Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - Overseas, the Fed may be patient in cutting interest rates due to strong economic data, and the progress of tariff negotiations has made the trade situation clearer, leading to a short - term rebound in the US dollar index. The progress of US - EU trade negotiations has boosted global risk appetite. Domestically, China's economic growth in the first half of the year was higher than expected, but consumption and investment slowed down significantly in June. The "anti - involution" policy and the introduction of stable - growth policies for ten major industries have boosted domestic risk appetite in the short term [2]. - For assets, the stock index is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term, and it is advisable to be cautiously long. Treasury bonds are expected to correct from high - level fluctuations, and it is advisable to wait and see. In the commodity sector, black metals may have increased short - term fluctuations, and it is advisable to wait and see; non - ferrous metals may rebound in the short term, and it is advisable to be cautiously long; energy and chemicals may fluctuate in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see; precious metals may fluctuate at high levels, and it is advisable to wait and see [2]. Summary by Directory Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: Affected by sectors such as hydropower, liquor, and diversified finance, the domestic stock market declined slightly. Although economic growth in the first half of the year was higher than expected, consumption and investment slowed down in June. The "anti - involution" policy and stable - growth policies have boosted risk appetite. The short - term macro - upward drive has increased, and it is advisable to be cautiously long in the short term, paying attention to correction risks [3]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Treasury bonds are expected to correct from high - level fluctuations in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see [2]. Black Metals - **Steel**: The domestic steel futures and spot markets continued to rebound last Friday, but the night - session prices fluctuated. The sharp decline in coking coal prices led to a correction in the steel market. Real - world demand remains weak, and the apparent consumption of five major steel products decreased by 1.98 tons week - on - week. Supply decreased by 1.22 tons week - on - week, mainly due to the decline in hot - rolled coil production. There may be production restrictions around the September 3 parade, and the short - term supply increase is limited. It is advisable to treat the steel market as a range - bound market in the short term [4]. - **Iron Ore**: The futures and spot prices of iron ore corrected last Friday. The weekly iron - water output decreased slightly, and the room for further growth in iron ore demand is limited. Steel mills mainly purchase on demand. The supply of medium - grade powder in ports is sufficient, the block - ore resources are concentrated, and the supply of low - grade powder has been supplemented. The global iron - ore shipment volume increased by 122 tons week - on - week, but the shipments from Australia and Brazil decreased slightly, and the shipments from non - mainstream mines increased significantly. The port inventory increased slightly. It is advisable to treat the iron - ore price as a range - bound market in the short term [4]. Non - Ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The US has reached trade agreements with Japan and the EU, and tariffs are generally easing. The US economy remains resilient, but the manufacturing industry is weakening, while the eurozone manufacturing industry is stabilizing. The future trend of copper prices depends on the tariff implementation time. Short - term stable - growth plans are sentimentally positive for copper prices. The current spot TC of copper concentrate is - 42.63 dollars/ton, and Comex copper inventories are approaching 250,000 short tons [9][10]. - **Aluminum**: Fundamentally, the situation is weakening, with a slight increase in domestic social inventories and a significant increase in LME inventories. Although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's document has boosted market sentiment, the actual impact is expected to be limited. It is advisable not to short for the time being and wait for the sentiment to cool down [10]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and the production cost of recycled aluminum plants is rising, leading to losses and even production cuts. It is in the off - season for demand, and manufacturing orders are growing weakly. The short - term price is expected to fluctuate strongly, but the upside is limited [10]. - **Tin**: The combined operating rate of Yunnan and Jiangxi has increased to 55.51%, and the supply of tin mines is expected to be loose. Terminal demand is weak, and the inventory has increased by 230 tons. The price is expected to fluctuate in the short term, and the upside will be suppressed in the medium term [11]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The exchange has restricted the position of the LC2509 contract, and the commodity sentiment has declined. There are many supply - side disturbances under the "anti - involution" background. It is advisable to wait and see and look for opportunities to go long after the correction. The weekly output of lithium carbonate decreased by 2.5% to 18,630 tons, and the weekly operating rate was 48.6%. The price of imported lithium ore has rebounded, and the social inventory and warehouse - receipt inventory have increased [12]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The "anti - involution" market has driven the futures and spot prices of industrial silicon above the full cost of the main low - cost area, but there are inventory and supply pressures above. The demand for silicone has decreased due to a fault - shutdown. It is necessary to be vigilant against short - term correction risks [13]. - **Polysilicon**: The spot price remained stable last week, and the futures price had a high premium. The