Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The report maintains an optimistic view of the future of the black sector. In the medium to long - term, the logic of rising steel prices remains unchanged under the gradually easing macro - environment, but the real demand for steel is still weak in the short term. For specific varieties, each has different supply - demand situations and price trends, and it is necessary to pay attention to factors such as Sino - US negotiations and overseas macro - environment changes [1][4][9]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Market Information - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3100 yuan/ton, up 54 yuan/ton (1.772%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts were 128,819 tons, and the position of the main contract was 1.953001 million lots, a decrease of 97,544 lots.

The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3299 yuan/ton, up 49 yuan/ton (1.507%). The registered warehouse receipts were 104,667 tons, a decrease of 2398 tons, and the position of the main contract was 1.48273 million lots, a decrease of 18,766 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated price in Lecong was 3300 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan/ton, and in Shanghai was 3330 yuan/ton, up 40 yuan/ton [1]. Strategy View - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market was positive, and the prices of finished steel products fluctuated strongly. Sino - US relations were moderately eased, and the results of the trade negotiations needed to be focused on. The supply and demand of rebar both increased, and the inventory continued to decline. The output of hot - rolled coils decreased slightly, the demand improved marginally, and the inventory contradiction was slightly alleviated. The profitability of steel mills declined significantly, and the supply - side pressure was reduced. In the medium to long - term, the logic of rising steel prices remained unchanged, but the real demand was still weak in the short term [1]. Iron Ore Market Information - The main contract of iron ore (I2601) closed at 786.50 yuan/ton, with a change of +2.01% (+15.50). The position changed by - 6796 lots to 558,800 lots. The weighted position was 944,200 lots. The price of PB powder at Qingdao Port was 792 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 55.75 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 6.62% [3]. Strategy View - The market sentiment improved, and the iron ore futures rebounded at the technical support level. The overseas iron ore shipments continued to increase, and the recent arrival volume was at a low level. The daily average pig iron output dropped below 2.4 million tons. The demand for iron ore weakened, and the port inventory continued to accumulate. The macro - environment had a certain positive impact, and the iron ore price fluctuated [4]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Information - On October 27, the main contract of manganese silicon (SM601) rose 0.52% to close at 5802 yuan/ton.

The spot price in Tianjin was 5650 yuan/ton, with a premium of 86 yuan/ton over the futures. The prices of both were in the shock range and needed to pay attention to the support level and the direction selection near the trend line [7]. Strategy View - The Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee had positive statements, but there was no content exceeding market expectations. It was necessary to pay attention to Sino - US economic and trade negotiations and the APEC meeting. The fundamentals of the black sector were worrying due to high supply and low demand, and there was a risk of "negative feedback" in steel mills. The report was still not pessimistic about the black sector, and it was more cost - effective to look for rebound opportunities. Manganese silicon and ferrosilicon were likely to follow the black sector's trend [8][9]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Information - The main contract of industrial silicon (SI2601) closed at 8965 yuan/ton, up 0.50% (+45).

The main contract of polysilicon (PS2601) closed at 54,500 yuan/ton, up 4.20% (+2195). The weighted position increased by 19,404 lots to 251,023 lots. The average prices of N - type granular silicon, N - type dense material, and N - type re - feeding material were flat, and the basis was - 1520 yuan/ton [11][14]. Strategy View - The price of industrial silicon was slightly up. The supply pressure continued, and the demand support weakened. The cost provided some support, and it was expected to fluctuate in the short term. The polysilicon futures rose due to downstream buying and news rumors. The supply pressure might be alleviated marginally, and the supply - demand pattern might improve, but the short - term de - stocking amplitude was limited. It was necessary to pay attention to the implementation of news and control risks [12][15]. Glass and Soda Ash Market Information - The main contract of glass closed at 1095 yuan/ton, up 0.27% (+3). The prices in North China and Central China decreased. The weekly inventory of float glass sample enterprises was 66.613 million cases, up 2.3374 million cases (3.64%).

