Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the reports. 2. Report Core Views - **Steel**: Due to stricter production restrictions in Tangshan, the steel price center has shifted upwards. Although there are increased fundamental contradictions and price pressure in the building materials sector under inventory pressure, the plate demand remains resilient, and the price is relatively strong. With the increasing probability of the Fed's interest - rate cut and expectations of domestic policy intensification, as well as the stimulation of anti - involution policies and pre - holiday stockpiling expectations, steel prices are showing strength [1]. - **Iron Ore**: Before the holidays, the sentiment is positive, and iron ore prices are oscillating upwards. The global shipment of iron ore has increased significantly this week, and the demand is high with a substantial rebound in hot metal production. Considering the pre - holiday stockpiling demand, iron ore consumption has strong resilience [3]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Coke production is restricted, and the prices of coking coal and coke have risen significantly. The second - round price cut of coke has been fully implemented, and there are still expectations of further price cuts. For coking coal, some over - producing mines in Inner Mongolia have been shut down. With the release of downstream pre - holiday stockpiling demand and expectations of Fed's interest - rate cut and domestic policies, it is expected that coking coal and coke will be oscillating strongly in the short term [5][6]. - **Steam Coal**: Due to pre - holiday stockpiling by downstream users, the coal price continues to rise. The supply in the production areas is recovering slowly, and the daily consumption of power coal has decreased, but the non - power coal demand remains strong. In the short term, the price will oscillate, and in the long - term, the supply is still in a loose pattern [7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, steel futures prices oscillated upwards. The overall spot trading was average, with better low - price trading and weaker trading after price increases. Most regional basis shrank, and there was basis trading in some areas. The national building materials trading volume was 11050 tons. Due to poor air quality in Tangshan, some steel mills took blast furnace stoking measures [1]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Under the current inventory pressure, the fundamental contradictions in building materials have increased, and the price is under pressure. The plate demand remains resilient, and the fundamentals are stable with a relatively strong price. Attention should be paid to the improvement in demand. With the increasing probability of the Fed's interest - rate cut, there are stronger expectations of domestic policy intensification, and the steel price is showing strength under the stimulation of anti - involution policies and pre - holiday stockpiling expectations [1]. - **Strategy**: The unilateral strategy is to oscillate, and there are no cross - period, cross - variety, basis trading, or option strategies [2]. Iron Ore - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the iron ore futures prices oscillated upwards. In the spot market, the prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties in Tangshan ports were strong. Traders' quoting enthusiasm was average, and steel mills' purchases were mainly for rigid demand. The total transaction volume of iron ore in the national main ports was 1.394 million tons, a 45.21% increase from the previous day. The total transaction volume of forward - looking spot was 1.23 million tons (10 transactions), a 31.86% decrease from the previous day (with a mine transaction volume of 36000 tons). Tangshan required some steel mills to limit sintering production, which will affect iron ore consumption in the short term [3]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: In terms of supply, the global shipment of iron ore has increased significantly this week. In terms of demand, hot metal production has rebounded substantially, and the demand for iron ore is high. Considering the pre - holiday stockpiling demand, iron ore consumption has strong resilience. Attention should be paid to the impact of the floating cargo volume on port arrivals and the steel mills' pre - holiday stockpiling rhythm [3]. - **Strategy**: The unilateral strategy is to oscillate, and there are no cross - period, cross - variety, basis trading, or option strategies [4]. Coking Coal and Coke - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the main futures contracts of coking coal and coke rose significantly. In the spot market, the second - round price cut of coke was fully implemented, with a cumulative decrease of 100 - 110 yuan/ton, and there are still expectations of further price cuts. For coking coal, some over - producing mines in Inner Mongolia have been shut down and punished. The port market sentiment is positive, with rising upstream quotes, but the overall downstream demand is weak. The import coal trading activity is high. Tangshan's meeting required local coking enterprises to extend the coking time by 30%, which will suppress coke consumption in the short term [5][6]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: For coke, with the continuous increase in finished - product prices, steel mills' profits have expanded, and production enthusiasm has improved, maintaining rigid demand. For coking coal, the downstream pre - holiday stockpiling demand has been released, and coking coal inventory has been continuously reduced. With expectations of Fed's interest - rate cut and domestic policies, it is expected that coking coal and coke will be oscillating strongly