Report Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating. Core View - In the context of tariff frictions, the overall driving force is weak, and cotton prices are expected to remain weak [30]. Summary by Directory International Cotton Market Analysis - In the 2024/25 season, the global supply is generally loose. The global cotton production is estimated to increase to 26.37 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.74 million tons, mainly due to a significant increase in China's cotton production. The global cotton consumption is 25.41 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 490,000 tons, mainly due to the obvious increase in cotton consumption in countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Thailand. The global cotton ending inventory in the 2024/25 season is expected to decrease by 20,000 tons from the previous month's estimate, and increase by 910,000 tons year - on - year [2]. - The supply of US cotton is loose, but there is an expectation of a decline in the future planting area. The 2024/25 US cotton production is expected to be 3.14 million tons, with little change from the previous month and a year - on - year increase of 510,000 tons. The ending inventory is expected to be 1.07 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 380,000 tons. In March 2025, the estimated cotton planting area in the US is 9.867 million acres, a year - on - year decrease of 12% [5]. Domestic Cotton Fundamentals - China's cotton production in 2024 exceeded expectations. The single - yield reached a record high of 2,171.6 kg/ha, a year - on - year increase of about 7.8%. The total national production is estimated to be 6.84 million tons. It is expected that the cotton planting area in China will increase by 0.8% in 2025, but the single - yield may decline, and the production will also decrease year - on - year [8]. - As of the end of February 2025, China's national cotton commercial inventory was 5.51 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 140,000 tons, and the industrial inventory was 930,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 40,000 tons. Both inventories are at the highest level in the same period of history [10][11]. - As of the end of February 2025, the yarn inventory of domestic textile enterprises was 22.32 days, an increase of 0.6 days from the previous month and 3.6 days year - on - year. The grey fabric inventory was 29.43 days, a decrease of 1.1 days from the previous month and an increase of 2.2 days year - on - year [15]. China's Textile and Apparel Demand - According to customs data, from January to February 2025, China's textile and apparel exports decreased by 4.5% year - on - year. The US has imposed high - tariff policies on China, and China has also counter - imposed tariffs. China's textile exports are expected to decline by about 10% [19]. - From January to February 2025, the retail sales of clothing, footwear, hats, and knitted textiles in China increased by 3.3% year - on - year, but the growth rate is still low [22]. Cost and Profit - The current domestic spot yarn - cotton price difference is around 6,200 yuan/ton, at a historically low level. In 2024, the yarn - cotton price difference was in the range of 6,000 - 6,600 yuan/ton, and downstream textile enterprises suffered large losses for a long time [26]. - The purchase price of seed cotton this season is 6.3 yuan/kg, and the corresponding cotton cost is around 14,500 - 15,000 yuan/ton, and the futures market has been at a discount [28]. Trading Logic - From the perspective of the USDA balance sheet, the world is in a stocking cycle in the 2024/25 season, which is a medium - and long - term negative factor for cotton prices. Globally, Brazilian cotton has the lowest cost, about 60 cents. In a period of oversupply, global cotton prices may approach the Brazilian planting cost. However, the expected 12% decrease in the US planting area in the new season will also affect cotton prices [29]. - Domestically, the current supply far exceeds expectations, industrial and commercial inventories are at a high level, downstream yarn and grey fabric inventories are also high, and downstream profits are low. In terms of demand, the US high - tariff policy on China and China's counter - measures will have a long - term impact on cotton demand, and China's textile exports are expected to decline further [29].

