Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the document. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The economic growth slowed down in 2025 with a decline in quarterly GDP growth rates. Consumption was stable supported by policies, net - export performance exceeded expectations, and investment was the weakest contributor. The economic logic changed from high real growth with deflation in the first half to deflation repair with output deceleration in the second half. The "anti - involution" policy was a major influencing factor [2][5][90]. - In 2026, the inventory cycle is expected to recover, with the bottom likely in the second quarter. The economy will show a pattern of low in the first half and high in the second half, and the internal driving force will strengthen. The easing of Sino - US trade tensions and the slowdown of de - globalization will improve external demand. The real output growth rate will rise steadily, and supply - demand will re - balance [2][5][90]. - The government is likely to set the target of the annual real GDP growth rate at around 5.0% in 2026. Deflation will gradually turn into weak inflation, and the nominal GDP growth rate will improve significantly, which will be the foundation for the improvement of corporate revenue, profits, fiscal revenue, and household income in the long - term [2][5][90]. - The commodity market will continue to rebound in an oscillatory manner in 2026. In the first half, supply constraints and the "anti - involution" narrative will boost new energy and non - ferrous metals. In the second half, the structural market may turn into a systematic one, with a more widespread rise in prices and a reduction in the differences among industrial products. The rebound height of black products depends on the real estate situation. The long - term upward trend of precious metals remains unchanged [2][87][91]. Summary According to the Table of Contents Part 1: Economic Highlights in 2026 May Lie in Nominal Growth 1. External Disturbances End, the Cycle Hits Bottom, and Supply - Demand Will Re - balance - In 2025, industrial added - value growth was stable, and nominal output first declined and then rebounded. The economic growth logic in the second half was different from that in the first half. High - tech and equipment manufacturing industries had the fastest growth rates. The semiconductor industry output was concentrated upstream. The main problem was the imbalance between supply and demand due to weak external and internal demand [15]. - The inventory cycle is expected to recover in 2026, with the bottom likely in the second quarter. The economy will show a pattern of low in the first half and high in the second half. The easing of Sino - US trade tensions will improve external demand. High - tech manufacturing will remain strong, while traditional industries will have limited upward space [15][16]. 2. Weakening Financial Support Leads to a Temporary Slowdown in Investment Growth - In 2025, the investment growth rate continued to slow down, becoming a major drag on domestic demand. By November, the real cumulative year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment decreased to 1.5%, and the nominal year - on - year growth rate dropped to - 1.7% [19]. - Infrastructure investment was weaker than expected, mainly affected by the amount and timing of funds. Manufacturing investment was generally stable, supported by monetary and fiscal policies. The negative impact of Sino - US trade conflicts on manufacturing investment confidence will gradually weaken. Real estate investment was the main drag, with a cumulative decline of nearly 15%. The real estate market sales were poor, and the industry's capital chain was weak. In the long - term, the real estate industry is difficult to return to the upward cycle [19][20][22]. 3. Subsidies Are the Main Support for Consumption, and Income Should Be Concerned in the Long - Term - In 2025, consumption growth first accelerated and then slowed down. The main influencing factor was the subsidy policy, with a total of 300 billion yuan invested, double that of 2024. The decline in consumption growth was mainly due to the reduction in subsidies. The long - term consumption trend depends on income growth, including passive and active income improvement and wage income improvement. Endogenous consumption repair may occur in the second half of 2026 [24]. 4. The Foreign Trade Environment Will Improve in 2026 - In 2025, China's exports exceeded expectations. Sino - US trade was affected by the trade war, with four stages of tariff adjustments. The overall export structure showed an upward trend in emerging industries and a downward trend in traditional labor - intensive industries. The trade surplus continued to reach new highs [28]. - In 2026, exports are expected to maintain growth, especially in the second half. Imports will gradually accelerate with the domestic inventory - building process. The contribution of foreign trade to the economy will increase [28]. Part 2: Deflation Will Turn into Weak Inflation, Increasing Support for Nominal Growth 1. The Driving Logic of CPI Changes, and Core CPI Rises Steadily - In 2025, CPI fluctuated around 0, and core CPI continued to rise, reaching about 1.2% in the fourth quarter. Food prices were mainly affected by seasonality, and pork prices had a negative impact on CPI. Oil prices also dragged down CPI. Core CPI reflected the structural changes in the domestic consumer market and the rise in international gold prices [45]. - In 2026, the pig cycle will have a small positive impact on food prices, and oil price drag will decrease. Core CPI will continue to improve with economic recovery, and its central value may rise to around 0.5% [45]. 