Core Viewpoint - The ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East has led to a sustained increase in international oil and gas prices, which is expected to positively impact domestic coal price expectations [2][3]. Group 1: Energy Price Trends - The sustained rise in overseas energy prices is likely to improve domestic coal price expectations [2]. - Since the outbreak of the Middle East conflict, domestic coal prices have underperformed expectations, but the overall price performance has been better than during the Russia-Ukraine conflict [2][3]. Group 2: Domestic Coal Price Outlook - Domestic coal prices are expected to transition from a short-term weak fluctuation phase to a steady upward trend due to three main factors: 1) Improved profitability in the chemical sector may increase coal demand [3]. 2) Year-on-year improvements in industry data for the first two months suggest a better-than-expected annual fundamental outlook [3]. 3) Continued overseas price premiums for coal due to the ongoing conflict [3]. Group 3: Market Performance - The coal sector has shown significant excess returns since the onset of the Middle East conflict, with cumulative excess returns increasing from 6.39% in the first week to 15.79% after three weeks [4]. - The thermal coal sub-sector has performed the best, driven by the direct impact of rising oil and gas prices, with leading thermal coal companies also having coal chemical business attributes [4]. Group 4: Future Expectations - The thermal coal sector is expected to maintain a stable and positive performance in the context of rising domestic coal prices, while the coking coal sub-sector has greater potential for price increases [4].

Core Viewpoint - The market is experiencing significant divergence in expectations regarding the impact of the Iran conflict, with three core questions remaining unanswered until April: the extent of resumption of navigation after conflict intensity decreases, whether the Federal Reserve prioritizes inflation indicators or actual employment conditions, and whether China faces cost shocks or opportunities for supply chain shifts [1][14]. Group 1: Iran Conflict and Market Impact - There are two contrasting views on the Iran conflict: one suggests that the conflict's intensity has decreased and that navigation will resume, while the other argues that navigation has not yet recovered and supply chain disruptions are not fully reflected [2][16]. - As of March 19, 2026, only five vessels were passing through the Strait of Hormuz, indicating no signs of large-scale resumption of navigation, with daily passage numbers significantly lower than pre-conflict levels [5][19]. - The current oil tanker rental rates have surged from $10-20 per ton to $60-80 per ton, with some periods exceeding $90 per ton, marking a historical peak [5][19]. Group 2: Federal Reserve's Focus - There are two opposing views regarding the Federal Reserve's focus: one suggests that inflation risks are increasing and liquidity is tightening, while the other argues that employment prospects are more significantly impacted by AI, making tightening unlikely [3][17]. - Following the March 18 Federal Reserve meeting, market data indicated that the implied number of rate cuts for the year remained low, between 0-1 [3][17]. - The employment market is showing signs of weakness, with negative job growth reported in February and downward revisions to previous employment data [6][20]. Group 3: China's Energy Dependency and Supply Chain Resilience - There are two perspectives on China's situation: one indicates that prolonged conflict will significantly impact China due to high oil import dependency, while the other suggests that China's supply chain resilience has improved, with a notable decrease in oil dependency [4][18]. - China's oil import dependency has decreased from 2.2% of GDP fifteen years ago to 1.7% currently, and existing reserves can meet over 90 days of consumption [4][18]. - China's energy diversification strategy has been long-term, with potential additional supply sources capable of covering risks associated with the Strait of Hormuz [4][18]. Group 4: Market Behavior and Future Outlook - The market has seen some short-term reduction in positions, particularly in sectors that had previously seen significant gains, with a notable divergence in performance among different sectors [8][22]. - The market's volatility is attributed more to absolute return funds reducing positions rather than institutional reallocation, with low-valuation stocks performing better than high-valuation stocks [8][22]. - The market is expected to remain in a narrative-driven phase until April, when key questions regarding the Iran conflict and its implications will begin to be answered [9][23].
