Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overseas, Fed officials signaled a hawkish stance, the dollar index rose and then fell, and global risk appetite increased. Domestically, economic data in August was lower than previous values and market expectations, with domestic demand continuing to slow down. However, domestic risk appetite increased overall, and the short - term upward macro - driving force strengthened. The market is focusing on domestic incremental stimulus policies, and future attention should be paid to Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policy implementation [2]. - Different asset classes have different trends: the stock index is expected to be volatile in the short term, with a suggestion of cautious short - term long positions; treasury bonds are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; in the commodity sector, black commodities are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; non - ferrous metals are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious short - term long positions; energy and chemical products are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; precious metals are expected to be strongly volatile at a high level, with a suggestion of cautious long positions [2]. Summary by Directory Macro - finance - **Macro situation**: Overseas, Fed officials' hawkish signals led to the dollar index rising and then falling, and global risk appetite increasing. Domestically, economic data such as consumption, investment, and industrial added value in August were lower than previous values and market expectations, with domestic demand continuing to slow down. The central bank adheres to its own - centered monetary policy, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange aims to attract long - term funds into the market. The short - term upward macro - driving force has strengthened, and future attention should be paid to Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policy implementation [2]. - **Asset trends**: The stock index is expected to be volatile in the short term, with a suggestion of cautious short - term long positions; treasury bonds are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; black commodities are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; non - ferrous metals are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious short - term long positions; energy and chemical products are expected to be volatile, with a suggestion of cautious observation; precious metals are expected to be strongly volatile at a high level, with a suggestion of cautious long positions [2]. Stock Index - The domestic stock market rose slightly driven by sectors such as precious metals, consumer electronics, and semiconductors. The economic data in August was lower than previous values and market expectations, with domestic demand continuing to slow down. The short - term upward macro - driving force has strengthened, and future attention should be paid to Sino - US trade negotiations and domestic incremental policy implementation. It is suggested to be cautiously long in the short term [3]. Black Metals - **Steel**: The domestic steel spot and futures markets continued to rebound slightly on Monday, with low trading volume. The visit of a US congressional delegation signaled a relaxation of Sino - US relations. The "Steel Industry Stable Growth Work Plan (2025 - 2026)" proposed to continue production control, and there were rumors of production restrictions in Tangshan. Demand improved slightly but varied by variety. The steel market is likely to be range - bound in the short term [4]. - **Iron ore**: The spot and futures prices of iron ore continued to rebound on Monday. Steel mills' restocking continued before the National Day holiday, and steel production enthusiasm was high. The global iron ore shipment volume decreased, while the arrival volume increased. The iron ore price should be treated with a range - bound mindset [4][5]. - **Silicon manganese/silicon iron**: The spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese were flat on Monday, and the futures prices rebounded after a significant decline. The manganese ore trading slowed down. The开工 rate of silicon manganese enterprises decreased, and the daily output decreased. The price of silicon iron was supported by factors such as electricity prices, and the production reduction space was limited. The futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese are expected to continue to be range - bound [6]. - **Soda ash**: The main soda ash contract was weak on Monday. Supply decreased slightly due to some device overhauls, but overall supply was still sufficient. Demand was stable week - on - week and improved in the peak season, but the terminal demand support did not change significantly. In the short term, supply and demand will increase, but in the long term, supply - side contradictions will suppress prices [7]. - **Glass**: The main glass contract was weak on Monday. Glass production was stable, and downstream demand improved slightly in the peak season but with limited growth. The overall glass supply was stable, and demand was difficult to increase significantly. The policy sentiment was volatile, and it is expected to be range - bound in the short term [7]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The Fed cut interest rates in September, and the Sino - US - Spanish economic and trade talks had a positive atmosphere. The spot TC of copper concentrate was stable, electrolytic copper production was at a high level, and the impact of recycled copper policy disturbances on production was limited. Future demand may decline marginally, and the upside space is restricted by the US economic slowdown [8]. - **Aluminum**: Aluminum prices fell slightly on Monday. After the Fed's interest - rate cut, non - ferrous metals returned to fundamental trading. The current aluminum fundamentals are weak, with social inventories not decreasing, demand recovering weakly in the peak season, and the spot price lagging behind the futures price [8]. - **Aluminum alloy**: The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and the production cost of recycled aluminum plants is rising. It is currently in the off - season of demand, and manufacturing orders are growing weakly. The price is expected to be range - bound with an upward bias in the short term, but the upside space is limited [9]. - **Tin**: The combined operating rate of Yunnan and Jiangxi remained low but rebounded slightly. It was mainly affected by the overhauls of some smelting enterprises in Yunnan and the tight supply of ore, but the impact is expected to be short - term. Terminal demand is weak, but due to the tightening of supply, inventory decreased significantly. The price is expected to be range - bound in the short term, with support from overhaul and peak - season expectations but limited upside space [9]. - **Lithium carbonate**: The main lithium carbonate 2511 contract fell 0.05% on Monday. The current supply and demand of lithium carbonate are both increasing, with strong peak - season demand, a slight decrease in social inventory, and a transfer of smelter inventory to downstream. The market is expected to be range - bound, and attention should be paid to the upper pressure range [10]. - **Industrial silicon**: The main industrial silicon 2511 contract fell 0.83% on Monday. There is no obvious positive factor, and the