Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: Concerns about the Fed's independence and the potential impact of US tariffs on India's oil imports have affected oil prices. There is still some support for oil prices in the near term [16]. - **Asphalt**: Supported by anti - involution in the petrochemical industry and rising crude oil prices, but with limited inventory reduction, it is expected to remain weakly oscillating in the near term [16]. - **PX**: It is in a tight situation in the short term and is expected to oscillate while waiting for changes in PTA device operations [16]. - **PTA**: Driven by capacity adjustments and increased downstream demand, it is expected to maintain a relatively strong oscillating pattern in the short term [17]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Port inventory has decreased slightly. Supported by downstream demand recovery, but facing supply pressure, short - term buying on dips should pay attention to crude oil cost fluctuations [18][19]. - **Short - fiber**: Driven by sector resonance, its price increased slightly. It is expected to follow the polyester sector and may be shorted on rallies in the medium term [19]. - **Methanol**: The fundamentals are showing marginal improvement, but the oversupply situation remains. It is expected to oscillate in price [19]. - **PP**: Supply pressure is increasing, but there is policy support. The 09 contract is expected to oscillate weakly, and the 01 contract should focus on peak - season inventory - building [19]. - **LLDPE**: Supply pressure remains, and demand shows signs of turning. The 09 contract is expected to oscillate weakly, and the 01 contract should focus on demand and inventory - building [19]. Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The selling pressure of US Treasuries has increased, and the weakening of the US dollar has provided some support to commodities. The expected Sino - US trade negotiations have boosted the export sales expectations of US soybeans [20]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The pressure of continuous inventory accumulation of domestic soybean and soybean meal in oil mills has eased. Rapeseed meal still has the basis for upward fluctuations. Attention should be paid to the development of Sino - Canadian trade relations [21]. - **Oils**: Rapeseed oil inventory is decreasing, and the supply is expected to shrink; soybean oil is expected to have a low - valuation price - increase market; palm oil is expected to enter an oscillating phase [21]. - **Corn**: The national corn price is running weakly. The futures price has entered a relatively low - valuation range, and there is a low possibility of breaking through the previous range [21]. - **Pigs**: The weight of pigs has declined, and the second - fattening market is cautious. The market's pessimistic sentiment about the fourth - quarter outlook has increased [22].

Group 1: Report Summary - Investment Rating: Not provided - Core View: The industrial silicon market shows a short - term improvement in supply - demand pattern with slight inventory reduction, but high total inventory and supply increase pressure suppress the upward movement of the futures price. The polysilicon market is affected by policies, with large price fluctuations, and is suitable for long - position layout at low prices in the medium - to - long term [1][3][7] Group 2: Industrial Silicon Market Analysis Market Performance - On August 25, 2025, the industrial silicon futures market opened high and closed low. The main contract 2511 opened at 8930 yuan/ton and closed at 8675 yuan/ton, a change of 5 yuan/ton (0.06%) from the previous settlement.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Industry Silicon: Oscillation / Polysilicon: Oscillation [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The resumption rhythm of large factories in Xinjiang still affects the fundamental changes of industrial silicon. Although the fundamentals of industrial silicon are weakening marginally, the short - term price may fluctuate between 8,200 - 9,500 yuan/ton, and investors should pay attention to range - trading opportunities. For polysilicon, the price may run between 49,000 - 57,000 yuan/ton in the short term and is expected to exceed 60,000 yuan/ton in the long term. The strategy is to be bullish on pullbacks, and consider 11 - 12 reverse - spread opportunities around - 2,000 yuan/ton [3][16] - The government's policy of regulating the photovoltaic industry competition order has an impact on the price of polysilicon and its upstream and downstream products. Although the component price has increased, the terminal demand is not optimistic, and it is necessary to pay attention to whether there will be incremental policies [2][12][14] 3.

New orders were few, mainly fulfilling previous orders. The delivery price of centralized projects was between 0.62 - 0.68 yuan/watt, and the distributed spot price was stagnant, with a small amount of transactions above 0.7 yuan/watt. After the symposium, component prices are expected to rise. Huadian's 20GW photovoltaic component centralized procurement bid opened, with an average price of 0.71 yuan/watt for the first - stage bid, which is lower than expected but can cover the cost. With policy support, the component bidding price is expected to exceed 0.7 yuan/watt, but the terminal demand is not optimistic [14] 3.3 Investment Suggestions - **Industrial Silicon**: Pay attention to the resumption progress of large factories in Xinjiang. Although the fundamentals are weakening, the price may fluctuate between 8,200 - 9,500 yuan/ton in the short term due to the expectation of US interest rate cuts and the "anti - involution" of the domestic photovoltaic industry chain. Look for range - trading opportunities [3][16] - **Polysilicon**: The futures price is strongly supported by the spot transaction price of leading enterprises. In the short term, the price may run between 49,000 - 57,000 yuan/ton and is expected to exceed 60,000 yuan/ton in the long term.
