1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The anti -内卷 trading in the soda ash and glass industries has entered an accelerated stage, with prices in a rapid upward phase due to industry self - regulation and supply - side policy details, but the industry may struggle to break free from the prisoner's dilemma without strong policy pressure [14][23] - For soda ash, the next large - scale maintenance is expected to start in September, with limited maintenance premiums and scale. The current market has not returned to the industrial logic. The market is experiencing a hoarding wave, and attention should be paid to the potential negative feedback from future price drops [7][10] - For glass, although the production and sales have improved recently, the actual demand is still in doubt. The deep - processing orders have not improved, and attention should be paid to the conversion of expectations into reality and the roll - over of futures contracts [20][23] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Soda Ash 3.1.1 Supply - This week, the soda ash output was 72.4 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 0.94 tons (-1.3%). The decrease was due to the maintenance of enterprises such as Xuzhou Fengcheng, Jiangsu Shilian, and Zhongyuan Chemical III. Gansu Jinchang is planned to have a one - month maintenance starting from July 26. The next large - scale maintenance is expected to start in September, with limited premiums and scale [7] - The theoretical profit of ammonia - soda process soda ash in China was -35 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 48.20 yuan/ton. The theoretical profit of dual - ton soda ash in the combined - soda process was 17.50 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 51 yuan/ton [7] 3.1.2 Demand - This week, the apparent demand for soda ash was 76.5 tons, a week - on - week increase of 10.7%. The apparent demand for heavy soda ash was 40.9 tons (a 12.3% increase), and for light soda ash was 35.6 tons (an 8.8% increase). The market hoarding wave continued, and the number of hoarding manufacturers gradually increased [10] 3.1.3 Inventory - Upstream: The soda ash factory inventory continued to accumulate, reaching 186.5 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 4.1 tons. Light soda ash was de - stocked by 4.1 tons, and heavy soda ash by 0.02 tons. Except for the northwest region, the shipment rates in other regions exceeded 100%, and the northwest region had an inventory increase of 5 tons [13] - Middle - stream: The middle - stream inventory showed a downward trend. The social inventory increased by 23.7% week - on - week to 30.5 tons, and there were 856 warehouse receipts [13] - Downstream: The soda ash inventory days of some sample float glass enterprises increased [13] 3.2 Glass 3.2.1 Supply - The daily melting volume of float glass was 15.9 tons, a week - on - week increase of 1,150 tons. One production line was shut down during the week. The weekly average profit of float glass using natural gas as fuel was -178.90 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 4.21 yuan/ton; using coal - made gas was 121.83 yuan/ton, an increase of 13.05 yuan/ton; using petroleum coke was -4.76 yuan/ton, an increase of 45.71 yuan/ton [17] - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment publicly solicited opinions on the "Technical Guidelines for Feasible Air Pollution Prevention and Control in the Glass Industry (Draft for Comment)", with stricter carbon emission management compared to 2018 [17][23] 3.2.2 Demand - This week, the production and sales of glass improved, with strong speculative demand and manufacturers' inventory reduction. However, the deep - processing orders did not improve. As of July 15, 2025, the average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises were 9.3 days, a week - on - week decrease of 2.1% and a year - on - year decrease of 7.0% [20] 3.2.3 Inventory - This week, the glass inventory decreased by 4.7% to 61.896 million heavy boxes. The replenishment willingness of the middle and downstream increased, but there was still pressure from locked - in inventory on the futures market, and the downstream's rigid demand digestion ability was limited [23] 3.3 Price and Market Data 3.3.1 Soda Ash - The spot and futures prices of soda ash both increased this week. For example, the price of Huazhong heavy - quality soda ash (delivered) increased from 1,200 yuan/ton last week to 1,300 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 8.33% [26] 3.3.2 Glass - The spot and futures prices of glass also rose.

