The nickel ore supply in Indonesia was tight, and the price of Philippine nickel ore rose. The nickel market had both bullish and bearish factors, and nickel prices may oscillate [22]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The lithium ore price showed signs of stopping falling. The weekly output of lithium carbonate increased, and the inventory also increased. The lithium market is still in a weak situation [23][24]. Black Metals - **Iron Ore**: The demand for iron ore was supported by the strong production momentum of steel mills. The global iron ore shipment decreased recently, and the port inventory decreased rapidly. Iron ore prices may be supported in the short - term and weaken in the later period [25]. - **Steel**: The supply pressure of steel gradually emerged, and the inventory continued to decrease. The steel export was affected by tariffs and anti - dumping, and the demand for both building materials and plates may weaken in the later period. The steel market may be in a weak and oscillating state [26]. Agricultural Products - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: Soybean and rapeseed meal futures rose at night. The U.S. soybean growth data was mixed, and the domestic oil - mill operation rate increased, which may lead to an increase in soybean meal inventory [27]. - **Oils and Fats**: Palm oil futures were strongly oscillating at night, while soybean and rapeseed oil futures fell slightly. The Malaysian palm oil inventory, production, and export data showed different trends, and the oils and fats may continue to oscillate [28]. Shipping Index - **Container Shipping to Europe**: The EC index oscillated, and the 08 contract rose 0.11%. The market's pessimistic expectation about the peak season of European routes was repaired, and the freight rate may be stable in the later period.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Glass and soda ash markets are expected to oscillate, and the double - silicon market will also experience low - level oscillations [1][2][4] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Glass - **Market Analysis**: The glass futures market oscillated yesterday. Spot market transactions were mainly for rigid demand, and trading sentiment cooled. This week, the average market price of float glass was 1,174 yuan/ton, a decrease of 3.27 yuan/ton from the previous period. The enterprise start - up rate was 75.43%, a month - on - month increase of 0.29%, and the manufacturer's inventory was 69.085 million heavy boxes, a month - on - month decrease of 131,000 heavy boxes [1] - **Supply and Demand Logic**: The production capacity of previously ignited production lines was gradually released, and supply increased month - on - month. Entering the off - season, demand was expected to weaken further, and real - estate transactions remained sluggish, leading to continued low glass consumption. Inventory remained at a high level, and the market tried to clear glass production capacity through price cuts, but there was no actual supply contraction [1] - **Strategy**: The glass market is expected to oscillate [3] Soda Ash - **Market Analysis**: The soda ash futures market oscillated downward yesterday. In the spot market, downstream sentiment was cautious, and purchases were mainly for rigid demand replenishment. This week, the soda ash capacity utilization rate was 81.32%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.89%; the output was 709,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 7,700 tons; and the inventory was 1.8095 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 2.41% [2] - **Supply and Demand Logic**: There were both resumptions and overhauls in the soda ash production, but the overhaul volume was higher than the resumption volume, resulting in a month - on - month decline in output. Demand lacked an increase and faced the expectation of a contraction in float glass supply. In the off - season, the demand for heavy soda ash was expected to weaken further. In the long run, oversupply would keep prices low [2] - **Strategy**: The soda ash market is expected to oscillate [3] Double - Silicon (Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron) Silicon Manganese - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the silicon manganese futures market oscillated under the influence of market sentiment. The main contract of manganese silicon futures rose 18 yuan/ton compared with the previous trading day, closing at 5,712 yuan/ton. In the spot market, the silicon manganese market oscillated. The price of the ore end remained firm, and the production enthusiasm of factories was not high. The price in the northern market of 6517 was 5,480 - 5,530 yuan/ton, and in the southern market, it was 5,500 - 5,550 yuan/ton. Silicon manganese production increased from a low level, pig iron production increased slightly, and silicon manganese demand increased slightly. The inventory of silicon manganese manufacturers and registered warehouse receipts were at medium - to - high levels, suppressing the price of silicon manganese. The port inventory of manganese ore decreased slightly [4] - **Strategy**: The silicon manganese market is expected to oscillate [5] Silicon Iron - **Market Analysis**: Yesterday, the main contract of silicon iron futures closed at 5,390 yuan/ton, a rise of 22 yuan/ton compared with the previous trading day. In the spot market, the silicon iron market was relatively stable, with prices fluctuating slightly. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron natural blocks in the main production areas was 5,050 - 5,150 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron was reported at 5,600 - 5,750 yuan/ton. Currently, silicon iron production increased month - on - month, demand increased slightly, and factory inventory was at a high level. Entering the consumption off - season, the consumption intensity of silicon iron would be tested. Silicon iron production capacity was relatively loose, and in the short term, prices were dragged down by costs, but the overall replenishment of silicon iron was in a healthy state [4] - **Strategy**: The silicon iron market is expected to oscillate [5]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market rebounded yesterday, with the prices of finished steel products showing a volatile and upward trend. The "anti - involution and capacity reduction" proposal and the expected production restrictions in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region have pushed up the prices of steel products. However, the actual implementation of these policies needs further verification. The static fundamentals of steel have no obvious contradictions, and future attention should be paid to policy trends, terminal demand recovery, and cost support [3]. - The price of iron ore is in a wide - range volatile state in the short term. The supply of iron ore has decreased, and the demand has also declined due to factors such as seasonal maintenance of blast furnaces and production cuts by some steel mills. The impact of macro - expectations on the market has increased, and attention should be paid to the interference of production restrictions in Tangshan and the reduction of pellet production expectations by Vale [6]. - For manganese silicon and silicon iron, the prices are expected to maintain a volatile or slightly rebound state in the short term. The market is optimistic about the "capacity reduction" policy, but there are still uncertainties. Enterprises with hedging profit margins are recommended to conduct appropriate hedging operations [9][10]. - The price of industrial silicon is still in a downward trend. The market is optimistic about the "capacity reduction" policy, but the comparison with the 2015 supply - side reform is questionable. Short - term speculative short positions are recommended to wait and see [12][13]. - For glass, the policy expectation has a strong impact on the price, and short positions are recommended to avoid and wait. For soda ash, the supply is still abundant, and the inventory pressure is large. It is expected to rebound following glass, but the sustainability of the rebound is limited [15][17]. 3.

