Core Views - The macro - favorable policies such as the Fed's interest rate cut and Sino - US initial meeting have landed, and the prices of black metals are returning to fundamentals. The supply - demand situation of various commodities is complex, affected by factors such as production, demand, policies, and international situations [2][3]. - The stock index futures market has short - term fluctuations but a medium - term upward trend, while the treasury bond market shows a slight rebound. Gold and silver prices are affected by factors such as interest rate policies, geopolitical risks, and central bank purchases [3]. - In the agricultural and forestry products market, the supply and demand of logs, pulp, and other products are changing, and the prices show different trends. The oils and fats and meal markets are affected by factors such as international trade and weather [6][7]. - The live pig market is affected by factors such as weight, demand, and price differentials, showing a shock - strong trend. The rubber and polyester product markets are also affected by multiple factors such as raw material supply, demand, and cost [7][9]. Summary by Related Catalogs Black Metals - **Iron Ore**: Supply is expected to increase as Rio Tinto and VALE may increase production to meet annual targets. The supply - demand pattern is "supply is loose, demand is low, and port inventory is accumulating". The core of the decline in hot metal is the weak demand in the steel industry, especially in the real estate sector. The new construction of real estate has dropped to the 2005 level. The inventory of imported ore in 45 ports across the country has reached an 8 - month high. Future price changes depend on four main lines: the implementation rhythm of the "anti - involution" policy for coal and coke, the profit and maintenance elasticity of steel mills, the release intensity of terminal demand, and macro - policy signals [2]. - **Coal and Coke**: Driven by multiple news such as the high - quality development of the coal industry in the "14th Five - Year Plan", mine accidents, and production restrictions, the prices have risen. The core contradiction in the market is the extremely low profit level of steel mills. If the finished steel market continues to weaken, the scope of steel mill maintenance may expand, which will put pressure on the raw material end. Coke has started the third round of price increases, and the short - term trend is shock - strong [2]. - **Rebar**: The static valuation is low, and the core of the decline in hot metal is the weak steel demand. The new construction of real estate has dropped to the 2005 level. The supply - demand contradiction of steel still exists, and the price is mainly in shock adjustment. The decline in steel prices can be stopped if the production reduction in the fourth quarter of 2025 reaches more than 5% and the "anti - involution" policy is strongly implemented. The real estate development investment data from January to September decreased by 13.9% year - on - year, and the decline rate increased by 1% compared with January to August. The year - on - year growth rates of infrastructure and manufacturing investment from January to September dropped to 1.1% and 4% respectively [2]. Building Materials - **Glass**: The demand is weak, and the inventory of glass factories is increasing. The contradiction between the mid - stream shipment and the weak downstream demand has led to the failure of the apparent demand to recover. The continuous decline in real estate completion during the peak season has dragged down the demand outlook. To resolve the over - supply contradiction in the entire industry chain, the daily melting volume of glass needs to drop to about 154,000 tons by the end of the year. The short - term price is in low - level shock [2]. Financial Products - **Stock Index Futures/Options**: The previous trading day, the CSI 300 Index fell by 1.47%, the SSE 50 Index fell by 1.15%, the CSI 500 Index fell by 0.74%, and the CSI 1000 Index rose by 0.29%. The market short - term consolidates, and the medium - term trend is upward. It is recommended to hold long positions in stock index futures [3]. - **Treasury Bonds**: The yield of the 10 - year treasury bond has decreased, and the central bank has carried out reverse repurchase operations, resulting in a net investment of funds. The spot interest rate of treasury bonds is consolidating, and the market trend shows a slight rebound. It is recommended to hold long positions in treasury bonds lightly [3]. Precious Metals - **Gold and Silver**: The pricing mechanism of gold is shifting from being centered on real interest rates to being centered on central bank gold purchases. It is affected by factors such as currency attributes, financial attributes,避险 attributes, and commodity attributes. The Fed's interest rate policy and geopolitical risks are short - term disturbing factors. The short - term price of gold is expected to remain in high - level shock [3]. Agricultural and Forestry Products - **Log**: The daily average shipment volume of ports has increased, but the demand may weaken in the future. The import volume in the fourth quarter shows a seasonal increase, and the supply pressure is increasing. The port inventory is expected to change from de - stocking to inventory accumulation. The spot market price is relatively stable, and the price is expected to show