Primary Market Review - The issuance scale of government bonds, local bonds, and policy financial bonds last week was 243.3 billion, 251.2 billion, and 162 billion respectively, with net financing amounts of 58.2 billion, 150.5 billion, and -65.4 billion [1] - The total issuance scale of non-financial credit bonds was 270.5 billion, with a net financing amount of 49 billion [1] Secondary Market Review - Interest rates experienced a downward fluctuation last week, influenced by factors such as the central bank's active fund injection, anti-involution trading, and the listing of science and technology innovation bond ETFs [2] Liquidity Tracking - The buyout reverse repurchase operations amounted to 1.4 trillion, with an OMO net injection of 130 million, indicating overall stable tax period funds, which eased after the tax period [3] Policy and Fundamentals - Q2 GDP grew by 5.2% year-on-year, with June industrial output increasing by 6.8% and retail sales by 4.8%. Cumulative fixed asset investment for the first half of the year rose by 2.8%. New loans in June reached 2.2 trillion, an increase of 110 billion year-on-year [4] Overseas Market - U.S. inflation in June was lower than expected, while retail sales remained strong, indicating that tariffs have a manageable impact on inflation. The S&P 500 rose by 0.6% over the week, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remained flat [5] Equity Market - The Wind All A index has risen for four consecutive weeks, with a weekly average trading volume exceeding 1.5 trillion. There are signs of capital flowing out of the consumer sector due to CPI data and underwhelming performance from some food and beverage stocks, while the TMT sector remains strong. As of July 17, 2025, the total financing balance for All A was 1,891.142 billion, an increase of 30.647 billion from July 10, marking nine consecutive trading days of net growth [6] Bond Market Strategy Outlook - The bond market has preliminarily priced in a weakening economy for Q3 and has reacted to anti-involution policies and a recovery in risk appetite. However, the performance of non-spread varieties indicates a cautious outlook on liquidity. Future uncertainties regarding U.S. tariff policies, domestic economic changes, and policy responses may lead to fluctuations in bond yields. The anti-involution policy is expected to boost commodity prices and risk appetite in the short term, but the central bank's clear support for liquidity during the tax period suggests a high likelihood of maintaining a loose monetary stance. The bond market is likely to remain in a volatile pattern, favoring the holding of coupon assets. Trading positions should remain flexible, focusing on policy expectations and liquidity changes. In the convertible bond market, the index is experiencing high-level fluctuations, with differentiation in bank themes and notable performance in anti-involution themes and the computing robot industry chain. Current price levels show increased volatility in convertible bonds across various price bands, with diminished asymmetric risk advantages. Given the ongoing supply-demand structure, reinvestment pressure remains significant amid a trend towards bubble formation, necessitating a focus on niche bonds and structural opportunities within the industry chain [7]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - For steel, the cost story of coal adds fuel to the market. After the gap of the black - series on Tomb - Sweeping Festival is filled, the volatility may increase. The market is mainly driven by futures market funds and sentiment. The base - spread still has opportunities, and the spot - futures positive arbitrage can be rolled. The iron - water output increase strengthens the expectation of improved supply - demand of furnace materials, resulting in a pattern of stronger furnace materials and weaker finished products, compressing the disk profit [2]. - For coking coal and coke, the second round of coke price increase has been implemented, and the market intends to expand the range of the third - round increase. The coking coal auction is still hot. The futures market is affected by the news of the National Energy Administration's coal - mine production verification. The subsequent trend has high uncertainty, and it is recommended to wait and see for now [2]. - For ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, the market is trading the supply reduction under the anti - involution logic. The verification of coal over - production by the National Energy Administration may support the cost of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, and they will continue to be strong, but the upward space needs to be further observed [2]. - For iron ore, although the market sentiment is boosted by the coal - mine production