Report Overview - The report is the daily journal of Goldtrust Futures, dated July 4, 2025, analyzing multiple futures products including glass, stock index, gold, iron ore, soybean oil, etc. [1] Core Views - Glass futures prices rose on July 3, 2025. The key drivers are the production cut expectations of leading domestic photovoltaic glass enterprises starting from July, with a planned 30% collective reduction, expected to reduce the July supply to about 45GW. Also, policy factors and market sentiment contributed to the price increase [3][4]. - For stock index futures, the market sentiment is continuously easing. The market is expected to continue to oscillate upward [8]. - Gold futures are expected to rise in the long - term. Although there is an adjustment due to the Fed's decision not to cut interest rates, it is likely to restart the upward trend after adjusting to an important support level [12][13]. - Iron ore futures face an over - valuation risk due to the increase in supply, seasonal decline in molten iron production, and the resumption of inventory accumulation at ports. A wide - range oscillation approach is recommended [17]. - Glass futures still await the effect of real estate stimulus or major policy announcements. A short - term oscillatory and bullish approach is recommended [20]. - Soybean oil futures are expected to oscillate or be bullish in the short - term due to the long - term expectations of US biodiesel policy and the uncertain Middle - East situation. However, a short - selling strategy is recommended when the price reaches the previous high pressure zone of 8050 - 8000 [23]. Product - Specific Summaries Glass Futures - Price trend: Continued to rise to a new high on July 3, 2025 [3]. - Drivers: Production cut expectations of leading photovoltaic glass enterprises, policy support, market sentiment, and cost support [4][5]. - Outlook: Still await real estate stimulus or major policies.

Summary of Glass Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - **Industry**: Photovoltaic Glass Industry - **Current State**: The photovoltaic glass industry is experiencing widespread losses due to declining demand and increased production capacity, leading to low prices. The full cost for leading companies is approximately 12.5-13 RMB/square meter, while for second and third-tier companies, it is around 14-15 RMB/square meter. The entire industry is essentially in a loss-making state, necessitating attention to cost control and price trends [1][2][3]. Key Points - **Production Cuts by Leading Companies**: To address supply-demand imbalances, leading companies such as Ningxia Jinxinyi, Yangbanzhen, and Yixing have halted or reduced production on some lines, with a total reduction of nearly 10%. However, achieving a further 30% reduction is challenging, and the impact of these measures on market supply and demand is a point of concern [1][3][5]. - **Cold Repairs and New Capacity**: In 2024, several production lines underwent cold repairs, and in 2025, eight new furnaces were ignited, adding approximately 8,000-9,000 tons of new capacity. The total capacity is close to 130,000 tons, with actual operating capacity around 90,000 tons. There is significant inventory pressure, and the release of new capacity could impact prices [1][6]. - **Potential for Building Glass Resumption**: If profitability recovers to above 12.5 RMB/square meter, leading and well-managed companies may resume production, with a potential resumption rate of up to 50%. However, the likelihood of small furnaces (below 800 tons) resuming production is low, and price recovery will influence companies' willingness to restart operations [1][7]. - **Elimination of Outdated Capacity**: The industry faces internal competition that necessitates the elimination of outdated and high-energy-consuming capacities. Current standards are difficult to enforce, and policies may selectively eliminate certain capacities through organizational reviews, but comprehensive elimination remains challenging [1][10]. Additional Insights - **Current Profitability**: The profitability of the photovoltaic glass industry is poor, with leading companies facing losses of about 10% at current prices, while second and third-tier companies experience losses between 15% and 20%. Despite some cost reductions, the full costs remain high, leading to overall industry losses [2][4]. - **Demand Decline in Float Glass**: In Q2 2025, demand for float glass decreased by over 10% year-on-year, particularly in the real estate sector, which saw a drop from 70% to below 60% of total usage. Although there are minor increases in sectors like automotive and home appliances, their overall impact on demand is limited [4][18]. - **Future Price Trends**: Short-term prospects for a rebound in photovoltaic glass prices are low, as market demand has not significantly improved, and supply reduction potential is limited. A new demand growth point is necessary for significant price recovery [13]. - **Cost Control in Transitioning Companies**: Companies transitioning from float glass to photovoltaic glass, such as Qibin, have managed cost control effectively, with costs comparable to leading firms. New technologies have also enabled significant energy savings [14][15]. - **Natural Gas Price Stability**: Natural gas prices have remained relatively stable and slightly decreased this year, contributing to the overall cost structure of glass production [17]. - **Policy Developments**: The government is considering adjustments to policies regarding furnace conditions, quality, and environmental standards to facilitate the elimination of outdated capacities [11][24]. This summary encapsulates the critical aspects of the glass industry conference call, highlighting the current challenges, production dynamics, and potential future developments within the photovoltaic glass sector.
