Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The short - term macro environment for steel is positive, with supply contraction expectations, stable cost support, and the steel futures market may show a volatile and upward - biased pattern.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - As the "anti - involution" sentiment cools and the Politburo meeting's impact fades, the market sentiment becomes rational, and the futures prices start to weaken. If the demand cannot be effectively restored, the steel prices may decline, and the futures prices will gradually return to the supply - demand logic [3]. - The overall demand for the black sector is weak. Although the supply pressure is not significant, the demand growth is limited. The market is influenced by short - term sentiment, and prices will eventually move towards the fundamentals [3][6][10]. - For different products, the fundamentals vary. For example, steel products have high inventory and weak demand; the supply of iron ore is in the traditional off - season, and the demand has support; the over - capacity situation of industrial silicon and polycrystalline silicon remains unchanged; glass and soda ash have inventory pressure and weak demand [3][6][11][14][16][18][19]. 3. Summary by Product Steel Products - **Prices and Positions**: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3250 yuan/ton, up 37 yuan/ton (1.151%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts increased by 579 tons, and the position increased by 515 lots. The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3465 yuan/ton, up 37 yuan/ton (1.079%), with a decrease of 1454 tons in registered warehouse receipts and 17218 lots in position [2]. - **Fundamentals**: Rebar showed a pattern of both supply and demand increasing, with social inventory accumulating for two consecutive weeks and the increase accelerating this week. Hot - rolled coils had both supply and demand decreasing, and inventory accumulation was significant. Currently, the inventory of both rebar and hot - rolled coils is rising, but the demand is insufficient [3]. Iron Ore - **Prices and Positions**: The main contract (I2601) of iron ore closed at 789.00 yuan/ton, up 2.00% (+15.50), with an increase of 37210 lots in position to 39.27 million lots. The weighted position was 92.48 million lots. The spot price of PB powder at Qingdao Port was 778 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 37.83 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 4.58% [5]. - **Fundamentals**: The latest shipment and arrival volume of overseas iron ore both decreased. The daily average pig iron output decreased slightly due to blast furnace maintenance. The port inventory fluctuated slightly, and the steel mill's imported ore inventory increased slightly. The overall demand was slightly weak, but there was still demand support [6]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon - **Prices**: On August 11, the main contract of manganese silicon (SM509) rebounded, closing up 0.89% at 6100 yuan/ton. The main contract of ferrosilicon (SF509) closed up 1.00% at 5830 yuan/ton [8]. - **Analysis and Suggestions**: The market is affected by sentiment, and prices fluctuate greatly. It is not recommended for speculative funds to participate excessively in the short term. Hedging funds can seize hedging opportunities according to their own situations. The over - capacity pattern of manganese silicon remains unchanged, and there is a risk of weakening demand in the future [9][10][11]. Industrial Silicon and Polycrystalline Silicon - **Industrial Silicon** - **Prices and Positions**: The main contract (SI2511) of industrial silicon closed at 9000 yuan/ton, up 3.33% (+290), with an increase of 15809 lots in weighted position to 549604 lots. The spot price of 553 in East China increased by 100 yuan/ton, and the basis of the main contract was 200 yuan/ton; the 421 price increased by 50 yuan/ton, and the basis was - 50 yuan/ton [13]. - **Fundamentals**: The problems of over - capacity, high inventory, and insufficient demand remain. The production rate is expected to increase in August, and the demand can provide some support, but new inventory pressure may occur. It is expected that the price will fluctuate weakly [14]. - **Polycrystalline Silicon** - **Prices and Positions**: The main contract (PS2511) of polycrystalline silicon closed at 52985 yuan/ton, up 4.32% (+2195), with a decrease of 23165 lots in weighted position to 337163 lots. The spot price remained flat, and the basis of the main contract was - 5985 yuan/ton [15]. - **Fundamentals**: It is expected to increase production in August, and the downstream silicon wafer production also increases, but the silicon material is likely to accumulate inventory. The price is expected to fluctuate widely, and it is recommended to participate cautiously [16]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass** - **Prices and Inventory**: The spot price in Shahe decreased by 4 yuan, and in Central China by 30 yuan. As of August 7, the total inventory of national float glass sample enterprises was 61.847 million weight - boxes, up 3.95% month - on - month and down 8.18% year - on - year. It is expected to fluctuate in the short term and follow the macro - sentiment in the long term [18]. - **Soda Ash** - **Prices and Inventory**: The spot price was stable, and the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 1.8762 million tons as of August 11, up 0.60% from last Thursday. The supply increased, and the demand was weak. It is expected to fluctuate in the short term, and there are still supply - demand contradictions in the long term [19].

Report's Core View - For ferrosilicon, last week affected by coal over - production verification news, coal and coke strengthened again, driving the black series to stop falling. Ferrosilicon first rose then fell during the week, with its center of gravity continuing to rise. Production increased significantly, demand remained weak in the off - season, and recent macro and coal industry policies dominated the market. It's recommended to take an interval - oscillation approach in the short term, with the lower support around 5500 - 5600 [4]. - For silicomanganese, last week it also showed a firm trend due to coal news. Production continued to rise, demand was weak in the off - season, and recent macro and coal industry policies led the market.

Core Viewpoint - CITIC Futures has implemented a three-step service strategy to revitalize the underlying commodity assets of ferroalloy plants, effectively addressing issues such as limited sales channels, passive pricing, and significant price volatility in traditional ferroalloy enterprises, ensuring that goods are accessible, manageable, and sellable [1][4] Group 1: Customized Three-Step Solution - Zhongwei City is a major silicon iron production base, accounting for over 85% of Ningxia's total output. A key ferroalloy enterprise in the area, despite having sufficient orders, has been operating at a marginal profit due to overall industry downward pressure. CITIC Futures designed a tiered service plan tailored to the enterprise's characteristics [2] - The first phase involved expanding sales channels through futures delivery, allowing the enterprise to recover funds and alleviate account period pressure. CITIC Futures provided comprehensive guidance on the delivery process to ensure the quality of the goods met exchange standards [2] - The second phase introduced basis trading to enhance pricing capabilities, enabling the enterprise to lock in profits when futures prices were high, maintaining stable earnings even during market volatility [2] - The third phase involved innovative rights trading to increase operating profits, where CITIC Futures designed a "cumulative sales" rights trading plan to help the enterprise achieve high-price inventory clearance amid a persistently low silicon iron price forecast for Q4 2024 [2] Group 2: Significant Results of Industry-Finance Integration - CITIC Futures and its subsidiaries effectively addressed enterprise challenges through a combination strategy of "futures delivery + basis pricing + rights trading," enhancing profits and stabilizing operations.