number of warehouse receipts increased. It is necessary to pay attention to the convergence of the basis. The inventory increased slightly, and the prices of N - type silicon wafers, battery cells, and components increased. Under the influence of the "anti - involution" policy in the photovoltaic industry, the price of silicon wafers increased by 35% in July, and the production schedule decreased by 10% [14]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The recent driving force in the oil market is limited. The strengthening of the US dollar and the weakening confidence in the US reaching an agreement with major trading partners have led to a slight decline in oil prices. The probability of the US and Europe reaching an agreement is 50%, which may threaten energy demand. The inventory is low, and the spot market has not shown obvious signs of weakness. The strengthening of the US dollar may continue to suppress priced commodities, and oil prices are expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term [15]. - **Asphalt**: The price of asphalt has corrected with the sector and continued to fluctuate at a low level. The inventory has not shown obvious signs of depletion, and the overall demand is average. The basis has rebounded slightly, mainly due to the decline in the futures price. The social inventory is slightly accumulating. After the peak season, the market expectation will gradually decline. The short - term absolute price will follow the crude - oil center, but the upside of the futures price is limited due to the inventory situation [15]. - **PX**: The short - term PTA operating rate remains high, and the tight supply situation of PX continues. The overseas price has risen to 874 US dollars, and the price difference between PX and naphtha has also risen to 293 US dollars. However, the PTA processing fee has dropped to a six - month low, which may lead to production cuts in leading plants. PX occupies too much industrial - chain profit, which may lead to downstream negative feedback risks. It is expected to fluctuate in the short term, and the upside is not overly optimistic [15]. - **PTA**: The spot - trading volume is still declining, and some spot prices have weakened to a discount of 5 yuan to the main contract. The main - contract price has weakened with the futures market. The downstream operating rate remains low at 88.7%, and downstream production cuts still exist. The PTA processing fee has remained at a low level of around 150, which may lead to a reduction in the operating rate. The short - term inventory is slightly accumulating, and the price is expected to fluctuate weakly [16]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The port inventory has decreased slightly to 54.4 tons, and the import volume has remained low. The coal - chemical products have risen slightly due to capacity - adjustment news. However, there is an expectation of the resumption of domestic shutdown and maintenance plants, the short - term downstream operating rate remains low, and the terminal orders in the off - season have not shown unexpected growth. The futures price has failed to break through the pressure level and is expected to continue to fluctuate within a range [16]. - **Short - Fiber**: The price of crude oil has fluctuated moderately, but the short - fiber price has declined with the sector. The terminal orders are still average, and the operating rate has bottomed out but has not rebounded significantly. The short - fiber inventory has decreased slightly, but more significant inventory depletion needs to wait until the peak - season demand stocking in August. The short - fiber price is expected to follow the polyester end in the medium term and can be shorted on rallies [16]. - **Methanol**: The coal - mine capacity - verification policy has pushed up coal prices, which has strengthened the support for methanol. Under the "anti - involution" policy, the market is overheated, and the short - term price is still strong. Fundamentally, the upside of methanol is limited by plant restart, increased imports, and compressed MTO profits. It is necessary to be vigilant against the expected difference near the Politburo meeting, and it is advisable to be cautiously long or wait and see for conservatives [16]. - **PP**: Affected by multiple policies such as "anti - involution", "chemical - plant assessment", and coal inspections, the PP price has rebounded, and the bullish market has continued. The short - term price is strong, but the futures price will face a pressure level, and the supply - demand situation is still weak. It is advisable to wait and see [17]. - **LLDPE**: Short - term macro - policies have boosted commodity prices, and polyethylene has followed the upward trend. In the medium and long term, the oversupply situation has not changed significantly, and downstream demand has weakened during the price increase. The import profit has increased significantly, which may lead to a worse - than - expected fundamental situation. It is expected to be strong in the short term and weak in the medium and long term [17]. Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The impact of extreme heat in the US soybean - producing areas has decreased. Although the weekly crop - quality rate has slightly decreased, the hot and humid weather is generally beneficial to crop growth. US soybean exports have cooled down, and the news of direct domestic imports of South American soybean meal has weakened China's dependence on US soybeans. Currently, US soybeans are slightly under pressure, but the bullish market for soybean oil provides support. The market is optimistic about the Sino - US negotiations next week, which also provides phased support for US soybeans [18]. - **Palm Oil**: Since July, the production of Malaysian palm oil has progressed smoothly, the exports have weakened month - on - month, and the inventory - accumulation expectation is strong. Fundamentally, India has low oil inventories and high cost - performance, and there is an expectation of improved exports during the festival - stocking period. In the related market, crude oil has fluctuated, and the