1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Glass: Neutral [2] - Soda Ash: Slightly Bearish [2] - Silicomanganese: Neutral [5] - Ferrosilicon: Neutral [5] 2. Core Viewpoints - The black building materials market is under pressure due to macro - sentiment disturbances. The glass and soda ash markets are affected by weak demand, while the double - silicon market is facing its own supply - demand contradictions [1][3] 3. Summary of Each Section Glass and Soda Ash Market Analysis - Glass 2605 main contract showed a slightly weak and volatile trend yesterday. The spot market price declined slightly with the futures price, and the purchasing intention of traders remained relatively stable [1] - Soda Ash 2605 main contract continued the previous day's weak trend. The spot market price decreased with the futures price, and downstream purchases were mainly for rigid - demand replenishment, with overall light trading [1] Supply - Demand and Logic - The glass market continues the pattern of weak supply and demand. The profit margin of float glass enterprises is narrowing, the number of cold - repair production lines is increasing, and production is gradually decreasing. The traditional "Golden March and Silver April" consumption season is underperforming, downstream orders are average, and real - estate data is weak, so downstream purchases are mainly for rigid - demand replenishment [1] - The supply - demand contradiction in the soda ash market is still prominent. Although production has declined periodically, the overall supply is still loose. New orders for downstream float glass and photovoltaic glass are underperforming, and the inventory is at a high level compared to the same period. The recent weakness in the chemical sector has further dragged down market sentiment [1] Strategies - Glass: Volatility [2] - Soda Ash: Slightly Weak Volatility [2] Double - Silicon (Silicomanganese and Ferrosilicon) Market Analysis - Silicomanganese futures showed a weak trend yesterday, with the main contract dropping 2.19% in a single day. There are production - reduction plans in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, and some factories started production reduction on April 1st. The cost of manganese ore is strongly supported, and the mainstream steel procurement prices have not been finalized. The price of 6517 in the northern market is 6200 - 6300 yuan/ton, and in the southern market, it is 6300 - 6350 yuan/ton [3] - Ferrosilicon futures were weak yesterday, with the main contract dropping 3.17%. The spot market was consolidating, and trading showed no improvement. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon in the main production areas is 5550 - 5650 yuan/ton, and 75 - grade ferrosilicon is priced at 5950 - 6100 yuan/ton [3] Supply - Demand and Logic - This week, silicomanganese production decreased, and inventory decreased slightly but remained at a high level compared to the same period. The production capacity is still loose, and the high - inventory pressure leads to a large supply - demand contradiction. Although short - term factors such as the Australian hurricane, South African oil and gas shortages, and increased shipping costs may drive up prices, the overall industrial chain is still loose [3] - The supply - demand contradiction in ferrosilicon is relatively limited. Due to improved profits, production is expected to increase. The inventory is relatively healthy, but the loose production capacity suppresses price increases. The tense situation in the Middle East has raised expectations of increased ferrosilicon costs, so the price is slightly bullish [4] Strategies - Silicomanganese: Volatility [5] - Ferrosilicon: Volatility [5]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The steel market is waiting for the peak season's performance and is oscillating. The glass and soda ash markets are in a weak consolidation due to poor rigid demand. The silicon manganese shows a situation of inventory accumulation, while the silicon iron has obvious inventory reduction [1][3] Summary by Related Catalogs Glass and Soda Ash - **Market Analysis** - Glass: The main glass contract continued its weak oscillation yesterday, with an intraday high - opening and low - closing and a slight recovery at the end. Spot prices followed the decline of the futures, and transaction prices were relatively stable. This week, the daily melting volume of float glass continued to decline, and the glass factory inventory decreased from a high level [1] - Soda Ash: The main soda ash contract showed a narrow - range oscillation pattern yesterday. Spot prices slightly decreased with the futures, and downstream buyers mainly replenished inventory based on rigid demand. This week, soda ash production increased slightly, and the factory inventory continued to decline [1] - **Supply - Demand and Logic** - Glass: The current situation of weak supply and demand in the glass market continues. Enterprise profits are shrinking, cold - repair production lines are increasing, and production is continuously