1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - After the holiday, A-shares are likely to have a restorative rebound. Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has indicated interest rate risks in the short term. The macro situation during the holiday is favorable for the market, and the prices of various commodities have different trends [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: Before the holiday, the A-share market adjusted significantly due to the rise of risk aversion. During the holiday, the Hong Kong stock market rebounded, and technology sectors such as AI and robotics attracted wide attention. It is expected that A-shares will have a restorative rebound after the holiday [1]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has indicated interest rate risks in the short term. Attention should be paid to the interest rate decision of the Bank of Japan [1]. Non-ferrous Metals - **Copper**: The macro situation during the holiday is favorable for the market, and the copper price may fluctuate strongly in the short term [1]. - **Aluminum**: The macro situation is mixed, and the aluminum price will fluctuate in the short term. The operating capacity of domestic alumina has decreased, and there are disturbances in the supply of a large alumina enterprise in North China. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of going long at a low price [1]. - **Zinc**: The negotiation between the United States and Iran has reached a deadlock, which has led to concerns about the supply of Iranian zinc mines and supported the zinc price in the short term. Attention should be paid to the resumption of production of downstream enterprises after the holiday [1]. - **Nickel**: The LME nickel price rose slightly during the holiday. Although the tailings landslide in the Indonesian QMB project has limited actual impact, there are still concerns about nickel ore supply. The nickel price will fluctuate strongly in the short term and is still affected by the resonance of the non-ferrous metal sector. Attention should be paid to changes in Indonesian policies and macro sentiment. In the long term, the high global nickel inventory may still have a suppressing effect. It is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of going long at a low price and control risks [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: The raw material nickel-iron price remains firm, the spot transaction of stainless steel is weak, the social inventory has increased slightly, and the steel mills' maintenance and production reduction have increased in February. The stainless steel futures will fluctuate strongly. Attention should be paid to the demand recovery after the holiday. It is recommended to go long at a low price in the short term and control risks [1]. - **Tin**: The uncertainty of recent macro events is relatively large. Under the influence of US tariffs and geopolitics, the short-term volatility of the tin price may increase. Although the long-term trend of the tin price remains unchanged, investors are advised to pay attention to risk management and profit protection in the short term [1]. - **Precious Metals**: The judgment of the Supreme Court that the "IEEPA tariff" is illegal and Trump's new tariff policy have intensified market concerns about uncertainty. Coupled with the escalation of the geopolitical tension between the United States and Iran, the demand for hedging has supported the price of precious metals. The macro situation is favorable for platinum, and the balance expectation of palladium may improve, which may further support the palladium price in the short term [1]. Agricultural Products - **Palm Oil**: The data of Malaysian palm oil from February 1 to 20 showed a double decline in production and exports. The Malaysian palm oil market rebounded and then faced pressure during the holiday and is expected to fluctuate [1]. - **Soybean Oil**: The US soybean oil has risen under the influence of biodiesel and crude oil prices. The domestic soybean oil may open higher but lacks new driving forces for the time being. It is recommended to wait and see [1]. - **Rapeseed**: The ICE rapeseed rose slightly during the holiday and may be affected by US biodiesel and potential domestic import demand. Attention should be paid to the release of the EPA biodiesel policy and the anti-dumping arbitration announcement of Canadian rapeseed in China [1]. - **Cotton**: The domestic new cotton crop has a strong expectation of a bumper harvest, and the purchase price of seed cotton supports the cost of lint cotton. The downstream startup rate remains low, but the inventory of spinning mills is not high, and there is a rigid demand for replenishment. The cotton market is currently in a situation of "having support but no driving force." Future attention should be paid to the tone of the No. 1 Central Document in the first quarter of next year regarding direct subsidy prices and cotton planting areas, the intention of cotton planting areas next year, weather during the planting period, and the peak demand season from March to April [1]. - **Sugar**: The global sugar market is in surplus, and the domestic new sugar supply is increasing. The short-selling consensus is relatively consistent. If the price continues to fall, there will be strong cost support below, but the short-term fundamentals lack continuous driving forces. Attention should be paid to changes in the capital market [1]. - **Corn**: After the holiday, attention should be paid to the selling pressure of on-the-ground grain in the production areas. However, the quality of Northeast grain is relatively dry this year, and the selling pressure is expected to be limited under the support of the rigid replenishment demand of the middle and lower reaches. In addition, attention should