Core Insights - The insurance industry is expected to benefit from the trend of bank deposits moving to insurance products, with a positive outlook for the liability side performance in 2026 due to successful short-term sales initiatives. The introduction of a tiered product pricing structure is anticipated to significantly alleviate the risk of interest spread losses. The "reporting and operation integration" is expected to promote industry consolidation and enhance the concentration of leading companies [4][31]. - The securities sector is experiencing a rise in market risk appetite and sustained high trading activity, benefiting from both valuation and performance attributes [4][31]. - Key companies to watch include China Ping An, China Life, China Pacific Insurance, Guotai Junan, and Huatai Securities [4][31]. Summary by Sections 1. Industry Dynamics - The insurance sector is undergoing a systematic upgrade in asset-liability management, with new regulations requiring comprehensive coverage, reasonable matching, and robust supervision. The new rules include three mandatory indicators for property insurance companies, all of which must not fall below 100% [1][2]. - The report highlights the performance of listed insurance companies, with New China Life reporting a cumulative premium income of 188.85 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16% [14]. 2. Securities - The public fund performance benchmark reform has been initiated, focusing on the transformation of existing products and ensuring a smooth transition without drastic changes to holdings.

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report Group 2: Core Views - The urea market is within the range of fundamentals and policies. In the short term, its downside space is strongly supported, but there is also pressure on the upside. It is expected to show a volatile trend [3]. - The short - term domestic urea market is weak and stalemated. The weekend domestic urea market continued to be firm and rising, but the mid - to - long - term trend is under pressure, and the 1 - 5 month spread is in a reverse arbitrage pattern [10][18][19]. - The overall urea market is expected to be volatile, with a possible narrow rebound followed by a stalemate, and the bottom range may continue to rise [16]. Group 3: Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - The change in phosphate fertilizer policy suppresses the speculative nature of the fertilizer sector, weakening the spot trading of urea. The high daily production of urea under policy support and profit repair exerts significant pressure on prices, but the export policy adjustment weakens the downward price drive. The short - term domestic urea market is weak, but the continuous destocking of explicit inventory supports prices [3]. - Regarding futures trading, although new delivery warehouses are added, the cheapest deliverable goods are still from Henan and Shandong. Considering the disappearance of the export expectation for the 01 contract, a reverse arbitrage strategy is adopted for the 1 - 5 month spread. The 01 contract still has a premium due to the autumn fertilizer expectation [5]. 1.2 Trading - type Strategy Recommendations - **Trend Judgment**: Urea is expected to fluctuate weakly. - **Price Range**: UR2601 is expected to trade between 1550 - 1750 yuan/ton. - **Strategy Suggestions**: Short positions are recommended when the price is above 1750 yuan/ton, and a reverse arbitrage is recommended for the 1 - 5 month spread when it is above - 10 [12]. - **Basis, Month - spread and Hedging Arbitrage Strategy Suggestions**: The 11, 12, and 01 contracts have a weak unilateral trend, while the 02, 03, 04, and 05 contracts are strong with peak - season demand expectations. The 01 contract has an upper pressure range of 1710 - 1720 yuan/ton and a lower static support range of 1550 - 1620 yuan/ton. It is recommended to short at high prices and conduct a reverse arbitrage for the 1 - 5 month spread. No hedging arbitrage strategy is provided [13][14]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Key Events 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: The fourth quarter is the winter storage period for the fertilizer industry, and the relatively low price may attract spontaneous reserves. India's NFL issued a new urea import tender, intending to purchase 1.5 million tons [15]. - **Negative Information**: The current domestic daily urea production is 208,100 tons. After the maintenance of some plants in Shandong and Jiangsu, and the expected concentrated maintenance of some gas - based urea plants in Inner Mongolia and Sichuan, the domestic daily urea production is expected to decline significantly to around 200,000 tons [15]. 