Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the global liquidity environment will maintain a loose tone, with marginal adjustments in the pace and amplitude. China's macro - policies will remain positive, with fiscal support for "two major" construction and "new - quality productivity" and moderately loose monetary policies [17]. - The industrial capacity cycle has bottomed out, and there are signs of a turning point. In 2026, the capacity utilization rate is expected to stabilize in the first half and rise marginally in the second half [23]. - The inventory cycle is approaching its end, with domestic and overseas "de - stocking" showing signs of bottoming out [29]. - In 2026, the commodity market is expected to stabilize at the bottom and gradually shift to a "slow - bull" market. The Minsky Clock is likely to transition from "weak recovery" to "early re - inflation," benefiting stocks and commodities [30]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro Outlook - The global liquidity environment in 2026 will maintain a loose tone, and China's macro - policies will continue to be positive, with fiscal support for key areas and moderately loose monetary policies [17]. 3.2 Capacity Cycle - The industrial capacity utilization rate bottomed out in Q2 2025, and the PPI has been narrowing its year - on - year decline since June 2025. In 2026, it may form the initial stage of a positive cycle [23]. 3.3 Inventory Cycle - The year - on - year growth rate of finished - product inventory has shown signs of bottoming out, indicating the end of the current inventory cycle. The US wholesalers' inventory has been decreasing since Q2, and the inventory - to - sales ratio has become less sensitive [29]. 3.4 Commodity Market Outlook - In 2026, the commodity market will operate in a pattern of "liquidity support, cycle resonance and stabilization, and structural differentiation." It may show wide - range fluctuations in the first half and a mild recovery in the second half if policies are effective [30]. 3.5 Sector and Variety Allocation Outlook 3.5.1 Precious Metals - Precious metals are expected to continue their bull market but with increased volatility.

The divergence between copper and rebar reflects the economic transformation [62]. 3.5.4 Black and Energy - Chemical Sectors - In the black sector, shorting iron ore may be cost - effective. In the energy - chemical sector, most chemicals except crude oil face supply pressure and are suitable for short - allocation [68]. 3.5.5 Agricultural Products - Livestock Sector - If the "anti - involution" policy promotes the reduction of livestock production capacity in the first half, pork and eggs may be worth long - allocation in the second half, while the fundamentals of beans may weaken [74]. 3.6 Allocation Strategy - Industrial product hedging can focus on the theme of "AI and computing power driving the acceleration of new - and old - energy transformation." Agricultural products will continue to show differentiation, with grains and oils relatively resistant to decline and livestock products potentially having a low - then - high trend [80][81]. - New - energy varieties (e.g., lithium carbonate) have demand support and profit - repair potential. Non - ferrous metals (e.g., copper) have valuation - increasing potential. Energy - chemical products are under pressure, and black products are affected by real - estate demand [82].

Livestock Industry - The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs emphasizes strict implementation of capacity control measures in the pig farming industry, including reducing the breeding sow inventory and controlling the weight of pigs for slaughter [1] - As of the end of October 2025, the breeding sow inventory was reported at 39.9 million heads, a decrease of 450,000 heads from September, indicating a significant decline in the national sow inventory [1] - The report predicts that the breeding sow inventory in the pig industry is expected to continue declining in the first half of 2026 [1] Beef Cattle Farming - The beef cattle farming industry is similar to the pig farming industry, characterized by low concentration and significant information asymmetry, which may lead to substantial price elasticity and expectation differences due to prolonged losses and capacity reduction [2] - There is a strong correlation between beef and raw milk prices over the long term, and when beef prices rise, dairy farms may sell dairy cows as fattening cattle, reducing the supply of raw milk and creating a linkage effect between meat and milk prices [2] Poultry Farming - The introduction of grandparent chickens is gradually recovering, maintaining high levels of inventory, with no significant signs of reduction in the short term [3] - As of the 48th week of 2025, the inventory of parent stock chickens was reported at 1.3417 million, at a historical high, with parent stock chick sales reaching a record high of 2.0059 million sets [3] Agricultural Products - For palm oil, the forecast for 2026 indicates that aging trees and reduced rainfall in production areas may hinder sustained high output, with demand being a major driver of prices [4] - The total national sugar production for the 2025/26 season is estimated to reach 11.7 million tons, with a narrowing supply-demand gap and increased