2. The Low Point of PPI Has Passed, and Deflation Will Turn into Weak Inflation - In 2025, PPI first declined and then rebounded. The main factors were imported deflation and industrial supply - demand imbalance. High - tech manufacturing prices were stable, which was a key factor in stabilizing PPI. In the second half, the negative factors eased [48]. - In 2026, the global economy will improve cyclically, and PPI is likely to turn positive. The new price - increasing momentum will gradually strengthen, and PPI will change from a drag to a driver of the GDP deflator [48]. Part 3: Loose Fiscal Policy Remains the Pillar, and "Anti - Involution" Enhances Economic Resilience 1. Loose Monetary Policy, and the Risk - Free Yield May Remain Stable - In 2025, the central bank's monetary policy was loose, with interest rate and reserve requirement ratio cuts in May. Government financing was the main factor affecting macro - liquidity in the second and third quarters, and "anti - involution" supported the liquidity of upstream and mid - stream enterprises. The growth rate of broad social financing slowed down in the fourth quarter [54]. - In 2026, fiscal increment will still have the strongest impact on macro - liquidity. The central bank is expected to cut interest rates by 10BP and reserve requirement ratio by 25BP. The risk - free yield may remain volatile [54]. 2. Budgetary Revenue Stabilizes, and Broad Fiscal Policy Shows Structural Improvement - In 2025, fiscal revenue and expenditure growth rates recovered. Tax revenue was stable and increased, while land transfer revenue was low, dragging down the broad fiscal situation. Fiscal expenditure on infrastructure was affected by policies, and the fiscal deficit increased significantly [60]. - In 2026, fiscal policy will remain proactive. Broad fiscal policy will show structural improvement, mainly driven by the improvement of nominal growth and accelerated net financing. The degree of real estate recovery in the second half will be a decisive factor [61]. 3. "Anti - Involution" Is the Largest Policy Increment and Will Continue to Affect the Economy - The "anti - involution" policy was introduced in 2025 to address deflation, supply - demand imbalance, and local government incentive mechanism problems. It mainly focused on emerging industries with over - capacity and price wars [69][70]. - In 2026, the implementation of "anti - involution" policies will continue, improving corporate revenues, especially for upstream enterprises. The policy will focus on optimizing the supply - side structure, and future demand - side policies are important to watch [71]. Part 4: The Renminbi Will Maintain a Relatively Strong Position Against the US Dollar - In 2025, the RMB exchange rate was generally slightly bullish. Against the US dollar, it showed an appreciating trend with a three - stage pattern. The main reasons were the increase in foreign - related net receipts and bank customer net settlement of foreign exchange, as well as the central bank's policy to maintain exchange rate stability [76]. - In 2026, the RMB is likely to continue to appreciate against the US dollar, with the high point expected around 6.7. However, the appreciation space of the exchange rate index is limited due to factors such as stable foreign trade [76][77]. Part 5: The Commodity Market Will Continue to Rebound in an Oscillatory Manner - In 2025, most domestic commodity futures prices declined, with increased differentiation. In the first and second quarters, prices fell, and in the third quarter, they rebounded due to the "anti - involution" policy. In the fourth quarter, most prices oscillated or declined again. Different commodity sectors had different performances [84]. - In 2026, the commodity market will continue to rebound. In the first half, new energy and non - ferrous metals will be boosted, and in the second half, the market may turn into a systematic one. The rebound height of black products depends on the real estate situation, and precious metals will maintain an upward trend [87][91]. Part 6: Full - Text Summary and Outlook for 2026 - The economic situation in 2025 was weak, with consumption as the main support, net - export exceeding expectations, and investment being the weakest. The economic logic changed in the second half of the year, and the "anti - involution" policy had a significant impact [89][90]. - In 2026, the economy is expected to improve with the recovery of the inventory cycle, the easing of Sino - US trade tensions, and the improvement of external demand. The government may set the real GDP growth target at around 5.0%. Deflation will turn into weak inflation, and the commodity market will continue to rebound [90][91].

