[Sources say OPEC+ may agree to a slight increase of 137,000 barrels per day in December] Three sources familiar with the matter said that OPEC+ is expected to agree on Sunday to slightly increase its oil production target again in December. Amid predictions of a potential supply glut next year, the organization is slowing its previous production increases aimed at regaining market share. Since April, OPEC+ has raised its production target by more than 2.7 million barrels per day, equivalent to about 2.5% of global supply. However, due to market concerns about oversupply, the increase in October and November slowed to 137,000 barrels per day. New Western sanctions against Russia have also challenged negotiations, making it difficult for Moscow to further increase production. The three sources said that eight OPEC+ members, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Kazakhstan, and Algeria, are expected to agree on Sunday to increase production by another 137,000 barrels per day in December. Another source indicated that a pause in the production increase is also possible.

The S&P 500's forward price-to-earnings ratio has reached 23 times, far exceeding the average of 16 times over the past two decades. The Bank of America team, led by Michael Hartnett, stated, "The AI sector's leading position is unlikely to change in the short term, and gold and Chinese stocks are the best hedging tools against the boom/bubble."

[Chevron CFO: Ample Supply, Low Oil Prices May Persist into 2026] Chevron's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Eimear Bonner, stated that the risk of low oil prices could persist into next year due to strong OPEC+ production. Bonner believes, "There has been some production easing in OPEC+, and supply from non-OPEC oil-producing countries is also increasing. We may see some pressure continue this year and into 2026." Analysts predict that supply growth will slow as 2026 approaches, laying the foundation for a potential price rebound. "When we consider the long-term outlook for the oil and gas market, we remain very bullish. Supply and demand will eventually reach equilibrium."

Scotiabank: Canadian Q3 Economic Growth Barely Positive, But Bank of Canada Not Surprised] Scotiabank's Derek Holt stated that Canadian economic growth in the third quarter was barely positive, but the Bank of Canada was not surprised. The economy contracted in August, following a slight upward revision of July's growth data, while September's expected growth momentum was positive. Holt pointed out that the final result showed that the annualized GDP growth rate for the third quarter was approximately 0.4%, largely consistent with the Bank of Canada's recently released growth forecast of 0.5%. Holt also noted that the central bank's forecasts and tracking estimates are based on different concepts, therefore it cannot be concluded that the Bank of Canada's estimates were incorrect.

[US Energy Secretary: US and Canada Aim to Return to Trade Negotiations] US Energy Secretary Jerry Wright stated that the US and Canada aim to return to the negotiating table and strengthen cooperation in oil, gas, and key minerals. Speaking at the G7 Energy and Environment Ministers' Meeting in Toronto, Wright said that negotiations between the US and Canada had stalled "for some important reasons." Last week, US President Trump halted negotiations after Ontario aired an anti-tariff advertisement in the US that referenced a 1987 radio address by former President Reagan. Trump also threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods. Before the negotiations broke down, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that progress had been made on steel and aluminum tariffs and an energy agreement. Carney also proposed to Trump the restart of the Keystone XL pipeline project. Wright said, "We've encountered some bumps along the way. I think the goal is to get both sides back together and see cooperation between the US and Canada in key minerals, oil, and gas."

[Citigroup: US Unemployment Rate Likely to Rise in October Due to Increased Temporary Job Losses from Government Shutdown] Citigroup economists have written that the unemployment rate may rise in October due to increased temporary job losses caused by the government shutdown. Wall Street urgently needs labor market data to assess the likelihood of another Federal Reserve rate cut in December. Due to the government shutdown, official statistics may not be available next week. Based on available data from various states, Citigroup estimates that the number of continuing jobless claims is increasing, indicating that hiring remains sluggish. Economists stated, "We will be closely watching whether the number of continuing jobless claims in November and December stabilizes." They also noted that if it continues to rise, "it suggests that employment data may not stabilize in the fourth/first quarter as it did last year."

