1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The polyolefin market is characterized by an overall pattern of oscillation and consolidation. The PE market maintains an oscillation and consolidation pattern, while the PP market shows an oscillation and weakening trend in the short - term. The cost support has strengthened slightly, but the upward movement is still restricted by supply - demand factors [3][4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market News and Important Data - **Price and Basis**: The closing price of the L main contract is 6,788 yuan/ton (+28), and that of the PP main contract is 6,460 yuan/ton (+31). The spot prices of LL in North China and East China are 6,800 yuan/ton (+0) and 6,850 yuan/ton (+0) respectively. The spot price of PP in East China is 6,480 yuan/ton (-20). The basis of LL in North China and East China is 12 yuan/ton (-28) and 62 yuan/ton (-28) respectively, and the basis of PP in East China is 20 yuan/ton (-51) [2] - **Upstream Supply**: The PE operating rate is 82.6% (+1.7%), and the PP operating rate is 77.8% (+0.7%) [2] - **Production Profit**: The PE oil - based production profit is 101.2 yuan/ton (-82.1), the PP oil - based production profit is - 488.8 yuan/ton (-82.1), and the PDH - based PP production profit is - 105.8 yuan/ton (+1.9) [2] - **Imports and Exports**: The LL import profit is - 72.5 yuan/ton (+2.5), the PP import profit is - 165.6 yuan/ton (+2.4), and the PP export profit is - 5.7 US dollars/ton (-0.3) [2] - **Downstream Demand**: The operating rate of PE downstream agricultural film is 50.0% (+0.4%), the operating rate of PE downstream packaging film is 50.8% (-0.5%), the operating rate of PP downstream plastic weaving is 44.5% (+0.3%), and the operating rate of PP downstream BOPP film is 62.5% (+0.9%) [2] 3.2 Market Analysis - **PE**: The pattern of strong supply and weak demand persists. The supply pressure is large due to high operating rates, new capacity releases, and some device restarts. The downstream demand is limited, with the agricultural film's demand expected to shrink and the packaging film's operating rate declining. The cost support from oil prices is weak, and PE is expected to maintain an oscillation and consolidation pattern in the short - term [3] - **PP**: There are still supply - demand contradictions. The cost support has strengthened slightly, but the supply surplus pattern remains. The downstream demand has a slow recovery, and the demand support is limited. PP is expected to continue an oscillation and weakening pattern in the short - term, but the downward drive is also limited [4] 3.3 Strategy - **Unilateral**: Adopt a wait - and - see approach; the market may maintain a bottom - oscillation pattern in the short - term [5] - **Inter - delivery Spread**: Consider reverse arbitrage when the L01 - 05 and PP01 - 05 spreads are high [5] - **Inter - commodity Spread**: No relevant strategy provided [5]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - For the nickel market, due to high inventories and a persistent supply - surplus situation, nickel prices are expected to remain in a low - level oscillation. However, frequent disruptions at the mine end suggest that medium - to - long - term price rebounds should be monitored [1][3]. - For the stainless - steel market, as demand recovery falls short of expectations, de - stocking is slow, and cost support is weakening, stainless - steel prices are also likely to stay in a low - level oscillation [3][4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Variety - **Market Analysis** - **Futures**: On November 11, 2025, the Shanghai nickel main contract 2512 opened at 119,780 yuan/ton and closed at 119,380 yuan/ton, down 0.09% from the previous trading day. The trading volume was 69,912 (-12,952) lots, and the open interest was 114,900 (-2,884) lots. In the past month, it had low volatility with an intraday price amplitude of around 1%, indicating a lack of clear market direction due to macro uncertainties and supply - demand contradictions [1]. - **Nickel Ore**: The nickel ore market has been calm with stable prices. There is strong market wait - and - see sentiment, and the supply - demand price gap persists. Factory procurement enthusiasm is low. In the Philippines, some ports in the Surigao mining area are still recovering from typhoon impacts, and a new typhoon in the Zambales mining area may delay shipments by about 3 days. Overall, nickel ore supply remains stable. The price of downstream nickel - iron is falling, and iron factories are reluctant to accept high - priced nickel ore. In Indonesia, the November (Phase II) domestic trade benchmark price is expected to drop by 0.12 - 0.2 dollars/wet ton, and the current mainstream premium is +26, with a premium range of +25 - 27 [1]. - **Spot**: Jinchuan Group's Shanghai market sales price was 123,300 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day.