in the short term [6]. - **Strategy**: The strategy for coking coal and coke is to oscillate strongly. There are no cross - period, cross - variety, basis trading, or option strategies [6]. Steam Coal - **Market Analysis**: In the production areas, the coal prices in the main production areas continue to rise, and the demand from terminal customers such as chemical and cement industries is good. Some downstream customers still have pre - holiday stockpiling plans. In the port market, the sentiment is positive, with rising upstream quotes and a small amount of downstream inquiry demand. Some traders are more reluctant to sell due to shipping cost support and tight resources, and the quotes of some high - quality coal varieties have increased. In terms of imports, the decline in domestic coal prices has narrowed, the price of imported high - calorie coal is basically stable, and the price of low - calorie coal has rebounded, resulting in a narrowing of the price difference between domestic and imported coal [7]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The supply in the production areas is recovering slowly, and the daily consumption of power coal has decreased, but the non - power coal demand remains strong. In the short term, the price will oscillate, and in the long - term, the supply is still in a loose pattern. Attention should be paid to the consumption and stockpiling of non - power coal [7].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The stock index has been the standout performer, while commodities are poised for a potential upswing. The domestic liquidity is expected to remain loose in 2025, and more incremental policies may be introduced in Q4 to boost the real economy. With external risks gradually easing and an increased probability of a Fed rate cut in September, the attractiveness of RMB assets is further enhanced. The current market is at the resonance of "policy bottom + capital bottom + valuation bottom", but investors need to adapt to the accelerating sector rotation and structural differentiation [1][2][9]. - Crude oil prices may be affected by the decision of eight countries to increase daily production by 137,000 barrels starting from October, and the potential partial or full restoration of the 1.65 million barrels per day voluntary production cut. Attention should be paid to the OPEC's production increase situation [3][12]. - The glass and soda ash markets are in the process of inventory digestion, with the futures market showing weakness and converging towards the spot market. The focus is on whether autumn consumption can further aid in inventory digestion and the impact of new policy changes on the fundamentals in the long - term [3][16]. 3.

Eight countries decided to increase daily production by 137,000 barrels starting from October, and the 1.65 million barrels per day voluntary production cut may be partially or fully restored [3][12]. - **Methanol**: The methanol night session dropped by 0.54%. The operating rate of coal - to - olefin plants decreased, and the coastal methanol inventory reached a historical high, indicating a short - term bearish trend [13]. - **Rubber**: The rubber price showed a weak and volatile trend. The supply is affected by the rainy season in the main producing areas, while the demand is in the off - season with uncertainties. The short - term trend is expected to be in a volatile adjustment [14]. - **Polyolefins**: Polyolefins showed a weak performance. The supply - demand relationship is the main factor in the spot market. Although the inventory is gradually being digested and the rebound of international crude oil prices is helpful, the market still needs time to stop falling. Attention should be paid to the support from downstream procurement [15]. - **Glass and Soda Ash**: The glass futures were in a volatile consolidation. The supply - demand situation is slowly recovering, and the inventory of glass and soda ash production enterprises decreased this week. The futures market is weak and converging towards the spot market, and the focus is on autumn consumption and policy changes [3][16]. - **Metals**: - **Precious Metals**: Gold entered a consolidation phase. The inflation data in August strengthened the expectation of a Fed rate cut in September. The long - term driving factors for gold, such as the US fiscal deficit and central bank gold purchases, still exist. Gold and silver are expected to show a relatively strong trend in the short - term, but investors should be cautious of profit - taking adjustments [17]. - **Copper**: The copper price rose by 0.45% at night. The supply of concentrates is tight, but the smelting output continues to grow. The power, automotive, and other industries have different performance trends, and the copper price is likely to fluctuate within a range [18]. - **Zinc**: The zinc price rose by 0.13% at night. The processing fee of zinc concentrates has increased, and the smelting output is expected to rise. The short - term supply - demand balance may tilt towards oversupply, and the zinc price may fluctuate weakly within a range [19]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The lithium price remained stable. The production increased, and the inventory decreased. However, there are still many uncertainties in the market, and investors should be vigilant against capital speculation [21]. - **Black Metals**: - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The coking coal and coke futures showed a high - level volatile trend. The inventory accumulation is mainly from rebar, and the iron - water output recovery will increase the supply pressure of finished products. Policy expectations and potential production - over - inspection effects can provide some support [22]. - **Iron Ore**: Steel mills have started to resume production, and the demand for iron ore is supported. The global iron ore shipment has decreased recently, and the port inventory is being rapidly depleted. The iron ore price is expected to be volatile and bullish in the future, but attention should be paid to the steel mills' production progress [23]. - **Steel**: The profitability of steel mills remains stable, and the supply pressure is gradually emerging. The steel inventory is accumulating, and the export situation is mixed. The supply - demand contradiction in the steel market is not significant for now, and the short - term trend is a correction [24]. - **Agricultural Products**: - **Protein Meal**: The soybean and rapeseed meal prices rose slightly at night. Although the US soybean export is affected by trade tariffs, the reduction of planting area and potential decline in yield support the price. The domestic market is expected to be in a narrow - range fluctuation, and attention should be paid to the USDA report [25][26]. - **Edible Oils**: The edible oil prices were strong at night. The palm oil price may be under pressure due to the lower - than - expected export in August. The soybean oil price is affected by the US biodiesel policy and the upcoming USDA report. Attention should be paid to China - Canada trade relations and US biodiesel policies [27]. - **Sugar**: The international sugar market is in the inventory accumulation stage with increased Brazilian sugar supply, while the domestic sugar market is supported by high sales - to - production ratio and low inventory. However, the pressure from imported processed sugar and the upcoming new sugar - pressing season may drag down the price. The Zhengzhou sugar futures are expected to follow the weak trend of international sugar [28]. - **Cotton**: The ICE US cotton price rose slightly. The domestic cotton market is shifting the focus to the new cotton purchase, but the downstream demand is weak. The short - term trend of Zhengzhou cotton is expected to be weak [29]. - **Shipping Index**: - **Container Shipping to Europe**: The EC container shipping index to Europe showed a weak performance, falling by 5.28%. With the approaching of the National Day Golden Week, shipping companies are intensifying price competition, and the market is following the downward trend of spot freight rates. Attention should be paid to the shipping companies' price - adjustment rhythm [30].

However, factors like the rebound of US inflation data and the easing of geopolitical risks restricted the upward space of gold. In the long - term, the continuous increase of gold reserves by the People's Bank of China provided support for gold [2]. - **Stock Index Futures**: The stock index rose in the previous trading session, with the communication sector leading the gain and the non - bank financial sector leading the decline. The trading volume was 2.78 trillion yuan. In 2025, domestic liquidity is expected to remain loose, and more incremental policies may be introduced in the second half of the year. The probability of a Fed interest rate cut in September increases the attractiveness of RMB assets. The market is in a resonance period of "policy bottom + capital bottom + valuation bottom", but sector rotation is accelerating [3]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The short - term trend is affected by sentiment and has high volatility. The supply is increasing, and the demand for lithium in cathode materials is also rising. The inventory situation is complex, with upstream de - stocking and downstream restocking. There is a risk of correction after the previous rapid increase, but if the inventory starts to decline, the lithium price may rise [4]. 3. Summary by Directory a.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The macro - atmosphere has improved. Fed Chairman Powell signaled dovishness at the Jackson Hole Symposium, boosting the expectation of a September interest rate cut and commodity prices. The upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit and approaching military parade also contribute to an optimistic market atmosphere. - For steel products, the weekly production of rebar decreased while demand increased, and the inventory accumulation slowed down. The production and demand of hot - rolled coils both increased, and the inventory continued to rise slightly. The overall off - season inventory accumulation is within expectations, and as the off - season turns to the peak season, the terminal demand is expected to pick up, and the supply - demand structure of finished products is expected to improve. With the strong raw material end, the cost support has shifted upwards. It is expected that steel prices will have a phased upward trend after the previous correction and should be treated with a bullish bias. - For iron ore, the supply from Australia and Brazil has increased slightly, and the arrival volume has slightly declined. The supply pressure is not significant. Pig iron production remains at a high level. The supply - demand contradiction of iron ore is not prominent. Considering the relatively warm macro - atmosphere and the expectation of improved terminal demand, iron ore prices are expected to remain firm in the short term and fluctuate with a bullish bias on a weekly basis. - For coking coal and coke, the coal mine production has slightly increased, and the inventory pressure is not obvious. The seventh round of coke price increases has been implemented, and the profit of coke enterprises has recovered, with a slight increase in production. With the current warm macro - atmosphere and the expectation of improved terminal demand, coking coal and coke prices are expected to remain firm and fluctuate with a bullish bias on a weekly basis.