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views - Tariffs have a significant impact on various markets, leading to increased market volatility and uncertainty [6][9]. - Despite short - term challenges, the long - term prospects of Chinese equity assets remain positive [9]. - Gold's long - term value is still promising due to factors such as global recession risks and potential monetary policy easing [11]. - Different commodities have different short - term and long - term outlooks based on their supply - demand fundamentals and cost factors [13][15][17]. Summary by Category Bonds - **Treasury Bonds**: On the previous trading day, treasury bond futures closed up across the board. The 30 - year, 10 - year, 5 - year, and 2 - year main contracts rose by 1.79%, 0.56%, 0.34%, and 0.13% respectively. The central bank conducted 935 billion yuan of reverse repurchase operations, with a net withdrawal of 301.7 billion yuan. Tariffs are significantly positive for treasury bond futures, but given the relatively low yield and the stable recovery of the Chinese economy, caution is advised. It is expected that the volatility will increase [5][6]. Stock Index Futures - **Stock Index Futures**: On the previous trading day, stock index futures fell across the board. The main contracts of IF, IH, IC, and IM fell by 10.00%, 8.20%, 10.00%, and 10.00% respectively. The central bank's move to increase holdings of ETFs is positive, but tariffs disrupt the economic recovery rhythm. It is expected that stock index futures will face pressure, but due to low valuations and policy hedging, short - term avoidance is considered, and opportunities to go long can be awaited [8][9]. Precious Metals - **Precious Metals**: On the previous trading day, the main contracts of gold and silver fell. China's gold reserves increased for the fifth consecutive month. After the implementation of tariffs, precious metals first rose and then fell. The long - term value of gold is still optimistic, and it is advisable to consider going long after the market stabilizes [11]. Base Metals - **Steel Products (Rebar, Hot - Rolled Coil)**: On the previous trading day, rebar and hot - rolled coil futures fell sharply. Tariffs and weak demand in the real estate industry put pressure on prices, but macro - policies and peak - season expectations may provide support. The valuation is low, and investors can wait and see or engage in intraday trading with light positions [13]. - **Iron Ore**: On the previous trading day, iron ore futures fell. Although tariffs have an impact, the increase in iron ore demand and the decline in port inventory support prices. The valuation is relatively high, and investors can wait and see or engage in intraday trading with light positions [15]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: On the previous trading day, coking coal and coke futures fell. Tariffs affect the market, but the demand for coking coal is improving, and the fundamentals of coke are also showing signs of improvement. The medium - term weakness remains, and investors can wait and see or engage in intraday trading with light positions [18]. - **Ferroalloys**: On the previous trading day, manganese silicon and silicon iron fell. The supply of manganese ore may be disrupted, and the demand for ferroalloys is weak. The high inventory puts pressure on the market. For manganese silicon, deep out - of - the - money call options can be considered, and for silicon iron, short - sellers can consider exiting [20][21]. Energy - **Crude Oil**: On the previous trading day, INE crude oil hit the daily limit down. Trade frictions affect the trend of crude oil. It is expected that the price will be dragged down, but it will be supported at around $60. It is advisable to wait and see [22][23]. - **Fuel Oil**: On the previous trading day, fuel oil followed crude oil and rose first and then fell. The implementation of tariffs by the US will have a negative impact on the global shipping market and fuel oil [25][26]. Rubber - **Synthetic Rubber**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of synthetic rubber hit the daily limit down. Tariffs have a negative impact on the cost and demand. The raw material price is falling, and the processing is in a loss. It is expected to be weak in the short term [27]. - **Natural Rubber**: On the previous trading day, the main contracts of natural rubber and 20 - grade rubber hit the daily limit down. Tariffs impact the market from multiple aspects. In the short term, there is no upward drive, but there may be a technical rebound. In the long term, it depends on global trade policies and industrial chain restructuring [29]. Chemicals - **PVC**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of PVC fell. Tariffs have little impact on PVC imports and exports. The market is expected to continue the pattern of "weak reality vs. policy expectations". Spring maintenance and export resilience provide short - term support, but high inventory and weak real - estate demand are still pressures [31]. - **Urea**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of urea fell. The market is in a weak adjustment, with a loose supply - demand pattern. Cost support may limit the decline. It is expected to fluctuate before the start of summer fertilizer demand [34]. - **PX**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of PX hit the daily limit down. The decline in PX load and the increase in PTA start - up support the market, but the collapse of the cost of crude oil has a negative impact. It is expected to follow the cost and be weak in the short term [37]. - **PTA**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of PTA hit the daily limit down. The supply and demand fundamentals have little contradiction, but the sharp decline in crude oil prices may lead to a significant correction. Caution is advised [38]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of ethylene glycol fell. High inventory and weak demand due to tariffs put pressure on the price. It is expected to be