Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is escalating, significantly affecting global commodity markets, especially energy and metal markets. The continuous conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, along with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, has led to supply disruptions and price fluctuations in various commodities [2]. - The US labor market shows weakness, with negative employment growth and rising unemployment rate in February, which impacts the performance of precious metals and other commodities [3]. - The performance of different commodities varies. Some are affected by supply - demand changes, while others are influenced by geopolitical factors, energy prices, and policy expectations. Summary by Commodity Categories Energy - Crude Oil: International oil prices soared on March 9. With the Middle East situation escalating, the Strait of Hormuz shipping is blocked, causing supply disruptions. Iraq cut about 1.5 million barrels per day of production, and Kuwait reduced 100,000 barrels per day. Geopolitical risks will continue to support oil prices [2]. - Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil: Geopolitical factors will continue to drive energy products. Fuel oil will maintain a high geopolitical premium and fluctuate significantly with crude oil [22]. - Asphalt: International oil price increases will boost the domestic asphalt market. Refineries may cut production due to concerns about raw material shortages. The revised asphalt production in March decreased by 220,000 tons. The market has a bullish sentiment [23]. Metals - Precious Metals: The US employment data is poor, and the precious metals are in a high - level historical shock pattern. The sharp rise in crude oil brings inflation and economic uncertainties, and there is a risk of liquidity shock from the global stock market decline [3]. - Copper: The copper price followed the short - term rise of precious metals but then focused on high - oil - price risks. The Middle East war may affect economic growth and AI - related investments. The copper price is expected to adjust to 98,000 yuan [4]. - Aluminum: The domestic aluminum inventory is at a high level, but the Middle East situation intensifies overseas shortage concerns. The aluminum price fluctuates at a high level, and it is necessary to avoid chasing up and selling down [5]. - Zinc: European energy prices have soared, and the cost of LME zinc has increased. In the domestic "Golden March and Silver April" season, the actual destocking performance needs to be tracked. The domestic zinc supply exceeds demand, and the Shanghai zinc is expected to oscillate at a high level in the short term [8]. - Nickel: The nickel market is mainly in the range of consolidation, and the trading is active. The nickel inventory has increased, and the market lacks independent driving force and gradually weakens [10]. - Tin: The tin price has a strong two - way fluctuation, and the domestic inventory has decreased. The supply is mainly based on the resumption of supply rhythm, and attention should be paid to the MA60 moving average [11]. Chemicals - Polycarbonate: The price of polycarbonate rebounds in shock, and the market maintains a certain activity. The total inventory decreases, and the mining end price is strong. The short - term uncertainty is extremely high [12]. - Polysilicon: The price support logic weakens, and the market is dominated by fundamentals. The domestic polysilicon production capacity is in excess, and the demand recovery is less than expected. The price may approach the cash cost in the short term [13]. - Industrial Silicon: The spot price of industrial silicon rises slightly. The cost increase expectation is enhanced. The supply is expected to increase, and the short - term market sentiment is strong, but the disk may face hedging pressure [14]. Agricultural Products - Soybean, Soybean Meal, and Rapeseed Meal: The soybean meal continued to increase in position and price on the night of last Friday. The international situation is tense, and the oil price is high, which drives the soybean price to be strong. Attention should be paid to the USDA report on March 11 [36]. - Edible Oils: The prices of domestic agricultural products generally rise. The Middle East geopolitical situation increases the planting cost and affects the supply of fertilizers. The supply of old - crop agricultural products is not tight, and attention should be paid to the impact on new - crop costs and the supply chain [37]. - Corn: The Dalian corn futures continued to be strong last Friday night. The state reserve has been actively trading corn. The US corn is in a bottom - shock and strong trend. Pay attention to the grain sales progress in Northeast China [39]. - Livestock and Poultry Products: The pig futures are weak in the near - term and strong in the far - term. The spot price continues to decline slightly. The pig price is at the bottom of the bear market, and the inventory pressure needs to be resolved. The egg price is rising, and the egg inventory is in a downward trend [40][41]. Others - Shipping: The container shipping index (European line) is dominated by geopolitical sentiment, and the market fluctuates sharply. The impact of the US - Iran conflict on the European line supply - demand pattern is limited. The fuel cost increase may push up the shipping price [21]. - Stock Index: The A - share market oscillated higher, and the futures index contracts all rose. The market style may rotate to stable and financial sectors. The relatively strong RMB exchange rate may support the A - share market [46]. - Treasury Bonds: The treasury bond futures oscillated horizontally, and the curve flattened slightly. The market lacks incremental information. The curve may show short - term narrow - range oscillation and medium - term flattening [47].
