Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, it indicates that both platinum and palladium are expected to be "oscillating strongly" [1][2]. Core Viewpoints - Due to concerns about the Fed's independence and escalating geopolitical risks, platinum is expected to oscillate strongly. The supply in South Africa faces power - supply and extreme - weather risks, while demand in the platinum market is in a structural expansion phase [1]. - With tariff - expectation disturbances and rising geopolitical risks, palladium is also expected to oscillate strongly. Although the long - term supply - demand for palladium is loosening, short - term spot shortages and the Fed's potential interest - rate cuts support the price [1][2]. Summary by Related Catalogs Platinum Analysis - On January 14, 2026, the closing price of the GFEX platinum main contract was 630.65 yuan/gram, with a 3.67% increase [1]. - The main logic for the strong - oscillation outlook is the resurgence of concerns about the Fed's independence and geopolitical risks, and the uncertainty of the US "233" clause on key minerals. In the future, South Africa's supply risks persist, and the demand in the platinum market is expanding in multiple fields [1]. Palladium Analysis - On January 14, 2026, the closing price of the GFEX palladium main contract was 495.5 yuan/gram, with a 1.60% increase [1]. - The market expected a 50% high - tariff on palladium from the US on January 10, which led to a supply shortage in non - US regions.

Core Viewpoint - The market's expectation for two interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year, along with escalating geopolitical risks, has driven gold prices to new historical highs, with support levels identified at $4,550 and resistance levels at $4,600 and $4,630 [1][5]. Market Analysis - Gold prices have shown strong performance, with a new historical high reached on Wednesday after a previous high on Monday. The upward trend is supported by the Fed's rate cut expectations and geopolitical tensions [2][6]. - Recent U.S. economic data, including a disappointing non-farm payroll report showing only 50,000 new jobs and lower-than-expected CPI data, has reinforced the market's belief in two rate cuts by the Fed this year [2][7]. - Geopolitical risks, including ongoing conflicts and military actions involving the U.S., have heightened market anxiety, further supporting gold as a safe-haven asset [2][7]. Technical Indicators - The daily chart indicates that gold has maintained a strong upward trend, with key support levels at $4,600 and $4,570. Resistance is noted at around $4,640, with potential for further gains if this level is breached [3][7]. - Technical indicators such as the 5-day moving average, MACD, KDJ, and RSI are showing bullish signals, suggesting that gold may continue to rise in the short term [3][7].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - The methanol 2605 contract is expected to run strongly in the short - term and oscillate in the medium - term. It was strong on the day of the report, and is expected to continue the strong pattern on Wednesday [1][5]. - The core logic is that pre - holiday overseas supply "hard contraction" is the key factor supporting the upward movement of methanol prices. Iran, a major import source, faces supply disruptions. Domestic port methanol inventory has decreased, leading to the repair of port spot prices and stronger basis, which boosts the futures market. The escalating US - Iran conflict may affect Iranian methanol plants, increasing geopolitical risks [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalog 3.1 Time - cycle Viewpoints - Short - term (within one week): The methanol 2605 contract is expected to oscillate [1]. - Medium - term (two weeks to one month): The methanol 2605 contract is expected to oscillate [1]. - Intraday: The methanol 2605 contract is expected to be strong, and the overall view is a strong run [1][5]. 3.2 Price Driving Logic - The pre - holiday overseas supply "hard contraction" is the main factor driving up methanol prices. Iran's supply is disrupted, and domestic port inventory reduction has led to price repair and stronger basis, which is reflected in the futures market [5]. - The escalating US - Iran conflict may cause military strikes on Iran, increasing geopolitical risks and potentially affecting Iranian methanol plants, further supporting the strong trend of methanol futures [5].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View - This week, crude oil rebounded and geopolitical risks escalated. Over the weekend, the unstable situation in Iran continued. Trump received a briefing on military strike plans against Iran but has not made a final decision on authorizing a strike.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2) Report's Core View - The crude oil 2603 contract is expected to be volatile in the short - and medium - term, and show a stronger trend intraday, with an overall view of stronger operation. The core reason is the escalation of the US - Iran conflict, which has led to an increase in geopolitical risks and supported the crude oil price [1][5]. 3) Summary by Related Information Time - cycle Views - Short - term (within a week): The crude oil 2603 contract is expected to be volatile [1]. - Medium - term (two weeks to one month): The crude oil 2603 contract is expected to be volatile [1]. - Intraday: The crude oil 2603 contract is expected to be stronger [1]. Price Movement Reference - The reference view is that the crude oil price will run stronger [1][5]. Core Logic - The US President Trump has frequently released geopolitical risk signals, and the US may target Greenland and Mexico. Also, the US has threatened a new round of military strikes against Iran, intensifying the Middle East geopolitical risks. The strengthening of the crude oil risk premium has weakened the dominance of the weak supply - demand pattern in the oil market, supporting the stronger operation of domestic and foreign crude oil futures prices on Tuesday night. It is expected that domestic crude oil futures prices may maintain a volatile and stronger trend on Wednesday [5]. Calculation Notes - For varieties with night trading, the starting price is the night - trading closing price; for those without night trading, it is the previous day's closing price. The ending price is the day - trading closing price for calculating the price change [2]. - A decline of more than 1% is considered weak, a decline of 0 - 1% is considered weakish, an increase of 0 - 1% is considered strongish, and an increase of more than 1% is considered strong. The strongish/weakish description only applies to intraday views, not short - and medium - term views [3][4].