23:21:44

[Lack of Clear Signs of Weakness in the UK Economy Makes the Bank of England's Rate Cut Path Uncertain] Shane O'Neill of Validus Risk Management noted in a report that the lack of clear signs of weakness in the UK economy makes the Bank of England's rate cut path uncertain. He stated that the uncertainty surrounding the Bank of England's rate cut, along with persistent fiscal concerns ahead of the November 26th budget announcement, has limited the extent of the decline in UK government bond yields. O'Neill believes that if UK inflation and employment data continue to weaken, it will provide the necessary evidence for the Bank of England to lower interest rates in the coming months. Tradeweb data shows that the yield on 10-year UK government bonds is slightly high at 4.414%.

[Deloitte: Artificial Intelligence is Both Disruptive and a Turning Point for the Entertainment Industry] Deloitte's US partner, Danny Ledger, stated that artificial intelligence (AI) is both disruptive and a turning point for the entertainment industry. He added that while human imagination will remain central to Hollywood storytelling, AI is helping studios operate more intelligently and efficiently. In September, OpenAI invested in and produced an AI-powered animated feature film called *Critterz*, with a budget of less than $30 million, far below the average cost of an animated film, highlighting the economic benefits of using this new technology in production. However, Ledger points out that the real opportunity lies not only in cost reduction. "It enables smarter, more connected production through cloud workflows, a robust data strategy, and intelligent agents, thereby planning and managing creative projects more efficiently." Ledger also stated that the next generation of AI brings new challenges regarding creative ownership, copyright, and intellectual property protection.

Canada's budget deficit widened in August and for the first five months of the current fiscal year, foreshadowing the state of public finances ahead of the Liberal government's annual budget announcement next week. The Treasury Department's monthly fiscal monitor showed that the deficit widened to C$3.28 billion (equivalent to US$2.34 billion) in August from C$2.55 billion a year earlier. The deficit rose to C$11.07 billion between April and August from C$9.84 billion a year earlier. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne will announce the government's budget plan on Tuesday, and officials have warned that the deficit for the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31 next year, will be substantial. Parliament's budget oversight body projects the deficit for fiscal year 2025-26 to reach C$68.5 billion, exceeding 2% of GDP. Some analysts, such as economists at the CD Howe Institute think tank in Toronto and National Bank Financial, believe the budget deficit could be much higher, reaching around C$90 billion.

[Danish Bank: Bank of England May Cut Rates Next Week, Potentially Weakening the Pound] Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen of Danske Bank stated in a report that the Bank of England may unexpectedly cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75% on Thursday, leading to a weaker pound. The labor market continues to cool, and the latest inflation data is lower than expected. She said, "We believe the path to a rate cut at the November meeting, while narrow, is clear." However, she indicated that the Bank of England may make a final rate cut in February, lowering the rate to 3.5%, as the country's economy is performing strongly and inflation remains above the 2% target. Danske Bank expects the euro to rise against the pound from its current level of 0.8787 to 0.89 within six to twelve months.

[Italian Deputy Prime Minister Urges ECB to Cut Interest Rates and Restart QE] Italian Deputy Prime Minister Tajani has called on the European Central Bank (ECB) to cut interest rates and restart quantitative easing (QE) to prevent the euro's appreciation from harming Italian exporters. Tajani stated, "The continued weakening of the dollar, the continued strengthening of the euro, and tariffs are all hurting our exporters. I hope the ECB will consider further interest rate cuts, like the Federal Reserve, while simultaneously launching new QE measures to ensure more liquidity in the market and weaken the euro's strength." He added that without these measures, "our exporters will face increasing difficulties." He pointed out that a stronger euro could diminish the benefits of the trade agreement reached between Brussels and Washington, which sets tariffs at 15% on most goods. Quantitative easing (QE) is a policy tool used by central banks to inject funds into the economy during crises by purchasing assets such as government bonds. When used in conjunction with interest rate cuts, it can make it easier for businesses to obtain loans and is sometimes used to prevent economic recessions. The ECB stopped net asset purchases in 2022.