under pressure in the short term [40]. - **Short - Fiber**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of short - fiber hit the daily limit down. The demand at the terminal is improving limitedly, and the cost support is weak. It is expected to follow the cost in the short term [41]. - **Bottle - Chip**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of bottle - chip hit the daily limit down. The sharp decline in raw material prices and the lack of supply - demand drivers make it expected to follow the cost and be weak [43]. - **Soda Ash**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of soda ash fell. The supply is increasing, the inventory is rising, and the demand is weak. The market is mainly demand - driven in the short term [44]. - **Glass**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of glass fell. The production line is at a low level, and the market sentiment is weak due to tariffs [45]. - **Caustic Soda**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of caustic soda fell. The supply may have elasticity, but the price is difficult to be significantly supported due to inventory accumulation. It is expected to fluctuate [46]. - **Paper Pulp**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of paper pulp fell. The inventory is rising, and the downstream start - up is weak. The market may be weak and volatile in the short term due to tariff news [47]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: On the previous trading day, the main contract of lithium carbonate fell. The supply is increasing, the demand is weakening, and the inventory is rising. It is expected to be weak [48]. Agricultural Products - **Soybean Oil and Soybean Meal**: On the previous trading day, soybean meal rose, and soybean oil fell. The supply of soybeans is expected to be abundant, but tariffs may cause short - term over - reaction. For soybean meal, long - holders can consider taking profits, and for soybean oil, waiting and seeing is advisable [57]. - **Palm Oil**: On the previous trading day, palm oil fell. The inventory in Malaysia is expected to increase, and the import in China has decreased. It is advisable to wait and see [59]. - **Rapeseed Meal and Rapeseed Oil**: The impact of tariffs on rapeseed meal is greater than that on rapeseed oil. The supply of rapeseed meal in the near - term may be affected more. It is advisable to consider the opportunity to widen the spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal [61]. - **Cotton**: On the previous trading day, domestic cotton fell. Tariffs disrupt the global economy, and the supply is sufficient while the demand is weakening. It is advisable to consider shorting after a rebound [64]. - **Sugar**: On the previous trading day, sugar fell. The Brazilian sugar - cane crushing progress is slow, and the Indian sugar production is lower than expected. In China, the supply pressure is not large. It is advisable to wait and see [67]. - **Apple**: On the previous trading day, apple futures oscillated. The cancellation of a delivery warehouse is positive, and the consumption is better than expected. With low inventory, the price is expected to be strong, and going long after a pull - back can be considered [70]. - **Pig**: On the previous trading day, the pig price was stable with minor adjustments. The supply is expected to increase slightly, and the demand is in the off - season. Short - term waiting and seeing is advisable, and opportunities to go short at high prices can be awaited after the short - term sentiment subsides [73]. - **Egg**: On the previous trading day, egg prices fell. The supply is increasing, and the demand is in the off - season. After the short - term market sentiment is released, opportunities can be observed [75]. - **Corn**: On the previous trading day, corn futures rose. The supply pressure still exists in the short term, but the demand is increasing slightly. If the market sentiment drives the price up significantly, out - of - the - money put options can be considered [78]. - **Log**: On the previous trading day, log futures fell. The supply pressure is increasing, and the inventory is relatively neutral. Attention should be paid to the risk of price decline if the reality is weaker than expected [80].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The US government's imposition of "reciprocal tariffs" has led to China's counter - measures, causing significant concerns in the market. The global economy faces a greater risk of recession, and the market anticipates further monetary policy easing. Tariffs are significantly beneficial for Treasury bond futures, while stock index futures may face pressure. Different commodities are affected by various factors such as trade frictions, supply - demand relationships, and cost changes, with varying trends and investment strategies [5][6][9]. Summary by Directory Treasury Bonds - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, Treasury bond futures closed higher across the board. The 30 - year, 10 - year, 5 - year, and 2 - year主力 contracts rose by 1.43%, 0.51%, 0.38%, and 0.15% respectively [5]. - **Policy Impact**: China will impose an additional 34% tariff on all imported goods from the US starting from April 10, 2025. Future monetary and fiscal policies have room for adjustment, and measures will be taken to boost domestic consumption and stabilize the capital market [5][6]. - **Outlook**: Tariffs are favorable for Treasury bond futures, but considering the current low Treasury bond yields and the stable recovery of the Chinese economy, caution is advised. It is expected that the volatility will increase [6][7][8]. Stock Index Futures - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, stock index futures declined slightly. The CSI 300, SSE 50, CSI 500, and CSI 1000股指期货主力 contracts changed by - 0.49%, 0.10%, - 0.78%, and - 1.10% respectively [9]. - **Impact Factors**: Tariffs disrupt the domestic economic recovery rhythm, and the global recession risk increases, putting pressure on stock index futures.

