1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for both the soybean and peanut markets is neutral [3][6] 2. Core Views of the Report - The domestic soybean market shows obvious regional and quality differentiation. The price of soybeans in Northeast China has been rising, but the rapid increase has suppressed the trading volume. In the inland regions, the price of high - protein soybeans remains strong, while the price of ordinary new soybeans has declined in some areas. Despite the overall oversupply, there is still a premium space for high - quality soybeans, and the market may continue the differentiated consolidation trend in the future [2] - The domestic peanut market still faces significant supply pressure. The price is mainly supported by planting and holding costs. It is expected that the demand for commercial peanuts will drive the general peanuts to show an upward trend around January 2026. The price of peanut oil is expected to decline under pressure, and peanut meal is priced according to the aflatoxin index due to inventory accumulation and weak terminal demand [5] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Soybean Market 3.1.1 Price Quotes - Futures: The closing price of the main soybean contract this month is 4,241 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 133 yuan, with a growth rate of 3.24% [1] - Spot: The spot basis of edible soybeans in Bayan, Baoqing, Fujin, and Shangzhi areas has changed compared with last month, showing different upward trends [1] 3.1.2 Supply and Demand - Supply: Mysteel estimates the soybean arrival volume from December 2025 to March 2026. There was a snow and rain weather process around January 1, 2026, which was beneficial to soil moisture in the north but increased the cost of cold - proof and heat - preservation for facility agriculture and animal husbandry. The remaining grain in the Northeast is limited, while in the inland regions, the transaction is still light. The estimated remaining grain ratios in Heilongjiang, Anhui, Henan, and Shandong are 48%, 53%, 58%, and 60% respectively [1] - Demand: The downstream enterprises have a low acceptance of high - price soybeans and generally adopt a cautious strategy of buying as needed. The inflow of Northeast soybeans into the southern market has also put pressure on the local market, resulting in a slow sales volume [1] 3.1.3 Basis Analysis - Basis Status: The basis of edible soybeans in Northeast regions such as Bayan, Baoqing, Fujin, and Shangzhi has changed compared with last month. The regional differentiation is obvious, with the basis in the Northeast higher than that in the inland regions [8] - Basis Analysis and Forecast: Limited remaining grain in the Northeast and price - raising purchases by the China Grain Reserves Corporation support the upward movement of the basis. It is predicted that the basis of high - quality soybeans will be supported by policy and structural supply shortage, but it will continue the differentiated consolidation trend under weak demand and policy - grain release [8] - Basis Strategy: Pay attention to the basis opportunities of high - quality soybeans in the Northeast, make layouts on pullbacks, and avoid chasing highs. Adjust the position - holding rhythm based on policy and remaining - grain data [8] 3.2 Peanut Market 3.2.1 Price Quotes - Futures: The closing price of the main peanut contract this month is 7,992 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 206 yuan, with a decline rate of 2.51% [4] - Spot: The spot basis of peanuts in Henan Nanyang, Shandong Linyi, and Hebei Hengshui areas has changed compared with last month, showing different upward or downward trends [4] 3.2.2 Supply and Demand - Supply: In the next 10 days, the average temperature in some areas will be higher or lower than the same period of the previous year. The domestic peanuts are in the centralized listing stage, but the farmers' reluctance to sell is widespread, and the warehouses in some producing areas are nearly full. The yield of commercial peanuts is lower than the same period last year, and low - quality peanuts flowing into the oil channel have increased the supply pressure [4] - Demand: Before the New Year's Day holiday, the raw - material procurement rhythm of food processing enterprises was gentle, and the downstream distributors were more cautious in stockpiling. The operating level of domestic oil mills has increased, while the family self - pressing demand has slightly decreased. Some oil mills have increased the import of crude oil, but the raw - material consumption speed is still average. Some factories