Summary by Related Catalogs Energy - **Crude Oil**: Overnight international oil prices rose, with the Brent December contract up 1.18%. Last week, the US API crude oil inventory decreased by 2.981 million barrels more than expected, and gasoline and refined oil inventories also declined. The continuous production - increase strategy of OPEC+ and the sequential decline in demand after the peak oil - consumption season still bring medium - term supply - demand loosening pressure to the market. But considering that international oil prices are approaching the low point in April during the trade war and the net long positions in foreign - exchange crude oil futures and options have also fallen to the low end of the range, the decline momentum of oil prices is expected to slow down this week without additional negative news [2]. - **Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Overnight, fuel oil followed crude oil with a large - amplitude oscillating trend of opening high and then falling. High - sulfur fuel oil maintains a "strong present, weak future" pattern, and low - sulfur fuel oil supply is expected to remain loose [22]. - **Asphalt**: The national weekly asphalt operating rate decreased month - on - month. Terminal demand in the north was blocked by significant cooling, and rainfall in the south also dragged down the rigid demand. It is expected that the demand in October will be weaker than expected. The social inventory is steadily decreasing, and the factory inventory is also decreasing but at a slow pace. The asphalt market remains in a tight - balance pattern in the short term, and the price has bottom support [23]. - **Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)**: The LPG main contract continued to oscillate narrowly, and the far - month contract was under relatively more pressure. This week, the supply increased slightly. The current chemical demand increased, while the combustion demand was relatively flat. The weekly refinery and port inventories both decreased [24]. Metals - **Precious Metals**: Overnight, gold and silver prices tumbled and have been fluctuating significantly for many days. Recently, there have been some signs of easing in Sino - US trade. The Russia - Ukraine issue and the US government shutdown are in a critical stage of the game, and risk sentiment is fluctuating. Precious metals are currently overbought in the short term and are being corrected. After the correction, they may form a high - level oscillating platform. It is recommended to wait and see temporarily and look for buying opportunities after stabilization [3]. - **Base Metals** - **Copper**: Overnight, copper prices oscillated and closed down. Supported by the gold - copper ratio, copper prices showed strong resilience during the adjustment. The Shanghai copper was traded around 85,000 yuan. The market is concerned about the changes in domestic and foreign stock markets. The domestic spot copper was reported at 85,730 yuan, with a premium of 50 yuan in Shanghai. Copper prices are expected to oscillate at a high level [4]. - **Aluminum**: Overnight, Shanghai aluminum continued to oscillate. Since August, the apparent consumption of the aluminum market has been basically flat year - on - year. At the beginning of the week, the social inventory of aluminum ingots decreased by 0.2 million tons compared with last Thursday, and the aluminum rod inventory remained unchanged. Since the National Day, the inventory performance has been neutral, and the fundamental driving force is limited. In the short term, Shanghai aluminum will continue to oscillate and test the previous high resistance [5]. - **Alumina**: The operating capacity of alumina is at a historical high, and the industry inventory continues to rise. The supply surplus is obvious, and the spot indexes in various regions continue to decline. In September, the average cost in Shanxi and Henan was about 3000 yuan. The current index price is not yet low enough to trigger cash - loss production cuts in Shanxi and Henan but is approaching that level. Alumina will mainly operate weakly [6]. - **Cast Aluminum Alloy**: The spot price of Baotai ADC12 remained at 20,600 yuan. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and the expected adjustment of the tax - rate policy increases the enterprise cost. However, the industry inventory is at a high level, with the Shanghai Futures Exchange warehouse receipts reaching 45,000 tons. Cast aluminum alloy will continue to follow the movement of aluminum prices [7]. - **Zinc**: The spot premium of LME zinc for 0 - 3 months has risen rapidly. The tight spot market has driven up the foreign - exchange price. Fundamentally, the domestic market is weak while the foreign market is strong. The spot export window for zinc has opened, and the foreign market has pulled up the domestic market. Short - sellers of Shanghai zinc reduced their positions at low prices, and the price rebounded slightly. The price ratio is not conducive to the import of