1. Report Industry Investment Rating Most of the industries in the report are rated as "oscillating", with the exception of the log industry which is rated as "oscillating weakly", and the sugar industry which is expected to "oscillate weakly" in the long - term and "oscillate" in the short - term [7][8][9][10][12][14][16][17][18]. 2. Core View of the Report The report analyzes multiple agricultural and related industries, finding that most industries are currently in an oscillating state. Some industries face supply - demand imbalances, such as the oversupply in the hog industry; others are affected by factors like weather, policies, and trade relations, such as the possible weather - related speculation in natural rubber and the impact of trade agreements on protein meal [1][7][8]. 3. Summary by Variety 3.1 Oils and Fats - **View**: Oscillating and differentiating, with soybean and rapeseed oils oscillating strongly yesterday. - **Logic**: Good growth of US soybeans, a decrease in US soybean oil inventory, an increase in the expected demand for soybean oil in biodiesel, and the Brazilian biodiesel blending ratio increase. However, there is also pressure from the increase in palm oil production and the high inventory of domestic rapeseed oil [7]. 3.2 Protein Meal - **View**: Due to the signing of the Sino - Australian trade memorandum of understanding, the double - meal oscillated and slightly declined. - **Logic**: Abroad, the growth of US soybeans is smooth, but the export prospects are worrying; Brazil's exports are still high. Domestically, the signing of the Sino - Australian memorandum implies new Australian seed imports, with supply pressure leading to weak spot prices, but concerns about Sino - US trade support the futures prices. It is expected to oscillate in the short - term and be strong in the long - term [8]. 3.3 Corn/Starch - **View**: Spot transactions are light, and futures and spot prices oscillate weakly. - **Logic**: Futures prices rebounded slightly during the day and then fell back. On the spot side, supply at ports and deep - processing plants decreased, and there were price adjustments at some deep - processing plants. Deep - processing production and consumption data changed slightly, and there is a risk of supply shortage before the new grain is listed in large quantities [9][10]. 3.4 Hogs - **View**: Upstream slaughtering puts pressure on hog prices. - **Logic**: In the short - term, large hogs are being slaughtered at an accelerated pace, but the average weight has bottomed out and rebounded, and farmers are still reluctant to sell standard hogs. In the medium - term, the number of new - born piglets has been increasing, and there is room for an increase in hog slaughter in the second half of the year. In the long - term, the current production capacity is still high. The demand for pork has increased week - on - week, and the weight - reduction trend is blocked. In the short - term, the market has positive sentiment, but in the medium - and long - term, there is supply pressure in the third quarter [1][10]. 3.5 Natural Rubber - **View**: There may be weather - related speculation, but the expected increase is limited. - **Logic**: The rubber price rose rapidly at the end of trading yesterday, possibly due to weather - related speculation about a typhoon landing in Hainan Island or external capital. The trading logic follows the macro - sentiment, and the fundamentals are currently stable. The supply is affected by the rainy season, and the demand is relatively stable [12][13]. 3.6 Synthetic Rubber - **View**: The futures price rebounded after a decline. - **Logic**: The futures price followed the commodity adjustment and then rebounded due to the impact of natural rubber. The upward driving force is not obvious, but there is support from the macro - environment and the improvement in butadiene trading. It is expected to oscillate within a range [14]. 3.7 Cotton - **View**: Cotton prices increased with increased positions, breaking through the 14,000 - yuan mark. - **Logic**: In the medium - and long - term, the cotton market is loose, and the new cotton in Xinjiang is expected to increase in production. The demand is in the off - season, but the current commercial inventory is low. Yesterday, the futures price increased with increased positions, but there are multiple factors restricting further increases, and there is a risk of decline when new cotton is listed in large quantities [14]. 