Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core View The BPI and BSI freight rate indices continued to decline, and the BHSI also joined the decline. Although the BCI freight rate index rose, its increase narrowed, leading to a narrowing increase in the BDI composite freight rate index. The increase in the shipment of agricultural products and new shipments of resources such as iron ore and bauxite boosted the demand for capesize vessels, supporting the freight rates of capesize vessels. However, the decrease in the shipment of industrial products dragged down the demand for panamax and handy vessels, causing their prices to weaken [1]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the main coal and coking contracts hit the daily limit continuously, and the short - term price deviated from the fundamentals. The Dalian Commodity Exchange took position - limit measures for coking coal. The market sentiment cooled down significantly at the beginning of the week, but the overall upward trend remained unchanged. The "anti - involution" policy expectation supported commodity prices, and the pre - parade production restrictions provided a floor for the prices of the black series. In the short term, coal and coking prices were likely to rise rather than fall. It was necessary to be vigilant against the callback risk caused by the macro - policy falling short of expectations. In terms of operation, due to the intense capital game, it was recommended to wait and see for unilateral trading, and to focus on the reverse spread of coking coal 9 - 1 for arbitrage [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Forecast and Strategy - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range forecast for coking coal is 1030 - 1300, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 32.68% and a historical percentile of 63.87%. For coke, the price range is 1350 - 1800, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 25.37% and a historical percentile of 49.13% [3]. - **Risk Management Strategy**: For the arbitrage scenario of inter - month arbitrage with no spot exposure, it is recommended to short the spread between coking coal contracts 9 - 1 (jm2509&jm2601), with a selling direction and a suggested entry range of (-40, -30) [3]. 3.2 Black Warehouse Receipt Daily Report - **Inventory Changes**: On July 29, 2025, compared with July 28, 2025, the inventory of rebar increased by 594 tons to 85034 tons; the inventory of hot - rolled coils decreased by 590 tons to 57772 tons; the inventory of iron ore remained unchanged at 3400 hands; the inventory of coking coal decreased by 500 hands to 0 hands; the inventory of coke remained unchanged at 760 hands; the inventory of ferrosilicon decreased by 6 sheets to 22003 sheets; and the inventory of silicomanganese decreased by 454 sheets to 78736 sheets [3]. 3.3 Analysis of Core Contradictions - **Market Trend**: The short - term price of coal and coking deviated from the fundamentals, but the overall upward trend remained. The "anti - involution" policy expectation and pre - parade production restrictions supported the prices, making them likely to rise. However, there was a risk of callback due to macro - policy falling short of expectations. It was recommended to wait and see for unilateral trading and focus on the reverse spread of coking coal 9 - 1 for arbitrage [4]. 3.4 Interpretation of Bullish and Bearish Factors - **Bullish Factors**: The expectation of "anti - involution" in coal mines still exists, and the production increase space of mines in the second half of the year may be limited; downstream steel mills have good profits, providing a basis for raw material price increases; the Fourth Plenary Session in October [5]. - **Bearish Factors**: The import profit of overseas coal has recovered, and there will be pressure on subsequent arrivals; the customs clearance of Mongolian coal has resumed, with more than 1000 trucks per day currently; off - balance - sheet inventory of futures and spot has flowed into the market, putting pressure on spot prices [5]. 3.5 Coal and Coking Prices - **Warehouse Receipt Cost and Basis**: The document provides the warehouse receipt cost and basis data of coking coal (including different varieties such as Tangshan Mongolian 5) and coke (including different delivery methods and regions). For example, the warehouse receipt cost of Tangshan Mongolian 5 coking coal is 1008, and the main basis is - 109.5 [7]. - **Spot Price**: The document shows the spot prices of various coal and coking products on July 30, 2025, July 29, 2025, and July 23, 2025, as well as their daily and weekly changes. For example, the ex - factory price of Anze low - sulfur main coking coal is 1450 yuan/ton, with no daily change and a weekly increase of 70 yuan/ton [8]. - **Profit**: Data on import profits of various types of coal (such as Mongolian coal, Australian coal, and Russian coal), export profits of coke, and coking profits are provided. For example, the import profit of long - term contract Mongolian coal is 368 yuan/ton, with a daily decrease of 28 yuan/ton and a weekly increase of 162 yuan/ton [8].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - Trump's tariff threat is essentially a political gaming tool with a weak intention to block Russian oil, and its impact on the crude oil market will be limited to short - term emotional shocks. Geopolitical risk events have a short - term impact on the crude oil market and cannot reverse the overall trend. After the macro super - week, as major macro uncertainties are gradually eliminated, the market logic will shift more towards fundamentals [1][12]. Summary by Directory Policy Nature: Political Gaming Takes Precedence over Energy Blockade - The core logic of the US's secondary sanctions signal against Russia is more of a geopolitical pressure tool rather than a substantial energy blockade. The measure of imposing a 100% tariff on countries like China, India, and Brazil that purchase Russian oil has more political intent than actual enforcement effectiveness. Trump chose to start sanctions through an executive order, leaving a 10 - 12 - day negotiation window and room for flexible adjustment. Considering the export and import structures between relevant countries and the US, the sanctions are likely to stay at the level of "extreme pressure", creating a market expectation of "high threat, low execution" [2]. Historical Reference: The "Pulse - like Impact - Rapid Fading" Path of January Sanctions - The Biden administration's sanctions on Russian oil tankers in January this year can be regarded as a preview of the current situation. Although it initially