Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating but gives specific trading suggestions for various futures products [1]. Core Views of the Report - The report analyzes the market trends and provides trading strategies for different futures sectors including macro - finance, black building materials, non - ferrous metals, energy chemicals, cotton - spinning industry chain, and agricultural livestock. It takes into account factors such as geopolitical situations, supply - demand relationships, and cost changes [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: Medium - to long - term optimistic, recommend buying on dips. Trump's signal of easing tensions and the repair of market liquidity and risk appetite may lead to a moderately strong and volatile operation of the stock index [1][5]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Expected to move in a volatile manner. Although the capital situation and institutional allocation behavior are favorable for the bond market, fundamental factors are subtly affecting the bond interest rate center. Short - term market rhythm depends on bond allocation power, and medium - term attention should be paid to inflation and economic recovery expectations [1][6]. Black Building Materials - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Short - term trading is recommended. Domestic coking coal production has recovered, and the inventory transfer of coking coal and coke is smooth. The market is trading the substitution effect of coal for oil and gas, so short - term prices are expected to be strong [1][8]. - **Rebar**: Interval trading is suggested. Rebar futures prices are below the electric furnace valley electricity cost, and the fundamentals show that the steel inventory has peaked and declined, with production and demand recovering. It is expected to operate in a moderately strong and volatile manner in the short term [1][9]. - **Glass**: Selling out - of - the - money call options is recommended. The glass futures declined last week, with downstream replenishment ending and production and sales falling.

The raw material soda ash is under pressure, and the disk is expected to operate in a moderately weak and volatile manner with a small rebound possibility [1][10][11]. Non - Ferrous Metals - **Copper**: Moderately short on rallies. Macro factors have an increasing negative impact on copper prices, but domestic consumption is better than expected and inventory is decreasing. Overseas inventory is accumulating, and the supply side has some support in the second quarter. Pay close attention to the war situation, global economic recession expectations, and inventory reduction progress [1][13][14][15]. - **Aluminum**: Strengthen observation. The price of domestic bauxite is stable, and the export restriction policy of Guinea's bauxite is expected to be mild. The operating capacity of alumina and electrolytic aluminum has changed. The Middle East situation is generally positive for aluminum, but it may fall in the short term. Wait for the market sentiment to stabilize before entering the market [1][16]. - **Nickel**: Observe. The price of nickel ore is strong, but the demand for refined nickel is average with inventory accumulation. The price of nickel iron is expected to be strong, and the price of stainless steel is in a game between cost support and weak demand. The price of nickel sulfate is expected to be strong. Overall, nickel prices are expected to be moderately strong and volatile [1][18]. - **Tin**: Interval trading is recommended. The production of refined tin has decreased, and the import of tin concentrate has increased. The semiconductor industry is recovering, and the inventory is at a medium level. The supply of tin concentrate is tight, and the price is expected to continue wide - range fluctuations [1][19][20]. - **Gold and Silver**: Both are expected to move in a volatile manner. The Fed's interest - rate decisions, the Middle East situation, and inflation expectations affect their prices. Although there are short - term price corrections, the medium - term price centers are expected to move up. It is recommended to observe and trade cautiously [1][21][22]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Expected to fluctuate within a range. The supply is affected by mine production and imports, and the demand is strong. The supply and demand are both increasing, and the price is expected to continue to fluctuate [1][23]. Energy Chemicals - **PVC**: Moderately strong and volatile. The cost is at a low level, the supply is high, the domestic demand is weak, but the export is expected to maintain a high growth rate. Pay attention to policies and risk events related to export tax rebates, supply, and cost [1][24][25]. - **Caustic Soda**: Moderately strong and volatile. The demand from Guangxi's alumina production provides support, and exports are expected to increase under the influence of the geopolitical situation. There are maintenance expectations in March, and the price is expected to rebound strongly at a low valuation. Be cautious about chasing the rise [1][26]. - **Styrene**: Moderately strong and volatile. The cost is supported by rising oil prices. The domestic inventory after the Spring Festival is low, and exports are