have completed the phased oil - material procurement plan, and their subsequent purchase intention has weakened. In December, the arrival volume of peanuts in most medium - and large - sized oil mills increased by 54.15% compared with November. As of the end of December 2025, the operating rate of domestic peanut - oil sample enterprises increased by 10.27% month - on - month and decreased by 1.92% year - on - year. The peanut inventory of peanut - oil sample enterprises increased by 73.40% compared with the end of last month [4] 3.2.3 Basis Analysis - Basis Status: The basis of peanuts in Henan Nanyang, Shandong Linyi, and Hebei Hengshui areas has changed compared with last month. The supply - structure differentiation has led to the spread, with the basis of high - quality commercial peanuts stronger than that of ordinary general peanuts [9] - Basis Analysis and Forecast: The basis fluctuates under the pressure of centralized listing and supply. The reluctance of farmers to sell and the increase in the arrival volume of oil mills support the upward movement of the basis in some areas. It is predicted that the basis will fluctuate upward driven by the demand for commercial peanuts before the Spring Festival, while the basis on the oil - material side will be under pressure [9] - Basis Strategy: Layout basis opportunities related to commercial peanuts, avoid the downward risk of the basis on the oil - material side, and adjust the strategy by tracking the operating and arrival data of oil mills [9]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral [6] - Option: Sell wide straddle [7] Core Viewpoints - At the end of the year, the supply-demand weakness of lead products is more obvious. Driven by the overall rise of the non-ferrous sector, the demand in the off-season is even weaker. It is expected that the lead price will fluctuate between 16,900 and 17,800 in January 2026 [6][7] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Raw Material End - In December, the lead concentrate market continued the pattern of loose supply abroad and tight supply at home. The output of domestic lead concentrates was about 141,000 metal tons, a month-on-month decrease of 1.5%. The import volume in November was 123,000 physical tons, a year-on-year increase of 15%. The cumulative import for the whole year exceeded 1.35 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 12%. The processing fees continued to decline, and the profits of smelters were further compressed [1] - Due to the seasonal increase in the scrap volume at the end of the year, the recycling volume of waste batteries increased by about 8% month-on-month, but the tax-inclusive price remained firm at 9,950 yuan/ton. The loss of secondary lead enterprises narrowed to -350 yuan/ton, but the procurement was still cautious [1] Primary Lead Production and Import-Export - In December, the operating capacity of primary lead first decreased and then increased. SMM estimated that the output of electrolytic lead in December was 275,000 tons, a month-on-month increase of 6,000 tons. The cumulative output for the whole year was about 3.25 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.5% [2] - In December, the import window of lead ingots continued to open, with about 15,000 tons flowing in from bonded area inventories. Exports remained sluggish, with only a small number of long-term orders to Southeast Asia being executed. The net import for the whole month was 13,000 tons, marking the third consecutive month of net imports [2] Secondary Lead Production and Import-Export - In December 2025, the secondary lead sector continued the cycle of losses leading to production cuts. SMM predicted that the output of secondary refined lead in December was only 112,000 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 15,000 tons, and a year-on-year decrease for six consecutive months. The cumulative output for the whole year was about 1.45 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 9% [3] - Due to intensified domestic losses, smelters increased the import of crude lead to reduce costs. The export of secondary alloy ingots was affected by anti-dumping duties in Southeast Asia, with only 4,000 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 20%. The export of secondary lead-related products showed negative growth for the first time in the whole year [3] Consumption End - In December, the lead-acid battery market was even weaker in the off-season. The export of lead batteries in December was 17.5 million units, a month-on-month decrease of 8% and a year-on-year decrease of 12%. The cumulative