The iron ore market is expected to be in a weak and volatile state. Coke and coking coal are expected to be in a strong and volatile state. Silicon manganese has strong price support at the bottom, and silicon ferrosilicon is likely to rise [2][3][4][6][7][8] Summaries by Commodity Steel - Today's futures market rebounded slightly. In the off - season, the apparent demand for thread decreased month - on - month, production declined, and the inventory reduction slowed. The demand for hot roll dropped significantly, production decreased, and inventory increased slightly. The high - level iron - making water production declined, and the downstream's ability to absorb was insufficient. With the decline in steel mill profits, the negative feedback pressure in the industrial chain remains to be alleviated. Domestic demand is weak, and steel exports have declined from the high level. The futures market has gradually stabilized in the short term, but the rebound momentum is still insufficient [2] Iron Ore - Today's futures market fluctuated, and the basis has strengthened recently. The global shipment decreased month - on - month, with Australia and Brazil both showing declines. The domestic arrival volume decreased significantly month - on - month but remained at a high level for the same period. Due to the decline in steel demand in the off - season and increased losses of steel mills, iron - making water production continued to decrease last week. The futures market is expected to be in a weak and volatile state [3] Coke - The price fluctuated during the day. After the third round of price increases was quickly implemented, there is an expectation of a fourth round. Coke production decreased slightly, and inventory decreased slightly.

Recently, Mongolian coal imports have increased, and the customs clearance volume has remained high. Coking coal mine production decreased slightly, and the total inventory increased slightly. With the approaching safety inspection in major coal - producing areas, its impact should be noted. The futures price is at a discount to Mongolian coal, and it is expected to be in a strong and volatile state [6] Silicon Manganese - The price was in a strong and volatile state during the day. The demand side shows a continuous decline in iron - making water production. Silicon manganese production decreased slightly but remained at a high level, and inventory gradually increased. The price of manganese ore has a strong bottom - support, and the price is expected to be stable [7] Silicon Ferrosilicon - The price was in a strong and volatile state during the day. The demand side shows a continuous decline in iron - making water production, but export demand has increased to about 40,000 tons, and the secondary demand has increased marginally. Supply remains high, and inventory has been decreasing. Due to the increase in electricity and blue - carbon prices, the price is likely to rise [8]

The stock market is expected to be oscillating strongly in the short term, and the bond market's yield curve steepening may end [48][49]. Summaries by Related Catalogs Metals Crude Oil - Last week, international oil prices declined, with the Brent 01 contract down 1.36%. The US government shutdown impacts the employment and jet - fuel demand.

China's un - wrought copper imports in October were low, and the US consumer confidence index was poor. Wait for the social inventory data and expect the previous up - rush to cool down. Wait and see [3]. Aluminum - On Friday, Shanghai aluminum prices declined. Since October, domestic inventory and spot performance have been neutral. Macroeconomic sentiment dominates, and the short - term upward resistance is around 21,800 yuan. The high index position reflects large market divergence, so beware of capital flow changes [4]. Cast Aluminum Alloy - The Baotai ADC12 spot price is 20,900 yuan. Scrap aluminum supply is tight, and tax policy adjustments are unclear. It follows aluminum price fluctuations and has no independent market for now [5].

The inventory pressure relief is limited, and it will oscillate in the short term [12]. Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon production in Sichuan and Yunnan is at a low level during the dry season, and downstream polysilicon has seasonal production cuts. It shows a supply - demand weak pattern and will oscillate [13]. Steel Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil - On Friday night, steel prices oscillated weakly, and Tangshan billet prices dropped by 10 yuan/ton over the weekend. Rebar demand and production decreased, and the de - stocking slowed. Hot - rolled coil demand and production also declined, with a slight inventory increase.

The price has strong bottom support [19]. Shipping Container Freight Index (Europe Line) - Last week, the shipping order pressure existed, and the new SCFI European route price dropped by 1.6% week - on - week. In late November, the freight rate may rise. The upside space is limited, and it's advisable to wait and see. The fire at the TPP port may affect the rotation time of the Gemini European line [20]. Energy - Related Products Fuel Oil and Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - The fuel oil market oscillates, mainly affected by crude oil. Low - sulfur fuel oil is relatively strong, but its continuous upward momentum is limited. High - sulfur fuel oil's supply will be more abundant in the medium - term. The spread between them may widen [21]. Asphalt - Asphalt has entered the off - season. The demand in the southwest and south can't offset the weakening in the north. Social inventory has been increasing year - on - year since late October. Refineries are cutting prices, and the market is bearish [22]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas - The LPG main contract oscillates narrowly. The chemical and combustion demand has increased, and the inventory rate of refineries and ports has decreased. The fundamentals support the LPG price [23]. Chemical Products Urea - Affected by the new export quota, urea prices rose over the weekend.

Agricultural Products Soybeans and Soybean Meal - Last Friday night, soybean prices oscillated weakly. Importing US soybeans has no price advantage, and domestic soybean inventory may decrease in Q1 next year. Watch for USDA reports and possible long - buying opportunities [36]. Soybean Oil and Palm Oil - US soybean prices declined. Palm oil rebounded, and it's necessary to watch if the rebound is sustainable. Consider the possibility of short - term stabilization of palm oil [37]. Rapeseed and Rapeseed Oil - Canadian rapeseed prices are under pressure due to low sales and limited export markets. Domestic prices will oscillate, and pay attention to Australian rapeseed imports [38]. Bean No. 1 - Bean No. 1 prices fell from a high level. The purchase of domestic soybeans by the state reserve may support the market. Watch for policy guidance [39].

Attention should be paid to the shipping situation of South32's Australian mines. Demand is supported by high iron - water production. Production is increasing, and inventory has not accumulated. Manganese ore prices have a slight decline, and the price has limited downward space. In the long - term, manganese ore is expected to accumulate inventory [7] Silicon Iron - The silicon iron futures market is in a weak and volatile state. Iron - water production is slightly decreasing but remains above 240. Export demand is stable at around 30,000 tons. Supply is increasing significantly, and inventory is slightly decreasing.

The tender inquiry price of a large steel mill in the north was 5500 yuan/ton, a decrease of 350 yuan/ton compared with May. The inventory level decreased due to previous production cuts, but the weekly production began to increase. The manganese ore inventory accumulation speed increased, and the price is under further pressure, but the price - holding intention of manganese mines has increased. The silicomanganese is temporarily bullish in the short term [5] Ferrosilicon - Affected by international conflicts, the ferrosilicon price fluctuated upward during the day. The futures and options trading of ferrosilicon is open to qualified overseas investors.
