Market Analysis of Different Commodity Categories - **Black Commodities**: The trading logic of the black chain has returned to the off - season fundamentals. Along with the rebound of the stock market and raw material prices, steel futures prices also rose slightly, but overall remained in a low - level oscillation pattern. The inventory of the five major steel products decreased to 1503.57 tons this week, with the decline narrowing to 0.67%, but a 23.37% increase compared to the same period last year. Production decreased by 2.12% month - on - month, and apparent demand also dropped by 2.89% to 869,100 tons, reaching the lowest level in the same period in recent years. In general, the short - term macro - expectations have less influence, and the market sentiment is weak due to weak real - estate data and the cooling weather [1]. - **Base Metals**: For copper, the rebound of Shanghai copper was due to the improved macro - sentiment released by the stock - market rebound, and its medium - term upward trend remained unchanged, with the strength of the market depending on the recovery of positions. Regarding lithium carbonate, although there were rumors of accelerated resumption of production in Jiangxi lithium mines, which have not been officially confirmed, the market did not form a consensus on the future. After the impact of the news faded, lithium carbonate stabilized and rebounded, recovering previous losses. Future attention should be paid to the resumption rhythm of the supply side and whether the fundamentals continue to destock [1]. - **Energy and Chemical Products**: The main contract of SC crude oil declined slightly for the third consecutive day on Thursday. In the future, the short - term market's sensitivity to geopolitics has slightly decreased, the macro - situation is temporarily stable, and international oil prices are dominated by fundamentals. This week, ELA inventories entered the seasonal accumulation period, and WTI oil prices fell below the $60 support. Due to the remaining supply surplus this year and no substantial improvement in the near - term fundamentals, oil prices are expected to remain under pressure this year [1]. - **Oilseeds and Fats**: The relaxation of US soybean tariffs provided positive support to the market. However, according to the calculation, the import cost of US soybeans is still higher than that of Brazilian soybeans. The increase in US soybean import costs drove the continued strength of double - meal futures. Future attention should be paid to China's actual procurement of US soybeans. The three major oils rebounded and closed higher. The short - covering of palm oil and rapeseed oil drove the price rebound. The market expects that the production and inventory of Malaysian palm oil in the MPOB October supply - demand report may continue to increase. However, the improvement in palm oil export demand and the entry into the seasonal production - reduction season in November provide support for the price. In the short term, the driving force in the oil market is limited, and the market is waiting for the MPOB report and changes in the biodiesel policy [1].