caused Brent crude to jump 6.8% to $81.2 per barrel in 3 trading days, the actual effect was quickly disproven. - There were structural loopholes in the evasion mechanism. Countries like India and Turkey used old tankers for STS transfer, and China and Russia increased the proportion of RMB settlement. Some ports quickly took over the unloading demand of Russian oil [3]. - The market expectation self - corrected. After the 5th trading day of the sanctions announcement, the oil price started to decline because the actual export volume did not drop significantly. Russia adjusted its export structure, and the overall export volume quickly recovered. The freight increase was lower than expected [4]. - Fundamentals played the ultimate leading role. During the sanctions, OPEC+ maintained a production cut of 160 million barrels per day, US shale oil production was stable, and OECD commercial inventories rose, which jointly suppressed the upward space of oil prices. Brent crude returned to the $75 - 80 range within a week. Compared with the current situation, the market has a higher tolerance for geopolitical disturbances, and short - term sharp fluctuations are unlikely to reappear [6]. Market Focus Shift: The OPEC+ Meeting Will Reshape the Oil Price Logic - As the Fed's interest - rate decision in July becomes clear, the crude oil market logic is accelerating its return to fundamentals. The OPEC+ meeting on August 3 will be a key turning point. - The continuity of the production - cut agreement is a focus. Whether Saudi Arabia will extend its voluntary production cut of 100 million barrels per day is crucial. Maintaining the current policy may support the oil price, while relaxation may suppress the geopolitical premium. OPEC+ core members have already restored 191.9 million barrels per day of production, and the remaining voluntary production - cut quota is only 24.5 million barrels per day [7]. - Russia's production statement is important. Despite the sanctions threat, Russia's crude oil production has been stable. If it promises to maintain production discipline at the meeting, it will strengthen the market's expectation of supply tightness. However, the impact of sanctions on global supply is limited due to Russia's adjusted export structure [8]. - The signal of idle - capacity release is significant. Saudi Arabia has about 300 million barrels per day of idle capacity. Whether it hints at increasing production in the fourth quarter will directly affect the medium - and long - term oil price trend. The market generally expects OPEC+ to approve a production increase of 54.8 million barrels per day in September, which may exacerbate the concern of oversupply. OPEC+ decisions usually have a 4 - 6 - week impact on oil prices, longer than the short - term impact of geopolitical events [9]. Viewpoint Summary: Short - Term Disturbances Do Not Change the Medium - Term Pattern - Trump's tariff threat is a short - term emotional shock. Geopolitical risk events have a short - term impact on the crude oil market and cannot reverse the overall trend. As the OPEC+ meeting approaches, the market logic is shifting from geopolitical gaming to fundamentals. The global crude oil market shows a "tight balance" feature, and factors such as stable US shale oil production and rising OECD inventories restrict the upside space of oil prices. Investors should rationally view the current geopolitical premium, hedge the emotional premium in the short term, and focus on structural opportunities after the OPEC+ meeting in the medium term [12].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The BPI and BSI freight rate indices continued to decline in the current week, but the increase in the BCI freight rate index drove the BDI comprehensive freight rate index to strengthen. The shipping volumes of corn, soybean meal, and coal continued to increase significantly, and the shipping volume of iron ore remained at a high level.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The urea market is in a pattern with support below and suppression above, and the 09 contract is expected to fluctuate weakly. In the short - term, the export of the second batch of urea supports the demand side, and inventories are unlikely to accumulate significantly. However, agricultural demand is gradually weakening, and the fundamentals will continue to face pressure in the second half of the year [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Urea Price Interval Forecast - The price interval forecast for urea in the next month is 1650 - 1950, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 27.16% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 62.1%. For methanol, the price interval is 2200 - 2400, with a volatility of 20.01% and a historical percentile of 51.2%. For polypropylene and plastic, the price intervals are both 6800 - 7400, with volatilities of 10.56% and 15.24% respectively, and historical percentiles of 42.2% and 78.5% [3]. 3.2 Urea Hedging Strategy 3.2.1 Inventory Management - When the finished - product inventory is high and there are concerns about a decline in urea prices, companies can short the urea futures (UR2509) with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry interval of 1800 - 1950. They can also buy 50% of put options (UR2509P1850) to prevent a sharp price drop and sell 50% of call options (UR2509C1950) to reduce capital costs [3]. 3.2.2 Procurement Management - When the procurement inventory is low and there are concerns about a rise in urea prices, companies can buy urea futures (UR2509) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry interval of 1750 - 1900. They can also sell 75% of put options (UR2509P1750) to collect premiums and lock in the purchase price if the price drops [3]. 3.3 Core Contradiction - A large amount of speculative funds left the market on Friday night, and the urea futures are expected to decline, which will put pressure on the spot market. In the medium - term, the second - batch export of urea supports the demand side, and inventories are unlikely to accumulate significantly in the short - term. Factory inventories and pending orders are not under much pressure, and spot prices are slightly fluctuating, which supports the urea price. However, agricultural demand is gradually weakening, and the fundamentals will face pressure in the second half of the year [4]. 3.4利多解读 and 利空解读 - Urea exports have been confirmed, and the futures are expected to show a wide - range shock pattern with enhanced downward support. The domestic policy requires factories to sell urea at low prices, which has a negative impact on the spot market sentiment [5].
