Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided in the content. Core Views of the Report - The medium - term trend of crude oil prices remains bearish, but short - term geopolitical factors may cause temporary supply disruptions. For precious metals, after the decline of the interest - rate cut trading, they may enter a phase of consolidation. For various metals and non - metals, their price trends are affected by factors such as supply and demand, inventory changes, and policy expectations. Financial products like stocks and bonds also show different trends under the influence of the Fed's interest - rate cut and other factors [2][3][47][48] Summary by Related Catalogs Energy - **Crude Oil**: International oil prices fell overnight. US crude oil inventories decreased more than expected last week due to increased exports, while the increase in middle - distillate product inventories raised demand concerns. The Fed's 25bp interest - rate cut did not bring unexpected positive effects. The medium - term bearish trend remains unchanged, and short - term geopolitical factors may cause supply disruptions, but the rebound space is limited. A strategy combination of high - level short positions and call options is recommended [2] - **Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: After frequent attacks on Russian refineries, the weekly loading volume of Russian fuel oil has been declining. The increasing start - up rate of Shandong refineries is beneficial to the feed demand for fuel oil. The third - batch export quota of low - sulfur fuel oil is 700,000 tons, lower than last year's 1 million tons, but the supply pressure is limited due to the low quota utilization rate. It is recommended to consider a strategy of buying the spread between high - and low - sulfur fuel oils at low levels [21] - **Asphalt**: The asphalt futures continued to fluctuate within a range. Factory and social inventories continued to decline, but the decline slowed down compared to the beginning of the week. The downward pressure on spot prices in East China has eased, and the prices in South China and Hebei remained stable. There is still support at the bottom of the futures price [22] Metals - **Precious Metals**: The number of initial jobless claims in the US was lower than expected, and precious metals fluctuated weakly. The Fed's risk - management interest - rate cut was not dovish enough, and after the decline of the interest - rate cut trading, precious metals may enter a phase of consolidation [3] - **Base Metals** - **Copper**: Copper prices fluctuated overnight, and long - position sentiment cooled after the Fed's interest - rate cut. Domestic social inventories decreased, and copper prices may fall back to the previous support range of 79,000 - 79,500 yuan. It is advisable to wait and see [4] - **Aluminum**: Shanghai aluminum fluctuated narrowly overnight. Downstream start - up continued to increase seasonally, and the inventory of aluminum ingots is likely to be at a low level this year. However, the social inventory of aluminum ingots has not shown a turning point yet. The current industrial driving force is not strong, and there is resistance at the March high [5] - **Zinc**: After the Fed's 25 - basis - point interest - rate cut, zinc returned to fundamental trading. Under the pressure of inventory accumulation, Shanghai zinc increased positions and declined, testing the 22,000 - yuan integer level again. The supply of zinc mines is increasing globally, and the general direction of short - selling on rallies remains unchanged. Focus on the changes in LME zinc inventories [8] - **Lead**: The supply of aluminum ingots was tight in the short term, and the fundamentals improved. However, after the rebound of lead prices, the profit of recycled aluminum was restored, and the expectation of the resumption of production of recycled aluminum smelters was strengthened. Pay attention to the pressure at 17,300 yuan/ton for the rebound of lead [9] - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: Shanghai nickel declined after the interest - rate cut. The inventory of pure nickel increased, the inventory of nickel iron decreased, and the inventory of stainless steel decreased. Shanghai nickel returned to the downward trend [10] - **Tin**: Overnight, both domestic and foreign tin prices broke through the previous trend support. Pay attention to the performance of the MA60 moving average in the short term. The inventory risk overseas has decreased. The adjustment of tin prices is conducive to inventory reduction. Wait and see [11] - **Lithium Carbonate**: Lithium prices fluctuated weakly, and market trading was dull. The total market inventory decreased, and the inventory of smelters decreased, while the downstream inventory increased. The futures price of lithium carbonate showed support at a low level, and the overall trend was weak after the interest - rate cut [12] - **Industrial Silicon**: The futures price of industrial silicon rose and then fell, closing below 9,000 yuan/ton. The improvement of the fundamentals is limited, and more positive factors are needed to break through the 9,000 - yuan/ton mark [12] - **Polysilicon**: The futures of polysilicon fluctuated and closed at 53,200 yuan/ton. The industry's production schedule in September decreased slightly compared with last month, and the inventory continued to rise. The futures price is expected to maintain a fluctuating trend, waiting for further policy guidance [13] Chemicals - **Urea**: The urea futures continued to weaken, and market confidence was insufficient. The daily output continued to rise, and production enterprises continued to accumulate inventory. Industrial demand improved, and there was a phased replenishment expectation in the agricultural downstream. The domestic urea market remained in a state of loose supply and demand, and the market fluctuated at a low level [23] - **Methanol**: The main contract of methanol continued to fall. The import volume decreased temporarily, and the port inventory accumulation slowed down. The short - term supply - demand gap is expected to narrow, but the high - inventory pressure persists, and the boost to the market is limited. Pay attention to the actual implementation of overseas gas restrictions in the long term [24] - **Pure Benzene**: The price of pure benzene returned to the 6,000 - yuan/ton level and fluctuated at a low level overnight. The weekly output increased slightly. The supply - demand situation in the domestic pure benzene market may improve in the third quarter, but the high - import volume expectation suppresses market sentiment [25] - **Styrene**: The Fed's interest - rate cut had limited impact on the market. There was an unexpected reduction in supply recently, but the demand entered a dull period. It is expected that northern enterprises may have low - price promotions before the National Day, which will suppress prices [26] - **Polypropylene, Plastic, and Propylene**: The demand for propylene improved, and the price was supported. The supply of polyethylene increased in demand due to the rise in downstream factory start - up rates, and the supply decreased due to more domestic maintenance enterprises. The improvement of the polypropylene supply - demand fundamentals is limited [27] - **PVC and Caustic Soda**: PVC was in a weak operation with a loose supply - demand pattern and high inventory pressure. The performance of caustic soda varied by region. The futures price of caustic soda may fluctuate [28] - **PX and PTA**: PX and PTA followed the decline in oil prices and external sentiment. The demand for PTA continued to improve, but the inventory of polyester yarn was moderately high and the profit was poor. The valuation of PX/PTA may be dragged down by weak macro - demand [29] - **Ethylene Glycol**: Affected by new - device expectations and weak external sentiment, ethylene glycol returned to the bottom of the range. The domestic production decreased slightly, and the expected port arrival volume increased slightly. Pay attention to the commissioning of new devices [30] Agricultural Products - **Soybeans and Soybean Meal**: After the Fed's interest - rate cut, the soybean meal futures continued to decline. The supply of soybeans is sufficient in the fourth quarter. The short - term market may continue to fluctuate, and there is a long - term cautious bullish view on soybean meal [35] - **Soybean Oil and Palm Oil**: The price of US soybean oil declined. The long - term trend of soybean and palm oil is supported by overseas biodiesel policies, and it is advisable to consider buying on dips [36] - **Rapeseed and Rapeseed Oil**: Canadian rapeseed prices continued to fall. The supply bottleneck of domestic rapeseed products still supports prices, but the change in import expectations will put pressure on prices. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [37] - **Soybean No. 1**: Domestic soybeans stopped falling and entered a sideways shock. The expected opening price of new - crop soybeans is low. Pay attention to the confirmation of the positive expectation of trade relations and the policy guidance of new - crop soybeans [38] - **Corn**: Dalian corn futures opened high and closed low overnight. Spot prices in different regions showed differentiation. Pay attention to the operation of Dalian corn before and after the new - grain opening price and the possible policy guidance [39] - **Hogs**: The spot price of hogs continued to fall and hit a new low this year. The supply pressure is large, and the bearish thinking should be maintained after the futures price breaks through the key resistance level [40] - **Eggs**: The egg futures reduced positions significantly, with the near - term contract being weaker than the far - term contract. The spot price began to correct. It is advisable to consider laying out long positions in the far - term contracts for next year's first half, and pay attention to the exit of short - position funds in the near - term contracts [41] - **Cotton**: US cotton prices fell. The weekly signing data of US cotton was good. The domestic cotton spot sales were poor. The Xinjiang cotton production is likely to be a bumper harvest. The short - term trend of Zhengzhou cotton is still oscillating [42] - **Sugar**: US sugar fluctuated overnight. The domestic sugar sales were fast, and the inventory pressure was light. The uncertainty of Guangxi's sugar production in the 25/26 crushing season increased. The sugar price is expected to fluctuate [43] - **Apples**: The futures price of apples fluctuated. The demand for early - maturing apples was good, but the supply - side lacked positive drivers. It is expected that the futures price will continue to decline in the short term [44] - **Timber**: The futures price of timber fluctuated. The domestic supply may remain low, and the demand during the off - season was good with smooth inventory reduction. The short - term upward momentum is insufficient [45] - **Pulp**: The pulp futures fell slightly. The port inventory in China increased, and the supply was relatively loose. The demand was average. It is advisable to wait and see or trade within the range [46] Financial Products - **Stock Index**: The stock market fell yesterday, and the stock - index futures contracts all closed down. A shares may change from a smooth upward trend to an oscillating upward trend in the short term. It is advisable to allocate more to the technology - growth sector in the medium term and consider allocating to the cyclical and consumer sectors on dips [47] - **Treasury Bonds**: Treasury bond futures oscillated. After the Fed's interest - rate cut, the market is waiting for the next interest - rate cut opportunity. The probability of a steeper yield curve increases [48] Shipping - **Container Shipping Index (European Line)**: The frequent price cuts of shipping companies reflect the high pressure of cargo collection at the end of the month. The freight rate center is expected to move down further, and the October contract may fall below 1100 points. The spot weakness will suppress the sentiment of far - month contracts [20]
