Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Thread Steel**: ★★★, indicating a clear upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - **Hot Rolled Coil**: ★★★, indicating a clear upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - **Iron Ore**: ★★★, indicating a clear upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - **Coke**: ★☆★, suggesting a short - term balanced state with poor operability on the current trading floor [1] - **Coking Coal**: ★☆★, suggesting a short - term balanced state with poor operability on the current trading floor [1] - **Silicon Manganese**: ★★☆, indicating a clear downward trend and the market is evolving [1] - **Silicon Iron**: ★★☆, indicating a clear downward trend and the market is evolving [1] Core Viewpoints - The overall market of the black metal industry is complex, with different products showing different trends. The short - term market is affected by factors such as supply and demand, policies, and inventory levels. Some products are expected to be volatile, while others are expected to show a weakening trend [1][2][5] Summary by Product Steel - The steel market is in a weak and volatile state. The apparent demand for thread steel has declined month - on - month, and the recovery lacks sustainability. The supply - demand of hot - rolled coils has stabilized. The iron - making water output has reached a high level, but the resumption of production will slow down significantly later. The manufacturing PMI has declined, and the real estate market is still weak. The market will be mainly in a weak and volatile state in the short term [1] Iron Ore - The iron ore market is slightly weaker. The global shipment has increased month - on - month, and the domestic arrival volume has rebounded. The port inventory has started to accumulate. Although the short - term demand is still high, the frequent news of crude steel production restrictions has dragged down the market from the expected level. It is expected to be volatile, with short - term price support and pressure from the decline of iron - making water output in the future [2] Coke - The coke price rebounded slightly at the end of the session due to position reduction. The second round of price increase was rejected, and the inventory is still at a high level. The supply of carbon elements is abundant, and the downstream iron - making water output has increased significantly. Attention should be paid to the evolution of steel exports [3] Coking Coal - The coking coal price rebounded slightly at the end of the session due to position reduction. The production of coking coal mines is gradually recovering, but the production has decreased slightly this week. The spot auction market has weakened, and the inventory pressure at the production end is high. It is expected to be in a weak and volatile state [5] Silicon Manganese - The price of silicon manganese has reached a new low this year. The port inventory of manganese ore has been increasing. The supply of silicon manganese has decreased, but the overall inventory has increased significantly, suppressing the price. It is recommended to short on rebounds [6] Silicon Iron - The price of the 2509 contract of silicon iron has reached a new low this year. The iron - making water output has increased, but the export demand and secondary demand are generally weak. The supply has decreased, the inventory has increased, and the fundamentals are weak.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The price of eggs fluctuated and declined this week. The 06 contract closed at 2942 yuan per 500 kilograms, a decrease of 70 yuan per 500 kilograms compared to the previous week. The feed raw material prices are rising due to Sino - US tariff policies, which supports the egg cost. However, the old chicken culling has slowed down again after the previous egg price increase, and the current laying - hen inventory is at a high level. The newly - opened production of the previously stocked laying hens is gradually increasing, so the egg supply is relatively sufficient. Meanwhile, as the festival stocking is coming to an end, the purchasing power of downstream terminals has weakened, and the egg price also tends to stop rising and decline. Affected by the decline of spot prices, the futures market has also weakened, and market volatility has increased. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [6]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Week - on - Week Summary - **Market Review**: The 06 contract of egg futures closed down with fluctuations, at 2942 yuan per 500 kilograms, a decrease of 70 yuan per 500 kilograms compared to the previous week [6]. - **Market Outlook**: Feed raw material price increase supports cost, but supply is sufficient and downstream demand is weakening, causing the spot price to decline and the futures market to follow suit with increased volatility [6]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Short - term wait - and - see [6]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Market - **Futures Price and Position**: The 06 contract of egg futures closed down with fluctuations. The position was 118,678 lots, a decrease of 50,406 lots compared to the previous week.