Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints - The overall fundamental situation of the black building materials market remains weak, and the futures price may gradually return to the real - trading logic. Although the short - term market sentiment has improved, the terminal demand repair rhythm and the cost - side support for the finished product price need to be focused on [3]. - After the "anti - involution" sentiment is released, the market capital divergence increases, and the price is expected to gradually move closer to the real fundamentals. It is not recommended that speculative funds participate excessively, while hedging funds can seize the opportunity according to their own situation [11]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Price and Position**: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3203 yuan/ton, down 2 yuan/ton (- 0.06%) from the previous trading day, with a registered warehouse receipt of 85034 tons and a main contract position of 1.760703 million lots, down 55323 lots. The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3401 yuan/ton, up 11 yuan/ton (0.324%), with a registered warehouse receipt of 57174 tons and a main contract position of 1.45476 million lots, up 20824 lots [2]. - **Market Situation**: The rebar speculative demand decreased significantly with the price decline, resulting in inventory accumulation; the hot - rolled coil demand increased slightly, the output rose rapidly, and the inventory increased slightly. The current inventory levels of rebar and hot - rolled coil are at the lowest in the past five years [3]. Iron Ore - **Price and Position**: The main contract of iron ore (I2509) closed at 783.00 yuan/ton, up 0.51% (+ 4.00), with a position change of - 9550 lots to 410,000 lots. The weighted position was 943,800 lots. The spot price of PB powder at Qingdao Port was 768 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 32.81 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 4.02% [5]. - **Supply and Demand**: The overseas iron ore shipment volume continued to rise, the FMG shipment volume increased significantly, the Brazilian shipment volume decreased slightly, and the non - mainstream country shipment volume dropped to a low level this year. The daily average pig iron output decreased slightly, the port inventory decreased, and the steel mill's imported ore inventory increased slightly [6]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon - **Price and Position**: On August 1st, the main contract of manganese silicon (SM509) closed up 0.27% at 5962 yuan/ton, and the main contract of ferrosilicon (SF509) closed down 0.25% at 5682 yuan/ton [8]. - **Market Situation**: Last week, the prices of both manganese silicon and ferrosilicon fluctuated widely. It is recommended that investment positions be mainly on the sidelines, and hedging positions can participate opportunistically. Fundamentally, both manganese silicon and ferrosilicon are facing the problems of over - capacity, weakening demand, and potential cost reduction [9][10]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - **Price and Position**: The main contract of industrial silicon (SI2509) closed at 8500 yuan/ton, down 2.97% (- 260), with a position change of - 18592 lots to 194340 lots. The main contract of polysilicon (PS2509) closed at 49200 yuan/ton, up 0.14% (+ 70), with a position change of - 16227 lots to 110762 lots [13][14]. - **Market Situation**: Industrial silicon still has problems of over - supply and insufficient effective demand. After the "anti - involution" sentiment fades, the price may weaken. Polysilicon prices are affected by industry capacity integration expectations and enterprise price - holding strategies, and the short - term price may fluctuate widely [13][15]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Price and Inventory**: The spot price of glass in Shahe decreased by 22 yuan to 1245 yuan, and the national floating glass inventory decreased by 3.87% month - on - month. The spot price of soda ash was 1240 yuan, with a slight increase in inventory [17][18]. - **Market Situation**: Glass prices are expected to fluctuate widely in the short term and follow macro - sentiment fluctuations in the long term. Soda ash prices are expected to oscillate in the short term, and there are still supply - demand contradictions in the long term [17][18].

