1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Views of the Report - For the soybean market, it is currently in the transition period between old and new soybeans, with the spot market operating steadily. Future focus should be on the listing rhythm of new soybeans and changes in downstream actual demand [2]. - For soybeans in the international market, according to the September USDA monthly report, although the yield per unit decreased, the planting area increased, leading to a slight increase in production to 4.301 billion bushels. The end - of - season inventory increased to 300 million bushels due to changes in demand. Market expectations for an effective procurement agreement from the Sino - US talks are low, and if the talks fail, US soybean exports will face further decline and demand pressure [2][3]. - For the domestic soybean meal market, downstream demand is weak, feed enterprise inventory is low, and oil mill inventory is accumulating. Recent policies also limit the feed demand for soybean meal, suppressing its price [3]. - For the domestic soybean oil market, due to sufficient soybean arrivals and high oil mill operating rates, supply is abundant. Although there is some increase in demand from schools and canteens, overall downstream inventory and supply enthusiasm are general, and inventory accumulation restricts prices [3]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View During the week from September 8 to September 12, 2025, the ferromanganese silicon market first showed a strong - side oscillation driven by anti - involution information and then shifted to a wide - range oscillation due to emotional disturbances. The overall long - short game was intense. The price of the futures main contract fluctuated within a controllable range, the spot quotes were regionally differentiated with local adjustments, the steel tender procurement volume increased or decreased, but the pricing was under pressure. The cost - side manganese ore quotes were mixed, and the total inventory slightly increased. The game between supply - demand and cost made the market lack a clear unilateral direction. In the short term, the market may maintain a wide - range oscillation pattern, and attention should be paid to subsequent steel tender pricing and actual manganese ore transaction situations [2]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures Market - **Contract Price**: The price of the ferromanganese silicon main contract 2601 oscillated during the week, adjusting in the range of 5750 - 5900 yuan/ton, with a relatively stable price center of gravity and a phased balance of power between long and short sides [3]. - **Variety Market**: Affected by market sentiment and supply - demand, the ferromanganese silicon variety showed an oscillation pattern of "strong first and then stable". The table shows the detailed market data of different contracts, including opening, high, low, closing prices, price changes, positions, trading volumes, and turnovers [6]. - **Related Market**: The overall trading activity of the ferromanganese silicon options market was average. The implied volatility fluctuated in a narrow range, and the long - short positions in the options market were basically balanced, indicating that the market had little long - short divergence and investors preferred risk - hedging operations [8]. 3.2 Spot Market - **Spot Market**: The domestic ferromanganese silicon spot quotes showed regional differentiation, and some areas adjusted prices. The initial replenishment operations at the beginning of the week decreased as market sentiment became more volatile, and the overall trading atmosphere cooled [9]. - **Basis Data**: The basis between futures and spot prices was in a reasonable range, with the spot price at a premium of 104 - 204 yuan/ton over the futures price of the 2601 contract. The basis fluctuated slightly during the week [10]. - **Registered Warehouse Receipts**: The number of ferromanganese silicon registered warehouse receipts remained in the range of 65,000 - 67,000 tons as of September 12, basically the same as last week [13]. 3.3 Influencing Factors - **Industry Information**: On the supply side, China's imports of manganese ore from Brazil decreased significantly, but the current domestic manganese ore inventory was still high, so the short - term impact was limited. On the demand side, the downstream steel mills' procurement volume varied, and their price - pressing intention was strong. On the cost side, international manganese ore suppliers' quotes were mixed [13]. - **Technical Analysis**: The moving average system of the 2601 main contract did not form a clear long or short arrangement, and the MACD indicator showed that the long - short forces were balanced, lacking the power to drive significant price fluctuations [14]. 3.4 Market Outlook In the short term, the ferromanganese silicon market may continue the wide - range oscillation pattern. In the long term, its market trend depends on the recovery of downstream steel demand and the supply and price of upstream manganese ore. There are still many uncertainties in the long - term market, and key data on both supply and demand sides need to be closely tracked [17][18].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The recent LPG futures market has shown a volatile and upward - trending pattern, with a recent pullback in line with expectations. The spot market is relatively stable, with prices fluctuating both up and down, and the trading atmosphere is favorable. The downstream mainly purchases according to demand. The global oversupply situation remains unchanged, and the medium - to - long - term outlook for LPG is still weak. As the LPG procurement cost rebounds, PDH profit has shrunk again, and the plant operating rate has dropped to around 70%, indicating resistance in the market. Without unexpected macro or supply - disruption events, the price increase space may be limited [1]. - For trading strategies, the unilateral strategy suggests a volatile and upward - trending market. Traders should look for opportunities to go long on the PG main contract at low prices, and existing long positions can be appropriately liquidated at high prices. There are no specific strategies for inter - period, inter - commodity, spot - futures, and options trading [2]. 3.