a weak shock trend [6]. - **Pulp**: The cost support for pulp prices has weakened, and the demand is poor. The paper industry has low profitability, and paper mills have high inventory pressure and low acceptance of high - price pulp. The price is expected to be in bottom consolidation [6]. - **Double - offset Paper**: The new production capacity in South China has increased, and the supply pressure still exists. The market expectation is cautious, and the price is expected to show a weak shock trend [6]. - **Oils and Fats**: The US government shutdown has led to a lack of official data guidance. The progress of Sino - US trade negotiations is favorable, but the high inventory of palm oil in Malaysia and the possible postponement of Indonesia's B50 biodiesel policy have affected the market. The domestic supply of oils and fats is abundant, and the demand is weak. The overall price is expected to continue range operation [6]. - **Meal**: Affected by the recovery of US soybean exports, the price of US soybeans has risen, which has increased the cost of domestic soybean imports. The planting progress of soybeans in South America is affected by weather, and the domestic supply of meal has increased, but the demand is weak. The price is expected to have a short - term rebound [6][7]. Livestock Products - **Live Pigs**: The average trading weight has increased slightly, and the demand has increased with the decrease in temperature. The price of large pigs is firm, and the price of standard pigs has also risen. The slaughter volume may increase slightly, and the weekly average price of live pigs is expected to rise [7]. Soft Commodities and Polyesters - **Rubber**: The raw material supply in different regions is affected by weather. The demand side has an increase in the capacity utilization rate of tire enterprises. The inventory of natural rubber is decreasing, but the expected increase in future supply will suppress raw material prices, and the price is expected to show a wide - range shock [9]. - **PX, PTA, MEG, PR, PF**: PX is affected by potential supply risks and short - term supply - demand changes. PTA has a marginal improvement in supply - demand but is affected by cost. MEG has high supply and potential over - supply in the future. PR has increased supply pressure, and PF is expected to be weakly sorted [9].

Core Viewpoint - China has suspended the purchase of iron ore from BHP Billiton, marking a significant shift in its long-standing reliance on Australian iron ore, driven by negotiations over pricing and payment terms [2][7][19] Group 1: Pricing Dispute - China proposed a price of $80 per ton for iron ore, which is significantly higher than BHP's production costs of $30 to $40 per ton, indicating a substantial profit margin for BHP [3] - BHP insisted on a price increase of 15% based on post-war reconstruction costs, raising the price to $109.5 per ton, which would result in an additional cost of over $200 billion for China annually given its import volume of 700 million tons [5] - The longstanding pricing mechanism based on the Platts index has been criticized for favoring mining companies, leading to China's demand for a shift to pricing in RMB [5][7] Group 2: Strategic Alliances and Supply Sources - Chinese steel companies have established strategic partnerships with other mining companies like Rio Tinto and Vale, which have already begun using RMB for transactions, reducing reliance on BHP [9] - The Simandou iron ore project in Guinea, with reserves of 4.7 billion tons and a planned annual supply of 120 to 150 million tons, is set to begin shipments to China in November 2025, potentially offsetting the loss from BHP [13] - Domestic iron ore production is increasing, with a target of adding 6.56 million tons by 2025, and a focus on recycling steel, which is expected to reach 250 million tons in 2024 [13][15] Group 3: Market Dynamics and Future Outlook - China's shift towards domestic production and recycling reduces its dependency on Australian iron ore, leading to a more favorable supply-demand balance for China [15] - The Australian government has softened its stance in negotiations, indicating a willingness to cooperate on trade agreements following China's assertive actions [15] - The ongoing transformation in pricing strategies reflects China's growing influence in international trade, as it seeks to establish its own pricing mechanisms in various sectors, including natural gas and agricultural products [19]

Report Information - Report Title: Spiral Ore Industry Chain Monthly Report - Report Date: October 31, 2025 - Author: Wang Nan - Company: AVIC Futures [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - In November, the key agreement between China and the US is expected to continue to boost market sentiment, and the gradual formation of the 15th Five - Year Plan in China enhances the development confidence of the ferrous metal industry. However, after the macro - level benefits are realized, the market may return to the fundamental logic. The steel market still faces high - inventory pressure, and the resolution of the inventory contradiction may depend on production cuts. The iron ore market is expected to be in high - level oscillation, with prices first falling and then rising [83][86]. Summary by Section 1. Market Review - **Steel**: In October, steel prices continued to bottom out. At the end of the month, driven by positive macro - factors such as the expectation of Sino - US talks and the release of the 15th Five - Year Plan, steel prices gradually increased. Spot prices were relatively stable, with limited demand improvement and high inventory pressure in the peak season, and the later rise was mainly driven by macro - factors and cost support. The basis declined [5]. - **Iron Ore**: In October, iron ore prices fluctuated widely, first falling and then rising. Initially, they were dragged down by weak steel demand, concerns about increased arrivals and declining hot - metal production. But in late October, with the improvement of macro - expectations, iron ore prices rebounded and showed a stronger trend. The basis returned to normal [7]. 