Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The ongoing China-US talks have improved market sentiment, leading to a slight rebound in the futures market. However, the traditional off-season for steel has arrived, with weakening demand and abundant raw material supply, suggesting limited fundamental support for the rebound [3]. - The current fundamentals of iron ore are acceptable, but future concerns are emerging. Supply is increasing while demand is expected to decline, which may lead to slower inventory depletion and potential accumulation [19]. - The relaxation of China-US relations has boosted market sentiment, causing coking coal to rebound due to previous overselling. Coke has also followed, but its rebound is weaker due to downstream price cuts. The demand for coking coal and coke has rigid support in the short term [34]. - Short - term market sentiment for ferroalloys has improved, but the long - term trend remains weak due to factors such as steel mill price pressure, cost decline, and the off - season for steel demand. However, the high - inventory issue is gradually weakening, and the supply is at a low level [51]. - The production of soda ash is expected to gradually recover, and the market remains in a long - term oversupply situation. The demand is stable overall, but the photovoltaic sector may return to an oversupply pattern [65]. - The glass market has a nearly 10% decline in cumulative apparent demand. To balance supply and demand in the second half of the year, the daily melting volume needs to decline. The current valuation is low, but the short - term fundamentals and cost support are weak [93]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Price Data**: On June 11, 2025, the closing prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil futures contracts increased slightly compared to the previous day. The basis and spreads of different contracts also showed certain changes [4][8]. - **Market Situation**: The off - season has led to a decline in some steel demand, such as a significant decrease in the outbound volume of building materials in Hangzhou and inventory accumulation in multiple regions for hot - rolled coils. Although steel mills maintain production through product switching, the supply of raw materials is abundant, and the rebound of the futures market lacks strong fundamental support [3]. Iron Ore - **Price Data**: On June 11, 2025, the closing prices of iron ore futures contracts increased compared to the previous day, while the basis decreased. The daily and weekly changes in different contracts varied [20]. - **Fundamental Data**: Global iron ore shipments have increased significantly, and the demand is expected to decline. The production of five major steel products has not decreased significantly, but the demand has a seasonal decline, increasing the inventory depletion pressure [19][28]. Coking Coal and Coke - **Price Data**: On June 11, 2025, the coking coal and coke futures prices, basis, and spreads showed different degrees of changes. The coking coal prices rebounded more strongly, and the coking profit on the futures market shrank [35]. - **Market Situation**: The relaxation of China - US relations has driven the rebound of coking coal and coke. The current basis is in a reasonable range, and the demand for coking coal and coke has rigid support in the short term [34]. Ferroalloys - **Price Data**: On June 11, 2025, the prices of ferrosilicon and ferromanganese spot and futures contracts, as well as their basis and spreads, showed different changes. The cost of ferrosilicon and the prices of raw materials for ferromanganese also changed to some extent [52][53]. - **Market Situation**: Short - term market sentiment has improved, but the long - term trend is still weak.

Core Viewpoint - The domestic soda ash industry has entered a downward cycle since 2025, with prices dropping nearly 200 yuan/ton due to oversupply from capacity expansion and a decline in demand from end-user industries like photovoltaic and real estate [1] Group 1: Supply and Capacity Expansion - The domestic soda ash industry experienced a bull market from 2021 to 2024, with profits peaking at over 1500 yuan/ton in 2021. However, a new capacity expansion cycle began in 2023, leading to a bearish market in 2024 [2] - Effective domestic soda ash capacity increased from 30 million tons to 40 million tons, a growth of over 30%. New capacity additions are expected to continue, with 2.1 million tons planned for the first half of 2025 and additional expansions from various companies [2][3] - The industry is transitioning towards lower-cost production methods, with natural soda ash expected to account for about 50% of total capacity, while ammonia-based production is anticipated to decline below 20% [2] Group 2: Demand and Market Conditions - The soda ash industry is facing significant price pressure due to high supply and stagnant or declining demand. As of early June 2025, total inventory levels exceeded 300,000 tons, contributing to downward price pressure [3] - Demand for soda ash is particularly affected by the glass industry, with a notable decline in daily melting capacity for both float glass and photovoltaic glass since July 2024. This decline is expected to continue, further impacting soda ash demand [4] - The real estate sector remains under pressure, with a 17% decrease in completed housing area from January to April 2025, leading to weak glass demand and increased inventory levels [4] Group 3: Cost and Price Outlook - The soda ash price is expected to continue its downward trend, with support levels projected between 1100 and 1150 yuan/ton. The cost structure is shifting downward due to falling raw material prices, including a nearly 70 yuan/ton drop in raw salt prices since 2025 [5][6] - The production cost of soda ash is anticipated to decrease by 170 to 200 yuan/ton compared to the end of 2024, with potential further declines in raw salt and coal prices [5][6] - The theoretical price floor for soda ash could reach between 950 and 1000 yuan/ton in the medium to long term, indicating a challenging market environment [6] Group 4: Market Strategy - The industry is advised to adopt a bearish outlook, monitoring for opportunities to hedge against price declines. Companies should focus on macroeconomic factors and potential production cuts to identify selling opportunities [7]

The soda ash plant had small fluctuations, with Jiangsu Huachang starting operation and the output gradually increasing. The downstream demand was average, the profit level of some industries was average, and their own inventory was at a high level. The procurement sentiment for soda ash was cautious, and the purchase was mainly based on low - price and on - demand [6] Logic Analysis - Today, macro - level disturbances were greater than industry - level factors, and the market was concerned about the results of further Sino - US negotiations [7] - On the supply side, the old line of Haihua will start operation tomorrow, Shaanxi Xinghua may have maintenance at the end of the month, and Jiangsu Kunshan is expected to have maintenance on the 19th. The daily output of soda ash remains unchanged at 107,000 tons [7] - On the demand side, short - term demand was stable, but there were medium - term concerns. The output of float glass and photovoltaic glass still had room to decline, especially the concern about the cold repair of float glass affected the demand for soda ash [7] - On the cost side, the market began to think that the room for further decline in the raw material side was limited. Ammonium chloride may weaken seasonally, but the losses of ammonia - soda and combined soda processes were not deep enough to stimulate market clearance, and maintenance was only temporary [7] - In terms of time, the rainy season and off - season were approaching, and it was difficult for demand to increase. The natural market clearance of supply depends on profit and cycle [7] Trading Strategies - Unilateral trading: Macro factors were dominant, the game between long and short positions intensified. From a fundamental perspective, the price still had room to decline. Pay attention to short - selling opportunities on rebounds [8] - Arbitrage: Wait and see [9] - Options: Sell out - of - the - money call options [9]