biodiesel policy has no room for fermentation. The domestic related oil fundamentals are under pressure, and the soybean - palm oil price has rebounded with the correction of palm oil, but the price inversion is still serious. In addition, the arrival of imported palm oil in China has increased, the spot circulation in the off - season is average, and it is close to the near - month import cost line. It is expected that the pressure of selling hedging at high prices may still exist. The palm - oil market is bullish, but the upside resistance has increased significantly. It is advisable to be cautious when chasing long positions [19]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The decline in US soybean and Brazilian export prices has led to a weak adjustment in the expectation of domestic long - term soybean imports. In addition, the increase in direct domestic imports of soybean meal and the reduction of soybean and soybean - meal export tariffs in Argentina have weakened the market's concern about the shortage of soybeans and soybean meal in the fourth quarter. The correction of the futures prices of the 01 contracts of soybean meal and soybean No. 2 has basically priced in the logic of cost decline and is anchored to the cost of direct - imported soybean meal for support. The negative news adjustment has ended, and it is necessary to pay attention to the trend of the US soybean market in the next stage. It is expected that the soybean - meal price will stabilize in the short term. However, if the US soybean production - increase expectation remains stable, there may be a further expanding bearish market at the end of the crop - growth period in late August [20]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: The soybean - oil inventory pressure is prominent, the terminal consumption is still in the off - season, and the basis quotes in various regions have continued to weaken. Currently, the soybean - meal price has declined significantly, and the cost has not changed significantly. The soybean - meal price has received seesaw support in the short term. In addition, the fundamental expectation of related palm oil is also poor. Therefore, the soybean - palm oil price difference is expected to have a phased upward trend in the short term. For rapeseed oil, the domestic port inventory is high, the circulation is slow, and with the increase in direct - import channels for rapeseed and oil meal, the concern about future supply is fading. The preference of long - position funds is not high, and the weak - range market may continue [20].

Market Overview - The equity market continued to strengthen from July 21-25, with the Wind All A closing at 5620.73, up 2.21% from July 18, and the China Convertible Bond Index rising 2.14% during the same period[1][8]. - Year-to-date, the Wind All A has increased by 11.93%, while the China Convertible Bond Index has risen by 11.82%[1][8]. Sector Rotation - The dominant sectors shifted from infrastructure to technology, driven by the commencement of the Yajiang Hydropower Station, which boosted market sentiment and funding participation[1][11]. - From July 21-25, the infrastructure narrative experienced three phases: a significant rise, a narrowing focus, and subsequent pressure, indicating a short-term adjustment in funding logic[1][18]. Investment Strategy - As the market approaches a period of macro events, including the Political Bureau meeting and US-China trade negotiations, maintaining a bullish mindset while employing a rotation strategy is crucial[2][41]. - The technology sector's declining heat and the strengthening of industrial narratives present ongoing investment opportunities, particularly in semiconductors and AI, which are expected to benefit from low-level rebounds[2][46]. Convertible Bond Valuation - As of July 25, the valuation of convertible bonds has reached historical highs, with the median price nearing 130 RMB, supported by strong market conditions despite the high valuation levels[2][52]. - The valuation centers for convertible bonds at various price points have increased, with the 80 RMB parity corresponding to a valuation center of 51.63%, up 1.82 percentage points from July 18[2][31]. Risk Factors - The rapid rotation of equity market styles and potential unexpected adjustments in the convertible bond market rules pose risks that investors should monitor closely[3][3].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Palm Oil**: The current price of palm oil is pushed to a three - year high by positive domestic macro - sentiment, but the fundamentals may not support this high price. There is a chance of a price correction if inventory builds up more than expected in August - September, along with other negative factors. However, if the inventory fails to break through 230 million tons and the supply pressure in July - August does not form effective price pressure, the market may have digested the inventory high, and there may be limited major supply - side negatives later. It is advisable to continuously monitor opportunities to go long on palm oil at low levels [2][4]. - **Soybean Oil**: The domestic soybean oil market is in a situation of weak current reality but strong expectations. Its driving factors currently lie in the weather of US soybeans, the sustainability of soybean oil exports, and the results of Sino - US trade negotiations. It is recommended to follow the trend of the oil and fat sector for now and pay attention to the Sino - US trade results next week to see if a procurement agreement can be reached [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Last Week's Views and Logic - **Palm Oil**: Positive domestic macro - sentiment pushed palm oil to a three - year high, but the fundamentals lacked strong drivers. Without strong supply themes, the high price needed strong downstream demand. With weak demand from India, the price at the high level was difficult to rise further. The palm oil 09 contract fell 0.31% last week [1]. - **Soybean Oil**: As the Sino - US trade negotiation approached, the tense sentiment in the soybean sector rose, which improved the weak reality of domestic soybean oil to some extent, but still could not provide a strong driving force for the price to rise. The soybean oil 09 contract fell 0.20% last week [1]. 