Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints - The asphalt market is expected to fluctuate. The supply is likely to increase with some refineries planning to resume production, while the demand will gradually weaken. The crude oil price is also oscillating, and the asphalt futures price is showing a weak downward trend [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - Last week, the asphalt operating rate decreased by 1.8 percentage points to 31.5% week-on-week, 3.5 percentage points higher than the same period last year, at a relatively low level in recent years. In November, the domestic asphalt production is expected to be 2.228 million tons, a decrease of 454,000 tons (16.9%) month-on-month and 274,000 tons (11.0%) year-on-year [1]. - Last week, most of the downstream industries' operating rates increased, with the road asphalt operating rate rising by 1 percentage point to 34% week-on-week, slightly exceeding the same period last year, but restricted by funds and weather [1]. - In the East China region, the supply and shipments decreased significantly last week. The national shipments decreased by 6.79% to 308,800 tons week-on-week, at a neutral level [1]. - The inventory-to-sales ratio of asphalt refineries continued to decline slightly, remaining at the lowest level in recent years. Some refineries such as Sinochem Quanzhou and Jincheng Petrochemical plan to resume production, which will increase asphalt production [1]. - The market has digested the news of Russian oil sanctions. The meeting between Chinese and US leaders basically met market expectations, and the relationship between the two countries has not changed fundamentally. OPEC+ decided to increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in December but suspend production increase in the first quarter of next year. The crude oil price is oscillating [1]. - The concentrated release of long-term low-price resources from refineries has led to a significant decline in the asphalt basis in Shandong recently, which is currently at a neutral level. The spot price has continued to decline, and the asphalt futures price has shown a weak downward trend [1]. Futures and Spot Market - Today, the asphalt futures contract 2601 rose 0.56% to 3,050 yuan/ton, below the 5-day moving average, with a minimum price of 3,015 yuan/ton and a maximum price of 3,064 yuan/ton. The open interest decreased by 14,840 to 193,828 lots [2]. - The mainstream market price in Shandong remained at 3,010 yuan/ton, and the basis of the asphalt 01 contract fell to -40 yuan/ton, at a neutral level [3].

The cumulative year-on-year growth rate slightly rebounded compared with January - August 2025 but remained negative. The fixed - asset investment in road transportation from January to September 2025 decreased by 2.7% year-on-year, slightly rebounding from -3.3% in January - August 2025 but still in a negative growth situation.

In September, the new social financing reached 3.53 trillion yuan, but year-on-year it was 233.5 billion yuan less due to the high base. Attention should be paid to the progress of forming physical work volume [4]. - As of the week of November 7, the inventory-to-sales ratio of asphalt refineries decreased by 1.2 percentage points to 14.1% compared with the week of October 31, remaining at the lowest level in recent years [4].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the steel sector in the black building materials is "volatile" [1] Core Viewpoint - The supply and demand of steel coils are both weak, and the price is expected to show a volatile trend. The 3000 level of rebar still has strong resilience. It is recommended to continue holding the long positions initiated around 3000, and stop loss if it effectively breaks below 3000 [1] Summary by Relevant Catalog Market Review - Rebar and hot-rolled coils closed higher on Monday and continued to rise in the night session [1] Important Information - Starting from November 10th, affected by adverse meteorological conditions, many places in Henan may experience continuous moderate pollution weather processes, and several cities have launched orange warnings for heavy pollution weather [1] - The US Trade Representative's Office announced that it will suspend the 301 investigation and restrictive measures on China's maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding industries starting from November 10th [1] - Baowu Steel's ex-factory prices in December will remain the same as in November. The estimated tax-excluded base prices for December are 4535 yuan/ton for hot-rolled Q235B, 8431 yuan/ton for cold-rolled DC01, and 9147 yuan/ton for hot-dip galvanized DC51D+Z [1] - The US Senate passed a temporary appropriation bill to end the government "shutdown" on November 9th, local time. The bill will provide funds for the government until January 30, 2026. The government shutdown may end before this weekend [1] - According to the data from the Passenger Car Association, the retail sales of the national passenger car market in October were 2.242 million vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 0.8%. From January to October, the cumulative retail sales of the national passenger car market were 19.25 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 7.9%. The retail sales of the new energy passenger car market in October were 1.282 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 7.3% and a month-on-month decrease of 1.3%. From January to October, the cumulative retail sales were 10.151 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 21.9% [1] Market Logic - On Monday, most steel coil prices remained flat, with a few declining, and the trading volume was average. During the macro policy vacuum period, the trend of steel coils depends on the fundamentals. Last week, the production of steel coils decreased. The rebar inventory decreased, and the de-stocking speed is expected to slow down as the peak season turns to the off-season. The hot-rolled coil inventory increased, showing poor inventory performance. The apparent demand for both rebar and hot-rolled coils decreased. The demand for rebar is expected to weaken further, while the demand for hot-rolled coils may not change much in the short term. On the supply side, some blast furnaces were shut down for maintenance last week, and the capacity utilization rate of electric arc furnaces decreased. This week, many places in Hebei lifted the emergency response for heavy pollution weather, and attention should be paid to the resumption of blast furnace production. Overall, the supply of crude steel is in a downward trend, and the demand side in the off-season is still relatively weak [1] Trading Strategy - It is recommended to continue holding the long positions of rebar initiated around 3000 and stop loss if it effectively breaks below 3000 [1]

