1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Precious Metals**: Short - term, the gold price is bullish due to the increasing expectation of Fed rate cuts and concerns about its independence. The weak employment data in the US in August strengthens the easing expectation. In the long - term, the continuous gold purchases by global central banks, the de - dollarization trend, and geopolitical risks boost the currency attribute and safe - haven demand of gold. The precipitation funds in SHFE gold futures have exceeded 100 billion yuan, indicating strong market enthusiasm [3]. - **Copper**: In the short term, with a tight supply, the copper price faces obvious pressure at 79,000 yuan per ton, and the 20 - day moving average may provide support, with the price expected to stand firm at 80,000 yuan per ton [18]. - **Aluminum**: Macroeconomic factors such as the weak US non - farm payrolls in August, the almost certain Fed rate cut in September, and the improvement of domestic policies are positive for the aluminum price. Fundamentally, the increase in the aluminum - water ratio and the recovery of downstream demand in the peak season support the price. However, the late de - stocking node restricts the upward range of the aluminum price in the short term, and the SHFE aluminum is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger [37]. - **Zinc**: The supply side is in an oversupply state. The domestic zinc ore has a price advantage, and the overseas zinc ore supply is abundant. The demand for the "Golden September and Silver October" is generally expected, and the zinc price is expected to be volatile in the short term [68]. - **Nickel**: The production and shipment of nickel ore are stable, and the inventory at domestic ports is high. The new energy sector still provides support, and the supply is relatively tight. The price of nickel iron is also strong, and the stainless - steel market is in a volatile state. Attention should be paid to the impact of the US dollar index, rate - cut expectations, and the difficulty of stainless - steel exports [84]. - **Tin**: In the short term, the factors affecting the tin price are not obvious, and the technical level can be used for judgment. The price of 270,000 yuan per ton has certain support [99]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Although there is an optimistic short - term expectation for the resumption of production of the Jianxiaowo lithium mine, the peak - season demand in the "Golden September and Silver October" still provides effective support for the lithium carbonate price. The resumption of production cannot cover the current peak - season demand, and the supply - side disturbance does not change the fundamental support logic [111]. - **Silicon**: In the short term, the Inner Mongolia meeting has a positive impact on sentiment. In the long term, the industry faces structural pressure. The polysilicon market is affected by rumors and policy expectations, with high uncertainty in price trends. Investors are advised to be cautious [120]. 3. Summaries by Relevant Catalogs Precious Metals - **Price and Market Sentiment**: The US CPI in August increased by 2.9% year - on - year, and the initial jobless claims soared to 263,000, which strengthened the easing expectation. The precipitation funds in SHFE gold futures exceeded 100 billion yuan, with an increase of more than 17 billion yuan in a month [3]. Copper - **Price Forecast**: In the short term, the copper price has pressure at 79,000 yuan per ton and may be supported by the 20 - day moving average, with the expectation of reaching 80,000 yuan per ton [18]. - **Market Data**: The latest prices of Shanghai Non - ferrous 1 copper, Shanghai Wumaotrade, Guangdong Southern Reserve, and Yangtze Non - ferrous are 80,755 yuan/ton, 80,990 yuan/ton, 80,930 yuan/ton, and 81,080 yuan/ton respectively, with daily increases of 0.72%, 1.06%, 1.01%, and 1.01% [22]. Aluminum - **Macroeconomic Impact**: The weak US non - farm payrolls in August, the almost certain Fed rate cut in September, and the improvement of domestic policies are positive for the aluminum price [37]. - **Fundamental Situation**: The aluminum - water ratio has increased, and the downstream demand in the peak season is recovering, mainly in the industrial profile sector led by photovoltaics. The possible termination of the tax - refund policy for some recycled aluminum enterprises may reduce the supply of recycled aluminum and support the consumption of primary aluminum [37]. Zinc - **Supply and Demand**: The supply side is in an oversupply state, with abundant overseas zinc ore supply and high zinc ore imports. The demand for the "Golden September and Silver October" is generally expected, and the zinc price is expected to be volatile in the short term [68]. Nickel - **Industry Situation**: The production and shipment of nickel ore are stable, and the inventory at domestic ports is high. The new energy sector still provides support, and the supply is relatively tight. The price of nickel iron is strong, and the stainless - steel market is volatile [84]. Tin - **Price Judgment**: In the short term, the technical level can be used to judge the tin price, and the price of 270,000 yuan per ton has certain support [99]. Lithium Carbonate - **Market Logic**: The peak - season demand in the "Golden September and Silver October" provides effective support for the lithium carbonate price. The resumption of production of the Jianxiaowo lithium mine cannot cover the current peak - season demand, and the supply - side disturbance does not change the fundamental support logic [111]. Silicon - **Industry Outlook**: In the short term, the Inner Mongolia meeting has a positive impact on sentiment. In the long term, the industry faces structural pressure, and the polysilicon market is affected by rumors and policy expectations, with high uncertainty [120].