ore, and with the approaching of winter storage, the TC of imported ore is gradually rising, while the TC of domestic ore continues to decline. Shanghai zinc has strong support at 21,500 yuan/ton. In the short term, the rebound height of zinc prices depends on zinc ingot exports and downstream consumption. The price difference between domestic and foreign markets has not effectively converged. Attention should be paid to the third - quarter production data of overseas smelters. With the high price of LME zinc, overseas smelters have some room to increase production [8]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: Shanghai nickel oscillated narrowly, and the market trading was average. The recovery of downstream demand during the peak consumption season was limited, and the market trading was relatively light. The social inventory has stopped decreasing and started to increase. The confidence in the spot market is generally weak, and the trading is light. The price of ferronickel is 941 yuan per nickel point, and the support from the rebound of upstream prices is weakening, which may drag down the overall price level of the nickel industry chain. The pure nickel inventory increased by nearly 4000 tons to 47,700 tons, the ferronickel inventory decreased by 200 tons to 29,000 tons, and the stainless - steel inventory soared by 50,000 tons to 953,000 tons. Technically, Shanghai nickel is in a weak position, and a short - selling mindset is recommended [10]. - **Tin**: Overnight, both domestic and foreign tin prices closed up. In September, the import volume of domestic tin concentrates decreased by nearly 30% month - on - month due to the impact of the African region, while the supply from Myanmar slightly recovered. Short - sellers at high positions should hold their positions against the 282,000 - yuan level and the MA10 moving average. A short - selling strategy should be continued [11]. - **Ferrous Metals** - **Iron Ore**: Overnight, the iron - ore futures oscillated. On the supply side, the global shipments increased month - on - month and were stronger than the same period last year. The domestic arrival volume decreased from a high level but was still stronger than the annual average and the same period last year. The port inventory increased significantly. On the demand side, the apparent demand for steel increased month - on - month but was still at a low level year - on - year. The molten - iron output decreased slightly from a high level. As the peak season for terminals gradually ends and the steel - mill profit shrinks to a low level, the pressure for molten - iron production cuts in the future is gradually increasing. External trade frictions are recurring, and there are still concerns about the negative feedback in the industrial chain. However, with the convening of important domestic meetings, the market still has certain expectations for policy benefits. Iron ore is expected to oscillate at a high level [16]. - **Coke**: The intraday price oscillated downward. The second round of price increases for coking has started. The coking profit is average, and the daily output decreased slightly. The coke inventory continued to decrease slightly. Currently, downstream users are purchasing on a small - scale and as - needed basis, mainly consuming inventory, and the purchasing willingness of traders is average. Overall, the supply of carbon elements is abundant, and the high - level molten - iron production at downstream provides support for carbon elements. The support near the previous low is relatively solid. The coke futures are slightly at a premium, and the market has certain expectations for the safety - production assessment in the main coking - coal producing areas, which is expected to push up the coke cost. The price is likely to rise rather than fall [17]. - **Coking Coal**: The intraday price oscillated downward. The production of coking coal mines increased slightly, the spot auction transactions improved, and the transaction prices mainly increased. The terminal inventory increased. The total coking - coal inventory increased slightly month - on - month, and the production - end inventory decreased slightly. After the holiday, the production did not increase significantly. Overall, the supply of carbon elements is abundant, and the high - level molten - iron production at downstream provides support for raw materials. The support near the previous low is relatively solid. The coking - coal futures are slightly at a discount to Mongolian coal, and the market has certain expectations for the safety - production assessment in the main coking - coal producing areas. The price is likely to rise rather than fall [18]. - **Manganese Silicon**: The intraday price oscillated narrowly. Attention should be paid to the tender - pricing news of a large steel mill in the north. Currently, the inquiry price is 5800 yuan/ton, 200 yuan/ton lower than the transaction price in September. On the demand side, the molten - iron output