3.8 Sugar - **View**: Sugar prices fluctuated within a narrow range. - **Logic**: In the medium - and long - term, sugar prices are under downward pressure due to the expected supply surplus in the 25/26 sugar - making season. In the short - term, the decline in Brazilian sugar production and high domestic sales rates support sugar prices, but the increase in Brazilian production and exports and domestic imports will increase supply pressure [16]. 3.9 Pulp - **View**: The trend is dominated by the macro - environment, with a stalemate - type fluctuation. - **Logic**: The futures price fluctuated horizontally, and the supply - demand relationship is in a stalemate. The upward driving force comes from the macro - environment, but there is pressure at 5200 - 5300 yuan. In the short - term, there is a slight rebound space, and in the medium - term, there may be a phased increase, but the height is limited [17]. 3.10 Logs - **View**: There are few fundamental contradictions, and the short - term futures price oscillates. - **Logic**: Spot prices are weak due to the impact of delivery products, and the cost of importers has increased. Although it is the off - season, the overall demand is stable, and the market is in the bottom - building stage. There is no clear driving force for upward or downward movement in the short - term [18][19].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints - The prices of silicon-based products are showing a firm trend. For industrial silicon, supply may be less than expected while demand from the polysilicon sector may increase, and short - term prices are expected to continue to be strong with potential for greater fluctuations. For polysilicon, the market is driven by supply - side reform expectations and spot price increases, but the upside space may be limited [1]. Summary by Related Content Price Changes - Industrial silicon: The average price of non - oxygenated 553 (East China) increased by 0.56% to 8,950 yuan/ton, the average price of 421 (East China) remained flat at 9,500 yuan/ton, and the futures main contract closing price decreased by 1.14% to 8,685 yuan/ton [1]. - Polysilicon: N - type dense material, N - type re - feeding material, N - type mixed material, and N - type granular silicon prices remained unchanged. The futures main contract closing price increased by 1.12% to 42,945 yuan/ton [1]. Industry News - On July 14, 2025, Yichang Henglong Chemical Co., Ltd.'s project for the reconstruction of water - free dyeing dyes and silicone oil was approved for filing, with planned production capacities of 3000 tons/year of water - free dyeing dyes and 1200 tons/year of silicone oil [1]. - An Anhui - based photovoltaic glass kiln production line with a designed capacity of 750 tons/day entered cold repair, leading to a decrease in supply and an improvement in downstream procurement sentiment [1]. Fundamental Analysis - Industrial silicon supply: Northern large - scale factories have production cuts with no restart news, while the southwest region is about to enter the wet season with lower power costs and gradually increasing enterprise operations, but the restart speed is slow, resulting in a possible supply reduction [1]. - Industrial silicon demand: Polysilicon enterprises are maintaining production cuts with some planned restarts in July, bringing some demand increase; the silicone industry has a strong willingness to cut production to support prices but weak demand, and the demand from silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises is based on needs [1]. - Polysilicon supply: Enterprises are maintaining production cuts, but some may have new capacity put into operation, with an expected slight increase in production in July, approaching 110,000 tons [1]. - Polysilicon demand: The photovoltaic market is weak overall, with increased inventory of silicon wafers and polysilicon. Although the trading atmosphere has improved, the terminal market remains weak due to over - consumption of demand in the first half of the year [1]. Investment Strategies - Industrial silicon: In the short - term, prices are expected to continue to be strong with greater fluctuations, and short - term operations are recommended. In the long - term, there will be selling pressure after the market rebounds [1]. - Polysilicon: The price may continue to be strong in the short - term, but the upside space is limited. Existing long positions can consider taking profits, and continuous attention should be paid to the actual operations of the industrial chain and the implementation of supply - side reforms [1].

