Report Information - Report Title: Black Series Weekly Report [2] - Report Date: October 31, 2025 [2] - Analyst: Shi Lei [2] - Research Assistant: Shi Zhuoran [2] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Views - **Mid - to - Long - Term**: For steel and iron ore, the "Golden September and Silver October" period is over, macro - level positive impacts are weakening, and the market is returning to fundamental influences. With increasing environmental restrictions and approaching winter storage, there is an expectation of a mild rebound in steel and iron ore futures, but trading should be based on an oscillatory mindset. For glass and soda ash, glass inventory has stopped increasing and started to decline, with stable supply and weak downstream demand, maintaining a weak pattern. Soda ash has a slight reduction in inventory, weak downstream demand, and a supply - surplus situation, with the main contract continuing a weak oscillatory trend [62][66] - **Short - Term**: For black series products, influenced by the "14th Five - Year Plan" on new infrastructure and stable real estate policies and the easing of Sino - US trade relations, the overall market showed an oscillatory upward trend this week, but cooled on Friday. Steel, hot - rolled coils, and iron ore are expected to oscillate, with risks of repeated fluctuations. Glass and soda ash followed the sector up and then down, with prices under pressure, and short - term trading should be based on fundamental logic [63][67] Summary by Directory Black Series Weekly Market Review | Variety | Futures Closing Price (10/24/2025) | Futures Closing Price (10/31/2025) | Change | Percentage Change | Spot Price | Basis (Unconverted) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rebar (RB2601) | 3046.0 | 3106.0 | 60.0 | 2.0% | 3230.0 | 124.0 | | Hot - rolled Coil (HC2601) | 3250.0 | 3308.0 | 58.0 | 1.8% | 3330.0 | 22.0 | | Iron Ore (I2601) | 771.0 | 800.0 | 29.0 | 3.8% | 814.0 | 14.0 | | Coke (J2601) | 1757.5 | 1777.0 | 19.5 | 1.1% | 1670.0 | - 107.0 | | Coking Coal (JM2601) | 1248.5 | 1286.0 | 37.5 | 3.0% | 1450.0 | 164.0 | | Glass (FG601) | 1092.0 | 1083.0 | - 9.0 | - 0.8% | 1210.0 | 127.0 | | Soda Ash (SA601) | 1229.0 | 1225.0 | - 4.0 | - 0.3% | 1270.6 | 45.6 | [3] Rebar - **Blast Furnace Profit**: On October 30, the rebar blast furnace profit was - 58 yuan/ton [7] - **Supply Side**: As of October 31, the blast furnace operating rate was 81.75%, a decrease of 2.96 percentage points; the daily average pig iron output was 2.3636 million tons, a decrease of 35,400 tons; the rebar output was 2.1259 million tons, an increase of 55,200 tons [12] - **Demand Side**: In the week of October 31, the apparent consumption of rebar was 2.3218 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 61,700 tons; as of October 30, the trading volume of construction steel by mainstream traders was 90,196 tons [16] - **Inventory**: In the week of October 31, the social inventory of rebar was 4.3081 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 66,800 tons; the in - plant inventory was 1.7171 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 129,200 tons [21] Iron Ore - **Supply Side**: In the week of October 24, the global iron ore shipment volume was 3.3884 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 54,900 tons; the arrival volume at 47 ports in China was 2.0843 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 592,000 tons [26] - **Inventory**: In the week of October 31, the inventory of imported iron ore at 47 ports in China was 15.27293 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 163,440 tons; the inventory of imported iron ore at 247 steel enterprises was 8.84986 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 229,330 tons [31] - **Demand Side**: In the week of October 31, the average daily discharge volume of imported iron ore at 47 ports in China was 331,220 tons, a week - on - week increase of 91,500 tons; as of October 30, the trading volume at major Chinese ports was 74,000 tons [36] Float Glass - **Supply Side**: In the week of October 31, the number of operating float glass production lines was 226; the weekly output was 1,128,925 tons, unchanged from the previous week; as of October 30, the capacity utilization rate was 80.63%, unchanged; the operating rate was 76.35%, unchanged [41] - **Inventory**: In the week of October 31, the in - plant inventory of float glass was 65.79 million weight boxes, a decrease of 823,000 weight boxes compared to October 24; the available days of in - plant inventory were 28 days, a week - on - week decrease of 0.3 days [46] Soda Ash - **Supply Side**: In the week of October 