imports leading to a short-term easing of domestic supply [4] New Planting - The price of cordyceps has remained high due to supply constraints, and achieving large-scale, low-cost, high-quality production requires ongoing investment in research and development [5] - Companies like Zhongxing Junye are increasing their focus on artificial cordyceps cultivation, indicating potential growth opportunities [5] Investment Recommendations - For pig farming, companies to watch include Muyuan Foods, Wens Foodstuff Group, Dekang Agriculture, and Tiankang Biological [6] - For beef farming, recommended companies include Youran Agriculture, Modern Farming, and Bright Food Group [6] - In new planting, attention is suggested for Zhongxing Junye, Hualv Biological, and Xue Rong Biological [6]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article discusses the significant drop in polysilicon prices, indicating the collapse of the previously anticipated "price alliance" in the solar industry, leading to a harsh competition phase characterized by cost elimination [2][3] - The initial stability in polysilicon prices was attributed to hopes of a self-regulating alliance among leading companies to control production and stabilize prices, which had previously led to a 40% price rebound [2][3] - The regulatory intervention from the market supervision authority clarified that the government aims to eliminate vicious competition and does not support price-fixing agreements, effectively shattering the industry's hopes for a collaborative pricing strategy [3][4] Group 2 - The current reality reveals a significant oversupply in polysilicon production, with total domestic capacity reaching approximately 2.65 million tons, while the estimated demand for 2026 is only about 1.45 million tons, resulting in a surplus of nearly 1.2 million tons [4] - The industry is also burdened by high inventory levels, which exacerbate the oversupply situation and hinder price recovery efforts [4] Group 3 - The article highlights the recent surge in coking coal prices, driven by news from a major coal-producing province regarding the removal of certain coal mines from the supply guarantee list, affecting approximately 19 million tons of production capacity [7][8] - Market sentiment is influenced by the potential shift in coal production policies, raising concerns about future supply constraints and the overall balance in the coal market [8][10] Group 4 - The lithium carbonate market has experienced a significant price increase, with the main contract closing at nearly 138,000 yuan per ton, reflecting a nearly 9% rise in a single day, driven by both supply constraints and resilient demand [12][16] - Supply-side issues include environmental regulations affecting lithium extraction in key regions, as well as production halts at major mines, which contribute to a tightening supply outlook [14][15] - Demand for lithium remains strong, particularly from the energy storage sector, which supports the overall market despite seasonal fluctuations in electric vehicle demand [16][17] Group 5 - The article discusses the impact of the cancellation of export tax rebates for PVC products, which is expected to increase costs for exporters and potentially reduce profit margins, leading to a bearish outlook for the PVC market [30][31] - The PVC industry is already facing challenges from high inventory levels and weak demand, particularly in the construction sector, which is closely tied to the real estate market's performance [32][33]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The inflection point of the large - cycle of supply has arrived. The downward limit of rubber prices is raised by inflation and the inflection point of the production - capacity cycle. With the support of interest - rate cuts on demand, policies and replacement cycles being favorable for heavy - truck demand, and real estate being the main drag, it is anticipated that the center of gravity of rubber prices will increase. It is recommended to buy rubber at an appropriate time, with the running range of ru referring to 14,000 - 18,000 yuan/ton, and an arbitrage strategy of going long on ru and short on nr is suggested [6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macroeconomy - The real - estate market has normal expectations but needs to stabilize. Domestically, there is a trend of anti - involution. Externally, the Fed's interest - rate cuts are beneficial for the capital market, but the spill - over effect of a possible US recession should be guarded against. The US plans to increase its GDP to 40 trillion US dollars by 2030, implying an annual nominal GDP growth rate of about 5.5% in the next five years, and inflation will provide support [6]. Supply - The large - cycle inflection point has arrived. Raw materials are prone to price increases and difficult to fall. Rubber farmers' inventories were cleared at a high level from 2024 - 2025. High prices will stimulate output with high elasticity, while low prices may lead to inactivity or reluctance to sell. Price has the greatest impact on output, followed by weather. The strength of raw materials and basis reflects the current strength, but the weak spread between latex and cup lump reflects the current weakness. The enthusiasm for rubber tapping is acceptable at present. The phenology