Core Insights - The recent emphasis on "anti-involution" by the Central Financial Committee indicates a significant policy shift aimed at addressing issues in various sectors, including photovoltaic, steel, and construction materials [2][3] - The current "anti-involution" policy is expected to differ from the 2016 "supply-side reform" in terms of industry characteristics, causes, and policy intensity [4][15] Group 1: Policy Background and Timing - The current macroeconomic environment mirrors that of 2016, with global economic slowdown, weak domestic demand, and declining capacity utilization leading to negative PPI growth [4][15] - The sequence of policy implementation for "anti-involution" is expected to follow a similar pattern to that of the "supply-side reform," starting with policy definition, followed by top-level design, and then specific industry policies [21][46] Group 2: Industry Characteristics and Opportunities - The "anti-involution" initiative focuses on advanced manufacturing sectors, which have shorter capacity formation times and higher private enterprise participation compared to traditional industries targeted in the 2016 reforms [4][25] - Industries such as wind power, steel, certain chemicals, photovoltaic, and coal are identified as having "involution" pressures, with potential for policy support and market recognition [3][6] Group 3: Market Impact and Investment Opportunities - The "anti-involution" policy is anticipated to boost PPI and corporate profitability, contingent on appropriate timing, policy strength, and demand-side coordination [3][4] - Historical data suggests that the initiation of supply-side reforms led to significant improvements in industrial profits, commodity prices, and capacity utilization rates, indicating potential for similar outcomes under the current policy [47][50] Group 4: Sector-Specific Insights - In the construction materials sector, self-balancing supply capabilities are strong, particularly in cement and fiberglass, with a focus on eliminating disorderly competition [7] - The steel industry is expected to enter a recovery phase by Q3 2024, aided by voluntary production cuts and favorable pricing dynamics [7] - The chemical industry is projected to benefit from supply-side adjustments driven by self-discipline and environmental regulations, with a recovery anticipated in the latter half of 2025 [8] - The automotive sector is shifting from price competition to value competition, with the "anti-involution" policy expected to stabilize pricing dynamics [8] - The agricultural sector, particularly in pig farming, is seeing policy measures aimed at reducing production capacity and optimizing structure, which may lead to price stabilization [9]

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry or Company Involved - The discussion revolves around the "反内卷" (anti-involution) policy and its implications on various industries, particularly focusing on high-end manufacturing, photovoltaic, lithium battery, and automotive sectors. Core Points and Arguments 1. **Differences Between Anti-Involution and Supply-Side Reform** Anti-involution stems from homogenization in local investment attraction, while supply-side reform is a consequence of the 4 trillion investment aftermath. The former focuses on mid-to-downstream high-end manufacturing, whereas the latter is concentrated in upstream heavy industries [3][6][10]. 2. **Importance of Demand-Side Support** Successful implementation of anti-involution requires demand-side support. Current external demand is limited, and the real estate cycle is at the bottom, leading to insufficient demand pull. Merely reducing capacity will not sustain price increases without effective demand-side policies [5][9]. 3. **Beneficial Industries** Industries likely to benefit from the anti-involution policy include photovoltaic, lithium battery, and automotive sectors, as opposed to traditional heavy industries like coal and steel. These emerging industries align better with current economic structural adjustments [6][21]. 4. **Main Beneficiaries of the Policy** Leading enterprises are expected to benefit from the closure of outdated capacities. However, if private enterprises have complex and high-end industries without clear outdated capacities, the effectiveness of the policy remains uncertain [7][8]. 5. **Future Core Policies** Future anti-involution policies will include price red lines, industry self-discipline, capacity control, local investment regulations, mergers and acquisitions, credit constraints, fiscal policies, and environmental supervision [10][16]. 6. **Market Expectations and Policy Implementation** The current anti-involution market is characterized by short-term thematic trading driven by policy expectations. The market is awaiting the actual implementation of policies to trigger significant changes in industry capacity cycles [2][20]. 7. **Investment Potential Analysis** Financial data analysis indicates that industries at the bottom of the capacity cycle, such as glass fiber and photovoltaic equipment, show potential for investment. The evaluation metrics include fixed asset turnover, gross margin, capital expenditure, and revenue growth [22][23]. 8. **Concerns Over Capacity Overhang** Certain sectors, such as kitchen appliances and military electronics, are facing significant capacity overhang issues, which require cautious observation [23]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Role of Local Investment Practices** The central government is increasingly focusing on local investment practices to avoid vicious competition and resource waste, indicating a need for regulation [11]. 2. **Challenges in Mergers and Acquisitions** Mergers and acquisitions are seen as a method to improve efficiency but face implementation challenges due to the time required for market-driven processes [12]. 3. **Historical Context of Supply-Side Reform** The initial phase of supply-side reform faced skepticism, similar to the current anti-involution phase, highlighting the need for time to assess actual effects [13][18]. 4. **Future Economic Planning** The upcoming 14th Five-Year Plan may focus on anti-involution as a mainline policy, especially in light of capacity overhang issues in sectors like photovoltaic and lithium batteries [17]. 5. **Phased Development of Anti-Involution** The anti-involution policy is expected to evolve through distinct phases, from policy expectation to implementation and eventual demand expansion, mirroring past economic cycles [19][20].