2.2 Next Week's Key Events - China's urea production is expected to reach around 1.34 million tons next week, an increase from this week. There are no plans for plant shutdowns, and 5 - 6 plants may resume production, increasing the probability of production growth [17]. Chapter 3: Disk Interpretation 3.1 Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation - The domestic urea market continued to rise over the weekend, with a price increase of 10 - 40 yuan/ton. The fourth batch of urea export quotas and the new Indian tender boosted market sentiment, but mid - to - downstream resistance emerged. The short - term market is still strong [18]. - The weak domestic demand is the main contradiction. It is expected that the increase in exports cannot make up for the weakening domestic demand, so the medium - term trend is under pressure, and the 1 - 5 month spread of urea is in a reverse arbitrage pattern [19]. 3.2 Industry Hedging Suggestions - **Price Range Forecast**: The price range of urea is predicted to be 1650 - 1950 yuan/ton, with a current volatility of 27.16% and a historical percentile of 62.1% over three years. - **Hedging Strategies**: - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory, shorting urea futures, buying put options, and selling call options are recommended to lock in profits and reduce costs. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low procurement inventory, buying urea futures, selling put options are recommended to lock in procurement costs and reduce expenses [24]. Chapter 4: Valuation and Profit Analysis 4.1 Upstream Profit Tracking of the Industrial Chain - The report presents the seasonal trends of the weekly fixed - bed production cost, natural - gas production cost, water - coal slurry gasification profit, and fixed - bed production profit of urea [27][30][33]. 4.2 Upstream Production Rate Tracking - The report shows the seasonal trends of the daily urea production, weekly production capacity utilization rate, coal - based production capacity utilization rate, and natural - gas - based production capacity utilization rate [36][37]. 4.3 Upstream Inventory Tracking - The report provides the seasonal trends of China's weekly urea enterprise inventory, port inventory, Guangdong and Guangxi inventory, and the combined port and inland inventory [39][41][43]. 4.4 Downstream Price and Profit Tracking - The report presents the seasonal trends of the weekly production capacity utilization rate and inventory of compound fertilizers, the production profit, production capacity utilization rate, market price, and weekly output of melamine, as well as the market prices of compound fertilizers in different regions and the daily market price of synthetic ammonia in Henan [45][48][52][58][65]. 4.5 Spot Production and Sales Tracking - The report shows the seasonal trends of the average production and sales of urea and the production and sales of urea in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Hebei, and East China [67][69].

南华期货LPG2026年年度展望 ——供给韧性延续，需求承压加深 戴一帆（投资咨询资格证号：Z0015428） 研究助理：沈玮玮（期货从业证书：F03140197 ） 联系邮箱：shenweiwei@nawaa.com 交易咨询业务资格：证监许可【2011】1290号 第一章、核心观点 观点总结 2025年内盘LPG价格呈现宽幅震荡的格局，整体价格重心下降，价格波动加剧。展望26年，我们认为需要重 点关注以下几个方面： 1）供应端：预期明年整体供应依然有韧性。中东明年虽然暂时OPEC+增产放缓，但仍有多个气田相关项目 将投入运营，预期LPG供应仍有增长趋势；美国产量在疲软的原油价格影响下，预期增速放缓，但出口终端 仍持续扩张，对出口量形成正向驱动。 2）需求端：中印作为亚洲LPG需求的主要增长引擎，增速预期也将放缓。在中国，化工行业持续低迷的利润 水平抑制了相关需求；印度方面，民用领域的普及率已逐渐接近饱和，化工需求增长相对缓慢，同时其港口 基础设施仍存在一定限制。另外，韩国裂解产能的整合退出情况也需要持续关注。 综合来看，在供应保持韧性而主力需求增长放缓的背景下，2026年全球LPG市场可能继续呈现价格重心 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The core contradiction this week lies in the impact of the US non-farm payroll data and unemployment rate on the probability of interest rate cuts, the supply-demand relationship in the copper market, and the confirmation of the tight supply of copper mines in 2026. Looking ahead to next week, macroeconomic data will affect market sentiment and copper prices. The strategy is to follow the trend if there is a breakthrough; otherwise, buy at low levels within the range [2][3]. - Cathode copper is currently in the mid - stage of an uptrend with a neutral cycle, while LME copper is in the late stage of an uptrend at a high cycle level, and there is a risk of a pullback. The risk - return ratios for going long on SHFE copper and LME copper are low, so caution is advised [3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Core Contradiction and Strategy Suggestion 1.1 Core Contradiction - **Macroeconomic Aspect**: The US non - farm payroll data and unemployment rate exceeded market expectations, slightly increasing the probability of interest rate cuts. The probability of a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut by the Fed in January 2026 is 26.6% (24.4% the previous week), and the probability of keeping interest rates unchanged is 73.4%. By March 2026, the probability of a cumulative 25 - basis - point cut is 46.8%, the probability of keeping interest rates unchanged is 41.8%, and the probability of a cumulative 50 - basis - point cut is 11.5%. Next week, the release of macroeconomic data such as the US initial jobless claims and core PCE price index will affect market sentiment [2][3]. - **Fundamental Aspect**: Near the end of the year, holders of copper have a stronger willingness to destock. In the context of increasing electrolytic copper production from November to December, the sellers' willingness to sell continues to rise, while downstream processing enterprises are still hesitant to buy at high prices, resulting in limited spot price increases. The LME copper cancelled warrants remain above 60,000 tons, supporting the rebound of the copper premium in China's bonded area. The export window is still open. The 2026 copper long - term TC/RC, announced over the weekend, is set at $0/ton and 0 cents/pound, confirming the tight supply of copper mines in that year [2]. 