Summary by Category Financial Futures and Options - **Stock Index Futures (IF, IH, IC, IM)**: - **Reference Strategy**: Hold long positions in IM2509 [1]. - **Core Logic**: The marginal slowdown of fundamental repair strengthens policy expectations. The government's strengthened long - cycle assessment of insurance funds is beneficial for the entry of incremental funds. Overseas, the phased settlement of tariff uncertainties has a limited impact on the equity market [1]. - **Treasury Bond Futures (TS, TF, T, TL)**: - **Reference Strategy**: Hold long positions in T2509 or TL2509 [3]. - **Core Logic**: During the tax period, the central bank's injection of medium - term liquidity supports the long - end bond market. The weak domestic fundamentals and low inflation strengthen the expectation of monetary easing. After the release of multiple negative news, the bond market maintains a rebound momentum [3]. Commodity Futures and Options - **Metal and New Energy Materials (Aluminum)**: - **Reference Strategy**: Sell AL2508 - P - 19300 [4]. - **Core Logic**: Due to supply - side reforms, the increase in aluminum production capacity is limited.

Report Summary 1. Investment Ratings - This report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - **Overall**: The report analyzes multiple commodity futures and options, including livestock, soft commodities, and energy, and provides short - term and medium - term views and trading strategies for each variety. - **Livestock and Soft Commodities**: - **Pig**: The current supply and demand are both weak, with a short - term narrow - range shock and a medium - term pattern of near - strong and far - weak. It is recommended to sell high [1][2]. - **Sugar**: It shows a short - term weak shock and a medium - term trend of rising first and then falling. It is advisable to sell high [3][4][5]. - **Energy**: - **Crude Oil**: It has a short - term weak shock and a medium - term downward pressure. Selling out - of - the - money call options on SC crude oil is recommended [6][7][8]. - **PVC**: It has a short - term range shock and limited upward space in the medium term. It is recommended to hold the strategy of selling out - of - the - money call options [9][10]. 3. Summary by Variety Pig - **Short - term View**: Narrow - range shock [1] - **Medium - term View**: Near - strong and far - weak [1] - **Strategy**: Sell high [2] - **Core Logic**: - **Supply**: The average weight of pig slaughter is decreasing, and the weight - reduction rhythm is accelerating due to policy and temperature. The market's ability to digest pork is limited, and the demand for large pigs is in the off - season [1]. - **Demand**: The secondary fattening group may continue to enter the market due to low pig prices, low feed prices, and an expanding standard - fat price difference. Secondary fattening still has a continuous impact on pig prices [1]. - **Market**: The short - term supply - demand mismatch leads to a strong bullish sentiment, but the current supply - demand is weak, and there is no strong driving force for a sharp rise [2]. Sugar - **Short - term View**: Weak shock [3] - **Medium - term View**: Rising first and then falling [3] - **Strategy**: Sell high [4] - **Core Logic**: - **International**: The global sugar production in 2025/26 is expected to increase by 4.7% year - on - year, with a significant supply surplus. Brazil's gasoline price cut and expected production increase, as well as India's expected large - scale production increase, will put pressure on sugar prices in the medium and long term [4]. - **Domestic**: The domestic sugar sales progress is fast, and the inventory pressure is small, but the import profit window is open, and the future supply pressure is the core factor restricting sugar prices. The current basis can support the market, but the supply pressure of processed sugar is about to be realized [5]. Crude Oil - **Short - term View**: Weak shock [6] - **Medium - term View**: Under pressure [6] - **Strategy**: Sell out - of - the - money call options on SC crude oil [6] - **Core Logic**: - **Supply**: OPEC + will increase production in August, and may increase production significantly again in early August. The geopolitical premium has declined, and the growth rate of U.S. crude oil production will slow down in the long term [6][7]. - **Demand**: Although the refinery operating rates in major consuming countries are high, the downstream demand has not reached the peak season level. The demand for gasoline and diesel has limited growth [7]. - **Inventory**: The U.S. crude oil inventory has unexpectedly increased, and commercial crude oil inventories will accumulate in the third quarter [8]. PVC - **Short - term View**: Range shock (4800 - 5000) [9] - **Medium - term View**: Limited upward space [9] - **Strategy**: Hold the strategy of selling out - of - the money call options [9] - **Core Logic**: - **Cost**: The supply of calcium carbide has increased, and the price has decreased [9]. - **Supply**: Some PVC plants are under maintenance, but there are new production capacity expectations, and the supply will increase significantly [9][10]. - **Demand**: The low - level rebound of PVC futures prices has boosted the replenishment willingness of some downstream enterprises, but the downstream operating rate is low, and the domestic demand will continue to weaken. The export has short - term support, but there is uncertainty in anti - dumping policies [10]. - **Inventory**: The terminal demand is weak in the off - season, and the PVC inventory has accumulated [10].