declining. Downstream deep - processing orders are weak, and traders and end - users mainly make rigid - demand purchases, resulting in overall weak demand. Although the inventory has decreased from a high level, prices are still under pressure due to the under - expected real estate data [1] - Soda Ash: Soda ash production continues to increase, and supply pressure still exists. Float glass production is continuously decreasing, and the photovoltaic glass market has not improved, resulting in weak downstream demand. Enterprise inventory is transferred to downstream, but the total inventory still faces high - level pressure. However, affected by the Middle East situation, costs are affected by energy prices, and soda ash price fluctuations may intensify. Later, attention should be paid to cost support and the progress of new soda ash production projects [1] - **Strategy** - Glass: Oscillation [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillation [2] Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron - **Market Analysis** - Silicon Manganese: The silicon manganese futures oscillated yesterday. Currently, the pricing of East China steel mills is around 6100 - 6200 yuan/ton, and factories have a strong sentiment of holding prices. Manganese ore prices are firm, with the price of 6517 in the northern market at 5900 - 6000 yuan/ton and in the southern market at 5950 - 6050 yuan/ton [3] - Silicon Iron: The main silicon iron futures contract fluctuated slightly yesterday. The overall supply - demand of the silicon iron market is stable. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron natural lumps in the main production areas is 5600 - 5650 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron is reported at 5950 - 6000 yuan/ton [3] - **Supply - Demand and Logic** - Silicon Manganese: This week, the production of manganese silicon slightly decreased, the apparent demand slightly increased, and the enterprise inventory increased. Currently, the manganese ore shipment volume remains at a high level. As the profits in the production areas improve, the overall supply - demand of silicon manganese is relatively loose, and the price increase is still restricted. Later, continuous attention should be paid to manganese ore cost support, inventory changes, and silicon manganese warehouse receipts [3] - Silicon Iron: This week, the production of silicon iron increased significantly, the apparent demand improved, and the inventory decreased. Since silicon iron enterprises maintain low - load production, the supply pressure of silicon iron is relatively controllable. Coupled with the resumption of production in the downstream to boost rigid demand, the fundamental contradictions of silicon iron are limited. Considering the relatively loose silicon iron production capacity, the price increase is still restricted. Continuous attention should be paid to silicon iron production, silicon iron inventory, and power price policies in the production areas [3] - **Strategy** - Silicon Manganese: Oscillation [4] - Silicon Iron: Oscillation [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current steel fundamentals are in a "weak balance" state. Although demand is marginally improving and inventory is gradually being depleted, there is no strong trend - driving force yet. Attention should be paid to the release rhythm of peak - season demand and the impact of raw material price fluctuations on the cost side [2]. - Due to negotiation issues and overseas geopolitical conflicts, iron ore prices are fluctuating widely. There is a need to pay attention to subsequent negotiation progress and geopolitical situation development [5]. - In the short term, short - selling operations may not be appropriate before the Iran - US situation eases significantly. It is advisable to look for short - term rebound opportunities in undervalued and highly elastic varieties [9][15]. - For manganese silicon, factors such as supply - demand pattern, high inventory, and weak downstream demand are mostly priced in. Future market trends are mainly influenced by the overall market sentiment, cost push from manganese ore, and supply contraction (or contraction expectations) of ferrosilicon [10]. - In the short term, coking coal prices may have upward pulses due to market sentiment spillover, but in the medium - to - long term, coking coal prices are expected to be optimistic from June to October [15]. - Industrial silicon is expected to fluctuate weakly under cost support, while polysilicon is expected to be under pressure and fluctuate in the short term [18][20]. - Float glass is expected to maintain a wide - range oscillation pattern, and soda ash is expected to maintain a weak trend in the short term. Attention should be paid to the actual demand release rhythm during the "Golden March and Silver April" and the inventory changes in major production areas [23][25]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Steel Market Information - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3135 yuan/ton, a decrease of 5 