Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent price increases in various sectors, particularly in the new energy, building materials, and coal industries, driven by a shift away from excessive competition and a focus on structural adjustments in key industries [3][4]. Group 1: Price Increases and Market Trends - Since July, the new energy sector has seen significant price increases, with polysilicon rising by 57%, industrial silicon by 20%, and lithium carbonate by 13% [3]. - In the black metal sector, coking coal has increased by 33.4%, with other commodities also experiencing gains of over 10% [3]. - The chemical sector has seen prices for caustic soda and alumina rise by more than 10%, while other energy, non-ferrous, and agricultural products have shown relatively muted performance [3]. Group 2: Futures vs. Spot Prices - The futures prices in the affected sectors have risen significantly faster than spot prices, leading to a rapid decrease in basis rates, such as polysilicon at -12% and coking coal at -11% [4]. - The future correction of basis rates will depend on the willingness of downstream buyers to restock and whether the arbitrage window opens for buying spot and hedging in futures [4]. Group 3: Inventory and Market Sentiment - The current market sentiment is influenced by overly pessimistic views from the previous quarter, which led to active price reductions to clear inventory [4]. - Core inventory levels for some commodities are not high, indicating that if the downstream demand continues to improve, there could be a scenario where spot prices rise alongside futures, strengthening the basis [4]. Group 4: Downstream Purchasing Behavior - Downstream industries are exhibiting a "buy on the rise, sell on the fall" mentality, which could lead to synchronized price increases in both spot and futures markets if restocking occurs [4]. - The overall sentiment suggests that until inventory levels reach a relatively high point, commodities may continue to experience upward price pressure [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The risk appetite in the stock market has rebounded moderately, creating a relatively strong pattern. The index is in a slow - bull state with prominent structural market conditions, driven by limited external risk disturbances, stable domestic fundamentals and optimistic policy expectations, and the inflow of funds due to the shift from short to long positions [7]. - The cast aluminum alloy is expected to open high on the first day of listing but may decline later. It is recommended to pay attention to inter - period positive spreads and long AD short AL positions [8]. - The pulp market is affected by news but is expected to have limited upside due to high inventory and weak demand [10]. - Crude oil may continue to be strong in the short - term, with Brent having a chance to challenge $80 per barrel in the third quarter, but there is significant downward pressure in the medium - to - long - term [11]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Stock Index - The current index is in a slow - bull state with prominent structural market conditions. External risk disturbances are limited, domestic fundamentals are stable, and policy expectations are optimistic. The inflow of funds due to the shift from short to long positions also contributes to the market. However, if the market rises too fast or there are new changes in the external environment, the index may experience greater fluctuations [7]. 3.2 Cast Aluminum Alloy - It is expected to open high on the first day of listing, with a possible 6 - 8% increase in the call auction. The listing price is significantly lower than the reasonable valuation. However, the fundamentals are weak, and it is likely to open high and fall low. It is recommended to pay attention to inter - period positive spreads and long AD short AL positions around mid - year [8]. 3.3 Pulp - The shutdown of a pulp mill by Fenbao Group boosts the market, but the upside is limited. June is the off - season for the downstream paper market, with weak terminal market performance, low raw material procurement enthusiasm of paper mills, and high inventory, making it difficult for the market to have an unexpected performance [10]. 3.4 Crude Oil - Short - term: Both domestic and foreign crude oil markets are relatively strong. Brent may challenge $80 per barrel in the third quarter. The actual increase in supply is lower than expected, and there are still positive factors such as the contraction of Iranian oil supply, low inventory in major regions, and slow growth of US shale oil supply. - Medium - to - long - term: There is significant downward pressure, and Brent may test $50 per barrel this year. It is recommended to hold long positions and positive spreads as appropriate [11]. 3.5 Other Commodities - **Gold and Silver**: Gold's non - farm payrolls slightly exceeded expectations, and silver had a technical breakthrough.

Stainless steel prices are oscillating in a range due to increased production cuts through negative feedback. The trend strength of both is 0 [40]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The ore price has stabilized, and the weak oscillation continues, with a trend strength of 0 [45]. - **Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon**: Industrial silicon has limited upside space and is recommended to be short - allocated on rallies.
