Report Industry Investment Ratings - No information provided on industry investment ratings in the given reports. Core Views Methanol - The inland market is expected to see a continuous increase in production, with marginal devices in the red. The market sentiment has improved due to some Iranian devices starting to limit gas and stop production, leading to a significant strengthening of the disk, with both price and basis rising. In the short term, it is expected to fluctuate strongly, and attention should be paid to the time and intensity of gas limitation [1]. Crude Oil - Overnight oil prices rebounded due to the increasing expectation of a Fed rate cut in December and the ongoing difficulties in Russia - Ukraine negotiations. However, under the pressure of continuous production increase by OPEC+ and a record - high US crude oil production, the supply - demand pattern remains weak. In the short term, Brent crude oil is expected to fluctuate between $60 - 66 per barrel, and attention should be paid to the results of the Russia - Ukraine negotiations [5]. Polyolefins - PP shows a pattern of both supply and demand increasing, with reduced maintenance driving supply recovery and a slight reduction in inventory. PE shows a pattern of increasing supply and decreasing demand, with inventory slightly accumulating under the pressure of new production capacity. The 01 contract is still under significant pressure [8]. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda ash has an overall surplus pattern, with reduced production this week and phased inventory reduction at factories. In the medium term, demand is expected to remain rigid, and there may be further pressure on supply - demand without actual production capacity exit or load reduction. Glass has seen a short - term rebound in the market due to the shutdown of some production lines in Hubei, but in the medium - to - long term, demand is expected to decline, and the industry still needs to clear production capacity to solve the surplus problem [9]. Styrene - Pure benzene has new production capacity and device restarts, with overall supply remaining loose. Demand support is limited, and port inventories are rising. In the short term, the price may be adjusted due to the drag of oil prices. Styrene has limited supply and improved downstream procurement, but demand support is expected to be limited. The rebound space is restricted, and the short - term EB01 is expected to fluctuate [10]. Natural Rubber - Supply is supported by cost, but inventory is accumulating seasonally, and terminal demand is weak. It is expected to enter a range - bound consolidation, and attention should be paid to raw material output in the main production areas and macro - level changes [11]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic soda has supply - demand pressure, with expected weakening prices. PVC has a weak spot market, with supply increasing and demand remaining sluggish. The supply - demand is in an oversupply pattern, and prices are expected to continue to decline at the bottom [12]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX has a short - term weak supply - demand situation but strong mid - term support. PTA has a short - term tight supply - demand situation but a loose mid - term outlook. Ethylene glycol is expected to fluctuate at a low level. Short - fiber has a weak supply - demand situation, and bottle - chip has a loose supply - demand pattern [13].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "Oscillation", with specific ratings for each variety as follows: steel - oscillation; iron ore - oscillation with an upward bias; scrap steel - oscillation; coke - oscillation; coking coal - oscillation with an upward bias; glass - oscillation; manganese silicon - oscillation; silicon iron - oscillation; soda ash - oscillation [8][12][15][16][19] Core View of the Report - The fundamentals of steel are improving, and with the upcoming Central Economic Work Conference in December and overseas interest - rate cut expectations, the macro - environment is favorable, leading to a low - level rebound in the futures market. However, as the off - season deepens, demand may weaken, and high inventory levels limit the upside potential. Iron ore prices are strong due to potential restocking demand, while scrap steel prices are expected to oscillate. Coke is expected to follow coking coal in oscillation, and coking coal's far - month contracts may oscillate with an upward bias. Manganese silicon and silicon iron are expected to trade around cost levels. Glass and soda ash face over - supply issues, with glass prices likely to oscillate weakly without more cold repairs, and soda ash prices expected to oscillate in the short term and decline in the long run [2][7][10] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Iron Element - Overseas mines' shipments decreased month - on - month, with a significant increase in arrivals this period after a decrease in the previous two weeks. Port inventories slightly declined, and steel mills' imported ore inventories decreased. Short - term hot metal is expected to be supported, and iron ore restocking demand may be released, so iron ore prices are strong. Scrap steel supply increased while demand remained stable, with limited downside space after price drops, and is expected to oscillate [3] Carbon Element - After profit recovery and environmental relaxation, coke supply stabilized. Short - term steel mill demand remained strong, and total inventory continued to decline, but cost support for spot prices weakened, and the market expected price cuts. Coke futures are expected to follow coking coal in oscillation. Coking coal's fundamentals have not significantly weakened, and downstream winter restocking is expected after spot price corrections. The near - month contracts are affected by delivery and