Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Despite the recent Fed rate cut, the US dollar liquidity has tightened instead of loosening, leading to price fluctuations in various assets and significant declines in risk assets [1][2] - The current tightening of US dollar liquidity is mainly caused by the depletion of ONRRP and the accumulation of funds in the TGA account due to the US government shutdown [3] - Whether this liquidity crunch will persist depends on when the US government shutdown ends and the Fed's subsequent operations. If the two parties reach an agreement and the government re - opens, or the Fed injects liquidity, the market may return to normal [4] Summary by Related Content Liquidity Tightening Indicators - **Volume Indicators**: At the end of October, the New York Fed's repurchase volume approached $50 billion, and in early November, the daily average repurchase volume remained at a high level of nearly $15 billion, indicating a normal and continuous liquidity crunch [1][7] - **Price Indicators**: On October 31, the US secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) climbed to 4.22%. Although it dropped to 4.13% on November 4, it was still much higher than the Fed's 3.9% excess reserve rate, with a spread of 23bp, the highest since July 29, 2021 [1][10] Impact on Asset Prices - **US Dollar**: The US dollar index rose from 99.15 on October 29 to 100.21 on November 4 [2][14] - **US Stocks**: The S&P 500 index fell from 6891 points on October 29 to 6772 points on November 4, a cumulative decline of 1.7% [2][14] Causes of Liquidity Tightening - **ONRRP Depletion**: ONRRP has dropped to a historical low, with an average daily volume of $11.8 billion since October. As the "US dollar reservoir", its exhaustion means that each financing of the fiscal TGA account consumes bank reserves, intensifying the liquidity crunch [3][16] - **US Government Shutdown**: During the shutdown, the TGA account balance increased from $758 billion before the shutdown in September to nearly $1 trillion in October, the highest since May 2021, exacerbating the "pumping effect" on the financial market [3][16] Historical Cases of TGA Account Balance Increase - **2020**: Due to the public health event, the TGA account balance increased from $0.38 trillion at the end of March to $1.79 trillion at the end of July, leading to a liquidity crunch. But the market liquidity expanded with the Fed's injection, and the stock market recovered after an initial slump [3][19] - **2022**: After the US Congress approved raising the debt ceiling at the end of 2021, the increase in Treasury bond issuance in 2022 led to a decline in US stocks from the end of March and a strengthening of the US dollar, but the impact only lasted until May [3][19] - **2023**: After the suspension of the debt ceiling in mid - 2023, the Treasury's large - scale bond issuance to rebuild the TGA cash buffer led to a decline in US stocks and a strengthening of the US dollar. The impact weakened after the TGA account balance started to decline in October [3][19] Future Outlook - The persistence of the current liquidity crunch depends on the end of the US government shutdown and the Fed's subsequent operations. If the government re - opens or the Fed injects liquidity, the market may return to the previous trend [4][23]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The macro atmosphere supports market sentiment. In the short term, the supply and demand of coal and coke have marginal fluctuations, generally remaining at a relatively high level. The inventory pressure is temporarily low. The prices should be treated with cautious optimism, and attention should be paid to the pressure at the previous high level [4]. Group 3: Summary According to Relevant Content Market Performance - Last week, the futures prices of coal and coke fluctuated strongly, and the spot market was generally stable and strong. The second round of coke price increase was implemented, and many coke enterprises started the third round of increase, which may be implemented this week [3]. Macro Environment - Last week, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates as expected, and the Sino - US trade negotiation progressed smoothly with eased frictions. The 15th Five - Year Plan in China was released beyond market expectations, which enhanced market risk appetite and supported the recovery of market sentiment [3]. Fundamental Situation Supply - Domestically, coal mines in the main production areas of Shanxi that stopped or reduced production during the National Day basically returned to normal last week, with output quickly recovering. The coking coal output rose to 779,000 tons, an increase of 27,000 tons compared with the previous week. From the import side, high - frequency data showed that the average daily customs clearance volume at the Ganqimaodu Port of Mongolian coal rose to 164,300 tons last week, an increase of 56,000 tons compared with the previous week, returning to a relatively high level [3]. Demand - Steel mill profits continued to shrink, and the profitability rate dropped to about 45%. However, from past experience, the current profitability rate will not lead to large - scale production cuts by steel mills for the time being. The decline in hot metal output last week was mainly due to environmental protection pressure in some areas of Hebei, where steel mills cut production. The average daily hot metal output dropped to 2.3636 million tons, a decrease of 35,500 tons compared with the previous week. As the peak demand season approaches the end, the pressure on finished products is increasing, and the hot metal output tends to decline. Attention should be paid to the transmission of pressure to the raw material side [3]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report - The natural rubber futures market is expected to experience range - bound trading in the short term due to the multi - factor game on the fundamentals.

Basis and Spread - Using the spot quotation of Shanghai Yunnan state - owned whole latex (SCRWF) as the spot reference price and the futures price of the main natural rubber contract as the futures reference price, the basis between the two expanded slightly compared with last week. As of October 30, 2025, the basis was maintained at - 600 yuan/ton, an increase of 15 yuan/ton from last week. As of October 31, 2025, both the domestic and foreign prices of natural rubber declined slightly compared with last week [27][30].

Fundamental Analysis - Supply: The global natural rubber producing areas are in the peak supply season. Recently, the main producing areas at home and abroad have been affected by weather, with high raw material procurement prices last week, providing strong short - term support. However, as the rainfall in some main producing areas decreases, there is an expectation of increased supply. In September 2025, China's imports of natural and synthetic rubber totaled 742,000 tons, a 11.7% month - on - month and 20.8% year - on - year increase. From January to September, the cumulative imports increased significantly. - Demand: Last week, the tire enterprises'开工 rates declined slightly.

The demand side has fair performance but lacks highlights, and the inventory is decreasing with a slowing decline rate. Key factors to watch include China - US trade relations, anti - dumping policies in Europe and the US, weather in rubber - producing areas, terminal demand changes, and zero - tariff policy progress [89][90]. 观点及操作策略 - This week's view: The main natural rubber futures contract is expected to maintain range - bound trading in the short term. - Operation strategy: For single - side trading, stay on the sidelines, and aggressive investors can consider buying on dips; for arbitrage and options, stay on the sidelines for now [91][92].
