The demand for rebar has a seasonal rebound, but the supply has also increased. The fundamentals have not improved under the situation of both supply and demand increasing, and the pressure of inventory reduction remains. Supported by market sentiment and cost, the rebar price is expected to stabilize in a volatile manner. Attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated upwards, with a daily increase of 1.45%. The market sentiment has improved, and the price of hot - rolled coil has rebounded from a low level. However, the supply pressure remains, and there are concerns about demand. With cost support, the price is expected to continue the volatile and stable trend, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [4]. - The main contract price of iron ore strengthened, with a daily increase of 1.94%. The market sentiment has improved, and the iron ore price has rebounded from a low level. However, the supply of iron ore is at a high level, while the demand continues to weaken. The fundamentals of iron ore are not good under the situation of strong supply and weak demand. The high - valued iron ore price is still prone to pressure. The iron ore price is expected to continue to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the performance of finished steel [4].

Core Viewpoint - The main focus of the news is the recent surge in the futures price of 20 rubber, which reached a peak of 12,650.00 yuan, closing at 12,505.00 yuan with a gain of 0.93% on October 24 [1]. Group 1: Market Analysis - The overall rubber market is expected to experience wide fluctuations, with the recent fundamentals remaining relatively stable. The import data from September has contradicted the logic of production area reductions, and there is a clear expectation of increased supply in the fourth quarter, while demand remains strong due to tire exports and operational rates [2]. - Short-term price movements for rubber are anticipated to be volatile, as supply is gradually being released with the ongoing rubber tapping. However, the demand side is expected to provide limited support. Weather conditions in production areas are a key concern, as adverse weather could disrupt tapping schedules and impact production levels [3]. - There is a decreasing trend in rubber inventory in China, with continuous declines in warehouse receipts, which serves as a medium-term support for rubber prices. The easing of macroeconomic pressures and increased tire production rates are driving the market upward [4].

Report Summary 1. Report Information - Research Variety: Industrial silicon [1] - Report Cycle: Daily report [1] - Date: October 9, 2025 [1] 2. Investment Rating - Not provided 3. Core View - The industry is in a pattern of increasing supply and demand, but inventory depletion has significantly slowed down, and there are signs of inventory accumulation, indicating that the fundamentals have turned loose. Considering the different supply changes in the two major production areas and the uncertainty of the demand for polysilicon in the core consumption direction, there is no obvious unilateral driver in the market, and the futures price may fluctuate around the cost line [10]. 4. Section Summaries 4.1 Futures Market - **Contract Market**: On October 9, 2025, the industrial silicon si2511 contract rose and then fell, closing with a negative line. The trading volume decreased significantly, with a full - day trading volume of 210,531 lots and an open interest of 176,563 lots [2]. - **Variety Price**: The total open interest of 12 industrial silicon futures contracts was 407,790 lots, an increase of 8,057 lots compared with the previous trading day. Among them, the open interest of the active contract si2511 increased by 2,165 lots [4]. 4.2 Influencing Factors - **Industry News**: In the southwest production area, as the wet season is coming to an end, the smelting electricity price is facing an increase, leading to higher production costs. In the north production area, the electricity price is relatively stable throughout the year due to the use of coal - fired power. After the anti - involution, the profit is acceptable. Against the background of the planned production cut in the southwest, large factories in Xinjiang may have the expectation of further increasing production, which makes the market worried that the supply is unlikely to decline significantly [6]. - **Technical Analysis**: The industrial silicon futures rose and then fell today. The main 2511 contract formed a doji pattern with long upper and lower shadows. The trading volume decreased significantly, and the open interest increased slightly. Both the long and short sides continued to wait and see. From the daily chart, the futures price formed a doji pattern with long upper and lower shadows below the 50 - day moving average. It is expected that the market will fluctuate weakly in the future [7]. 4.3 Market Outlook - The industry is in a situation of increasing supply and demand, but inventory depletion has slowed down, and there are signs of inventory accumulation. The fundamentals have become looser. Given the different supply changes in the two major production areas and the uncertain demand for polysilicon, there is no clear one - way driving force in the market, and the futures price may fluctuate around the cost line [10].

Core Viewpoint - The domestic futures market for energy and chemicals is experiencing a decline, particularly in asphalt futures, which have dropped significantly due to geopolitical risks and supply concerns [1] Supply Side - Asphalt operating rate decreased by 1.4 percentage points week-on-week to 29.3%, but is still 3.8 percentage points higher than the same period last year [1] - Domestic asphalt production in September is expected to be 2.686 million tons, an increase of 273,000 tons month-on-month (11.3% increase) and a year-on-year increase of 683,000 tons (34.1% increase) [1] Demand Side - Improved weather in South China and market sentiment have led to better trading atmosphere and increased delivery volumes in key storage areas for asphalt [1] Market Outlook - The fundamental drivers for asphalt are weak, with both supply and demand increasing, leading to a stable low-price trend in the market. Future price movements are expected to be primarily influenced by international crude oil fluctuations [1]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - The fundamentals of industrial silicon show both supply and demand increases, but the inventory pressure remains high. In the short - term, affected by macro - sentiment fluctuations and the driving force of polysilicon, the silicon price is expected to remain at a high level, with an operating range of 8,000 - 10,000 yuan/ton [3]. - The fundamentals of polysilicon present a situation of strong supply and weak demand. However, due to anti - involution and supply reform, the quotes of holders are firm, and the bullish sentiment is still strong.
