1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market cooled yesterday, and the prices of finished steel products declined slightly. The weak demand pattern of finished steel is obvious, the profits of steel mills are gradually shrinking, and the weak characteristics of the market are becoming more prominent. If the subsequent demand cannot be effectively improved, the prices still face the risk of continuous decline. The raw material side is relatively more resilient than the finished steel products. It is recommended to continuously track the progress of terminal demand recovery and the support of the cost side for the prices of finished steel products [3]. - The supply of iron ore is in the traditional shipping off - season of overseas mines, and the pressure is not significant. The profitability of steel mills continues to decline, and the firm raw material prices have a certain impact on steel mill profits. The short - term increase in hot metal may be limited. The overall supply - demand contradiction of iron ore is not prominent for the time being, and the price is expected to fluctuate in the short term [6]. - The prices of ferroalloys have dropped rapidly, and the market is affected by emotions. In the short term, it is not recommended for speculative funds to participate excessively, while hedging funds can seize hedging opportunities according to their own situations. In the long run, prices will move closer to the fundamentals [10]. - The price of industrial silicon is expected to fluctuate, and the short - term operating range is 8300 - 9300 yuan/ton. The price of polysilicon may be adjusted in the short term, with support levels at 47000 and 44000 yuan/ton [15][16]. - Glass is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term, and its valuation should not be overly underestimated. In the long term, it follows macro - sentiment fluctuations. The price of soda ash is expected to fluctuate in the short term, and the price center is expected to gradually rise in the long term, but the upward space is limited [18][19]. 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs Steel - **Price and Position Data**: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3113 yuan/ton, a decrease of 25 yuan/ton (- 0.79%) from the previous trading day. The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3367 yuan/ton, a decrease of 22 yuan/ton (- 0.64%) from the previous trading day. The rebar inventory continued to accumulate, and the demand was still weak. The demand for hot - rolled coils continued to recover, but the inventory had increased for six consecutive weeks [2]. - **Market Situation**: The overall demand for finished steel is weak, the production volume is still at a high level, and the demand - side support is insufficient. The profits of steel mills are gradually shrinking, and the market is showing weak characteristics. If the demand cannot improve, the prices may continue to decline [3]. Iron Ore - **Price and Position Data**: The main contract of iron ore (I2601) closed at 775.50 yuan/ton, with a change of - 0.13% (- 1.00), and the position increased by 1884 hands to 45.47 million hands. The weighted position was 80.06 million hands. The spot price of PB powder at Qingdao Port was 768 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 40.31 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 4.94% [5]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: The overseas iron ore shipping rhythm was stable.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The steel price continues to fluctuate after the macro - sentiment fades, and the glass and soda ash markets fluctuate due to repeated market sentiment. The double - silicon market sentiment cools down, and ferroalloy futures decline slightly [1][3] - For glass, the supply - demand contradiction is large, and it needs low prices and low profits to reduce supply. For soda ash, the supply - demand imbalance will intensify, and it needs to limit capacity release through losses [1] - Both the silicon manganese and silicon iron industries have obvious over - supply, and need to limit production through losses. Their prices are expected to fluctuate with the sector [3] Market Analysis Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass**: The glass futures oscillated weakly yesterday, with the main 2601 contract down 1.76%. Spot trading sentiment is average. Supply is stable in production and sales, but factory inventories are growing. The supply - demand contradiction is large, and short - term premium suppresses prices. Later, attention should be paid to the performance of peak - season demand [1] - **Soda Ash**: The soda ash futures declined yesterday, with the main 2601 contract down 1.8%. Spot prices were adjusted downwards, and downstream buyers purchase at low prices. Supply is increasing as summer maintenance nears the end.

Attention should be paid to the subsequent shipping progress and the impact of safety inspections and environmental protection restrictions. [6] - The prices of ferrous alloys have dropped rapidly. In the short - term, it is not recommended for speculative funds to participate excessively, while hedging funds can seize hedging opportunities. The fundamental problems of over - supply in the manganese - silicon and silicon - iron industries remain. [7][8][9] - Industrial silicon is expected to fluctuate between 8300 - 9300 yuan/ton. Polysilicon continues the pattern of "weak reality, strong expectation" and is expected to have high - volatility.

On the supply side, last week's output growth slowed down. On the demand side, sample steel output remained high, supporting raw material demand. The sharp decline in coking coal futures dragged down the overall black metal, but silicon iron had adjusted earlier. Now the futures price is close to the cost in some production areas, and the high - premium risk has been largely released, so it will mainly fluctuate at the bottom recently [8] - For manganese silicon, on the 26th, both manganese ore and manganese silicon spot prices were stable. On the supply side, the output growth of alloy plants also slowed down last week. On the demand side, the sample apparent demand for rebar increased slightly, not showing a downward trend yet. On the cost side, manganese ore port spot prices were stable, supporting manganese silicon. The sharp decline in coking coal futures on the 26th dragged down the overall black metal, but the high - premium risk of manganese silicon at the current price has been largely released, so it is expected to fluctuate at the bottom [8] - Unilateral: Futures prices are close to the cost in some production areas, and the high - premium risk has been largely released. It will mainly fluctuate at the bottom recently [9] - Arbitrage: Gradually take profit on cash - and - carry arbitrage [9] - Options: Sell straddle option combinations on rallies [9] Important Information - On the 26th, the price of semi - carbonate Mn36.5% at Tianjin Port was 34.5 yuan/ton degree, Gabon lump Mn46% was 39.8 yuan/ton degree, and Australian lump Mn46% was 42 yuan/ton degree [10] - Rwood Resources FZE announced the CIF offer price of Ivorian manganese ore for shipments to China before September 20, 2025, with a typical Mn content of 34 - 35% at 4.3 US dollars/ton degree [10] Group 4: Related Attachments Cost and Profit - For silicon iron, in Qinghai, the production cost was 5457 yuan/ton, with a profit of - 157 yuan/ton; in Gansu, the production cost was 5609 yuan/ton, with a profit of - 309 yuan/ton [20] - For silicon manganese, in Inner Mongolia, the production cost was 5831 yuan/ton, with a profit of - 81 yuan/ton; in Ningxia, the production cost was 5939 yuan/ton, with a profit of - 339 yuan/ton; in Guangxi, the production cost was 6424 yuan/ton, with a profit of - 624 yuan/ton; in Guizhou, the production cost was 6168 yuan/ton, with a profit of - 418 yuan/ton [25] Electricity Price - Ferroalloy electricity prices in different regions: in Gansu, it was 0.4 yuan/kWh today; in Guangxi, 0.515 yuan/kWh; in Guizhou, 0.475 yuan/kWh; in Hunan, 0.5 yuan/kWh; in Inner Mongolia, 0.42 yuan/kWh; in Ningxia, 0.38 yuan/kWh; in Qinghai, 0.375 yuan/kWh; in Shanxi, 0.51 yuan/kWh; in Shaanxi, 0.425 yuan/kWh; in Sichuan, 0.435 yuan/kWh; in Yunnan, 0.37 yuan/kWh [19]
