Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints - The steel price is expected to maintain a volatile and slightly stronger trend in the short - term, with potential for further increase if downstream demand exceeds expectations in October. The "14th Five - Year Plan" content will also affect the market fluctuation. [4] - The coking coal and coke are expected to oscillate in the short - term, and the strategy is to buy on dips later. The supply of coking coal has policy support, but the upside is restricted by steel demand and profit. [9][11][12] - The iron ore price may face pressure at high levels as the market may not have priced in the rapid weakening of terminal demand in the third quarter, although domestic manufacturing steel demand is expected to recover in September. [13][14] - The ferrosilicon and silicomanganese are affected by high supply pressure. Ferrosilicon may rebound slightly due to market sentiment, while silicomanganese will oscillate at the bottom in the short - term. [15][16] 3. Summary by Category Steel - **Related Information**: In August 2025, China's crude steel output was 77.369 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 0.7%; from January to August, the cumulative crude steel output was 671.806 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.8%. In August, automobile production was 2.752 million vehicles, a year - on - year increase of 10.5%; from January to August, automobile production was 20.829 million vehicles, a year - on - year increase of 10.5%. The spot prices of steel in different regions decreased by 10 yuan. [3] - **Logic Analysis**: The black - metal sector was volatile and slightly stronger at night. This week, the hot - metal output increased slightly, and the national building - material output decreased. Inventory continued to accumulate, but the rate slowed down. Downstream demand improved with the temperature drop. Market news and low valuation led to the price increase. With the arrival of the peak season, steel demand will continue to improve, and there is support for the black - metal sector. [4] - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral: Steel maintains a volatile and slightly stronger trend. Arbitrage: Hold the long 1 - 5 spread and shrink the hot - rolled coil - rebar spread. Options: Buy out - of - the - money options of RB01. [4][5] Coking Coal and Coke - **Related Information**: On the 17th, the coking - coal auction prices in Linfen mostly rose. This week, the national raw - coal daily output increased, with Shanxi's output rising. There were news of coal - mine production cuts and capacity checks. The prices of coke and coking - coal warehouse receipts were provided. [8][9] - **Logic Analysis**: The coking coal and coke oscillated at night. The coking - coal spot market sentiment was good recently. The supply of coking coal is restricted by policies, but imported coal provides some supplement. The upside is restricted by steel demand and profit. [9][11] - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral: Expected to oscillate in the short - term, and buy on dips later. Arbitrage: Hold the long 1 - 5 spread of coking coal. Options: Wait and see. Spot - futures: Wait and see.

The iron - ore price may face pressure at high levels. [13][14] - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral: Hedge at high spot prices. Arbitrage: Wait and see. Options: Wait and see. [14] Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese - **Related Information**: The spot prices of manganese ore in Tianjin Port on the 17th were provided. The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points and is expected to cut 50 basis points more in 2025. [15] - **Logic Analysis**: The spot price of ferrosilicon was slightly weaker on the 17th. Supply decreased slightly but remained high. Market sentiment was boosted by the progress of Sino - US economic and trade negotiations. The spot price of silicomanganese was slightly weaker, with increased production and high iron - water output, but the demand was dragged down by the decline in electric - furnace operating rates. The cost of manganese ore supported the price. [15][16] - **Trading Strategies**: Unilateral: Follow the market and be slightly stronger in the short - term, but the target should not be too high due to high supply. Arbitrage: Wait and see. Options: Sell out - of - the - money straddle option combinations at high prices. [18]

行情复盘:本轮反弹为何发生在6月?
Wu Kuang Qi Huo· 2025-08-28 01:33
Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2) Core View of the Report The report concludes that the rebound of industrial products in June 2025 can be attributed to three main factors: the seasonal bullish trend of coal (a major contradiction in this year's commodity market) from June to September, the significantly low valuation of commodities in June offering good cost - effectiveness for capital entry, and the improving sentiment in the capital and commodity markets. The accidental events in July provided strong impetus for the upward rebound. The overall rebound could be anticipated to some extent, but the magnitude of the rebound was a combination of market volatility and accidental events, which was unpredictable [1][31][32]. 3) Summary by Related Sections Market Review - The price of commodities showed a clear divide around June 3, 2025. Before June 3, prices continued the downward trend since 2024, while after that date, the sentiment improved and prices started to rise, officially breaking away from the downward trend on the week of July 21 [4]. - Most industrial products, excluding some strong - macro and oil - related products, had their price inflection points in June [4]. Role of Coal in the Market - Coal, especially coking coal, has been a major contradiction and a main line in the commodity market since October 2024. It is either the direct upstream raw material or a major cost component for other sample products [13][14]. - The market has traded two main themes this year: "excess" or "deflation" trading and "anti - involution" sentiment - driven supply - side 2.0 expected trading. The market was dominated by sentiment and capital behavior from late April to early June [14]. - From June to September, coal has a seasonal bullish characteristic. June is the safety production month, and July - September is the traditional demand peak season. There are potential marginal changes in supply contraction and demand expansion during this period [15][19]. Reasons for the June Rebound - Coal's seasonal bullish trend from June to September provides market expectations and a narrative basis [1][31]. - In June, the overall commodity valuation reached a significantly low level, offering good cost - effectiveness for capital to enter the market. For example, coking coal had a high cost - effectiveness ratio of 4:1 or 5:1 [27][28][31]. - The improving sentiment in the capital and commodity markets in late June provided a good environment for the rebound. The accidental events in July, such as the "anti - involution" policy, further boosted the upward trend [31]. Trading Suggestions and Lessons - Based on the above reasons, a suggestion to close short positions profitably in June could be made. However, large - scale long - position entry should be considered after the "anti - involution" policy on July 1 [37]. - Many short - position holders increased their positions instead of closing them, resulting in huge losses and even forced liquidation. They failed to recognize the objective development of the market [38].

The oversupply situation continues, but the downward space may be limited, and it will continue to oscillate at the bottom [31][32]. - **Urea**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of urea rose. The market expects relaxed export restrictions to India. In the short term, it will oscillate, and in the medium term, it should be treated bullishly [33][34]. - **PX**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of PX rose. In the short term, the supply - demand situation has weakened, and the cost and demand support are insufficient. It may oscillate and adjust.

In the short term, the processing fee is under pressure, supply may decrease, demand improves slightly, and the cost support is weak. It may oscillate and be sorted out. Consider range - bound participation [36][37]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of ethylene glycol rose. In the short term, the supply increase may suppress the market, but overseas device maintenance may reduce imports. Consider range - bound participation and pay attention to port inventory and import changes [38]. - **Short - Fiber**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of short - fiber rose. In the short term, the supply remains at a relatively high level, demand improves, and the supply - demand contradiction is not significant. It may follow the cost to oscillate [39][40]. - **Bottle Chips**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of bottle chips rose. Raw material prices oscillate, and there are more device overhauls.

[47][48] - **Lithium Carbonate**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of lithium carbonate fell. The trading logic has shifted to policy - related and mining - license events. The supply - demand surplus pattern remains, and investors should operate with a light position and control risks [49]. Non - Ferrous Metals - **Copper**: On the previous trading day, Shanghai copper oscillated slightly. The import window is open, and downstream consumption is average. There is a shortage of copper concentrate, and factors such as the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation and smooth Sino - US trade negotiations support copper prices.