yuan/ton (-0.15%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts were 41,676 tons, a net increase of 27 tons. The position of the main contract was 1.4492 million lots, a net decrease of 65,665 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated price in Tianjin was 3200 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, and the aggregated price in Shanghai was 3240 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan/ton [1]. - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3302 yuan/ton, a decrease of 8 yuan/ton (-0.24%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts were 473,996 tons, a net decrease of 292 tons. The position of the main contract was 1.1432 million lots, a net decrease of 28,781 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated price in Lecong was 3280 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, and the aggregated price in Shanghai was 3280 yuan/ton, a decrease of 10 yuan/ton [1]. Strategy Viewpoints - The real - estate data from January to February was still weak. The real - estate investment repair momentum was insufficient, and the terminal demand was likely to remain weak. The hot - rolled coil demand recovered quickly, the output increased slightly, and the inventory entered the depletion stage. The rebar supply and demand both increased, and the inventory decreased slightly, showing a neutral performance overall [2]. Iron Ore Market Information - The main contract of iron ore (I2605) closed at 807.50 yuan/ton, with a change of -0.43% (-3.50). The position changed by -8625 lots to 446,900 lots. The weighted position of iron ore was 866,600 lots. The spot price of PB fines at Qingdao Port was 791 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 32.78 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 3.90% [4]. Strategy Viewpoints - The overseas ore shipments in the latest period rebounded month - on - month. The shipments from Australia increased, those from Brazil remained stable, and the shipments from non - mainstream countries increased slightly. The near - end arrivals decreased. The daily average pig iron output increased by 69,500 tons to 2.2815 million tons. The blast furnaces that resumed production were mainly in Hebei after the end of production restrictions. The pig iron output is expected to continue to rise. The steel mill profitability rate continued to rise slightly. The port inventory decreased slightly from the high level, and the steel mill's imported ore inventory increased. Overall, the overseas supply of iron ore fluctuated at a high level and declined marginally. The BHP negotiation issue intensified the expectation of resource structural tension. The iron ore price fluctuated widely due to negotiation issues and overseas geopolitical conflicts [5]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Information - On March 19, the main contract of manganese silicon (SM605) rose 0.81% intraday and closed at 6188 yuan/ton. The spot price of 6517 manganese silicon in Tianjin was 6000 yuan/ton, with a conversion to the futures price of 6190 yuan/ton, a premium of 2 yuan/ton to the futures price. The main contract of ferrosilicon (SF605) rose 0.48% intraday and closed at 5824 yuan/ton. The spot price of 72 ferrosilicon in Tianjin was 6000 yuan/ton, a premium of 176 yuan/ton to the futures price [8]. Strategy Viewpoints - The supply - demand pattern of manganese silicon was still not ideal, but these factors were mostly priced in. The fundamentals of ferrosilicon were good. The future market trends of manganese silicon and ferrosilicon were mainly influenced by the overall market sentiment, cost push from manganese ore, and supply contraction (or contraction expectations) of ferrosilicon. Attention should be paid to possible restrictive measures on manganese ore exports in South Africa and Gabon and the progress of the "dual - carbon" policy [10]. Coking Coal and Coke Market Information - On March 19, the main contract of coking coal (JM2605) initially rose due to the influence of crude oil sentiment but then fell due to the market environment, and finally rose 0.26% intraday and closed at 1159.5 yuan/ton. The spot price of low - sulfur main coking coal in Shanxi was 1464.9 yuan/ton, with a conversion to the futures price of 1272.5 yuan/ton, a premium of 113 yuan/ton to the futures price; the spot price of medium - sulfur main coking coal in Shanxi was 1300 yuan/ton, with a conversion to the futures price of 1284 yuan/ton, a premium of 124.5 yuan/ton to the futures price; the price of Mongolian 5 cleaned coal in Wubulang Jinquan Industrial Park was 1240 yuan/ton, with a conversion to the futures price of 1215 yuan/ton, a premium of 55.5 yuan/ton to the futures price. The main contract of coke (J2605) fell 0.03% intraday and closed at 1721.0 yuan/ton. The spot price of quasi - first - grade wet - quenched coke at Rizhao Port was 1470 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, with a conversion to the futures price of 1725.5 yuan/ton, a premium of 4.5 yuan/ton to the futures price; the spot