export for the whole year was about 215 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 9.3%, the first annual negative growth since 2015 [4] - The average price of 48V12Ah batteries in December was 268 yuan/group, a month-on-month decrease of 2%. Battery manufacturers generally adopted a strategy of reducing prices to maintain sales volume, but still could not offset the shrinking demand, and the finished product inventory rose to 45 days, the highest level in the same period in the past three years [4] Inventory End - In December, the inventory trends at home and abroad continued to diverge. As of December 27, the lead inventory on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 32,000 tons, a decrease of 6,000 tons from the end of November, a decrease of 16%. The LME inventory continued to accumulate, reaching 261,000 tons at the end of the month, a month-on-month increase of 11,000 tons [5] Strategy - Unilateral: Neutral. It is expected that the lead price will fluctuate between 16,900 and 17,800 in January 2026 [6][7] - Option: Sell wide straddle [7] - Basis Strategy: It is recommended to continue holding mainstream deliverable products and sell far-month contracts, and pay attention to the inventory accumulation rhythm after the festival and the resumption of production progress of secondary lead [9]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bullish [7] - Arbitrage: On hold - Options: Sell put options 2. Core View of the Report - The resumption progress of the mining end does not meet expectations, processing fees remain low, terminal demand shows a trend of traditional weakness while new energy is relatively strong. Combined with the emotional support from AI and computing power, it is expected that tin prices will maintain a strong pattern. Enterprises in need of buying hedging are advised to buy in batches and on dips between RMB 286,000/ton and RMB 310,000/ton [7] 3. Summary of Each Section Market News and Important Data Mining End - In December 2025, the trading mainlines of the mining end revolved around "the resumption rhythm of Wa State in Myanmar" and "the easing of the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo". The beneficiation plants in Wa State only maintained an operating rate of 30 - 40%. The import volume of Wa State before mid - December was only 3,800 tons, a 12% decrease compared with the same period in November. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, although the land transportation of tin concentrates in the Kivu region resumed, the actual arrival volume was limited due to port congestion in South Africa. The processing fees for tin concentrates in China remained at a low level, and the profits of smelters were compressed. In late December, Wa State announced full resumption of production on January 5, 2026, and it is expected that the domestic concentrate arrival volume in January 2026 will increase by 15 - 20% month - on - month, with processing fees expected to rise slightly [1] Domestic Refined Tin Production and Import and Export - In December, the national refined tin production was expected to be 14,200 tons, a 2.3% month - on - month increase but a 5.7% year - on - year decrease. The operating rate of large - scale smelters in Yunnan increased, while the recycled tin production in Jiangxi decreased. The import and export windows remained closed. In January, with the increase in the ore volume from Wa State and a slight repair of processing fees, the national output may increase by 5% month - on - month to 14,900 tons, and the overall supply will maintain a pattern of "low imports + stable domestic production" [2] Processing End - In December, the tin processing sector showed the characteristic of passive inventory accumulation due to high prices suppressing demand. The processing fees for solder bars remained flat, but the order volume declined. The shipment volume of lead - free solder paste decreased, and only the high - silver solder paste for photovoltaic ribbons maintained a 3% increase. The demand for tin - plated sheets decreased, and the social inventory of tinplate reached an 18 - month high. In January, the demand for processing products is expected to decrease by 8 - 10%, but the demand for photovoltaic ribbons is expected to increase by 5%, and the processing fees will probably remain stable [3] Terminal End - In December, the traditional terminal consumption was cold, while the new energy sector showed a positive trend. In the consumer electronics field, the shipment volume of mobile phones decreased, and the inventory days of TWS earphones and laptops increased. The