1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the medium to long term, speculative demand has significantly declined due to market sentiment. Although some steel mills have received oral production - restriction notices, the supply of rebar is expected to be less affected. Rebar demand will be significantly suppressed, and short - term prices are under pressure. Iron ore demand has some resilience, but supply is growing faster than demand, so there is a risk of correction. The supply - demand fundamentals of float glass and soda ash are weakening [64][68]. - In the short term, the main contracts of the black series are oscillating weakly. It is recommended to conduct band trading. The main contracts of glass and soda ash lack upward drivers in the short term and are waiting for the start of the demand side [65][69]. 3.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core View of the Report The rubber market shows a volatile performance. As the commodity market approaches the September delivery, it returns to the fundamental logic. The previous "anti - involution" trading expectation has cooled down, leading to weak commodity sentiment. Rubber may follow a volatile and weak trend.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - The production of domestic cis - butadiene rubber has increased due to the restart of previously - shut - down devices, and the supply is expected to rise significantly.

Some semi - steel tire enterprises' maintenance plans dragged down the overall capacity utilization rate, while the resumption of work of all - steel tire maintenance sample enterprises drove up the capacity utilization rate. Although there is still room for a slight increase in capacity utilization rate, the general order performance and enterprise production control will limit the increase. The br2510 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 11,600 - 12,000 yuan/ton in the short term [2]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Cost supports the offer price of cis - butadiene rubber, but with the restart of some devices, domestic supply may increase significantly. Downstream procurement may be cautious, and the finished - product inventory level is expected to rise. The br2510 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 11,700 - 12,200 yuan/ton in the short term [2]. - Last week, the domestic tire capacity utilization rate fluctuated slightly. Some semi - steel tire enterprises' maintenance dragged down the overall capacity utilization rate, while the resumption of work of all - steel tire maintenance enterprises drove up the capacity utilization rate. There is still room for a slight increase in capacity utilization, but the general order performance will limit the increase [2]. 3.