price of quasi - first - grade dry - quenched coke in Lvliang was 1495 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, with a conversion to the futures price of 1710.5 yuan/ton, a discount of 10.5 yuan/ton to the futures price [12]. Strategy Viewpoints - Last week, coking coal prices benefited from the energy sentiment premium brought by the high - level crude oil due to the continuous perturbation of the Middle - East situation, and coke prices mainly followed the cost - side coking coal price fluctuations. In the short term, short - selling operations may not be appropriate before the Iran - US situation eases significantly. The inventory structure will show that downstream steel mills and coking plants actively reduce inventory, and upstream mines accumulate inventory, which will restrict the demand for coking coal and coke in the short term. In the medium - to - long term, coking coal prices are expected to be optimistic from June to October [14][15]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Information - Industrial silicon: The closing price of the main contract of industrial silicon (SI2605) was 8285 yuan/ton, a change of -1.07% (-90). The weighted contract position increased by 14,461 lots to 378,927 lots. The spot price of non - oxygen - blown 553 in East China was 9100 yuan/ton, a decrease of 100 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a basis of 815 yuan/ton for the main contract; the spot price of 421 was 9600 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, with a basis of 515 yuan/ton for the main contract after conversion to the futures price [17]. - Polysilicon: The closing price of the main contract of polysilicon (PS2605) was 38,550 yuan/ton, a change of -3.88% (-1555). The weighted contract position decreased by 3390 lots to 50,915 lots. The average price of N - type granular silicon was 44 yuan/kg, unchanged from the previous day; the average price of N - type dense material was 42 yuan/kg, a decrease of 1 yuan/kg from the previous day; the average price of N - type re - feeding material was 43.75 yuan/kg, a decrease of 1.75 yuan/kg from the previous day. The basis of the main contract was 5200 yuan/ton [19]. Strategy Viewpoints - Industrial silicon: The supply - demand pattern was weak on both sides. Due to the influence of overseas geopolitical conflicts and energy price fluctuations, the cost support was relatively solid. It is expected to fluctuate weakly under cost support [18]. - Polysilicon: The fundamentals were weak, and the price pressure remained. The inventory of the silicon wafer link was slowly depleted, and the downstream enterprise operating rate recovery was less than expected. The polysilicon inventory pressure increased, and the downstream restocking was only for rigid demand. The market new orders were few, and the price declined. The futures price is expected to be under pressure and fluctuate in the short term [20]. Glass and Soda Ash Market Information - Glass: The main contract of glass closed at 1066 yuan/ton on Thursday afternoon, a decrease of 2.56% (-28). The quoted price of large - size glass in North China was 1070 yuan, unchanged from the previous day; the quoted price in Central China was 1090 yuan, unchanged from the previous day. On March 19, the weekly inventory of float glass sample enterprises was 74.436 million cases, a decrease of 1.413 million cases (-1.86%). In terms of positions, the top 20 long - position holders reduced 4218 long positions, and the top 20 short - position holders reduced 17,285 short positions [22]. - Soda ash: The main contract of soda ash closed at 1211 yuan/ton on Thursday afternoon, a decrease of 2.57% (-32). The quoted price of heavy soda ash in Shahe was 1201 yuan, unchanged from the previous day. On March 19, the weekly inventory of soda ash sample enterprises was 1.8538 million tons, a decrease of 77,900 tons (-1.86%), among which the inventory of heavy soda ash was 890,700 tons, a decrease of 27,400 tons, and the inventory of light soda ash was 963,100 tons, a decrease of 50,500 tons. In terms of positions, the top 20 long - position holders reduced 6678 long positions, and the top 20 short - position holders reduced 25,634 short positions [24]. Strategy Viewpoints - Glass: The Middle - East geopolitical situation led to an increase in fuel costs, providing cost support. The market demand improved slightly, and the overall trading activity increased. It is expected to maintain a wide - range oscillation pattern in the short term, and attention should be paid to the actual demand release rhythm during the "Golden March and Silver April" and the inventory changes in major production areas. The reference range for the main contract is 1030 - 1110 yuan/ton [23]. - Soda ash: The Middle - East geopolitical situation led to an increase in international oil prices, driving up the prices of coal - chemical and soda ash. However, as the situation stagnated, the upward momentum of coal - chemical weakened. The supply was relatively abundant, and the demand for raw material restocking by glass enterprises was still strong. It is expected to maintain a weak trend in the short term, and attention should be paid to the actual demand release rhythm during the "Golden March and Silver April" and the inventory changes in main production areas. The reference range for the main contract is 1180 - 1250 yuan/ton [25].