export of home appliances decreased, while the photovoltaic sector was the only bright spot. The AI server maintained high - level prosperity, and the demand for high - order solder paste increased. The overall tin consumption in the automotive sector increased slightly. In January, the traditional electronic and home appliance orders are expected to decline, but the new energy sector may bring some incremental demand [4] Inventory - In December 2025, the SHFE tin ingot inventory first increased and then decreased, with a net increase of 1,071 tons for the whole month. The social inventory increased by 17%. The LME Asian warehouses continued to destock. In January, the domestic smelter shipment rhythm will slow down, and the SHFE inventory is expected to fall to around 7,500 tons. If the incremental supply from Wa State arrives at the port smoothly, the LME Asian warehouses may restock, and the overall global visible inventory is still at a low level, providing bottom support for tin prices [5][6] Strategy Unilateral - Cautiously bullish. Enterprises in need of buying hedging are advised to buy in batches and on dips between RMB 286,000/ton and RMB 310,000/ton [7] Arbitrage - On hold Options - Sell put options Tin Variety Basis Situation - In December, the basis of mainstream brands against the futures main contract rose from par to a premium of RMB 400/ton, with increased volatility. The premium of Yunnan Tin was RMB 500 - 700, and that of small brands was RMB 0 - 200, with the spread range widening by RMB 100 month - on - month. In January, the deliverable supply is expected to increase by 8 - 10% month - on - month, and the premium of mainstream brands is expected to fall to RMB 200 - 400. The strategy for holders of Yunnan Tin spot is to sell the SN2602 contract to lock in a premium of RMB 300 - 500. Arbitrageurs should pay attention to the spread between February and March, and consider positive arbitrage if the Back structure is greater than RMB 400 [9]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Views Nickel - In December 2025, the main contract of Shanghai nickel showed a strong V - shaped reversal pattern, rising 13.5% for the month and hitting a new high since 2025. Indonesia's plan to cut the nickel ore quota in 2026 by 34% and the possible 2% tax on associated products like cobalt are the core driving forces for the price rebound [2]. - The supply of primary nickel increased steadily in December due to price recovery and capacity ramping up. The consumption in the stainless - steel and new - energy sectors was in a trough, while the alloy sector was promising. Nickel inventory was still accumulating, and high inventory would suppress the future rebound space of nickel prices [3]. - Currently, the fundamentals show high inventory and oversupply, but with positive policies from Indonesia and nickel's long - term bottom - side oscillation, it is expected to remain strong [4]. Stainless Steel - In December 2025, the main contract of stainless steel showed a pattern of bottom lifting, passive following, and high - level oscillation, rising 6.15% for the month and approaching the annual high, driven by the strength of Shanghai nickel [4]. - The supply of stainless steel decreased in December 2025, while the demand increased slightly due to price - driven market enthusiasm and inventory - building needs. However, the overall weak demand situation in the traditional off - season has not fundamentally changed. The social inventory of stainless steel showed four consecutive drops [5]. - With some macro - positive factors realized and four - week inventory depletion, but the cold downstream demand in the off - season, the stainless - steel price is expected to maintain an oscillatory pattern, following the trend of Shanghai nickel [6]. 3. Summary by Directory Nickel Sector 1.1 Market Review - In December 2025, the main contract of Shanghai nickel started at 117,000 - 118,000 yuan/ton, dropped to 111,700 yuan/ton in the middle of the month, and rebounded to break through 130,000 yuan/ton at the end of the month, with a monthly increase of 13.5% [11]. 1.2 Primary Nickel Supply Situation - In December 2025, the domestic refined nickel production was 31,400 tons, with a year - on - year change of - 0.37% and a month - on - month change of +21.71%. The expected domestic refined nickel production in 2025 was 390,000 tons, a 15% year - on - year increase. Indonesia's expected annual refined nickel production was 80,000 tons, with new projects like Dingxing and Yongheng releasing capacity and Qingmeibang starting production in the fourth quarter [15]. 