verification news, the iron ore faces increasing upward pressure. It is not recommended to chase the high. It is not advisable to short on the left - hand side. The steel - mill profit remains high, and the daily average iron - water output in July is expected to remain at a high level. Shorting can be considered when the demand fails to keep up during the peak - season demand verification [2]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Futures Market - On July 22, the closing prices of far - month contracts RB2601, HC2601, I2601, J2601, and JM2601 were 3367.00 yuan/ton, 3492.00 yuan/ton, 793.50 yuan/ton, 1752.00 yuan/ton, and 1137.00 yuan/ton respectively, with corresponding increases of 107.00 yuan, 96.00 yuan, 22.00 yuan, 129.00 yuan, and 112.50 yuan. The closing prices of the main contracts RB2510, HC2510, I2509, J2509, and JM2509 were 3307.00 yuan/ton, 3477.00 yuan/ton, 823.00 yuan/ton, 1697.50 yuan/ton, and 1048.50 yuan/ton respectively, with increases of 100.00 yuan, 96.00 yuan, 20.00 yuan, 125.50 yuan, and 77.50 yuan, and the corresponding increases were 3.12%, 2.84%, 2.49%, 7.98%, and 7.98% [1]. - The cross - month spreads such as RB2510 - 2601, HC2510 - 2601, I2509 - 2601, J2509 - 2601, and JM2509 - 2601 were - 60.00 yuan/ton, - 15.00 yuan/ton, 29.50 yuan/ton, - 88.50 yuan/ton, and - 88.50 yuan/ton respectively on July 22 [1]. Spot Market - On July 22, the spot prices of Shanghai thread steel, Tianjin thread steel, Guangzhou thread steel, and Tangshan billet were 3480.00 yuan/ton, 3510.00 yuan/ton, 3510.00 yuan/ton, and 250.00 yuan/ton respectively, with increases of 50.00 yuan, 50.00 yuan, 60.00 yuan, and 50.00 yuan. The spot prices of Shanghai hot - rolled coil, Hangzhou hot - rolled coil, and Guangzhou hot - rolled coil were 3480.00 yuan/ton, 3510.00 yuan/ton, and 3510.00 yuan/ton respectively, with increases of 50.00 yuan, 50.00 yuan, and 60.00 yuan [1]. - The base - spreads of HC main contract, RB main contract, I main contract, J main contract, and JM main contract were 3.00 yuan/ton, 73.00 yuan/ton, 7.00 yuan/ton, - 286.16 yuan/ton, and - 78.50 yuan/ton respectively on July 22 [1]. Industry Situation - In the steel industry, the iron - water output growth rate has expanded. Among the weekly five - material apparent demands, the building materials are weaker, while the plates can still achieve inventory reduction and month - on - month increase in apparent demand. The disk shows that the hot - rolled coil is slightly stronger than the thread steel, especially in the 10 - contract, which is related to the rapid increase in the thread - steel futures warehouse receipts [2]. - In the coking coal and coke industry, the second - round coke price increase has been implemented, and the market intends to expand the third - round increase. The coking coal auction is hot, and the coal price has risen rapidly. The coke basis is negative, and the port trade quasi - first - grade coke is quoted at 1380 yuan/ton (+40), and the Chen coking coal price index is 1070.8 (+21.1) [2]. - In the ferrosilicon and silicomanganese industry, the market is trading the supply reduction under the anti - involution logic. The verification of coal over - production by the National Energy Administration may support the cost of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, and they will continue to be strong, but the upward space needs to be further observed [2]. - In the iron - ore industry, although the market sentiment is boosted by the coal - mine production verification news, the iron ore faces increasing upward pressure. It is not recommended to chase the high. The steel - mill profit remains high, and the daily average iron - water output in July is expected to remain at a high level [2].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating Group 2: Core Views Steel - The rebound of ferrous metals since June was due to the production cut of coking coal caused by environmental inspections, the resilient demand during the off - season, and the low inventory. In July, the "anti - involution" trading improved market sentiment, and with the marginal improvement of industrial supply - demand and market sentiment, ferrous metals rose strongly. High - frequency data shows that off - season demand is resilient, steel mill production remains high, and raw material inventories are in a destocking trend. Later, the inventory may weaken if coking coal production recovers or steel demand declines. Macroscopically, under the expectation of supply - side contraction, the sentiment of commodity buying is positive. The resistance levels of rebar and hot - rolled coil at around 3100 and 3270 yuan have been removed, and the next pressure levels are 3250 and 3400 yuan [1] Iron Ore - Last week, the 09 contract of iron ore rose strongly. Fundamentally, the