The top 20 long - position holders increased 10,679 lots, and the top 20 short - position holders decreased 11,314 lots [17][19]. Strategy View - The glass market mainly traded low - price goods, and the demand recovery was slow. The raw material soda ash price provided support, and the glass price was expected to fluctuate widely. The soda ash supply was stable, the cost pressure increased, and the downstream demand was mainly low - price rigid demand. The soda ash price was expected to consolidate narrowly in the short term, and it was necessary to pay attention to the start - up of equipment and downstream procurement [18][20].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For industrial silicon, the current supply is relatively balanced with an increase in the north and a decrease in the south, and the overall supply will gradually decline in November. The demand in the polysilicon segment will weaken after November due to the dry - season and quota production, and there is still pressure to reduce inventory. It is expected that the short - term market will remain range - bound, and market sentiment changes should be monitored [6]. - For polysilicon, the current supply and demand are both weak, and the inventory is slightly accumulating.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core Viewpoints of the Report - The price of ordinary polysilicon materials is approaching the cost line, and the overall gross profit margin of the industry is narrowing. Although N-type silicon materials maintain a certain premium ability due to the increasing penetration rate of TOPCon battery technology, the demand from the downstream photovoltaic industry chain is weak, and the component tender price continues to decline, leading to the postponement of centralized projects and a reduction in the demand for polysilicon from silicon wafers. In the international market, the high inventory in the European market suppresses import demand, and although the US tariff policy has loosened, it is difficult to fully offset the negative impact of the European market. However, the demand in emerging markets such as the Middle East and Latin America is surging, which buffers the decline in demand to some extent. The rumored policy of strengthening photovoltaic capacity regulation has boosted market confidence, but the specific details and implementation time are still unclear. The upward momentum of polysilicon is expected to weaken further, and the operation suggestion is to lay out long positions at low prices [3]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs a) Market Data - **Futures Market**: The closing price of the main contract of polysilicon is 54,500 yuan/ton, with a month-on-month increase of 2,195 yuan/ton; the open interest of the main contract is 105,877 lots, with a month-on-month increase of 24,322 lots; the basis of polysilicon from December to January is 40 yuan/ton, with a month-on-month decrease of 65 yuan/ton; the price difference between polysilicon and industrial silicon is 45,535 yuan/ton, with a month-on-month increase of 2,150 yuan/ton [3]. - **Spot Market**: The spot price of polysilicon is 52,980 yuan/ton, with no change; the weekly average price of photovoltaic-grade polysilicon is 6.51 US dollars/kg, with a month-on-month decrease of 0.02 US dollars/kg; the basis of polysilicon is 675 yuan/ton, with a month-on-month decrease of 1,545 yuan/ton [3]. - **Upstream Situation**: The closing price of the main contract of industrial silicon is 8,965 yuan/ton, with a month-on-month increase of 45 yuan/ton; the spot price of industrial silicon is 9,350 yuan/ton, with no change; the export volume of industrial silicon is 70,232.72 tons, with a month-on-month decrease of 6,409.29 tons; the import volume of industrial silicon is 1,939.85 tons, with a month-on-month increase of 602.27 tons; the monthly output of industrial silicon is 402,800 tons, with a month-on-month increase of 36,000 tons; the total social inventory of industrial silicon is 552,000 tons, with a month-on-month increase of 10,000 tons [3]. - **Industrial Situation**: The monthly output of polysilicon is 130,000 tons, with a month-on-month increase of 5,000 tons; the monthly import volume of polysilicon is 1,292 tons, with a month-on-month increase of 286 tons; the weekly spot price of imported polysilicon materials in China is 6.9 US dollars/kg, with a month-on-month increase of 0.01 US dollars/kg; the monthly average import price of polysilicon in China is 2,350 US dollars/ton, with a month-on-month decrease of 270 US dollars/ton [3]. - **Downstream Situation**: The monthly output of solar cells is 6.9857 million kilowatts, with a month-on-month increase of 347,500 kilowatts; the average price of solar cells is 0.82 RMB/W, with a month-on-month increase of 0.01 RMB/W; the monthly export volume of photovoltaic modules is 129,531,200 pieces, with a month-on-month decrease of 19,491,300 pieces; the monthly import volume of photovoltaic modules is 14,733,700 pieces, with a month-on-month decrease of 6,706,500 pieces; the monthly average import price of photovoltaic modules is 0.3 US dollars/piece, with a month-on-month increase of 0.06 US dollars/piece; the comprehensive price index of the photovoltaic industry (SPI) for polysilicon is 32.82, with no change [3]. b) Industry News - Affected by recent policy guidance and the adjustment of electricity prices during the wet and dry seasons, some polysilicon production bases in the southwest region have gradually reduced raw material input, and are expected to achieve full production suspension from the end of October to early November, involving an annual production capacity of about 320,000 tons.