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - For copper, the global supply - demand pattern remains tight due to pre - emptive US demand. The opening of the domestic refined copper export window since June supports copper prices before US tariffs are imposed, but weak tariff implementation may reduce copper trade demand [1][2][3]. - For protein粕, the RVO obligation of the US EPA is unexpectedly positive, and international vegetable oils are reasonably priced high in the short term. Soybean prices are mainly oscillating, and the strategy of selling out - of - the - money call options on soybean oil 2509 is considered [4][5][6]. - For petroleum asphalt, the asphalt futures price maintains a high - level oscillation pattern in the short term due to crude oil cost support. In the long run, the asphalt fundamentals are weak in summer, and the asphalt cracking spread continues to weaken [7][8][9]. 3. Summary by Variety Metal and New Energy Materials Sector - Copper - **Intraday View**: 78200 - 79200 [1] - **Medium - term View**: 60000 - 90000 [1] - **Reference Strategy**: Adopt an oscillating operation approach [1] - **Core Logic**: - **Macro**: The US Congressional Budget Office indicates that the "big and beautiful" legal system will increase the fiscal deficit by $2.8 trillion [1]. - **Supply**: In May 2025, China imported 2.4 million tons of copper ore concentrates, a 6.6% year - on - year increase; from January to May, the cumulative import was 12.41 million tons, a 7.4% year - on - year increase. The supply of recycled copper raw materials is tightening. The Kakula copper mine in Congo (Kinshasa) has复产, but the 2025 production plan is reduced. The Adani copper smelter in India has a risk of canceling the long - term supply contract [1]. - **Demand**: In May 2025, China's exports of unwrought copper and copper products decreased by 23.6% year - on - year; imports decreased by 16.6% year - on - year. The overall market for refined copper rods is weak, and the new orders for enameled wire are decreasing. The US may impose a 25% tariff on imported copper [2]. - **Inventory**: On June 18, LME copper inventory decreased by 200 tons to 107,400 tons. SHFE copper warehouse receipts decreased by 7,527 tons to 47,000 tons, and international copper warehouse receipts decreased by 582 tons to 4,162 tons [2]. Livestock, Poultry and Soft Commodities Sector - Protein粕 - **Intraday View**: Soybean meal 2509 continues to oscillate between [3000, 3100] [4] - **Medium - term View**: Soybean meal 2509 builds a bottom in the range of [2900, 3100] [4] - **Reference Strategy**: Sell out - of - the - money call options on soybean oil 2509 - C - 8400 [4] - **Core Logic**: - **Weather and Market Impact**: In late June, soybean meal 2509 follows US soybeans into an oscillating market due to uncertain weather in US and Canadian rapeseed production areas. The Middle East geopolitical conflict and the US EPA's RVO proposal have boosted soybean oil prices [4]. - **International Soybean Situation**: The good condition of US soybeans is negative for far - month contracts, but the strength of vegetable oils drives up US soybean prices, resulting in a mixed situation for soybean meal. The expected soybean arrivals in June, July, and August are 12 million tons, 9.5 million tons, and 8.5 million tons respectively [5]. - **Rapeseed Situation**: Canadian rapeseed planting is faster than usual, which is negative for far - month contracts. ICE rapeseed follows the rise of US soybean oil. The estimated global rapeseed production in the 25/26 year is 89.77 million tons [5]. Energy and Chemicals Sector - Petroleum Asphalt - **Intraday View**: High - level oscillation [7] - **Medium - term View**: Under pressure [7] - **Reference Strategy**: Hold the strategy of shorting asphalt and going long on high - sulfur fuel oil spread [7] - **Core Logic**: - **Supply**: This week, the losses of local refineries in asphalt production have deepened, and the domestic asphalt refinery operating rate has decreased. As of June 17, the weekly asphalt production was 537,000 tons, a decrease of 12,000 tons [7]. - **Demand**: In the north, demand is restricted by high prices, and trading has declined slightly; in the south, demand is weak due to rainfall. The operating rate of waterproofing membrane enterprises is low. Asphalt refinery inventory has decreased, while social inventory is relatively stable [8]. - **Cost**: Geopolitical premiums support high oil prices in the short term. In the long run, oil prices will decline from high levels due to supply growth and weakening demand [8].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views - If the opening price of AD2511 is below 19,000 yuan/ton, go long on the AD2511 contract and short on the AL2511 contract; if it is above 19,600 yuan/ton, short the AD2511 contract unilaterally [4]. - The absolute price of aluminum alloy is expected to be poor, but it needs to be evaluated against the opening price. The relative price of aluminum alloy is currently at a low level. The supply of scrap aluminum will continue to be tight, and the fundamentals of aluminum alloy are weaker than those of electrolytic aluminum [5]. 