Group 1: Gold Futures Market - The Shanghai gold futures price on September 11 is reported at 833.82 CNY per gram, with an increase of 0.26% [1] - The opening price for the day was 834.06 CNY per gram, with a maximum of 840.82 CNY and a minimum of 827.26 CNY [1] Group 2: Macroeconomic News - The U.S. August CPI adjusted for seasonal changes recorded a month-on-month increase of 0.4%, the highest since January, exceeding market expectations of 0.3% [2] - The year-on-year CPI for August is reported at 2.9%, also the highest since January, aligning with market expectations [2] - Despite the CPI data indicating the largest inflation increase in seven months, it is anticipated that the Federal Reserve will proceed with interest rate cuts due to a weak job market [2] - The probability of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September is 93.9%, while the probability of a 50 basis point cut is 6.1% [2] - The U.S. Treasury Department has announced the largest sanctions against the Houthi movement to date, targeting 32 individuals and entities [2] Group 3: Institutional Perspectives - The weak performance of U.S. August employment data and stable core CPI year-on-year figures are leading to increased support for interest rate cuts from Federal Reserve officials [3] - Market expectations suggest that the Federal Reserve may cut rates by 25 basis points in September, October, December, and January, influenced by geopolitical risks such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict [3] - Continuous purchases of gold by central banks globally may lead to a bullish trend in precious metal prices, with support levels around 800-810 CNY and resistance levels around 840-850 CNY [3]

Group 1: Market Analysis - The main contract of Shanghai Futures Exchange fuel oil futures closed up 0.47% at 2,802 yuan/ton, while the main contract of INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed down 0.53% at 3,373 yuan/ton [1] - Crude oil prices are in a range-bound oscillation, with geopolitical risks remaining due to the volatile situations in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine. However, with OPEC's continuous production increase, the crude oil balance sheet is expected to loosen after the peak season, so the short-term direction of oil prices is unclear, providing limited guidance for fuel oil prices [1] - High-sulfur fuel oil is in the stage of market rebalancing, with current mixed long and short factors. The near-term supply is relatively abundant, and Singapore's inventory is at a high level. As summer ends, demand in the Middle East is expected to decline, but there is still room for export growth. Short-term market contradictions are limited, and high inventories need to be digested. If cracking callbacks stimulate refinery demand, the market will gain new support [1] - For low-sulfur fuel oil, current market contradictions are limited. Domestic production has increased but remains at a low level. The external market spread structure has weakened marginally, and downstream marine fuel demand is average. With the cracking spread at a medium to low level, the downward space is limited. In the medium term, it still faces the contradictions of demand share substitution and excess capacity, so while there is some support below the valuation, the upward resistance is also large [1] Group 2: Strategy - High-sulfur fuel oil: Neutral in the short term, downward in the medium term [2] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: Neutral in the short term, downward in the medium term [2] - No strategy for cross-variety, cross-period, spot-futures, or options [2] Group 3: Figures - Figures include Singapore high-sulfur 380 fuel oil spot price, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil spot price, Singapore high-sulfur fuel oil swap near-month contract, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil swap near-month contract, Singapore high-sulfur fuel oil near-month spread, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil near-month spread, fuel oil FU futures main contract closing price, fuel oil FU futures index closing price, fuel oil FU futures near-month contract closing price, fuel oil FU near-month contract spread, fuel oil FU futures main contract trading volume and open interest, fuel oil FU futures total trading volume and open interest, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures main closing price, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures index closing price, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures near-month contract price, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures near-month spread, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures main trading volume and open interest, and low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures total trading volume and open interest [3]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating. However, based on the individual product outlooks, the general sentiment is "oscillating weakly" for the chemical industry [4]. Core Viewpoints - The IEA monthly report raised the global crude oil supply increment for 2025 from 2.5 million barrels per day to 2.7 million barrels per day, and EIA and IEA reports both reaffirmed the market's surplus pattern. The U.S. petroleum total inventory increased by 15 million barrels weekly, and the surplus inventory is spreading to developed economies [2]. - The chemical industry follows raw material fluctuations. The demand peak season characteristics are not obvious. The overall operating rate of the agricultural film industry downstream of plastics is still at a low level, and the polyester and styrene downstream