Treasury Bond Futures - Conservative strategies can continue to focus on the curve steepening strategy, and aggressive strategies can consider buying on dips in the short term. The PMI data in August stabilized after a rapid decline. The stock index and long - term bonds showed a strong negative correlation. The key contradiction in the bond market lies in the stock index [14]. Black Commodities Steel and Ore - The short - term price may adjust, and the medium - term will maintain a shock market. The implementation of relevant policies has limited impact on the supply of steel products. The real demand in the downstream of steel is limited, and there may be a situation of "no peak season in the peak season". The supply is expected to remain strong, and the cost and profit are affected by the price of raw materials [18][19]. Coking Coal and Coke - The price may continue to fluctuate at a high level in the short term, and the capital game is intense. The supply of coking coal may be tight in the short term, and the demand from steel mills provides support, but there is also downward pressure [20]. Ferroalloys - Pay attention to the long - buying opportunity of the ferrosilicon 10 - contract. For manganese silicon, maintain the medium - and long - term idea of short - selling on rebounds. The current supply of both ferrosilicon and manganese silicon is in an oversupply situation [21][22]. Soda Ash and Glass - For soda ash, maintain the idea of short - selling on rallies, and leave the market flexibly if a positive feedback atmosphere emerges. For glass, it is recommended to wait and see. The supply of soda ash may increase, and the demand for photovoltaic glass is stable. The inventory pressure of glass has been relieved, but there is potential pressure on upstream shipments [23]. Non - ferrous and New Materials Aluminum and Alumina - The price of aluminum is expected to fluctuate at a high level in the short term, and it is recommended to wait and see. The price of alumina is expected to decline with shocks, and it is recommended to short on rallies. The demand for aluminum is weak, and the supply of alumina is in excess [25]. Lithium Carbonate - Without new drivers, the price will mainly operate in a wide - range shock. In September, the demand is in the peak season, and there may be inventory reduction, which will support the price [26]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - The price of industrial silicon will operate in a shock, and the key lies in the resumption of production of leading manufacturers in Xinjiang. The price of polysilicon will operate in a wide - range shock, and policy expectations will affect the price [27][28]. Agricultural Products Cotton - The upstream - downstream game is intense, and the supply is low while the demand is weak. It is advisable to wait and see in the short term and be bearish on rallies in the long term. The price is affected by the international cotton price and macro factors. The domestic cotton inventory is low, but the downstream demand is weak [29]. Sugar - The import volume has increased significantly, and the short - term supply - demand relationship is relatively loose. It is recommended to short on rallies in the short term and pay attention to the support at the low point in mid - August. The international and domestic sugar markets are affected by multiple factors such as production and demand [30][31]. Eggs - The 10 - contract is a post - festival contract, and there is a game between weak reality and the expectation of concentrated culling of old hens. It is recommended to take profit on short positions and wait and see, and be cautious when buying at the bottom. The current supply pressure is high, but the futures position has reached a new high [33]. Apples - Consider buying on dips or using a long - 10 short - 01 positive spread combination. The price of early - maturing apples is high - quality and high - price, and the price of stored apples is relatively stable. The new - season Fuji apple price will be affected by early - maturing and old - season apples [35]. Corn - Consider shorting the 01 - contract on rallies or using an 11 - 1 positive spread. The domestic corn price is weak, and the supply and demand are under pressure. The policy grain supply and substitutes affect the demand, and the downstream processing demand is weak [35][36]. Jujubes - It is recommended to wait and see. The local rainfall in Xinjiang may affect the quality of jujubes, and the transaction price in the production area is stable [37]. Live Pigs - Short on rallies for near - month contracts and consider long - buying opportunities for the 01 - contract. The supply pressure in August was high, and it may continue in September. The demand is gradually recovering, but it is difficult to reverse the situation of "strong supply and weak demand" [37][38]. Energy and Chemical Crude Oil - The price will operate in a strong shock in the short term and is expected to be weak in the medium and long term. The negotiation between the US, Russia, and Ukraine will take a long time, and the inventory data shows that the peak - season demand is approaching the end. Pay attention to the progress of the Russia - Ukraine event and the OPEC+ meeting [39]. Fuel Oil - The price will follow the price of crude oil. The future focus is on whether the price reflects the expected supply - demand surplus or geopolitical and macro factors. The supply of fuel oil is affected by domestic refinery demand and inventory [39][40]. Plastics - The supply pressure is relatively large, and it is expected to be weak in a shock. The positive sentiment from the elimination of backward production capacity has faded, and the supply is high while the demand is weak [40]. Rubber - Pay attention to the long - buying opportunity on dips, and be cautious when chasing high. The short - term fundamentals have no obvious contradictions, and the raw material price and demand affect the price [40][41]. Methanol - The price will continue to be weak in a shock. The port inventory is increasing, and the supply pressure is relatively large. The spot price is weakening [42]. Caustic Soda - The spot price is strong, and a long - buying idea should be maintained. The transportation restriction has been lifted, and the demand is expected to increase. The futures price is also strong [43]. Asphalt - The price will follow the price of crude oil. The asphalt fundamentals are stable, and the price is affected by the international oil price [43][44]. Polyester Industry Chain - It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and consider a PX positive spread opportunity. The industry is in the transition period between the off - season and peak season, and the supply - demand relationship is expected to improve [46]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas - The price follows the crude oil price and is affected by the import volume. The supply is abundant, and the demand is difficult to exceed expectations. It is recommended to maintain a bearish view in the long term [47]. Pulp - The fundamentals are unchanged, and the price rebounds after hitting the bottom. Observe whether the port inventory continues to decline and the spot transaction and demand after Chenming's resumption of production [48]. Logs - The fundamentals are in a shock state, and the spot price is stable. The supply may face pressure, but the demand is expected to improve in the peak season [48]. Urea - The short - term export is optimistic, and the futures price will operate in a strong shock. The spot price is stable, and the downstream demand is weak. The factory maintenance is increasing, and the daily output is below 190,000 tons [49]. Synthetic Rubber - The fundamentals are gradually improving, and pay attention to low - buying opportunities. The industry chain has no obvious contradictions, and the price is affected by raw materials and demand [50].

Macro Analysis - The increase in tariffs has only raised the average U.S. import tax rate by 6.6 percentage points as of June 2024, which is lower than market expectations. The low proportion of taxable goods and changes in import structure are key reasons for this outcome [2][3] - U.S. companies are currently bearing approximately 63% of the tariff costs, while consumers are responsible for less than 40%. This cost distribution may change as inventory is depleted and trade policy uncertainties decrease [3] - If the average U.S. import tax rate rises by 10% within the year, it could push the PCE year-on-year growth rate to 3.1% and the core PCE to 3.4%, assuming stable demand [3] Market Strategy - The Chinese stock market is expected to continue rising, with the index likely to reach new highs. Factors supporting this outlook include accelerated economic transformation, declining risk-free interest rates, and capital market reforms [6][7] - There is an anticipated expansion in market trends, with increased allocations towards mid-cap stocks and undervalued blue-chip stocks.