3. Summary by Directory Background: Current Node Aluminum Price Further Upside is Limited - The profit of the electrolytic aluminum industry is 3,000 yuan/ton, at a relatively high level. The alumina price on the cost side is weak, and the inventory on the consumption side is still decreasing. However, the production of aluminum rods and aluminum strips and foils shows a marginal decline, indicating the approach of the seasonal consumption off - season. Without additional macro - disturbing factors, there is no fundamental support for further increasing the aluminum price. With low inventory, the aluminum price will mainly fluctuate with a slight downward trend and limited decline space [5]. Compared with Electrolytic Aluminum, Aluminum Alloy Fundamentals are Weaker - The operating rate of recycled alloys is only about 50%, with excess capacity, while the electrolytic aluminum operating rate is 97%, approaching the production capacity ceiling. The consumption of recycled alloys is overly concentrated in the automotive sector. Currently, the automobile production is good and vehicle lightweighting is ongoing, which boosts the consumption of aluminum alloy. In the long run, when automobile production and lightweighting development approach the bottleneck, the increase in the penetration rate of new - energy vehicles will drag down the consumption of aluminum alloy [5]. Scrap Aluminum Supply will Continue to be Tight - Forecasts show that the supply growth of domestic scrap aluminum will be limited, and the supply of old scrap aluminum may face challenges, leading to a continuous tight supply situation [18]. Smelting Profit and Spread Performance - From the analysis of recycled alloy smelting profit and ADC12 - A00 spread seasonality, the current relative price of aluminum alloy is at a low level. The Baotai quotation is 19,400 yuan/ton, and the actual spot transaction price is 19,200 yuan/ton. If the price of the aluminum alloy 2511 contract reaches 19,600 yuan/ton, the smelting losses of aluminum alloy plants will be repaired, and the hedging willingness will increase [5]. Expiring Warehouse Receipt Mode is Unfavorable for Buying Delivery - According to sample mine statistics, the output in the first quarter of 2025 was 1142,000 tons, with only a year - on - year increase of 4700 tons [28]. Contract Details Comparison - The trading unit of aluminum is 5 tons/hand, and that of aluminum alloy is 10 tons/hand. The minimum price change for both is 5 yuan/ton. The trading time, last trading day, and delivery date are similar, but there are differences in details such as trading code, delivery unit, and warehouse receipt validity period. The aluminum alloy futures will be listed for trading on June 10, 2025 [30].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - For copper, the market is influenced by multiple factors. The US government's policies may intensify the global supply - demand tightness, but domestic factors like canceled photovoltaic projects and the off - season in the copper industry reduce the upward momentum. For protein粕, the market is complex with different trends in related products, and the future trend of bean粕 depends on factors such as US soybean weather. For petroleum asphalt, the demand is weak due to rainfall and project funds, and the supply is increasing, so the price is expected to be under pressure in the long - term [1][3][4][6][8][10]. 3. Summary by Variety Copper - **Intraday and Mid - term Views**: Intraday view is in the range of 77000 - 78600, and the mid - term view is in the range of 60000 - 90000. The reference strategy is to adopt an oscillating operation idea [1]. - **Core Logic**: Macroscopically, there are concerns about high tariffs on imported copper. Supply - wise, the Kamoa - Kakula copper mine will resume operation at the end of June, and the global copper concentrate supply - demand tightness persists. Demand - wise, the开工 rate of refined copper rod enterprises is expected to rise slightly this week but may decline in June. Consumption in different regions is weak. In terms of inventory, LME copper inventory decreased and SHFE copper warehouse receipts increased on June 4 [1][2]. - **Outlook**: The US government's policies may exacerbate the supply - demand tightness, but domestic factors reduce the upward momentum [3]. Protein粕 - **Core Logic**: This week, the meal market oscillated. The pressure from domestic traders' large - scale purchases of South American soybeans may have been released. The weather speculation of US soybeans before the end of August may help bean粕 2509 build a bottom. The vegetable oil market has different trends, affected by policies and planting progress [4]. - **International Situation**: US soybean planting is going smoothly. The expected soybean arrivals in June, July, and August are 1200, 950, and 850 million tons respectively. Canadian rapeseed planting is faster than usual, and the global rapeseed production is expected to increase in the 25/26 season [5]. - **Outlook**: Pay attention to the USDA and MPOB monthly reports next week. Bean粕 2509 will generally oscillate, and it is advisable to consider selling out - of - the - money put options on the near - month contracts [6]. - **Intraday and Mid - term Views**: Intraday, bean粕 2509 oscillates in the range of [2900, 3000]. Mid - term, it searches for a bottom at a relatively low position in the range of [2800, 3100]. The reference strategy is to continue holding the sold out - of - the - money put option of bean粕 2509 - P - 2850 [7]. Petroleum Asphalt - **Intraday and Mid - term Views**: Intraday, it runs under pressure, and mid - term, it oscillates weakly. The reference strategy is to sell high [8]. - **Core Logic**: Supply - side, local refineries' losses in asphalt production have deepened, but the domestic asphalt plant operating rate has increased. Demand - side, due to rainfall and project funds, the demand is weak. Inventory - wise, the plant inventory has declined for three consecutive weeks, and the social inventory has increased for two consecutive weeks. The cost is affected by the oil price, which has some upward potential but also faces pressure from OPEC+ [8][9]. - **Outlook**: The release of asphalt's rigid demand is less than expected. In the long - term, with the increase in supply, if the oil price falls, the asphalt price is expected to follow a weak trend [10].