industries have mixed performance in terms of operating rate and inventory [3]. - Investors should approach the chemical industry with an oscillating weakly mindset and wait for the implementation of specific policies to address over - competition in China's petrochemical industry [4]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Market Views Crude Oil - **Viewpoint**: Supply pressure persists, and geopolitical risks should be monitored. The OPEC monthly report showed a significant increase in OPEC+ production in August, and the IEA monthly report strengthened the global crude oil surplus expectation. The oil price is expected to oscillate weakly, with geopolitical factors causing short - term disturbances [8]. Asphalt - **Viewpoint**: The resistance level of 3,500 for asphalt futures prices is gradually established. The supply tension has been significantly alleviated, and the demand is still not optimistic. The absolute price of asphalt is overvalued, and the monthly spread is expected to decline with the increase of warehouse receipts [9]. High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: Fuel oil follows the decline of crude oil. The increase in OPEC+ production, the deterioration of the U.S. employment data, and the decline in fuel oil demand expectations have led to a weakening of high - sulfur fuel oil. Geopolitical upgrades may cause short - term price fluctuations [10]. Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: Low - sulfur fuel oil follows the decline of crude oil. It faces a trend of increasing supply and decreasing demand, with a low valuation and is expected to follow crude oil fluctuations [11]. Methanol - **Viewpoint**: Olefins still have a drag, and methanol futures prices oscillate. There is a contradiction between the inland and port inventories. Considering the high probability of overseas shutdown in the far - month, there may be opportunities for long - position in the far - month [26]. Urea - **Viewpoint**: Under the loose supply - demand fundamentals, the futures market runs weakly and stably. The market is waiting for new positive factors [27]. Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Viewpoint**: Multiple new plants will be launched around October, which pressures market sentiment. The price is expected to oscillate within a range [18]. PX - **Viewpoint**: It oscillates following raw materials and the macro - environment. The price oscillates narrowly, and the fundamentals have limited contradictions [12]. PTA - **Viewpoint**: The sales volume lacks continuous growth, and the enthusiasm for raw material inventory is insufficient. The supply is slightly increasing, and the downstream polyester sales have turned cold again [13]. Short - Fiber - **Viewpoint**: The demand has not improved significantly, and there is a slight inventory build - up. The cost support is limited, and the downstream demand has not met expectations [20]. Bottle Chip - **Viewpoint**: There is limited driving force, and it follows passively. The upstream raw materials oscillate, and the supply - demand drive is weak [22]. PP - **Viewpoint**: As the oil price declines, PP oscillates and falls back. It has reached a low point in June, with support at the previous low. The supply side still has an incremental trend, and the demand is slowly increasing [30]. Propylene (PL) - **Viewpoint**: PL follows PP's short - term fluctuations. The inventory of propylene enterprises is low, and the short - term macro - end may fluctuate [32]. Plastic (LLDPE) - **Viewpoint**: As the oil price weakens, plastic oscillates and declines. The oil price is under pressure, and the domestic measures to address over - capacity have limited substantial support. The downstream start - up is slow, and the supply side still has pressure [29]. Pure Benzene - **Viewpoint**: The port will return to inventory build - up, and the pure benzene price oscillates weakly. The supply surplus risk is increasing, and the market is trading on the expected import increment in October and inventory build - up [14]. Styrene - **Viewpoint**: The decline has暂缓, and the market oscillates. It has rebounded after a decline, but the medium - term outlook is still bearish. There is still significant inventory pressure in September - October [17]. PVC - **Viewpoint**: Weak reality and strong expectation, PVC oscillates. The macro - policy has not been implemented, and the micro - fundamentals are under pressure, but the valuation is not high [34]. Caustic Soda - **Viewpoint**: The spot price has reached a short - term peak, and the futures market is cautiously weak. The short - term fundamental pressure is increasing, but the decline space is limited considering the far - month alumina production expectation [34]. 2. Variety Data Monitoring Energy Chemical Daily Indicator Monitoring - **Inter - Period Spread**: Different varieties have different inter - period spread values and changes, such as Brent's M1 - M2 spread being 0.35 with a change of 0.02, and PX's 1 - 5 month spread being 12 with a change of 10 [36]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: Each variety has its own basis and warehouse receipt situation, for example, the basis of asphalt is 77 with a change of - 13, and the number of warehouse receipts is 64,460 [37]. - **Inter - Variety Spread**: There are various inter - variety spread values and changes, like the 1 - month PP - 3MA spread being - 222 with a change of 51 [38]. Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring - The report mentions the monitoring of multiple varieties such as methanol, urea, styrene, etc., but specific data details are not fully presented in the provided text [39][52][64].
