Core Viewpoints of the Report - The steel demand has officially entered the off - season, with high inventory pressure on hot - rolled coils. Prices are likely to continue weak and volatile in the short term, but may have a marginal inflection point as policies are implemented and the macro - environment improves [4]. - Iron ore is expected to operate within a volatile range due to strong supply, stable demand, and partial resource shortages during the macro - vacuum period [7]. - For ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, although the current downward pressure on prices still exists, there is no need to be overly pessimistic, and attention should be paid to the inflection point of market sentiment [11]. - Industrial silicon prices are expected to continue to fluctuate in the short term, with attention to phased emotional disturbances [15]. - Polysilicon prices are expected to fluctuate widely within a range, and future focuses are on the progress of platform companies and price feedback in the industrial chain [18]. - Glass prices are expected to continue to fluctuate at the bottom, with limited room for further decline [21]. - Soda ash is expected to maintain a weak operation until the glass demand shows substantial improvement [23]. 3.