are expected to oscillate, while the far - month contracts are expected to oscillate with an upward bias [3] Alloy - Manganese silicon has strong cost support, but the oversupply situation is difficult to reverse, and prices are expected to trade around cost levels. Silicon iron's cost supports the price bottom, but oversupply restricts the upside, and it is also expected to trade around cost levels [4][7] Glass and Soda Ash - Glass supply may be disrupted, but mid - and downstream inventories are relatively high, and the current supply - demand is oversupplied. Without more cold repairs by the end of the year, high inventories will suppress prices, otherwise, prices may rise. Soda ash prices are near cost, with obvious bottom support, but oversupply restricts price increases. In the short term, it is expected to oscillate, and in the long term, the price center will decline [7][15] Steel - Spot market transactions were good, steel mill profitability decreased, but production enthusiasm remained high, and steel output slightly increased. Steel demand was resilient, and overall inventory continued to decline, but inventory levels were still higher than the same period last year. The fundamentals are improving, and the futures market has the driving force for a low - level rebound, but the upside is limited due to the off - season and high inventory [10] Iron Ore - Global shipments decreased month - on - month, and the arrival rhythm fluctuated greatly. Spot prices mostly rose. From a fundamental perspective, overseas mine shipments decreased, arrivals increased this period, and the hurricane affected the arrival rhythm. Hot metal production slightly decreased, and restocking demand has not been significantly released. Short - term ore prices are expected to oscillate with an upward bias [10] Scrap Steel - This week's arrivals slightly increased, and electric furnace profits significantly recovered after the decline in scrap prices and the rise in finished product prices. The total daily consumption of 255 steel mills slightly decreased, and steel mills slightly replenished their inventories. The supply increased while demand remained stable, with limited downside space after price drops, and it is expected to oscillate [11] Coke - Futures followed coking coal in oscillation. Spot prices declined, and supply slightly increased after the improvement of coking profits and the end of environmental restrictions. Demand was weakening as hot metal production declined slightly. Inventory at coke enterprises slightly increased but remained low. In the off - season, supply and demand are both weak, and the futures market is expected to follow coking coal in oscillation [12][13] Coking Coal - Futures were under pressure and oscillated. Spot prices of some varieties declined. Domestic supply remained low, and the fundamentals have not significantly weakened. There is restocking demand for downstream winter storage after price corrections. The near - month contracts are affected by delivery and are expected to oscillate, while the far - month contracts are expected to oscillate with an upward bias [14] Manganese Silicon - Futures prices rose and then fell. Spot market transactions were average, and manufacturers were under cost pressure. Cost support remained strong, but the oversupply situation was difficult to reverse, and prices are expected to trade around cost levels [17] Silicon Iron - Futures prices rose and then fell. Spot market transactions needed improvement. Cost support was strong, but oversupply restricted the upside, and prices are expected to trade around cost levels [18]

Lithium Carbonate - Recent price correction of lithium carbonate is influenced by three main factors: implementation of position limits by the Dalian Commodity Exchange, a decrease in weekly inventory drawdown from 3,406 tons to 2,052 tons, and rumors of early resumption of production at the Ningde Jieneng mine [2] - Short-term lithium prices may continue to weaken due to cooling market sentiment, but the current supply-demand balance has significantly improved compared to the first half of the year, supporting a price floor above 80,000 [2] Crude Oil - WTI January contract closed at $58.84 per barrel, up 1.34%, while Brent January contract closed at $63.37 per barrel, up 1.29% [3] - Progress in peace talks between the US and Ukraine has been noted, but specific plans remain unclear, and geopolitical tensions continue to drive oil prices higher [3] - The market is awaiting further developments regarding the Russia-Ukraine peace plan and changes in the geopolitical situation in Venezuela [3] Coking Coal - Heavy snowfall at Ganqimaodu port has halted domestic coal exports, impacting market sentiment and leading to a cautious outlook [4] - Domestic coking coal supply is slowly recovering, but demand may weaken as steel mills reduce production [4] - Short-term expectations indicate potential price declines for coke due to reduced support from raw material prices [4] Oilseeds - The US Department of Energy has restructured its priorities towards oil and nuclear energy, impacting the oilseed market [5] - Soybean oil imports in October 2025 were 140,000 tons, down 12.5% month-on-month and year-on-year, which is bullish for soybean oil prices [5] - After a price increase in November, traders are actively purchasing, and with increased supply from Australia, short-term expectations for soybean oil indicate a range-bound market [5] Chemicals - PX operating rates remain high at 86.8%, while PTA supply is expected to decrease due to maintenance, leading to a potential accumulation of PX inventories [6] - Ethylene glycol supply is tightening, with domestic operating rates at 70.67%, and inventory levels stable [7] - Short fiber and bottle-grade PET are experiencing weak price movements, with average sales and inventory levels