Group 1: Report's Core View - In 2025, the overall commodity market showed a high - opening and low - closing trend. Agricultural products were less affected by macro - liquidity but pressured by cyclical factors. The downstream of the breeding industry chain led the decline, and pig prices hit a new low in Q3 2025. The industry focused on cost - reduction and efficiency - improvement, with no significant increase in absolute production capacity, but the production efficiency of sows improved [2]. - Looking ahead to H1 2026, it's difficult for feed costs to continue to decline. As the de - stocking of pig production capacity deepens, pig prices are expected to rise. It is recommended to buy contracts after 2607 below the breeding cost or go long on market volatility in Q2 [3]. Group 2: Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 3: Summary by Directory Part 1: Review of 2025 Pig Futures and Spot Prices 1.

1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry The provided content does not mention the investment rating for the polyester industry. 2. Core Views of the Report - In 2025, the polyester industry chain was affected by factors such as macro - sentiment fluctuations, tariff conflicts, cost oscillations, device changes, and weak demand, leading to intensified price fluctuations and a further downward shift in the price center, hitting a historical low since 2007 [2][21]. - In 2026, the cost is expected to maintain relatively weak wide - range fluctuations. The oversupply of crude oil will put further downward pressure on oil prices, with Brent crude oil mainly fluctuating in the range of $50 - 75 per barrel [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 2025 Polyester Industry Chain Market Review - The price of the polyester industry chain fluctuated significantly in 2025, showing different trends in each quarter due to various factors such as cost, tariffs, and device maintenance. For example, in the first quarter, it showed a trend of rising first and then falling; in the second quarter, it was affected by tariffs and device maintenance, showing a deep V - shaped trend [21][22][23]. 3.2 Crude Oil: Supply Surplus and Price Pressure - In 2025, crude oil prices continued to decline under the pressure of continuous production increase, but were also affected by US tariff policies and geopolitical conflicts, resulting in sharp price fluctuations. Brent crude oil fell below $59 per barrel, and WTI crude oil fell below $56 per barrel, both hitting new lows since February 2021 [29]. - In 2026, crude oil demand is expected to grow slowly, and supply growth will slow down, but there will still be an oversupply situation, and oil prices will continue to be under pressure. It is expected that Brent crude oil will mainly fluctuate in the range of $50 - 75 per barrel [34]. 3.3 PX: Capacity Increase and Supply - Demand Expected to Be Tight First and Then Loose - **Market Review**: In 2025, PX prices were affected by multiple factors and fluctuated widely, with the price center shifting downwards. In the first half of the year, prices declined, and in the second half, they showed a relatively strong performance, and the PX - Nap spread strengthened [45]. - **Cost Analysis**: The cost of PX is expected to be relatively weak. Naphtha supply and demand are expected to be relatively loose, and the cracking spread is expected to decline to the range of $50 - 100 per ton. The supply - demand of MX is also expected to be loose, and the PX - MX spread will remain at a relatively strong level above $80 per ton [58][66]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: PX capacity expansion is coming to an end. In 2026, the supply - demand structure is expected to be tight first and then loose. The supply - demand will be relatively tight in the first half of the year, especially in the second quarter during the maintenance season, and the PX - Nap spread is expected to widen [79][114]. - **Price Forecast and Operation Suggestions**: PX prices are expected to be relatively strong, especially in the second quarter, but the absolute price will still be restricted by cost. The main price fluctuation range is 5400 - 7700 yuan per ton. It is recommended to buy on dips and seize short - selling opportunities. For arbitrage, it is recommended to go long on the basis, with a target of 300 - 600 yuan per ton, and go long on the PX05 - 09 spread, with a target of 100 - 200 yuan per ton [116]. 3.4 PTA: Stable Supply and Increasing Demand, Supply - Demand Structure to Improve - **Market Review**: In 2025, PTA prices fluctuated widely, with the price center shifting downwards. The market was affected by factors such as trade conflicts, cost fluctuations, and anti - involution [127]. - **Supply - Demand Analysis**: In 2026, there is no new PTA capacity plan, but downstream polyester capacity will continue to expand, which will improve the PTA supply - demand structure.
