Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The continuous rise in the price of Shanghai silver futures is the result of the combined effects of macro - expectations, supply - demand fundamentals, and market sentiment. In the short term, there are risks, but in the long - term, the continuation of the interest - rate cut cycle and the growth of green energy demand will support the silver price [3]. - For stock index futures, it is expected that the pre - holiday market will continue to fluctuate at a high level [6]. - For gold, considering the long holiday, it is recommended to close long positions to avoid risks [10]. - For iron ore, the supply is stable, the steel mills are gradually resuming production, and it is recommended to buy low and sell high in the high - level wide - range oscillation [13][14]. - For glass, it is in an oscillatory upward trend, and a low - buying strategy can be maintained [18]. - For soybean oil, high inventory restricts the price increase space, and it should be treated with a bearish view in oscillation [22]. - For pulp, it is expected to be boosted before the Mid - Autumn Festival peak season, but there is no improvement yet. It is recommended to buy low and sell high in the low - level oscillation [26]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Hot Focus - Shanghai Silver Futures - The price of Shanghai silver futures' main contract closed at 10,939 yuan/kg on September 29, with a single - day increase of 3.92%, reaching a phased high [3]. - Macro factors: The dovish speech of the new Fed governor supports a 150 - basis - point interest rate cut this year, and the market expects interest rate cuts in the next two meetings, reducing the cost of holding silver. Geopolitical tensions in Russia - Ukraine and the Middle East lead to the continuous inflow of safe - haven funds into the precious metals market [3]. - Fundamental factors: In 2025, the global silver supply - demand gap is expected to reach 3,659 tons, with a continuous shortage for five years. The significant increase in photovoltaic installed capacity drives the surge in industrial silver demand, and as 70% of silver is produced as a by - product of copper, lead, and zinc, production expansion is restricted [3]. Technical Analysis - Stock Index Futures - The stock index futures closed with a mid -阳线. The 2024 pension fund investment report shows stable operation, and the Politburo meeting aims to promote sustainable economic development. The pre - holiday market is expected to continue high - level oscillation [6]. Technical Analysis - Gold - Gold and silver are accelerating their upward movement, but due to the long holiday, it is recommended to close long positions [10]. Technical Analysis - Iron Ore - The supply is stable, steel mills are gradually resuming production, and the molten iron is expected to remain at a high level. Near the National Day, steel mills start to replenish inventory. Technically, it closed with a negative line today but is in a high - level wide - range oscillation, suitable for high - selling and low - buying [13][14]. Technical Analysis - Glass - Technically, it is in an oscillatory upward trend. The daily melting is basically stable, the factory inventory is decreasing, but the recovery of downstream deep - processing orders is insufficient. A low - buying strategy can be maintained [18][19]. Technical Analysis - Soybean Oil - On September 12, the domestic commercial inventory of soybean oil was 1.26 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 10,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 100,000 tons, and a year - on - year increase of 110,000 tons. High inventory restricts the price increase space [22]. Technical Analysis - Pulp - The pulp price in Shandong is stable, the port inventory starts to decline slightly, remaining at a medium - high level. There is an expected boost before the Mid - Autumn Festival peak season, but no improvement is seen yet. It is recommended to buy low and sell high in the low - level oscillation [26].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core View of the Report - The coking coal and coke futures prices fluctuated yesterday. The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp, and the dot - plot indicates two more cuts this year. Due to the poor air quality in Tangshan, coking enterprises are required to extend the coking time by 30% from September 15th to 30th, but the specific production - limit plan is not clear. The supply and demand sides of coking coal and coke are recovering rapidly, especially the rapid rebound of hot metal, which supports the rigid demand for raw materials. However, affected by the recent environmental production - limit policy in Tangshan, the upward movement of the market is weak, and it will run in a short - term shock. [2][3] Group 3: Summary by Related Content 1. Market Information - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp, and the dot - plot shows two more cuts this year due to concerns about the US labor market. Tangshan requires enterprises to prepare for hard emission - reduction measures from September 15th to 30th, and coking enterprises should extend the coking time by 30%. The production - limit is mostly voluntary, and the specific plan is unclear. [2] 2. Supply Side - This week, coal mines in Shanxi continued to resume production, and the output continued to rise. Although the document on over - production inspection in Inner Mongolia has raised concerns about coal mine production cuts, there is still a small increase in production in the short term. [3] 3. Demand Side - The resumption of production in steel mills is fast, and the daily average hot metal output last week quickly rebounded to over 2.4 million tons. The current profitability rate of steel mills is 60.17%, a decrease of 0.87 percentage points compared with last week and an increase of 54.11 percentage points compared with last year. The finished products are in the process of continuous inventory accumulation, and the profit of steel mills has narrowed, which may limit the growth space of hot metal and test the raw material demand in the later stage. [3] 4. Market Outlook - The resumption of production on both the supply and demand sides of coking coal and coke is fast, especially the rapid rebound of hot metal, which supports the rigid demand for raw materials. However, affected by the environmental production - limit policy in Tangshan, the upward movement of the market is weak, and it will run in a short - term shock. [3] 5. Later Concerns - Pay attention to the changes in the blast furnace start - up of steel mills and the resumption of production in coal mines. [3]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - This week, the alloy prices fluctuated.