1.3 Refined Nickel Consumption Situation - In November 2025, China's apparent consumption of refined nickel was 25,400 tons, a month - on - month increase of 10.78% and a year - on - year decrease of 4.66%. From January to October 2025, the cumulative apparent consumption was 348,400 tons, a 37.15% year - on - year increase. The demand in the stainless - steel and new - energy sectors was in a trough, while the alloy sector had good development, and the overall nickel demand remained stable [34][35]. 1.4 Inventory Situation - As of December 31, the SHFE nickel inventory was 45,544 tons, a 11.7% increase from the previous month, and the LME nickel inventory was 255,300 tons, a 0.4% increase, indicating a more relaxed supply pattern and suppressing the future rebound space of nickel prices [37]. Stainless Steel Sector 2.1 Market Review - In December 2025, the main contract of stainless steel started at 12,375 yuan/ton, dropped to 12,290 yuan/ton in the middle of the month, and rebounded to break through 13,000 yuan/ton at the end of the month, with a monthly increase of 6.15% [41]. 2.2 Stainless Steel Supply Situation - In December 2025, the stainless - steel production decreased. The estimated crude - steel output of 43 domestic stainless - steel plants was 3.2671 million tons, a 6.47% month - on - month decrease and a 5.09% year - on - year decrease. The production schedule for January 2026 was 3.327 million tons, a 1.83% month - on - month increase and a 16.27% year - on - year increase [43]. 2.3 Stainless Steel Consumption Situation - In December 2025, the overall stainless - steel consumption increased slightly due to price - driven market enthusiasm and inventory - building needs. The demand in the downstream pipe - making and profile sectors was affected by the traditional off - season, and the overall weak demand situation had not fundamentally changed [51]. 2.4 Inventory Situation - As of December 25, 2025, the total social inventory of stainless steel in 89 warehouses in the mainstream market was 1,005,136 tons, a 3.55% week - on - week decrease. The inventory showed four consecutive drops due to factors such as the increase in steel - mill prices and active merchant sales at the end of the month [59]. 2.5 Cost - In December, the prices of high - carbon ferrochrome and high - nickel pig iron continued to rise, and the stainless - steel cost continued to increase. The costs of different processes for smelting 304 cold - rolled stainless steel changed to varying degrees [67].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In December, the cost - side support for PX and PTA weakened slightly, but their prices rose significantly due to the expectation of tight supply and demand for PX in the first half of next year, with improved profitability. However, the spot basis did not increase significantly. PF and PR prices followed the raw materials up, but the increase was less than that of the raw materials. The processing profit of PF was compressed due to weak textile and clothing demand, and the downstream of PR was weak, with only rigid - demand replenishment [1]. - In the short term, PX has a risk of retracement, but the medium - term expectation is still good. The report suggests short - term retracement for PX/PTA/PF/PR and mid - term buying on dips for hedging. For PTA and PX, the 2605 - 2609 month - spread can be bought after retracement [1][8]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Price and Spread - In December, Brent crude oil price broke through the lower edge of the $60 - 65/barrel range, reaching around $58/barrel. The medium - term fundamental pressure on crude oil still suppressed oil prices. PX and PTA prices rose significantly, with PXN reaching around $380/ton and PTA processing fee recovering to below 300 yuan/ton, but the spot basis did not increase significantly. PF and PR prices followed raw materials up, but the increase was less than that of raw materials. PF processing profit was compressed, and PR basis weakened with a narrowing of the spot processing fee [1][13]. - Regarding the basis strategy, the PTA basis is expected to fluctuate in January, the PX basis is expected to oscillate, the PF basis is expected to adjust passively with raw materials, and the PR basis is expected to move within a range [12]. 