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.

纯碱期货价格自7月底创出新高后，重回下跌趋势，至今已有3个月。其中，2601合约价格从最高1530元 ／吨，下跌至最低1194元／吨，跌幅22%。近期，纯碱期货价格跟随宏观情绪回暖略有反弹，这是否预 示行情将要触底呢？从供应端来看，随着新建产能陆续投放，纯碱产能持续增长，但需求端没有太大的 改善，甚至出口还有下滑的迹象。纯碱供应过剩局势加剧，未来价格预计易跌难涨。 供应过剩加剧 今年"金九银十"旺季成色不足，玻璃库存持续大幅累积，下游开工萎靡不振。据钢联数据，截至10月28 日，浮法玻璃日产量为161275吨，近一个月维持稳定；光伏玻璃日产量为88680吨，相比上周的89980吨 下降1300吨。浮法与光伏玻璃日产总量略有下降，重碱国内需求仍无起色。 从厂内库存细分数据来看，截至10月24日当周，重碱厂内库存为93.45万吨，基本维持稳定；但轻碱连 续3周累库，库存从69.67万吨增加至76.76万吨，创历史同期新高，表明轻碱下游需求也没有太大的改 善。重碱和轻碱库存均没有好转，出口也在下降，导致纯碱总库存继续累积。 碱厂减产动力不足 目前，碱厂虽然陷入亏损，但亏损幅度较小，远远未到促使碱厂主动减产的幅度，仍 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Steel prices are expected to rebound slightly. Although there is no substantial improvement in downstream consumption, there is an expectation of crude steel production cuts, and steel prices will fluctuate subsequently [3]. - The current iron ore market has a loose supply - demand balance, and prices are supported by macro - expectations. After the impact of macro events subsides, iron ore prices are expected to continue to be under pressure [23]. - Recently, due to downstream replenishment and reduced mine production in some areas, coking coal inventory has improved, and the spot market is tight. Coke prices may be strong in the short term, but potential negative feedback risks from the steel industry will limit the rebound height of coking coal and coke prices [35]. - Ferroalloys face a contradiction between high inventory and weak demand. There is a large de - stocking pressure, and the black negative feedback risk is increasing [52]. - Soda ash is mainly priced by cost. With high - level supply expectations and high inventories, the upside potential is limited, but there is cost support at the bottom [62]. - After the price cut of glass, sales have improved, but the high inventory of the middle - stream is being depleted slowly. If there is no real production cut, the price of the 01 contract may decline towards the delivery date, while there is cost support and policy expectations in the long - term [90]. 3.

However, the market has a pessimistic supply - demand expectation, and there is obvious upward pressure on the price [3] - **Silicon Iron**: High finished product output and strong cost support the price, but the supply - demand relationship is loose, and the upward price space is expected to be limited [3] 5. Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass**: As the meeting approaches, market expectations improve, and there is positive feedback space after the rebound of the disk price. However, considering the inventory levels of the middle and lower reaches, the restocking space is limited, and the rebound space is expected to be limited. In the long - term, market - oriented capacity reduction is needed, and the price may continue to oscillate downward [3][15] - **Soda Ash**: The oversupply situation remains unchanged. It is expected to fluctuate widely following the macro - environment, and the long - term price center will move down to promote capacity reduction [3] 6.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The long - term upward logic of steel prices remains unchanged under the background of a gradually loosening macro - environment, but the real demand for steel is still weak in the short term and is difficult to improve substantially. Attention should be paid to the impact of Sino - US talks and overseas macro - environment changes on market sentiment [2]. - The iron ore market is currently weak in reality, with the overall market in a tug - of - war situation, and the ore price will fluctuate [5]. - For the black sector, it is still not pessimistic. It is considered more cost - effective to look for callback positions to do rebounds rather than continue to short. The subsequent height after the rebound needs further observation [9]. - Industrial silicon is subject to real - world constraints and is likely to fluctuate with the commodity environment, with short - term consolidation [13]. - The supply - demand pattern of polysilicon may improve, but the short - term de - stocking amplitude is expected to be limited. Pay attention to the actual implementation of relevant news [15]. - The glass futures price is expected to maintain a wide - range volatile trend in the short term due to the interweaving of long and short factors [18]. - The soda ash price is expected to continue the narrow - range consolidation pattern in the short term, and attention should be paid to changes in device operation and downstream procurement rhythm [20]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Market Information - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3091 yuan/ton, down 9 yuan/ton (- 0.29%) from the previous trading day.