3.2 This Week's Views and Logic - **Palm Oil**: After the bearish news of the slight increase in June inventory in the MPOB report was digested, the price rebounded. The market started to trade the de - stocking market in the second half of the year. It is estimated that Malaysia will continue to accumulate inventory in July, but conservatively, it will not exceed 220 million tons. In Indonesia, the price of palm oil is quite resistant to decline. The B50 rumor has a low correlation with the recent price increase. The production recovery in Indonesia may fall short of expectations again. With the US biodiesel policy reducing the supply of US soybean oil in the international market, the international oil and fat market may see a systematic upward trend. In the sales area, the import profit of crude palm oil is higher than that of crude soybean oil, and the reconstruction of channel inventory is underway. If the monthly import volume can be maintained above 80 million tons, it will be difficult for Malaysia's palm oil inventory to exceed 230 million tons. The soybean - palm oil price difference is not expected to return to parity this year. Attention should be paid to the risk of price correction if inventory builds up more than expected in August - September, as well as the potential for early de - stocking and bullish sentiment if production in July - August is lower than expected [2][3][4]. - **Soybean Oil**: The weather speculation of US soybeans is currently weak. Only positive news from Sino - US trade negotiations can potentially lead to a rebound in US soybeans. The domestic soybean oil market is in a state of weak current situation but strong expectations. The recent increase in port soybean inventory, high - level crushing operations, and poor提货 have led to a rapid build - up of soybean oil inventory. The export of large orders of domestic soybean oil to India may narrow the domestic soybean - palm oil price difference to the international level. If the purchase of US soybeans for the October shipment has not been made, there is room for the spread and Brazilian premium to rise, which may benefit soybean oil. It is advisable to follow the oil and fat sector for now and wait for potential opportunities to go long on soybean oil and narrow the spread between rapeseed oil and soybean oil [5]. 3.3 Market Data - **Futures Quotes**: The palm oil main - continuous contract closed at 8,936 yuan/ton, down 0.31%; the soybean oil main - continuous contract closed at 8,144 yuan/ton, down 0.20%; the rapeseed oil main - continuous contract closed at 9,457 yuan/ton, down 1.35%; the Malaysian palm oil main - continuous contract closed at 4,276 ringgit/ton, down 0.93%; the CBOT soybean oil main - continuous contract closed at 55.92 cents/pound, up 0.61% [8]. - **Volume and Open Interest**: The trading volume of the palm oil main - continuous contract was 3,475,013 lots, with an increase of 597,494 lots; the open interest was 456,448 lots, a decrease of 100,607 lots.

The domestic economic growth is basically in line with expectations, and attention should be paid to the intensity of policy reinforcement. The liquidity expectation is cautious due to the tax period. The macro - environment lacks trend - driving factors, and the current low odds and high congestion restrict the further upward space of the bond market [1]. Precious Metals (Gold and Silver) - Gold prices are in a high - level volatile state, and the gold - silver ratio is converging.

The supply of nickel resources is relatively abundant, and the demand for downstream stainless steel is weak. The short - term lack of directional driving force is expected to continue the low - level consolidation [4]. - **Lithium**: The lithium price has insufficient upward driving force. The supply - demand structure of lithium carbonate remains loose, and it is recommended to sell on rallies during the current phased rebound [4]. Silicon Energy - The polysilicon market is expected to have wide - range volatile trends. The supply is expected to increase, but the "anti - involution" production - cut expectation provides support for prices, and the previous strategies can be continued [6]. Steel and Iron Ore - **Rebar**: The rebar price has strong support at the bottom. The supply - demand contradiction accumulates slowly, and the furnace material price is relatively firm. It is recommended to continue holding short positions of out - of - the - money put options [6]. - **Hot - rolled Coil**: The short - term fundamental contradiction of hot - rolled coil accumulates slowly.

The supply - demand is relatively balanced, and the inventory is stable. It is recommended to adjust the option strategy and continue holding the 9 - 1 positive spread strategy [6].

The supply of coking coal is tight in the short - term, and the first - round price increase of coke has been gradually implemented, with a positive market outlook [8]. Soda Ash and Glass - **Soda Ash**: The supply of soda ash exceeds demand, and the long - short game is intense. The arbitrage strategy is temporarily better than the single - side strategy. It is recommended to hold short - term long positions in the 01 - contract for aggressive investors and continue the long - glass 01 - short - soda ash 01 arbitrage strategy [8]. - **Float Glass**: The short - term fundamentals of float glass change little. The "anti - involution" expectation and supply - contraction expectation provide support, but the demand expectation is weak. It is recommended to hold long positions in the 01 - contract and continue the arbitrage strategy [8]. Crude Oil - The crude oil price is in a high - volatility state.

The production enterprise inventory has increased passively, and the supply is expected to increase while the demand is decreasing [10]. Cotton - The cotton price is expected to be volatile. The supply may be tight before the new cotton is listed, but the textile off - season restricts the price increase [10]. Rubber - The rubber price has limited upward space.