3.2 PX and PTA Supply - PX supply: In 2026, the new PX production capacity that can actually be realized is mainly 2 million tons from Liaoning Huajin Aramco, and the total new production capacity including the expansion of Fujia Dahua is expected to be 2.6 million tons, with a capacity growth rate of 6%. In December, foreign PX plants operated at a high load, and production continued to increase. There are no maintenance plans in January, and PX production is expected to remain high. Overseas PX operation rate has an upward expectation [2][43]. - PTA supply: 8.7 million tons of new PTA production capacity have been put into operation this year, and there are no new production capacity plans in 2026. In December, due to low profitability, the maintenance volume of PTA plants remained high. In January, some plants will restart, and PTA load and production are expected to increase slightly compared with December [3][43]. 3.3 Inventory - PX inventory: The PX balance sheet is expected to accumulate about 80,000 tons in December. The current PX social inventory is at a seasonally low level, and the inventories in Japan and South Korea are moderately low. In January, the PTA load increase is limited, and the Chinese PX balance sheet is expected to remain in a loose balance, with an expected inventory accumulation of about 90,000 tons [2][55][58]. - PTA inventory: The Chinese PTA social inventory decreased in December, with an estimated de - stocking of about 200,000 tons. In January, although the maintenance loss is still large, the polyester load on the demand side is expected to decline, and PTA is expected to accumulate a small amount of inventory (about 70,000 tons). The near - end contradiction is not significant, but the inventory accumulation will increase in February [3][58]. 3.4 Demand - In December, domestic trade orders weakened, the weaving load declined rapidly, and the grey fabric inventory began to accumulate. Foreign trade orders started to place seasonal orders from late December, but the overall level was lower than that of the same period last year. In December, due to the rapid rise of raw materials, weaving enterprises made concentrated replenishment, and filament inventory decreased to a low level. Polyester plants operated at a relatively high load in December, but moderately reduced production at the end of the month [67]. - In January, the downstream shows a weakening trend. The recent rise in raw material prices has not promoted the sales of downstream drawn yarns and grey fabrics. The price is difficult to pass on, and the downstream operation rate may decline rapidly. If downstream enterprises stop production in advance, polyester enterprises may be forced to reduce production in advance or increase the maintenance intensity during the Spring Festival [67]. 3.5 PF Supply, Demand and Inventory - In December, the inventory of staple fiber plants remained stable at a low level, and they maintained a high - load operation. With the increase in raw materials, the profit of downstream polyester yarns decreased significantly. In January, the load may decline rapidly due to weak downstream demand, and the increase is less than that of futures. As demand weakens in January, the load is expected to decline from a high level, and the risk of high - priced raw materials increases. The market mainly purchases on demand with a wait - and - see attitude [4][91][93]. 3.6 PR Supply, Demand and Inventory - Supply: In mid - to late December, two 300,000 - ton plants of Zhuhai Huaren restarted one after another, and the new plant of Fuhai was put into production in January, resulting in a slight increase in domestic supply. - Demand: In the first half of December, the terminal made concentrated replenishment at low prices, and the factory inventory decreased. In the second half, after the rapid rise of raw materials, the terminal was cautious about chasing the rise, and the procurement was relatively rigid. In January, there are both restart and maintenance plans, the demand is weak, the supply - demand is expected to remain weak, and the processing fee space is limited [5][111].

Group 1: Investment Ratings - Apple investment strategy is neutral to bullish [5] - Red dates investment strategy is neutral [10] Group 2: Core Views - In December, apples had low inventory, quality differentiation, and stable prices, with slow de - stocking. The new - season apples had reduced production and quality, and the sales of good and bad apples were polarized in the market. In January 26, due to low high - quality fruit rate and inventory, high - quality fruit prices suppressed sales in the sales area, and low - price substitute fruits squeezed the sales space [3][4][5] - As of the end of December, the acquisition of red dates in Xinjiang was nearing completion, and the market focus shifted to the circulation in the sales area and the release of Spring Festival stocking