橡胶周报:需求弱势拖累胶价-20251109
Hua Lian Qi Huo· 2025-11-09 10:54
Report Information - Report Title: "Hualian Futures Rubber Weekly - Weak Demand Drags Down Rubber Prices" [2] - Date: 20251109 [2] - Analyst: Li Zhaofeng [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints - The real estate market continues to decline and needs to stabilize. The Fed's potential interest - rate cuts are favorable for the capital market, but the spill - over effects of a potential US recession should be watched out for [4]. - The long - term supply cycle is shifting, which boosts valuation, but supply is elastic. The current year's natural rubber production areas have better weather conditions than last year, and the supply is expected to be stable, with a projected 0.5% increase in global production and a 10% increase in China's imports [4]. - The exchange's ru warehouse receipts are at a ten - year low, and nr warehouse receipts were once at an extremely low level. Qingdao's dry rubber inventory has recently increased due to concentrated shipping schedules, and there is an expectation of further inventory build - up in the future. The inventory of butadiene rubber is relatively high [4]. - Demand has been over - drawn by export rush and replacement demand. The real estate market shows no signs of improvement, and new vehicle and export demand are also weakening. Without strong policy support or inflation, demand will likely drag down the market [4]. - The recommended strategy is to go long on ru and short on nr, and to pay attention to the supply volume during the peak production season [4]. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Price - Natural rubber spot prices have weakened, with only a limited rebound from the previous low and still at a low level. Synthetic rubber prices have hit a new low for the year, deviating from the trends of natural rubber and crude oil [6]. - The ru basis is at a multi - year high, and the monthly spread has strengthened but remains in a contango structure, which is unfavorable for long positions [12]. - The ru 1 - 9 monthly spread has weakened to - 125 but is still stronger than last year. The nr consecutive 1 - consecutive 3 monthly spread is around - 35 and has weakened. The br consecutive 1 - consecutive 3 monthly spread is around 75 and has limited rebound momentum [17]. - The spread between spot whole latex and 20 - grade rubber has rebounded slightly from a low level, and synthetic rubber Br has weakened significantly compared to natural rubber [22]. Raw Material Prices - Thai raw material prices have stabilized marginally, and the weak spread between glue and cup lump suggests stable supply. Currently, the global market is in the peak production season with slightly more rainfall [27]. - Domestic raw material prices show that the absolute price of old whole latex has returned to the key range before last year's rally but is still at a medium level in recent years, and production incentives are still acceptable [10]. Processing Profits - Recent processing profits have declined again [32]. Inventory - Qingdao's dry rubber inventory increased in the latest week mainly due to concentrated shipping schedules. The overall current inventory is not high, but there is an expectation of further inventory build - up in the future. The inventory of butadiene rubber is relatively high [37]. - The exchange's ru warehouse receipts are at a ten - year low, and nr warehouse receipts were once at an extremely low level. The nr warehouse receipts dropped rapidly from a multi - year high in the third quarter of last year and are still at a multi - year low [47][53]. - The synthetic rubber inventory is neutral. The in - factory inventory of butadiene rubber rebounded after reaching a two - year low, and the trader inventory dropped to a low level [56]. - The inventory of all - steel tires and semi - steel tires has decreased marginally [59]. Supply Side - According to ANRPC, the global natural rubber production in the first three quarters of this year is expected to increase by 2.3%, and consumption is expected to decrease by 1.5%. The global production is expected to increase by 0.5% to 14.95 million tons in 2025 [63][65]. - China's natural rubber production from January to December 2024 was 911,400 tons, a 10% increase from the previous 854,000 tons [68]. - In 2024, rubber imports were lower than in previous years due to factors such as EU eudr diversion, overseas inventory replenishment, and reduced arbitrage demand. From January to August 2025, China's cumulative imports of natural and synthetic rubber (including latex) reached 5.373 million tons, a 19% increase compared to the same period in 2024. In August 2025, imports were 664,000 tons, a 7.8% increase compared to the same period in 2024, but the growth rate has slowed down marginally [71]. - The large - cycle inflection point of supply - demand surplus has arrived, and the suppression of yield by production capacity has disappeared. The production capacity of natural rubber has reached an inflection point, providing a more solid bottom support, but production is affected by various factors such as weather, pests, and profit margins [81]. Demand Side - The operating rate of all - steel tires has remained stable and is at a medium level in recent years, while the operating rate of semi - steel tires is neutral [89]. - As of September 2025, the cumulative year - on - year increase in tire outer - tube production was about 1.5%, with a marginal slight decline and a significantly slower growth rate compared to last year. As of September, the cumulative year - on - year increase in tire export volume was about 5.4%, which is relatively good but also lower than last year [93]. - In September 2025, China's heavy - truck market sold about 105,000 vehicles (wholesale basis, including exports and new energy), a 15% increase from August and an 82% increase compared to the same period last year. The large - scale infrastructure projects are beneficial for the long - term demand for heavy - trucks [97]. - Domestic passenger - car sales have performed well due to policy incentives, domestic substitution, and overseas market expansion, but the marginal growth rate has shown signs of fatigue. Overseas automobile sales are generally weak, and trade protectionism may further affect the market [102]. - Overall overseas automobile sales are mediocre, and trade wars have disrupted the consumption rhythm [105]. - The real estate market data from January to September 2025 continued to deteriorate, dragging down the market. Given the long real - estate cycle and the unfavorable population situation, it will take time for the market to reverse [120]. - Road freight volume has been stable but is still lower than in 2019, reflecting a decline in demand and the substitution effect of railway and waterway transportation [124].