[Global Central Banks Bought 220 Tons of Gold in Q3, Spending $41 Billion on Jewelry] On March 30th, local time, the World Gold Council released its "Global Gold Demand Trends Report" for Q3 2025. Global gold demand reached 1,313 tons in Q3, a 3% year-on-year increase; the value of gold demand surged 44% year-on-year to $146 billion, both record highs for a single quarter. By the end of Q3, total gold demand had increased by 1% to 3,717 tons, valued at $384 billion, a 41% year-on-year increase. Investment demand dominated. Global gold investment demand surged to 537 tons in Q3, a 47% year-on-year increase, accounting for 55% of net gold demand in the quarter. Gold ETFs performed particularly well, with global holdings increasing by 222 tons; physical gold investment was also robust, with demand for gold bars and coins exceeding 300 tons for the fourth consecutive quarter. International gold prices repeatedly hit new highs. Gold futures prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose 17.1% from $3,307.7 per ounce at the end of June to $3,873.2 per ounce at the end of the third quarter. The price surged even more sharply in October, breaking through $4,000. On October 20th, gold futures prices briefly touched a record high of $4,392 per ounce, highlighting the current market's enthusiasm for gold investment. The high gold prices have not deterred central banks' gold purchases. In the third quarter, global central banks' net gold purchases totaled 220 tons, a 28% increase from the second quarter and a 10% year-on-year increase. [Microphone] Industry insiders stated that escalating geopolitical tensions, persistently high inflationary pressures, and uncertainty surrounding global trade policies have all contributed to increased investor demand for safe-haven assets. A weakening dollar, expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, and the existence of stagflation risks will further support future investment demand for gold. (CCTV Finance)

This drug is used to dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure, and is also commonly used to treat nightmares and sleep problems caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The FDA stated in its announcement that some batches of the drug may contain N-nitrosamines, a potentially carcinogenic compound that can form during drug manufacturing or storage. The regulatory agency has classified this recall as a "Level 2 risk event." (CCTV News)

Morgan Stanley: Gold Prices Could Rise to $4,500 by Mid-2026. Morgan Stanley states that gold prices are poised to reach $4,500 per ounce by mid-2026 (previously projected for the second half of 2026) due to strong physical demand from ETFs and central banks, coupled with continued economic uncertainty. In a report, Morgan Stanley noted, “Recent gold price action has pushed it into ‘overbought’ territory on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but the recent pullback has brought it back to healthier levels, potentially clearing market positions.” The bank expects continued buying of gold ETFs as interest rates decline, along with continued central bank purchases, albeit at a slower pace, while jewelry demand is expected to stabilize. However, Morgan Stanley also warns of downside risks, including potential price volatility that could prompt investors to shift to other asset classes, or central banks reducing their gold reserves.

[Spot Gold Technical Analysis] Observing the 30-minute candlestick chart, spot gold is generally exhibiting a range-bound trading pattern. The price structure shows that after the previous upward wave from a low of $3915.35 to a high of $4046.13, gold prices have recently entered a period of consolidation at higher levels. The price faces resistance at $4035.70, $4046.13, and $4060. On the downside, the psychological level of $4000.00 forms the first line of defense, with further support levels at $3988.91 and $3960.00, and the strongest support at the previous low of $3915.35. Looking at the MACD indicator, the current DIFF value is 2.24, the DEA value is 1.36, and the MACD histogram value is 1.76. Although both the fast and slow lines remain above the zero axis, indicating that the medium-term trend is still bullish, the small and converging MACD histogram values reflect a weakening of bullish momentum. From a candlestick chart analysis, the left side of the chart shows a relatively smooth upward trend, with the price steadily climbing from $3915.35 to $4046.13. During this period, it repeatedly tested support levels before continuing its upward movement, indicating a bullish dominance. However, the price encountered resistance after reaching the high of $4046.13 and subsequently fell back, entering a period of consolidation, reaching a low of $3988.91. Gold prices then rebounded again and are currently consolidating around $4020. This pattern of repeatedly testing resistance levels but failing to break through effectively reveals a weakening of bullish momentum. If gold prices cannot break through $4046.13 with significant volume in the short term, there is a possibility of a downward retest of the $4000 support level. Overall, the technical indicators on the 30-minute chart show a mixed picture of bullish and bearish forces. While the MACD is above the zero line, its momentum is weakening, and the RSI is neutral to slightly bullish but with limited upside potential. In terms of price structure, gold prices are trapped in a consolidation range between $4000 and $4046.13, and the short-term breakout direction remains unclear.

