Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The main contract price of rebar fluctuated higher with a daily increase of 0.58%, volume increased and positions decreased. Currently, rebar supply has rebounded to a high level while demand is weak, the fundamentals continue to deteriorate, and steel prices are under pressure during the off - season. The relatively positive factor is that the futures price has fallen close to the valley - electricity cost, increasing the downward resistance. It is expected to continue the low - level oscillatory trend, and attention should be paid to inventory changes [5]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil fluctuated higher with a daily increase of 0.52%, both volume and positions expanded. At present, the supply pressure of hot - rolled coil remains, the demand resilience is weakening, industrial contradictions are likely to accumulate again, and prices are under pressure. The relatively positive factor is that speculative demand is acceptable, and the short - term price will continue to oscillate. Attention should be paid to demand changes [5]. - The main contract price of iron ore strengthened with a daily increase of 1.21%, both volume and positions expanded. Currently, the shipments of miners have seasonally declined, but inventories are high, the supply pressure is not relieved, and demand is weak. The fundamentals of iron ore have not improved, and ore prices are still likely to be under pressure. The relatively positive factors are pre - holiday steel mill restocking and the warming of commodity sentiment. It is expected that ore prices will show an oscillatory and stable trend, and attention should be paid to steel mill restocking [5]. Summary by Directory 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Steel Industry - The steel market shows weak supply and demand. The seasonal decline in rebar demand is significant, while the decline in hot - rolled coil demand is relatively small. The recent cost reduction may lead to a downward shift in the steel price center. The reference range for the May rebar contract is 3050 - 3250 yuan, and for hot - rolled coils, it is 3200 - 3350 yuan. Consider closing long positions on the steel - to - ore ratio when it rises, and continue to hold long positions on the hot - rolled coil to rebar spread [1]. Iron Ore Industry - Iron ore is facing a situation of weak supply and demand.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Polyolefin Industry - The upstream of LLDPE and PP continues to reduce prices, with poor order - taking. The supply of LLDPE is expected to increase marginally, and the demand is in a seasonal off - season. PP has a weak supply - demand situation, but the inventory is expected to turn to a decline in January, and the balance has improved. However, the weighted profit has been repaired, and the far - month disk has certain characteristics. Attention should be paid to the implementation of later maintenance [2]. Methanol Industry - Methanol futures fluctuate in a narrow range at a low level, with the basis strengthening slightly. The inland supply remains high, and traditional demand is weak, with short - term pressure. Although the port inventory is slightly depleted, the MTO demand is weak, suppressing the price rebound. The key variables are the reduction rhythm of imported methanol and the fading of geopolitical risk premium [4]. Pure Benzene - Styrene Industry - The marginal supply - demand of pure benzene improves slightly, but the port inventory level is still high, and its own driving force is limited. Styrene is boosted by exports and device accidents, and its price is strong, driving up the price of pure benzene. The spread between styrene and pure benzene has widened significantly. For strategies, consider short - selling opportunities in BZ03 and narrowing the EB - BZ spread at high levels. For styrene, although the short - term supply - demand is tight, there is an inventory accumulation expectation around the Spring Festival, and the upward space is limited. Consider short - selling opportunities in EB03 and narrowing the EB processing fee at high levels [5]. Glass - Soda Ash Industry - Soda ash futures are expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term. The spot price has a slight decline, the supply is at a high level, the demand has not improved significantly, and the factory inventory is hovering at a high level. Glass futures are also expected to continue the weak trend. The supply and demand are both weak, the inventory is still relatively high year - on - year, and the supply is expected to increase while the demand is shrinking in the off - season [6]. Urea Industry - Urea futures fluctuated and closed up on January 20th, and the spot price was slightly loose. The supply is at a high level, with the daily output rising to 200,000 tons. The demand side has some rigid