Core Viewpoint - The glass futures market experienced a downward trend this week, with the main contract price dropping by 121 yuan/ton, while the spot market initially rose before stabilizing, resulting in an average weekly price increase of 36 yuan/ton compared to the previous week [2]. Supply Side - The industry saw slight adjustments in operating rates and production due to the ignition of previously idled production lines, with inventory decreasing by 3.87% from last week, indicating ongoing destocking but at a reduced pace [2]. Demand Side - Some manufacturers adjusted their pricing, which provided some market support; however, the enthusiasm for procurement from downstream sectors has waned compared to earlier periods, leading to a slight decline in market transaction focus as the weekend approached [3]. Technical Analysis - The glass 09 contract experienced significant declines, with a weekly closing price down 260 yuan/ton, a decrease of 19.1%, effectively reversing all gains from the previous week. The trading volume saw a substantial reduction, indicating a rapid exit of capital following the price drop, and open interest sharply decreased, reflecting a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market [4]. - The technical indicators show a complete bearish arrangement, with prices consistently breaking through key support levels and operating along the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting a strong downward trend [4]. Market Outlook - On the fundamental side, supply-demand imbalances have been somewhat alleviated, with some manufacturers still planning price increases; however, after a phase of inventory replenishment, companies are primarily focused on digesting existing stock, with market demand driven mainly by essential purchases [4]. - Technically, the market exhibits characteristics of a confirmed bearish trend, with concerns over low demand and high supply potentially exerting long-term pressure. Without clear favorable policies, the market is unlikely to reverse its weak trend, with attention needed on the effectiveness of the 1100 yuan/ton support level [4].

Market Review - Global equity markets experienced a general adjustment, with Hong Kong, France, Germany, and the US stock markets showing significant declines. A-shares, after five consecutive weeks of gains, faced a correction, with major indices generally declining. In terms of sectors, A-share CPO and innovative pharmaceuticals led the gains, while cyclical products like coal and non-ferrous metals saw a pullback. The domestic commodity market cooled down due to risk warnings from the three major futures exchanges and position limits on certain products, leading to sharp declines in previously strong commodities like coking coal, glass, and polysilicon. On the international front, Trump's announcement on July 30 regarding copper tariffs did not impose restrictions on copper raw materials, resulting in a significant drop in COMEX copper prices. In the foreign exchange market, the US dollar index plummeted after the release of non-farm payroll data on Friday, with market expectations for a rate cut in September significantly increasing [1][2][3]. Market Outlook - The report suggests that the current market correction is temporary, and the slow bull market trend remains unchanged. Following the July Politburo meeting and the new round of China-US economic and trade talks, the market's speculation on incremental policies has cooled down, and after five weeks of consecutive gains, the index requires a phase of adjustment. Looking ahead, the expectation of a Federal Reserve rate cut has reignited, and domestic macro and micro liquidity remains relatively ample, which is conducive to the continuation of the slow bull trend in A-shares. Since the "623" market, A-shares have shown clear characteristics of "rotating upward and low-level replenishment," with better sustainability of the profit-making effect. Additionally, the sources of incremental capital in the market are diverse, with increased participation from public and private equity institutions, and the positive feedback effect of "residents allocating funds into the market and the slow rise of the stock market" is expected to strengthen [2][3]. Sector Allocation - The report recommends focusing on the following areas for sector allocation: 1) New technologies and growth directions such as AI computing power, robotics, and solid-state batteries; 2) Reallocation opportunities in dividend sectors after corrections, such as certain undervalued state-owned enterprises. Thematic areas of interest include self-controllable technologies, military industry, low-altitude economy, and marine technology [2][3].