[Russian Inflation Expectations Revised Upwards, Central Bank's Room for Interest Rate Cuts Limited] ⑴ A Reuters poll shows analysts have revised their 2025 inflation forecast for Russia upwards to 6.9% from 6.5%, consistent with the central bank's forecast range of 6.5%-7%. ⑵ The 2026 inflation forecast is set at 5.4%, still above the official target, reflecting persistent price pressures. ⑶ Economic growth expectations remain unchanged, with 2025 GDP growth estimated at 1.0%, indicating limited economic recovery. ⑷ Ruble exchange rate expectations have improved, with the 12-month USD/RUB forecast revised down from 97.7 to 94.2, indicating easing pressure on currency depreciation. ⑸ The central bank's key interest rate is expected to fall from the current 16.5% to 16.0% by the end of 2025, a reduction of only 50 basis points. ⑹ The upward revision of inflation expectations is mainly due to the government's tax increase plan; changes in fiscal policy exacerbate the risk of rising prices. ⑺ The central bank faces challenges in balancing inflation control and economic growth, limiting its room for monetary policy easing. (8) Real interest rates remain high, and despite rising inflation, the central bank still needs to maintain a tight stance to anchor price expectations.

[Argentina Trapped in $16 Billion Legal Dilemma, Sovereign Debt Rules Face Reshaping] ⑴ While Argentine President Milley won the domestic midterm elections, he faces a $16 billion legal ruling overseas that could overturn his economic reforms. ⑵ US Judge Presca ruled that Argentina violated the bylaws when nationalizing YPF oil company in 2012, ordering it to compensate minority shareholders. ⑶ The judgment amount surged from the initial $5 billion to $16 billion because the judge used the 2012 exchange rate plus 8% annual interest, instead of the 0.76% statutory interest rate claimed by Argentina. ⑷ Lawyers representing Argentina warned that the ruling poses an "existential threat" to the country, whose net international foreign exchange reserves were negative $5 billion in June. ⑸ The Milley government is dealing with over $100 billion in maturing debt and curbing hyperinflation, while also facing $40 billion in temporary aid from Trump. ⑹ The judge's unconventional interpretation of Argentine law, rather than following legal principles to direct the litigation to an Argentine court, has sent shockwaves through the financial world. (7) Bank of America, concerned about potential involvement in similar international legal disputes, has expressed its concerns to the court. This precedent could prompt sovereign borrowers to seek jurisdictions outside of New York. (8) Two judges on the appeals court questioned the choice of venue, arguing that the case should have been heard in Argentina. Burford's stock price plummeted during the proceedings. (9) If the ruling is upheld, it will not only severely damage the Argentine economy but could also reshape the sovereign debt dispute resolution mechanism and impact global capital market rules. (10) This case highlights the profound contradiction between international investment protection and sovereign state policy space. The outcome will have a far-reaching impact on financing costs in emerging markets.

[US Natural Gas Prices Surge to Six-Month High, LNG Export Demand Hits Record High] ⑴ US natural gas futures rose 4% to a six-month high on Friday, with the December contract settling at $4.116 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). ⑵ Prices remained in technically overbought territory for the second consecutive day, the first time in four weeks, with a weekly gain of 25%, the largest weekly increase since April 2024. ⑶ The monthly gain of 25% also marks the largest monthly increase since March, significantly outperforming the crude oil market. ⑷ The crude oil-to-natural gas price ratio fell to 15:1, the lowest since December 2022, well below the reasonable level of 6:1 based on energy equivalents. ⑸ Average flow rates at liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities reached a record high of 16.6 billion cubic feet per day in October, with Friday's daily flow rising to 17.9 billion cubic feet per day. ⑹ Natural gas production in the 48 contiguous US states fell to 107 billion cubic feet per day, a decline from the record high of 108 billion cubic feet per day set in August. (7) Despite inventory levels being approximately 4% higher than normal, strong export demand continues to consume excess supply. (8) Weather forecasts indicate that temperatures will generally be above normal until November 15th, and heating demand is expected to be below seasonal norm. (9) Analysts predict that natural gas demand will remain in the range of 108.9-109.8 billion cubic feet per day over the next two weeks, higher than previously expected. (10) The current Henry Hub spot price is $4.08, a significant increase from $2.58 in the same period last year, indicating a fundamental shift in the market's supply and demand dynamics.