1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Suggestion - **Trend Judgment**: Cathode copper is in the mid - stage of an uptrend with a neutral cycle; LME copper is in the late stage of an uptrend at a high cycle level, and attention should be paid to the risk of a pullback. The risk - return ratio for going long on SHFE copper is 0.69% (low risk - return ratio), and for LME copper is 0.71% (low risk - return ratio), so caution is advised [3][14]. - **Price Range**: The price range for SHFE copper is [89,735, 95,178], with a price center of 92,457; for LME copper, it is [11,303, 12,145], with a price center of 11,724 [14]. - **Strategy Suggestion**: Follow the trend if there is a breakthrough; otherwise, buy at low levels within the range [3]. - **Basis, Calendar Spread, and Arbitrage Strategy**: The basis strategy is to expect it to strengthen. On December 19, the basis was - 565 yuan/ton, in the lowest 10% of historical quantiles, and the probability of an expansion in the next 1 - 2 weeks is 82.3%. The calendar spread strategy is neutral, with the main fluctuation range of the spread between the first - and third - month contracts being [- 90, 260], and the current spread is - 40. The cross - border spread is within the normal range, and it is recommended to wait and see. The current SHFE - LME ratio is 7.89, at the 43.3% historical quantile (lower than last week) [14][16]. 1.3 Enterprise Hedging Strategy Suggestion - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, when the expected price has strong resistance at 95,000 yuan/ton and the lower limit is 90,000 yuan/ton, they can short the SHFE copper main contract at the resistance level, build positions at high prices, and stop losses if the price breaks through. They can also sell call options or buy put options but should wait and see for now. - **Raw Material Management**: For enterprises with low raw - material inventory worried about price increases, when the expected price has strong support at 90,000 yuan/ton, they can buy the main contract futures near the support level. They can also buy up - and - out cumulative options in the range of 90,000 - 94,000 yuan/ton [20]. 1.4 Review of Trading and Hedging Strategies - The previous long futures hedging positions bought at low levels can continue to be held. Those who have not hedged may have missed the ideal hedging price. If they are in a hurry to purchase, they can consider the "sell put option + buy call option" combination to synthesize a long strategy [25]. 2. This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Key Event Interpretation 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: On December 20, Chinese smelters and Antofagasta set the 2026 copper concentrate long - term processing fee Benchmark at $0/ton and 0 cents/pound. From January to October 2025, the global refined copper market had a surplus of 122,000 tons, less than the 261,000 - ton surplus in the same period last year. Global copper demand growth forecasts have been revised upward, with the 2025 growth rate expected to increase from 2.4% to 2.7%. China's demand expectation has been raised from 3.3% to 3.7%, and demand outside China has been raised from 1.0% to 1.2%. Institutions expect the 2026 market to remain slightly in surplus, with the surplus potentially expanding in 2027, and the market to return to a structural shortage by 2030 [28][29][30]. - **Negative Information**: In November 2025, the domestic copper rod output was 106,210 tons, a 7.87% increase from October, and the comprehensive capacity utilization rate was 54.08%, a 3.95% increase from the previous month. The Chinese copper industry monthly prosperity index in November was 39.7, a 2 - point decrease from the previous month, and continued to operate in the "normal" range. The LME plans to implement new position limit regulations from July next year. The probability of a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut by the Fed in January 2026 and cumulative cuts by March 2026 has been adjusted [30][31][32]. 2.2 Next Week's Key Event Interpretation Next week, many macroeconomic indicators will be released, including the UK GDP year - on - year, US PCE price index, initial jobless claims, etc., which will affect market sentiment on copper prices [34]. 3. Interpretation of Price, Volume, and Capital on the Disk 3.1 Domestic Market Interpretation This week, the trading volume and open interest of the SHFE copper weighted index decreased significantly, and the market speculation degree dropped below the mid - line. The price of the SHFE copper main contract fluctuated around 92,579 yuan/ton, with a weekly increase of 0.57% and an amplitude of 3.95%, and closed at 93,180 yuan/ton on Friday [35][36]. 