Group 1 - Recent international crude oil prices are on the rise, driven by geopolitical signals, particularly the ongoing tensions in Venezuela, leading to concerns over supply stability and resulting in five consecutive price increases, with Brent crude futures approaching $62 per barrel and WTI crude stabilizing around $58 per barrel [1] - The domestic refined oil market has not been able to reverse the trend of price adjustments due to the previous low international oil prices, resulting in a decrease in retail prices. As of December 24, the average price of reference crude oil was $60.21 per barrel, with a change rate of 2.05%, indicating a potential increase of 90 yuan per ton for domestic gasoline and diesel prices [1] - The next price adjustment window is set for January 6, with the new change rate extending into a positive range, supported by OPEC+'s decision to halt production increases starting January 2026, along with seasonal demand during the Christmas period in Europe and the U.S. [1] Group 2 - The domestic gasoline and diesel market is currently experiencing a balance of "international favorable support and domestic demand pressure," with prices remaining stable but slightly increasing, although the market remains subdued due to weak demand [2] - The northern regions are seeing a seasonal decline in diesel consumption as outdoor construction and mining projects halt, while southern regions have limited support from urgent demand due to ongoing projects. Gasoline demand is also weak, with only marginal improvements expected from the upcoming New Year holiday [2] - The overall market sentiment is cautious, with traders and end-users adopting a "just-in-time" purchasing strategy, leading to low willingness for large orders and resulting in limited market transactions [2] Group 3 - Looking ahead, the domestic gasoline and diesel market is expected to remain in a supply-demand balancing act, with international concerns about economic prospects and geopolitical issues in Venezuela providing support for oil prices [3] - As the New Year and Spring Festival approach, there may be a gradual increase in demand for transportation and logistics, potentially leading to slight releases in end-user replenishment needs, although refinery operating rates are expected to remain stable [3] - Short-term domestic gasoline and diesel prices are likely to remain stable with slight increases, and market activity may improve marginally with the release of holiday demand, although the overall recovery may be limited [3]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles highlights a significant rebound in nickel prices due to Indonesia's plans to drastically cut nickel ore supply quotas and potential adjustments to mineral pricing rules, with LME nickel reaching a peak of $15,980 per ton and Shanghai nickel hitting 130,880 yuan per ton, both marking an 8-month high [1][2] - Indonesia's nickel mining policy has reignited bullish sentiment in the nickel market, with the Indonesian Nickel Miners Association (APNI) announcing a target of approximately 250 million tons for nickel ore production in 2026, a substantial decrease from the 379 million tons set for 2025, aimed at preventing further price declines [1][2] - The tightening of nickel ore quotas is expected to have a significant impact on the nickel market balance for 2026, potentially reducing surplus expectations and supporting price recovery, especially if cobalt is treated as an independent commodity subject to royalties [2][3] Group 2 - Despite the short-term surge in nickel prices, the fundamental oversupply situation remains unchanged, with high inventories and weak demand persisting, as evidenced by LME nickel stocks reaching 253,000 tons and domestic refined nickel inventories at 59,000 tons [3][4] - The current market dynamics show a discrepancy between the strong price performance and the underlying oversupply, making the implementation of Indonesia's policies a critical factor for future price movements [4] - Analysts suggest that while the sentiment is positive and prices may continue to rise due to cost expectations, the fundamental oversupply remains a clear risk, and market participants should be cautious of potential shifts in sentiment [4]

导语：洋浦港作为区域国际集装箱枢纽港，是海南自由贸易港最大的海运对外开放口岸。12月18日，海 南自由贸易港全岛封关运作正式启动，封关首日承载着第一批"零关税"石化原辅料的运输船，顺利靠泊 洋浦国投油储码头。 凭借零关税优势，海南尤其是拥有深水良港的洋浦，有望迅速崛起为面向中国华南乃至整个东南亚的丙 烷集散、分拨与贸易中心。国际贸易商可以将采购自中东、美国等地的丙烷，以便宜的成本卸储于海南 的低温罐中，再依据国内外市场价格变化，灵活选择在本地进行深加工，或将原料转口、分销至国内两 广地区或海外市场。 综上所述，海南封关通过"双重免税"政策，为丙烷深加工（特别是PDH）产业打造了具有强大国际竞争 力的成本优势，将直接加速相关PDH项目在海南的集聚。并且海南正从丙烷贸易的"末梢"，向全球性 的"采购、仓储和加工中心"升级。这不仅能改变中国的丙烷贸易版图，未来还可能影响整个亚太地区。 （金联创液化气分析师：徐瑞雪） 但更大的优势在于"二线口岸"（海南与内地之间）的加工增值免税政策。根据规定，鼓励企业利用"零 关税"进口料件开展深加工，累计加工增值率达到30%以上，其产品进入内地可再次免征进口关税。据 海南日报报道， ...

当地时间24日，市场避险情绪升温、黄金ETF持仓量增加以及投资者对美联储降息前景的乐观预期等因 素，推动国际金价继续上涨。24日亚洲交易时段，伦敦现货黄金价格盘中突破每盎司4500美元，刷新历史 纪录。 与此同时，国际银价也维持涨势。纽约白银期货以及伦敦现货白银价格均升破每盎司72美元关口，同样创 下历史新高。 美联储降息预期升温 抬高贵金属资产吸引力 近期，国际金价、银价齐创新高，导致金价和银价双双走高的驱动因素是什么？ 在投资者避险情绪高涨的背景下，今年以金银为代表的贵金属成了表现最亮眼的资产之一。 明年二月到期的COMEX黄金期货今年迄今为止已经上涨超70%。而明年三月到期的COMEX白银期货，今 年以来已经上涨约137%，涨幅几乎是黄金的两倍。 原因之一，是在上周一系列美国经济数据公布之后，市场开始加大对2026年美联储降息的押注，目前普遍 预期明年可能会降息两次。而一旦利率继续走低，债券以及货币市场基金中现金类资产的收益率就会被进 一步压缩，这也在相对意义上，抬高了黄金、白银等实物资产的吸引力。 另一方面，当前全球仍旧处于变革时期，无论是全球货币政策周期的转向宽松（主要体现在美联储今年连 续三次降息 ...
