yuan/ton. The mainstream price of North China drawstring was 6,220 - 6,450 yuan/ton, in East China was 6,330 - 6,550 yuan/ton, and in South China was 6,390 - 6,550 yuan/ton [7]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current macro - level is in a relatively vacuum period, A - shares lack a clear upward main line, market trading volume remains low, and the stock index continues to fluctuate, accumulating momentum for the next round of upward movement. Meanwhile, with policy support and abundant macro - liquidity, there is still strong support below the stock index [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - **Treasury Bonds**: Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has recently warned of interest - rate risks, suppressing the upward space, showing an oscillating trend [1]. - **Copper**: The tight pattern of US dollar liquidity has eased, market risk appetite has recovered, and copper prices have stopped falling [1]. - **Aluminum**: Recently, the industrial - side driving force is limited, and the macro - level benefits have been digested, so aluminum prices are oscillating [1]. - **Alumina**: With still a small profit in production, domestic alumina production capacity is continuously released, and both production and inventory are increasing, putting pressure on the spot price. Recently, attention should be paid to the cost support [1]. - **Zinc**: The US government shutdown has reached the longest historical record, and market risk - aversion sentiment has increased. The LME zinc inventory has been continuously decreasing, and the short - squeeze movement has driven zinc prices higher. However, considering the domestic oversupply, caution is needed when chasing high prices [1]. Non - ferrous Metals - **Nickel**: The better - than - expected US ADP data has alleviated concerns about the US economic recession, but the expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut has been suppressed, and market risk appetite has fluctuated. Indonesia has recently restricted the approval of nickel - related smelting projects again, but the approved projects are not affected. In the fourth quarter, attention should be paid to the approval of nickel - ore quotas in 2026. Nickel prices may oscillate in the short term, and high inventory pressure should be watched out for. It is recommended to trade within a short - term range, and the long - term surplus pattern of primary nickel will continue [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: The better - than - expected US ADP data has alleviated concerns about the US economic recession, but the expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut has been suppressed, and market risk appetite has fluctuated. Indonesia has restricted the approval of nickel - related smelting projects again, but the approved projects are not affected. In the fourth quarter, attention should be paid to the progress of the approval of Indonesian nickel - ore quotas, and the premium at the ore end is currently stable. The price of raw - material ferronickel has weakened slightly, the social inventory of stainless steel has decreased slightly, and the steel mills' production plan for October is stable. Macro - sentiment is fluctuating, steel mills have recently lifted price limits, and stainless - steel futures are oscillating at the bottom. It is recommended to trade short - term and look for opportunities to sell on rallies [1]. - **Tin**: Recently, the positive macro - sentiment has been digested. Considering that the raw - material end of tin has not recovered and the new - quality demand is expected to be good, it is still recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips in the long - term [1]. Precious Metals and New Energy - **Precious Metals (Gold and Silver)**: Judges of the high - court generally question the legitimacy of tariffs, increasing market uncertainty and supporting precious - metal prices. However, the resilience of US economic data has disrupted the interest - rate cut expectation. Precious metals are expected to oscillate within a range in the short term [1]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The production capacity in the northwest is continuously resuming, the start - up in the southwest is weaker than in previous years, and the impact of the dry season is weakened [1]. - **Polysilicon**: In the long - term, there is an expectation of production - capacity reduction. In the fourth quarter, the terminal installation will increase marginally. The anti - involution policy has not been implemented for a long time, and market sentiment has faded [1]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The traditional peak season for new - energy vehicles is approaching, the energy - storage demand is strong, but the hedging pressure is large [1]. Ferrous Metals - **Rebar**: There are concerns about the potential weakening of industrial demand in the off - season. After the macro - sentiment is realized, attention should be paid to the upward pressure. It is advisable to participate in the out - of - the - money accumulative put option strategy [1]. - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: The off - season effect of the industry is not obvious, but the industrial structure is still loose. Similarly, attention should be paid to the upward pressure on prices after the macro - sentiment is realized [1]. - **Iron Ore**: Near - month production is restricted, but the