The Shanghai tin price is expected to be weak first and then strong. Investors are advised to mainly buy on price dips, paying attention to support and resistance levels [3]. Summary by Directory Part 1: Spread and Inventory Situation - The basis of Shanghai tin is positive and the monthly spread is negative, both within a reasonable range. Due to the Fed's future interest rate cut and halt of balance - sheet reduction expectations and the slow resumption of tin mines in Wa State, Myanmar, investors are advised to wait and see for arbitrage opportunities [7][9] - The (0 - 3) contract spread of LME tin is negative and the (3 - 15) contract spread is positive, both within a reasonable range. The Shanghai - London tin price ratio is below the 50% quantile of the past five years. Due to the Fed's expectations and the decreasing inventory of refined tin in LME, investors are advised to wait and see for arbitrage opportunities [10] - The inventory of refined tin in SHFE decreased compared with last week; the social inventory of tin ingots in China decreased compared with last week; the inventory of refined tin in LME increased compared with last week; the total inventory of refined tin at home and abroad decreased compared with last week [12] Part 2: Mid - upstream Supply Situation - The daily processing fee of domestic tin concentrate is oscillating downward, indicating a tight supply expectation of domestic tin mines [18][19] - The production (import) volume of Chinese tin mines in October increased (increased) month - on - month. Factors include the resumption of mines in Myanmar, Indonesia's mine policies, and the situation in other countries [21][23] - The production volume of Chinese recycled tin in October increased month - on - month [24][25] - The capacity utilization rate of Chinese refined tin increased compared with last week. The production (inventory) volume of Chinese refined tin in October increased (decreased) month - on - month [26][28] - The import volume of Chinese refined tin in October may increase month - on - month due to the production plans of foreign mines and export forecasts [29][31] Part 3: Downstream Demand Situation - The daily processing fee of photovoltaic solder strips decreased month - on - month, which may lead to an increase in the capacity utilization rate (inventory) of Chinese tin solder in October [35] - The import (export) volume of Chinese solder strips in October may decrease month - on - month [38][40] - The production (import, export) volume of Chinese tin - plated sheets in October may increase (decrease, decrease) month - on - month [41][43] - The capacity utilization rate of Chinese lead - acid batteries increased compared with last week. As tin is an important additive in lead - acid batteries, this may affect tin demand [44][46]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints - The expectation of the Fed's future interest rate cuts and halt to balance sheet reduction, along with the uncertainty of whether China and the US will impose additional tariffs, and the resumption of tin mines in Wa State, Myanmar, which may not change the tight supply - demand situation, could lead to wide - range fluctuations in Shanghai tin prices. It is recommended that investors mainly wait for price drops to establish long positions, and pay attention to the support and resistance levels of Shanghai tin at around 260,000 - 265,000 and 290,000 - 300,000 respectively, and those of London tin at around 33,000 - 35,000 and 38,000 - 40,000 respectively [3] Summary by Directory Part 1: Spread and Inventory Situation - The basis of Shanghai tin is positive and the monthly spread is negative, both basically within a reasonable range. This is due to the expectation of the Fed's future interest rate cuts and halt to balance sheet reduction, the tight domestic tin ore supply - demand situation, and the resumption expectation of tin mines in Wa State, Myanmar. It is recommended that investors temporarily wait and see for arbitrage opportunities [7][9] - The spread of the LME tin (0 - 3) contract is negative and the (3 - 15) contract spread is positive, both basically within a reasonable range. The ratio of Shanghai - London tin price is lower than the 50% quantile of the past five years. This is due to the expectation of the Fed's future interest rate cuts and halt to balance sheet reduction, and the decreasing inventory of refined tin in the LME. It is recommended to temporarily wait and see for arbitrage opportunities in the spreads of LME tin (0 - 3) and (3 - 15) contracts [11] - The inventory of refined tin in the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the social inventory of tin ingots in China, the inventory of refined tin in the LME, and the total inventory of refined tin at home and abroad have all decreased compared to last week [13] Part 2: Mid - upstream Supply Situation - The daily processing fee of domestic tin concentrates has been oscillating downward, indicating a tight supply expectation of domestic tin ore [19][20] - Multiple factors such as the closure of illegal tin mines in Indonesia, the commissioning of a new plant in Namibia, the resumption of mines in Myanmar and Congo, and the suspension of tin ore transit exports in Thailand may lead to a month - on - month increase in the production and import volume of domestic tin ore in October [22] - The production