Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The steel market currently has strong real - world fundamentals and rising macro - optimistic expectations, which support the lower limit of finished products. However, the weak demand expectation and the tendency of new orders to decline limit the upward space of the futures market. Without unexpected positive news, the futures market may fluctuate in the near term [3]. - The iron ore market is trading on the expectation of future demand rather than the current situation of strong supply and demand. There is an expectation of a significant decline in demand in mid - to late May, and the weakening of exports may intensify industrial chain contradictions [17]. - The coal - coke market is in a short - term situation of strong supply and demand. In the long - term, due to coal supply guarantee and crude steel reduction expectations, coking coal may face long - term price decline, and the upward resistance of coke futures is relatively large [34]. - The ferroalloy market still has a high - inventory pattern. Although the pressure of high supply of silicon manganese has been alleviated, supply still exceeds demand compared with weak downstream demand. The production of silicon iron has increased slightly this week, and the large increase in warehouse receipts suppresses the rise of the futures price [54]. - The soda ash market is expected to have more maintenance in May, increasing supply disturbances. The market is in a long - term oversupply expectation, and although the current inventory accumulation is less than expected, the supply disturbances may increase market fluctuations [70]. - The glass market is facing over - supply pressure. The futures price may continue to decline to force new cold repairs. The key variables are the delay of ignition and new cold repairs, as well as the improvement of demand [96]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Price Data - On May 7, 2025, the closing prices of rebar 01, 05, and 10 contracts were 3126, 3048, and 3098 respectively, and those of hot - rolled coil 01, 05, and 10 contracts were 3239, 3200, and 3217 respectively [4]. - The spot prices of rebar in different regions such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Hangzhou were between 3180 - 3344 yuan/ton on May 7, 2025 [9]. Market Analysis - From a macro - industrial perspective, Sino - US trade negotiations seem to have new progress, and the macro - optimistic expectation has risen. The real - world fundamentals are strong, but the future demand expectation is weak, and the market may face pressure from weakening demand and falling raw material costs [3]. Iron Ore Price Data - On May 7, 2025, the closing prices of 01, 05, and 09 contracts were 681, 768, and 708 respectively. The prices of different types of iron ore in Rizhao, such as PB powder, were also provided [18]. Market Analysis - The current supply and demand of iron ore are both strong, but the market is trading on future expectations. There is an expectation of a significant decline in demand in mid - to late May, and the negative feedback pressure on steel mills to reduce production is increasing [17]. Coal - Coke Price Data - On May 7, 2025, the coking coal and coke warehouse receipt costs and basis in different regions and contracts were provided, as well as the coking profit on the futures market [35]. Market Analysis - In the short - term, the supply and demand of coal - coke are both strong. In the long - term, coking coal may face long - term price decline, and the upward resistance of coke futures is relatively large [34]. Ferroalloy Price Data - On May 7, 2025, the silicon iron and silicon manganese basis, futures spreads, and spot prices in different regions were provided, as well as the prices of related raw materials and the number of warehouse receipts [55][56]. Market Analysis - The ferroalloy market still has a high - inventory pattern. The supply of silicon manganese still exceeds demand, and the increase in silicon iron production and warehouse receipts suppresses the futures price [54]. Soda Ash Price Data - On May 7, 2025, the soda ash futures prices, spreads, and spot prices in different regions were provided [71][72]. Market Analysis - In May, there are expected to be more maintenance activities, increasing supply disturbances. The market is in a long - term oversupply expectation, and although the current inventory accumulation is less than expected, the supply disturbances may increase market fluctuations [70]. Glass Price Data - On May 7, 2025, the glass futures prices, spreads, and basis in different regions were provided, as well as the daily sales data in different regions [98][99]. Market Analysis - The glass market is facing over - supply pressure. The futures price may continue to decline to force new cold repairs. The key variables are the delay of ignition and new cold repairs, as well as the improvement of demand [96].