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The current fundamentals of the steel sector are moderately weak, with the short - term core contradiction focused on inventory digestion and demand verification. Before the real demand in the peak season is fully confirmed, prices are unlikely to show a trending market and will probably maintain a range - bound, slightly weak operation. Attention should be paid to the rhythm of peak - season demand and raw material price trends [2] - The overseas supply of iron ore fluctuates at a high level with a marginal decline. Affected by negotiation issues and overseas geopolitical conflicts, ore prices will fluctuate widely. Attention should be paid to subsequent negotiation progress and geopolitical developments [5] - Due to the ongoing US - Iran conflict, the overall sentiment in the commodity market is significantly bullish. It may not be suitable to operate in the short - term short direction. It is advisable to look for short - term rebound opportunities in undervalued and highly elastic varieties [9] - The fundamentals of industrial silicon show a weak supply - demand pattern, and it is expected to fluctuate under cost support. The fundamentals of polysilicon are weak, and prices are under pressure, with a short - term expectation of fluctuating under pressure [18][20] - It is expected that the float glass market will maintain a wide - range fluctuation pattern in the short term, and the soda ash market will continue a moderately strong fluctuation trend. Attention should be paid to the release rhythm of actual demand during the "Golden March and Silver April" and inventory changes in major production areas [23][25] Summary by Categories Steel Market Information - The afternoon closing price of the rebar main contract was 3142 yuan/ton, up 22 yuan/ton (0.705%) from the previous trading day.

The aggregated price of rebar in Tianjin was 3180 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton, and in Shanghai was 3250 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan/ton [1] - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3295 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton (0.610%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts on the day were 474,583 tons, with no change. The position volume of the main contract was 1.1982 million lots, a net decrease of 45,497 lots. The aggregated price of hot - rolled coils in Lecong was 3280 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton, and in Shanghai was 3280 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton [1] Strategy - This week, the demand for hot - rolled coils has significantly recovered, production has slightly declined due to maintenance, and the inventory accumulation rate has slowed down. For rebar, as the operating rate gradually recovers, both supply and demand have increased, and the inventory growth rate has slowed down. Overall, the fundamentals of steel are moderately weak [2] Iron Ore Market Information - On Friday, the main iron ore contract (I2605) closed at 811.50 yuan/ton, with a change of + 2.01% (+ 16.00). The position changed by - 9239 lots to 471,500 lots. The weighted position volume of iron ore was 887,700 lots. The spot price of PB fines at Qingdao Port was 798 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 36.39 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 4.29% [4] Strategy - In terms of supply, the overseas ore shipments in the latest period decreased month - on - month. The shipments from Australia and Brazil both declined, and those from non - mainstream countries also decreased. The near - term arrivals stopped falling and rebounded. In terms of demand, the daily average hot metal output in the latest period decreased by 63,900 tons to 2.212 million tons. Blast furnace maintenance was mainly affected by environmental protection restrictions, concentrated in Hebei. The resumption of blast furnaces is expected to be gradually realized in the next period. The profitability rate of steel mills increased month - on - month. Port inventories increased slightly and remained at a high level. Overall, the overseas supply of iron ore fluctuates at a high level with a marginal decline, and the ore price will fluctuate widely [5] Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Information - On March 13, the manganese silicon main contract (SM605) rose 0.23% intraday, closing at 6176 yuan/ton. The spot price of 6517 manganese silicon in Tianjin was 5950 yuan/ton, equivalent to 6140 on the futures market, with a discount of 36 yuan/ton. The ferrosilicon main contract (SF605) fell 0.57%, closing at 5888 yuan/ton. The spot price of 72 ferrosilicon in Tianjin was 6100 yuan/ton, with a premium