Report Overview - Report Date: October 17, 2025 - Report Cycle: Daily Report - Research Variety: Manganese Silicon - Research Analyst: An Zhiyuan 1. Investment Rating - Not provided in the report. 2. Core View - On October 16, the manganese silicon futures market showed an overall volatile pattern. In the short term, the manganese silicon futures will maintain a weak volatile pattern, mainly restricted by supply - demand contradictions and market sentiment. Weak steel mill demand and rising inventory pressure have led to a lack of upward momentum in the market. The decline in trading volume indicates insufficient market participation, and it is difficult to form a trending market in the short term. Attention can be paid to the results of steel tenders and the actual procurement situation of steel mills to judge whether the short - term price will rebound [13]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures Market 3.1.1 Contract Market - On October 16, the manganese silicon SM2601 contract showed a volatile upward trend. The daily session opened at 5,734 yuan/ton, with a maximum price of 5,786 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 5,720 yuan/ton, a closing price of 5,754 yuan/ton, and a settlement price of 5,758 yuan/ton.

Among them, the open interest of the active contract manganese silicon SM2601 increased by 1,983 lots [2]. 3.1.3 Related Market - On October 16, the overall volatility of the manganese silicon options market was relatively large. The open interest of the call options of the manganese silicon main contract was 34,191 contracts, the open interest of the put options was 30,235 contracts, and the open interest PCR was 0.884 [5]. 3.2 Spot Market 3.2.1 Basis Data - On October 16, the basis of the active contract manganese silicon 2601 was - 54 yuan/ton, which was wider than that of the previous day [7]. 3.2.2 Registered Warehouse Receipts - On October 16, the total number of registered warehouse receipts for manganese silicon was 48,976, a decrease of 780 compared with the previous trading day [8]. 3.3 Influencing Factors 3.3.1 Industry News - Mysteel surveyed 83 independent silicomanganese enterprises (accounting for 71.6% of the national surveyed production capacity): The average inventory of manganese ore in factories nationwide was 14.1 days, a month - on - month increase of 0.1 days.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Bean Meal**: It is expected to show a large - range oscillation. The domestic soybean and bean meal are in the inventory - accumulation stage until the end of September, with the inventory - accumulation speed in August expected to slow down compared to July. The Sino - US trade tariff is the key cost support for bean meal. After the latest Sino - US negotiation result, the original tariff rate is maintained and extended for 90 days. Under the cost - support expectation, the domestic bean meal price rebounded. With the combination of weak fundamentals and cost support, it presents a large - range market [1][2][3]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: It is expected to have a large - range oscillation. The global rapeseed output has recovered year - on - year, but there is dry soil moisture in some areas of Canadian rapeseed. The domestic rapeseed and rapeseed meal inventories of oil mills are decreasing month - on - month, but still at a relatively high level year - on - year. From July to September, the rapeseed import decreased significantly year - on - year, and the 100% import tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal and the strength of old - crop Canadian rapeseed support the price, while the improving import profit of Canadian rapeseed exerts upward pressure. The low spot price difference between bean meal and rapeseed meal reduces the feed addition of rapeseed meal. Yesterday, rapeseed meal followed the price of bean meal and continued to rebound [1][4][6]. - **Palm Oil**: Be cautious about chasing long positions. After a series of previous positive factors, the market lacks more positive drivers, and Malaysian palm oil may return to the July supply - demand fundamentals. Based on the production and export data from the first 25 days of July, there is a possibility of inventory accumulation in July. In the next one to two weeks, the price may need to adjust, and opportunities to go long after the price stabilizes can be considered [1][7][9]. - **Cotton**: Be cautiously bearish. The soil moisture in the main cotton - producing areas of the US has slightly deteriorated, but the new cotton growth is still good. The weekly export has weakened significantly, suppressing the upward movement of the market. In China, the actual sown area and yield per unit of new cotton have increased, pushing up the guaranteed output. The commercial inventory is decreasing rapidly, but the replenishment of downstream finished products has slowed down recently, weakening the cotton - using expectation. The orders of textile enterprises have reached a five - year low, and the operating rate is gradually decreasing. The negative feedback of demand on the inventory - reduction logic is gradually reflected in the market [1][10][13]. - **Red Dates**: Be cautiously bearish. The growth of new - season jujube trees is relatively good. The market previously expected a significant decline in production due to the "alternate - bearing" phenomenon, but there are no obvious signs of significant production reduction in the second and third - crop fruit - setting in the producing areas. The self - regulatory statement of some enterprises in the industry is difficult to promote widely. With weak fundamentals, there is great pressure for the price to rise after filling the gap. Opportunities to short at high prices after the price rebounds driven by macro - sentiment can be considered [1][15][16]. - **Live Pigs**: Be cautiously bullish. The risk of second - fattening selling has been realized, and the accelerated short - term slaughter rhythm has pushed down the price of live pigs. However, considering the short - term rebound of the price difference between standard and fat pigs, there is still some enthusiasm in the second - fattening link, making it difficult for the near - month contracts to break through downward. The fact of medium - and long - term over - capacity remains unchanged. Attention should be paid to whether the subsequent capacity reduction can boost the far - month price. For near - month contracts, short positions can consider gradually taking profits, and for far - month contracts, long positions can be established at low prices after the spot price stabilizes [1][17][19]. 3.

Live Pigs - **Inventory and Output**: The national sample enterprises' live - pig inventory was 3.71993 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 11,520 tons or 0.31%; the live - pig output was 1.12559 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 16,770 tons or 1.51%. The national inventory of breeding sows was 4.043 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 1,000 tons or 0.02% [17]. - **Price**: The main contract of live pigs, Lh2509, decreased by 0.49% during the day, closing at 14,075 yuan/ton.

It was recommended to wait and see as the price was seeking bottom support and would continue to be pressured [7][8] - **Variety Trading Strategy**: Last week, it was recommended to wait and see during the stage of shock seeking bottom support.
