Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - For the glass market, in October, the supply of glass production lines remains stable, but with the approaching of the peak season for natural gas demand and the expected increase in natural gas prices, the cold - repair willingness of natural gas - fueled production lines may strengthen, and the number of cold - repair production lines is expected to increase compared to September. The demand showed a short - term recovery during the National Day, but it's hard to sustain. After the holiday, the market may shift from supply - demand trading to policy - based trading, and the price is likely to oscillate upwards. It is recommended to buy glass futures at low prices in the short term [2]. - For the soda ash market, the second - phase partial devices of Yuanxing Energy are expected to be put into production, intensifying the supply - surplus situation. In October, it's the off - season for downstream demand, and the supply continues to increase, which may lead to a rise in enterprise inventory and price pressure. The demand recovery during the National Day is hard to sustain, and the growth of heavy - soda demand in the photovoltaic industry is limited. The price may continue to decline, but there is also a possibility of enterprise production cuts, which could stimulate price recovery. It is recommended to buy soda ash futures at low prices in the short term [2]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillating", and the short - term prices of various varieties are expected to be mainly in an oscillating state [6]. 2. Core View of the Report - During the long holiday, the spot market of the black building materials industry remained stable. Industry demand was restricted by poor domestic demand and frequent overseas tariffs, but the furnace material side continued to support the prices of sector varieties. In this pattern, it is expected that the prices of sector varieties will mainly oscillate. Attention should be paid to domestic meetings and overseas interest rate cuts to boost market sentiment again [6]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Overall Industry Situation - During the long holiday, steel and billet prices remained stable. Iron ore swaps and spot prices rose slightly by 0.3 - 1.3%. The first round of coke price increase was implemented, while coking coal, alloy, glass, and soda ash prices remained stable. The demand performance in early October was still lackluster, and frequent overseas tariff disturbances limited the upside potential of post - holiday prices. High hot metal production supported the demand and prices of furnace materials, thus stabilizing steel costs [1]. 3.2 Specific Variety Analysis 3.2.1 Steel - During the holiday, the inventory of steel accumulated too quickly, and the current pressure still existed. The spot market transactions were generally weak, and the prices were basically stable. The output of the five major steel products remained at a relatively high level during the holiday, but the demand shrank significantly, and the inventory accumulation was obvious. Overseas tariff policies were constantly disturbing, but the short - term impact was expected to be limited. Although the current steel inventory was at a moderately high level and the short - term disk was under pressure, there were still expectations for anti - involution policies in the 14th Five - Year Plan, the macro - environment was still warm, and the cost side had certain support, so the downside space of the disk was limited [7]. 3.2.2 Iron Ore - During the holiday, the iron ore market was stable, and the overseas market rose slightly. Overseas mine shipments decreased slightly month - on - month, while the port arrivals increased. The demand for iron ore was supported by high hot metal production, and some steel mills had restocking plans after the holiday. The inventory pressure was not prominent. However, the general performance of the building materials peak - season demand limited the upside space of iron ore. It is expected that the short - term price will oscillate [8][9]. 3.2.3 Scrap Steel - During the holiday, the supply and demand of scrap steel were stable, and the spot price fell slightly. After the steel enterprises completed pre - holiday restocking, the spot price decreased. The current pressure on finished product prices led to a contraction in electric furnace profits. It is expected that the short - term price will follow the finished products [10]. 3.2.4 Coke - During the holiday, the coke price increase was implemented, and the supply and demand decreased slightly. The profitability of coking enterprises improved slightly, but the high raw coal price still restricted the overall start - up. The demand was supported by high hot metal production. The upstream inventory was still at a low level. It is expected that the post - holiday price will remain oscillating [11]. 3.2.5 Coking Coal - During the holiday, some coking coal mines were on holiday, and the market operated stably. After the holiday, coal mine production will recover quickly, and Mongolian coal imports will also reach a high level. The overall supply is expected to increase, but the increase will be restricted. The demand for coking coal will remain high in the short term. Overall, the fundamental contradiction of coking coal is not prominent, and the price is expected to remain oscillating [11][12]. 3.2.6 Glass - During the holiday, the glass production and sales were weak, and manufacturers tried to raise prices to boost sentiment. A large amount of inventory was accumulated during the National Day. If the post - holiday price increase fails to stimulate restocking sentiment, the fundamental logic may suppress the futures and spot prices again. In the long - term, market - oriented capacity reduction is still needed, and if the price returns to fundamental trading, it is expected to oscillate downward [12][13]. 3.2.7 Soda Ash - During the holiday, soda ash was expected to accumulate inventory, and the fundamental supply - demand situation changed little. The supply - surplus pattern remained unchanged. It is expected that the price will oscillate widely following macro - changes. In the long - term, the price center will decline to promote capacity reduction [15]. 3.2.8 Manganese Silicon - During the holiday, the manganese silicon market remained stable, and the pessimistic supply - demand situation suppressed the price. In the short - term, high production costs and peak - season demand expectations supported the price, but the market supply - demand expectation was pessimistic, and there was still downward pressure on the price center after the peak season [2][16]. 3.2.9 Silicon Iron - During the holiday, the silicon iron market operated stably, and the loose supply - demand situation pressured the price. In the short - term, peak - season expectations and firm costs supported the price, but the market supply - demand relationship was becoming looser, and there was still downward pressure on the price after the peak season [2][17]. 3.3 Other Information - The report also provides basis seasonal charts for steel, iron ore, coking coal, coke, silicon iron, silicon manganese, glass, and soda ash, as well as profit seasonal charts and steel daily trading volume data. In addition, it shows the performance of the CITIC Futures Commodity Index and the steel industry chain index [19][20][61][81].

