1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views - **Glass and Soda Ash**: The glass and soda ash market continues to be weak. For soda ash, the supply is high after the traditional summer inspection season, and the demand remains at a rigid level. It is recommended to short at high levels. For glass, the industry needs capacity clearance to solve the over - supply problem. Short - term observation is advised, and mid - term attention should be paid to the actual demand in the peak season [1]. - **Log**: The log fundamentals are good, with low inventory, continuous destocking, and strong demand. As the seasonal peak season is approaching, the price has strong support at the bottom. It is recommended to go long at low levels [2]. - **Polysilicon**: In the short term, the market is more focused on the expectation of policy implementation in September, and the price is easy to rise and hard to fall. The supply reduction in September is not obvious, and there may be a slight inventory build - up.

The supply - demand relationship was in a tight balance in August. It is recommended to go long at low levels, with the price fluctuating between 8000 - 9500 yuan/ton [4]. - **Natural Rubber**: The supply is affected by seasonal climate, with strong upward pressure on raw material prices and inventory destocking. The demand is expected to improve as enterprises resume production, but the increase in production may be limited. The price of the 01 contract is expected to be in the range of 15000 - 16500 yuan/ton [5]. 3.
