1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report is bullish on the glass main contract [2] 2. Core Viewpoints - The first wave of the glass main contract's rise is not over, and it maintains a strong feature. It is recommended to continue low - buying and not to chase after rising [5] - The three major A - share indices rose overall, with the Shanghai Composite Index achieving six consecutive positive days, showing a trend feature. The rebound cycle has increased from 15 minutes to 60 minutes [6] - Gold shows signs of starting an upward movement after a period of sideways oscillation, and it is advisable to try going long [8] - Iron ore is in the process of finding a bottom, with weak domestic demand support. Technically, it should be viewed with a wide - range oscillation mindset, adopting a strategy of high - selling and low - buying [9] - The daily melting of glass has declined, and there has been another inventory reduction this week. The main driving forces are policy - side stimulus and supply - side clearance. Technically, the daily line closed positive, and it can be viewed with an oscillation mindset in the near term [13][14] - The freight of methanol has increased significantly recently, increasing the arrival cost in the sales area. The new olefin project of Lianhong has a stable load of 80%, showing an incremental demand. After the continuous rise of port methanol prices, the amount of port goods flowing back to Shandong has gradually decreased. Under multiple positive factors, the market in the sales area is strong [16] - With domestic policies continuing to boost domestic demand, overseas pulp mills increasing production cuts, and the gradual elimination of backward papermaking production capacity, the demand for commercial pulp should see an accelerated overall improvement. It is judged to be in an oscillating state [19] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Reasons for being bullish on the glass main contract - Valuation is at a historical low: The current contract price is approaching the 1000 - yuan/ton key level, close to the cost line, with a significant discount compared to the historical center, having sufficient safety margin and limited downside space [3] - Policy benefits are gradually transmitted: Real - estate relief policies are continuously implemented across the country. The arrival of funds for ensuring the completion of buildings supports the demand for completion. Renovation of old residential areas and construction of affordable housing bring incremental structural demand [3] - Inventory pressure is marginally relieved: Some glass factories actively cut production and reduce the daily melting volume. As winter storage gradually starts, the risk of the inventory "dam" will be slowly released, and the supply - demand pattern is expected to improve. On December 24, the fourth - line float - glass production line of Xinyi Ultra - thin Glass (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. with a designed capacity of 900 tons per day stopped production for cold repair [3] - A technical oversold rebound is expected: After the price fell below multiple long - term moving averages, the short - selling momentum was fully released, showing an oversold signal, with a short - term need for technical repair [3] - Industry supply constraints are strengthened: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology strictly prohibits new production capacity, and the industry supply side continues to tighten. In the long run, the repair of the supply - demand mismatch will support the price to return to a reasonable range. For operation, in the medium - and long - term, gradually build long positions on pullbacks, and strictly control positions in the short - term [3]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term prices of both glass and soda ash may fluctuate. For glass, although there are short - term supports from macro - sentiment and coal price rebound, its upward driving force is insufficient. For soda ash, despite short - term support from continuous losses, slight de - stocking, and coal price rebound, the overall supply is still in surplus and the demand is expected to weaken [3][6] Summary by Related Catalogs Glass - **Spot Market**: In the North China market, transactions are relatively flexible with prices weakly operating; in the East China market, enterprises purchase cautiously and some manufacturers' quotes are loose; in the Central China market, overall transactions are weak with a few prices falling; in the South China region, shipments are okay and most are on the sidelines. The market is generally not optimistic about year - end demand, and purchases are mainly for rigid needs [1] - **Supply**: As of December 18, the daily average output of national float glass was 155,000 tons, with a weekly output of 1.0849 million tons, unchanged from the previous week and a year - on - year decrease of 3.24%. The industry average operating rate was 73.99%, a 0.14% week - on - week increase; the average capacity utilization rate was 77.48%, unchanged from the previous week. A float glass production line in Guangdong with a designed capacity of 900 tons per day was shut down for cold repair, reigniting the expectation of production line cold repair [1] - **Inventory**: The total inventory of sample enterprises was 58.558 million heavy boxes, a week - on - week increase of 331,000 heavy boxes, a 0.57% increase, and a year - on - year increase of 25.73%.

The average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises were 9.7 days, a 4.2% week - on - week decrease and a 22.6% year - on - year decrease [2] - **Profit**: As of December 18, the profit of natural - gas - fired production lines was - 181.4 yuan/ton (a week - on - week increase of 15.02 yuan/ton), the profit of petroleum - coke - fired production lines was - 0.07 yuan/ton (a week - on - week decrease of 35.71 yuan/ton), and the profit of coal - gas - fired production lines was - 7.63 yuan/ton (a week - on - week decrease of 14.14 yuan/ton) [2] Soda Ash - **Spot Market**: The spot market of soda ash fluctuates, with the trading center moving down. Enterprise devices fluctuate slightly, and the output of individual enterprises increases. Near the end of the month, downstream enterprises have poor purchasing sentiment, mostly on the sidelines, maintaining just - in - time procurement at low prices [4] - **Supply**: Last week, the soda ash output was 721,400 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 14,000 tons, a decline of 1.91%. The output of light soda ash was 331,100 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 65,000 tons; the output of heavy soda ash was 390,300 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 75,000 tons. The comprehensive capacity utilization rate was 82.74%, down 1.61% from the previous week. The overall capacity utilization rate of 15 enterprises with an annual production capacity of one million tons or more was 87.49%, a week - on - week decrease of 1.33%. Although the new capacity of Alxa Phase II was put into production recently, the overall industry operating rate has been adjusted down, and the short - term supply pressure has been slightly relieved [4] - **Inventory**: The total inventory of domestic manufacturers was 1.5004 million tons, an increase of 1,100 tons from last Thursday, an increase of 0.07%.

Light soda ash is relatively stable, while the overall situation of heavy soda ash downstream is weak. In the short term, the production capacity of float glass and photovoltaic glass is stable, and the overall rigid demand fluctuates little. However, there is still an expectation of glass cold repair at the end of the month, and the rigid demand for heavy soda ash may weaken [4] - **Profit**: As of December 18, the theoretical profit (per two tons) of the combined - soda process was - 41 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 16.33%. The theoretical profit of the ammonia - soda process was - 66.7 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 1.33%.
