1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Since Iran was attacked, most futures varieties have shown significant price increases. The market is highly influenced by geopolitical factors, especially the situation in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The prices of various commodities are expected to remain highly volatile, and the risk premium may quickly decline if the geopolitical situation eases [4][14]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Shipping Market - On the evening of March 3rd, the exchange implemented risk - control measures such as limiting positions to 50 lots for the container shipping route to Europe to suppress excessive speculation. On March 3rd, Trump claimed that the US Navy would escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz if necessary, and the market began to bet that the conflict would not escalate indefinitely. On March 4th, the main contract of the container shipping route to Europe opened with a daily limit and then declined [9]. Crude Oil Market - On February 28th, Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for about one - third of global oil trade. If the Strait is completely blocked, Middle Eastern oil - producing countries can only digest about 25 days of stranded production. Different countries have different strategic oil reserves. The IEA has 1 billion barrels of emergency reserves. If the conflict is short - term, Brent oil prices will be in the range of $80 - 90 per barrel; if it is long - term, prices may exceed $100 per barrel. INE oil prices have risen more than Brent and WTI due to China's higher dependence on the Strait [14]. Chemicals Market Fuel Oil - Crude oil is the core raw material of fuel oil, with a cost accounting for 70% - 90%. Iran is the world's second - largest exporter of high - sulfur fuel oil. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz will reduce China's fuel oil imports. Although the actual supply - demand pattern is weak, geopolitical risks are the main factor driving prices. It is expected to remain strong in the short term, but the risk premium may decline rapidly after the Strait is reopened [17]. Asphalt - The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran boosts asphalt prices from both supply and cost aspects. China's asphalt import dependence is about 10%, and the Middle East accounts for about 49% of imports. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz affects supply and increases production costs. It is expected to remain strong in the short term, with a risk of rapid decline in the risk premium after the Strait is reopened [20][21]. LPG - China's LPG supply is mainly domestic, but imports are the marginal variable. The Middle East situation threatens supply from two aspects: blocking the Strait of Hormuz and reducing production due to oil production cuts. The domestic LPG price has been significantly affected by geopolitical factors. It is recommended to pay attention to Middle East oil production and Strait navigation. The price will be highly volatile, and the geopolitical premium may be squeezed out if the situation eases [24][25]. Methanol - The domestic methanol supply - demand pattern is slightly loose. The production and shipment of Iranian methanol plants are affected. It is recommended to pay attention to Iranian plant dynamics. The price will be highly volatile, and the geopolitical premium may be squeezed out if the situation eases. The exchange has adjusted the minimum order volume to limit speculation [28]. Pure Benzene - Styrene - Polyethylene - Aromatic series benefit from cost - push and raw material supply shortages. Polyethylene has cost and import advantages. The supply - demand situation of pure benzene has improved slightly, styrene has a healthy supply - demand situation, and polyethylene has a loose supply - demand situation. It is recommended to pay attention to the Strait of Hormuz blockade time and exchange policies [31][32]. Propylene - Polypropylene - The supply of LPG is expected to shrink, which will affect propylene production. The market is in a stalemate. Polypropylene has strong cost support and active market speculation. It is recommended to pay attention to Middle East oil production and Strait navigation, and the price will be highly volatile [36][37]. Polyester Series (PX - EG - PTA - PR - PF) - The core logic is that geopolitical conflicts lead to cost increases in PX and MEG, which are then transmitted downstream. The price is dominated by geopolitics. EG has the greatest price elasticity, followed by PX, and PTA, PF, and PR are more passive followers. Potential risks include geopolitical easing and downstream negative feedback. It is recommended to pay attention to the Middle East situation and be cautious when chasing high prices of PTA [38][39][40]. Rubber Series - Natural rubber has fallen slightly, with supply - side news limited and downstream demand not optimistic. Synthetic rubber has strong cost support but high inventory and low demand, which may limit its upward space. It is recommended to take profit on long positions and hedge with put options, and those not in the market should wait and see [44]. Coal Market - The impact of the US - Iran war on domestic coal prices is not obvious. The price of coking coal futures is affected by the coal - coke - steel industry chain. The substitution effect of coal due to rising oil prices is not obvious, and it is expected to decline in a volatile manner. The marginal impact of Indonesia's export limit is weakening, and the port coal price has limited upward space. The stock market and futures market volatility has increased due to the international situation [46][49][50].