of 212 yuan/ton [7] - Last week, the manganese silicon futures price first rose sharply and then quickly fell, followed by a fluctuating upward trend, with a weekly increase of 48 yuan/ton or + 0.78%. The ferrosilicon futures price also rose quickly at the beginning of the week and then fell, followed by a moderately strong fluctuation, with a weekly increase of 32 yuan/ton or + 0.54% [8] Strategy - The overall sentiment in the commodity market is bullish. It may not be suitable to operate in the short - term short direction. The supply - demand pattern of manganese silicon is still not ideal, while that of ferrosilicon is good. The future market trends of the two will be affected by the overall market sentiment and cost and supply factors [9][10] Coking Coal and Coke Market Information - On March 13, the coking coal main contract (JM2605) rose 2.17% intraday, closing at 1178.0 yuan/ton. The coke main contract (J2605) rose 0.61%, closing at 1737.5 yuan/ton [12] - Last week, the coking coal futures price fluctuated upward, with a weekly increase of 60.5 yuan/ton or + 5.28%. The coke price also showed a fluctuating upward trend, with a weekly increase of 47.5 yuan/ton or + 2.79% [13] Strategy - Due to the ongoing US - Iran conflict, the overall sentiment in the commodity market is bullish. The price of coking coal is affected by the energy sentiment premium, and coke follows the cost - side coking coal price. In the short term, the inventory structure will restrict the demand for both, but attention should be paid to the possible upward price impulses. In the long term, the coking coal price is expected to rise from June to October [15] Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Information - On Friday, the industrial silicon futures main contract (SI2605) closed at 8675 yuan/ton, with a change of + 0.35% (+ 30). The weighted contract position changed by - 10,479 lots to 342,247 lots [17] - On Friday, the polysilicon futures main contract (PS2605) closed at 42,040 yuan/ton, with a change of - 1.68% (- 720). The weighted contract position changed by + 891 lots to 55,056 lots [19] Strategy - The supply - demand pattern of industrial silicon is weak, and it is expected to fluctuate under cost support. The fundamentals of polysilicon are weak, with inventory pressure increasing, and it is expected to fluctuate under pressure in the short term [18][20] Glass and Soda Ash Market Information - On Friday afternoon, the glass main contract closed at 1113 yuan/ton, up 0.09% (+ 1). The inventory of float glass sample enterprises in the week of March 12 was 75.849 million cases, a net decrease of 3.788 million cases (- 4.76%) [22] - On Friday afternoon, the soda ash main contract closed at 1256 yuan/ton, up 0.08% (+ 1). The inventory of soda ash sample enterprises in the week of March 12 was 1.9317 million tons, a net decrease of 15,500 tons (- 4.76%) [24] Strategy - The glass market has cost - side support, and the demand has slightly recovered. It is expected to maintain a wide - range fluctuation pattern in the short term. The soda ash market is affected by rising oil and coal prices, and supply is sufficient while demand is rigid. It is expected to continue a moderately strong fluctuation trend in the short term [23][25]

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the content about the report industry investment rating. Core Views - The current supply and demand in the steel market are both weak, with steel prices showing small fluctuations [1]. - The trading atmosphere in the glass and soda ash market is cold, and the prices are weakly oscillating [1]. - The market fluctuations of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese have weakened, and the alloys are oscillating within a narrow range [3]. Summary by Related Catalogs Glass and Soda Ash Market Analysis - Glass: The main glass contract showed a weakly oscillating trend throughout the day. With the Spring Festival holiday approaching, the trading volume decreased, and the trading atmosphere in the spot and futures markets was cold [1]. - Soda Ash: The main soda ash contract continued to operate weakly, with narrow - range oscillations. The trading atmosphere in the spot market was cold, and the market was mainly for rigid - demand purchases [1]. Supply and Demand Logic - Glass: The fundamentals are still weak. There is an increasing expectation of production suspension in the Shahe area, which supports the market. However, the downstream is in the traditional consumption off - season, and the demand is cold. The current low price allows the market to tolerate higher inventory. In the short term, it will continue to operate in an oscillating manner [1]. - Soda Ash: The supply of soda ash remains loose. With the progress of new production projects, the supply pressure continues to increase. As the Spring Festival approaches, downstream consumption shows a seasonal decline due to more cold repairs. The total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers is still at a high level, and the de - stocking process is