It is advisable to wait for short - term opportunities [9]. Precious Metals - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, the gold主力 contract rose by 0.74%, and the silver主力 contract fell by 1.37% [11]. - **Impact Factors**: After the tariff implementation, precious metals first rose and then fell, possibly due to passive selling caused by global financial market liquidity shocks.

During the Ching Ming Festival, international financial market fluctuations may drag down domestic black - series products [14]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: The real - estate industry's downward trend persists, and weak demand and increasing rebar production suppress prices. However, the peak demand season is approaching, and macro - policies may support prices.

Investors can wait and see or focus on intraday trading opportunities, paying attention to position management [14]. Iron Ore - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, iron ore futures fluctuated. During the holiday, international market fluctuations may affect domestic black - series products [16][17]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: High iron - water production supports iron ore demand.

Ferroalloys - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, the manganese - silicon主力 contract fell by 0.45%, and the silicon - iron主力 contract rose by 0.13% [22]. - **Supply - Demand Situation**: The supply of ferroalloys is slightly higher than demand.

Crude Oil - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, INE crude oil rose and then fell due to the implementation of US reciprocal tariffs [24]. - **Market Data**: Fund managers increased their net long positions in US crude oil futures and options.

The inventory is at a relatively low level year - on - year but is accumulating month - on - month [33][34]. - **Outlook**: There may be a technical rebound after the price drops excessively.

PX - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, the PX2505主力 contract fell by 2.27%. Recently, more PX plants have been under maintenance, and the load has decreased. The downstream PTA startup has increased, but the cost support has collapsed due to the sharp drop in crude oil prices [41]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, PX is expected to follow the cost - end weakness.

PTA - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, the PTA2505主力 contract fell by 2%. The supply of PTA has increased slightly, and the demand from the polyester industry has risen.

Rapeseed Meal and Rapeseed Oil - **Market Performance**: Canadian rapeseed has fallen, and the domestic market has been affected by tariff policies.

Cotton - **Market Performance**: During the holiday, the outer - market cotton fell by about 2.3% due to US tariff policies. The domestic cotton supply is sufficient, and the downstream demand is weakening [67][68]. - **Outlook**: In the long - term, the outer - market supply - demand is loose, and the domestic demand has reached a phased peak. The "reciprocal tariff" has a great impact on demand, and the global economic decline has led to trade shrinkage [68]. Sugar - **Market Performance**: During the holiday, the outer - market raw sugar fell by more than 3% due to the decline in global risk assets. The domestic and foreign sugar production and inventory situations are different. The short - term decline in global risk assets will drag down sugar prices [69][70]. - **Strategy**: It is advisable to wait and see [70][71]. Apples - **Market Performance**: On the previous trading day, domestic apple futures fluctuated. The cancellation of a delivery warehouse is beneficial, and the consumption is better than expected. The inventory is low, and the price is expected to be strong [72][73]. - **Strategy**: Consider long - position opportunities after price corrections [74]. Pigs - **Market Performance**: The national average pig price is oscillating. The demand support is insufficient, and the price is expected to remain oscillating in the short term. The 4 - month planned slaughter volume of group farms has a limited increase, and the consumption is entering the