[Oversupply Suppresses Geopolitical Risks, Oil Price Outlook Remains Weak in 2025] ⑴ A Reuters survey shows that despite geopolitical risks, ample supply and weak demand will continue to suppress oil prices. ⑵ 36 analysts predict an average Brent crude price of $67.99 per barrel in 2025, only $0.38 higher than last month's forecast. ⑶ The average U.S. crude price in 2025 is expected to be $64.83 per barrel, slightly higher than the September forecast of $64.39. ⑷ Year-to-date, Brent and U.S. crude average prices are $69.27 and $65.92 respectively, with current forecasts below actual levels. ⑸ Continued production increases by OPEC+ have offset the impact of geopolitical risks, raising the production target by 2.7 million barrels per day since April. ⑹ The organization favors a slight increase in production again in December, continuing its policy path of gradually easing production cuts. (7) Analysts predict a supply glut in the oil market in 2026, ranging from 190,000 to 3 million barrels per day. (8) Demand growth is projected to be between 650,000 and 2 million barrels per day, primarily driven by Chinese economic growth. (9) US sanctions against Russian oil companies and the fragility of the Middle East ceasefire constitute major geopolitical risk factors.

[Argentina Faces $16 Billion Legal Crisis as Millais' Economic Reforms Encounter Unexpected Obstacle] ⑴ While Argentine President Millais won the domestic election, she faces a $16 billion legal ruling overseas that could overturn her economic reforms. ⑵ US Judge Presca ruled that Argentina violated the bylaws when nationalizing YPF oil company in 2012, ordering compensation to minority shareholders. ⑶ The judgment amount surged from $5 billion to $16 billion because the judge used the 2012 exchange rate plus 8% annual interest, instead of the 0.76% claimed by Argentina. ⑷ Lawyers representing Argentina warned that the ruling poses an "existential threat" to the country, whose net international foreign exchange reserves were negative $5 billion in June. ⑸ The radical ruling by the US court has raised concerns in the financial community that it may prompt sovereign borrowers to seek legal jurisdictions outside of New York. ⑹ Two judges on the appeals court questioned the choice of venue, arguing that the case should be heard in Argentina. ⑺ If the ruling is upheld, Millais will face the dilemma of dealing with over $100 billion in maturing debt and curbing inflation while simultaneously managing a massive legal settlement. (8) This case not only threatens Argentina's economic stability, but may also reshape the sovereign debt dispute resolution mechanism and affect the rules of global capital markets.

[Russia May Tacitly Approve OPEC+ Production Increase, Geopolitical Games Underway] ⑴ Consulting firms predict Russia is unlikely to oppose OPEC+'s plan to increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in December. ⑵ Although the latest sanctions could reduce Russian oil production by 500,000-600,000 barrels per day over the next two months. ⑶ The risk of an immediate production halt is extremely limited; the impact on production will gradually become apparent over time. ⑷ A geopolitical analyst points out that Moscow wants to project stability and may therefore support a moderate production increase. ⑸ For the Kremlin, maintaining composure and sending a signal of control remains a core strategic consideration. ⑹ Brent crude and WTI crude rose 0.5% to $64.69 and $60.94 per barrel respectively on Friday afternoon. ⑺ The market is weighing supply and demand prospects, with geopolitical factors and production policies jointly influencing price movements. ⑻ The OPEC+ internal coordination mechanism faces a test; Russia's attitude will be a key variable at Sunday's meeting.

