Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Methanol**: High imports are being realized, inventory accumulation has begun, and the futures price is undervalued. It is currently in a period of negative factors being realized. With unstable macro - environment and weak methanol prices in Europe and the US, the unilateral direction is hard to determine. Given the low valuation, it is advisable to consider buying at low prices [1]. - **Plastic (Polyethylene)**: The overall inventory of polyethylene is neutral. The 09 basis is around 0 in North China and +120 in East China. Import profits are around - 400 with no further increase for now. The domestic linear production has increased month - on - month in June. Attention should be paid to the LL - HD conversion and new device commissioning [2]. - **PP (Polypropylene)**: The upstream and middle - stream inventories of polypropylene are decreasing. The basis is +100, non - standard price differences are neutral, and import profit is around - 500. Exports have been good this year. The supply in June is expected to increase slightly month - on - month. The 09 contract is expected to face moderate to excessive supply pressure, which can be alleviated if exports continue to grow or PDH device maintenance increases [2]. - **PVC**: The basis remains at 09 - 150, and the downstream start - up rate is seasonally weak. The inventory reduction of the middle and upstream has slowed down. Attention should be paid to production commissioning and export sustainability from July to August. The current static inventory contradiction is accumulating slowly, costs are stable, and the downstream performance is mediocre [2]. 3. Summary by Product Methanol - **Price Data**: From July 11 to July 17, 2025, the power coal futures price remained at 801. The daily changes of other prices were generally small, with the most significant being a 3 - unit increase in Jiangsu spot price and a 5 - unit decrease in South China spot price.

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The lithium mining, lithium salt, and battery cell markets are under significant inventory pressure, and the de - stocking process is slow. The medium - to - long - term supply - demand imbalance has not been substantially alleviated [3]. - There are two short - term logics in the market. In the price decline cycle, there is a negative feedback loop of "lithium salt price drop - mining price loosening - lithium salt price drop again". When the futures rebound, a "futures rise - capacity release - increased ore consumption - mining price increase" chain is formed, but it will return to the oversupply fundamentals under weak demand [3]. - The futures market in the second half of the year is expected to be divided into two stages: the futures price will oscillate upward at the beginning of the third quarter due to improved macro - sentiment, supply disturbances, and better - than - expected off - season performance; it will oscillate downward in the fourth quarter due to the end of technical upgrades and increased production [3]. - Strategy suggestions: Pay attention to the long - short spread trading opportunity between LC2509 and LC2511; look for opportunities to short LC2511 at high prices [3]. 3. Summary by Directory Futures Data - **Price Range Forecast**: The price of the lithium carbonate futures main contract is expected to oscillate between 63,000 - 70,000 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 21.5% and a historical percentile of 28.1% over three years [2]. - **Contract Price and Volume Changes**: The closing price of the lithium carbonate main contract is 67,960 yuan/ton, up 1,540 yuan (2.32%) from the previous day and 3,780 yuan (5.89%) from the previous week. The trading volume is 826,939 lots, up 348,825 lots (72.96%) from the previous day and 428,917 lots (107.76%) from the previous week.

The average price of low - end energy - storage type lithium iron phosphate is 27,660 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day [25].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For the steel industry, on July 15, 2025, the steel market showed a relatively strong trend. The weekly data indicated that the apparent demand was in a seasonal decline, production followed the decline in demand, and inventory remained stable. In the second half of the year, demand is likely to decline, and the supply remains abundant, lacking strong price - driving forces. Currently, the low inventory and improved market sentiment support valuation - repair trading, but the actual demand has limited upward potential. The next macro - observation window is the Politburo meeting at the end of July. For operation, observe whether the current prices of rebar at 3100 and hot - rolled coils at 3300 can be effectively broken through, and if so, focus on the next pressure levels of 3220 (rebar) and 3350 (hot - rolled coils) [1]. - For the iron ore industry, on July 14, 2025, the iron ore 09 contract showed an oscillating upward trend. Last week, the global iron ore shipment volume decreased, but the arrival volume at 45 ports increased. The demand side was affected by steel mill maintenance and Tangshan's production restrictions, with molten iron production declining from its peak. Currently, steel exports remain strong, and short - term molten iron shows resilience. In the future, molten iron production in July is expected to continue to decline, and steel mill profits will improve. Short - term iron ore is expected to oscillate strongly. It is recommended to buy on dips for the iron ore 2509 contract and conduct 9 - 1 positive arbitrage [4]. - For the coke industry, on July 14, 2025, the coke futures oscillated strongly, and the spot market was stable with a slight upward trend. After the fourth round of price cuts on June 23, a phased bottom was formed, and market expectations improved. Mainstream coking enterprises plan to initiate the first - round price increase, which is expected to be implemented later. The supply side may face difficulties in increasing production due to enterprise losses, and the demand side is affected by environmental protection restrictions in Tangshan, with molten iron production reaching a peak and starting to decline. The inventory is at a medium level, and downstream steel mills' active restocking demand is beneficial for future price increases. It is recommended to conduct hedging for the coke 2601 contract on rallies, buy on dips for the coke 2509 contract, and conduct 9 - 1 positive arbitrage [6]. - For the coking coal industry, on July 14, 2025, the coking coal futures oscillated strongly, and the spot price was stable with a slight increase. The domestic coking coal auction market recovered, and the overall coal mine production recovered slowly, remaining in short supply. Imported coal showed different trends, with Mongolian coal prices rebounding slightly and seaborne coal prices rising. The demand side saw a slight decline in coking and blast furnace operations, but the downstream restocking intensity increased. The inventory is at a medium level. It is recommended to buy on dips for the coking coal 2509 contract and conduct 9 - 1 positive arbitrage [6].
