Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. Core Views of the Report - The military conflict persists, leading to significant fluctuations in the prices of various commodities. Geopolitical factors, especially the situation in the Middle East and the status of the Strait of Hormuz, have a substantial impact on the prices of energy, metals, and agricultural products. - The market is highly sensitive to geopolitical news, and investors need to closely monitor relevant information and control risks. - Different commodities have different supply - demand situations and price trends, and specific analysis is required for each commodity. Summary by Commodity Categories Energy - Crude Oil: WTI crude futures reached $80 per barrel, while SC crude had a relatively looser upward trend, with its premium over Brent still significant. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz significantly affects SC premiums, and China is sending an envoy to the Middle East to cool the situation [1]. - Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil: After consecutive days of gains, they are oscillating. Although there are signals of "geopolitical easing," the de facto "soft closure" of the Strait of Hormuz is likely to continue to affect energy products, and fuel oil will mainly fluctuate with crude oil [21]. - Asphalt: Driven by rising crude oil prices, asphalt prices are strengthening, but due to its own characteristics, the increase is milder. It is in a pattern of "strong cost, weak supply - demand," and will mainly follow cost - side fluctuations in the short term [22]. Metals - Precious Metals: Overnight, precious metals declined slightly. The US weekly initial jobless claims were 213,000, in line with expectations. The market is focused on US non - farm payrolls and retail sales data [2]. - Copper: Overnight, Shanghai copper showed a tenacious struggle around 100,000. High inventories and uncertainties may drag down copper prices to test the moving average support [3]. - Aluminum: Overnight, Shanghai aluminum declined. Aluminum ingot social inventories increased, while aluminum rod inventories decreased. The reduction of production by Qatar Aluminum has increased supply concerns, and the aluminum price is volatile at a historical high [4]. - Zinc: The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is tense, and the trading of the non - ferrous sector is dull. Zinc fundamentals are improving, but the actual destocking rhythm needs attention, and it is advisable to wait and see for now [7]. - Lead: High inventories lead to low - level narrow - range fluctuations in lead prices. The supply - side pressure has slightly decreased, and attention should be paid to the domestic lead destocking rhythm after full resumption of production [8]. - Nickel and Stainless Steel: Shanghai nickel oscillated downward. Nickel inventories increased, and nickel lacks independent driving factors in the short term, following external sentiment and gradually weakening [9]. - Tin: Overnight, tin prices oscillated downward. The supply side is slowly changing, and attention should be paid to the MA60 moving average [10]. - Carbonate Lithium: It oscillated and corrected. The total market inventory decreased, but the destocking speed slowed down. The futures price correction has high short - term uncertainty [11]. Chemicals - Polysilicon: The importance of new energy is emphasized, and there are expectations for capacity governance. The downstream demand is expected to increase, and there is an expectation of destocking. The market is in a game between expectations and reality, and it is expected to remain in a low - level oscillation in the short term [12]. - Organic Silicon: Affected by electricity price increase expectations and environmental protection news, the market expects supply to tighten. However, with increased supply and weak demand, there is an expectation of inventory accumulation in March, and the price increase space is limited [13]. - Urea: The market is in an oscillating adjustment. With the improvement of industrial and agricultural demand in mid - and early March, production enterprise inventories are expected to decrease, but the price increase may be limited, and it is expected to oscillate within a range [23]. - Methanol: The liquid market is weakly oscillating. The overseas device start - up is at a low level, and the supply is expected to shrink. Coastal demand is weak, and attention should be paid to the development of the conflict and the possibility of inland supply replenishment [24]. - Pure Benzene: The futures market is strong. Due to the geopolitical conflict, the supply of raw materials is expected to decrease, and the downstream capacity utilization rate has increased. The short - term cost support is obvious, and the market is expected to be strong [25]. - Styrene: Due to the geopolitical problem in the Middle East, the export of styrene from the Middle East may be blocked, creating gaps in India and Southeast Asia [26]. - Polypropylene, Plastic, and Propylene: Propylene has strong cost support, and production enterprises have a willingness to support prices. Polyethylene has strong cost support, but downstream procurement has slowed down. Polypropylene supply is expected to shrink, and the market price is rising [27]. - PVC and Caustic Soda: Affected by the geopolitical conflict, PVC is oscillating strongly. The industry inventory is high, and the cost of ethylene - based PVC may increase. Caustic soda is strongly affected by news, and the industry profit has been significantly repaired [28]. - PX and PTA: The Middle East situation affects them through crude oil. The absolute price and monthly spread are strengthening, but the downstream polyester recovery may be delayed, and the processing margin is under pressure [29]. - Ethylene Glycol: New capacity has long - term pressure, but there is a possibility of phased improvement in supply - demand in the second quarter. The Iranian situation has multiple positive effects, and attention should be paid to the development of the situation [30]. Building Materials - Glass: It is oscillating. The industry is accumulating inventory, and the downstream recovery is slow. The current valuation is low, and attention should be paid to the post - holiday demand recovery [32]. - Soda Ash: It is oscillating strongly. The industry is accumulating inventory, and there are rumors of alkali plant maintenance. In the short term, attention should be paid to the maintenance situation, and in the long term, it faces oversupply pressure [34]. Agricultural Products - Soybeans, Soybean Meal, and Rapeseed Meal: The predicted soybean yields of Argentina and Brazil in the 2025/26 season are slightly different from the USDA's February report. Domestic soybean and soybean meal inventories have increased, and the situation of "strong oil, weak meal" may continue [35]. - Vegetable Oils: Domestic vegetable oils are strong, following energy prices. The supply - demand pattern of agricultural products is not tight, and short - term attention should be paid to the Middle East situation [36]. - Corn: Dalian corn is trending strongly. North Port prices are rising, and Northeast and Shandong acquisition prices are also increasing. Attention should be paid to the Northeast grain sales progress, state reserve auction information, and futures capital trends [38]. - Hogs: The far - month futures price is strong, and the spot price is oscillating at a low level. The industry needs to reduce production capacity, and long positions in far - month contracts can be considered after the premium narrows [39]. - Eggs: The egg futures market rebounded slightly, and the spot price is slightly weak. In the long term, the inventory is decreasing, and long positions can be considered at low levels [40]. - Cotton: Zhengzhou cotton is oscillating. The commercial inventory is being digested well, and the supply is expected to be tight. The short - term demand feedback is average, and attention should be paid to the "Golden March and Silver April" demand [41]. - Sugar: Overnight, US sugar oscillated. India's sugar production is increasing, while Thailand's is slower. In China, the production in Guangxi is slow, but there is an expectation of increased production in the 25/26 season, and the short - term price faces pressure [42]. - Apples: The futures price is rising. The demand in the Northwest is good, but the quality in Shandong is poor, and the inventory is high. Attention should be paid to the later demand [43]. - Timber: The futures price is oscillating.