[Pound Sterling Shows Oversold Technical Signals, Risk-Reward Ratio for Shorting Worsens] ⑴ The pound has retested the 1.3100 level against the dollar, with a 2.5% drop so far this month, showing significant weakness. ⑵ The market has fully priced in the negative factors for the pound, including concerns about the UK budget and expectations of an unexpected interest rate cut by the central bank. ⑶ Current selling pressure may be driven more by month-end fund flows than by deteriorating fundamental factors. ⑷ The risk-reward ratio for continuing to short at current levels is no longer attractive, and a more cautious strategy is needed. ⑸ The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to 26, the lowest level since October 2023, indicating severe oversold conditions. ⑹ Historical data shows that when the RSI falls below 25, the pound often experiences a technical rebound in the short term. ⑺ Near-term resistance levels to watch are 1.3140 and the 200-day moving average at 1.3248, with key support at the psychological level of 1.3000. ⑻ Technical indicators suggest limited downside potential, but short sellers should be wary of the risk of a rebound triggered by position adjustments.

[A Shift in the Indian Auto Market Landscape: Small Cars to Surpass SUVs as Growth Engine] ⑴ Maruti Suzuki, India's largest automaker, predicts that sales growth of small cars will surpass that of SUVs, stimulated by tax incentives. ⑵ Chairman Bhagava stated that retail growth for small cars, subject to an 18% tax rate, will outpace that of larger vehicles subject to a 40% tax rate. ⑶ India simplified its Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure on September 22, reducing the tax rate for small cars from 28% to 18% while increasing the tax rate for large vehicles to 40%. ⑷ Approximately 70% of Maruti Suzuki's production falls under the lower tax rate, and the company will directly benefit from this policy adjustment. ⑸ Second-quarter net profit increased by 7.3% to 32.9 billion rupees, lower than the market expectation of 35.93 billion rupees, underperforming expectations. ⑹ Operating profit margin contracted to 8.5% from 10.3% in the same period last year, mainly dragged down by rising commodity and marketing costs. (7) Domestic sales remained weak, with domestic sales declining by 4.8% in the first half of the fiscal year starting in April, including a sharp drop of 11.5% in the September quarter. (8) Exports became a bright spot, surging 42.2% to 110,487 units in the first half of the year, and total exports are expected to exceed 400,000 units for the fiscal year. (9) The company's stock price fell 1.6% on Friday, but driven by tax cuts, its year-to-date gain is still 49%, having reached a record high in August. (10) Facing competition from Hyundai and Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki is continuously expanding its SUV product line to maintain its market position.

Federal Reserve's Logan: Inflation is too high and is likely to exceed the 2% target "for a longer period." Inflation is not convincingly moving towards the Fed's 2% target, and the Fed has an obligation to achieve this. He believes a rate cut this week is unnecessary; the economic outlook does not demand it. Unless there is clear evidence of a significant acceleration in the decline of inflation or a rapid cooling of the labor market, another rate cut in December will be unlikely.

The yen rebounded slightly during Friday's European session, with the USD/JPY pair remaining pegged at 154.125, a 4% monthly decline in October, the worst since July. ⑵ Tokyo's core CPI rose 2.8% year-on-year, exceeding expectations. The Bank of Japan held rates steady on Thursday. Political pressure and interest rate differentials combined to push the yen to a record low against the euro. ⑶ The dollar index hovered near a three-month high. Powell's hawkish stance quickly reduced the probability of a December rate cut from 90% to 75%, with risk aversion continuing to weigh on the dollar. ⑷ The European Central Bank held rates steady at 2% for the third consecutive day. The euro traded sideways at $1.1562 on Friday, a 1.4% monthly decline that couldn't stem the dollar's surge. (5) The pound fell another 0.2% to $1.312, extending its monthly decline to 2.3%.

