The US ISM manufacturing index expanded for two consecutive months in February, and the Iran conflict may increase inflation pressure. A bridge collapse in Zambia disrupted copper exports from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but restoration work was underway. In February, China's electrolytic copper production decreased by 3.69 tons month - on - month, a 3.13% decline, and was expected to increase by 5.28 tons in March, with a year - on - year increase of 6.51%. The demand for scrap copper is expected to increase, and the supply gap may be filled by imports. High copper prices have led to strong resistance from downstream terminals, and the copper market has a situation of strong supply and weak demand, with the price under pressure [6] 3.2.2 Lithium Carbonate - Lithium Carbonate opened low and moved lower, hitting the daily limit on the day. The average price of battery - grade lithium carbonate was 161,000 yuan/ton, a decrease of 11,500 yuan/ton from the previous working day; the average price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate was 157,500 yuan/ton, also a decrease of 11,500 yuan/ton. The supply was affected by seasonal and holiday - related production cuts in February, with an expected output of 81,900 tons, a 16% month - on - month decrease. Downstream battery production remained relatively high, and inventory decreased by about 2,900 tons. However, due to geopolitical conflicts and changes in tariff policies, the price dropped significantly [8] 3.2.3 Crude Oil - OPEC+ agreed to increase oil production by 206,000 barrels per day in April, and the subsequent production plan may be adjusted. The EIA data showed that US crude oil inventories increased significantly beyond expectations. After the US and Israel attacked Iran, Iran retaliated, and the Strait of Hormuz was blocked, affecting oil transportation. Qatar's liquefied natural gas production was also affected. The Middle East situation remains tense, and crude oil prices are expected to fluctuate strongly in the near term [9][11] 3.2.4 Asphalt - The asphalt开工率 decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 21.4% last week, and it is expected to produce 2.187 million tons in March 2026, a 13.0% month - on - month increase. After the Spring Festival, downstream industries gradually resumed work, but the overall shipment volume decreased, and the factory inventory increased. The supply of Venezuelan and Iranian crude oil is uncertain, and asphalt prices are expected to rise with crude oil prices, with reverse arbitrage as the main strategy [12][14] 3.2.5 PP - As of the week of February 27th, the PP downstream开工率 decreased by 5.04 percentage points to 36.74% compared to before the Spring Festival. On March 3rd, the PP企业开工率 was around 79%, and the production ratio of standard grade wire drawing increased. After the Spring Festival, the petrochemical inventory decreased, and it is currently at a neutral level. The increase in crude oil prices due to the Middle East situation has a positive impact on PP, but the downstream recovery is slow. It is expected to fluctuate strongly, and the L - PP spread is recommended to stop profit and wait and see [15] 3.2.6 Plastic - On March 3rd, the plastic开工率 was around 91%. As of the week of February 27th, the PE downstream开工率 decreased by 1.58 percentage points to 18.22% compared to before the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, the petrochemical inventory decreased, and it is currently at a neutral level. The increase in crude oil prices has a positive impact on plastic. New production capacity was put into operation at the beginning of the year, and the downstream recovery is slow. It is expected to fluctuate strongly, and the L - PP spread is recommended to stop profit and wait and see [16][17] 3.2.7 PVC - The calcium carbide price in the upstream northwestern region decreased by 50 yuan/ton. The PVC开工率 increased by 1.99 percentage points to 82.08%, and the downstream开工率 increased after the Spring Festival but is still lower than the same period last year. Export orders may be at a low level in March, the social inventory is high, and the real - estate market recovery is slow. PVC has a situation of weak reality and strong expectations, and is expected to fluctuate strongly [18] 3.2.8 Coking Coal - Coking Coal opened high and moved high, rising over 4% on the day. The import of Mongolian coal is gradually recovering, and domestic mines are resuming work, with an increase in mine inventory. After the Spring Festival, the inventory of independent coking enterprises and steel mills has decreased. The iron water output has increased, but there may be short - term interference during the Two Sessions. Affected by geopolitical conflicts, the price rose, but there is a risk of correction in the future [20] 3.2.9 Urea - Urea opened low and moved low on the day. The futures price decline affected the spot trading activity. The daily output has reached around 220,000 tons, and the upstream inventory is lower than the same period last year. March is the peak agricultural demand season, and the demand for high - nitrogen compound fertilizers is expected to support urea. It is expected to fluctuate weakly, and there is a risk of a compensatory increase [21]