slow, with large overall supply - demand contradictions [1]. Strategy - Glass: Oscillating [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating [2] Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese Market Analysis - Silicomanganese: The silicomanganese futures showed a small - scale oscillation, and the volatility decreased compared to the previous period. The spot market was stable. There were new ignition situations in northern factories, with the price of 6517 in the northern market ranging from 5580 - 5680 yuan/ton and in the southern market from 5700 - 5750 yuan/ton [3]. - Ferrosilicon: The ferrosilicon futures followed the overall black market and operated weakly. The spot market was weak, and the market was full of a strong wait - and - see sentiment. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon natural lumps in the main production areas was 5250 - 5350 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was 5850 - 6000 yuan/ton [3]. Supply and Demand Logic - Silicomanganese: The fundamentals of silicomanganese have improved. There is an expectation of an increase in molten iron production, and the demand for silicomanganese has marginally improved. However, the inventory pressure is still large, and the supply - demand pattern remains loose. The recent South African tariff policy may increase the cost of manganese ore, and attention should be paid to the cost support of manganese ore and inventory changes [3]. - Ferrosilicon: The fundamental contradictions of ferrosilicon are controllable. Enterprises have actively reduced production loads. Considering the resumption of production in steel mills, the demand for ferrosilicon is expected to improve marginally. The overall over - capacity of ferrosilicon suppresses the price increase, and continuous attention should be paid to the de - stocking situation and power price policies in production areas [3]. Strategy - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Steel: Oscillation [2] - Iron Ore: Oscillation with a bearish bias [4] - Coking Coal and Coke: Oscillation [6] - Thermal Coal: Stable with a slight upward trend before the holiday, may face pressure after the holiday [7] Core Views - The overall contradiction in the steel market is not prominent, with poor building material demand, weak downstream procurement sentiment, and seasonal inventory accumulation slightly higher than last year, suppressing rebar prices. Plate demand is relatively stable, but high inventory restricts the price space of hot-rolled coils. Before the holiday, steel inventory continues to increase, and the supply-demand pressure increases slightly. Coupled with the weakening of raw material prices, steel prices will maintain an oscillating and weakening trend [1]. - The supply-demand contradiction of iron ore is intensifying. The global iron ore shipment has significantly declined, and the port inventory has continued to increase. As the steel mill replenishment is approaching the end, the support of raw material prices has weakened. If the port liquidity factors are removed, the port supply will form a great impact [3]. - The supply and demand of coking coal and coke are both weak. The coking coal price is stable with a slight downward trend, and the demand has significantly shrunk. The supply of coke is marginally relaxed, and the speculative demand has sharply decreased. It is expected that the prices will oscillate in the short term, following the cost fluctuations [5][6]. - Due to the shutdown of coal mines for the holiday, the supply of thermal coal has shrunk, and the downstream factories have also gradually closed for the holiday, resulting in a weak supply and demand situation. The import market is affected by supply, and the domestic coal price continues to rise slightly. It is expected that the price will be stable with a slight upward trend before the holiday, and may face pressure after the holiday [7]. Market Analysis Steel - Futures and spot: The steel futures market oscillated downward yesterday. In the spot market, the rebar inventory in Hangzhou over the weekend was 770,000 tons, and the rebar delivery was 16,000 tons. The inventory in the same period last year was 555,000 tons, and the delivery was 30,000 tons. According to Gangyin data, the building material inventory increased seasonally, and the coil inventory showed a trend of inventory accumulation [1]. - Supply and demand logic: Currently, the overall contradiction in the steel market is not prominent. The demand for building materials is poor, the downstream procurement sentiment is weak, and the seasonal inventory accumulation is slightly higher than last year, suppressing the rebar price. The demand for plates is relatively stable, but the high inventory restricts the price space of hot-rolled coils. Before the holiday, the steel inventory continues to increase, and the supply-demand pressure increases slightly. Coupled with the weakening of raw material prices, steel prices will maintain an oscillating and weakening trend. In the later stage, attention should