The upside is limited, and it may be range - bound at a low level due to potential inventory accumulation and falling oil prices [14]. - **PX**: The PX price was stable, and the previous positive factors were mostly priced in. The PXN spread decreased slightly, and it is expected to be range - bound, waiting for changes in PTA devices [14]. - **PTA**: Downstream开工率 remained at 91.4%, with limited terminal demand recovery. PTA processing fees were squeezed, and it is expected to be range - bound in the short term [15]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: It remained stable and volatile, but downstream demand was weak. With potential new device production and limited export orders, it is expected to be weakly volatile [15]. - **Short - Fiber**: It followed the polyester sector and rebounded slightly. Terminal orders increased seasonally, but the upside is limited [15]. - **Methanol**: The port price declined, and the inventory increased. Although the fundamentals improved marginally, it is expected to be weakly volatile in the short term [15]. - **PP**: The market price declined. Production decreased due to maintenance, and downstream demand improved, but supply remained abundant. It is expected to be weakly volatile in the short term [16]. Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The CBOT November soybean contract declined. US soybean export sales were better than expected, but crop ratings were falling, and the final yield estimate may be adjusted downward. The market maintains a cautious optimistic attitude [17]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The domestic short - term supply - demand surplus situation remains unchanged. It is expected that the supply - demand situation will improve in late September and October, and the price center of gravity may rise [18]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: The CBOT November soybean oil contract declined. Domestic soybean crushing is high, and soybean oil supply is sufficient. Canola oil inventories are decreasing, and the market sentiment is strong during the seasonal sales peak [18]. - **Palm Oil**: The decline of Chicago soybean oil and international crude oil futures will drag down the Malaysian palm oil market. Domestic demand is weakening, and inventories are increasing. Although there are concerns about production in Malaysia, the upside is limited [19]. - **Corn**: The prices in the northern ports and Northeast production areas rebounded slightly, while the prices of new corn in North China continued to decline but at a slower pace. New grain is expected to be listed in large quantities from mid - October to November, with a downward price expectation. The futures contract has strong support [19]. - **Hogs**: Pig prices reached a new low this year. Supply is abundant, and demand is stable. The rebound space in late September is limited [20].

Group 1 - The Federal Reserve has officially initiated a rate-cutting cycle by lowering the benchmark interest rate from 4.25% to 4%, with a potential for three total cuts this year [1] - The latest dot plot indicates that most committee members expect two more 25 basis point cuts in the remaining meetings of the year, suggesting a long-term downward trend in interest rates [3] - Market expectations show a high probability of rate cuts, with an 87.7% chance of a 25 basis point cut in October and an 81.6% chance of cumulative cuts of 50 basis points by December [5] Group 2 - Fed Chair Powell emphasized a gradual approach to rate cuts, indicating a balance between employment and inflation risks, with an expected unemployment rate of 4.5% and a PCE inflation rate of 3% this year [6] - Continuous rate cuts may lead to rapid capital outflows from the U.S., putting pressure on the historically high U.S. stock indices, which could prompt the U.S. to implement measures to slow down this outflow [8] - The decline in interest rates reduces the cost of holding gold, coupled with increased demand for safe-haven assets, suggesting a strong long-term outlook for gold prices, potentially reaching $4,000 [8]