2. Macroeconomic Analysis - **Overseas**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in October, bringing the federal funds rate target range to 3.75% - 4.00%, and decided to end the balance - sheet reduction from December 1. However, Fed Chair Powell's hawkish speech put pressure on the market, and the probability of a December interest - rate cut dropped to 67.8%. At the beginning of the month, the US federal government shutdown remained unresolved, and Sino - US trade frictions escalated, but then the two sides resumed negotiations, and the market risk appetite improved [10][11][12]. - **Domestic**: In the third quarter, China's GDP grew by 4.8% year - on - year, lower than expected. In September, the manufacturing PMI declined, indicating a weakening of domestic demand. The 15th Five - Year Plan focuses on building a modern industrial system, strengthening scientific and technological self - reliance, and expanding domestic demand, which will have a profound impact on the demand structure of bulk commodities [20][29][30]. 3. Supply - Demand Analysis **Terminal Demand** - **Real Estate**: In September, real estate investment and sales remained weak. Investment, new construction, and completion areas all declined year - on - year, and housing prices continued to fall. The 15th Five - Year Plan aims to promote the high - quality development of the real estate industry, and it is expected that housing prices will stabilize and rebound in the future [37]. - **Infrastructure**: In 2025, the growth rate of infrastructure investment continued to decline. In September, the issuance of new special bonds decreased. The 15th Five - Year Plan emphasizes the construction of a modern industrial system and the improvement of infrastructure [40]. - **Automobile**: In September, China's automobile production and sales reached a record high for the same period. New - energy vehicles were the main driving force for market growth. The joint issuance of the "Automobile Industry Stable Growth Work Plan (2025 - 2026)" by eight departments provided support for the market [43]. - **Excavator**: In September, the production of excavators continued to grow. The domestic and foreign sales of construction machinery products increased year - on - year, benefiting from the equipment replacement cycle, policy support, and improved downstream demand [46]. - **Export**: In September, China's exports increased year - on - year, mainly due to the low - base effect and global demand resilience. However, with the increase in the base in October and the uncertainty of Sino - US tariff policies, export growth may decline. Steel exports still have price advantages but face challenges from trade barriers [47][48]. **Supply - Side** - **Production**: In the first nine months of 2025, China's crude - steel and pig - iron production decreased year - on - year. In October, the blast - furnace and electric - furnace operating rates of steel mills declined, and the production of hot - rolled coils remained at a high level [52][57]. - **Profit**: Recently, the prices of furnace materials have risen, and the profitability of steel mills has declined, but they have not reached the point of active production cuts [53]. - **Inventory**: In October, the steel market was in the peak season, but inventory did not decrease effectively. After the National Day holiday, the rapid resumption of production by steel mills and the slow release of terminal demand led to a rapid increase in the inventory of five major steel products. The inventory of rebar and hot - rolled coils increased, and the inventory pressure needs to be alleviated [63]. - **Apparent Demand**: The apparent demand for rebar weakened, while that for hot - rolled coils still showed resilience [66]. - **Iron Ore Import and Shipment**: In September, China's iron - ore imports increased. In October, the global iron - ore shipment slowed down. The production and sales of the four major iron - ore mines in the third quarter were divergent, and the expected increase in the fourth quarter is limited [69][70]. - **Hot - Metal Production**: Since October, hot - metal production has declined slightly but remains at a high level. Due to the inventory accumulation of downstream steel products, there is an expectation of a further decline in hot - metal production, which may put pressure on iron - ore prices [75]. - **Inventory**: In October, port iron - ore inventory gradually accumulated, while steel - mill inventory decreased after a seasonal increase during the holiday [79]. 