浮法玻璃进入传统旺季，供需结构或有阶段性改善。当前浮法玻璃虽生产企业及局部中间商持货量偏 高，但随着下游加工厂订单得到改善，市场供需结构存阶段性改善预期。从加工厂库存水平看，虽7月 份有所补货，但补货量不多。经过8月份阶段性消化后，加工厂库存整体处于偏低位。后市看，随着旺 季季节性订单得到兑现，加工厂刚需提货也将对浮法生产企业产销率形成支撑，预计8月份下旬之后浮 法厂出货或将呈现逐步好转趋势。但从价格看，高库存压力仍存，需求改善对价格支撑还需关注改善强 度。 相比之下，纯碱基本面供强需弱矛盾突出。内蒙博源银根化工二期280万吨装置计划下半年投产，后期 计划检修厂家有限，纯碱行业开工负荷预计维持在85%-89%，日产量维持在10.7-11.2万吨。需求相对平 稳，主要下游产品盈利情况欠佳，对纯碱市场支撑乏力。加之纯碱行业库存处于历史同期高位，厂家出 货压力不减，中短期看纯碱市场或偏弱运行。 （文章来源：新华财经） 浮法玻璃进入传统旺季，供需结构或有阶段性改善。相比之下，纯碱基本面供强需弱矛盾突出，中短期 看纯碱市场或偏弱运行。 进入8月份，虽然玻璃和纯碱期现货市场走势略有分化，但两品种整体走势大体趋同，均出现期 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given text. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, the investment demand for convertible bonds from insurance and annuity remains. With the shrinking of traditional high - quality underlying bonds like banks, convertible bond funds may flow to low - price, high - grade medium - large - cap convertible bonds in sectors such as utilities, transportation, environmental protection, and construction. The valuation decline of medium - low - price and balanced convertible bonds is controllable, and the valuation of high - grade convertible bonds may rise. In the long - term, if the new issuance space of convertible bonds remains unopened, it may significantly affect the market positioning of convertible bond assets, especially if new medium - high - grade convertible bonds are continuously absent, which may impact the basic demand for convertible bond allocation of low - risk - preference investors such as annuities and disrupt the logic of "tight supply - demand supporting high convertible bond valuations" [22] - The current A - share market valuation is recovering. Large - scale equipment updates and consumer goods trade - in measures are expected to boost domestic demand, while export growth may decline. A weak resonance between the domestic economic fundamentals and the capital market is expected to gradually start. For convertible bonds, considering the impact of refinancing policies, the subsequent issuance pressure is not expected to be high. As the stock market recovers, the return of incremental convertible bond funds drives the valuation to a relatively high historical level, and attention should be paid to the risk of valuation correction. In terms of clauses, attention should be paid to the game space of downward revisions, be vigilant against the forced redemption risk, and appropriately focus on the short - term game opportunities of near - maturity convertible bonds [42] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1. Convertible Bond Weekly Special and Outlook 3.1.1. Supply - Demand Structure and Convertible Bond Valuation - Since the fourth quarter of 2023, the new issuance of convertible bonds has significantly declined, while the amount of conversion and maturity has increased. The scale of outstanding convertible bonds has entered a downward channel, with AAA - rated convertible bonds being the main force of contraction. The scale of convertible bonds in industries such as banks, public utilities, environmental protection, and transportation has decreased significantly. As of August 8, 2025, the convertible bond scale has decreased by nearly 70 billion yuan this year [10] - Starting from 2025, the convertible bond market will enter a maturity peak. In 2025, 134 convertible bonds will mature, with an initial issuance scale of 279.3 billion yuan. As of July 31, 2025, 20 of these 134 convertible bonds remain, with a total remaining scale of 48.178 billion yuan. From 2026 to 2028, the theoretical maturity scale of convertible bonds will exceed 200 billion yuan each year. In terms of ratings, from 2025 to 2027, the maturity scale of AAA - rated convertible bonds will be 39.1 billion yuan, 31.3 billion yuan, and 81.8 billion yuan respectively, remaining the main force of future contraction. The maturity scale of AA - and above - rated convertible bonds will be 47.4 billion yuan, 83.5 billion yuan, and 153.3 billion yuan respectively during the same period [16] - On the demand side, compared with the end of 2021, the investor structure of convertible bonds has changed. The influence of public funds and insurance institutions has increased, while the proportion of enterprise annuities has decreased. Public funds are the main direct investors in convertible bonds, with relatively few restrictions on convertible bond ratings. Pension and insurance institutions usually have clear convertible bond rating restrictions and focus on the safety margin and return certainty of convertible bond prices [21] 3.1.2. Weekly Review and Market Outlook - This week, the market showed an oscillating upward trend, with most of the three major indices rising, but there was differentiation and a slight correction in the second half