market is expected to be range - bound [10]. - **Polysilicon**: The main polysilicon 2511 contract fell 3.63% on Monday. The spot prices of polysilicon, silicon wafers, and battery cells have increased, and there are still strong policy expectations. It is expected to be range - bound at a high level in the short term, and attention should be paid to the support of spot prices [11]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude oil**: The market is weighing the EU's measures against Russian oil supply and the impact of Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy facilities. The next - round EU sanctions may target Asian enterprises, but the impact may be limited without stronger measures from the US and Europe. Ukraine's attacks have partially offset the current negative factors. The short - term oil price will continue to be range - bound with a downward bias [12][13]. - **Asphalt**: As oil prices continue to fall, the upside space for asphalt is limited, and the peak - season demand is passing, with excess pressure remaining. The short - term basis is slightly decreasing, and inventory removal is limited. In the future, as crude oil prices are expected to fall due to OPEC+ production increases, attention should be paid to the extent to which asphalt follows crude oil price movements [13]. - **PX**: The main contract continued to be weakly range - bound following the polyester sector. The previous slight positive factors from low device operating rates and increased overhaul plans have been mostly priced in. The PXN spread has decreased slightly, and PX is still in a tight supply situation. It is expected to be weakly range - bound with some support at the bottom [13]. - **PTA**: There were rumors of joint production cuts by leading PTA factories, but no substantial news was released, and the price fell. Downstream operating rates have decreased, peak - season demand has disappointed, and downstream inventory has increased. However, due to low processing fees, leading devices have increased overhaul plans, providing some support at the previous low. In the short term, with an increase in short positions by funds, the futures price may face downward pressure [14]. - **Ethylene glycol**: Port inventory remained at 46.7 tons with little change, and the expected commissioning of Yulong has strengthened. Downstream demand is weak, and the price is expected to remain low and range - bound. If downstream inventory continues to accumulate, there will be no obvious upward - driving force [14]. - **Short - fiber**: Short - fiber prices slightly decreased following the polyester sector. Terminal orders have increased seasonally but with limited growth. Short - fiber production has rebounded, leading to a limited increase in inventory. The future upward space may be limited, and it is suggested to consider short positions in the medium term [14]. - **Methanol**: Methanol futures were strongly range - bound, and the basis was weak. The domestic and imported supply decreased slightly in the short term, and the restart of port MTO units prevented inventory from rising. However, the supply - excess situation remains, and high inventory suppresses prices. In the long term, the possible reduction of imports in October due to Iranian device overhauls may change the supply - demand situation, and there may be opportunities for long positions [15]. - **PP**: The market quotation of PP decreased. The inventory of polyolefins from two major oil companies increased. Device overhauls led to a short - term decrease in production, and downstream demand improved, with raw material inventory starting to rise. However, due to seasonal production increases and new capacity releases, the supply is still abundant, and the market is expected to be weakly range - bound in the short term. Attention should be paid to the improvement of peak - season demand [15]. - **LLDPE**: The ex - factory prices of LLDPE from two major oil companies were partially adjusted, and the market price decreased. Device restarts increased supply, and the operating rate of the agricultural film industry increased slowly, with orders growing slower than in previous years. However, low inventory and stable oil prices provide some support. The overall supply - demand situation is pessimistic, and the price is expected to be weakly range - bound [16]. - **Urea**: The urea market adjusted downward. The current urea fundamentals show a pattern of strong supply, weak demand, and differentiated inventory. Supply is increasing as previously overhauled devices resume production. Agricultural demand during the autumn fertilizer - stocking period has limited impact, and industrial demand is still at a low level. Enterprise inventory is accumulating, while port inventory is decreasing. The market is under short - term pressure [17]. Agricultural Products - **US soybeans**: The November soybean contract on the CBOT market fell 1.39% overnight. Argentina's temporary cancellation of export taxes on soybeans and other grains dragged down the CBOT corn and soybean futures. However, the downgraded US soybean crop rating provided some support [18]. - **Soybean and rapeseed meal**: The domestic short - term supply - demand surplus situation remains unchanged, with high soybean arrivals, high oil - mill operating rates, and slow inventory digestion. Although the soybean meal market valuation is low, short - term risk appetite is not high, and US soybeans lack clear direction. It is expected that the soybean meal market will stabilize gradually from late September to October, as the overall supply - demand will shrink in the fourth quarter, and the cost support will strengthen. If the USDA adjusts its yield forecast, it may relieve export pressure and increase buying sentiment [19]. - **Oils**: The supply - demand situation of soybean oil remains weak, with limited pre - holiday consumption support and continuous release of supply pressure. The market sentiment is cautious. For rapeseed oil, the Sino - Canadian trade relationship has not improved, and the market sentiment is still cautious. During the seasonal peak - sales period, high inventory is being reduced, and there is a strong willingness to support prices. The domestic palm oil inventory has decreased significantly, and the basis price remains low. The export demand for Malaysian palm oil has improved, providing support for futures prices [20]. - **Corn**: The new - season corn in the Northeast is being harvested smoothly, with good quality and high opening prices that are currently stable. The price of new corn in North China continues to fall but at a slower pace, and the supply of old - season corn is tight with a firm price. The corn price in the sales area is stable, and downstream feed mills have low inventory, providing some support. Traders are not willing to store corn, and there is an expectation of price decline during the peak - listing period from mid - October to November. The futures price has strong support due to a large discount to the spot price [20]. - **Pigs**: The pig price has reached a new low this year, and the breeding profit has further shrunk, with some self - breeding and self - raising farms incurring losses. The supply of pigs in the market is still sufficient, and demand is stable. There is limited support at present. In the short term, attention should be paid to the impact of pork reserve purchases on farmers' price - holding sentiment.