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The steel market is expected to be volatile. The price of rebar futures is likely to oscillate, and the iron ore 09 contract is expected to fluctuate weakly. The coking coal and coke markets may also show a weak and volatile pattern [1][3][4][5]. Summary According to Related Catalogs Rebar - On Tuesday, the rebar futures price was weak. The price of Hangzhou Zhongtian rebar was 3230 yuan/ton, a decrease of 10 yuan/ton from the previous day, and the basis of the 05 contract was 185 (+5) [1]. - Macroscopically, Trump said he would "significantly reduce" high - tariffs on China on April 22, but China emphasized that no economic and trade negotiations had been carried out. The Politburo meeting on April 25 showed no strong stimulus signals [1]. - Industrially, the apparent demand for rebar declined, production remained stable, and the inventory removal speed was still fast. Steel demand usually declines seasonally in mid - to late May, and the peak season window in the first half of the year is short. There was speculation about steel mill production restrictions last Friday, but no official document has been issued yet [1]. - In terms of valuation, the rebar futures price has fallen to near the valley - electricity cost of electric furnaces, only higher than the long - process cost, and the static valuation is at a relatively low level. In terms of driving factors, the China - US tariff policy is expected to have repeated games, and the probability of large - scale stimulus policies in China in the short term is small. The real supply and demand are acceptable, but tariffs affect exports and demand is expected to decline seasonally. The price is expected to oscillate, and attention should be paid to whether the production restriction policy is implemented [1]. Iron Ore - On Monday, the iron ore futures market oscillated. Trump's statement about possible tariff reduction eased international trade tensions. The pig iron output increased unexpectedly, leading to expectations of a peak and subsequent decline. There were also concerns about the sustainability of exports [1]. - In terms of supply, global shipments were basically the same as last week, with an increase in Australian shipments and a decrease in Brazilian shipments. The port throughput decreased, some berthing pressure was released, and the port inventory increased [1]. - In terms of demand, pig iron output increased significantly, and the daily consumption of imported ore increased. Steel mills' resumption of production accelerated this week, finished product prices were stable, and steel mills' production enthusiasm increased. There were rumors of crude steel production restrictions last weekend, but no specific policy documents were seen. Even if true, the 50 million - ton production restriction is small compared to the total, and it is difficult to form a positive feedback. The iron ore market is in a stage of strong supply and demand but is about to enter the traditional off - season. Considering the possible peak of pig iron output and continued international trade frictions, the iron ore 09 contract is expected to fluctuate weakly, and attention should be paid to the 720 pressure level [1][3]. Coking Coal - In terms of supply, coal mines in major producing areas maintained stable production. Some coal types adjusted their quotes slightly due to inventory pressure, but the overall inventory pressure was controllable, and mainstream coal mines were reluctant to lower prices. Mongolian coal supply was limited due to low customs clearance at the Mongolian border and a sluggish auction market, and the support for port quotes weakened [4]. - In terms of demand, coking and steel enterprises maintained high operating rates, and rigid demand provided some support for coal prices. However, the slow repair of steel mill profits restricted the raw material replenishment space, and the market was skeptical about the sustainability of terminal demand. Downstream pre - holiday stocking enthusiasm was low, and the procurement rhythm of intermediate links slowed down significantly. The coking coal market may continue its weak and volatile pattern in the short term, and attention should be paid to the profit repair rhythm of coking and steel enterprises and the sustainability of high pig iron output [4]. Coke - In terms of supply, coke enterprises in major producing areas maintained normal production rhythms, and the overall capacity utilization rate remained stable [5]. - In terms of demand, the resumption of steel mill blast furnaces