1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Yesterday, the overall atmosphere in the commodity market was strong, with the prices of finished steel products fluctuating upwards. In the medium - to - long - term, the steel price trend remains unchanged under the loosening macro - environment, but in the short - term, the weak real demand for steel is difficult to improve significantly. Attention should be paid to the policy strength and direction around the Fourth Plenary Session [2]. - The price of iron ore is expected to fluctuate weakly, and attention should be paid to the support level of 760 - 765 yuan/ton [5]. - For the black sector, it is more cost - effective to look for callback positions to do long rather than short. The market may first decline and then rise with the "Fourth Plenary Session" expectation [11]. - Manganese silicon and ferrosilicon are likely to follow the black sector's market, with low operation cost - effectiveness [12]. - The price of industrial silicon may rise in the long - term, and it may rise again if there are supply - side disturbances or policy drivers after the macro - risk is digested [15]. - The price of polysilicon rebounds under policy expectations, but the high price's sustainability depends on whether the policy can be implemented, and attention should be paid to risk control [17]. - The glass market lacks positive support and the sentiment is cautiously bearish [20]. - The soda ash market is expected to remain weakly operating in the short - term [22]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Market Information - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3049 yuan/ton, up 15 yuan/ton (0.494%) from the previous trading day.

Hot - rolled coil production continued to decline, post - holiday demand increased, but inventory was still high, and the spread between hot - rolled coils and rebar continued to narrow [2]. - Trump's new tariff remarks affected market sentiment, but the medium - to - long - term steel price trend remained unchanged. In the short - term, the weak demand pattern was difficult to improve, and attention should be paid to policies around the Fourth Plenary Session [2]. Iron Ore Market Information - The main contract (I2601) of iron ore closed at 773.50 yuan/ton, with a change of - 0.39% (- 3.00). The position increased by 27213 hands to 53.56 million hands.