Stainless - Steel Variety - **Market Analysis** - **Futures**: On November 11, 2025, the stainless - steel main contract 2512 opened at 12,630 yuan/ton and closed at 12,465 yuan/ton. The trading volume was 108,314 (+7,800) lots, and the open interest was 38,421 (-4,171) lots. The contract showed a pattern of opening high and closing low. Fundamentally, there were few changes. The implementation of upstream production cuts was in doubt, the production of 300 - series stainless steel remained high, downstream demand did not improve, and de - stocking was slow. Coupled with the overall decline of the black - metal sector, stainless - steel prices trended downward in an oscillatory manner [3]. - **Spot**: Market confidence was further hit. Some traders continued to lower their quotes, but there was no improvement in transactions. Due to high previous purchase prices, the price - cut space for traders is expected to be limited. The stainless - steel price in the Wuxi market was 12,850 (+0) yuan/ton, and in the Foshan market, it was also 12,850 (+0) yuan/ton. The 304/2B premium was 310 - 610 yuan/ton.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Views Copper - After the expectations of interest rate cuts and tariff benefits are realized, the short - term driving force is weak, and copper prices oscillated yesterday. In the medium - to - long - term, the supply - demand contradiction supports the upward shift of the bottom center of copper prices, but short - term sharp increases restrain demand. The subsequent focus is on marginal changes in demand and Sino - US tariff situations, with the main contract supported at 86000 - 86500 [1]. Aluminum - Cost support shows signs of bottoming, but the industry's profit space has shrunk significantly, and about 30% of production capacity is facing losses. The short - term aluminum price will fluctuate between event - driven factors and weak reality. It is necessary to be vigilant about the risk of a callback to the 20500 - 20800 yuan/ton range [3]. Alumina - It is expected that the alumina price will continue to maintain a weak oscillation. The main contract is expected to be in a weak position. It is necessary to pay attention to the supply in Guinea, domestic environmental policies, and inventory changes [3]. Casting Aluminum Alloy - Casting aluminum alloy prices are expected to maintain a strong oscillation, with the main contract reference range of 20400 - 21000 yuan/ton. The subsequent focus is on scrap aluminum supply, procurement costs, and inventory reduction [5]. Zinc - Against the backdrop of concerns about a squeeze on LME zinc, Shanghai zinc oscillated strongly. In the short - term, zinc prices will oscillate strongly, but the fundamentals provide limited upward momentum. The main contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 22300 - 23000 [9]. Tin - Considering the strong fundamentals, a strategy of buying on dips is recommended. The subsequent focus is on macro changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter [11]. Nickel - The nickel price is expected to oscillate in the range of 118000 - 126000. The subsequent focus is on the RKAB approval in Indonesia in 2026 [13]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel price is expected to oscillate weakly in the short - term, with the main contract reference range of 12500 - 13000. The subsequent focus is on macro expectations and steel mill supply [14]. Lithium Carbonate - In November, the supply - demand change is expected to be limited. The price is expected to oscillate widely, with the main contract reference range of 80000 - 85000 yuan/ton. The current variable lies in whether there will be new information from the mining end [17].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints Copper - After interest rate cuts and tariff implementation, the market may enter a macro "vacuum period" in November. The next key macro events are the December FOMC meeting, the domestic Politburo meeting, and the Central Economic Work Conference. Pay attention to the Fed's interest rate cut rhythm and China - US tariff situation. - The shortage of copper ore supply supports the price floor. If by - product prices like sulfuric acid continue to fall and TC remains low, smelters may face cash - flow losses and experience phased production cuts. - Downstream demand for copper is resilient. Although there is price - aversion sentiment, there is still significant procurement after price drops. In the medium - to - long - term, supply - demand contradictions support the upward movement of the copper price floor, but short - term sharp increases may suppress demand. Pay attention to marginal changes in demand and US tariff conditions, with the main support level at 86,000 - 86,500 [2]. Aluminum - In October, the alumina futures price was under pressure, and it is expected to remain weakly volatile in November with limited rebound space. The market should focus on whether large - scale production cuts will occur if prices continue to fall. - In October, the electrolytic aluminum market was strong. In November, the Shanghai aluminum price is expected to remain high and volatile with limited upside. Although high prices may suppress downstream procurement, the overall macro environment is positive. However, domestic supply is under pressure due to high operating capacity and expected import arrivals, and downstream demand is not strong enough [4]. Aluminum Alloy - In October, the casting aluminum alloy futures followed the aluminum price and strengthened. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, squeezing enterprise profits. In November, the ADC12 price is expected to remain strong and volatile, with an operating range of 20,200 - 21,000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to scrap aluminum supply, downstream demand, and policy implementation [6]. Zinc - The supply - loosening logic has spread from the zinc ore end to the zinc ingot end. Supply growth may be limited due to compressed smelting profits. Demand has no unexpected performance, but the low overseas inventory creates a risk of a short squeeze on LME, supporting the zinc price. The domestic zinc ingot supply is relatively loose, and export windows are intermittently open. In the short - term, the zinc price will be volatile and strong, but the fundamentals may limit its upward movement. It is expected to remain range - bound between 22,000 - 23,000 [11]. Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the improvement in supply may be limited this year. Demand is weak, and although some consumption is driven by AI and photovoltaics, it cannot offset the decline in traditional demand. In the short - term, the tin price may fall due to the Fed's hawkish stance. If the supply from Myanmar recovers well, the price may weaken; otherwise, it will remain strong [13]. Nickel - The nickel market is range - bound with no clear one - way trend. The production of refined nickel remains high, and the price of nickel ore is firm. The price of ferronickel is under pressure, and the demand for stainless steel is weak, while the demand for ternary materials has inventory - building needs but may not be sustainable. The market should pay attention to the 2026 RKAB approval in Indonesia. The price is expected to be range - bound between 118,000 - 126,000 [14]. Stainless Steel - The stainless steel market is volatile, with supply pressure and insufficient demand improvement. The price of nickel ore is firm, and the price of ferronickel is under pressure. The chromium iron market is weakly stable. The supply of 300 - series stainless steel remains high, and demand is mainly for rigid needs. The social inventory is slowly decreasing. In the short - term, the price is expected to be range - bound between 12,500 - 13,000 [17]. Lithium Carbonate - Last week, the lithium carbonate futures were strong, but the market was affected by supply - side news. The fundamentals are currently strong, with a slight decrease in weekly production and an unexpected improvement in downstream demand. In November, the supply - demand change is expected to be limited, and the price is expected to be widely volatile between 78,000 - 87,000 [20].

Report Summary 1. Investment Ratings - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating weakly [2] - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4] 2. Core Views - The macro - expected situation has been realized, and the market is under short - term pressure. The supply - demand contradictions in glass, soda ash, and double - silicon sectors continue to affect the prices of related products [1][3] 3. Market Analysis and Strategy by Product Glass - **Market Analysis**: The glass futures market dropped significantly yesterday. Downstream procurement is cautious, mainly for刚需. The开工 rate of float glass enterprises this week was 80.63%, unchanged from last week, and the factory inventory was 65.79 million heavy boxes, a 1.24% decrease from last week, showing obvious inventory reduction. However, the supply - demand contradiction is still large, the inventory pressure is still at a historically high level, and the futures - cash merchants are squeezing the market share of glass factories. With the end of the consumption peak season and the potential for some production lines to resume production, the glass price is expected to remain under pressure [1] - **Strategy**: Oscillating weakly [2] Soda Ash - **Market Analysis**: The soda ash futures market showed a weak oscillating trend yesterday. Downstream procurement is mainly for刚需 replenishment. This week, the soda ash production was 757,600 tons, a 2.29% increase from last week, and the inventory was 1.702 million tons, a 0.01% decrease from last week. The supply - demand contradiction remains, with the supply expected to increase further, the刚需 showing resilience, and the speculative demand weakening. The inventory reduction pressure will persist throughout the year [1] - **Strategy**: Oscillating weakly [2] Silicomanganese - **Market Analysis**: The main contract of silicomanganese futures first rose and then fell, closing at 5,842 yuan/ton yesterday. The spot market was stable, and the alloy cost support was fair. The price of 6517 in the northern market was 5,600 - 5,680 yuan/ton, and in the southern market was 5,650 - 5,700 yuan/ton. Although silicomanganese enterprises are facing increasing losses, the production remains high, and the inventory reduction pressure is large. Recently, coking coal has driven the upward movement of the black sector, strengthening the bottom support of silicomanganese. It is expected that the silicomanganese price will continue to fluctuate with the sector [3] - **Strategy**: Oscillating [4] Ferrosilicon - **Market Analysis**: The main contract of ferrosilicon futures tried to rise in the morning but faced pressure and then declined in the afternoon under the influence of the black sector. The spot market sentiment was flat, and most operations were cautious. The cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon in the main production areas was 5,150 - 5,200 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was 5,700 - 5,800 yuan/ton. Currently, ferrosilicon enterprises have high production and high inventory, and the demand is expected to weaken. Although enterprises are continuously losing money, it has not effectively curbed production, and the weak fundamental situation is difficult to reverse. It is expected that the short - term ferrosilicon price will follow the sector [3] - **Strategy**: Oscillating [4]