remains at a high level. The weekly output of silicon - manganese decreased slightly and remains at a relatively high level. The silicon - manganese inventory decreased slightly, and the spot and futures demand is still good. The forward - looking quotation of manganese ore increased slightly month - on - month, and the spot ore was boosted by the futures price. The manganese - ore inventory decreased slightly, and the contradiction is not prominent. Continuous attention should be paid to the impact of external trade frictions [19]. - **Silicon Iron**: The intraday price oscillated narrowly. Attention should be paid to the steel - tender news. On the demand side, the molten - iron output remains at a high level. The export demand remains at about 30,000 tons, with a marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal increased slightly month - on - month, and the secondary demand increased marginally. The overall demand is acceptable. The silicon - iron supply remains at a high level, and the on - balance - sheet inventory continues to decrease. Attention should be paid to the impact of external trade frictions [20]. Chemicals - **Polypropylene, Plastic, and Propylene**: The futures prices of polypropylene, plastic, and propylene continued to decline. In the spot market, prices fell to a new low for the year. Production enterprises showed a strong willingness to stabilize the market, and the purchasing willingness of downstream factories increased, resulting in an increase in market transactions and an improvement in the overall trading atmosphere. In the polyethylene market, there is a strong wait - and - see atmosphere, and many are waiting for news - based guidance. The cost support is weakening, and the supply side has certain pressure, so the market mostly offers small discounts for sales. For polypropylene, the impact of new production capacity and the weakening of device - maintenance efforts are expected to increase the supply. The follow - up of new orders after the holiday is less than expected, and there are still obstacles to the consumption of finished - product inventory. In addition, the low profit level of downstream enterprises restricts their purchasing enthusiasm [29]. - **PVC and Caustic Soda**: PVC oscillated. The maintenance of enterprises has gradually ended, and the supply is expected to increase. Domestic demand is stable at a low level, and foreign - trade exports are mainly for concentrated delivery. In September, exports continued to perform well, but with the upcoming anti - dumping duties and BIS policies, future exports will face downward pressure. The price of calcium carbide has recently stabilized, but the profit of chlor - alkali integration is good, and the cost support is not obvious. The weak - reality pattern continues, and PVC may oscillate weakly. Caustic soda oscillated narrowly. Shandong maintenance enterprises are gradually resuming production, and other regions have maintenance plans, so the supply may fluctuate slightly. Non - aluminum downstream enterprises replenished inventory at low prices, and the liquid - caustic soda inventory decreased month - on - month. The profit of alumina is compressed, and the current output change is not significant. Attention should be paid to the subsequent implementation of new production capacity. The non - aluminum demand growth is limited. The downstream replenishment demand for caustic soda has not been disproven, and the basis is relatively high. Caution is advised when short - selling [30]. - **PX and PTA**: PX has recently undergone maintenance, and the supply has contracted periodically. PTA enterprises plan to start new devices and shut down old ones, and several maintenance devices are about to end, so the supply is expected to increase. The e - commerce sales window period and the nationwide cooling may boost the sentiment in the textile and clothing market. Yesterday, the sales of polyester yarn were strong, and downstream enterprises increased their inventory. From the perspective of industrial - chain valuation, the short - process profit of PX declined, and the long - process profit was neutral. The PTA processing margin oscillated at a low level, and the polyester profit improved. Overall, with the weakening of oil prices and the expectation of weakening industrial - chain demand, the prices of PX and PTA continued to be weak, and PTA is expected to accumulate inventory. An anti - spread strategy is recommended. Attention should be paid to the possible improvement in demand under the influence of factors such as the improvement in downstream profit, the e - commerce sales window period, and cooling [31]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Overnight, ethylene glycol continued to oscillate around 4000. The domestic operating rate decreased slightly, and the weekly arrival and shipping volumes decreased. The port inventory continued to increase. The weakening of crude oil has narrowed the loss of the naphtha - integrated
