Market Overview - The Hang Seng Index has short-term support at the 25,000 point level, with expectations of two interest rate cuts in 2026 following the Federal Reserve's recent 0.25% rate cut, which brings the federal funds rate to a range of 3.5% to 3.75% [1][4] - The market anticipates a dovish monetary policy stance post-2026 leadership change, but further observation of economic data is necessary [1] - The Chinese economy is facing a supply-demand imbalance, with a focus on stabilizing investment and the real estate market, while the US-China tariff war has paused, limiting the incentive for aggressive policy adjustments in the short term [1] Company News - Xiaomi's co-founder Lin Bin plans to sell up to $2 billion worth of shares, with proceeds intended for establishing an investment fund [10] - Leapmotor has received a premium subscription from FAW for nearly 75 million shares, amounting to over 4.1 billion RMB [10] - ByteDance is expected to purchase Huawei's Ascend chips next year, with total orders potentially exceeding 40 billion RMB, marking a significant increase from nearly zero in 2025 [10] - UBTECH Robotics has acquired a 43% stake in Fenglong for approximately 1.665 billion RMB, focusing on garden machinery and automotive components [10] - Vanke's domestic bond extension proposal was not approved, but a grace period extension was passed, allowing for a 30-day extension [10] Industry Insights - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is addressing "involution" competition in new energy vehicles and related industries, emphasizing price monitoring and quality checks to prevent disorderly competition [9] - The Chinese government is set to implement a more proactive fiscal policy in 2026, focusing on boosting consumption and effective investment in key areas [9] - The industrial profits in China fell by 13.1% year-on-year in November, indicating challenges in the industrial sector [9] - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology forecasts a 5.9% growth in industrial value added for the year, with significant growth in high-tech manufacturing [9]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Synthetic rubber: Weakly bearish [1] - Silver: Caution against excessive bullishness [1] - Live pigs: Short - term rebound adjustment [3] - Rapeseed meal: Bullish in the short - term [4] - Palm oil: Bullish in the short - term [4] - Crude oil: Weakly bearish [5] - Asphalt: Weakly bearish [7] - Copper: Alert to price correction risks [7] - Methanol: Bearish in the short - term [8] - Soda ash: Slightly bearish in the short - term [9] - PVC: Bullish in the short - term [10] - Long - term treasury bonds: Slightly bullish for long - term, more bullish for short - term [11] - Gold: Caution against excessive bullishness, mid - term high - level oscillation [11] Core Views - The supply and demand situation of various commodities affects their price trends. For example, high domestic production capacity utilization and new production plans suppress the price increase of synthetic rubber, while the increase in exports and decline in production support the price of palm oil [1][4]. - Macro - events and policies have an impact on the market. For instance, the Japanese economic situation affects the silver market, and the expected monetary policy environment in China affects the bond market [1][11]. - The resolution of geopolitical conflicts may change the market sentiment. The potential peace plan in the Russia - Ukraine conflict may reduce the safe - haven demand for gold and silver [11]. Summary by Commodity Synthetic Rubber - As of December 26, the weekly capacity utilization of butadiene was 70.61%, up 0.6% from last week, and the port inventory was 43,300 tons, up 7,300 tons. In November 2025, the domestic cis - butadiene rubber production was 13.01 million tons, down 0.75 million tons from the previous month. As of December 25, the weekly capacity utilization of domestic cis - butadiene rubber was 76.76%, up 0.5% from last week. High domestic main - unit operating rates and new production and restart plans suppress spot price increases. Demand from industries like tires is in the end - of - year stocking phase, with weak willingness to buy at high prices [1]. Silver - The Japanese cabinet passed the initial budget for fiscal year 2026, with general account expenditures reaching 122.31 trillion yen, up about 7 trillion yen year - on - year. The economic recovery in Japan provides support for the Bank of Japan's implementation of a tight monetary policy. Silver has risen too much, with insufficient short - term upward momentum and an increased probability of peaking [1]. Live Pigs - As of December 26, the average live - pig slaughter weight was 123.55 kg, down 0.12 kg; the weekly slaughter operating rate was 40.12%, up 0.53%; the profit of purchasing piglets for breeding was - 223.82 yuan per head, up 9.91 yuan; the profit of self - breeding and self - raising was - 66.57 yuan per head, up 6.58 yuan; the piglet price was 217.38 yuan per head, down 1.19 yuan. The national pig price rose significantly on the weekend. Supply is generally abundant, but there is a short - term shortage of medium and large pigs, supporting a phased price rebound [3]. Rapeseed Meal - As of the 51st week of 2025, the coastal oil - mill rapeseed meal inventory was 0 million tons, down 0.02 million tons from last week; the inventory in East China was 17.91 million tons, unchanged; the inventory in South China was 24 million tons, down 0.80 million tons; the inventory in North