drove pig iron output to remain high, and the replenishment demand was released periodically. However, affected by the expected seasonal weakening of the terminal market, the procurement rhythm became more cautious. Some steel mills preferred stamp - charged coke with a higher cost - performance ratio, and the demand for top - charged coke was significantly differentiated. The market was skeptical about the external demand pressure in May and the resilience of steel demand, and steel mills' resistance to price increases of raw materials increased. The second - round price negotiation was deadlocked. The coke market is expected to oscillate in the short term supported by blast furnace rigid demand, but attention should be paid to the risk of terminal demand falling short of expectations and negative feedback in the industrial chain. Future attention should be paid to changes in blast furnace pig iron output and the digestion rhythm of steel mill raw material inventories [5]. Industrial and Economic News - On April 28, the National Development and Reform Commission plans to issue the list of all projects for the "Two - Key" construction and central budgetary investment in 2025 by the end of June and set up new policy - based financial instruments to solve the problem of insufficient project construction capital [6]. - The "Market Access Negative List (2025 Edition)" was released, with the number of items reduced from 117 to 106. It prohibits new production capacity of steel, coking, cement clinker, flat glass, electrolytic aluminum, alumina, and coal chemical industry in key areas [6]. - The Dalian Commodity Exchange adjusted measures for the 2025 Labor Day holiday. Starting from the settlement on April 29, the daily price limit for iron ore futures is 10% and the margin is 12%; for coke, the daily price limit is 9% and the margin remains unchanged; for coking coal, the daily price limit is 9% and the margin is 13% [6]. - As of the end of the first quarter of this year, the balance of personal housing loans was 38 trillion yuan, an increase of about 220 billion yuan, and a year - on - year increase of more than 200 billion yuan compared with the first quarter of last year [6]. - Trump signed an announcement on April 29 allowing a certain degree of compensation for automobile producers assembling cars in the US and importing auto parts. The compensation can offset part of the tariffs on auto parts, with a maximum of 3.75% of the retail price of the car in the first year and 2.5% in the second year. The 25% tariff on imported cars officially took effect on April 3, and the 25% tariff on key auto parts is planned to take effect on May 3 [6]. - The Dongguan Housing and Urban - Rural Development Bureau released a draft for soliciting opinions, encouraging new residential projects obtaining construction permits from May 1, 2025, to implement full - decoration. It also encourages the "sample - first" approach and a "menu - style" full - decoration model [6].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for MEG is neutral, with attention on Sino-US tariff negotiations and crude oil price fluctuations [9] Core Viewpoints - The EG basis is 22 yuan/ton (-35). This week, the price of ethylene glycol first rose and then fell. After Trump's softened stance on China's tariff policy, chemical products rebounded following crude oil. On Thursday, affected by the news that ethane tariffs might be exempted, the price of ethylene glycol further declined, and the basis weakened [4] - The overall operating load of ethylene glycol in mainland China is 68.47% (a 3.15% increase from the previous period), among which the operating load of ethylene glycol produced by oxalic acid catalytic hydrogenation (syngas) is 63.85% (a 13.99% increase from the previous period). The load of coal-based ethylene glycol has started to recover from a low level, and non-coal device overhauls have begun one after another, with the overall load increasing [4] - In terms of demand, the weaving load in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is 59% (-2%), the texturing load in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is 71% (-2%), the polyester operating rate is 93.6% (-0.2%), and the direct-spun filament load is 90.3% (-2.2%). The inventory days of POY are 25.0 days (-3.8), FDY are 30.6 days (-2.1), and DTY are 30.9 days (-1.1). The operating rate of staple fiber factories is 91.3% (+2.4%), and the equity inventory days of staple fiber factories are 15.5 days (+0.2); the operating rate of bottle chip factories is 81.2% (+1.9%) [5] - In terms of inventory, on Thursday this week, the East China EG port inventory was 68.8 tons (-1.9). The visible inventory increased slightly compared to Monday and decreased slightly compared to last Thursday, with the overall inventory remaining stable. The current port inventory has returned to the seasonal median level in the past