expected to be significant in March, with inventory pressure easing. It is recommended to buy on dips but not chase the high [1][27][28]. - **Polyolefins**: Moderately strong and volatile. The cost is supported by rising oil and gas prices, and there are expectations of production cuts in petrochemical plants. The demand is supported by the increase in downstream开工率 after the festival. Pay attention to downstream demand, inventory, the Iranian situation, and oil price fluctuations [1][29]. - **Rubber**: Moderately strong and volatile. There is a game between the support of synthetic rubber and high inventory pressure. The overseas raw material price is strong, and the downstream demand is stable. It is not recommended to chase the high, and wait for adjustment opportunities [1][30]. - **Urea**: Moderately strong and volatile, with interval trading recommended. The supply is at a relatively high level, the demand from agricultural fertilizer preparation and compound fertilizer production is increasing, and the inventory is decreasing. Pay attention to compound fertilizer开工, urea plant maintenance, export policies, and coal price fluctuations [1][31]. - **Methanol**: Moderately strong and volatile, with interval trading recommended. The supply - side capacity utilization rate is high, and the demand from the methanol - to - olefins industry is increasing slightly. The traditional downstream demand is weak, and the inventory is decreasing [1][32][33]. - **Soda Ash**: Short on rallies. The supply is expected to remain high with the increase in Far Eastern's second - phase load, and the inventory pressure is increasing. The price is at a low level, and it is expected to continue to be under pressure in the short term [1][34]. Cotton - Spinning Industry Chain - **Cotton and Cotton Yarn**: Moderately strong and volatile. The global cotton production is increasing, and consumption is slightly decreasing, resulting in an increase in inventory. The domestic spot market is active, and the chemical fiber market has a positive impact on cotton. The price is expected to be moderately strong and volatile [1][36]. - **Apples**: Expected to move in a volatile manner. The apple market is polarized, with good - quality goods in high demand. The prices in different regions vary, and the sales area's arrival volume and sales are average [1][37]. - **Red Dates**: Expected to move in a volatile manner. The acquisition price of Xinjiang gray dates in the 2025 production season is in a certain range, and the post - holiday repurchase by merchants is sporadic, while the inventory holders are more willing to sell [1][38]. Agricultural Livestock - **Hogs**: For contracts 05 and 07, adopt a short - on - rebound strategy; for contract 09, treat it in a volatile manner. The current supply is excessive, and the demand is in the off - season, so the price is in a bottom - building stage. In the medium - to long - term, the supply is expected to tighten in the second half of the year, but the price increase depends on the capacity reduction [1][40][41]. - **Eggs**: Expected to fluctuate within a range. The national egg price is stable with a slight increase, and the demand is supported by the approaching Tomb - Sweeping Festival. The supply pressure is gradually relieved, and the price is close to the cost line. In the medium - to long - term, the inventory is expected to improve, but the capacity clearance takes time [1][42][43]. - **Corn**: Short - term interval trading is recommended. The domestic corn spot price fluctuates slightly, with a differentiation between the production and sales areas. The supply in the Northeast is tight, while that in North China is relatively loose. The demand from feed and deep - processing enterprises is stable, and the wheat substitution expectation is rising. The overall supply - demand pattern is relatively loose but with strong bottom support [1][44]. - **Soybean Meal**: Be cautious about chasing the long on the 05 contract under capital disturbance. The price of US soybeans is affected by factors such as Trump's visit delay, oil price, and Brazilian shipping progress. The domestic supply in March - April is expected to be tight, but the hedging profit of 05 and 07 contracts may suppress their performance [1][45][46]. - **Oils and Fats**: Recommended to roll long on oils and fats and gradually reduce the previous long positions. The prices of palm oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil are rising. Palm oil has a strong inventory - reduction expectation in March, soybean oil is affected by Sino - US negotiations and US biodiesel policies, and rapeseed oil is affected by the Middle East situation and import policies. The overall price is expected to be high and volatile, with palm oil relatively weak [1][47][48][49][50][51][52].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view of the natural rubber industry is bearish [3] Core View of the Report - Macro利空 factors have led to a continuous weak decline in rubber prices. The normal tapping expectations in the production areas are strong, and the mid - stream inventory has entered the destocking process. However, the current futures - spot price difference is still high, and the Middle East situation has disturbed market sentiment. In the short term, rubber may show a weak and volatile performance [3] Summary by Directory 1. Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: The supply is bearish. In China, the rubber trees in Hainan and Yunnan are growing well, with minor impacts from drought and powdery mildew. In Thailand, the country is mostly in the off - season, with tight raw material supply and rising procurement prices. In Vietnam, it is in the seasonal off - season, expected to start tapping from late March to early April, and a small amount of raw materials from Laos has eased the supply pressure [3] - **Demand**: The demand is neutral. As of last week, the capacity utilization rate of the all - steel tire sample enterprises in China was 72.21%, a week - on - week increase of 0.41 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 3.31 percentage points; the capacity utilization rate of the semi - steel tire sample enterprises was 79.32%, a week - on - week increase of 0.59 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 0.05 percentage points. It is expected that the capacity utilization rate of tire sample enterprises will fluctuate slightly in the next period [3] - **Inventory**: The inventory situation is neutral. As of March 15, 2026, China's natural rubber social inventory was 1.3649 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 15,600 tons, a decrease of 1.13%; the total social inventory of dark rubber was 921,000 tons, a decrease of 1.34%; the total social inventory of light rubber was 443,900 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 0.68% [3] - **Basis/Spread**: The basis/spread is bearish. The RU - mixed spread and the RU - NR spread have both narrowed slightly [3] - **Profit**: The profit situation is neutral. The theoretical production profit of Thai standard rubber has increased losses compared with the previous period, and the profit analysis of Hainan concentrated latex has been suspended due to the off - season in domestic production areas [3] - **Valuation**: The valuation is neutral. The current absolute price is at a moderately high level overall [3] - **Market Sentiment**: The market sentiment is bearish. Rising oil prices and inflation expectations have suppressed the Fed's rate - cut space, and the Middle East geopolitical situation has increased concerns about rubber demand [3] - **Investment View**: The investment view is bearish. The phenological conditions in the production areas are good, and the normal tapping expectations are strong. Although the mid - stream inventory has entered the destocking process, the current futures - spot price difference is still high, and the Middle East situation has disturbed market sentiment. In the short term, it may show a weak and volatile performance [3] - **Trading Strategy**: For single - side trading, try to go long in the range of 15,800 - 16,000. For arbitrage, go long on NR and short on RU [3] 2. Futures and Spot Market Review - **Futures Market**: This week, rubber prices have fallen significantly. As of the close on March 20, the RU main contract closed at 16,000 yuan/ton, a weekly decrease of 765 yuan/ton (- 4.56%); the 20 - number rubber main contract closed at 12,865 yuan/ton, a weekly decrease of 455 yuan/ton (- 3.42%) [6] - **Spot Market**: Spot prices have declined [8] - **Positions on the Futures Board**: The RU 2505 contract has entered the main contract transfer stage, and both RU and NR positions have decreased [15][21] - **Price Spreads on the Futures Board**: The RU - NR spread has narrowed, and the RU2609 - RU2605 spread has widened [26] 3.

The copper price reached a new high and is currently oscillating downward. Attention should be paid to Middle - East events [2] - The global policy is loose and the mining end is in short supply, with natural disasters as a risk [3] - There are multiple factors affecting copper prices, including geopolitical disturbances such as the Russia - Ukraine and Iran - US - Israel situations, potential Fed rate cuts, slow mining production increase, and the production cut event at Freeport's Indonesian mining area on the positive side; and the repeated US comprehensive tariffs and the global economic situation suppressing downstream consumption on the negative side [4] Group 3: Summaries Based on Related Catalogs Daily View - Fundamentals are bullish as supply has disturbances, the manufacturing PMI declined, and the scrap - copper policy is relaxed [2] - The basis shows a premium of the spot price over the futures price, which is bullish [2] - Inventory: On March 20, copper inventory increased by 6,925 to 342,350 tons, and the SHFE copper inventory decreased by 22,337 tons to 411,121 tons compared to last week, which is bearish [2] - The closing price is below the 20 - day moving average with the 20 - day moving average moving downward, which is bearish [2] - The main positions are net long and the long positions are increasing, which is bullish [2] Recent利多利空Analysis - Bullish factors: Geopolitical disturbances, Fed rate cuts, slow mining production increase, and the production cut event at Freeport's Indonesian mining area [4] - Bearish factors: Repeated US comprehensive tariffs and the global economic situation suppressing downstream consumption [4] Inventory - The bonded - area inventory has rebounded from a low level [13] Processing Fee - The processing fee has declined [15] Supply - Demand Balance - In 2024, there is a slight surplus, and in 2025, it will be in a tight - balance state [19] - The Chinese annual supply - demand balance table shows the production, import, export, apparent consumption, actual consumption, and supply - demand balance of copper from 2018 to 2024 [21]