31, the capacity utilization rate of soda ash was 86.89%, an increase of 1.95 percentage points from the previous week; the output was 757,600 tons, an increase of 17,000 tons from the previous week [50] - **Inventory**: As of October 31, the in - plant inventory of soda ash was 1.702 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 10 tons [55] - **Production and Sales Rate**: As of October 31, the production and sales rate of soda ash was 100.01%, a week - on - week increase of 0.23 percentage points [59]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market's sensitivity to the policy - led "anti - involution" in the glass and soda ash industries has declined marginally, and the market is observing the implementation strength. There is intensified competition between the bulls and bears regarding the weak reality and strong expectations. The prices of glass and soda ash are expected to first fall and then rise in November, with a slight downward shift in the price range [2][5]. - In the medium - to - long - term, under the background of global liquidity easing and clear anti - involution policies, the structural market will continue. However, it is necessary to be vigilant about the accumulation of industrial contradiction risks due to the lack of improvement in the fundamentals [13]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Soda Ash Fundamental Analysis 3.1.1 Market Review - In October, the futures price of the main soda ash contract first fell and then rose. The overseas situation and domestic macro - data affected the market sentiment. The price range moved down. In terms of spreads, the SA2601 - 05 spread showed a positive arbitrage trend, and the FG01 - SA01 spread showed a downward trend. The spot prices of soda ash manufacturers were generally stable, with some regional price adjustments [8]. 3.1.2 "Anti - involution" Policy Impact - The market's sensitivity to the "anti - involution" policy has declined, and it is observing the implementation strength. Overseas, the risk appetite has decreased significantly after the Sino - US talks. The competition between the bulls and bears on the weak reality and strong expectations has intensified [12]. 3.1.3 Production and Inventory - In October, the monthly soda ash production was about 3.342 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 4.1%. From January to October, the national soda ash production was about 31.592 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 670,000 tons, or 2.2%. After the holiday in October, the inventory pressure increased, and the inventory of manufacturers increased by about 1.02 million tons to 1.702 million tons [2][19]. 3.1.4 Demand - The daily melting volume of float glass was stable at 161,000 tons. The daily melting volume of photovoltaic glass decreased by 100 tons to 88,680 tons. The overall demand for photovoltaic glass was weak, and the new orders were limited. The demand for light soda ash showed a natural growth trend, with an average monthly apparent demand of about 1.75 million tons from January to October, a year - on - year increase of 1% [2][26][31]. 3.1.5 Export and Import - Since the fourth quarter of 2024, the soda ash export has increased, and it is expected to maintain a monthly average of over 160,000 tons in 2025. In September 2025, the export volume was 188,000 tons. The import volume was almost zero [37]. 3.1.6 Raw Material Prices and Costs - The price of动力煤 increased, the ammonium chloride market was stable at a low level, and the coke market price was strong. The theoretical profit of the soda ash joint - alkali method (double - ton) was - 165 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 4 yuan/ton [41][43]. 3.2 Glass Fundamental Analysis 3.2.1 Market Review - In October, the futures price of the main glass contract FG2601 first fell and then rose, leading the decline in the commodity market. The price fluctuation range widened, and the operating range moved down significantly. The spot prices of glass manufacturers decreased after the holiday [50]. 3.2.2 Supply - As of the end of the month, the daily melting volume of float glass was 161,000 tons, unchanged from the beginning of the month. One production line was restarted and ignited in October, and there was no cold - repair of production lines. The supply of glass was basically stable, and the future coal - to - gas conversion in the glass factories in Shahe was still uncertain [52]. 3.2.3 Demand - In October, the glass market was weak in the peak season. The consumption of float glass decreased, and the supply - demand gap turned positive. The downstream processing enterprises' orders were not as good as those in September, and the payment collection was poor. The high inventory in the industry was difficult to digest, which would still suppress the price [61]. 