be paid to the winter storage replenishment and the change of raw material prices [1]. Iron Ore - Futures and spot: The iron ore futures price was weak yesterday. In the spot market, the prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties at Tangshan Port fluctuated slightly, and traders' quotes mostly followed the market. Steel mills' procurement was mainly for rigid demand. The global iron ore shipment decreased significantly this period, with a total shipment of 25.35 million tons, a month-on-month decrease of 18.1%. The arrival volume at 45 ports continued to decline, with a total arrival volume of 23.61 million tons, a month-on-month decrease of 5.0% [3]. - Supply and demand logic: In terms of supply, the non-mainstream shipment remained at a high level under high ore prices, and the global shipment volume decreased seasonally. In terms of demand, the daily average pig iron output remained stable, and the iron ore consumption increased slightly month-on-month. The iron ore port inventory continued to increase. As the steel mill replenishment was approaching the end, the support of raw material prices weakened. Currently, the supply-demand contradiction of iron ore continues to deepen. If the port liquidity factors are removed, the port supply will form a great impact. In the later stage, attention should be paid to the change of iron ore inventory and the negotiation progress [3]. Coking Coal and Coke - Futures and spot: The main contracts of coking coal and coke futures oscillated yesterday. In terms of coking coal, the coking coal price has been stable with a slight downward trend recently, and individual coal varieties have been adjusted. As the holiday approaches, the downstream coking enterprises' replenishment has entered the final stage, and the demand has significantly shrunk. In terms of coke, the coking enterprises that were shut down due to environmental protection have gradually resumed production, and the coking enterprises' production enthusiasm has improved month-on-month. The supply of coke is marginally relaxed. Most steel mills have completed the winter storage replenishment, and the speculative demand for coke has sharply decreased [5]. - Supply and demand logic: In terms of coke, the supply has increased slightly recently. Most steel mills have completed the winter storage replenishment. As the holiday approaches, the coking plants adjust their production autonomously. It is expected that the price will oscillate in the short term, following the cost fluctuations. In terms of coking coal, the pig iron output of steel mills has increased, and the rigid demand for coking coal has maintained resilience. As the downstream replenishment is approaching the end, the speculative demand has shrunk. As the Spring Festival approaches, coal mines will gradually shut down for the holiday, and the Mongolian coal customs clearance will be suspended during the Spring Festival. The supply pressure of coking coal will be relieved. It is expected that the coal price will be stable with a narrow adjustment before the Spring Festival. Attention should be paid to the resumption of domestic coal production after the holiday [6]. Thermal Coal - Futures and spot: In terms of production areas, more coal mines in the main production areas have taken holidays, mainly private mines, and most state-owned mines are still in normal production. The supply contraction is gradually increasing. At the same time, the demand for non-electric coal from downstream has also decreased, so the procurement has decreased. The prices of some coal mines are under pressure, and the shipments of some coal mines with high cost performance are relatively good, and the prices have increased slightly. Currently, more coal mines have taken holidays and entered the vacation mode, and the transactions are few. At the port, affected by the supply contraction at the pithead, the market arrival resources are tight. Coupled with the continuous inversion of port shipments, the prices are also rising continuously. In the import market, the sentiment is high. Affected by domestic and Indonesian shipments, the arrival resources are few, and the quotes are continuously firm [7]. - Supply and demand logic: Recently, due to the shutdown of coal mines for the holiday, the supply has shrunk, and the downstream factories have also gradually closed for the holiday, resulting in a weak supply and demand situation. The import market is affected by supply, and the domestic coal price continues to rise slightly. Recently, the RKAB of the leading Indonesian mine has been fully approved, and it is expected that the approval results of other mines will be announced one after another. The Indonesian supply is expected to recover. Overall, the price increase space before the holiday is limited, and it is expected to run stably with a slight upward trend. Attention should be paid to the fact that after the coal mine supply recovers after the holiday, coupled with the approaching end of the peak season, the coal price may face pressure [7].
