Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No information available Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The 12th Fed FOMC meeting will be held, and continued rate cuts are still the likely scenario, but the market is still worried about hawkish statements, leading to a significant correction in pro - cyclical assets. A - shares' trading volume has increased recently, and after confirming the stage bottom, the low - volatility period is expected to end with a rise in volatility [3]. - The Fed's easing expectations are continuously rising, leading to a general increase in precious metals. Silver has broken through and reached a new high, but the upward momentum has weakened due to weak physical delivery demand and gold price stagnation [3]. - The EC main contract is oscillating upward, and it is expected to oscillate in the short term [3]. - Raw material price drops are dragging down steel prices. The strategy of going long on rebar and short on iron ore has been exited, and the strategy of narrowing the spread between hot - rolled coil and rebar in January can continue to be held [3]. - The supply and demand imbalance of ultra - long - term bond varieties is difficult to reverse in the short term. If market sentiment improves, light - position long positions can be taken in bond varieties within 10 years, and 30 - year varieties should be avoided for now. The bond market's sharp decline stage may have passed, and bond futures may return to oscillation in the short term [3].

Platinum and palladium's market fluctuations have narrowed, and an intraday short - term high - selling and low - buying operation strategy is recommended [3]. Shipping Index (European Line) - The EC2602 main contract is oscillating upward, and short - term oscillation is expected [3]. Steel and Related Metals - For steel, raw material price drops are dragging down prices.

For coking coal, the price cut range in production areas has expanded, and the Mongolian coal price has declined, with the futures price falling weakly. For coke, the first round of price cuts in December has been implemented, and the port trade price has led the decline, with an expected range of 1450 - 1600 [3]. Non - ferrous Metals - For copper, downstream demand is weakening, and attention should be paid to the structural risk of overseas inventories. Long - term long positions can be held, and short - term long positions should take profits on rallies. For aluminum, due to repeated macro - level disturbances, attention should be paid to the final decision of the Fed FOMC meeting. For zinc, exports support the price, and attention should be paid to cross - market reverse arbitrage opportunities. For tin, the fundamentals are strong, and previous long positions can be continued, with a strategy of buying on dips [3]. New Energy - Related Commodities - For industrial silicon, due to the decline in coking coal prices and the expected production control of polysilicon, the price has dropped, and positions are recommended to be closed. For polysilicon, with the news of the establishment of a platform company, the futures price has continued to rise, and it is recommended to wait and see.

Summaries by Related Catalogs Black Industry - **Iron Ore**: In 2026, global mines will add 64 - 65 million tons, with a growth rate far exceeding that of crude steel. Current iron - making water production is decreasing, plate inventory is high, and steel mill maintenance is expected to increase. Although macro - sentiment may warm up, real improvement depends on the peak season next year. After the stock - replenishment and sentiment boost, there are opportunities to short on rebounds. [2] - **Coal Coke**: Some coke enterprises have turned profitable, but steel mills are still in the red. November's Mongolian coal imports may reach a new high, and there is supply pressure. The first round of coke price cuts in December has landed, and there are still expectations for further cuts. However, there is support at the bottom due to downstream stock - replenishment demand and coal production reduction expectations. [2] - **Rolled Steel and Rebar**: Steel demand is weak, and the winter stock - replenishment has not started. The key to steel price stabilization is whether the production cut in the fourth quarter of 2025 can exceed 5% and the implementation of anti - "involution" policies. Currently, prices are in a bottom - volatile state. [2] - **Glass**: The price in the Shahe area has weakened again, and demand is insufficient.

[4] - **Logs**: The daily shipment volume at ports has increased, but the demand improvement needs further observation. The import volume from New Zealand has decreased, and the expected arrival volume has increased. The port inventory has decreased, and the spot market price is stable. [4] Light Industry - **Pulp**: The spot market price shows a differentiated trend, with the cost support for pulp price increasing. However, the papermaking industry's profitability is low, and demand is weak, so the pulp price is expected to return to a volatile state.

However, weak social demand restricts price increases, and the price is expected to remain volatile. [7] Oils and Fats - **Oils**: The demand for US soybean crushing is strong, but the biodiesel policy is uncertain, and exports are weak. The production and inventory of Malaysian palm oil in October exceeded expectations, and exports in November decreased. The domestic oil supply is abundant, and demand from the catering industry is weak. With cost support, the price is expected to be range - bound. [7] - **Meals**: The US soybean supply is structurally tight, but the global supply is relatively loose. Brazilian soybeans have an advantage in export price. The domestic soybean meal supply is abundant, and demand from the breeding industry is cautious. The price is expected to be weak and volatile. [7][8] Agricultural Products - **Pigs**: The average trading weight shows a north - rising and south - falling trend. The terminal demand growth is limited, and the settlement price may decline further.

[8] Soft Commodities - **Rubber**: The supply in domestic and foreign rubber - producing areas is affected by weather, and the demand support is insufficient. The inventory is accumulating, and the price is expected to be weak and volatile. [10] Polyester - **PX**: With the resumption of oil production in Iraq, oil prices have declined. The PX supply is high, but downstream demand has increased, and the PXN spread is temporarily stable. The price is widely volatile. [10] - **PTA**: The cost side is unstable due to oil price fluctuations. Although short - term supply and demand have improved, the industry will weaken seasonally, and the price is expected to follow the cost side. [10] - **MEG**: There is still long - term inventory build - up pressure, and the short - term supply has decreased. The price is weakly volatile, and the spot basis is weakening. [10] - **PR and PF**: The polyester bottle - chip market is expected to be weak due to low oil prices and weak terminal demand. The short - fiber market price may be weakly sorted due to low prices, weak demand, and weakening cost support. [10]
