1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - If stagflation arrives, the recommended asset allocation is to hold cash and gold, and wait for opportunities to invest in stocks and bonds. Stocks may decline due to rising costs and recession expectations, while US bonds' yield growth may slow down in the later stage. Commodities may first rise and then fall, with gold being relatively stable. The US dollar index may perform strongly [2][8][15]. - Historically, global stagflation often accompanies high oil prices. Once stagflation forms, stock and bond prices may decline due to rising prices and tight monetary policies. However, the decline this time may be less severe [11][15][28]. - The pricing logic of gold has changed in recent years. New demands from global order changes and government debt over - issuance determine the gold price, so the impact of interest rate hikes on gold is limited [11][30]. - The US dollar may perform well, benefiting from cash - holding demand, interest rate hikes, and rising oil prices [11][34]. 3. Summary by Directory Global Stagflation History Review - **Relationship between Oil Prices and Stagflation**: Historically, high and long - term oil prices often lead to global stagflation. For example, after the Fourth Middle East War, the Iran - Iraq War, and the Russia - Ukraine conflict, stagflation occurred. During the Fourth Middle East War, the oil price rose from $2.7 per barrel before the war to $13 per barrel in early 1974; during the Iran - Iraq War, the oil price rose from $33.6 per barrel before the war to $40 per barrel within two months; during the Russia - Ukraine conflict, the oil price rose from over $80 per barrel before the war to over $120 per barrel in June 2022 [11][17][20]. - **Asset Performance after Stagflation**: - **Fourth Middle East War**: Global stocks and bonds fell, while commodities were strong. The US federal funds rate rose, leading to a global economic slowdown. Stocks generally declined, long - term bond yields rose, and most commodities increased, except for copper which declined significantly after the economic slowdown. The US dollar index benefited from rising interest rates [20]. - **Iran - Iraq War**: Stocks, bonds, and commodities were all affected, while the US dollar index was outstanding. Stocks had already declined significantly before the war, so the decline this time was less severe. High inflation dragged down the bond market, and commodity prices fell due to economic recession and high interest rates. The new international monetary system made the gold price worse, while the US dollar index rose [22][23]. - **Russia - Ukraine Conflict**: Stocks, bonds, and commodities were all damaged, while the US dollar performed well. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to control inflation, causing stocks to decline again. The bond markets in Europe and the US declined, while the Chinese bond market benefited from loose policies. Commodities generally fell, with gold rising first and then falling, and industrial metals declining due to recession expectations. Only the US dollar index benefited from interest rate hikes [25]. Global Asset Performance - **Overview**: In the latest week (March 2 - 8), crude oil was the only asset that performed well, driving soybean meal to rise slightly. The US dollar index rebounded due to cash demand and rising oil prices, while silver plunged and the equity market was generally weak. Crude oil was strong because of supply shortages caused by the Iran - US conflict, and silver led the decline due to inflation expectations and a strong US dollar [37][43]. - **Specific Asset Performance**: - **Stock Market**: Global major stock indexes fell across the board, with emerging market indexes, the French CAC, and the German DAX falling by more than 6%. A - share styles were divided, with large - cap and value stocks performing better than small - cap and growth stocks. The Shanghai Composite 50 was basically flat, while the CSI 300 and CSI 1000 fell by more than 1% [46]. - **Bond Market**: Global bond yields rose significantly due to potential inflation pressure. The yield of the Brazilian 10 - year government bond rose by more than 50BP, and the yields of 10 - year government bonds in France, the US, and Germany rose by more than 10BP. The yield of the Chinese 10 - year government bond fell slightly [49]. - **Foreign Exchange Market**: The US dollar index was strong, and the Brazilian real depreciated the most against the US dollar. The Chinese yuan appreciated against the US dollar, and non - US currencies were under pressure, with both emerging and developed market exchange rate indexes falling [49]. - **Commodity Market**: The commodity market was divided. Energy prices rose, with crude oil soaring and natural gas rising for the first time in six weeks. Precious metals and industrial metals performed poorly due to a strong US dollar and asset re - allocation. Aluminum rose by more than 6%, and agricultural products showed mixed performance [53]. - **Volatility**: Commodity volatility was close to historical extremes, with the implied volatility of precious metals and crude oil exceeding the 95% historical range. Stock index volatility was relatively high, and the volatility of the foreign exchange and bond markets increased compared to the previous week [56].

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" and maintained [10] Core Insights - Recent geopolitical conflicts, particularly the US-Iran conflict, have significantly impacted air freight routes between Asia and Europe, leading to a systemic disruption of Middle Eastern air transport hubs. Flight volumes in key nodes like Doha and Dubai have drastically reduced, with a decline of approximately 60% in takeoff and landing frequencies at 20 major airports in the region. This has forced a large-scale rerouting of Asia-Europe air routes, resulting in extreme supply tightness and an initial increase in air freight prices in Europe [2][5] - The closure of Middle Eastern airspace has intensified capacity scarcity, which is expected to exacerbate the mismatch between air freight supply and demand. Future air freight price trends should be closely monitored, as air freight may become one of the most benefited segments in transportation. The report is optimistic about leading air freight companies such as Eastern Airlines Logistics and comprehensive logistics leader SF Holding, anticipating simultaneous increases in volume and price. Additionally, it suggests paying attention to freight forwarding leaders like China National Foreign Trade and Huamao Logistics [2][7] Summary by Sections Geopolitical Impact on Air Freight - The Middle Eastern air transport system has faced severe disruptions due to geopolitical conflicts, leading to a significant reduction in operational capacity for Middle Eastern airlines. Qatar Airways, the world's second-largest cargo airline, has been severely restricted, with routes from Doha remaining suspended. Other airlines like Etihad and Emirates are recovering slowly, resulting in a dramatic contraction in regional supply [5][6] - European airlines have been forced to reroute to the "Northern Corridor," increasing flight durations and reducing turnaround efficiency, which is a key driver of rising global air freight rates. As of March 8, air freight rates from Central Europe to the Middle East and Europe have increased by 53.7% and 13.7% respectively, while rates for Southeast Asia to Europe have surged by 51.1% [5][6] Market Dynamics and Opportunities - Chinese airlines are expected to benefit from the current situation, as they can fly directly over Russian airspace, providing a cost and efficiency advantage compared to European and American airlines that must reroute. This advantage may accelerate market share expansion for Chinese logistics companies amid escalating tensions in the Middle East [6] - The demand for air freight remains robust, particularly for high-end manufacturing and consumer electronics, which are less sensitive to price fluctuations. The industry has a fuel cost share of about 15%, and fluctuations in oil prices can be effectively passed down to downstream customers due to fuel surcharge mechanisms in freight contracts. Predictions indicate that global air freight volume and wide-body aircraft numbers will grow at a rate of 2.4% by 2026, maintaining a tight balance between supply and demand [6][7] Price Trends and Logistics Data - Air freight prices have seen significant increases, particularly in the European and Southeast Asian markets, driven by tightened capacity in the Middle East. For the week of March 3 to March 9, air freight price indices for various routes showed substantial increases, with Hong Kong to London rising by 8.7% and Singapore by 47.6% [8] - The volume of express delivery services has shown stable growth, with a year-on-year increase of 1.0% in the week of March 2 to March 8, and a cumulative growth rate of 5.8% expected by 2026 [8]
