Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the significant fluctuations in the ferroalloy futures market, particularly focusing on manganese silicon and silicon iron, during the first half of 2024, highlighting the driving factors behind these price movements and the subsequent market corrections. Group 1: Price Movements - Manganese silicon prices surged from a low of 6108 CNY/ton to a high of 9786 CNY/ton, marking a two-year peak due to supply disruptions caused by a cyclone affecting South32's operations [2] - Silicon iron prices increased from a minimum of 6402 CNY/ton to 8234 CNY/ton, with a significant daily limit increase at the end of May [3] Group 2: Driving Factors - Supply shock from South32's disruption led to panic in the market, prompting smelters to stockpile, which created a positive feedback loop of rising costs and prices [4] - The release of the "2024-2025 Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Action Plan" in late May triggered market speculation reminiscent of the 2021 "dual control of energy consumption" policy, further boosting market sentiment [6] Group 3: Market Characteristics - Trading volumes for manganese silicon and silicon iron futures reached record highs, with 3.16 million and 2.27 million contracts traded in a single day, respectively, indicating significant market activity [12] - The futures market exhibited a premium over the spot market, encouraging alloy producers to increase output, resulting in a 15% month-on-month rise in manganese silicon production from April to May [13] - Despite the price increases, the actual manganese ore supply gap was limited, with only a 10% shortfall in total imports, indicating that the price surge was driven more by market sentiment than by fundamental supply-demand dynamics [14] Group 4: Market Correction - In June, regulatory measures such as position limits and increased transaction fees were introduced to curb excessive speculation [16] - The supply of manganese ore improved with increased arrivals from South Africa and Gabon, leading to a rise in port inventories to 6.5 million tons, a 20% year-on-year increase [17] - Demand weakened as steel mills reduced production due to losses, causing manganese silicon prices to decline sharply from their late May highs back to around 5900 CNY/ton by September [19]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - Steel: Bullish operation [1] - Iron Ore: High-level oscillation [1] - Coking Coal: Oscillating upward [1] - Coke: Oscillating upward [1] - Manganese Silicon: Oscillation [1] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillation [3] Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Steel: The rebar futures closed lower, with spot prices down and trading volume dropping. Rebar production declined slightly, inventory decreased again, and apparent demand rebounded. Policy news boosted market sentiment, but actual supply and demand weakened. The short-term rebar futures are expected to enter a sideways consolidation phase [1]. - Iron Ore: The main iron ore futures contract decreased. Australian shipments fell, Brazilian shipments rose, and non-mainstream country shipments increased significantly. Iron ore inventory at 47 ports continued to decline. High hot metal production supported prices. Affected by macro sentiment, iron ore prices are expected to oscillate at high levels in the short term [1]. - Coking Coal: The coking coal futures rose. Spot prices increased, and market trading was active. A notice on promoting stable coal supply was confirmed. High blast furnace utilization in steel mills improved coke demand, and the second round of coke price increases was implemented. Coking coal is expected to oscillate upward in the short term [1]. - Coke: The coke futures rose. After two rounds of price increases, coke producers' profits improved, but rising coking coal costs led to a decline in profits, and some producers continued to limit production. Steel mills' high utilization rate increased coke consumption, and their restocking willingness was strong. Coke is expected to oscillate upward in the short term [1]. - Manganese Silicon: The manganese silicon futures fluctuated widely. Market sentiment cooled slightly, and the black sector showed mixed performance. Supply is expected to gradually increase, while demand hit a five-year low. Cost support strengthened. The focus is on macro and policy implementation, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term [1][3]. - Ferrosilicon: The ferrosilicon futures oscillated higher. The black sector showed some divergence, and the expected adjustment of electricity prices in major production areas drove up prices. Supply is expected to increase, while demand hit a multi-year low. The main driving force of the fundamentals lies in the expected change in costs. The short-term increase is expected to gradually slow down [3]. Group 3: Summary of Daily Data Monitoring - Contract Spreads: For different varieties, the contract spreads between different months showed various changes, such as the 10 - 1 month spread of rebar being -50.0 with a 10.0 increase [4]. - Basis: The basis of each variety also changed. For example, the basis of the 10 - contract of rebar was 106.0 with a 43.0 increase [4]. - Spot Prices: Spot prices of different varieties and in different regions had different changes, like the Shanghai spot price of rebar increasing by 10.0 to 3380.0 [4]. - Profits and Spreads: The report also provided data on profits and spreads, such as the rebar's futures profit being 37.4 with a -19.9 decrease [4]. Group 4: Summary of Chart Analysis - Main Contract Prices: The report presented the closing prices of main contracts of various black commodities from 2020 to 2025, including rebar, hot - rolled coil, iron ore, etc. [6][7][9] - Main Contract Basis: It showed the basis of main contracts of different commodities over different time periods, such as the basis of rebar and hot - rolled coil [17] - Inter - period Contract Spreads: The spreads between different contracts of each commodity were presented, like the 10 - 01 and 01 - 05 spreads of rebar [25] - Inter - commodity Contract Spreads: The report included spreads between different commodities, such as the spread between hot - rolled coil and rebar, and the ratio between rebar and iron ore [40] - Rebar Profits: Data on rebar's futures profit, long - process profit, and short - process profit were shown [45] Group 5: Introduction of the Black Research Team - The team includes members such as Qiu Yuecheng, Zhang Xiaojin, Liu Xi, and Zhang Chunjie, each with rich experience and professional qualifications in the black commodity research field [52][53]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market is favorable, but the prices of finished products have slightly declined. In the short term, with the stimulation of eliminating excess production capacity on the supply side and the support of large - scale infrastructure on the demand side, and the current low inventory level, the futures market is expected to continue to strengthen. The significant increase in coal prices also provides good support for the prices of finished products. The market still needs to pay attention to policy signals, especially the policy trends of the Politburo meeting at the end of July, as well as the actual repair rhythm of terminal demand and the support of the cost side for the prices of finished products [3]. - For manganese silicon and ferrosilicon, the fundamental direction is still downward, with excess industrial pattern, marginal weakening of future demand, and potential downward adjustment of manganese ore and electricity prices. In the short term, the bullish sentiment of commodities dominates the price fluctuations of the futures market. It is recommended to rationally treat the current market in the speculative aspect and pay attention to price - fluctuation risks. The industrial side can consider hedging operations [10]. - For industrial silicon, it still faces problems of oversupply and insufficient effective demand. In the short term, the bullish sentiment of commodities dominates the price fluctuations. It is recommended that the speculative side rationally treat the current market, and the industrial side can carry out hedging operations [15]. - For glass, in the short term, it is boosted by macro - policies, and with continuous inventory reduction, the price is expected to fluctuate strongly. In the long term, if there are substantial policies in the real estate sector, the futures price may continue to rise; otherwise, supply - side contraction is needed for significant price increases [17]. - For soda ash, in the short term, driven by market sentiment and the rising coal - chemical sector, the price is expected to fluctuate strongly, but in the medium - to - long term, the supply - demand contradiction still exists, and the upward space is limited [18]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Price and Inventory**: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3274 yuan/ton, down 33 yuan/ton (- 0.99%) from the previous trading day, with 86534 tons of registered warehouse receipts (no change from the previous day) and a position of 1.922698 million lots, down 101,809 lots.