4. Future Outlook - **Steel**: In November, the steel market may return to the fundamental logic after the macro - level boost fades. The high - inventory problem needs to be solved, and the resolution may depend on production cuts. The demand for building materials is weak, and it is difficult to improve in the future [83]. - **Iron Ore**: In November, iron - ore prices are expected to oscillate at a high level, first falling and then rising. The market is in a state of weak supply and demand, and the downstream steel - product inventory problem may lead to a decline in hot - metal production, but the iron - ore price decline is limited, and prices may rise with the increase in winter - storage demand [86].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report In November, global iron ore supply and demand will both decline, with a static tight supply - demand situation. The price movement is dynamic. The weak supply - demand pattern in the finished product segment continues, and steel mill profits are compressed. Attention should be paid to the decline in hot metal production in November. If the daily average production remains below 235,000 tons, there may be a negative feedback market. If the hot metal production remains high, ore prices will remain firm [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review In October, the prices of iron ore futures and spot goods fluctuated strongly. As of October 30, the futures price of the main contract increased by 22 yuan/ton month - on - month [3][5]. 3.2 Iron Ore Market Analysis - **Supply Side** - Four major mines are expected to reduce shipments by about 7.6 million tons in November compared to the previous month [6][29][35]. - Global non - mainstream shipments are relatively stable, with an estimated 44.6 million tons in November, a decrease of about 1.75 million tons month - on - month [6][32][35]. - Domestic mine production is expected to be 19.95 million tons in November, a decrease of 650,000 tons month - on - month [6][34][35]. - Overall, global supply will decrease by about 10 million tons in November [6][35]. - **Demand Side** - In October, China's national pig iron production is estimated to be 74.75 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.16%. In November, blast furnace hot metal production is expected to be 71.4 million tons, a decrease of 3.35 million tons month - on - month, resulting in a reduction of 5.88 million tons in iron ore demand [6][17][21]. - Outside China, the daily average pig iron production is stable for now. In November, pig iron production is estimated to decrease by 30,000 tons, resulting in a reduction of about 490,000 tons in the demand for 61% grade iron ore [6][20][21]. - Globally, iron ore demand will decrease by about 6.37 million tons in November [6][21]. 3.3 Steel Mill Profit Blast furnace profits are compressed, and electric furnace losses are expanding. As of the end of October, the blast furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills was 84.71%, a year - on - year increase of 2.57 percentage points; the blast furnace iron - making capacity utilization rate was 89.94%, a year - on - year increase of 1.46 percentage points; the steel mill profitability rate was 47.62%, a year - on - year decrease of 17.32 percentage points; the daily average hot metal production was 239,900 tons, a year - on - year increase of 28,300 tons [8][14]. 3.4 Iron Ore Inventory - Port inventory: At the end of October, the inventory of imported iron ore at 45 ports in China was 145 million tons, an increase of 5 million tons month - on - month, and it is expected to decline slightly in November [36]. - Steel mill inventory: Steel mill inventory is close to the critical value, and there is a certain need for replenishment [38].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core View of the Report The supply - demand pattern of iron ore continues to weaken. Under the disturbance of production restrictions, the terminal demand for ore is declining. With the steel market's industrial contradictions unresolved and seasonal production - restriction disturbances frequent, ore demand is expected to continue to decline, which may drag down the ore price. Although the arrival of ore at domestic ports has dropped significantly due to short - term weather factors, overseas miners' shipments remain high, and subsequent arrivals are expected to recover. Ore supply remains high while demand is weakening, so the fundamentals of the ore are not good, and the high - valued ore price is prone to fall back. Attention should be paid to the performance of steel [2]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Inventory - 45 - port iron ore inventory is 14,542.48, with a week - on - week increase of 118.89, a monthly increase of 564.69, and a year - on - year decrease of 877.50 [1]. - 247 steel mills' imported ore inventory is 8,849.86, with a week - on - week decrease of 229.33, a monthly decrease of 1,186.93, and a year - on - year decrease of 148.04 [1]. Supply - 45 - port iron ore arrival volume is 2,029.10, with a week - on - week decrease of 490.30, a monthly decrease of 331.40, and a year - on - year decrease of 432.80. The significant drop in domestic port arrivals is mainly due to short - term weather factors, and overseas miners' shipments remain high, so subsequent arrivals are expected to recover [1][2]. - Global 19 - port iron ore shipment volume is 3,288.40, with a week - on - week decrease of 45.15, a monthly decrease of 186.99, and a year - on - year increase of 203.20 [1].