volume of recycled tin in China in October may increase month - on - month [24] - The capacity utilization rate of refined tin in Yunnan and China (Jiangxi) has increased (remained flat) compared to last week. Yunnan Tin will conduct maintenance on its smelting equipment from August 30 for no more than 45 days. The production (inventory) volume of Chinese refined tin in October may increase (decrease) month - on - month [28] - The import volume of Chinese refined tin in October may increase month - on - month. The new tin smelter in the US and the planned production and export increase in Indonesia are the reasons [29][31] Part 3: Downstream Demand Situation - The daily processing fee of photovoltaic solder strips has decreased month - on - month, which may lead to a month - on - month increase in the capacity utilization rate (inventory) of Chinese tin solder in October [35] - The import (export) volume of Chinese solder strips in October may decrease month - on - month [38][40] - The production volume of Chinese tin - plated sheets in October may increase month - on - month, while the import and export volumes may decrease month - on - month [43] - The capacity utilization rate of Chinese lead - acid batteries has increased compared to last week. Since tin is an important additive in lead - acid batteries, this may also affect the demand for tin [44][46]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The macro - environment is relatively optimistic, and there is support at the lower end of aluminum prices [1]. - In the fourth quarter, the macro sentiment at home and abroad is positive, providing price support for non - ferrous metals [66]. - For electrolytic aluminum, supply will have a small increase, and the price will first rise and then fall, with the upper pressure at 22,000 and the lower support at 20,000. Attention should be paid to the demand - side support [68]. - The short - term supply - demand fundamentals of aluminum alloy change little, and its price still fluctuates with the aluminum price. It is recommended to take a long - position on dips [68]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Review - The electrolytic aluminum price showed a three - stage trend in the current period. From January to mid - March, it oscillated upward due to factors such as the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation, Trump's assumption of office, and pre - holiday stocking demand. From late March to early April, it oscillated downward as the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation faded and concerns about Trump's tariff policy emerged. From mid - April to the present, it oscillated upward after the US tariff policy was implemented and counter - measures were taken in China, along with other factors like supply disturbances from Guinea's bauxite and the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation [6]. 2. Macro - aspect - The Fed restarted interest - rate cuts, and liquidity became more relaxed. The US economic data showed changes in employment, inflation, etc. The tariff impact was temporarily alleviated, and attention should be paid to the time point in November. China's anti - involution policy was advanced, and future inflation might stabilize and rebound [8][10][14]. 3. Fundamental Aspect Supply - side - **Bauxite**: In July, China's bauxite production increased year - on - year. Guinea's supply was disturbed, but the impact was expected to be limited. The domestic port inventory was high, suppressing the transaction price. The bauxite price might have a seasonal correction but had support at 70 dollars/ton [18][22][24]. - **Alumina**: The supply was loose. In 2025, there was a large - scale new - investment capacity. Although some projects were postponed, there was still 440 million tons of new - investment capacity in the fourth quarter. The production capacity utilization rate was at a historical high, but there might be seasonal production cuts in winter in Shanxi and Henan [25][27]. - **Electrolytic Aluminum**: In August, the production was 3.8 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 0.5%. In the fourth quarter, the production was expected to be about 11.283 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.4% and a year - on - year increase of 2.39%, showing a stable operation [30]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: In July, the import volume of un - forged aluminum alloy hit a four - year low, mainly due to price inversion and the off - season of demand. The export volume increased year - on - year. The weekly inventory of Chinese aluminum alloy increased [59][60][64]. Demand - side - **Downstream Processing**: As of September 18, the operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream processing leading enterprises increased by 0.1 percentage points to 62.2% week - on - week, but decreased by 1.3 percentage points compared with the same period last year. Different sectors had different trends [31]. - **Export**: In August, China's export of un - forged aluminum and aluminum products was 530,000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 10.2%. From January to August, the cumulative export was 4 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 8.2%. The export was under pressure due to tariff policies [34]. - **New Energy**: In the photovoltaic field, the annual photovoltaic installation was