Report Industry Investment Rating - The report provides a mid - term outlook for each variety, including "oscillating", "oscillating weakly", etc., but does not give a unified industry investment rating [5][6] Core View of the Report - The black market has seen continuous days of increased - position decline, with the spot market cautious and prices dropping. Although domestic demand is seasonally weak and export pessimism has intensified, if exports do not deteriorate significantly, the current industry supply - demand situation does not support a trend - based decline. The market trading logic has shifted to the domestic industry fundamentals, and prices are expected to oscillate within a range [1][2][5] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Overall Situation of the Black Industry - **Supply and Demand**: Domestic demand is seasonally weak, and the "rush for exports" is less than expected. Some blast furnaces are under maintenance, and hot metal production has declined from its peak. However, steel inventory pressure is not large this year compared to last year, and steel mill profits are acceptable. Overseas mine new - capacity increments are not obvious, and port inventories are continuously decreasing [1][2] - **Market Outlook**: If exports do not deteriorate significantly, the current industry supply - demand situation does not support a trend - based decline [1][2][5] Iron Element (Iron Ore) - **Supply**: Short - term supply increments are not obvious due to the slower - than - expected progress of overseas new projects, and the expected supply increment for the year will be adjusted downwards [2][6] - **Demand**: Steel enterprises have relatively little short - term passive production - reduction pressure [2][6] - **Inventory**: Port inventories are decreasing, and the total inventory has declined [2][6] - **Market Outlook**: Short - term supply and demand are balanced, but due to the marginal weakening of steel exports and the decline of hot metal production, the market is trading the industry's "negative feedback", and iron ore prices are under downward pressure. In the short term, prices are expected to oscillate [2][6] Carbon Element (Coking Coal and Coke) Coking Coal - **Supply**: Some coal mines have reduced production due to accidents and maintenance, but most main - producing area coal mines maintain normal production, and coking coal production remains high and stable. Mongolian coal port inventories are continuously accumulating, and traders face large shipment pressures, so overall supply is sufficient [3][8] - **Demand**: Coke production is at a high level in the same period, but coke enterprises face increasing inventory - reduction pressure, low coking profits, and limited space for coke production increase [3][8] - **Inventory**: As the coke price reduction cycle begins, coke enterprises' enthusiasm for raw material replenishment decreases, and the upstream inventory pressure of coking coal gradually increases [3][8] - **Market Outlook**: Supply pressure is difficult to resolve, and there is room for further decline in valuation. The futures price is expected to continue its weak trend [3][8] Coke - **Supply**: Coke enterprise profits have slightly shrunk, but upstream inventory pressure is acceptable, and the overall coke production level remains stable [6][7] - **Demand**: Hot metal production has declined from its peak, and terminal steel demand is gradually entering the off - season, so hot metal production may further decline in the future [6][7] - **Market Outlook**: With stable upstream supply and weakening demand support, and cost - end drag, coke prices are prone to fall and difficult to rise. In the short term, the futures market is expected to remain weak [6][7] Alloys (Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron) Silicon Manganese - **Supply**: There has been an increase in the resumption of production in Inner Mongolia recently, and production is expected to increase. As manganese ore shipments resume, port inventories of manganese ore are slowly rising [3][10][11] - **Demand**: Market sentiment remains cautious, and the supply - demand relationship tends to be loose [10][11] - **Market Outlook**: After the price decline, it is expected to oscillate under pressure in the short term, and there is still downward pressure in the medium term [10][11] Silicon Iron - **Supply**: A large silicon - iron factory in Inner Mongolia has shut down some furnaces, and daily silicon - iron production has decreased [12] - **Demand**: Steel mill tenders in May have basically completed procurement, and terminal steel is about to enter the off - season. The market demand expectation remains cautious, and the demand in the magnesium metal market is weak [12] - **Market Outlook**: Supply and demand contradictions have eased, but there is still an expectation of cost loosening. The futures market is expected to oscillate under pressure in the short term [12] Glass - **Demand**: Demand decline in the off - season is not obvious, and deep - processing demand has improved month - on - month but is still weak year - on - year. Spot production and sales have weakened [8] - **Supply**: Daily melting volume remains stable. Low prices suppress the willingness to resume production, and the willingness for cold repair is not obvious. Market rumors about environmental protection issues of Hubei production lines have led to a small rebound in the futures market [8] - **Inventory**: Upstream inventories have slightly decreased, and mid - stream inventories have declined [8] - **Market Outlook**: Real - world demand faces certain pressure in the off - season, and the futures price is at a discount to the spot price. The short - term view is to maintain oscillation [8] Soda Ash - **Supply**: The over - supply pattern has not changed. Although there are many maintenance operations in May, some enterprises have resumed production, and supply pressure still exists [5][9] - **Demand**: Heavy soda ash is expected to maintain rigid procurement. The overall daily melting volume of float glass fluctuates little, and there are still production lines being ignited in the photovoltaic industry, but the growth of photovoltaic glass daily melting volume may not be sustainable [9] - **Market Outlook**: It is expected to oscillate in the short term, and the price center will still decline in the long term [5][9] Steel - **Demand**: The apparent demand for the five major steel products has decreased by 4.8% year - on - year, and the decline has further widened. Domestic demand is still weak, but the overall steel contradictions are limited. Attention should be paid to the export demand situation [6] - **Supply**: Hot metal production is at a high level, and overall steel production has increased [6] - **Market Outlook**: The fundamentals have weakened month - on - month this week, and domestic off - season demand is still under pressure. However, overseas demand may be able to absorb the current high production after the export is no longer restricted by tariffs. The key lies in when exports will weaken. Steel prices are expected to oscillate in the short term [6] Scrap Steel - **Supply**: The five - day average arrival volume has rebounded compared to last week and is at a relatively high level in the same period [6] - **Demand**: The daily consumption of electric furnaces has slightly increased, mainly in East and Southwest China. The hot metal production of blast furnaces has slightly decreased, and the cost - performance of scrap steel has decreased, so the daily consumption of scrap steel in long - process production has decreased, and the total daily consumption of scrap steel in both long - and short - process production has slightly increased [6] - **Inventory**: After the arrival volume rebounded, the factory inventory has slightly increased and is higher than the same period [6] - **Market Outlook**: The market is pessimistic about off - season demand, finished - product prices are under pressure, and the loss of electric furnaces during off - peak hours has intensified. The future price is expected to oscillate weakly [6]

Although the inventory has been continuously decreasing, it remains at a high level compared to the same period. The industry's supply - demand mismatch has not been effectively improved. Short - term, soda ash is expected to mainly operate in a low - level oscillation [2][5]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Daily Views - **Fundamentals**: Alkali plant overhauls are gradually resuming. Supply has declined from its high level and is gradually stabilizing. The daily melting volume of downstream float and photovoltaic glass is stable, and the terminal demand is average. The soda ash plant inventory has decreased but is still at a historical high. This is a bearish factor [2]. - **Basis**: The spot price of heavy soda ash in Hebei Shahe is 1,290 yuan/ton, the closing price of SA2509 is 1,231 yuan/ton, and the basis is 59 yuan. The futures are at a discount to the spot, which is a bullish factor [2]. - **Inventory**: The national soda ash plant inventory is 167.68 million tons, a decrease of 2.06% from the previous week. The inventory is running above the 5 - year average, which is a bearish factor [2]. - **Disk**: The price is running below the 20 - day line, and the 20 - day line is downward, which is a bearish factor [2]. - **Main Position**: The main position is net short, and the short position is increasing, which is a bearish factor [2]. - **Expectation**: Given the supply - demand situation, soda ash is expected to operate in a low - level oscillation in the short term [2]. 2. Influencing Factors - **Bullish Factors**: The production capacity of downstream photovoltaic glass has increased, which boosts the demand for soda ash [3]. - **Bearish Factors**: Since 2023, the production capacity of soda ash has expanded significantly, and there are still large production plans this year. The industry's output is at a historical high. Also, the cold repair of downstream float glass for heavy soda is at a high level, and the daily melting volume is continuously decreasing, resulting in weak demand for soda ash [4]. 