needs, but the overall receiving enthusiasm is low. It is expected that the urea price will be in a weak shock in the short term [7]. PVC - Caustic Soda Industry - Caustic soda futures fell weakly, and the spot price continued to decline. The supply - demand imbalance remains unchanged, with high inventory and weak demand, and the price will continue to be under pressure. PVC futures fluctuated and closed down, with the spot price remaining stable. The supply is high, the domestic demand is weakening, the inventory is accumulating, and the cost support is controversial. It is expected to be in a weak shock in the short term, but the downward space is limited [8]. Crude Oil Industry - International oil prices rebounded. The geopolitical risk has eased, but the instability remains. The short - term oil price is supported by the shutdown of the Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan, but the supply - demand expectation is still weak, and the upward space is limited. Brent crude oil may fluctuate between $60 - 66 per barrel in the short term [9]. Natural Rubber Industry - The overseas raw material prices of natural rubber continue to fall, weakening the bottom support. The demand of some semi - steel tire enterprises with a large proportion of European exports is relatively good, but the domestic sales are slow. The inventory in China continues to accumulate. Considering that Thailand is about to enter the production - reducing period, the raw material price decline is limited, and the rubber price is expected to continue to fluctuate in the range of 15,500 - 16,500 [11]. LPG Industry - LPG futures prices declined. The inventory of refineries and ports decreased, the upstream refinery operating rate increased slightly, and the downstream PDH operating rate decreased. Overall, no clear view on the future trend is given in the report [12]. Polyester Industry - For PX, the supply is high, and the demand is weak. It is expected to fluctuate in a high - level range in the short term, and the downward space is limited in the second quarter. For PTA, the supply - demand is expected to weaken, and it will follow the raw material fluctuations before the Spring Festival. For MEG, there is a large - scale inventory accumulation expectation in January - February, and the price is under pressure. For short - fiber, the supply - demand pattern is weak, and it will follow the raw material fluctuations in the short term. For polyester bottle - chips, the supply is expected to decline, and it will follow the cost fluctuations [13]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Steel Industry - The steel industry shows a pattern of weak supply and demand. Before the Spring Festival, domestic demand is weak, and prices have fully factored in the weak demand. The decline in production and the accumulation of raw materials have led to a weakening of raw material prices, and the recent cost reduction may cause the steel price center to shift downwards. The reference range for the May contract of rebar is 3050 - 3250 yuan/ton, and for hot - rolled coils, it is 3200 - 3350 yuan/ton. It is recommended to hold long positions in the steel - to - iron ore ratio and long positions in the hot - rolled coil to rebar price spread [1]. Iron Ore Industry - The iron ore market faces a situation of weak supply and demand. The price is constrained by high inventory on the upside and supported by the expectation of steel mill restocking on the downside. In the short term, attention should be paid to the resumption of iron - making production, macro - level narratives, and the rhythm of steel mill restocking. In the long term, negotiation situations need to be monitored. It is expected that the iron ore price will fluctuate widely, with a recommended trading range of 770 - 830 [3]. Coke and Coking Coal Industry - For coke, after the fourth round of spot price cuts, some coke enterprises are resisting further price cuts and are considering production cuts to maintain prices. The mainstream coke enterprises have initiated a price increase, which is expected to be implemented. The futures price of coke has fallen in advance, and the spot price decline depends on the decline of coking coal. It is recommended to be bearish on the futures price and consider an arbitrage strategy of long coking coal and short coke. - For coking coal, although there is a demand for spot restocking before the Spring Festival, the futures price has already factored in the increase. After the Spring Festival, the market supply and demand are expected to be loose. It is also recommended to be bearish on the futures price and consider an arbitrage strategy of long coking coal and short coke [5]. Ferrosilicon and Ferromanganese Industry - Ferrosilicon: In the short term, the supply - demand contradiction is limited, and there is a lack of upward momentum at the industrial level.