3.2.4 Real Estate Situation - In 2025, the real estate completion was still under pressure. The new construction scale continued to decline, and the completion scale also showed a downward trend, although the cumulative year - on - year decline narrowed [65]. 3.2.5 Cost and Profit - The cost of float glass decreased. The price of petroleum coke increased, and the price of soda ash first fell and then rose. The weekly average profits of float glass with different fuels all decreased [68][69].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "Oscillation" [6] Core Viewpoints - The Fed's interest rate cut and the easing of Sino - US trade frictions continue to boost market sentiment, but the differentiation of fundamentals leads to different price performances of sector varieties. The supply - demand of coal and coke remains balanced with high - level price oscillation, while high inventories of steel and continuous inventory accumulation of iron ore lead to price declines [1][2]. - The marginal weakening of the supply - demand pattern is the main feature of the later fundamental situation, which still poses upward resistance to the prices of some sector varieties. At the same time, there is still a possibility of positive news from the macro and policy levels. It is recommended to seize the upward opportunities under favorable macro and policy conditions [6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Iron Element - Iron ore: The weekly molten iron output has decreased as expected. The weakening of steel mill profitability and the start of the off - season will limit the recovery space of molten iron after the end of environmental protection restrictions. Iron ore arrivals are expected to recover, and inventory is expected to increase marginally. The fundamentals are marginally weakening, but overall contradictions are not prominent. Macro expectations and market sentiment dominate, and short - term prices are expected to oscillate [2]. - Scrap steel: The supply and demand of scrap steel both decline, and the fundamental contradictions are not prominent. Recently, the finished product data has slightly improved, and the downward driving force of scrap steel is limited. It is expected that the short - term scrap steel price will mainly follow the finished products [2][10]. Carbon Element - Coke: Under environmental protection restrictions, the demand for coke is temporarily tightened, but the overall supply - demand contradiction is not large. With the continuous increase in raw coal prices, coke has started three rounds of price increases. However, although the finished product prices have slightly recovered recently, steel mill profits are still under pressure, and the game between steel and coke continues. It is expected that the coke price will oscillate [2][12]. - Coking coal: The supply of coking coal is difficult to improve. With continuous procurement from the middle and lower reaches, the coal mine inventory has dropped to a recent low. The short - term fundamentals are healthy. It is expected that the short - term coking coal price will oscillate, waiting for further macro and policy boosts [2][13]. Alloys - Manganese silicon: The short - term cost is stable, and the high output of steel supports the price. However, the market supply - demand expectation is pessimistic, and the driving force for the price increase of manganese silicon is insufficient [3]. - Ferrosilicon: The high output of finished products and the firm cost support the ferrosilicon price in the short term. However, the market supply - demand relationship is relatively loose, and the upward price space is limited [3]. Glass and Soda Ash - Glass: Some manufacturers are trying to support the price by raising the spot price. Attention should be paid to whether the price increase is implemented and the sales situation after implementation. If the sales remain weak, the price will return to a weak oscillation. In the medium and long term, market - oriented capacity reduction is still needed, and the price may continue to oscillate downward [3][14]. - Soda ash: The supply - surplus pattern remains unchanged. It is expected that the price will follow the macro fluctuations and oscillate widely in the future. In the long term, the price center of gravity will still move down to promote capacity reduction [3][16]. Specific Varieties - Steel: The macro sentiment is volatile, and the futures price is under pressure to decline. The spot market trading