global shipment volume of iron ore decreased slightly, the arrival volume at 45 ports increased slightly, and the subsequent arrival volume is expected to decline slightly. On the demand side, after the lifting of production restrictions in Tangshan on July 15, the iron - making water output rebounded significantly, and the short - term resilience of molten iron is maintained. The terminal demand shows a strong performance in the off - season. In terms of inventory, port inventory increased slightly, and the inventory of steel mills' equity ore decreased rapidly. In the future, the molten iron output in July will remain high, and the steel mill profit will support raw materials. The short - term iron ore will fluctuate strongly. The strategy is to go long on the 2509 contract on dips and conduct a 9 - 1 positive spread arbitrage [4] Coke - Last week, the coke futures fluctuated upward, and the first - round spot price increase was implemented. The supply side saw some coal mines resuming production, but the output was difficult to increase due to losses. The demand side witnessed the end of environmental protection restrictions in Tangshan, the resumption of blast furnaces, and a significant increase in molten iron. The inventory of coking plants and ports decreased, while the steel mill inventory increased. Due to the low price, cost push and the downstream steel mills' active replenishment demand are conducive to the future price increase of coke. The strategy is to conduct hedging operations in the spot - futures market, go long on the 09 contract on dips, and conduct a 9 - 1 positive spread arbitrage [6] Coking Coal - Last week, the coking coal futures fluctuated upward, and the spot price generally increased. The supply side has an expectation of increased supply, but the overall production recovery is slow, and the market is in short supply. The import coal price has a slight rebound, and the inventory pressure has decreased. The demand side shows a slight increase in coking plant operation, a rapid increase in molten iron output, and an increase in the replenishment efforts of steel mills and coking plants. The inventory of coal mines is decreasing, and the downstream inventory is increasing. The strategy is to conduct hedging operations in the spot - futures market, go long on the 09 contract on dips, and conduct a 9 - 1 positive spread arbitrage [6] Group 3: Summaries According to Related Catalogs Steel Price and Spread - Rebar and hot - rolled coil prices in different regions and contracts generally increased. For example, the spot price of rebar in East China increased from 3200 to 3220 yuan/ton, and the 05 contract price increased from 3162 to 3196 yuan/ton [1] Cost and Profit - The billet price increased by 10 yuan/ton to 2960 yuan/ton, and the slab price remained unchanged at 3730 yuan/ton.

Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in alumina prices is attributed to factors such as the announcement of a national bauxite index in Guinea, seasonal impacts on bauxite shipments, and a low inventory of alumina warehouse stocks, leading to increased market sentiment and potential price support [2][3][4]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Alumina prices have rebounded significantly, reaching a one-and-a-half-month high, primarily driven by the "anti-involution trading" sentiment and low warehouse inventory levels [2][3]. - Guinea's rainy season is beginning to affect bauxite shipments, with weekly export volumes showing a slight decline, indicating potential supply constraints in the near future [4][5]. - The overall industry inventory remains low, with alumina warehouse stocks dropping to below 20,000 tons, which raises concerns about delivery shortages [3][4]. Group 2: Supply and Demand Outlook - The cost side, particularly from the mining sector, is expected to provide support for alumina prices as supply-demand dynamics shift from surplus to a potential deficit in the latter half of the year [5]. - Current domestic alumina production capacity exceeds 11 million tons, but operational capacity has slightly decreased due to routine maintenance, with a current operating rate of 79.97% [6]. - Future production increases are anticipated from new projects and restarts, with expectations of imported alumina arriving in July, contributing to overall supply growth [6]. Group 3: Price Projections - Short-term price increases for alumina are supported by positive mining expectations and low warehouse stocks, but there are still pressures from ongoing inventory accumulation and potential profit-taking from imports [7]. - The market sentiment suggests limited upward price movement due to global oversupply conditions, although the risk of significant price drops is also considered low due to the current market dynamics [7].