[Caixin Futures: Divergent Trends in Agricultural Product Markets] ⑴ The ample supply of palm oil continues, with Indonesia's palm oil production projected to increase by 10% in 2025. ⑵ Coupled with the weakening of crude oil prices, palm oil futures maintained a narrow range of fluctuation between 8760-8840 yuan. ⑶ The spot price of 24-degree palm oil in Guangzhou fell by 70 yuan to 8620 yuan/ton, with futures trading at a slight premium to spot. ⑷ In the short term, short positions can be initiated at the upper limit of the range, as the declining volume indicates a continued downward trend. ⑸ The trading data shows that some long positions are concentrated on bottom-fishing; short positions near 8850 yuan should be monitored for a profit-taking range of 8500-8600 yuan. ⑹ Improved expectations for US soybean exports have pushed US soybean prices back to previous highs. ⑺ Rising import costs have driven up domestic soybean meal futures prices, with ample soybean supply expected in the fourth quarter. ⑻ However, a supply gap may emerge in the first quarter of next year, and inventory pressure will gradually ease from November onwards. (9) Given rising costs and easing supply pressure, a small long position in soybean meal can be considered. (10) Corn futures have risen sharply, with China Grain Reserves Corporation (Sinograin) purchasing 250,000 tons in the past two days to alleviate supply pressure. (11) However, seasonal selling pressure remains, and downstream feed mills and deep-processing enterprises are reluctant to purchase grain. (12) Maintaining a just-in-time purchasing strategy is recommended, but demand is weak, and the short-term supply easing situation remains unchanged. (13) Short selling is still recommended, as the increase in hog supply is the main long-term contradiction. (14) Theoretical slaughter volume will increase significantly in October, and the supply easing situation may deepen further. (15) The enthusiasm for secondary fattening has weakened, and the decline in spot prices has squeezed the price bubble. (16) Short selling can be considered at opportune times, as the number of newly laying hens in the egg market is not high. (17) Farmers' enthusiasm for culling old hens remains high; attention should be paid to the progress of the production inflection point. (18) In the short term, a wait-and-see approach is recommended.

20:46:25

[Caixin Futures: Divergent Trends in the Energy and Chemical Sector] ⑴ The Trump administration recently canceled the summit in Budapest and imposed sanctions on Russian oil companies, while the EU formally passed its 19th round of sanctions against Russia. ⑵ This may lead to countries like India reducing their purchases of Russian oil. ⑶ The macro environment is bullish, but considering that OPEC+ may implement a slight production increase at its meeting this Sunday, sentiment has shifted towards neutral to bullish. ⑷ The US and EU announced a new round of sanctions against Russia, with the US sanctions against Russia's two largest oil companies triggering a strong reaction. ⑸ Expectations of reduced supply of high-sulfur fuel oil remain, and prices have rebounded following crude oil. ⑹ OPEC+ may implement a slight production increase at its meeting this Sunday, but with positive macroeconomic expectations, the downside for fuel oil may be limited. ⑺ Market sentiment in Shahe has improved recently, with inventories declining and some downstream companies restocking. ⑻ Some manufacturers are selling well, and market transactions are acceptable; glass supply is gradually turning positive year-on-year. ⑼ However, demand is still declining significantly year-on-year, facing considerable pressure, but short-term gains are influenced by easing trade tensions and stronger commodity sentiment. (10) The market showed resilience, and the downside potential for glass futures may be limited. (11) A slightly bullish outlook is recommended, as the domestic soda ash market remained stable with prices fluctuating within a narrow range. (12) Total inventory of domestic soda ash producers was 1.702 million tons this week, an increase of 9,600 tons from Monday. (13) The soda ash operating rate remained stable at 87.44%, but production from the Alashan Phase II plant may be delayed. (14) Short-term coal costs have constrained the decline, and a slightly bullish outlook is recommended. (15) Prices of liquid soda ash and liquid chlorine in Shandong rose, with chlor-alkali profits reaching 627 yuan/ton. (16) Supply is expected to increase next week, and downstream purchasing prices are expected to decline further. (17) Supply remains ample, while downstream deliveries have increased slightly. (18) However, there is no peak season restocking demand for non-aluminum products, inventories are high, and there are no signs of improvement in fundamentals. 18. The market is expected to fluctuate with a slightly weak bias. The spot price in Taicang fell by 33 yuan to 2157 yuan, and the price in the northern Inner Mongolia region fell by 15 yuan to 2005 yuan. 20. The main methanol contract broke down again, significantly dragging down the spot trading atmosphere.