is generally weak, and the market sentiment has deteriorated. The fundamentals are improving, but the inventory level is still higher than the same period last year. It is expected that the short - term futures price will be under pressure, and attention should be paid to macro policy disturbances [8]. - Iron ore: The molten iron output has decreased significantly, and the inventory has increased month - on - month. The spot price has weakened. The fundamentals are marginally weakening, but overall contradictions are not large. Macro expectations and market sentiment dominate, and short - term prices are expected to oscillate [8][9]. - Scrap steel: The arrival volume has decreased slightly, and the price is oscillating. The supply and demand of scrap steel both decline, and the fundamentals have no prominent contradictions. It is expected that the short - term price will follow the finished products [10]. - Coke: The supply has slightly increased, and the demand is temporarily tightened. The overall supply - demand contradiction is not large, and the price is expected to oscillate [11][12]. - Coking coal: The supply is difficult to increase, and coal mines continue to reduce inventory. The short - term fundamentals are healthy, and the price is expected to oscillate [13]. - Glass: Manufacturers are trying to support the price by raising the spot price. Attention should be paid to the implementation of the price increase and the sales situation. If the sales are weak, the price will return to a weak oscillation. In the long term, the price is expected to oscillate downward [14]. - Soda ash: After the supply recovery, manufacturers have returned to the inventory accumulation state. The supply - surplus pattern remains unchanged. It is expected that the price will follow the macro fluctuations and oscillate widely, and the long - term price center of gravity will move down [16]. - Manganese silicon: The driving force for price increase is insufficient, and the futures price is oscillating. The short - term cost is stable, and the high steel output supports the price, but the market supply - demand expectation is pessimistic [17]. - Ferrosilicon: The supply - demand relationship is still loose, and there is pressure above the futures price. The high output of finished products and the firm cost support the price in the short term, but the supply - demand relationship is relatively loose [18]. Related Indexes - On October 30, 2025, the comprehensive index of CITICS Futures commodities decreased by 0.57% to 2250.38, the commodity 20 index decreased by 0.52% to 2544.78, and the industrial products index decreased by 0.87% to 2246.75 [99]. - The steel industry chain index on October 30, 2025, had a daily decline of 0.68%, a 5 - day increase of 2.52%, a 1 - month decline of 0.05%, and a year - to - date decline of 2.96% [101].

The iron ore market has an oversupply situation, and the coal and coke market is affected by policies and supply concerns. The steel market's price stop depends on production cuts and anti-"involution" policies. The glass market has inventory pressure and weak demand. The financial market has different trends for various indexes, and the precious metal market is affected by multiple factors such as central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. The light industry and agricultural product markets have their own supply and demand characteristics, and the soft commodity and polyester markets also face different situations [2][4][6][8][10] Summary by Related Catalogs Black Industry - Iron ore: The main line is "loose supply, low demand, and port inventory accumulation." The supply has room for impulse, and the demand is weak due to the low level of real estate new construction. Follow-up attention should be paid to four main lines that may trigger price revaluation [2] - Coking coal and coke: Driven by multiple news, the price has risen. The market is concerned about demand-side policies, and the core contradiction lies in the low profit level of steel mills [2] - Rolled steel: The price is affected by the demand for steel, and the stop of the decline depends on production cuts and policy implementation [2] - Glass: There are contradictions in the market, with weak demand and increasing inventory pressure. The solution depends on reducing the daily melting volume and the support of policies [2] Financial Market - Stock index futures/options: Different indexes have different trends, and the market is short-term consolidated with increasing bullish sentiment [4] - Treasury bonds: The yield of 10-year Treasury bonds has declined, and the market has a slight upward trend.