3.2 Overseas Market Interpretation This week, the overseas copper futures performed better than the domestic market. The Comex copper price reached a one - month high on Friday night and then pulled back, while the LME copper price maintained an uptrend with a small amplitude. The LME copper price mainly fluctuated in the range of [11,536.5, 11,928] dollars/ton, increased by 1.58% week - on - week, and closed at 11,870.5 dollars/ton. The Comex copper price mainly fluctuated in the range of [531.75, 556.55] cents/pound, increased by 1.41% week - on - week, and closed at 548.35 cents/pound. The LME copper term structure has gradually changed from contango to backwardation, and the positive spread between months has widened negatively. The open interest of the Comex copper active contract remains at a high level in the same period [35][38]. 4. Analysis of Spot Price and Profit 4.1 Spot Price and Smelting Profit In the second half of this week, the electrolytic copper spot price strengthened, but the discount widened. The scrap copper market showed "higher prices but less volume", and the invoice situation in Guangdong and Jiangxi was tight, increasing the capital cost pressure on scrap copper enterprises. The purchasing and selling sentiment in the electrolytic copper spot market changed. The smelting income of refined copper increased week - on - week [42][43]. 4.2 Import Profit and Import Volume This week, the copper import profit and scrap copper import profit increased significantly year - on - year, and domestic enterprises' willingness to import copper is expected to increase. The Yangshan copper premium in the bonded area has been rising, which will continue to support smelters' copper exports. It is expected that the copper inventory in the bonded area will remain balanced. It is estimated that China will import 2.6 million physical tons of copper ore and concentrates in December 2025, with an annual import volume of 30.26 million physical tons, a year - on - year increase of 7.43% [45][46]. 4.3 Inventory Analysis This week, the "siphon effect" of the Comex copper inventory still exists. The domestic copper inventory increased year - on - year, and the LME copper inventory decreased year - on - year. The LME copper cancelled warrants remained above 60,000 tons but decreased compared to the previous week, while the LME copper registered inventory increased significantly. The total Comex copper inventory increased, and the registered inventory continued to rise, indicating that holders continued to sell on the disk [49]. 5. Supply - Demand Deduction and Price Expectation 5.1 Supply Deduction - **Global Perspective**: In 2025, the global copper concentrate production is expected to be 19.871 million metal tons, with an actual copper rough - smelting output of 20.154 million metal tons, and the global copper concentrate supply - demand balance is - 166,000 metal tons. In 2026, the global copper concentrate production is expected to be 20.441 million metal tons, with an actual copper rough - smelting output of 20.664 million metal tons, and the global copper concentrate supply - demand balance is - 331,000 metal tons [55]. - **Domestic Perspective**: In November, China's electrolytic copper production was 1.1031 million tons, a 1.05% month - on - month increase and a 9.75% year - on - year increase. The cumulative production from January to November was 12.2545 million tons, a 11.76% year - on - year increase. In December, it is expected that 4 smelters will be under maintenance, with an expected impact of 0.5 million tons. It is estimated that the electrolytic copper production in December will be 1.1688 million tons, a 5.96% month - on - month increase and a 6.69% year - on - year increase [56][57]. 5.2 Demand Expectation In November, the domestic copper product output was 1.7879 million tons, slightly lower than expected, and the comprehensive copper product operating rate was 61.6%, a 3.8% month - on - month increase. Except for the recycled copper rod industry, the operating rates of other industries increased. In December, it is expected that the operating rates of most industries will continue to increase slightly. The expected copper product output, copper rod output, copper strip output, copper tube output, and copper rod output are likely to increase month - on - month, and the apparent consumption of electrolytic copper will also increase month - on - month [59][60][61]. 5.3 Price Expectation This Friday, the market sentiment was high, and the copper price increased significantly, especially in the Comex copper market, where the price reached a one - month high. The copper price can either rise or fall at the current level. From the perspective of the 2026 long - term TC/RC announced over the weekend, the confidence of funds to buy at low levels will be re - stimulated, and the probability of the copper price breaking through again will increase. If the breakthrough is less than expected and the market returns to a volatile situation, it is still advisable to buy at low levels within the range [65].