demand. The sales area had sufficient supply but weak trading atmosphere, and the inventory pressure was high. The price trend in the medium - and long - term depends on the consumption during the Spring Festival [7][9] Group 3: Market News and Important Data (Apple) - As of the end of December, the closing price of Apple 2605 contract was 9120 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 459 yuan/ton, a decline of 4.79%. The spot price of 80 first - and second - grade apples in Shandong Qixia was 8200 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 700 yuan/ton; the spot price of semi - commercial apples above 70 in Shaanxi Luochuan was 8400 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 100 yuan/ton [1] - As of the 52nd week of 2025, the average wholesale price of six kinds of fruits monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was 7.82 yuan/kg, a week - on - week increase of 0.25 yuan/kg and a month - on - month increase of 0.51 yuan/kg. As of December 25, 2025, the national apple cold - storage inventory was about 7.021 billion tons, a month - on - month decrease of 272.5 million tons [2] - As of the 52nd week of 2025, the wholesale prices of Kyoho grapes, bananas, watermelons, pineapples, and Fuji apples increased by 0.83 yuan/kg, 0.23 yuan/kg, 0.15 yuan/kg, 0.28 yuan/kg, and 0.07 yuan/kg respectively week - on - week, while the wholesale price of Ya pears decreased by 0.04 yuan/kg week - on - week [2] Group 4: Market News and Important Data (Red Dates) - As of the end of December, the closing price of Red Dates 2605 contract was 8965 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 210 yuan/ton, a decline of 2.29%. The current mainstream prices of general red dates in Aksu, Alar, Kashgar, and Maigaiti were 5 - 5.3 yuan/kg, 5.2 - 5.8 yuan/kg, 6.2 - 6.4 yuan/kg, and 6 - 6.3 yuan/kg respectively. The spot price of first - grade grey dates in Hebei was 8300 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 400 yuan/ton [7] - In December, the acquisition of grey dates in Xinjiang was nearing completion, and the ownership of the acquired goods was being transferred. The new - season red dates were generally smaller but of better quality than last year. The sales area had low trading activity, and the market focus shifted to the circulation in the sales area and the Spring Festival stocking demand [7] - The arrival volume of red dates in the sales area in December was small, but the supply increased. The average prices of special - grade and first - grade red dates in Hebei Cuierzhuang decreased by 0.28 yuan/kg and 0.47 yuan/kg respectively month - on - month. The prices of all grades in Henan and Guangzhou markets also decreased by 0.3 - 0.5 yuan/kg. The physical inventory of 36 sample points was 15,898 tons, an increase of 5050 tons compared with last month [8] Group 5: Market Analysis (Apple) - In December, the sales of out - of - cold - storage late Fuji apples were nearly over, and the trading was mainly based on cold - storage goods. The commodity rate was lower than in previous years, and the prices of good and bad apples were polarized. The cold - storage de - stocking was slow, and the de - stocking speed was lower than the same period in previous years. The de - stocking rhythm and the supply of substitute fruits in the next month will affect the market [4] Group 6: Market Analysis (Red Dates) - Currently, the acquisition of red dates is coming to an end, and the goods are being transferred from farmers and local cooperatives to processing enterprises and traders. In December, the sales area had sufficient supply but weak trading atmosphere, and the inventory pressure was high. The medium - and long - term price trend depends on the consumption during the Spring Festival [9] Group 7: Basis Analysis - The spot basis of 80 first - and second - grade apples in Shandong Qixia was AP05 - 920, a month - on - month increase of 1159; the spot basis of first - grade grey dates in Hebei was CJ05 - 665, a month - on - month decrease of 190.