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Glass: Oscillatory [2] - Soda Ash: Oscillatory and Weakening [2] - Silicomanganese: Oscillatory [4] - Ferrosilicon: Oscillatory [4] 2. Core Views - The market contradictions are insufficient, and the ore price is weakly oscillating. The spot trading of glass and soda ash is weak and stable, with their futures opening high and closing low. The cost center of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese has shifted downwards, and their prices have reached new lows [1][3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Glass - **Market Analysis**: The glass futures oscillated weakly after opening higher. The overall spot market trading was weak and stable, showing improvement compared to the holiday [1]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: There were both ignition and water - release production lines recently. With ignition production lines not yet delivering goods, the supply pressure may be slightly relieved, and glass inventory decreased slightly. However, due to insufficient recovery of real - estate and deep - processing demand, the restocking intensity and sustainability were weak, and prices lacked upward momentum. In the later high - temperature and rainy season, it is not conducive to glass storage, so enterprises' intention to reduce inventory through sales may be stronger [1]. - **Strategy**: Oscillatory [2] Soda Ash - **Market Analysis**: The soda ash futures oscillated weakly after opening higher. The market demand was average, mainly for rigid - need procurement. The prices of light and heavy soda ash in North China and Central China decreased by 10 - 30 yuan/ton month - on - month [1]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Recently, the soda ash production has been steadily increasing, maintaining a loose state. Demand is relatively stable, with restocking at low prices. The growth of the photovoltaic industry has slowed down, and the room for increasing soda ash demand is limited. The pressure to reduce inventory is still large. It is expected that soda ash plants will intermittently reduce production for maintenance to relieve the inventory accumulation pressure [1]. - **Strategy**: Oscillatory and Weakening [2] Silicomanganese - **Market Analysis**: As market sentiment further weakened, the silicomanganese futures oscillated downward, and the price reached a new low recently. The spot market of silicomanganese was running weakly. Factories basically stopped quoting prices and adopted a wait - and - see attitude. The price of 6517 in the northern market was 5550 - 5600 yuan/ton, and in the southern market, it was also 5550 - 5600 yuan/ton [3]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Affected by industry profits, silicomanganese production continued to decline. The molten iron production remained at a high level, and the demand for silicomanganese was resilient. Since the silicomanganese production capacity was sufficient, once the profit improved, the production could increase rapidly. Considering that the port inventory of manganese ore was in the stage of rising from a low level, it still provided some support for alloy costs. The near - month contract was continuously suppressed by warehouse receipts [3]. - **Strategy**: Oscillatory [4] Ferrosilicon - **Market Analysis**: The ferrosilicon futures led the decline in the black - goods sector, showing overall weakness, and the price reached a new low recently. The spot market of ferrosilicon was running weakly. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade ferrosilicon natural lumps in the main production areas was 5450 - 5600 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade ferrosilicon was 6050 - 6100 yuan/ton [3]. - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Although the demand remained strong, the ferrosilicon production still declined under the condition of losses. The manufacturers' inventory decreased from a high level, and the downstream enterprises' inventory remained at a low level. Due to the relatively loose ferrosilicon production capacity, the price would still be suppressed by high inventory. Attention should be paid to the impact of industrial policies on the black - goods sector in the future [3]. - **Strategy**: Oscillatory [4]

Core Viewpoint - A trend of Chinese manufacturers establishing factories in the U.S. is emerging, driven by high tariffs and the need for more stable supply chains, as well as the desire to reduce costs and increase competitiveness in the American market [9][32][39]. Group 1: Manufacturing Trends - Chinese manufacturers are increasingly seeking to set up operations in the U.S. to mitigate the impact of tariffs and to adapt to changing market conditions [9][32]. - The "factory within a factory" model is becoming popular, allowing Chinese companies to utilize existing American facilities and resources, thus reducing initial investment costs [14][16]. - Many Chinese manufacturers are transitioning from "Made in China" to "Assembled in USA," which helps in lowering tariffs and improving market access [15][28]. Group 2: Cost Structure - The cost of setting up operations in the U.S. is primarily driven by labor and facility expenses, with average hourly wages for U.S. manufacturing workers being significantly higher than those in China [48][49]. - Simplified assembly lines can be established at low costs, with per-unit costs as low as $10, depending on the product [18][19]. - The use of local resources and labor can help mitigate some of the high costs associated with U.S. manufacturing [16][19]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - U.S. retailers are increasingly interested in sourcing locally to ensure stable supply chains, even if it means paying higher prices [39][41]. - The shift towards local assembly is seen as a way to enhance product competitiveness and to counteract the effects of tariffs [37][39]. - The demand for American-made products is rising, with many U.S. brands preferring to work with local manufacturers to avoid the risks associated with overseas supply chains [39][64]. Group 4: Challenges and Limitations - Despite the potential benefits, challenges such as high labor costs, regulatory complexities, and a lack of skilled labor in the U.S. manufacturing sector remain significant hurdles [52][56]. - The uncertainty surrounding U.S.-China trade relations and the potential for fluctuating tariffs adds to the risk for manufacturers considering U.S. operations [58][61]. - The current manufacturing landscape in the U.S. is still developing, and many Chinese companies face difficulties in scaling their operations effectively [56][68].
