[2][8] - The valuation of 04 is moderately high, but in the short term, it may follow the spot market or recover the basis. Attention should be paid to shorting opportunities in the near - term continuous high. The far - month contracts are greatly affected by geopolitical factors. Shorting off - season contracts is safer than shorting peak - season contracts. Overall, a positive spread strategy should be adopted, and attention should be paid to shorting opportunities in the 10 contract.

The spot discount to the main contract widened to 6875 yuan/ton. - New maintenance plans were reported at northwest manufacturers. As the newly produced products were locked by previous hedging orders, the overall pressure on manufacturers was not significant. There is an expectation of further environmental protection - related production cuts in the northwest at the end of the year. Industrial silicon is expected to maintain a strong short - term trend due to production cuts and the boost from polycrystalline silicon. - Silicon factories significantly raised their spot prices, while some consulting websites insisted on stable price announcements. Affected by the continuous rise in silver prices, the prices of full - size solar cells and silicon wafers increased. Downstream producers face certain production cut pressure under the new quota requirements of the association. - The exchange increased the minimum opening position, leading to a narrow correction in the futures market. Supported by the news of state reserves and limited newly registered warehouse receipts, the narrowing range of the futures premium against the spot was limited. [2] 3.

1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The propylene market faces continuous supply pressure and weakens in a volatile manner. The overall propylene production remains high, and the supply pressure persists. Although the overall downstream operation has slightly increased, the cost pressure restricts the demand recovery, and the demand support is limited. Recently, the cost - end support has strengthened, and attention should be paid to the shutdown of PDH plants in the future [2] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Market News and Key Data - **Propylene**: The closing price of the propylene main contract is 5,632 yuan/ton (-15), the spot price in East China is 5,850 yuan/ton (-75), the spot price in North China is 5,810 yuan/ton (-80), the basis in East China is 218 yuan/ton (-60), the basis in North China is -114 yuan/ton (-118), the operating rate is 74% (+0%), the difference between China's propylene CFR and Japan's naphtha CFR is 202 US dollars/ton (-9), the difference between propylene CFR and 1.2 propane CFR is 50 US dollars/ton (-4), the import profit is -320 yuan/ton (+4), and the in - plant inventory is 46,560 tons (+600) [1] - **Propylene Downstream**: The operating rate of PP powder is 37% (-2.62%), and the production profit is -80 yuan/ton (+80); the operating rate of propylene oxide is 76% (+0%), and the production profit is -276 yuan/ton (-30); the operating rate of n - butanol is 78% (+9%), and the production profit is 336 yuan/ton (+100); the operating rate of octanol is 82% (+5%), and the production profit is 545 yuan/ton (+58); the operating rate of acrylic acid is 79% (+0%), and the production profit is 372 yuan/ton (+28); the operating rate of acrylonitrile is 81% (+0%), and the production profit is -466 yuan/ton (+91); the operating rate of phenol - acetone is 76% (-4%), and the production profit is -902 yuan/ton (+25) [1] 3.2 Market Analysis - **Supply Side**: The overall propylene production remains at a high level. The short - term loss and maintenance of PDH are not obvious, and some integrated enterprises stop PP production and release propylene. The commercial sales volume of propylene may continue to increase, and the supply pressure persists [2] - **Demand Side**: The overall downstream operation has slightly increased. Among them, the operating rate of butanol - octanol has increased the most due to the restart of maintenance plants, while the operating rate of phenol - acetone has decreased significantly. Due to serious profit inversion, the main PP powder plants have reduced production or stopped production, and the operating rate of the main downstream PP powder has continued to decline. The operating rate of propylene oxide remains stable. In the future, the cost pressure on the downstream will still restrict the demand recovery, and the demand support for propylene is limited [2] - **Cost Side**: The international oil price has rebounded recently, and the price of propane in the overseas market has also increased. Recently, the cost - end support has strengthened, and attention should be paid to the shutdown of PDH plants [2] 3.3 Strategy - **Unilateral**: Adopt a wait - and - see attitude. As the supply and demand remain loose and the downstream support weakens, the market will mainly fluctuate weakly in the short term. Wait for marginal plant maintenance [3] - **Inter - period**: No strategy provided - **Inter - variety**: No strategy provided

