Key Findings

• Overall Trend: Most analyzed commodities are in bearish or neutral trends due to demand weakening, supply excesses, and negative feedback loops. Trend strength ranges from -2 (strongest bearish) to 0 (neutral).

Iron Ore

• Market Overview: Demand concerns are growing due to holiday inventory build-up and potential steel production cuts, leading to persistent bearish pressure.
• Trend: Bearish bias with weak oscillation. Trend strength: -1.
• Drivers: High inventories in steel downstream, reduced ore stocking, and negative feedback risks.

Rebar

• Market Overview: Domestic demand is weak, inventory accumulation is accelerating, and high production levels are exacerbating supply-demand imbalances.
• Trend: Weak and oscillating. Trend strength: -1.
• Drivers: Reduced month-on-month demand, especially post-peak season, with limited support for price recovery.

Hot Rolled Coil

• Market Overview: Inventory pressures are rising, and demand has shown marginal weakening, sustaining downward pressure on prices.
• Trend: Bearish with oscillation lean. Trend strength: -1.
• Drivers: High steel production but weak end-market consumption, particularly in industrial sectors.

Silicon Iron

• Market Overview: Supply increases are outpacing demand, leading to insufficient demand-supply gaps. Lower charcoal costs are easing profit margins.
• Trend: Weak with potential for limited upside due to policy and market uncertainties. Trend strength: -1.
• Drivers: Ongoing energy supervision risks, high inventories, and weak demand from steel sector.

Manganese Silicon

• Market Overview: Concerns about negative feedback intensify, with prices experiencing high volatility amid supply-demand dynamics.
• Trend: Repeated bearish pressure leading to price fluctuations. Trend strength: -1.
• Drivers: High supply from ore sources, industrial constraints, and potential policy changes limiting profit growth.

Coke and Coking Coal

• Market Overview: Downstream production cuts are emerging, impacting both coke and coal markets. High inventory levels and cost pressures contribute to bearish scenarios.
• Trend: Oscillating weak. Trend strength: -1 for both.
• Drivers: Reduced steel demand, lower valuation from linked commodities, and seasonal demand slowdown.

Lignite Coal

• Market Overview: Prices are holding steady near highs due to supply constraints like inspections and high demand from sectors like non-ferrous metals.
• Trend: Neutral with high oscillation, influenced by seasonal maintenance and supply tightness. Trend strength: 0.
• Drivers: Limited output from key producing regions and persistent demand spikes.

Glass

• Market Overview: Mid-term adjustments are ongoing, with pure碱 price declines suppressing glass prices further. High supply and inventory strain the market.
• Trend: Weak, testing lower support levels. Trend strength: -1.
• Drivers: Combination of high production capacity and reduced downstream demand, limiting recovery.

General Notes: All analyses emphasize the need to read the disclaimer before relying on views. Most commodities face downside risks, with a few (like lignite coal) maintaining some stability amid supply issues.