be paid to the release of policy grain and the implementation of import restrictions after the holiday. The overall expectation is to maintain range fluctuations [1]. - **Soybean Meal**: The US tariff policy has changed during the holiday, but the external market fluctuated little, which has limited guidance for the domestic soybean meal market. The Brazilian soybean premium has declined, and the soybean meal market is expected to fluctuate. Attention should be paid to Sino-US trade dynamics and Brazilian selling pressure in the near future [1]. - **Coniferous Pulp**: There is no obvious positive news for coniferous pulp during the Spring Festival. The previous positive factors on the supply side have basically faded. It is expected to fluctuate in the range of 5200 - 5400 in the short term. Attention should be paid to the port inventory after the holiday [1]. - **Log**: The spot price of logs has risen, the log arrivals in February have decreased, and the external quotation is expected to rise. The futures market has an upward driving force [1]. Energy and Chemicals - **Fuel Oil**: OPEC+ has suspended production increases until the end of 2026, the Middle East geopolitical situation is still uncertain, and the sentiment in the commodity market has cooled down. The short-term supply-demand contradiction is not prominent, and it follows the trend of crude oil [1]. - **Asphalt**: The raw material cost has strong support, the sentiment in the commodity market is changeable, the risk appetite of funds has decreased, the downstream demand has weakened before the holiday, and the basis difference has expanded to the high level of the same period [1]. - **Butadiene**: The cost end of butadiene has strong support, the overseas cracking device capacity has been cleared, which is beneficial to the long-term domestic butadiene export expectation. The profit of private cis-butadiene plants has remained in a loss state recently, and the expectation of maintenance and load reduction has increased. The downstream negative feedback has been gradually realized. The butadiene market is in a state of destocking, and the high inventory of cis-butadiene is still a potential negative factor. Attention should be paid to the inventory reduction of cis-butadiene before the Spring Festival and the trading performance of the butadiene market. The short-term market is expected to fluctuate widely, and the BR still has an upward expectation in the long term [1]. - **PX**: The PX-mixed xylene price difference has narrowed to $150, which is still enough to support PX manufacturers to purchase mixed xylene as raw materials. PX maintains fundamental resilience during the high-level correction, and there are still risks of crude oil prices due to the Iranian geopolitical risk. The downstream PTA industry continues to be strong, and the domestic PTA output in January is expected to reach a new high, and there is no plan to reduce production during the Spring Festival, and there is no new PTA production capacity throughout the year [1]. - **Ethylene**: The production profit rate of naphtha cracking has declined due to the rise in raw material prices. The price difference between ethylene and naphtha has reached $83. Several Korean ethylene producers plan to maintain the operating rate of their cracking devices in February. The ethylene glycol price is waiting at a low level [1]. - **Styrene**: The high inventory of pure benzene has weak import demand, and the price difference between the United States and Asia is $88, which is not enough to open the arbitrage window. The Asian styrene price and economic situation have recovered, mainly driven by supply tightening, unexpected shutdowns in the Middle East, surging export demand, and rising cost ends. The continuous strong export, short-term supply gap caused by domestic maintenance, and speculative buying driven by chemical futures support the firmness of the spot price [1]. - **Methanol**: Methanol is generally affected by the Iranian situation, and the future import is expected to decrease, but the downstream negative feedback is obvious. The leading MTO device has stopped, and some enterprises have reduced production, but the Fude plant restarted on January 25. The Iranian situation has eased, but the risk cannot be completely ruled out. The freight has risen due to the cold air in the inland area, and the inventory pressure of enterprises in the northwest has increased, and they have reduced prices to sell goods [1]. - **PVC**: In 2026, there will be less global production, and the differential electricity price in the northwest region is expected to be implemented, which will force the clearance of PVC production capacity. The future expectation is relatively optimistic, but the current fundamentals are poor, and the export rush has slowed down stage by stage [1]. - **LPG**: The CP price in February has risen, and the purchase in March is still relatively tight. The Middle East geopolitical conflict has cooled down, and the short-term risk premium has declined. The driving logic of the overseas cold wave has gradually slowed down, and the market expectation is weakening. It is expected that the basis will gradually expand. The domestic PDH operating rate has declined, and the profit is expected to recover seasonally. The short-term demand side of LPG is bearish, which suppresses the upward movement of the market. The port inventory has been continuously decreasing, but the domestic civil gas is relatively sufficient, showing a divergence between propane and PG [1]. Shipping - **Container Shipping**: The freight rate peaked and fell before the holiday. Airlines are still cautious about tentative resume flights. Airlines are expected to have a strong willingness to stop the decline and raise prices after the off-season in March [1].