of the week. The defense, machinery, and non - ferrous metal sectors performed well, while sectors such as commerce and retail, petroleum and petrochemicals, and social services declined [41] - For the stock market outlook, the current A - share market valuation is recovering. Large - scale equipment updates and consumer goods trade - in measures are expected to boost domestic demand, while export growth may decline. A weak resonance between the domestic economic fundamentals and the capital market is expected to gradually start. For convertible bonds, considering the impact of refinancing policies, the subsequent issuance pressure is not expected to be high. As the stock market recovers, the return of incremental convertible bond funds drives the valuation to a relatively high historical level, and attention should be paid to the risk of valuation correction. In terms of clauses, attention should be paid to the game space of downward revisions, be vigilant against the forced redemption risk, and appropriately focus on the short - term game opportunities of near - maturity convertible bonds. Industries to focus on include hot topics, domestic demand - driven sectors, central state - owned enterprises represented by "China -字头", the "Belt and Road" theme, high - dividend sectors, and the military industry [42][43] 3.2.

The news of the upcoming stable - growth work plan for ten key industries such as steel, non - ferrous metals, and petrochemicals boosted the market, but the proportion of EG's backward production capacity over 20 years old is only 6.6%, and most are in a shutdown or low - load operation state, so the increase is relatively limited [1]. - The production profit of ethylene - based EG was - 53 US dollars/ton (unchanged from the previous period), and that of coal - based syngas - to - EG was 47 yuan/ton (- 13 yuan/ton compared to the previous period) [1]. - According to CCF data, the MEG inventory in the main ports of East China was 53.3 tons (- 2.0 tons compared to the previous period); according to Longzhong data, it was 49.4 tons (+1.3 tons compared to the previous period). The actual arrival at the main ports last week was 5.2 tons, with a slight reduction in port inventory. The planned arrival at the East China main ports this week is 15.7 tons, and the visible inventory is expected to moderately increase early next week [2]. - In terms of the overall fundamental supply - demand logic, on the supply side, the domestic syngas - to - ethylene glycol load has returned to a high level, and there are more unplanned load reductions in non - coal sectors, with limited room for further improvement. Overseas supply recovery is not as expected. On the demand side, the terminal inventory is high in the off - season, and the stocking willingness is low, with a weak demand expectation. The actual decline space may be limited. The supply - demand structure in July is still benign, but the arrival pressure of foreign ships will moderately increase in late July [2]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The macro - face is positive. The National Development and Reform Commission expects China's GDP in 2025 to be around 140 trillion yuan, and will promote the modern infrastructure system. The State Council aims to stabilize employment and the economy through policy measures [1]. - The fundamental data last week was weak. The production and sales of the five major steel products declined, and the inventory remained flat. The production, apparent demand, and inventory of rebar all decreased, and the demand for building materials was in the off - season. The apparent demand for hot - rolled coils also decreased, and the inventory increased slightly for three consecutive weeks [1]. - The recent rebound of rebar futures is mainly due to positive macro - expectations and supplemented by the improvement of the supply - demand structure. The short - term market sentiment is warm, and the futures price is expected to maintain a volatile upward trend. However, due to the weak demand pattern, the upward pressure on the futures price is still large [1][5] Summary by Directory Transaction Data | Contract | Closing Price | Change | Change Rate (%) | Total Trading Volume (Lots) | Total Open Interest (Lots) | Price Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SHFE Rebar | 3133 | 61 | 1.99 | 7764666 | 3183357 | Yuan/ton | | SHFE Hot - rolled Coil | 3273 | 72 | 2.25 | 2688725 | 1597104 | Yuan/ton | | DCE Iron Ore | 764.0 | 31.5 | 4.30 | 1646727 | 659915 | Yuan/ton | | DCE Coking Coal | 913.0 | 73.5 | 8.76 | 6466818 | 796808 | Yuan/ton | | DCE Coke | 1519.5 | 86.5 | 6.04 | 132329 | 56526 | Yuan/ton | [2] Market Review - Last week, steel futures rose strongly supported by macro - sentiment.