20:45:00

[Caixin Futures: Divergent Trends in Precious Metals and Non-ferrous Metals] ⑴ Market optimism faded, and funds returned to fundamental trading logic. ⑵ Weaker-than-expected earnings reports from US tech stocks triggered a decline, with funds flowing back into gold ETFs, increasing holdings by 4.3 tons. ⑶ New York gold support is at $3940, and resistance is at $4070; domestic gold support is at 900 yuan, and resistance is at 926 yuan. ⑷ The support range for the AU2512 contract has shifted down to 904-910 yuan, with a short-term trading range of 915-926 yuan. ⑸ Trading recommendations: Reduce leverage, strictly control risk, and adopt a defensive buy-on-dips strategy. ⑹ The Fed cut interest rates as expected, but Powell's remarks were hawkish, stating that a December rate cut is "not a certainty." ⑺ Copper prices fell as a result, but domestic and international copper mine disturbances continued, with supply expected to be tight. ⑻ Amid escalating geopolitical tensions, Shanghai copper still has support; maintain a buy-on-dips strategy. (9) Shanghai zinc prices retreated slightly due to hawkish comments, while LME inventory levels remained low. (10) Domestic social inventories decreased slightly but remained high, with export opportunities open and demand stable. (11) Fundamentals are gradually moving towards a tight balance, and Shanghai zinc prices may stabilize and fluctuate. (12) Overall alumina supply and demand remain relatively loose, and the pressure of oversupply has not eased. (13) The rebound is weak given high inventory levels; caution is advised when bottom-fishing. (14) Risks of mining disruptions should be guarded against before the Guinea elections. (15) Aluminum prices were suppressed by hawkish comments, but the overall macroeconomic environment is favorable. (16) Tight scrap aluminum supply and firm prices suggest continued high-level fluctuations in Shanghai aluminum. (17) The strategy is mainly to buy on dips, while lithium carbonate futures remain relatively strong. (18) Strong downstream demand supports prices, and the destocking trend continues. (19) However, the rise is more of a temporary supply-demand mismatch, and the high supply pressure remains unchanged. (20) Excessive optimism about the upside potential of the market is not advisable; attention should be paid to demand and inventory trends.

20:43:38

[Caixin Futures: Divergent Trends in the Ferrous Metals Sector] ⑴ Pig iron production declined due to environmental regulations, but the lifting of production restrictions in Tangshan may boost output. ⑵ Cost support remains in the short term, but the room for improvement in construction material demand is limited, and the peak demand season may have already arrived. ⑶ Overall, the supply and demand drivers for steel are weak, suppressing the upside potential of the market; short-term fluctuations are expected. ⑷ In terms of funding, both long and short positions in the top 20 rebar 01 contract decreased, with roughly equal magnitude. ⑸ Both long and short positions in the hot-rolled coil 01 contract increased, with short positions increasing slightly more, resulting in a slightly bearish change in open interest. ⑹ Iron ore port inventories continued to rise, indicating a weakening of supply and demand, but pig iron production disruptions persist. ⑺ Steel mills maintain a low inventory strategy, and restocking expectations support short-term high-level fluctuations. ⑻ Iron ore shipments are expected to remain high in November, and pig iron production still has room to decline. ⑼ The medium-term weak expectation pattern remains unchanged, and there is a risk of valuation decline; shorting is recommended on opportune occasions. ⑽ Coking coal supply remains tight due to safety inspections, environmental protection, and underground factors. (11) Downstream buyers are actively purchasing, and low coal mine inventories support stronger spot prices. (12) Macroeconomic disturbances have triggered some profit-taking, increasing market volatility, but the adjustment range is limited. (13) Strategically, maintain a buy-on-dips approach, avoiding chasing highs; short positions have been reduced more significantly. (14) Coking coal production is suppressed by environmental maintenance, and rising costs are driving expectations of a third round of price increases. (15) Steel demand is nearing its peak, and rising raw material prices may compress steel mill profits. (16) Coking plant profit improvement has limited room; a long coal, short coking coal strategy can be maintained. (17) Manganese silicon plant inventories continue to increase; supply and demand drivers are weak, but expectations of reduced manganese ore supply are rising. (18) The battle between bulls and bears intensifies; awaiting a breakout from the month-long trading range. (19) Funding has increased long positions more significantly, with a generally positive change in open interest.
