Group 1: Market Information - **In the futures market of rebar**: RB05 was at 3223 yuan/ton, down 38 yuan; RB10 was at 3113 yuan/ton, down 25 yuan; RB01 was at 3182 yuan/ton, down 39 yuan. The spreads between different contracts also changed, such as RB01 - RB05 being -38 yuan, down 1 yuan [3]. - **In the futures market of hot - rolled coil**: HC05 was at 3361 yuan/ton, down 27 yuan; HC10 was at 3367 yuan/ton, down 22 yuan; HC01 was at 3357 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan. The spreads between different contracts also had fluctuations, like HC01 - HC05 being -4 yuan, up 7 yuan [3]. - **In the spot market of rebar**: The prices of rebar in different regions had slight changes. For example, Shanghai Zhongtian was at 3270 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan. The spot profits in different regions generally decreased, such as the East China rebar profit dropping from -157 yuan to -163 yuan [3]. - **In the spot market of hot - rolled coil**: The prices of hot - rolled coil in different regions also changed. For example, Tianjin Hegang hot - rolled coil was at 3370 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan. The spot profits of hot - rolled coil in some regions decreased, such as the Tianjin hot - rolled coil profit dropping from -192 yuan to -195 yuan [3]. Group 2: Market Judgment - **Related prices**: The net price of Shanghai Zhongtian rebar was 3280 yuan (+30), Beijing Jingye was 3250 yuan (+10), Shanghai Angang hot - rolled coil was 3430 yuan (+30), and Tianjin Hegang hot - rolled coil was 3380 yuan (+20) [7]. - **Trading strategy**: The black sector declined today, maintaining a weak oscillation. Spot trading was weak, mainly at low prices. Steel production continued to resume last week, with rebar production decreasing and hot - rolled coil production increasing. The overall inventory of the five major steel products increased, but the inventory accumulation speed slowed down. Steel exports remained strong, and the apparent demand for hot - rolled products was still high. The steel price was supported due to the recovery of steel demand, high hot - metal production, and strong steel exports. As the military parade approaches, hot - metal production is expected to decrease next week, alleviating the supply pressure. However, after August, the coal daily consumption will decline, blast furnaces may resume production quickly, and the steel fundamentals may deteriorate. If the expectation of coal mine production reduction fails, the steel price will still face pressure after the parade. It is expected that the steel price will maintain a bottom - oscillating trend in the short term. In September, attention should be paid to the peak - season demand, coal mine safety inspections, overseas tariffs, and domestic macro and industrial policies [8]. - **Option strategy**: It is recommended to wait and see [9]. - **Unilateral and arbitrage strategies**: The steel price is expected to maintain a bottom - oscillating trend. It is recommended to wait and see for arbitrage [10]. Group 3: Related Attachments - The report provides multiple figures related to rebar and hot - rolled coil, including price trends, basis, spreads, and profit trends over different time periods and contract types, with data sources from Galaxy Futures, Mysteel, and Wind [16][20][28]

The supply of soybeans in Q4 is relatively sufficient, but there may be a supply gap in Q1 next year. The weather in the US soybean - producing areas may affect new - season crops. The market is cautiously bullish on soybean meal in the medium - to - long - term [35] - **Vegetable Oils**: - **Soybean Oil & Palm Oil**: The US soybean oil has strengthened. The Malaysian palm oil export is strong, and the production growth is limited. The market is expected to be in a long - term bullish trend, and a strategy of buying on dips is recommended [36] - **Rapeseed Oil & Rapeseed Meal**: The crushing rate of rapeseed is low due to low inventory. The supply of new - season rapeseed is affected by weather in Canada and Australia. The market is expected to be oscillatory in the short - term and may be supported by import uncertainty in the medium - term [37] - **Corn**: The China Grain Reserves Corporation continued to auction imported corn this week.

