Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The ongoing Middle - East geopolitical conflicts and supply disruptions are the main drivers of price fluctuations in various commodities. The resolution of military confrontations and the resumption of strait navigation are crucial for the market to return to normal [2]. - The performance of different commodities is affected by multiple factors such as geopolitical risks, supply - demand relationships, and cost changes. Investors should pay close attention to geopolitical developments and policy changes [2][3][4] Summary by Commodity Categories Energy - Crude Oil: Brent oil prices rose sharply, and SC crude oil hit the daily limit. Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and supply disruptions are the main reasons. Geopolitical risk premiums will remain high until the military confrontation subsides and strait navigation resumes [2]. - Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil: Multiple contracts of FU and LU followed the SC crude oil main contract and rose to the daily limit. The core logic has shifted to the geopolitical conflict. Supply - tightening expectations are strong, and future trends depend on the war situation and the duration of strait blockage [22]. - Asphalt: Affected by the Middle - East situation, asphalt prices strengthened, but the increase was milder than that of crude oil and fuel oil. It is in a pattern of "strong cost, weak supply - demand", and will mainly follow cost fluctuations with limited upside space [23]. - Urea: The futures market was narrowly volatile, and the spot price was stable with a slight increase. In the context of the spring plowing season, the inventory of production enterprises may decline, but the price increase may be limited. The market is expected to oscillate within a range [24]. - Methanol: The night - session price rose and then fell. Geopolitical conflicts may lead to a reduction in supply. In the short term, the market may experience pulse - like increases, and in the medium term, attention should be paid to the evolution of geopolitical risks [25]. Metals - Precious Metals: Overnight, precious metals fell significantly. The short - term volatility increased, and the subsequent trend is determined by the war situation. Caution is advised when participating [3]. - Copper: Overnight, copper prices declined. Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East increased economic growth risks and dragged down copper prices. High inventories and uncertainties may cause copper prices to test the MA60 moving - average support [4]. - Aluminum: Overnight, Shanghai aluminum prices rose. The market is concerned about supply contractions in the Middle East. Aluminum prices are expected to oscillate strongly, and geopolitical guidance should be continuously monitored [5]. - Zinc: The dollar rebounded, and there were concerns about liquidity. The zinc market lacked upward momentum. High zinc prices suppressed downstream purchasing enthusiasm, and the inventory increased significantly. The overall rebound of Shanghai zinc is under pressure [8]. - Lead: The lead market is in an oversupply situation, with weak external and strong internal prices. There is a certain expectation of inventory reduction, but the actual inventory - reduction rhythm is not smooth. The price is expected to oscillate at a low level [9]. - Nickel and Stainless Steel: Shanghai nickel oscillated and declined. The market was actively traded. The nickel market lacks independent driving forces and follows external sentiment, gradually weakening [10]. - Tin: Overnight, tin prices continued to decline. The short - term price may turn to oscillation. Attention should be paid to the MA60 moving - average. Geopolitical conflicts may affect the semiconductor output in East Asia [11]. - Iron Ore: The overnight futures market was weak. The supply increased, and the demand improved marginally. The market is expected to oscillate, and attention should be paid to changes in market risk preferences [16]. - Coke: The intraday price oscillated strongly. The first round of price cuts may be implemented. The inventory decreased slightly. The market has expectations for "anti - involution" policies, and the price may be driven up by coking coal [17]. - Coking Coal: The intraday price oscillated strongly. Attention should be paid to geopolitical conflicts. The total inventory decreased significantly, and there is a certain expectation of inventory replenishment. The price has improved, and geopolitical news should be monitored [18]. - Manganese Silicon: The intraday price oscillated upward. Geopolitical conflicts are beneficial to the cost of manganese silicon. The demand is slowly increasing, and the price is expected to oscillate strongly [19]. - Silicon Iron: The intraday price oscillated upward. The demand has certain resilience, and the inventory decreased slightly. The price is expected to oscillate strongly, and attention should be paid to geopolitical news [20]. Chemicals - Polypropylene, Plastic & Propylene: International events have increased the cost of propylene. The market sentiment has improved, and the inventory reduction has accelerated. However, the high inventory in the polyolefin market poses a supply pressure, and the divergence between futures and spot prices may increase [28]. - PVC & Caustic Soda: Geopolitical conflicts have made PVC prices oscillate strongly. The industry inventory is high, and the demand is in the recovery stage. Caustic soda supply is high, and the price is expected to operate in the bottom range [29]. - PX & PTA: The Middle - East situation affects PX and PTA through oil prices and supply concerns. The current PTA processing margin is under pressure, and the price and spread are affected by the Middle - East situation [30]. - Ethylene Glycol: There is a possibility of phased improvement in supply - demand in the second quarter. The Iranian situation has multiple positive effects on ethylene glycol, and the development of the situation should be monitored [31]. Agricultural Products - Soybean, Soybean Meal & Rapeseed Meal: US soybeans oscillated strongly at a high level. Brazilian soybean production is expected to decrease. The inventory of soybeans and soybean meal has increased. The market shows an oil - strong - powder - weak state. Rapeseed meal has stabilized [35]. - Vegetable Oils: Domestic vegetable oils are generally strong, following energy prices. The short - term market is driven by the uncertainty of Middle - East energy. The supply - demand pattern of agricultural products is not tight, and attention should be paid to the Middle - East situation [36]. - Corn: The prices at northern ports increased, and the inventory at north - south ports is at a low level. US corn oscillated strongly at the bottom. Dalian corn futures are expected to be strong in the short term [38]. - Hogs: The main contract of hogs continued to decline. The spot price fell, and the central government plans to purchase frozen pork. The pig price is at a historical low, and the inventory pressure needs to be relieved. Long positions in far - month contracts can be considered [39]. - Eggs: The egg futures market adjusted weakly. The spot price adjusted weakly after the Spring Festival. The long - term egg inventory is in a downward trend, and long positions can be considered at low levels [40]. - Cotton: Zhengzhou cotton oscillated at a high level. The short - term demand feedback is average. The supply of cotton in the future is expected to be tight. Attention should be paid to the demand performance in the "Golden March and Silver April" period [41]. - Sugar: International sugar production in India and Thailand shows different trends. In China, the market focuses on the expected difference in production. The short - term sugar price faces certain pressure [42]. - Apples: The futures price rose significantly. The post - festival demand in the northwest is good, but the quality and inventory in Shandong are problematic. The de - stocking speed may be affected [43]. - Timber: The futures price oscillated. The supply is expected to decrease, the demand is weak, and the low inventory supports the price. Temporarily observe the market [44]. - Pulp: The domestic pulp port inventory is at a high level. The overseas quotation is strong, but the demand is average. The mid - term trend is expected to oscillate within a range [45]. Others - Shipping Index (European Line): Shipping companies are actively raising prices. The short - term futures market may remain strong. Attention should be paid to the sustainability of the Middle - East supply chain disruption and its spill - over effects [21]. - Stock Index: A - shares fell significantly, and overseas stock markets also declined. Geopolitical factors have increased market inflation concerns and raised the threshold for the Fed to cut interest rates. The RMB exchange rate is relatively strong, and the A - share market is expected to oscillate strongly. Pay attention to the rotation of market styles [46]. - Treasury Bonds: Treasury bonds showed differentiation. The market may choose a direction after the policy tone of the Two Sessions. The strategy is to oscillate on a single side. The strategy of flattening the yield curve by shorting T and longing TL has a certain cost - performance ratio [47].
