Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2.

The movement of household deposits into the market is an important driving force for this round of the market [18][20]. - In the commodity market, different products show different trends. For example, some chemical products like coking coal and coke are rising, while some agricultural products like corn are in a downward trend. The supply - demand relationship and market news have a significant impact on product prices [6][13]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Chemical Industry - **Price Changes**: On August 26, 2025, compared with August 25, most chemical products' prices rose, such as coking coal (up 4.518% to 1,214.50), coke (up 3.307% to 1,734.00), and natural rubber (up 1.792% to 15,905.00).

Demand is currently weak but has marginal improvement expectations. The futures price may continue to fluctuate in the range of 1700 - 1800 yuan/ton [14]. - **Caustic Soda**: With the approaching peak demand season, the 2511 contract is expected to be strong, and a buy - on - dips strategy is recommended [14]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Coking enterprises in Henan are implementing production cuts. The eighth round of coke price increases has started, and the prices of coking coal and coke are expected to be firm in the short term [11][14]. 3.2 Agricultural Products - **Price Changes**: On August 26, 2025, compared with August 25, some agricultural products' prices rose, such as yellow soybean No. 2 (up 0.764% to 3,827.00) and cotton No. 1 (up 0.820% to 14,145.00), while others like palm oil (down 0.521% to 9,542.00) and yellow corn (down 0.782% to 2,158.00) declined [6]. - **Product Analysis** - **Sugar**: The price is in a volatile and slightly strong trend. Supply is affected by Brazil's reduced production and domestic concentrated arrivals of processed sugar. Demand is mainly for rigid procurement. It is recommended to wait and see and pay attention to the 5700 - yuan resistance level [13]. - **Corn**: The price is in a downward trend due to increased supply and weak demand. A short - selling strategy is recommended, with a new support level at 2140 yuan/ton [13]. - **Pig**: Spot prices are stable with a slight increase, but futures are weak.

A long - position strategy is recommended if the price breaks through the oscillation range [15][17]. - **Aluminum**: Although there is a pressure of inventory accumulation, the current inventory level is not high. The termination of tax - refund policies for some recycled aluminum enterprises may support the consumption of primary aluminum. The price is expected to remain high [15][17]. - **Alumina**: Supply has increased due to profit incentives, and demand is relatively stable. The spot price has limited upward momentum, and the 2601 contract is expected to continue to fluctuate.

Steel prices are expected to oscillate with a potential for rebound [16][17]. - **Ferroalloys**: The prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese showed different trends. The market is expected to continue to fluctuate widely in the short term, and risk control is necessary for hedging and speculation [16][17]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The price is in a volatile pattern.