commodity sentiment is good, and there is still an upward opportunity for far - month contracts [1]. - **Sulfur**: The direct demand is good, and there is cost support, but the supply is high, inventory is accumulating, and the sector is under pressure, with limited price rebound space [1]. - **Coke and Coking Coal**: Coking coal is struggling near the previous high, repeatedly testing the support. The high point of the coke futures price has included the expectation of five rounds of price increases, but the actual three - round price increase has been delayed, and the game is intense. Based on the tight supply, coke and coking coal are relatively strong, but considering the weakening of steel prices and the potential weakening of steel demand in November, the futures prices of coke and coking coal are likely to return to the oscillating range after a false breakout. In the short - term, it is advisable to wait and see, and in the long - term, it is still advisable to go long at low prices. Industrial customers can consider selling hedging [1]. Agricultural Products - **Palm Oil**: In the short term, palm oil still faces the dual pressures of seasonal production increase and weak exports. However, starting from November, Malaysia enters the traditional production - reduction cycle. If export data improve significantly, it may trigger a staged rebound [1]. - **Soybean Oil**: According to the China - US negotiation agreement, China will purchase 12 million tons of US soybeans in the next two months, which may bring a loose expectation for soybean oil in the fourth quarter, and the rebound momentum is insufficient. The actual impact needs to be observed [1]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: The meeting between Chinese and Canadian leaders has brought the expectation of Sino - Canadian relaxation, and the bumper harvest of Canadian rapeseed has put pressure on the futures price [1]. - **Cotton**: Although the production capacity in Xinjiang is expanding, the production capacity in the inland may decrease marginally. At the same time, due to the thinning of spinning profits in Xinjiang, the operating rate may also be affected. The contradiction between the expansion of Xinjiang's production capacity and the reduction of spinning profits makes the cotton demand in the new year highly uncertain. The current futures price has fully priced in the selling pressure of new crops, and the downward space is limited, but under the background of a record - high production of new crops, the basis and futures price may continue to be under pressure [1]. - **Sugar**: Typhoons before and after the National Day have had an adverse impact on the sugar - cane harvest and production in South China. There is a seasonal upward impetus for sugar prices in the short term. In the medium - term, considering the good growth of sugar cane this year, the rebound space after the new - sugar listing is expected to be limited [1]. - **Soybeans and Soybean Meal**: The domestic soybean purchase and crushing profit is poor, and the domestic futures price is undervalued. With the expectation of China's purchase of US soybeans, the import cost of US soybeans is expected to rise, and the domestic futures price is expected to rebound in the short term to repair the crushing profit. However, the current loose supply of domestic soybean - meal spot and the expected loose global soybean supply in the long - term limit the rebound height [1]. - **Paper Pulp**: The current trading logic of paper pulp is related to the trading of old warehouse receipts for the November contract. With weak downstream demand, the futures price is under great pressure. It is recommended to conduct a reverse spread between the November and January contracts [1]. - **Log**: The fundamentals of logs have declined, but the spot price is firm. After a sharp decline in the futures price, the risk - return ratio of short - selling is low. It is recommended to wait and see [1]. - **Live Pigs**: In the past half - month, the spot price has risen alternately in the north and south due to secondary fattening, frozen - product storage, and reluctance to sell, which has postponed the production capacity. There is still pressure on the November slaughter. In the short term, the futures price is at the same level as the spot price, and the futures price will follow the spot price to stabilize and then weaken [1]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: OPEC+ plans to continue a small - scale production increase in December, the short - term geopolitical speculation has cooled down, and the suspension of some China - US trade - tariff policies has eased market sentiment [1]. - **Fuel Oil**: Similar to crude oil, the short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and it follows the trend of crude oil. The demand for the 14th Five - Year Plan construction rush is likely to be falsified, and the supply of Venezuelan crude oil is sufficient. The profit of asphalt is high [1]. - **Natural Rubber**: There is strong support from raw - material costs, the mid - stream inventory is continuously decreasing, and the commodity - market atmosphere is positive [1]. - **BR Rubber**: The decline of crude - oil prices has reduced the cost support of butadiene, and the supply of synthetic rubber is loose. High - production and high - inventory have not suppressed the price, and the mainstream supply price has been continuously reduced [1]. - **PTA**: Gasoline profit and low benzene price support PX. The gasoline cracking price has risen above $15, prompting refineries to increase gasoline production and reduce the feed of aromatic - hydrocarbon units. Overseas device failures and the decline of the operating load of some domestic reforming units, as well as the rotation inspection of large domestic PTA devices, have led to a decline in domestic PTA production [1]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The decline of crude - oil prices has led to a decline in ethylene - glycol prices, while the rise of coal prices has slightly strengthened the cost support of domestic ethylene glycol. The "Golden September and Silver October" of the polyester industry is coming to an end, and the domestic demand has not significantly declined [1]. - **Short - Fiber**: Gasoline profit and low benzene price support PX. The rebound of PTA prices has strengthened the basis of short - fiber. Short - fiber prices continue to fluctuate closely with costs [1]. - **Styrene**: The Asian benzene price is still weak, the operating rates of STDP and reforming units have declined, the arbitrage window from Northeast Asia to the US is still closed, the profit of domestic styrene has decreased, the number of styrene - device overhauls has gradually increased, and crude - oil prices have continued to fall [1]. - **Urea**: The export sentiment has eased slightly, and the limited domestic demand restricts the upward space. There is support from anti - involution and cost - end factors [1]. - **PE**: Under high - supply, the inventory pressure is large, the intensity of overhauls has weakened, and the downstream demand is slowly increasing, but the peak season is not prosperous [1]. - **PP**: The support from overhauls is limited, and the new - device production has increased the supply pressure. The downstream improvement is less than expected, and the futures price has returned to the fundamentals, showing a weak - oscillating trend [1]. - **PVC**: The overhauls have decreased compared with the previous period, and the new production capacity has been released, increasing the supply pressure. The rise of coal prices has strengthened the cost support of PVC [1]. - **Caustic Soda**: Many alumina projects in Guangxi are planned to be put into production, the subsequent concentration of overhauls will decrease, the high - concentration caustic soda is at a negative premium, the absolute price is low, and the near - month warehouse receipts are limited, so there is a risk of short - squeeze [1]. - **LPG**: The international oil - gas fundamentals are continuously loose, the CP/FEI prices have weakened, the valuation of the domestic LPG futures price has been repaired, and the domestic spot fundamentals are stable due to short - term cooling and chemical rigid demand [1]. Others - **Container Shipping (European Route)**: The positive macro - sentiment has been gradually digested, the expectation of price increases in the peak season has been priced in advance, and the shipping capacity supply in November is relatively loose [1].

Market Overview - As of November 6, the number of manganese silicon futures warehouse receipts recorded 12,758, remaining stable compared to the previous trading day. However, there was a cumulative increase of 4,658 receipts over the past week, representing a growth rate of 57.51%. In contrast, there was a cumulative decrease of 42,103 receipts over the past month, indicating a decline of 76.74% [1]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - In the Yunnan production area, the official entry into the dry season has led to a significant increase in electricity costs from 0.37 yuan/kWh during the wet season to 0.5 yuan/kWh. Additionally, six silicon manganese thermal furnaces have been shut down for maintenance since October 31, while three furnaces are operating at reduced capacity, collectively affecting daily output by 880 tons [1]. - According to recent data, the latest bidding price for silicon manganese alloy from a steel mill in East China is 5,798 yuan/ton, including tax and discounts [2]. Institutional Insights - According to Everbright Futures, despite a reduction in production in the main manganese silicon production areas last week, overall output remains relatively stable. The demand from sample steel mills is still at a relatively low level, with limited willingness to sell at low prices. The cost side remains firm, with a slight decrease in manganese ore shipments, and miners are showing a strong willingness to maintain prices. Inventory pressure is evident, with 63 sample enterprises accumulating stock exceeding 300,000 tons, reaching a peak not seen since April 2024. Overall, market sentiment has been somewhat boosted, but the fundamental driving force remains limited, necessitating ongoing attention to market sentiment changes, with expectations of a predominantly volatile market in the short term [3]. - Guoxin Futures notes that the manganese silicon industry chain is characterized by overall overcapacity and the introduction of new production capacity, alongside relatively loose manganese ore supply and low steel demand, leading to a predominantly weak supply-demand dynamic. However, with manganese silicon prices at low levels and production profits being poor, there is limited room for further market decline. The recent rise in coal prices suggests a potential for a moderate bullish outlook on manganese silicon [4].
