Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided about the industry investment rating in the given content. Core Views - For aluminum, the short - term view is that it will run strongly within the range of 20400 - 20700, and the medium - term view is that it will run at a high level within the range of 19200 - 21000. The recommended strategy is to sell AL2508 - P - 19300 [1]. - For steel products (including rebar and hot - rolled coil), the short - term view is that steel prices will run weakly, and the medium - term view is that there is still a downward driving force for steel prices. The recommended strategies are to sell the out - of - the - money call options of rebar RB2510 (exercise price 3150 - 3450) and buy the at - the - money put options of rebar RB2510 [4]. Summary by Categories Aluminum - The supply side provides strong support for aluminum prices. In 2017, the supply - side reform set the upper limit of China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity at 45 million tons. As of May 2025, the operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum in China was 44.139 million tons, with very limited room for capacity increase [1]. - The current inventory is at the lowest level in the same period of the past 5 years, which is favorable for aluminum prices. As of June 23, the social inventory of electrolytic aluminum in 5 regions was 465,000 tons, an increase of 18,000 tons from last week, while the inventory in the same period last year was 764,000 tons [1]. - The good performance of the automobile market is also favorable for aluminum prices. From January to May, the production and sales of automobiles were 12.826 million and 12.748 million respectively, with year - on - year increases of 12.7% and 10.9% [1]. - The general rise of non - ferrous metals boosts aluminum prices [2]. Steel Products (Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil) - The overall pressure on the raw material inventory of steel products is still large. This week, the inventory of imported iron ore in 45 ports was 139.6802 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 873,800 tons. The low - grade ore in the tradable inventory of ports is at a high level in the same period of the past 5 years. The price of iron ore is expected to be further pressured under the background of increased supply and decreased demand. The inventory of clean coal in sample mines and coal - washing plants is at a high level in the same period of the past 5 years, and the downward pressure on the price of coal and coke still exists. The inventory pressure of furnace materials will be further transformed into incremental supply of finished steel products [4]. - The downstream consumption of steel products is gradually entering the off - season. The demand for building materials is weakening and is lower than in previous years. The overall consumption of the five major steel products is also weaker than in previous years (year - on - year decrease of 2.06%). With the easing of the conflict between Iran and Israel, the driving force for the increase in the price of black - series commodities pushed up by the rise in energy prices has been temporarily alleviated, and there is no strong driving force for a sharp increase in short - term steel prices [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - China's economy shows a stable and positive trend, with the manufacturing PMI marginally rebounding in May, industrial enterprise profit growth continuing to turn positive, the central bank's 1 trillion yuan outright reverse repurchase maintaining a moderately loose tone, and resilient foreign trade exports. However, the trade war impacts the global supply chain and may exacerbate the stagflation risk in the US economy [4][9][53]. - The supply - side improvement is limited, with the operating rate in Xinjiang dropping to 60%, a slight recovery in Inner Mongolia and Gansu, and the southwest region approaching the resumption cycle during the wet season. Social inventory shows a slight decline, and the decrease in warehouse receipt inventory is mainly due to the monthly decrease in domestic production [4][53]. - On the demand side, polysilicon enterprises enter an active production - cut cycle due to shrinking downstream demand. The silicon wafer market orders are weak, battery enterprises engage in panic selling to reduce inventory, and the component market demand weakens significantly after the end of the rush - installation period. In traditional industries, silicone monomer enterprises' production - cut to support prices has little effect, while the aluminum alloy output and processing fees show a slight increase. It is expected that the demand side will still face downward pressure in June, and the supply - side will passively contract, with the oversupply situation difficult to change. Industrial silicon is expected to confirm the stage bottom support [4][55]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 2025 May Industrial Silicon Market Review - **Industrial Silicon Futures Price Continues to Reach Bottom**: In May 2025, industrial silicon showed a volatile downward trend. The main 2507 contract traded between 7130 - 8500 yuan/ton, with the price center moving down. The overall sentiment in the photovoltaic industry chain was weak, and the demand faced significant downward pressure. The traditional industries of silicone and aluminum alloy also had weak demand. By May 30, the main 2507 contract closed at 7160 yuan/ton, with a monthly decline of 16.1% [9]. - **Spot Market Continues to Decline**: By the end of May, the overall furnace - opening rate of industrial silicon decreased to 27.3%. The social inventory decreased slightly to 58.9 tons due to the decline in absolute production in May. The demand in traditional industries and the photovoltaic industry decreased, making it difficult for the supply - side to resume production strongly. The spot prices of mainstream grades such as 553 continued to decline, and it is expected that the prices of domestic mainstream grades will have limited rebound space in June [12][13]. Macroeconomic Analysis - **China's Foreign Trade Exports are Resilient, and Industrial Enterprise Profits in April Accelerate to Turn Positive**: In April, China's total foreign trade export value reached 535.2 billion US dollars, with exports increasing by 8.1% year - on - year. ASEAN has become China's largest trading partner from January to April. The profits of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 1.4% year - on - year from January to April, and the equipment manufacturing industry's profit growth was prominent [18][19]. Fundamental Analysis - **Limited Recovery of Northern Production Capacity, and Sichuan and Yunnan are Approaching the Resumption Period during the Wet Season**: In May, the industrial silicon output decreased by 3.6% month - on - month to 305,000 tons. The production capacity recovery in the north was limited, while Sichuan and Yunnan were approaching the resumption time window during the wet season. It is expected that the operating rate of the industrial silicon industry will rebound from a low level in June [21]. - **Expected Stable Export Volume in June**: From January to April, the cumulative export volume of industrial silicon was 216,700 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 7%. It is expected that the export volume from May to June will remain stable at 60,000 - 70,000 tons [31]. - **High - level Social Inventory in May**: By May 30, the social inventory decreased slightly to 589,000 tons, and the warehouse receipt inventory decreased by 8.6% month - on - month. It is expected that the social inventory will continue to decline steadily in June [34]. - **Photovoltaic Industry Chain Enters a Contraction Cycle, and Silicone Industry's Price - Cutting to Reduce Inventory Becomes the Mainstream**: In May, the polysilicon output decreased by 4.3% month - on - month, and the prices of silicon wafers, batteries, and components all declined. The silicon wafer market orders were weak, and the component market price reached a new low. The silicone DMC output increased slightly in May, and it is expected that the price will maintain a weak oscillation at a low level. The aluminum alloy output and processing fees increased slightly in May, but it is expected that the output will be difficult to grow significantly in June [36][38][39]. Market Outlook - The macro - economic situation is stable and positive in China, but the trade war impacts the global economy. The supply - side improvement is limited, and the demand - side pressure remains. Industrial silicon is expected to confirm the stage bottom support [4][53][55].