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - Glass: Short - term short - chasing should be cautious. The market will gradually turn into a weak shock later, and the medium - term decline is not over. The previous policy proposals and peak - season expectations boosted the rebound, but now weak basis, delivery factors, and high inventory lead to a market decline. With a relatively large basis and excessive premium of the forward 01 contract, short - chasing should be careful [2]. -纯碱: Short - term short - chasing should be cautious, but the downward pressure is not over. In the futures market, the previous crowded shorts led to a short - covering stampede. The increase in the futures market drove spot purchases, reducing inventory and raising prices. The strengthening basis in the short - term decline is not conducive to the futures price, and the delivery pressure on the 08 and 09 contracts is expected to be large. The future trend depends on the basis regression and the supply - side response [3]. Summary by Related Directory Glass Supply - As of July 31, 2025, there were 296 domestic glass production lines (200,000 tons/day) after excluding zombie lines, with 222 in production and 74 cold - repaired and shut down. The daily output of national float glass was 159,600 tons, a 0.38% increase from the 24th. The daily loss of float glass was 40,450 tons, a 1.46% decrease from the previous period, and the weekly loss was 284,950 tons, a 2.43% decrease from the previous period [2]. - In 2025, the total daily melting volume of cold - repaired lines was 11,680 tons/day, the total daily melting volume of ignited lines was 11,510 tons/day, the potential new ignition lines had a total daily melting volume of 14,000 tons/day, the potential old - line复产 had a total daily melting volume of 8,130 tons, and the potential cold - repair lines had a total daily melting volume of 6,900 tons/day [6][7][8][10][12]. - The current in - production capacity is about 159,000 tons/day. Short - term production reduction space is limited, but if demand is poor in the third quarter, there may be a certain - scale production reduction in the fourth quarter [13]. Demand - As of July 31, 2025, the average order days of national deep - processing sample enterprises was 9.55 days, a 2.7% increase from the previous period and a 1.55% decrease from the same period last year. The deep - processing profits are still low, and the increase in the inventory days of reserved raw glass is higher than the increase in orders [2]. Inventory - As of July 31, 2025, the total inventory of national float glass sample enterprises was 59.499 million heavy cases, a decrease of 2.397 million heavy cases from the previous period, a 3.87% decrease from the previous period and a 13.88% decrease from the same period last year. The inventory days were 25.5 days, 1.1 days less than the previous period. The inventory in different regions decreased to varying degrees, but the decline rate slowed down due to the decrease in spot trading [2][35]. Price and Profit - The market price declined slightly this week, while the ex - factory price changed little. The price in Shahe was about 1,260 - 1,310 yuan/ton, in central China's Hubei region it was about 1,200 - 1,300 yuan/ton, and in some large factories in the eastern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions it was about 1,320 - 1,400 yuan/ton [18][22]. - The futures rebounded, the basis strengthened, and the month - spread was still weak. The profit with petroleum coke as fuel was about 137 yuan/ton, and the profits with natural gas and coal as fuel were about - 150 and 138 yuan/ton respectively [24][27]. Photovoltaic Glass Price and Profit - The overall domestic photovoltaic glass market had good transactions, and the inventory continued to decline. The mainstream order price of 2.0mm coated panels was 10 - 11 yuan/square meter, and the mainstream order price of 3.2mm coated was 18 - 19 yuan/square meter, both unchanged from the previous week [44][46]. Capacity and Inventory - Affected by the anti - involution policy, the recent supply decreased, the trading improved, and the inventory declined. As of early August, there were 408 national photovoltaic glass production lines in production, with a total daily melting volume of 89,290 tons/day, a 1.33% decrease from the previous period and an 18.57% decrease from the same period last year. The sample inventory days were about 29.31 days, a 10.06% decrease from the previous period [47][48][52]. Soda Ash Supply and Maintenance - Soda ash enterprises had more device reductions, and the comprehensive supply decreased. The domestic soda ash output this period was 699,800 tons, a 3.32% decrease from the previous period, and the capacity utilization rate was 80.27%, a 2.75% decrease from last week. Some enterprises were under maintenance or had reduced production loads, and there were also some planned maintenance and resumptions in the future [3][56]. - The current capacity utilization rate of soda ash is 80.27%, and the weekly output of heavy soda has reached 398,700 tons/week. In the context of high production and high inventory, either manufacturers need to increase production reduction efforts, or the real - estate industry chain needs to continue to recover to drive the recovery of glass demand and inventory [58][59]. Price and Profit - The nominal prices in Shahe and Hubei were about 1,300 - 1,450 yuan/ton. The manufacturer's price changed little, while the quotes of futures - spot merchants decreased. The basis and month - spread: due to high production and high inventory, the near - month contracts were under