indicating a cautious market [7] Agricultural Products - US soybean exports increased by 919,400 tons for the week ending October 2, exceeding market expectations [10] - Brazil's soybean exports are projected to reach 110 million tons, with a significant portion going to China [10] - Domestic soybean meal inventories are high, leading to a bearish outlook, while canola meal production has halted due to zero operating rates [10] Metals and Financials - The central bank plans to conduct a 1 trillion yuan MLF operation, indicating a commitment to maintaining liquidity [13] - Recent dovish comments from Federal Reserve officials have raised expectations for a potential interest rate cut in December [14] - Copper prices are under pressure due to high inventory levels and weak demand, with a short-term bearish outlook [14]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Precious Metals**: In the medium - to long - term, central bank gold purchases and growing investment demand will push up the price of precious metals. In the short - term, due to the unclear prospect of a December interest rate cut, the prices will likely continue to fluctuate and adjust, with a possible narrowing of the fluctuation range [3]. - **Copper**: The intraday procurement and sales sentiment has increased, and the spot price has risen while the premium has weakened. The copper price faces pressure at 86,500 - 86,600. Given the weak impact of the unemployment data on the December interest rate cut expectation and the dollar index remaining above 100, the copper price will likely fluctuate around 86,000 [17]. - **Aluminum**: Shanghai aluminum will maintain a moderately strong long - term trend. In the short - term, weak fundamentals and a lower probability of a December interest rate cut have led to profit - taking by previous funds. It will likely consolidate with an overall higher price center. Alumina has seen price - increasing orders due to environmental restrictions and short - covering, but it is still in an oversupply situation. Cast aluminum alloy has strong follow - up characteristics to Shanghai aluminum and strong downside support [37][38]. - **Zinc**: The expectation of an interest rate cut has cooled. In terms of fundamentals, the smelting end is competing for ore, resulting in a significant decline in November TC. The smelting end's willingness to reduce or halt production has increased in November. If demand remains stable, there is a possibility of inventory reduction. Currently, there are large differences between bulls and bears, and the bottom space can be observed at the end of the month [59]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: The price of ferronickel has continued to decline, breaking below 900 and still falling due to weak downstream demand. Under the situation of a significant collapse in costs, the downside space for nickel and stainless steel is greater than the upside space. Stainless steel spot has high shipment pressure, and downstream purchasing willingness is low. Attention should be paid to the demand trend and Indonesian policy support expectations [75]. - **Tin**: Fundamentally, there is some resumption of production in Yunnan, but due to the lower - than - expected resumption of production in Wa State, the import of concentrate has sharply decreased, and supply is weaker than demand. In the short - term, it is difficult to solve the raw material problem on the supply side, and Shanghai tin will maintain a high - level shock, with support expected around 276,000 yuan [88]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: This week, lithium carbonate production and inventory showed the characteristic of "increasing production and reducing inventory", but the inventory reduction process has significantly slowed down.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The supply - demand pattern of hot - rolled coils has changed. The production of plate steel mills has stabilized, supply has rebounded and is at a high level within the year with high inventory pressure. Demand has improved but the improvement space is limited due to unresolved downstream cold - rolling contradictions and stable external demand. The supply - demand pattern has improved slightly, inventory has been reduced again, but the supply pressure remains and demand resilience is doubtful. The fundamentals' improvement is limited, and the positive effect is weak. The relative advantage is the low valuation, and the price is expected to continue to fluctuate at a low level. Attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [1] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Supply - The weekly output of hot - rolled coils is 316.01 tons, with a week - on - week increase of 2.35 tons, and a month - on - month decrease of 7.55 tons. The weekly output of cold - rolled coils is 84.53 tons, with a week - on - week increase of 0.57 tons and a month - on - month decrease of 1.44 tons. The blast furnace capacity utilization rate is 88.58%, with a week - on - week decrease of 0.22% and a month - on - month decrease of 0.03% [1] Demand - The apparent weekly demand for hot - rolled coils is 324.42 tons, with a week - on - week increase of 10.83 tons and a month - on - month decrease of 7.47 tons. The downstream cold - rolling contradictions are not resolved, and the external demand is mainly stable, so the demand improvement space is limited [1] Inventory - The total inventory of hot - rolled coils is 402.11 tons, with a week - on - week decrease of 8.41 tons and a month - on - month decrease of 4.48 tons. The in - plant inventory is 78.02 tons, with a week - on - week increase of 0.50 tons and a month - on - month increase of 0.36 tons. The social inventory is 324.09 tons, with a week - on - week decrease of 8.91 tons and a month - on - month decrease of 4.84 tons [1]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "oscillation" [5] Core View of the Report - Currently, the supply - demand situation in the industry is marginally weakening, in line with off - season characteristics. The fundamental pattern is expected to continue, with limited trend guidance for prices. In the short term, the market will maintain an oscillatory trend. If there are more positive macro and policy signals later, there may be phased upward opportunities [5] Summary by Directory 1. Iron Element - Overseas mine shipments have increased significantly on a month - on - month basis, and the arrival volume has continued to decline after peaking. Port inventories have decreased slightly. Small - sample hot metal production has slightly decreased, and large - scale maintenance has not occurred. In the short term, hot metal is expected to be supported, and iron ore restocking demand is expected to be released, so iron ore prices are firm. Scrap steel has a weak supply - demand situation, and its spot price is expected to fluctuate with finished products in the short term [1] 2. Carbon Element - After the lifting of environmental protection restrictions, steel mills are still actively producing, and coke demand is still supported. However, cost support has weakened. After four rounds of price increases, coke is in a dilemma of rising or falling, and its futures price is expected to fluctuate with coking coal. Coking coal supply is expected to remain weak. Mongolian coal imports may remain at a high level but with limited replenishment. Although downstream procurement is gradually slowing down, the fundamentals are still healthy, and spot coal prices are strongly supported. However, the futures price is still suppressed by finished products, and the warehouse receipt pressure is still large, with a small possibility of further significant decline [2] 3. Alloys - In the short term, the firm cost supports the price of ferromanganese silicon, but the market supply - demand is loose, and there is insufficient driving force for price increases. The firm cost also supports the price of ferrosilicon, but the supply - demand relationship is loose, and the price has insufficient upward driving force. It is expected to run around the cost at a low level [2] 4. Glass and Soda Ash - Supply still has disturbance expectations, but the mid - and downstream inventories are moderately high. Fundamentally, the current supply - demand is still in surplus. If there is no more cold repair by the end of the year, high inventories will always suppress prices, and prices are expected to oscillate weakly. Otherwise, prices will rise. The cost of the soda ash industry has increased, with obvious bottom support. However, the surplus supply - demand pattern always suppresses price increases. Recently, the decline in glass prices has dragged down soda ash prices, which are expected to oscillate in the short term. In the long run, the surplus supply pattern will intensify, and the price center will decline, promoting capacity reduction [2] 5. Specific Product Analysis Steel - The spot market trading is weak, mainly with low - price transactions. Steel mill profits are poor, and production has decreased significantly. Construction site funds have increased slightly, and demand shows some resilience after the off - season decline. Steel inventories are still higher than the same period last year, and there are still fundamental contradictions. It is expected to oscillate widely [7][9] Iron Ore - Port trading volume has increased. Spot prices are oscillating. Overseas mine shipments have increased, and the arrival volume has decreased. Hot metal is expected to be supported in the short term, but there is a seasonal weakening expectation. Inventories are expected to accumulate. It is expected to oscillate strongly in the short term [7][9] Scrap Steel - Supply and demand are both weak. After the price decline, the cost - performance ratio has recovered, and the downward space is limited. It is expected to fluctuate with finished products [8] Coke - The futures price is under pressure and oscillating. The spot price is stable. Supply is temporarily stable, and demand is still supported. Inventories are low. It is expected to follow coking coal to oscillate [8][11][12] Coking Coal - The market sentiment is poor, and the futures price is under pressure and oscillating. Supply recovery is slow, and imports are at a high level but with limited replenishment. The fundamentals are healthy, and the spot price is strongly supported. The futures price is suppressed by finished products, and the warehouse receipt pressure is large. It is less likely to fall significantly, and attention can be paid to the winter storage situation in the industrial chain [13] Glass - Macro is neutral. Supply is expected to decline due to possible cold repair at the end of the year. Demand is weak, and mid - and downstream inventories are high, suppressing the price. If there is no more cold repair, it is expected to oscillate weakly; otherwise, the price will rise [13] Soda Ash - Macro is neutral. Production has decreased due to maintenance. Demand is weakening. The cost has increased, with obvious bottom support. The supply - demand surplus suppresses price increases. It is expected to oscillate in the short term and decline in the long run [14] Ferromanganese Silicon - The futures price has declined due to the weakening of coking coal and coke. The spot price is stable. The cost is supported, but the supply - demand is loose, and the upward pressure is large. It is expected to run around the cost at a low level [17] Ferrosilicon - The futures price is oscillating at a low level. The spot market trading is average. The cost is supported, but the supply - demand is loose, and the upward driving force is insufficient. It is expected to run around the cost at a low level [18]