China was 3.75 million tons, down 0.24 million tons; the total inventory in major regions was 45.66 million tons, down 1.06 million tons. The delayed import of rapeseed for crushing in China leads to a short - term shortage of rapeseed meal supply, and the spot price has risen [4]. Palm Oil - From December 1 - 25, 2025, the yield per unit of Malaysian palm oil decreased by 8.49% month - on - month, the oil extraction rate decreased by 0.12% month - on - month, and the production decreased by 9.12% month - on - month. The export volume of Malaysian palm oil products from December 1 - 25, 2025, was 1,017,897 tons, up 3.0% from the same period last month. The increase in exports and decline in production provide continuous bullish support for the market [4]. Crude Oil - Russia's crude oil production in 2025 will be about 516 million tons, the same as last year, and is expected to increase to 525 million tons in 2026. Investors are worried about global over - supply, and international oil prices have fallen by more than 2%. However, Russia will continue to operate within the OPEC+ framework, so its oil supply will still be adjusted according to OPEC+ goals [5]. Asphalt - In January 2026, the domestic asphalt total planned production is 2 million tons, down 158,000 tons (7.3%) month - on - month and down 276,000 tons (12.1%) year - on - year. The capacity utilization of 69 domestic sample modified asphalt enterprises this week was 7.1%, down 0.6% month - on - month and up 0.8% year - on - year. As of December 25, 2025, the total social inventory of domestic asphalt in 104 warehouses was 1.071 million tons. The shipment volume of 54 domestic asphalt enterprises this week was 404,000 tons, up 15.4% month - on - month. The market has limited upward driving force due to weak fundamentals and sufficient raw material supply [7]. Copper - MMG has approved the feasibility study of the major expansion project of the Khoemacau copper mine in Botswana and officially started construction. The project aims to increase the annual production capacity to 130,000 tons of copper in copper concentrate and the annual production of associated silver to more than 4 million ounces. The project is expected to produce the first batch of copper concentrate in the first half of 2028. The new copper mine is unlikely to relieve the short - term supply shortage. High copper prices have suppressed downstream procurement, and there is a risk of price correction [7]. Methanol - The market price of methanol in Taicang, Jiangsu, is 2,135 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton. The weekly domestic methanol capacity utilization is 91.24%, up 0.71% month - on - month. The 400,000 - ton/year methanol plant of Sichuan Lutianhua is expected to end maintenance this week. The total downstream capacity utilization is 74.26%, down 0.52% week - on - week. The inventory of Chinese methanol ports is 1.4125 million tons, up 193,700 tons week - on - week. The inventory of Chinese methanol sample production enterprises is 404,000 tons, up 12,800 tons week - on - week, and the orders to be delivered of sample enterprises are 193,600 tons, down 26,800 tons week - on - week. High domestic methanol production and falling downstream demand lead to a large increase in port inventory [8]. Soda Ash - The mainstream price of national heavy - duty soda ash is 1,255 yuan/ton, with a stable recent price. The weekly soda ash production is 711,900 tons, down 1.32% month - on - month. The total inventory of soda ash manufacturers is 1.4385 million tons, down 4.06% week - on - week. The operating rate of float glass is 73.89%, down 0.1 percentage points week - on - week. The national average price of float glass is 1,076 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day. The total inventory of national float glass sample enterprises is 58.623 million weight boxes, up 0.11% week - on - week. The domestic soda ash market is stable and dull, with light trading [9]. PVC - The price of SG - 5 PVC in East China is 4,500 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton from the previous day. The PVC capacity utilization is 77.23%, down 0.15% month - on - month. The PVC social inventory is 1.0611 million tons, up 0.43% month - on - month. The average profit of national calcium - carbide - based PVC production enterprises is - 760 yuan/ton; the average profit of national ethylene - based PVC production enterprises is - 336 yuan/ton. The operating rate of domestic PVC pipe sample enterprises is 36.2%, down 1.4 percentage points month - on - month. The supply is expected to increase slightly this week, and the market may see a holiday - related inventory build - up. The demand is weak, but the cost provides strong support [10]. Long - term Treasury Bonds - The CSRC and other relevant departments will improve the institutional and policy environment for long - term investment, increase the scale and proportion of medium - and long - term funds invested in A - shares, and promote the improvement of the quality of listed companies. The long - term funds in the stock market still support the stock market. There is an expectation of monetary easing at the beginning of the year, resulting in a double - bull pattern of stocks and bonds [11]. Gold - Trump and Zelensky held a meeting on the proposed Russia - Ukraine "peace plan." Trump said that both Zelensky and Putin hope to reach a peace agreement. The resolution of the Russia - Ukraine conflict needs continuous attention, and the safe - haven sentiment may further cool down [11].
