Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Gold: US tariff policies and Middle - East geopolitical issues have increased risk - aversion sentiment, but Fed officials' remarks have dampened rate - cut expectations, so gold may continue to oscillate at a high level in the medium term [2] - Silver: Multiple Fed officials' remarks have dampened rate - cut expectations, and risk - aversion sentiment has suppressed risk appetite and silver's bullish sentiment. Silver follows gold and is expected to oscillate at a high level in the medium term [2] - Coking Coal: After the Spring Festival, the resumption of coal mine production will accelerate, but the supply is still restricted. The fundamental contradictions of coking coal are not prominent, and the spot is expected to oscillate, while the futures market is expected to have wide - range oscillations due to capital sentiment [4] - Rebar: Steel enterprise production accidents have limited impact on long - process rebar output, and short - process output recovery takes time. Overall output will remain at a low level. After the holiday, supply and demand are both weak, and there is pressure from high inventory. However, there are macro disturbances before the Two Sessions, so the downside is limited [4] - Iron Ore: After the holiday, iron - water production increase and steel enterprises' inventory digestion co - exist, and the demand expectation for iron ore is average. Considering the expected increase in supply arrivals, there is still pressure for inventory accumulation. Due to the macro expectations driven by the Two Sessions and possible weather disturbances on the supply side, the price is expected to oscillate in the short term [5] - Crude Oil: US crude oil inventory has increased far beyond expectations, and people are cautious before the US - Iran nuclear talks. The supply pressure of crude oil still exists, and short - term trading is recommended [6] - Natural Rubber: Overseas production areas are gradually entering the production - reduction period, and the prices of overseas natural rubber futures and raw materials have risen. China's bonded - area inventory has accumulated, and the demand side has the expectation of improvement. Overall, natural rubber is expected to oscillate strongly [7] - PX: PX has a high operating rate, the terminal off - season atmosphere is obvious, and the downstream polyester operating rate has been declining. The processing fee has slightly declined. The previous rise in oil prices due to geopolitical reasons has provided some support. Short - term trading is recommended [8] - Copper: The inventory has reached a five - year high, bringing "weak reality" pressure. After the holiday, downstream enterprises are gradually resuming work, but the pace and strength of recovery need further observation. High inventory suppresses short - term prices, while tight supply at the mine end provides long - term support. The price is expected to oscillate in the short term [8] - Plastic: The supply side has sufficient inventory, and the demand side has slow resumption of work and insufficient replenishment. The cost of crude oil is relatively stable. Plastic production enterprises' inventory has increased, and the demand is still weak, so it is expected to be under pressure and oscillate weakly in the short term [9] - Methanol: The domestic methanol operating rate is at a high level, and the port inventory is also high. After the holiday, some downstream enterprises are gradually resuming work. The methanol market is expected to oscillate weakly in the short term [10] - Long - term Treasury Bonds: Risk - aversion sentiment may increase, and the MLF has been renewed in an increased amount after the holiday, which is beneficial to the bond market. However, the stock - bond seesaw may be negative for the bond market. The bond market is expected to oscillate in a triangular - convergence pattern [11] - Aluminum: The early resumption of production at an Icelandic smelter is a marginal repair signal for overseas supply. The global electrolytic aluminum supply shows a pattern of "overseas fluctuations and domestic rigidity". The price is expected to oscillate in the short term [13] - Soda Ash: The supply of soda ash is strong and the demand is weak, and there is great pressure from new capacity. It is expected to maintain a weak oscillation in the short term [14] Group 3: Summaries by Related Catalogs Gold - Trump's speech on tariff policies and the Middle - East geopolitical situation have increased risk - aversion sentiment, but Fed officials' remarks have dampened rate - cut expectations, weakening the upward momentum of gold [2] Silver - Multiple Fed officials' remarks have dampened rate - cut expectations, and risk - aversion sentiment has suppressed silver's bullish sentiment. It follows gold and is expected to oscillate at a high level [2] Coking Coal - The capacity utilization rate of 523 coking coal mines is 48.9%, with a 32.5% decrease compared to the previous period.

The price of billets in Tangshan has increased, and the average price of rebar has decreased slightly. Steel enterprise production accidents have limited impact on long - process output, and short - process output recovery takes time.

However, the stock - bond seesaw may be negative for the bond market [11] Aluminum - Century Aluminum's Icelandic smelter will resume production in April 2026, 6 months earlier than expected.