图为国内纯碱周度产量 自9月以来，原料价格普遍上涨导致纯碱企业生产成本出现不同程度的增长，部分企业亏损加剧。虽然部分纯碱企业通过阶段性 上调价格来缓解自身成本压力，但下游接受程度相对较低，试探性涨价无法有效改善其经营状况。相反，在市场需求相对疲软 的情况下，价格上涨反而抑制了一部分下游采购需求，行业产销压力增大。 国庆假期结束后，预计全国纯碱产量继续保持在较高水平，一方面是因为行业开工率普遍较高，另一方面是因为新建项目逐步 投产。事实上，自去年年初以来，我国纯碱行业就一直处于供大于求的局面，玻璃等主要终端消费领域的需求增长速度明显放 缓，进一步加剧了供大于求的局面。此外，全球贸易摩擦也为出口带来了不确定性，出口对需求的拉动作用减弱。在此背景 下，即使全行业短期内能够通过调整开工率等方式调节产量，但从长远角度来看，若不能从根本上改变结构性供需矛盾，就很 难实现真正的复苏。 图为国内纯碱周度库存 看向需求端，目前下游对纯碱的实际需求没有出现明显增长。国庆假期之前，许多工厂开始提前备货，一定程度上提振了纯碱 需求，但这些订单带来的提振效应将逐渐消退。另外，下游加工制造业的整体利润率偏低也是一个不容忽视的因素。当企业 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - During the National Day holiday, the actual demand for steel continued to be weak, but with the macro - environment turning more accommodative, market expectations for the recovery of steel demand are rising. In the short term, the pattern of weak reality is hard to reverse, and as the Fourth Plenary Session approaches, the market may enter a stage of "strong expectation, weak reality" again. Steel prices still face some downward risks from the fundamental perspective, and policy signals and the dynamics related to the Fourth Plenary Session need to be closely monitored [2]. - For the black sector, in the current demand and supply environment, prices may first decline to release the bearish sentiment in the market, and then rise with the expectations of the "Fourth Plenary Session". Although the current profit rate of steel mills is better than in 2023, the black sector may gradually become more cost - effective for long - positions in the future, and it may be better to look for long - entry opportunities after price corrections around mid - October [8]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Market Information - On September 30, the closing price of the rebar main contract was 3072 yuan/ton, down 25 yuan/ton (- 0.80%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts were 285,846 tons, a daily increase of 15,608 tons. The main contract's open interest was 1.873832 million lots, a daily decrease of 52,807 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated rebar price in Tianjin was 3200 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan/ton, and in Shanghai was 3230 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton [1]. - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3253 yuan/ton, down 36 yuan/ton (- 1.09%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts were 28,314 tons, with no daily change. The main contract's open interest was 1.349868 million lots, a daily decrease of 34,602 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated hot - rolled coil price in Lecong was 3310 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton, and in Shanghai was 3330 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan/ton [1]. Strategy Viewpoints - During the National Day holiday, steel demand was significantly weaker than last year. For rebar, terminal demand hit a new low, inventory continued to accumulate, and the inventory - to - sales ratio rose significantly. For hot - rolled coils, production decreased slightly, but apparent demand declined more significantly, and inventory increased notably. The post - holiday demand recovery needs to be monitored [2]. Iron Ore Market Information - On September 30, the iron ore main contract (I2601) closed at 780.50 yuan/ton, with a change of - 0.45% (- 3.50), and the open interest changed by - 26,627 lots to 447,400 lots. The weighted open interest of iron ore was 746,300 lots. The spot price of PB fines at Qingdao Port was 779 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 47.43 yuan/ton and a basis ratio of 5.73%. During the National Day holiday, the TSI iron ore continuous contract closed at 104.15 US dollars/ton, up 1.46% from before the holiday [4]. Strategy Viewpoints - During the holiday, steel mill production remained stable, and overseas ore shipments were on a steady pace. In terms of supply, the end - of - third - quarter shipment rush by mines ended, and the latest overseas iron ore shipments remained high but decreased month - on - month. In terms of demand, the average daily pig iron output announced before the holiday was 2.4181 million tons, a decrease of 0.055 million tons month - on - month. If the situation of finished products weakens after the holiday, iron ore prices may adjust downward [5]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Information - On September 30, the manganese silicon main contract (SM601) closed down 1.07% at 5758 yuan/ton. The spot price of 6517 manganese silicon in Tianjin was 5700 yuan/ton, equivalent to 5890 yuan/ton on the futures basis, down 100 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a premium of 132 yuan/ton over the futures. The ferrosilicon main contract (SF511) closed down 2.07% at 5494 yuan/ton. The spot price of 72 ferrosilicon in Tianjin was 5700 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a premium of 206 yuan/ton over the futures [7]. Strategy Viewpoints - Affected by short - term realistic demand, the black sector has a downward correction risk, especially around the National Day holiday. The high pig iron output above 2.4 million tons puts pressure on prices. The price trend may be similar to that around the National Day holiday in 2023, first falling and then rising with the expectations of the "Fourth Plenary Session". For manganese silicon, its fundamentals are not ideal, but if the black sector strengthens, attention should be paid to potential disturbances in the manganese ore segment. Ferrosilicon is likely to follow the black sector's trend, with relatively low trading cost - effectiveness [8][9]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Information - On September 30, the industrial silicon futures main contract (SI2511) closed at 8640 yuan/ton, up 0.35% (+ 30). The weighted contract's open interest changed by - 42,731 lots to 399,733 lots. The spot price of 553 non - oxygenated industrial silicon in East China was 9300 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, with a basis of 660 yuan/ton for the main contract; the price of 421 was 9700 yuan/ton, unchanged, with a basis of 260 yuan/ton [11]. - The polysilicon futures main contract (PS2511) closed at 51,360 yuan/ton, up 0.16% (+ 80). The weighted contract's open interest changed by - 2957 lots to 226,349 lots. The average spot price of N - type granular silicon was 50.5 yuan/kg, unchanged; the average price of N - type dense material was 51.05 yuan/kg, unchanged; the average price of N - type re - feeding material was 52.55 yuan/kg, unchanged, with a basis of 1190 yuan/ton for the main contract [14]. Strategy Viewpoints - For industrial silicon, its supply and demand have not changed significantly. Although there is an expectation of production cuts during the dry season, the start - up rate of large northwest plants has not yet peaked, and downstream demand has limited upward space. If production cuts occur in the southwest during the dry season and downstream demand remains stable, the high - level inventory may be reduced, and the valuation of far - month contracts may increase. For polysilicon, the current market lacks upward drivers, and there is a risk of short - term price decline. Attention should be paid to the maintenance of leading enterprises and policy changes [12][15]. Glass and Soda Ash Market Information - On the Tuesday before the holiday at 15:00, the glass main contract closed at 1210 yuan/ton, down 1.47% (- 18). The price of large - size glass in North China was 1230 yuan, up 10 yuan from the previous day; the price in Central China was 1220 yuan, unchanged. The weekly inventory of float glass sample enterprises was 59.355 million cases, down 1.553 million cases (- 2.55%) [17]. - The soda ash main contract closed at 1255 yuan/ton, down 1.80% (- 23). The price of heavy soda ash in Shahe was 1165 yuan, down 23 yuan from the previous day. The weekly inventory of soda ash sample enterprises was 1.6515 million tons, down 0.1041 million tons (- 2.55%), including 0.9224 million tons of heavy - soda ash inventory, down 0.0837 million tons, and 0.7291 million tons of light - soda ash inventory, down 0.0204 million tons [19]. Strategy Viewpoints - The glass futures market showed a wide - range shock pattern before the holiday. Terminal demand was weak, and downstream procurement was cautious. Supply was relatively abundant, and inventory performance varied by region. It is recommended to pay attention to policy trends and take a slightly bullish view in the short term. The domestic soda ash market was generally stable with minor fluctuations. Production was stable, and demand was flat. The market is expected to continue the shock - consolidation pattern in the short term [18][20].