Market Reaction - The escalation of tensions in the Middle East has led to significant declines in the Japanese and South Korean stock markets, with the Nikkei 225 index dropping over 3% and the KOSPI index falling more than 4% [1][2][3]. Stock Index Performance - The Nikkei 225 index opened at 52,479.81 and closed at 51,310.31, reflecting a decrease of 2,015.43 points or 3.78% [2]. - The KOSPI index opened at 5,580.15 and closed at 5,521.39, down by 259.81 points or 4.49% [3]. Precious Metals Market - Spot gold prices fell below $4,430 per ounce, with a daily decline of 1.55%, while silver also experienced a nearly 1% drop [3]. Geopolitical Impact on Commodities - The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has led to rising oil prices, which in turn has increased inflation expectations. This situation has made it more challenging for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, resulting in upward pressure on real interest rates that suppress gold and silver prices [4]. - Investors are prioritizing liquidity, favoring the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury bonds over gold, while funds are shifting from precious metals to oil and energy assets that directly benefit from the conflict [4]. Future Outlook for Gold Prices - Short-term projections indicate that gold prices will remain under pressure due to high oil prices and a strong dollar, which will likely keep the Federal Reserve's interest rates elevated for a longer period [5]. - However, if the conflict persists, there may be a significant impact on inflation and economic growth, leading to increased demand for gold. In the medium to long term, as the effects of rising oil prices diminish and inflation gradually recedes, the Federal Reserve's eventual rate cuts, along with ongoing central bank gold purchases and a weakening dollar, could support a rebound in gold prices [5].

Core Viewpoint - Since the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East at the end of February, crude oil prices have continued to rise, raising concerns about stagflation. The March FOMC meeting took a hawkish stance, triggering tightening trades, and the market began to speculate on the possibility of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates within the year. The Fed's hawkish policy stance aligns with expectations, but "not lowering rates" may be the "bottom line," with subsequent attention on the "negative feedback" from tightening financial conditions [2][106]. Group 1: Major Assets & Overseas Events & Data - Oil prices continued to rise, while gold and silver prices fell sharply. The S&P 500 index dropped by 1.9%, the 10Y U.S. Treasury yield rose by 11 basis points, and the dollar index fell to 99.51. Brent crude oil prices increased by 8.8% to $112.2 per barrel, while COMEX gold prices fell by 8.9% to $4576.3 per ounce, and COMEX silver prices dropped by 12.7% to $69.5 per ounce [3][105]. - The issuance scale of U.S. Treasury bonds increased, while the fiscal deficit was lower than the same period last year. As of March 18, the U.S. TGA balance decreased to $875.8 billion, down from mid-February 2026, and the rolling net issuance of U.S. Treasury bonds rose to $14.572 billion [48][105]. - The March FOMC meeting maintained a hawkish tone, with February's PPI in the U.S. exceeding market expectations, driven mainly by food and energy [62][105]. Group 2: U.S. Treasury and Fiscal Data - As of March 18, the U.S. TGA balance decreased to $875.8 billion, showing a significant decline compared to mid-February 2026. The net issuance of U.S. Treasury bonds for the week rose to $14.572 billion [43][105]. - The cumulative fiscal deficit for the U.S. as of March 17 was $462.9 billion, lower than the $512.0 billion recorded in the same period last year. Cumulative expenditures reached $1842.3 billion, compared to $1766.1 billion last year [48][105]. Group 3: Federal Reserve and Interest Rate Expectations - The market has significantly revised down its expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Following the March FOMC meeting, the Fed maintained rates but signaled a hawkish outlook, leading to a rapid adjustment in market expectations regarding rate cuts [62][105]. - The probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in 2026 increased from 0% a month ago to 12% as of March 20, indicating a shift in market sentiment towards potential tightening [102][105]. Group 4: European Central Bank and Inflation - The European Central Bank (ECB) decided to keep interest rates unchanged, aligning with market expectations, while significantly raising inflation forecasts due to the impact of the Middle East conflict on energy prices [66][67]. - The ECB's baseline forecast for 2026 GDP growth was revised down to 0.9%, while HICP inflation and core HICP inflation were raised to 2.6% and 2.2%, respectively [66][69].