expected to increase year - on - year, and the photovoltaic aluminum consumption in the fourth quarter was expected to decrease year - on - year but still maintain positive growth for the whole year. In the power grid field, the cable aluminum demand continued to grow, and it was expected to maintain high - growth in the fourth quarter [39]. - **Automobile**: In August, the production and sales of automobiles and new - energy vehicles increased both month - on - month and year - on - year. The demand for aluminum in the automobile industry increased significantly, and new - energy vehicles were expected to drive aluminum consumption in the fourth quarter [46]. - **Real Estate**: In August, the real - estate sales, investment, new construction, and completion areas decreased year - on - year. However, the new policies in first - tier cities might support the market demand, and the new - house transaction area in 38 cities increased year - on - year in early September [41]. Inventory - As of September 19, the inventory of SHFE electrolytic aluminum decreased slightly, LME inventory increased, and COMEX inventory decreased slightly. The overall inventory was in a low position historically. The social inventory of electrolytic aluminum was expected to show a "slow de - stocking" pattern in the fourth quarter [48][51]. - The production of recycled aluminum alloy decreased slightly in August and was expected to continue to decline slightly in September. The operating rate of recycled aluminum alloy increased by 0.4 percentage points week - on - week as of September 18, and it was expected to remain stable in September [54][57]. 4. Future Outlook - The macro - environment is favorable for non - ferrous metals. The bauxite price may have a seasonal correction but has support. The alumina supply is in surplus, and the electrolytic aluminum price will first rise and then fall. The aluminum alloy price fluctuates with the aluminum price [66][68].

Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not provide information on the report's industry investment rating. Core View of the Report Benefiting from the 90-day extension of the China-US trade tariff negotiations, the increasing expectation of a Fed rate cut in September, and better-than-expected new car sales in the rubber market's downstream, the domestic rubber futures sector showed a volatile and upward trend in August 2025. The macro environment remains favorable, and the supply-demand structure of the domestic rubber futures market has improved. It is expected that the rubber futures may maintain a volatile and upward trend in the future, with the performance of Shanghai rubber and standard rubber being stronger than that of synthetic rubber overall [6][7][140]. Summary by Directory 1. Review of the Domestic Rubber Futures Trend in August 2025 In August 2025, the domestic rubber futures sector showed a volatile and upward trend. The Shanghai rubber futures 2601 contract rose from 15,075 yuan/ton to around 15,900 yuan/ton, with a cumulative increase of 5.42%. The standard rubber futures 2510 contract rose from 12,090 yuan/ton to around 12,800 yuan/ton, with a cumulative increase of 5.87%. The synthetic rubber futures 2510 contract rose from 11,320 yuan/ton to around 12,000 yuan/ton, with a cumulative increase of 6.00% [6][11]. 2. Improvement in the Macro Environment and Increasing Expectation of a Fed Rate Cut In August 2025, the overseas macro environment remained optimistic. The short-term China-US tariff risk was temporarily removed. Trump's nomination of Fed officials and the current inflation and employment data in the US indicate that the Fed is likely to cut interest rates twice by 25 basis points each this year. The probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September is as high as 91.5% [22][23][24]. 3. Stable Growth of the Domestic Economy in July 2025 In July 2025, the national economy maintained a stable and progressive development trend. Although the manufacturing PMI declined slightly, other economic indicators showed positive trends. The total industrial added value above designated size increased by 5.7% year-on-year, and the total retail sales of consumer goods reached 387.8 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 3.7%. The total import and export volume of goods was 3.9102 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 6.7% [37][38][39]. 4. Overseas Rubber Producing Areas in the Peak Harvest Season with Rising Supply Pressure Since 2010, the planting area of natural rubber in Southeast Asian countries has generally increased, but the unit yield has declined due to low rubber prices. According to seasonal patterns, the supply pressure will gradually increase from May to November. In June 2025, the total rubber production of ANRPC member countries was 911,500 tons, a month-on-month increase of 48,800 tons and a year-on-year decrease of 50,000 tons. It is expected that the global natural rubber production may decrease by about 5% in 2025 [62][63][66]. 5. A Significant Increase in the Premium Spread between Shanghai Rubber, Standard Rubber, and Synthetic Rubber In August 2025, the spread between Shanghai rubber, standard rubber, and synthetic rubber widened steadily. The premium of the Shanghai rubber futures main contract over the synthetic futures main contract increased from 2,925 yuan/ton to 4,035 yuan/ton, with a growth rate of 37.95%. It is expected that the spreads between Shanghai rubber and synthetic rubber, and between Shanghai rubber and standard rubber may maintain a high premium in the future [93][94]. 