1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Glass and Soda Ash - In the context of macro - warming and driven by news of coking coal accidents, the soda ash futures market rebounded. Fundamentally, weekly production increased significantly, but the demand was obviously in excess under the current weekly production. In the medium - term, after the second - quarter rush for photovoltaic installation, the growth of photovoltaic glass capacity slowed down, and the float glass capacity remained flat. There is still pressure on supply and demand in the future, and there may be further cold - repair expectations. Without actual capacity withdrawal or load reduction, the inventory will be further pressured. Attention should be paid to the implementation of policies and the load - regulation of soda ash plants [1]. Natural Rubber - Due to continuous rainy weather in both domestic and foreign production areas, upstream supply fell short of expectations, and raw material prices remained high. The de - stocking rate of spot inventory in Qingdao slowed down, and with the incremental release of alternative plantings in Yunnan, China's social inventory increased, intensifying the market's bearish sentiment. In terms of demand, although agents may slightly increase their purchases to meet monthly tasks at the end of the month, downstream demand mainly continues with regular replenishment. Affected by external factors, trading in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region may slow down, and mining and engineering operations in some other regions may be suspended, which is negative for the replacement demand. Overall, affected by the dovish stance of the Federal Reserve, market sentiment improved, driving up rubber prices, but rubber prices are expected to fluctuate within a range. The reference range for the 01 contract is 15,000 - 16,500. Follow - up attention should be paid to the raw material supply during the peak production season in the main production areas, and short positions can be considered if the raw material supply goes smoothly [3]. Polysilicon - In August, both supply and demand of polysilicon increased, but the supply growth rate was relatively large, and there was still pressure on inventory accumulation. Due to the previous sharp rise in prices above the full - cost level and the addition of two new delivery brands by the Guangzhou Futures Exchange, it is expected that the number of warehouse receipts will further increase. Currently, attention can be paid to the constraints of energy consumption and green - electricity ratio in promoting the orderly exit of backward production capacity. The price will mainly fluctuate at a high level, with the lower limit of the price fluctuation range rising to 47,000 yuan/ton and the upper limit possibly between 58,000 - 60,000 yuan/ton. It is recommended to try long positions on dips. When the price is high, put options can be bought during low - volatility periods to try short positions. Technically, the futures price may choose a direction to break through in a converging triangle, and straddle options can be bought when the volatility is low. Investors are advised to pay attention to position control and risk management in advance [5]. Industrial Silicon - From the cost perspective, raw material prices started to rise, and the electricity price in the southwest region will gradually increase during the dry season, causing the cost center of industrial silicon to rise. Although the production of industrial silicon increased month - on - month recently, there were also news of production - capacity clearance, and small furnaces may be shut down. In terms of supply and demand, both supply and demand increased in August, maintaining a tight balance. If some production capacity is cleared in the long - term, the supply pressure will be reduced. It is recommended to try long positions on dips. However, it should be noted that as production increases, inventory and warehouse - receipt pressure are emerging. The main price fluctuation range is expected to be between 8,000 - 9,500 yuan/ton, and long positions established at the previous low level of 8,000 - 8,500 yuan/ton should be held [6]. Logs - No overall core view is explicitly stated in the log report, but data on price, supply, inventory, and demand are presented. 3.