Report Summary 1. Investment Ratings - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating weakly [2] - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4] 2. Core Views - The macro - expected situation has been realized, and the market is under short - term pressure. The supply - demand contradictions in glass, soda ash, and double - silicon sectors continue to affect the prices of related products [1][3] 3. Market Analysis and Strategy by Product Glass - **Market Analysis**: The glass futures market dropped significantly yesterday. Downstream procurement is cautious, mainly for刚需. The开工 rate of float glass enterprises this week was 80.63%, unchanged from last week, and the factory inventory was 65.79 million heavy boxes, a 1.24% decrease from last week, showing obvious inventory reduction. However, the supply - demand contradiction is still large, the inventory pressure is still at a historically high level, and the futures - cash merchants are squeezing the market share of glass factories. With the end of the consumption peak season and the potential for some production lines to resume production, the glass price is expected to remain under pressure [1] - **Strategy**: Oscillating weakly [2] Soda Ash - **Market Analysis**: The soda ash futures market showed a weak oscillating trend yesterday. Downstream procurement is mainly for刚需 replenishment. This week, the soda ash production was 757,600 tons, a 2.29% increase from last week, and the inventory was 1.702 million tons, a 0.01% decrease from last week. The supply - demand contradiction remains, with the supply expected to increase further, the刚需 showing resilience, and the speculative demand weakening. The inventory reduction pressure will persist throughout the year [1] - **Strategy**: Oscillating weakly [2] Silicomanganese - **Market Analysis**: The main contract of silicomanganese futures first rose and then fell, closing at 5,842 yuan/ton yesterday. The spot market was stable, and the alloy cost support was fair. The price of 6517 in the northern market was 5,600 - 5,680 yuan/ton, and in the southern market was 5,650 - 5,700 yuan/ton. Although silicomanganese enterprises are facing increasing losses, the production remains high, and the inventory reduction pressure is large. Recently, coking coal has driven the upward movement of the black sector, strengthening the bottom support of silicomanganese. It is expected that the silicomanganese price will continue to fluctuate with the sector [3] - **Strategy**: Oscillating [4] Ferrosilicon - **Market Analysis**: The main contract of ferrosilicon futures tried to rise in the morning but faced pressure and then declined in the afternoon under the influence of the black sector. The spot market sentiment was flat, and most operations were cautious. The cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon in the main production areas was 5,150 - 5,200 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was 5,700 - 5,800 yuan/ton. Currently, ferrosilicon enterprises have high production and high inventory, and the demand is expected to weaken. Although enterprises are continuously losing money, it has not effectively curbed production, and the weak fundamental situation is difficult to reverse. It is expected that the short - term ferrosilicon price will follow the sector [3] - **Strategy**: Oscillating [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the entire industry is "Swing" [8][9][10][11][14][16][17][18][19] Core Viewpoints of the Report - Although the industry has marginal weakening, the contradictions are limited. Recently, the macro has continuously released positive news, strengthening the lower support for the prices of sector varieties, which is consistent with the previous judgment of weakened industrial chain logic and strengthened macro - expectations. As long as the hot metal output does not decline more than expected, the macro level will continue to support the prices of sector varieties [8] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Overall Industry Situation - The daily consumption of sintered powder ore by steel enterprises decreased, indicating a short - term downward expectation of hot metal. But the strengthening of the macro - atmosphere continued to push up the prices of sector varieties. The macro - positives included the release of the "Urban Business Quality Improvement Action Plan" and the upcoming meeting between Chinese and US leaders [2] 2. Different Element and Product Analyses Iron Element - For iron ore, the fundamentals have marginal weakening, but the overall contradictions are not prominent. The macro - expectation dominates in the short - term, and the price is expected to oscillate with support. For scrap steel, the fundamentals have no obvious contradictions, and the price is expected to follow the finished products due to warming macro - sentiment and slightly improved finished product data [3] Carbon Element - For coke, environmental protection restrictions have limited impact, and the short - term