6. Mixed Sales in the Overseas Automobile Market in July 2025 In July 2025, the US automobile sales increased year-on-year, with a total of 1.4072 million vehicles sold, a year-on-year increase of 6.0%. The European automobile market declined slightly in June, with new car registrations decreasing by 5.1% year-on-year. In July, the Japanese automobile sales decreased by 3.6% year-on-year. Overall, the overseas automobile market sales were mixed in July 2025 [97][98]. 7. A Significant Year-on-Year Increase in Domestic Automobile Production and Sales in July 2025 In July 2025, China's automobile production and sales reached 2.591 million and 2.593 million vehicles respectively, with year-on-year increases of 13.3% and 14.7%. From January to July, the production and sales were 18.235 million and 18.269 million vehicles respectively, with year-on-year increases of 12.7% and 12%. It is expected that the domestic automobile market will maintain a growth trend in the second half of 2025 [104][105][108]. 8. A Significant Year-on-Year Increase in Domestic Heavy Truck Sales in July 2025 In July 2025, China's heavy truck sales reached about 83,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of about 42%. From January to July, the cumulative sales were about 622,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of about 11%. It is expected that the heavy truck sales may exceed 1 million vehicles in 2025. New energy heavy trucks continued to lead the market, and natural gas heavy trucks showed signs of recovery [114][116][117]. 9. A Decline in Domestic Tire Production and a Slight Increase in Natural Rubber Imports In July 2025, China's rubber tire outer tube production was 94.364 million pieces, a year-on-year decrease of 7.3%. The tire exports were 66.65 million pieces, a year-on-year increase of 10%. From January to July, China imported a total of 4.709 million tons of natural and synthetic rubber, a year-on-year increase of 20.8%. The social inventory of natural rubber showed a seasonal upward trend [121][122][125]. 10. Summary Looking ahead to September 2025, the macro environment remains favorable, and the supply-demand structure of the domestic rubber futures market has improved. It is expected that the rubber futures may maintain a volatile and upward trend, with the performance of Shanghai rubber and standard rubber being stronger than that of synthetic rubber overall [140].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Short - term Bullish**: Soybean Meal, Rapeseed Meal [1] - **Short - term Bullish (Trend)**: Palm Oil [1] - **Cautiously Bullish**: Cotton, Red Dates, Live Pigs [1] 2. Core Views of the Report - **Soybean Meal**: In a situation where fundamental factors are weak and Sino - US trade tariffs provide cost support, it is advisable to view it as a large - range market. After the hype of events cools down, the price has recently dropped slightly. With the support of Sino - US trade tariffs, it is mainly recommended to go long on dips, but attention should be paid to position and risk control when chasing long positions [1][4]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: Although the global rapeseed output has recovered year - on - year, there is a risk of a reduction in the new - year yield of Canadian rapeseed. High inventory and high warehouse receipts, along with the improvement of Sino - Australian trade, have cooled down the market hype. It is recommended to pay attention to short - term long opportunities on dips and be cautious when chasing long positions [1][6]. - **Palm Oil**: The biodiesel policies of Indonesia and Malaysia are beneficial to the consumption expectations of the palm oil market, and there is purchasing demand from China and India. The fundamental outlook is bullish, and the idea is mainly to go long on dips [1][8]. - **Cotton**: The short - term rhythm of Zhengzhou cotton focuses on the supply problem before the new cotton is listed. The fast de - stocking speed and the lack of import quotas provide support for the bottom. The downstream will enter the "Golden September and Silver October" stocking market, and orders have started to improve. It is recommended to be cautiously bullish, and previous low - position long positions can consider phased profit - taking [1][12]. - **Red Dates**: It is initially estimated that the total output of Xinjiang southern Xinjiang gray dates in the 2025/26 season will be in the range of 50 - 580,000 tons, and the reduction is a foregone conclusion. In the short term, the market hype period around the opening price is relatively long, and the de - stocking speed has accelerated recently. It is recommended to go long on dips [1][15]. - **Live Pigs**: The slaughter rhythm of the breeding end is smooth, and the previous pressure of second - fattening slaughter and the accelerated slaughter rhythm in August still put pressure on the spot end. The "weak reality, strong expectation" situation is still obvious. It is not recommended to blindly short - sell in the short term, and attention can be paid to establishing long positions in the far - month contracts on dips or conducting reverse arbitrage operations around strong contracts [1][18]. 3.