新能源及有色金属日报:印尼事件持续刺激,镍不锈钢维持反弹-20251224
Hua Tai Qi Huo· 2025-12-24 05:10
Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The nickel and stainless steel markets are experiencing a rebound due to the continuous stimulation of events in Indonesia. For nickel, the short - term is in a strong atmosphere, but the long - term supply surplus pattern remains. For stainless steel, the short - term price may fluctuate with nickel prices, and the medium - to - long - term needs to focus on the resolution of supply - demand contradictions [1][3][5] Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Variety Market Analysis - **Futures**: On December 23, 2025, the main contract of Shanghai nickel 2602 opened at 120,280 yuan/ton and closed at 123,440 yuan/ton, a change of 3.92% from the previous trading day's closing price. The trading volume was 386,986 (+190,610) lots, and the holding volume was 134,454 (+21,822) lots. The price showed a trend of increasing volume, increasing positions, and strong upward movement, driven by the fermentation of news of a significant reduction in Indonesia's nickel ore quota, combined with the drive of the external market and the entry of long - position funds. Attention should be paid to the details of Indonesia's quota policy implementation and the progress of the revision of the 2026 mineral benchmark price calculation formula [1] - **Nickel Ore**: According to Mysteel, recent new tender transactions in the nickel ore market have landed, and the overall nickel ore price has remained stable. The 1.3% nickel ore in southern China was transacted at CIF $39.5. In the Philippines, the 1.3% nickel ore tender from the northern Benguet mine landed at FOB $33.5. Considering the impact of rainy weather, the shipping efficiency is okay. Downstream iron plants are still in a profit - loss state, and their mentality of pressing prices for raw material nickel ore purchases may slow down. In Indonesia, the second - phase domestic trade benchmark price in December fell by $0.11 - 0.18/ton, and the current mainstream premium remains at +25, with the premium range mostly between +25 - 26, expected to remain flat [1] - **Spot**: Jinchuan Group's sales price in the Shanghai market was 128,400 yuan/ton, an increase of 3,500 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. Spot trading was still cold, and downstream buyers were cautious. The spot premiums and discounts of various refined nickel brands mostly remained stable. Among them, the premium of Jinchuan nickel changed by 200 yuan/ton to 6,900 yuan/ton, the premium of imported nickel changed by 0 yuan/ton to 400 yuan/ton, and the premium of nickel beans was 2,450 yuan/ton. The previous trading day's Shanghai nickel warehouse receipt volume was 38,922 (+1,320) tons, and the LME nickel inventory was 254,388 (-162) tons [2] Strategy - In the short term, affected by news, the fundamentals show high inventory and an unchanged pattern of oversupply. Be vigilant against callbacks caused by rapid short - term price increases. The strategy for the single - side operation is to sell hedging on rallies. There are no strategies for inter - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options operations [3] Stainless Steel Variety Market Analysis - **Futures**: On December 23, 2025, the main contract of stainless steel 2602 opened at 12,840 yuan/ton and closed at 12,905 yuan/ton. The trading volume was 168,990 (-497) lots, and the holding volume was 100,771 (-4,171) lots. The contract showed a pattern of "passively following the rise, increasing volume and decreasing positions", driven by the strong rise of Shanghai nickel and breaking through important resistance levels technically [3] - **Spot**: The futures market weakened, downstream procurement enthusiasm was not high, and they mainly purchased on - demand. Inventory depletion slowed down. The stainless steel price in the Wuxi market was 12,975 (+75) yuan/ton, and in the Foshan market was 12,950 (+50) yuan/ton.