fundamentals have few contradictions. With rising costs, coke has started a third round of price increases, but steel mills' profits are under pressure, so the price is expected to oscillate. For coking coal, supply is hard to improve, and the short - term fundamentals are healthy due to low upstream inventory. The third - round price increase boosts the market, and the price is expected to oscillate with an upward trend [3] Alloys - For manganese silicon, short - term cost stability and high steel output support the price, but the supply - demand expectation is pessimistic, and the upward driving force is insufficient. For ferrosilicon, high finished product output and stable costs support the price, but the supply - demand relationship is loose, and the upward space is limited [3] Glass and Soda Ash - For glass, the recent strengthening of the futures price has driven a positive futures - spot feedback, but the replenishment space is limited, and the rebound space is expected to be limited. In the long - term, capacity reduction through marketization is needed, and the price may continue to oscillate downward. For soda ash, the oversupply pattern remains unchanged, and it is expected to fluctuate widely following the macro, with the long - term price center moving down to promote capacity reduction [3][8] 3. Individual Product Analyses Steel - Spot market transactions are average, but speculative sentiment has improved. Steel production shows a downward sign, while demand continues to recover, and inventory is decreasing. Short - term the futures price has a rebound drive, but the upward space is limited due to high inventory [9] Iron Ore - Port transactions increased, and the spot price was strong. Fundamentally, overseas mine shipments increased slightly, and the arrival volume has a rebound expectation. Demand - side iron water output declined marginally, and inventory is expected to accumulate slightly. The price is expected to oscillate in the short - term with macro - expectations dominant [9][10] Scrap Steel - Supply has decreased slightly, and electric furnace profits have increased. The fundamentals have few contradictions, and the price is expected to follow the finished products [11] Coke - The futures price oscillated strongly. Supply is hard to increase due to cost and environmental factors. Demand may decline slightly, and inventory is low. The price is expected to oscillate with continued game between steel and coke enterprises [12] Coking Coal - The futures price oscillated strongly. Supply is hard to improve due to production disturbances in mines. Import resources are tight, and inventory is low. The price is expected to oscillate with an upward trend [13] Glass - The price oscillated. Supply may be affected by gas - related changes, but short - term output decline is limited. Demand is weakening, and the replenishment ability is limited. The price rebound space is limited, and it may oscillate downward in the long - term [14] Soda Ash - The price is expected to oscillate at a low level. Supply is stable, and demand is okay. The industry is at the bottom of the cycle, and the price has strong bottom support but lacks upward driving force in the short - term. In the long - term, the price center will move down [16] Manganese Silicon - The futures price oscillated strongly following the upward trend of the black sector. Cost increases are limited, and demand support is weakening due to expected steel production decline. Supply is at a high level, and the price increase driving force is insufficient [17] Ferrosilicon - The futures price rebounded after a decline. Cost has increased, and supply pressure is accumulating. Demand may decline due to expected steel production decline. The price has support but limited upward space [18] 4. Index Information Comprehensive Index - The commodity index was 2263.37, up 0.93%; the commodity 20 index was 2558.20, up 1.02%; the industrial product index was 2266.37, up 1.23% [98] Section Index - The steel industry chain index was 2059.83 on October 29, 2025, with a daily increase of 1.85%, a 5 - day increase of 2.55%, a 1 - month increase of 1.03%, and a year - to - date decrease of 2.30% [100]

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the given reports. 2. Core Viewpoints - For the steel industry, in the long - term, steel prices' upward logic remains unchanged under the increasingly loose macro - environment. However, in the short - term, the actual demand for steel is still weak and unlikely to improve substantially. Attention should be paid to the impact of Sino - US talks and overseas macro - environment changes on market sentiment [2]. - For the iron ore market, the price is expected to fluctuate. Although the supply is increasing and the demand is weakening with the decline of iron - making water production, the positive signals from Sino - US economic and trade consultations and the expected interest - rate cut by the Federal Reserve have an impact on the market [5]. - For the black metal sector, the outlook