1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the black building materials industry is "oscillating". Specific varieties are rated as follows: steel, iron ore, scrap steel, coke, glass, manganese silicon, and silicon iron are rated as "oscillating"; coking coal is rated as "oscillating on the strong side"; and soda ash is expected to have a wide - range oscillating operation in the short term with a long - term downward price center [5][7][8][9][11][12][13][16][17][18][19]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "anti - involution" sentiment has cooled down, but the industry's fundamentals continue to support the prices of furnace materials, which in turn support steel prices. The downward pressure before the festival is limited. In the fourth quarter, the macro and policy aspects are expected to provide upward impetus for the prices of the black building materials sector [1][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - **Iron Ore**: The demand for iron ore is at a high level, and the increase in factory inventory reflects pre - festival restocking. After the spot price weakens, port transactions increase, and the fundamentals are healthy. However, the poor demand for building materials during the peak season limits the upward space. It is expected that the price will oscillate in the short term [1][7][8]. - **Scrap Steel**: The fundamentals of scrap steel are marginally weakening, but it is expected that it is difficult to form an independent market, and the price will mainly follow the fluctuations of finished products [1]. 3.2 Carbon Element - **Coke**: Currently, both coke and steel enterprises have certain production profits. Supported by the peak - season restocking demand, the short - term supply and demand are strong. The spot has started a new round of price increases, and the support is relatively strong under the stable rebound of coal prices at the cost end. It is expected that the futures market will remain oscillating in the short term [2]. - **Coking Coal**: Under the current over - speed inspection, coal mine production remains cautious, and the supply recovery is slow. The upward height is limited. At the same time, the restocking demand of the middle and lower reaches before the National Day is good, and the market still has positive expectations for the end - of - month meeting. It is expected that the price will oscillate on the strong side in the short term [2]. 3.3 Alloys - **Manganese Silicon**: The expected downstream procurement demand during the peak season still supports the price of manganese silicon, but the market supply - demand expectation for the future is rather pessimistic. After the peak season, there is still downward space for the price center of manganese silicon. Attention should be paid to the downward range of raw material costs [2]. - **Silicon Iron**: The peak - season expectation and strong cost support the price performance of silicon iron, but the supply - demand relationship of silicon iron tends to be loose, and there is still downward pressure on the price after the peak season [2]. 3.4 Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass**: The actual demand is weak, but there are peak - season and policy expectations. There may still be a wave of oscillations after the middle - stream inventory reduction. In the long - term, market - oriented capacity reduction is still needed. If the price returns to fundamental trading, it is expected to oscillate downward [2][13]. - **Soda Ash**: The pattern of oversupply has not changed. After the downward movement of the futures market, the spot - futures trading volume has increased slightly. It is expected to have a wide - range oscillating operation in the future. In the long - term, the price center will still decline to promote capacity reduction [2][16]. 3.5 Specific Variety Analysis - **Steel**: The spot market transactions are generally weak, and the speculative sentiment is poor. The peak - season demand recovery is limited, and the pre - festival restocking sentiment of the middle and lower reaches has cooled down. The supply is high, and the inventory is at a moderately high level. The fundamentals are contradictory, and the futures market is under pressure. However, the cost end still has certain support, and the downward space is limited [7]. - **Iron Ore**: The spot price has declined, and port transactions have increased. The overall supply is stable, and the short - term demand is still supported. The inventory level is moderate. The high - level demand supports, but the poor demand for building materials during the peak season limits the upward space, and the short - term price is expected to oscillate [7][8]. - **Scrap Steel**: The supply has increased slightly this week, and the demand has decreased slightly. The factory inventory has increased slightly, and the inventory available days have rebounded slightly. The fundamentals are marginally weakening, and the price mainly follows the finished products [9]. - **Coke**: Some coke enterprises have started to raise prices, and the short - term supply and demand are strong. The raw material cost support is strong, but the coking profit is under pressure. The futures market is expected to remain oscillating in the short term [9][11][12]. - **Coking Coal**: The spot price has continued to rebound, and coal mines have many pre - sales orders. The supply recovery is slow, and the restocking demand before the festival is good. The price is expected to oscillate on the strong side in the short term [12]. - **Glass**: The actual demand is weak, and the fundamentals are still weak. The peak - season demand needs to be verified. After the middle - stream inventory reduction, there may be oscillations. In the long - term, it needs market - oriented capacity reduction and is expected to oscillate downward [13]. - **Soda Ash**: The supply is stable at a high level, and the oversupply expectation suppresses the price. The futures market is expected to have a wide - range oscillating operation, and the long - term price center will decline [14][16]. - **Manganese Silicon**: The market is in a wait - and - see mood, and the price is stable. The downstream procurement demand during the peak season supports the price, but the future supply - demand expectation is pessimistic, and there is downward space for the price center after the peak season [17]. - **Silicon Iron**: The peak - season expectation and cost support the price, but the supply - demand relationship tends to be loose, and there is downward pressure on the price after the peak season [18][19].

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]