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The market sentiment is pessimistic, and the black market is oscillating downward. Glass and soda ash are affected by supply disturbances, with glass showing strength and soda ash showing weakness on the futures market. The double-silicon market is weak due to low market sentiment [1][3]. Group 3: Glass and Soda Ash Analysis Market Analysis - Glass futures oscillated upward yesterday with strong speculative sentiment. In the spot market, the shipment of manufacturers in the Shahe area was acceptable, the East China market was weakly sorted, most enterprises in the Central China region remained stable, the market price in the South China region was stable, the demand in the Northeast market was poor, the enterprise shipment was restricted, and the transaction in the Southwest region continued to slow down [1]. - Soda ash futures showed a weak oscillating downward trend yesterday. In the spot market, the domestic soda ash price was weakly stable with flexible transaction prices, and downstream buyers made appropriate purchases at low prices [1]. Supply and Demand Logic - The real estate completion data is still poor, leading to a pessimistic outlook for glass consumption. Currently, glass production is at a low level, downstream consumption is weak, short-term restocking cannot change the weak reality, and high inventory suppresses prices. In the short term, glass is under pressure, and future attention should be paid to changes in glass production lines and real estate data [1]. - With the successive implementation of new production projects, the high supply pressure of soda ash has emerged again. It is expected that the pressure to reduce inventory will be relatively large in the future, and prices will still be under pressure. Future attention should be paid to the intermittent maintenance and new production of soda ash production lines [1]. Strategy - Glass is expected to oscillate, while soda ash is expected to oscillate weakly. There are no strategies for inter - period or inter - variety trading [2]. Group 4: Double - Silicon Analysis Market Analysis - Silicon manganese futures continued to decline yesterday, with a decline of 0.92%. In the spot market, the silicon manganese market was weak, with few factory quotes. The price of 6517 in the northern and southern markets was 5500 - 5600 yuan/ton. Affected by industry profits, silicon manganese production is at a low level, with a slight week - on - week increase, and is generally at a low level in recent years. Currently, hot metal production remains at a high level in the same period, and the demand for silicon manganese is resilient. However, considering the strong expectation that hot metal production has peaked, it suppresses the futures market. High inventory of silicon manganese manufacturers and registered warrants suppress the price of silicon manganese. The port inventory of manganese ore has slightly increased from a low level, and the continuous decline in manganese ore prices has dragged down shipments, which supports the cost of alloys. Future attention should be paid to the supply side of manganese ore [3]. - Silicon iron futures continued to be weak yesterday. In the spot market, the silicon iron market was weak, and most operations were cautious. The cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron natural lumps in the main production areas was 5300 - 5350 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron was 5900 - 5950 yuan/ton. Against the background of enterprise losses, silicon iron production has dropped to the lowest level in recent years. High hot metal production maintains the resilience of silicon iron demand, but the inventory reduction of manufacturers has become weak, and the inventory of downstream enterprises remains low. Silicon iron production capacity is relatively abundant, and short - term prices are dragged down by costs. Future attention should be paid to changes in electricity prices and the impact of industrial policies on the black sector [3]. Strategy - For silicon manganese, the near - month contracts are suppressed by warrants, and attention should be paid to the opportunity of a low - level rebound in the far - month contracts. Silicon iron is expected to oscillate [4].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For soda ash, the supply has decreased and demand has recovered, but there is still inventory accumulation. In the medium - short term, production is under downward pressure, with insufficient downstream procurement potential and weak demand. In the long - term, there is an oversupply situation. The futures price lacks continuous upward momentum, and the price will re - enter a downward channel with a likely weak and volatile trend [8]. - For glass, the supply has significantly declined and may continue to fall. The demand is in a traditional off - season with weak cyclical demand, and downstream procurement enthusiasm is difficult to improve. With the deep adjustment of the real estate industry, the demand for glass is not effectively boosted. In the short term, as it enters the traditional off - season, the overall enterprise inventory is slightly decreasing, and the price may show a strong and volatile trend, with short - term rebound opportunities [9]. 3.