is not pessimistic. It is considered more cost - effective to look for rebound opportunities after price corrections rather than short - selling. The downward momentum of the black metal sector has significantly weakened after nearly four years of decline [10]. - For industrial silicon, the supply pressure persists, and the demand support is weakening. The price is expected to fluctuate with market sentiment in the short - term, and the cost provides some support [14]. - For polysilicon, the supply pressure may be marginally relieved, and the supply - demand pattern may improve. The price is affected by policy expectations and industry news, and attention should be paid to the actual implementation [16]. - For glass, the futures price rebounded due to short - position exits, and the market's bearish sentiment eased. Attention should be paid to macro - policy trends and the operation of production lines in the Shahe area [19]. - For soda ash, the price is expected to continue narrow - range fluctuations in the short - term due to the combination of cost support and high inventory [21]. 3. Summary by Category Steel - **Market Quotes** - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3133 yuan/ton, up 42 yuan/ton (1.358%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts decreased by 1221 tons to 124,540 tons, and the main contract's open interest decreased by 36,350 lots to 1.894 million lots. The Tianjin and Shanghai aggregated prices increased by 30 yuan/ton and 20 yuan/ton respectively [1]. - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3345 yuan/ton, up 40 yuan/ton (1.210%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts increased by 3402 tons to 104,773 tons, and the main contract's open interest decreased by 12,738 lots to 1.461 million lots. The Lecong and Shanghai aggregated prices increased by 30 yuan/ton and 20 yuan/ton respectively [1]. - **Strategic Views** - Macroscopically, real - estate investment will shift from "scale expansion" to "quality improvement", and the new construction area is unlikely to increase significantly. Fundamentally, rebar's supply and demand both increased, and inventory continued to decline; the output of hot - rolled coils decreased slightly, demand improved marginally, and inventory reduction accelerated [2]. Iron Ore - **Market Quotes** - The main contract of iron ore (I2601) closed at 804.50 yuan/ton, up 1.51% (+12.00). The open interest decreased by 6094 lots to 542,900 lots, and the weighted open interest was 916,500 lots. The spot price of PB powder at Qingdao Port was 805 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 52.06 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 6.08% [4]. - **Strategic Views** - The supply of iron ore is increasing, with the overseas shipment volume at a high level. The demand is weakening as the daily average iron - making water production has dropped below 240,000 tons. The port inventory is increasing, and the price is under pressure. However, positive macro - signals may affect the market [5]. Ferrosilicon and Manganese Silicon - **Market Quotes** - On October 29, affected by the market atmosphere and other factors, the price of ferrosilicon and manganese silicon rebounded. The main contract of manganese silicon (SM601) closed up 1.07% at 5852 yuan/ton, and the Tianjin spot price was 5720 yuan/ton, with a basis of 58 yuan/ton. The main contract of ferrosilicon (SF601) closed up 0.54% at 5594 yuan/ton, and the Tianjin spot price was 5650 yuan/ton, with a basis of 56 yuan/ton [8]. - **Strategic Views** - The supply of ferrosilicon and manganese silicon may be restricted in the future. Currently, steel mills are facing difficulties due to high supply and low demand, and there is a risk of "negative feedback". The outlook for the black metal sector is not pessimistic, and it is more cost - effective to look for rebound opportunities. Manganese silicon and ferrosilicon are likely to follow the black metal sector's trend [9][10]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - **Market Quotes** - The main contract of industrial silicon (SI2601) closed at 9170 yuan/ton, up 2.40% (+215).

The average price of N - type granular silicon was 50.5 yuan/kg, and the average price of N - type dense material decreased by 0.5 yuan/kg to 51 yuan/kg [15]. - **Strategic Views** - For industrial silicon, the supply pressure persists, and the demand support is weakening. The price is expected to fluctuate with market sentiment in the short - term, and the cost provides some support [14]. - For polysilicon, the supply pressure may be marginally relieved, and the supply - demand pattern may improve. The price is affected by policy expectations and industry news, and attention should be paid to the actual implementation [16]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Market Quotes** - The glass main contract closed at 1113 yuan/ton on Wednesday, up 1.64% (+18). The inventory of float glass sample enterprises increased by 233.74 million cases (3.64%) to 66.613 million cases.