FICC月报 | 2026-01-04 股指有望迎来开门红 市场分析 制造业景气度回暖。宏观方面，11月经济数据显示整体经济有所放缓，供给端整体平稳，十月节假日后生产已恢 复正常。需求端面临一定压力，内需方面尤其是商品零售端亟待提振，尽管双十一活动对消费有一定拉动，但受 前期消费国补政策退潮影响，整体拉动效果有限，消费表现偏弱，而外需边际改善带来一定支撑。随着新一年国 补政策回归，预计其对内需的拉动效果将逐步显现。投资端拖累明显，尤其是地产投资压力较大，不过高端制造 领域投资增长起到一定支撑作用。金融数据方面，11月金融总量增速与上月持平，但M1、M2增速均呈下行态势， M1-M2剪刀差连续两个月下降，这种金融数据走弱将直接作用于流动性驱动型市场，引发权益市场波动。整体来 看，11月经济亮点有限，但12月制造业景气度超预期回升至荣枯线上方，释放出边际好转信号。政策方面，2026 年作为"十五五"规划开局之年，对"开门红"诉求比常规年份更强烈，大概率将迎来增量政策，可能包括财政政策前 置发力、货币政策边际宽松等方向。 增量资金回暖。盈利层面，企业端利润有所反复，11月整体承压，但呈现明显结构性分化特征，其中高端 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The current spot price of caustic soda is stable with a slight decline. The supply side is operating at a high level, and the demand side shows weakening trends. The overall supply - demand situation is weak. The future focus is on changes in liquid chlorine prices, device dynamics, and the implementation of macro anti - involution details [3]. - The PVC market was weak in the early part of the month, rebounded due to macro - sentiment, and then the macro - sentiment faded, with the overall supply - demand situation remaining weak. It is expected to fluctuate in the near future, and attention should be paid to subsequent device maintenance and macro - side policies [6]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Basis Strategy Analysis - **Caustic Soda**: The basis of caustic soda maintains a C - structure. The spot price first fell, then rose, and then fell again. The inventory is at a high level, and the basis is expected to continue to weaken. A reverse cash - and - carry strategy is recommended [12]. - **PVC**: The basis of PVC also shows a C - structure. After the price hit a new low, the supply - demand situation improved marginally, and the basis strengthened slightly. However, it is expected to weaken again in the future, and a reverse cash - and - carry strategy is recommended [12]. 3.2 Caustic Soda Price & Spread - In December, the spot price of caustic soda first fell, then rose, and then fell again. The high - level operation of production led to an oversupply situation and inventory accumulation. The demand from alumina is relatively stable, but the procurement price has been adjusted downward. Non - aluminum downstream demand enters the off - season in January [13]. 3.3 PVC Price & Spread - In December, the PVC price first fell and then rose. The high inventory led to a continuous decline in price, and the low price improved the supply - demand situation marginally. Macro - sentiment boosted the long - term demand expectation, but the overall supply - demand situation remained weak after the macro - sentiment faded [35]. 3.4 Cost and Profit - The comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali has been significantly reduced and is at a low level compared to the same period. The profit of PVC upstream raw materials is extremely compressed. The price of ethylene is expected to remain weak in January [52]. 3.5 Caustic Soda Supply - In December, new caustic soda production capacity was put into operation, and the overall supply remained at a high level. There are few planned maintenance enterprises in January, and the supply is expected to remain high due to the good market conditions of liquid chlorine [70]. 3.6 Liquid Chlorine Price and Its Downstream Products - In December, the price of liquid chlorine increased. The downstream demand supported the price, but in January, the terminal demand of some downstream products entered the off - season, and the price is expected to fluctuate slightly [82]. 3.7 PVC Supply - The overall PVC output remained high in December. All new production capacity has been put into operation, and the supply is still abundant. There is no new domestic production capacity in 2026, and the overseas supply contraction in December 2025 provided a small support to the market sentiment [98]. 3.8 Caustic Soda Downstream Demand - The demand from alumina is expected to weaken in the long - term. The non - aluminum downstream demand enters the off - season in January, and the demand of various industries is expected to decline seasonally [110]. 3.9 Caustic Soda Import and Export - The main import sources of domestic liquid caustic soda in November were Singapore, Norway, and Germany, and the main export destinations were Indonesia, Australia, and Canada. The export orders remain normal [132]. 3.10 PVC Downstream Demand - The downstream demand for PVC is weakening. The demand for pipes and profiles is affected by the sluggish real - estate market, while the film industry performs relatively well. The downstream demand is expected to decline further in January [145]. 3.11 PVC Import and Export - The BIS certification and anti - dumping duties of PVC in India have been cancelled, and the export expectation for 2026 is improving. The current PVC export maintains its resilience through price - for - volume strategy [156]. 3.12 Caustic Soda and PVC Inventory Data - The inventory of caustic soda increased in December due to factors such as production increase and weakening downstream demand. The PVC social inventory continued to increase, and the high - level futures warehouse receipts continued to suppress the PVC futures price [160].
