Core Viewpoint - Styrene futures are experiencing a strong fluctuation, with the main contract reaching a peak of 7140.00 yuan and currently trading at 7110.00 yuan, reflecting a 1.69% increase [1] Group 1: Market Analysis - Short-term expectations for EB2510 are projected to fluctuate within the range of 6900-7100 yuan, with supply reduction anticipated and downstream demand potentially increasing during the peak season [2][4] - The overall market for styrene is currently in a state of balance between profit and loss, with no significant contradictions in supply and demand. Despite losses widening, production remains high, and port inventories are severely piled up, indicating substantial inventory pressure [3] - The weak overall market for styrene is unlikely to change in the short term, as the industry may need to reduce production loads to alleviate supply pressure [3][5] Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - Downstream industries are expected to slightly adjust their operating loads, with low profits and high inventories continuing to suppress growth in styrene demand [4] - The potential for a decrease in styrene production and capacity utilization is anticipated due to the impact of maintenance on production facilities [4]

Group 1: Market Performance and Outlook - Industrial silicon futures prices fluctuated within a narrow range. The closing price of Si2511 was 8,490 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.29%. The trading volume was 275,841 lots, and the open interest was 279,742 lots, with a net decrease of 1,738 lots [4]. - Sichuan 553 price was 8,900 yuan/ton, Yunnan 553 price was 8,550 yuan/ton; Inner Mongolia 421 price was 9,400 yuan/ton, Xinjiang 421 price was 9,150 yuan/ton, and Sichuan 421 price was 9,600 yuan/ton [4]. - After the high - price adjustment, the spot price remained stable. The fundamentals did not improve significantly. The supply - side increase was obvious, with the weekly output reaching 90,000 tons, equivalent to a monthly output of about 390,000 tons. On the demand side, polysilicon production reduction and sales control in September led to a decrease in monthly output from 145,000 tons to 120,000 - 130,000 tons. The total volume of organic silicon, alloy, and exports remained stable. The industry was in a supply - demand imbalance again without inventory - reduction drivers. Policy implementation did not focus on the industrial silicon industry, and the fundamentals had insufficient driving force, so the futures market fluctuated widely [4]. Group 2: Market News - On September 4th, the number of futures warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 50,348 lots, a net increase of 319 lots compared with the previous trading day [5]. - According to customs data, in July 2025, the export of metallic silicon was 74,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 8.32% and a year - on - year increase of 36.75%.

The single - month new installed capacity in July was 11 GW, a year - on - year decrease of 47.7%, hitting a new low in 2025 [5].

Report Information - Report Title: Zinc Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: September 4, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Non - ferrous Metals Research Team [4] - Researchers: Peng Jinglin, Zhang Ping, Yu Feifei [4] Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core View - The Shanghai zinc market fluctuated weakly, with the main contract closing at 2,2285 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan or 0.09%. There is an increasing divergence between domestic and foreign markets, and the processing fees continue to rise. Although the zinc ingot production remains at a high level despite short - term disturbances from Guangxi smelters, the demand side is supported by policies but shows short - term weakness. The production restriction in North China suppresses the galvanizing consumption, and the pressure of supply - demand surplus is reflected in the inventory. The social inventory increased to 146,300 tons on Monday. The LME zinc inventory decreased by 375 tons to 55,225 tons, the lowest level since May 2023. The 0 - 3 spread B continued to strengthen to 20.44. The expectation of macro - interest rate cuts and continuous de - stocking in LME boosted the external market, but the divergence in the fundamental situation between domestic and foreign markets continued, resulting in a narrow - range oscillation of Shanghai zinc [7].