Spot Market - On February 13th, the spot prices of Shanghai rebar, Tianjin rebar, and Guangzhou rebar were 3210.00 yuan/ton, 3140.00 yuan/ton, and 3400.00 yuan/ton respectively, with no change; the price of Tangshan billet was 2900.00 yuan/ton with no change; the Platts Index was 96.40 with no change [1]. - On February 13th, the spot prices of Shanghai hot - rolled coil, Hangzhou hot - rolled coil, and Guangzhou hot - rolled coil were 3230.00 yuan/ton, 3260.00 yuan/ton, and 3230.00 yuan/ton respectively, with no change; the billet - to - product price difference was 310.00 yuan/ton with no change; the price of PB at Rizhao Port was 753.00 yuan/ton with a decline of 9.00 yuan [1]. - On February 13th, the spot prices of Super Special Powder at Qingdao Port, a certain product, coking coal at Ganqimao, and quasi - first - grade coke at Qingdao Port (ex - warehouse) were 645.00 yuan/ton, 699.00 yuan/ton, 1230.00 yuan/ton, and 1480.00 yuan/ton respectively. The price of Super Special Powder and a certain product declined by 5.00 yuan, and the price of PB at Qingdao Port declined by 8.00 yuan [1]. Steel - During the Spring Festival, the global equity markets mostly rose, and the market risk appetite was generally positive. The Singapore iron ore swap, a related overseas variety, declined slightly. The iron ore EF main contract closed at 95.35 on February 23rd at 9:30, a decrease of 1.9 US dollars (-1.9%) compared to the price of 97.25 at 15:00 on February 13th. The domestic spot market has not started yet, and the spot price of Tangshan billet remained stable at 2890 - 2900 yuan/ton during the holiday [2]. - After the Spring Festival, there will be a pulse high point in spot inventory, and the inventory is expected to be slightly higher than normal. Plate and billet inventories are at historical highs. The pressure of winter storage is not large this year, and the active selling pressure of spot goods is expected to be light. The late Spring Festival and good post - festival weather are conducive to resuming work and production, and the policy signals from the Two Sessions may be a macro - driving point [2]. Manganese - Silicon and Ferrosilicon - During the holiday, the macro and industrial fundamentals remained stable. After the holiday, the molten iron output is expected to rise, and the direct demand is expected to improve. The overall profit of alloy plants is under pressure but has improved stage - by - stage. The production and operating rate are lower than the same period last year, and the overall production remains stable. However, the driving force for alloy plants to reduce or control production is insufficient, and the pressure of medium - term oversupply remains [3]. - Policy benefits and cost support are positive for prices. The quotes of overseas mainstream manganese mines to China have risen, strengthening the cost support for manganese - silicon. The electricity price fluctuates, and the cost center of double - silicon has shifted upward. Industrial policies such as "dual - carbon", energy - consumption dual - control, and anti - involution policies have an impact on the supply of double - silicon and strengthen the expectation of cost support [3]. Coking Coal and Coke - During the holiday, the spot market was on vacation. The price of quasi - first - grade wet - quenched coke at ports was 1470 (no change week - on - week), and the price of quasi - first - grade dry - quenched coke was 1670 (no change week - on - week). The coking coal price index was 272.1 (no change week - on - week). The inventory of Mongolian coal in the supervision area exceeded 4 million tons, and the sales pressure of trading enterprises increased, with prices showing a downward trend. The mainstream Mongolian No. 5 raw coal at Ganqimao Port was quoted at 1010 - 1020 yuan/ton [5]. - During the holiday, affected by factors such as the repeated changes in US tariff policies, the military confrontation between the US and Iran, and the AI narrative, most overseas risk assets rose, which was beneficial to market risk appetite. Since part of the post - holiday decline expectation of the black sector was realized by pre - holiday funds, it is not recommended to enter the market unilaterally after the holiday. It is advisable to wait and see first [5]. - The domestic spot market has not started yet. The supply side will recover first, and domestic coal mine supply and Mongolian coal customs clearance are expected to gradually resume this week. The demand side, including coking and downstream steel mills, will also gradually recover, but due to environmental protection restrictions before the major meeting in March and the uncertainty of the recovery of terminal industries, combined with the seasonal active de - stocking of coking coal and coke by downstream steel mills, the recovery of the downstream is expected to be weaker than that of the supply side [5]. - In the short - term, the black spot market may continue the off - season characteristics before the holiday, showing a pattern of strong supply and weak demand. However, considering that the downstream demand will start after the Two Sessions, the market can still expect the subsequent peak - season performance in the next two weeks, which depends on the overall market risk appetite and domestic macro - guidance. In the long - term, the market is still pessimistic about the coking coal 05 contract, and the futures price may gradually test the support at the cost of Mongolian coal agreements (expected to be around 900 - 950). It is recommended that industries actively establish cash - and - carry positions if the market presents upward opportunities, and wait and see for unilateral positions in the short - term [5]. Iron Ore - During the long holiday, the overseas market generally performed strongly, but iron ore was one of the varieties with a relatively large decline. On February 14th, an accident occurred at the Simfor mining area in Simandou, and production was suspended, but it did not affect the price. As of 7:00 on February 21st, the swap declined 1.39% to 95.8 [6]. - This year's Spring Festival is late, which means that the market demand will start quickly after the new year. The "Two Sessions" in early March may release macro - policy signals. The post - holiday market environment is expected to be warm, but it needs to be verified in real - time.
