The forward quotation of manganese ore increased slightly环比, and spot ores were boosted by the trading floor. Manganese ore inventories decreased slightly, and the contradiction was not prominent. Attention should be paid to the impact of external trade frictions [7]. **Ferrosilicon** - The ferrosilicon price mainly oscillated today. On the demand side, pig iron production remained high. Export demand remained at around 30,000 tons, with a marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal increased slightly环比, and secondary demand increased marginally. Overall, demand was acceptable. Ferrosilicon supply remained at a high level, and on - balance - sheet inventories continued to decline. Attention should be paid to the impact of external trade frictions [8].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating weakly [2] - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4] Core Views - The market's weak reality persists, and steel prices are oscillating. The glass and soda ash markets have a strong wait - and - see sentiment, with prices oscillating. The dual - silicon market has high finished product inventories, and alloy prices are oscillating weakly [1][3] Summary by Related Catalogs Glass and Soda Ash Market Analysis - Glass: Yesterday, glass futures oscillated with large intraday fluctuations and active trading. The main 2601 contract fell 0.98% at the close. Spot market quotes were generally stable, but trading sentiment weakened. Domestic strong policy expectations intermittently boosted low - valued commodity prices, disturbing the market. Currently, glass production is generally stable, and overall rigid demand has limited changes. The weak fundamentals still strongly suppress prices, and policy changes and glass supply should be continuously monitored [1] - Soda Ash: Yesterday, soda ash futures oscillated weakly with active trading. The main 2601 contract fell 1.73% at the close, and all contracts declined to varying degrees. In the spot market, some heavy - soda quotes were lowered, and the spot - futures trading situation was good. Domestic strong policy expectations intermittently boosted low - valued commodity prices, disturbing the market. The supply - demand contradiction of soda ash remains, and the subsequent supply pressure will further increase. The spot - futures price premium stimulates spot - futures purchases, strongly suppressing near - term prices. Supply changes and downstream demand should be continuously monitored [1] Strategy - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating weakly [2] Dual - Silicon (Silicomanganese and Ferrosilicon) Market Analysis - Silicomanganese: Since the National Day holiday, the inventory accumulation of steel products, mainly building materials, has exceeded market expectations. Although there was a rebound in the afternoon affected by coking coal, the rebound was still weak. The main contract closed at 5768 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. In the spot market, the silicomanganese market oscillated. After the holiday, the market was stable with a strong wait - and - see sentiment. The price of 6517 in the northern market was 5620 - 5670 yuan/ton, and in the southern market, it was 5650 - 5700 yuan/ton. Overall, silicomanganese production remained high and stable, and downstream demand for silicomanganese was resilient. There was still support for silicomanganese prices after the holiday. In the long term, the supply - demand of the silicomanganese industry is relatively loose, and prices are expected to fluctuate with the sector. Changes in manganese ore cost support and regional policies should be monitored [3] - Ferrosilicon: Yesterday, ferrosilicon futures showed a weak downward trend. The main contract closed at 5472 yuan/ton, down 22 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. In the spot market, market sentiment worsened, and the trading atmosphere needed to be strengthened. The cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon in the main production areas was 5150 - 5200 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was 5800 - 6100 yuan/ton. Overall, ferrosilicon production in September remained high, but with continuous profit compression, pre - holiday sentiment declined, and the improvement in ferrosilicon demand during the traditional peak season was limited. Prices are expected to fluctuate with the sector, and cost support, electricity price changes, and industrial policies should be monitored [3] Strategy - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Glass: Oscillating weakly [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillating weakly [2] - Silicomanganese: Oscillating [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillating [4] 2. Core Views - The market expectation has weakened, and steel prices are oscillating weakly. The supply - demand contradiction in the glass and soda ash markets still exists, and their prices are oscillating weakly. The macro - sentiment for ferrosilicon and silicomanganese has weakened, and their prices are oscillating and consolidating [1][3] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Glass - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the glass futures market oscillated downward with active trading. The main 2601 contract dropped 2.39% at the close. In the spot market, downstream buyers were cautious and mainly replenished stocks before the holiday [1] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The glass supply is generally stable. Consumption is affected by speculative demand and downstream stock replenishment, with limited change in rigid demand. The significant premium in the futures market stimulates spot - futures purchases and reduces factory inventories. The glass futures price is easily influenced by news, but the fundamentals still suppress the price. Attention should be paid to macro - policies and the performance of peak - season demand [1] - **Strategy**: Oscillating weakly [2] Soda Ash - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the soda ash futures market oscillated downward with active trading. The main 2601 contract dropped 2.6% at the close. In the spot market, downstream trading sentiment cooled, and buyers mainly made rigid - demand replenishments before the holiday [1] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The supply - demand contradiction in the soda ash market still exists. With the ignition of Phase II of Yuanxing, the future supply pressure will further increase. Attention should be paid to whether the speculative demand for soda ash weakens, which may intensify the supply - demand contradiction. Currently, the premium in the soda ash futures market suppresses the price. Later, focus on the progress of new - capacity production and inventory changes [1] - **Strategy**: Oscillating weakly [2] Silicomanganese - **Market Analysis**: After various meetings ended, the macro - sentiment declined, and the black - commodity market corrected. The silicomanganese futures continued to oscillate and consolidate. Yesterday, the main silicomanganese futures contract closed at 5,882 yuan/ton, up 12 yuan/ton from the previous day. In the spot market, the silicomanganese market oscillated. Factory operation sentiment was okay, but market trading sentiment was cautious. The price in the northern 6517 market was 5,680 - 5,730 yuan/ton, and in the southern market, it was 5,700 - 5,750 yuan/ton [3] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: This week, the silicomanganese production decreased month - on - month, while the hot - metal production slightly increased. The downstream demand for silicomanganese remained resilient, and the inventory of silicomanganese alloy enterprises increased. In the long run, the supply - demand of silicomanganese is still relatively loose. It is expected that the silicomanganese price will fluctuate with the sector. Later, pay attention to regional policies and electricity - price changes [3] - **Strategy**: Oscillating [4] Ferrosilicon - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the main ferrosilicon futures contract closed at 5,698 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton from the previous day. In the spot market, the sentiment in the ferrosilicon market was average, and the trading atmosphere needed to be strengthened. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon natural lumps in the main production areas was 5,300 - 5,400 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was reported at 5,800 - 6,000 yuan/ton [3] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: This week, the ferrosilicon production remained flat, the demand declined, and the factory inventory decreased month - on - month. Currently, the supply - demand of the ferrosilicon industry is still relatively loose. Without industrial policies, the profit of ferrosilicon is still restricted. It is expected that the ferrosilicon price will fluctuate with the sector. Later, pay attention to regional policies and electricity - price changes [3] - **Strategy**: Oscillating [4]