Buying futures contracts for the first half of next year on dips is recommended [41] - **Cotton**: The US cotton is oscillating. The weekly signing volume of US cotton decreased. The Brazilian cotton harvest progress is slow. The domestic cotton market is expected to be oscillatory, and a strategy of buying on dips is recommended [42] - **Sugar**: The US sugar is oscillating.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No specific industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Overseas, the optimism about the interest - rate cut has subsided, the US dollar index has rebounded, and the global risk appetite has cooled. In China, the economic data in July was weaker than expected, but policy stimulus has increased, and the domestic risk preference has continued to rise. Different asset classes have different short - term trends and investment suggestions [2]. - The recent market trading logic focuses on domestic incremental stimulus policies and easing expectations, with the short - term macro upward driving force marginally strengthened. Attention should be paid to the progress of Sino - US trade negotiations and the implementation of domestic incremental policies [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: Driven by sectors such as rare earths, liquor, precious metals, and non - ferrous metals, the domestic stock market continued to rise significantly. With the enhanced policy stimulus and reduced external risks, the domestic risk preference has increased. It is recommended to be cautiously bullish in the short term [3]. - **Precious Metals**: Precious metals oscillated on Monday. After Powell's dovish speech, the international gold price rose sharply. The market's expectation of a September interest - rate cut is over 86%. With stagflation risks and geopolitical uncertainties, gold has strong short - term support, but beware of the Fed's attitude reversal [3][4]. - **Black Metals** - **Steel**: The steel futures and spot markets rebounded slightly on Monday. Although the current demand is weak and the inventory is rising, with the approaching of the 9.3 parade, supply is likely to decline. It is recommended to treat the steel market as a range - bound oscillation [5]. - **Iron Ore**: The iron ore futures and spot prices rebounded significantly on Monday. With high steel - mill profits and increasing iron - water production, but due to the approaching parade and sufficient supply, the price is expected to oscillate in the short term [5]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: The spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese were flat on Monday, and the futures prices rebounded slightly. With increasing production and supply, the iron - alloy prices are expected to oscillate in the short term [6][7]. - **Soda Ash and Glass** - **Soda Ash**: The soda - ash main contract oscillated strongly on Monday. With high supply, high inventory, and weak demand, the supply - side contradiction suppresses the price, and the upside space is limited [8]. - **Glass**: The glass main contract was strong on Monday, affected by real - estate news. With stable supply and limited demand growth, it is expected to oscillate in the short term [8]. Non - Ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: High tariffs affect the economy, and with increasing copper - mine supply and weakening domestic demand, the strong copper - price trend is hard to sustain [9][10]. - **Aluminum**: The aluminum price rose significantly on Monday, boosted by the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation. With increasing inventory, the medium - term upside space is limited, and it will oscillate in the short term [10]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: With tight scrap - aluminum supply, high production costs, and weak demand, the price is expected to oscillate strongly in the short term, but the upside space is limited [10]. - **Tin**: With increasing supply and weak demand, the tin price is expected to oscillate in the short term, with support from smelter maintenance and peak - season expectations, but restricted by high tariffs,复产 expectations, and weak demand [11]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: After the previous sentiment decline, it is expected to oscillate widely, short - term bearish and long - term bullish [13]. - **Industrial Silicon**: With the black and polysilicon markets oscillating at high levels, the industrial silicon is expected to oscillate in a range [13]. - **Polysilicon**: Facing the game between strong expectations and weak reality, it is expected to oscillate at a high level in the short term [14].

Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The overnight CBOT November soybeans closed down. The US soybean export inspection volume and the crop's good - to - excellent rate were better than expected, increasing the pressure of a bumper - harvest expectation [17]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The pressure of inventory accumulation of domestic oil - mill soybeans and soybean meal has eased. The supply in the fourth quarter may shrink, and rapeseed meal still has an upward - fluctuation basis [18]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: The rapeseed - oil port inventory has been decreasing, and the supply - contraction expectation is strong. The soybean - oil cost expectation has strengthened, and a low - valuation rebound is expected [19]. - **Palm Oil**: In the production - increasing cycle, with no prominent supply - demand contradiction and no incremental consumption expectation from policies, the market may enter an oscillation. The domestic demand is restricted by the soybean - palm - oil price difference, and the inventory is decreasing [20]. - **Corn**: The national corn price is running weakly. The futures price has entered a relatively low - valuation range, and the possibility of breaking through last year's range is small [21]. - **Pigs**: The weight of pigs has declined, and there is some support from secondary fattening. However, with the increase in secondary - fattening transportation costs and limited replenishment, the market's pessimism about the fourth - quarter outlook has increased [22][23].