1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating 2. Core Views of the Report - The geopolitical situation in Latin America and the Middle East does not strongly support overall oil prices, but the valuation of heavy - oil products will rise significantly. The valuation of heavy - oil products is upgraded to overweight, and the crack spreads of asphalt or fuel oil may have upward momentum [2] - The current methanol valuation is low, and its outlook for the next year will improve marginally, with limited downside space. Despite short - term negative pressure, the recent geopolitical instability in Iran has created certain geopolitical expectations, making it feasible to buy on dips [4] - The current domestic - foreign price difference of urea has opened the import window. Coupled with the expected increase in production at the end of January, negative fundamental expectations for urea are approaching, so it is advisable to take profits on rallies [7] - Rubber is in a seasonally weak period. Currently, a bearish mindset is adopted. If RU2605 falls below 16,000, a short - term bearish strategy will be adopted. It is recommended to partially build a position by buying the main contract of NR and shorting RU2609 [12] - The fundamentals of PVC are poor. Although short - term electricity price expectations and pre - export rush support PVC, in the medium term, the strategy of shorting on rallies is still the main approach until there is a substantial reduction in industry production [14] - The current non - integrated profit of styrene is moderately low, with significant upward valuation repair space. It is advisable to go long on the non - integrated profit of styrene before the first quarter [17] - For polyethylene, the long - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven downward trends to production - mismatch issues. It is advisable to go long on the LL5 - 9 spread on dips [20] - For polypropylene, in the context of weak supply and demand, the overall inventory pressure is high. The futures price is expected to bottom out when the oversupply situation changes in the first quarter of next year [23] - For PX, it is expected to maintain an inventory - accumulation pattern before the maintenance season, but there are medium - term opportunities to go long following the trend of crude oil on dips [26] - PTA is expected to enter the Spring Festival inventory - accumulation period. There are medium - term opportunities to go long on dips, and the rhythm should be grasped [29] - For ethylene glycol, the supply - demand pattern needs greater production cuts to improve. In the medium term, if there are no further domestic production cuts, the valuation is expected to be compressed [31] 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided in the reports regarding industry investment ratings. 2. Core Views Tin - Short - term price is highly volatile due to market sentiment. After a sharp decline on Friday night, it's advisable to be cautious in the short - term. Consider a low - buying strategy after the sentiment stabilizes [1]. Copper - In the long - term, the price bottom center is expected to rise due to capital expenditure constraints on the supply side. In the short - term, the price is strong because of global inventory structural imbalance and supply concerns. However, real terminal demand is weak. With the cooling of speculative sentiment and easing of tariff expectations, the price may return to fundamental pricing. Pay attention to CL premium and LME inventory changes, with the main contract supported at 97500 - 98500 [3]. Nickel - Recent trading is centered around macro and Indonesian ore RKAB quota. Short - term ore news has limited further driving force. The market is expected to fluctuate widely, with the main contract reference range of 135000 - 145000 [5]. Zinc - The price is supported by domestic ore shortage and pressured by expected imported ore supply and negative demand feedback. It is expected to fluctuate in the short - term. Focus on zinc ore TC and refined zinc inventory changes, with the main contract supported around 23800 [8]. Lithium Carbonate - The fundamentals show some resilience in the off - season. With a loose macro environment and strengthened supervision, there is resistance to further price increases. The market has intensified long - short divergence. The short - term market may adjust widely, with the main contract running between 140,000 - 150,000. Use short - term range trading [11]. Aluminum - Alumina prices lack upward momentum due to loose supply, weakening demand, and high inventory. It is expected to fluctuate widely around the industry cash cost line, with the main contract in the range of 2600 - 2950 yuan/ton. Aluminum prices are expected to maintain a high - level wide - range oscillation in the short - term, with the main contract in the range of 23000 - 25000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to domestic inventory accumulation speed, downstream consumption resilience, and overseas monetary policies and geopolitical events [13]. Aluminum Alloy - The short - term price range is limited. The ADC12 price is expected to continue high - level oscillation, with the main contract in the range of 22000 - 24000 yuan/ton. Focus on raw material price changes, actual inflow of imported goods, and downstream pre - holiday inventory building [15]. Stainless Steel - Raw material news drives sentiment and strengthens cost support. Social inventory is steadily digested, but downstream demand in the off - season is weak. It is expected to oscillate in the short - term, with the main contract in the range of 13800 - 14500. Pay attention to ore news and downstream inventory building [18]. Polysilicon - The demand outlook has improved due to export - grabbing demand, and there is an expectation of supply reduction. The price is supported at 48,000 yuan/ton. Component production may increase, which is beneficial for inventory digestion. In the cooling period, it's advisable to wait and see, and focus on later production cuts and downstream demand recovery [20]. Industrial Silicon - The market remains in a state of weak supply and demand, with low - level oscillation. The price is expected to fluctuate between 8000 - 9000 yuan/ton.
