1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - In the short - term, before the Spring Festival, stock index futures are expected to oscillate strongly to accumulate strength for further upward movement, and long - term long positions in stock index futures should be held [1]. - Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has recently warned of interest rate risks, and attention should be paid to the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision [1]. - Before the Spring Festival, downstream demand is still weak, market participation has declined, and copper, aluminum, and alumina prices are expected to oscillate [1]. - The cost center of zinc fundamentals is stabilizing. Due to the increasing risk - aversion sentiment in the market, zinc prices are expected to decline and then stabilize, and it is recommended to wait and see [1]. - Market sentiment has improved. Indonesia's ESDM has issued a nickel ore RKAB quota of 2.6 - 2.7 billion tons in 2026, and the approval of nickel ore quotas has been slow recently, increasing concerns about future nickel ore supply. In the short - term, nickel prices are expected to be strong, but are still affected by the resonance of the non - ferrous metal sector. It is recommended to pay attention to Indonesian policies and macro - sentiment. In the medium - to long - term, the high global nickel inventory may still have a suppressing effect [1]. - The raw material end of stainless steel still has support, and with the improvement of macro - sentiment, stainless steel futures are expected to oscillate strongly. It is recommended to go long at low prices in the short - term and hold light positions during the holiday [1]. - In the short - term, macro - negative factors have been exhausted, but the volatility of tin prices is still large. In the short - term, investors are advised to focus on risk management and profit protection [1]. - The weak US dollar index, uncertain geopolitical situation in the Middle East, and China's continuous gold purchases for 15 months support precious metal prices.

The production of polysilicon and organic silicon in December has declined [1]. - In the new energy vehicle industry, it is the off - season, but energy storage demand is strong, and there is a rush to export batteries. The price has risen significantly and there is a need for a correction [1]. - For rebar and hot - rolled coils, the expectation is strong, but the spot market is weak, and the upward momentum is insufficient. It is recommended to exit long positions and participate in cash - and - carry arbitrage [1]. - For iron ore, there is obvious upward pressure, and it is not recommended to chase the long position at this level [1]. - For silicon iron and glass, the reality is weak, but the expectation is strong.

Future attention should be paid to the central government's No. 1 document in the first quarter of next year, planting area intentions, weather during the planting period, and peak - season demand [1]. - For sugar, there is a global surplus and an increase in domestic new - crop supply. There is a strong consensus among short - sellers. If the price continues to fall, there is strong cost support, but there is a lack of continuous driving force in the short - term [1]. - For corn, before the Spring Festival, trading is coming to an end, and the price fluctuation is limited. After the festival, attention should be paid to the selling pressure of ground - stored grain, policy - grain release, import arrivals, and new - season wheat growth. It is expected to oscillate within a range [1]. - For soybeans, the increase in US soybean export expectations boosts the US market, but the decline in Brazilian discounts partially offsets the impact.

The Asia - US spread is not enough to open the arbitrage window. The Asian styrene price and economic situation are recovering, supported by supply tightening, unexpected Middle East shutdowns, surging export demand, and rising costs [1]. - For urea, the export sentiment has eased, the domestic demand has limited upside, but there is anti - involution and cost support [1]. - For methanol, it is affected by the situation in Iran, with expected import reduction, but there is obvious downstream negative feedback.

Inland transportation costs have risen due to cold air, and northwest enterprises have large inventory - clearing pressure and are selling at reduced prices [2]. - For crude oil, it oscillates strongly, the price has returned to a reasonable range, and the pre - festival inventory replenishment has ended, with flat demand during the holiday [2]. - For PVC, there is less global production in 2026, the differential electricity price in the northwest region is expected to be implemented, forcing the elimination of PVC production capacity, and the future expectation is optimistic, but the current fundamentals are poor, and the rush to export has slowed down [2]. - For liquid chlorine, the macro - sentiment has temporarily subsided, the market is trading fundamentals again, the fundamentals are weak, the absolute price is at a low level, the price of liquid chlorine has weakened, and the spot price has risen slightly [2]. - For LPG, the CP price in February has risen, the purchase in March is still relatively tight, the short - term risk premium of the Middle East geopolitical conflict has declined, the driving logic of the overseas cold wave has gradually slowed down, the market expectation is weakening, the basis is expected to widen, the domestic PDH operating rate has declined, the profit is expected to recover seasonally, and the demand side is short - term bearish, suppressing the upward movement of the futures price. The ports are continuously reducing inventory, but the domestic civil gas is sufficient, showing a divergence between propane and PG [2]. - For container shipping, the pre - festival freight rate has peaked and declined, airlines are still cautious about trial resumption of flights, and airlines expect to stop the price decline and raise prices strongly after the off - season in March [2]. 3.
