Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market was good yesterday, but the prices of finished steel products showed a weak and volatile trend. The demand for steel has officially entered the off - season, and there are still inventory risks for hot - rolled coils. Future attention should be paid to the pace of production cuts. With the implementation of the Fed's easing expectations and positive signals from the China - US meeting, the market sentiment and capital environment are expected to improve, and the consumption side of steel may gradually recover. In the short term, demand is still weak, but there may be an inflection point in the future [2]. - For iron ore, due to environmental protection restrictions and the decline in steel mill profits, the demand side continues to weaken, and the inventory pressure remains high. After the macro - events are realized, the fundamentals of iron ore are weak, and the price is expected to run weakly in the short term [5]. - Regarding manganese silicon and silicon iron, the fundamentals of manganese silicon are not ideal, and potential drivers may come from the manganese ore end. Silicon iron's supply - demand fundamentals have no obvious contradictions, and both are likely to follow the black - sector market [10]. - For industrial silicon, the supply - side pressure persists, and the demand support is weakening. It is expected to fluctuate in the short term. For polysilicon, the supply - demand pattern may improve marginally, but the short - term de - stocking range is limited [13][16]. - In the glass market, the short - term market may continue to fluctuate narrowly, and future attention should be paid to downstream orders and capacity changes. For soda ash, the price is expected to continue the weak and volatile pattern in the short term [19][21].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core View of the Report Although the prices of the black sector may experience short - term periodic corrections due to real - time demand, in the medium to long term, the black sector may gradually become more cost - effective for multi - allocation. The key factor to watch is the emergence of a new demand engine. If it appears, the steel industry may start a new upward cycle; otherwise, prices may enter a consolidation phase and require a longer period of bottom - building [1][23]. Summary by Relevant Points Background of the Black Sector - Since 2022, the black sector has been characterized by "weak reality" due to the real estate downturn. The market has been playing the same game of policy "expectations" against the backdrop of "weak reality". In the fourth quarter of this year, the "Fourth Plenary Session" in mid - to late October, which will plan for the "15th Five - Year Plan", will be a crucial node for future expectation games [1][4]. Differences in This Expectation Game Price Decline Dynamics - The downward momentum of prices is objectively waning and has been compressed to near - extreme levels. Taking the rebar price index as an example, the magnitude and time of new lows have significantly shrunk, from nearly 14% and 5 months initially to less than 4% and one month most recently [7]. Fed's Interest - Rate Cut - The Fed has officially entered an interest - rate cut cycle, and with the "big and beautiful" tax and spending bill passed by the US Congress on July 3, 2024, it is relatively certain that overseas markets will enter a phase of both fiscal and monetary expansion, which is beneficial for global demand and commodity prices. Unlike previous recession - driven interest - rate cuts, the current US economy has not shown obvious signs of weakness, so commodity prices may not decline significantly before rising [9][10]. China's Capacity - Reduction Experience - China has rich experience in capacity reduction. In 1998 - 2002 and 2015 - 2016, the country effectively addressed over - capacity issues and emerged from insufficient demand and low inflation. With strong national will and sufficient fiscal policy space, demand - side policies supporting the "anti - involution" initiative are still worth anticipating [15][16]. Industry Cycle - The black sector has a cycle of approximately five years, and currently, it is approaching a critical cycle turning point. Historically, the steel industry cycle was closely related to the real estate cycle. However, under the current real - estate policy background, a new demand engine outside of real estate is needed to start a new cycle. The development of the Great Northwest is being considered, but its demand scale and time span are still under evaluation [19][22].

Core Viewpoint - The report from CITIC Securities indicates that the resolution of local government hidden debts may be achieved by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan or the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan, but local government leverage remains high, necessitating the central bank to maintain low interest rates in an uncertain revenue environment [1] Group 1: Economic Outlook - The focus of new policy financial tools will be on eight key areas: digital economy, artificial intelligence, low-altitude economy, infrastructure in consumer sectors, green and low-carbon transition, agriculture and rural development, transportation and logistics, as well as municipal and industrial parks [1] - There is a high demand for incremental fiscal support, suggesting that the dual expansion of fiscal and monetary policies will continue in the future [1]

Core Viewpoint - The report indicates that the resolution of local government hidden debts may be achieved between the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan," but local government leverage remains high, necessitating the central bank to maintain low interest rates in an uncertain revenue environment [1] Group 1: Local Government Debt and Leverage - Local government leverage remains high despite potential resolution of hidden debts [1] - The timeline for resolving local government hidden debts is projected for the transition between the "14th" and "15th" Five-Year Plans [1] Group 2: Monetary Policy and Economic Focus - The central bank is expected to continue maintaining low interest rates due to uncertainties in revenue [1] - A new round of policy financial tools will focus on eight key areas: digital economy, artificial intelligence, low-altitude economy, infrastructure in consumption sectors, green and low-carbon transition, agriculture and rural development, transportation and logistics, and municipal and industrial parks [1] - There remains a high incremental demand on the fiscal side, indicating that the dual expansion of fiscal and monetary policies is likely to continue [1]