five years. Although there was inventory reduction in April, the hidden inventory is still relatively high, and it will take time for the market to digest it. It is difficult to see a significant decline in port inventory in the short term [6] Summary by Related Catalogs Strategy Summary - Trump's softened stance on China's tariff policy may lead to the exemption of subsequent ethane import tariffs. On the supply side, attention should be paid to the actual progress of ethane-based plants and the adjustment of imported supplies. On the demand side, the short-term polyester load remains high and stable, but direct textile and clothing orders to the US are still on hold. The expectation of polyester production cuts suppresses market sentiment. Attention should be paid to the holiday situation of weaving factories around May Day and the progress of subsequent Sino-US negotiations. Overall, the current EG inventory is at the seasonal median level in the past five years, and the hidden inventory of polyester factories is still relatively high, providing a certain buffer. The actual change in port inventory is limited, and the fundamental contradictions of EG are not significant. Attention should be paid to macro dynamics [3] EG Basis Structure - The EG basis is 22 yuan/ton (-35). This week, the price of ethylene glycol first rose and then fell. After Trump's softened stance on China's tariff policy, chemical products rebounded following crude oil. On Thursday, affected by the news that ethane tariffs might be exempted, the price of ethylene glycol further declined, and the basis weakened [4] EG Production Profit and Operating Rate - The overall operating load of ethylene glycol in mainland China is 68.47% (a 3.15% increase from the previous period), among which the operating load of ethylene glycol produced by oxalic acid catalytic hydrogenation (syngas) is 63.85% (a 13.99% increase from the previous period). The load of coal-based ethylene glycol has started to recover from a low level, and non-coal device overhauls have begun one after another, with the overall load increasing [4] EG Import Profit & International Price Difference - No specific content is provided in the text regarding EG import profit and international price difference Downstream Polyester Situation - In terms of demand, the weaving load in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is 59% (-2%), the texturing load in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is 71% (-2%), the polyester operating rate is 93.6% (-0.2%), and the direct-spun filament load is 90.3% (-2.2%). The inventory days of POY are 25.0 days (-3.8), FDY are 30.6 days (-2.1), and DTY are 30.9 days (-1.1). The operating rate of staple fiber factories is 91.3% (+2.4%), and the equity inventory days of staple fiber factories are 15.5 days (+0.2); the operating rate of bottle chip factories is 81.2% (+1.9%) [5] EG Inventory Trend - On Thursday this week, the East China EG port inventory was 68.8 tons (-1.9). The visible inventory increased slightly compared to Monday and decreased slightly compared to last Thursday, with the overall inventory remaining stable. The current port inventory has returned to the seasonal median level in the past five years. Although there was inventory reduction in April, the hidden inventory is still relatively high, and it will take time for the market to digest it. It is difficult to see a significant decline in port inventory in the short term [6]

集运指数(欧线):低位震荡,10-12反套轻仓持有
Guo Tai Jun An Qi Huo· 2025-04-21 02:03
Report Title - The report focuses on the Container Shipping Index (European Line), with a title of "Container Shipping Index (European Line): Low-level Fluctuation, Hold 10 - 12 Inverse Spread Positions Lightly" [1] Core Viewpoints - The 2606 contract may be traded based on the spot freight rate trend in May, currently in a stage of weak reality (shipping companies cut prices to stock up at the end of April and failed to raise prices in early May) and weak expectations (no easing of Sino-US tariffs), and may fluctuate at a low level on a weekly basis. Attention should be paid to whether shipping companies can establish continuous rolling in the case of many blank sailings in early May to build momentum for price increases in late May. If the cargo collection is poor in early May, the increase in capacity in late May may lead to greater cargo collection pressure. The 2508 contract mainly reflects the expected trading of changes in Sino-US tariff policies. There are significant differences in the 2510 contract. Some long funds believe that the US inventory replenishment may last until October, which may require transferring ships from the European line, benefiting the European line. However, it is considered that September - October is the off - season of the European line, and shipping companies need to suspend sailings to slow down the decline of freight rates.