pressure, but attention should be paid to the market potentially turning to positive spreads during the peak position - shifting period [69][72][74]. - The joint - soda production profit in East China (excluding Shandong) was 106 yuan/ton, and the ammonia - soda production profit in North China was 57 yuan/ton [77]. Inventory - The inventory of soda ash enterprises was 1.7958 million tons, a 3.69% decrease from the previous period and a 67.08% increase from the same period last year. A large amount of inventory was transferred to the delivery warehouse [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - In the fifth week of July, futures sentiment cooled down, and spot prices mostly had small month - on - month declines, but prices were still higher than at the end of June. Food prices reversed from a decline to an increase. Container shipping prices continued to fall, and port cargo volume decreased month - on - month but remained high year - on - year. In the industrial sector, the incremental measures from the Politburo meeting in July were slightly weaker than expected, causing futures sentiment to cool and investment product prices to decline. In the investment sector, typhoon and rainfall affected construction activities, leading to a continued decline in cement prices. In the real estate sector, the end - of - month sales rush for new homes was evident, while second - hand home sales continued to decline, in line with seasonality [4][34]. - For the bond market, short - term implementation of anti - involution policies, price transmission, and the impact of production control on industrial growth are worthy of attention. "Broad credit" disturbances may increase compared to July. Externally, the results of China - US economic and trade negotiations were in line with expectations, and the market reaction was muted. Export resilience remains, but its elasticity is decreasing, and the weakening of "rush exports" may gradually materialize. Internally, the strong futures market last week driven by major infrastructure projects and "anti - involution" led to spot price increases. This week, futures sentiment cooled, and spot demand weakened due to weather conditions. Although industrial product prices generally corrected, they were still higher than before July. In the future, price increase elasticity may be limited in the short term, but the recovery trend is hard to disprove, which may support equity sentiment. Urban renewal may accelerate, and the implementation of policy - based financial instruments is expected. August is the policy effect verification stage, increasing the importance of data observation [4][35]. Summary by Directory Inflation - related - Food prices reversed from a decline to an increase. The wholesale price index of 200 agricultural products and the wholesale price index of basket products increased by 0.05% and 0.03% month - on - month respectively. The average wholesale price of pork decreased by 0.84% month - on - month, while vegetable prices rose, and the decline in fruit prices narrowed [4][10]. Import - Export related - Container shipping prices continued to decline. The CCFI index decreased by 2.3% month - on - month, and the SCFI decreased by 2.6% month - on - month. From July 21st to July 27th, port container throughput and cargo throughput decreased by 6.5% and 4.3% month - on - month respectively, but increased by 11.5% and 13.3% year - on - year. The BDI index decreased by 3.1% month - on - month, and the CDFI index increased by 0.2% month - on - month [12]. Industrial related - The price of thermal coal continued to rise. The price of thermal coal (Q5500) at Qinhuangdao Port increased by 1.4% month - on - month with a narrowing increase. The price of rebar reversed from an increase to a decrease, with a 0.26% month - on - month decline in spot price. The apparent demand for rebar decreased by 6.1% month - on - month, and the year - on - year decline widened to 5.7%. Copper prices decreased month - on - month, affected by the Fed's cautious attitude towards interest rate cuts and the strengthening of the US dollar. Glass prices also reversed from an increase to a decrease as futures market sentiment cooled [14][18][19]. Investment related - Cement prices continued to weaken, with a 1.40% month - on - month decline in the national cement price index and a narrowing decline. In the real estate sector, from July 25th to July 31st, the transaction area of new homes in 30 cities increased by 25% month - on - month but decreased by 15.4% year - on - year. The transaction area of second - hand homes in 17 cities decreased by 4.6% month - on - month but increased by 5.1% year - on - year [20][29]. Consumption - From July 1st to July 27th, passenger car retail sales decreased by 19% month - on - month compared to the same period in June but increased by 9% year - on - year. From July 21st to July 27th, retail sales decreased by 30% month - on - month and increased by 5% year - on - year. Brent and WTI crude oil prices increased by 1.8% and 3.3% month - on - month respectively, boosted by factors such as a trade agreement between the US and Europe and supply - side constraints [30].