of natural - rubber producing areas this year is average, with more rainfall and floods in southern Thailand in November, making raw materials relatively firm, while the processing sector is in the red. The global output of natural rubber is expected to increase by 0.75% this year. Crude oil is relatively sluggish, synthetic rubber is at a medium - low level relative to crude oil, and natural rubber is relatively high compared to synthetic rubber, with the substitution space of synthetic rubber for natural rubber approaching its peak [6]. Inventory - Qingdao's inventory is around the median level, having increased significantly compared to 2016, and the inventory - to - sales ratio is not low. However, considering the large increase in imports this year and the high proportion of exports from producing areas to China, the inventory is not considered high, with an overall neutral evaluation. Attention should be paid to the seasonal peak of inventory accumulation later. Due to the diversion of concentrated latex and production - capacity issues in Thailand, Vietnam, and China, the output of full - latex is squeezed, and the exchange warehouse receipts are at a ten - year low. The inventory of butadiene rubber is relatively high. The inventory of full - steel tires downstream is lower than last year; the inventory of semi - steel tires is de - stocking marginally from a high level, but considering the market - scale expansion, it is evaluated as neutral [6]. Demand - In 2025, real - estate data continued to deteriorate, dragging down the market. The current new construction area is less than one - third of the peak. Given the long real - estate cycle and the unfavorable population situation, it will take time for a turnaround. Affected by the sharp decline in real - estate physical work volume, the recovery of road freight volume is difficult. It caught up with the 2019 level in 2024 and continued to grow in 2025. However, heavy - truck sales still have policy and replacement - cycle support. Domestic passenger - car sales (including exports) performed well under policy stimulus, domestic substitution, and overseas market expansion, but the marginal growth rate has shown signs of fatigue. Overseas automobile sales are oscillating weakly, and overseas markets rely more on tire replacement demand. The Fed's interest - rate cuts are conducive to stimulating demand. Rubber demand follows the macro - economy, and it is expected that the global demand will grow by about 2% in 2026 [6]. Price and Spread - Spot prices of rubber have a slight rebound, with synthetic rubber having a relatively larger increase. Ru basis is at a multi - year high, the spread between full - latex and Thai mixed rubber is at a low level. Ru 1 - 9 month spread has rebounded to 5, stronger than last year, while the nr contango spread is around - 55 and weakening, and the br contango spread is around - 30 [16][21][25]. Raw Materials and Profit - Thai raw materials are moving sideways with a weakening trend, and Hainan's raw - material prices are falling. In 2025, Thai raw - material prices are relatively strong compared to finished products, indicating a tightening of raw - material production capacity. However, the weak spread between latex and cup lump implies that the supply problem is not significant. Thai processing profit is better than last year but still in the negative area, reflecting over - capacity in processing and tight raw - material supply in Thailand [35][40]. Production and Import - The Asian Natural Rubber Producers' Council (ANRPC) predicts that the cumulative global natural - rubber production in the first three quarters of this year is expected to increase by 2.3%, and consumption is expected to decrease by 1.5%. As of October, ANRPC's production has a slight increase. The global output is expected to grow by 0.75% this year. The global production capacity is approaching the ceiling. In 2024, ANRPC member countries' production decreased by 0.12%, 5.3% lower than the peak. Globally, production increased by 2% in 2024 and is predicted to increase by 0.75% in 2025. In 2024, rubber imports were lower than previous years. In the first ten months of 2025, China's cumulative imports of natural and synthetic rubber (including latex) increased by 15% compared to the same period in 2024 [74][75][85]. Demand - Side Indicators - This year, the operating rate of full - steel tires is higher than last year but still at a low level in recent years, and the operating rate of semi - steel tires is lower than last year. As of November 2025, the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of tire outer - tube production is 0.6%, with the marginal growth rate continuing to decline. The cumulative year - on - year growth rate of tire exports is 3.8%, with the growth rate also continuing to decline marginally. Heavy - truck sales still have policy and replacement - cycle support. In November 2025, China's heavy - truck market sold about 100,000 vehicles, a year - on - year increase of about 46%. From January to November this year, the cumulative sales exceeded 1 million vehicles, a year - on - year increase of about 26%. Domestic passenger - car sales (including exports) performed well but with signs of marginal fatigue. Overseas automobile sales are generally weak [107][111][116].
