Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The report recommends short - term trading based on events (such as the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks and the Russia - Ukraine peace talks) with an overall volatile trend for oil prices, and a medium - term short position for oil [3] Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - International oil prices dropped significantly yesterday, with WTI and Brent falling over 2%, and SC nearly 5%. This was mainly due to Trump's remarks about the approaching Iran nuclear deal. The market fears that if U.S. sanctions on Iran are lifted, it could lead to an increase in Iranian oil supply and exacerbate the oil market surplus. However, whether the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks will succeed remains uncertain, and the outcome of this event will have opposite impacts on oil prices [2] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Market News and Important Data - The price of light crude oil futures for June delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell $1.53 to $61.62 per barrel, a decrease of 2.42%. The price of Brent crude oil futures for July delivery fell $1.56 to $64.53 per barrel, a decrease of 2.36%. The SC crude oil main contract dropped 3.53% to 462 yuan per barrel [1] - Powell will re - evaluate the "key parts" of the 2020 monetary policy framework, including the handling of inflation targets and employment "gaps". Higher real interest rates may reflect more volatile future inflation, and "supply shocks" may become the new normal [1] - The U.S. April PPI increased 2.4% year - on - year, lower than expected, and decreased 0.5% month - on - month, the largest decline in five years, mainly due to the decline in corporate profit margins. U.S. April retail sales increased 0.1% month - on - month, slightly exceeding expectations, but sales of 7 out of 13 commodity categories decreased [1] - The IEA raised its average oil demand growth forecast for 2025 by 20,000 barrels per day to 740,000 barrels per day, and the global supply growth forecast to 1.6 million barrels per day, an increase of 380,000 barrels per day compared to last month's report. In 2025, global supply is expected to far exceed demand growth, and inventories will increase by about 720,000 barrels per day [1] - Hamas is in direct talks with the U.S. to reach an agreement to end the Gaza conflict. Hamas called for the exchange of detainees, Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, allowing aid supplies to enter Gaza, and rebuilding Gaza without forced migration. If a permanent cease - fire is achieved, Hamas can hand over control of the Gaza Strip [1] - Indonesia's recent increase in the export tax on crude palm oil (CPO) may support global CPO prices and strengthen its biodiesel policy. If oil prices remain above $49 per barrel, it may improve the financial stability of Indonesia's B40 biodiesel program and may lead to the introduction of a B50 biodiesel policy [1] - Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said that the U.S. has put forward many contradictory positions in the Iran nuclear talks, which may be due to the lack of centralization in the U.S. decision - making structure or its negotiation style. Iran's negotiation style is based on adhering to basic principles, and Iran's uranium enrichment facilities will continue to exist [1] Investment Logic - The current Iranian crude oil production is around 3.2 million barrels per day, with exports of 1.5 - 2 million barrels per day. If sanctions are lifted, Iranian oil will re - enter the global market, and its 30 million barrels of floating storage will flow into the market in the short term. Iran can increase exports by about 500,000 barrels per day within 3 months, which will exacerbate the oil market surplus in the second half of the year [2] Strategy - Oil prices are expected to be volatile in the short term due to events and suitable for short - position allocation in the medium term [3] Risk - Downside risks include significant production increases by OPEC and macro black - swan events; upside risks include supply tightening of sanctioned oil (from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela) and large - scale supply disruptions due to Middle East conflicts [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overall, various sectors in the market are influenced by multiple factors including economic policies, international trade negotiations, and supply - demand dynamics. Different sectors show different trends and risks. For example, in the financial market, the Fed's potential policy framework changes affect the performance of the US dollar index and US stock index futures; in the commodity market, supply - demand relationships in industries such as steel, copper, and agricultural products determine price trends [14][22][31]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Financial News and Comments 3.1.1 Macro Strategy (Stock Index Futures) - The release of the urban renewal action plan clarifies the path for domestic economic support, and fixed - asset investment will maintain a high proportion in the economy.

It is recommended to expect the US dollar index to oscillate [22][23]. 3.1.4 Macro Strategy (US Stock Index Futures) - The Fed's change in the monetary framework may increase its tolerance for inflation, and high inflation and high interest rates may exist for a longer period.

The factors affecting the CS - C futures spread are complex, and it is recommended to wait and see [33]. 3.2.4 Black Metals (Coking Coal/Coke) - The coking coal market in Lvliang is oscillating weakly. With the improvement of the macro - environment, coking coal may stabilize with the overall black metal sector in the short term, but the medium - to - long - term fundamentals have not changed, and attention should be paid to demand changes [34][35]. 3.2.5 Agricultural Products (Corn) - The inventory days of feed enterprises have slightly increased, while the raw material inventory of deep - processing enterprises has declined.

It is recommended to conduct short - term band operations and wait and see for arbitrage [42]. 3.2.7 Non - Ferrous Metals (Polysilicon) - Considering the delayed resumption of production at the southwest base of leading enterprises and the planned production cuts and overhauls of some enterprises, the polysilicon production plan for May has been revised down. It is recommended to take profit on previous long positions and focus on arbitrage strategies [44]. 3.2.8 Non - Ferrous Metals (Industrial Silicon) - There are rumors that northern large - scale factories plan to resume production, and some silicon factories in Sichuan are gradually resuming production. Demand is still weak. It is not recommended to go long on the left side, and consider short - selling opportunities during rebounds [45][46]. 3.2.9 Non - Ferrous Metals (Lithium Carbonate) - The market risk appetite has been repaired, but the mine price has not stabilized, and the fundamentals are difficult to support continuous price rebounds. It is recommended to pay attention to short - selling opportunities on price rebounds [49]. 3.2.10 Non - Ferrous Metals (Lead) - The social inventory of lead ingots has increased significantly. Under the intertwined situation of multiple factors, there is no clear unilateral logic for lead prices. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and pay attention to high - level internal - external positive spread opportunities [52]. 3.2.11 Non - Ferrous Metals (Zinc) - The domestic social inventory of zinc has increased. The short - term spot market is under pressure. It is recommended to wait and see for previous short positions, and consider short - selling opportunities on price rebounds for those not yet entered [56]. 3.2.12 Non - Ferrous Metals (Nickel) - The price of nickel is expected to oscillate in the range of 122,000 - 128,000 yuan/ton.

与2020年框架大修相比，此次调整将更为微妙 尽管市场普遍期待获得降息线索，但鲍威尔很可能将焦点转向更具实质意义的议题。 有分析认为，这次演讲的核心将是美联储对其货币政策框架的评估，即如何履行充分就业和价格稳定双 重使命的蓝图。 尽管一些经济学家呼吁进行重大改革，但一些分析认为，今年的框架更新将更加微妙。预计将进行一些 调整，重点是采取"对称性"的通胀应对方法，并改进美联储的经济预测摘要（SEP），许多评论家认为 该摘要不够透明。 今晚（15日）20:40，美联储主席鲍威尔将在一场活动上致开幕词。 美联储上次彻底改革其货币政策框架是在2020年。当时，利率接近于零，美联储正在向金融系统注入流 动性。 然而，自那以来，情况发生了巨大变化。通货膨胀在2022年飙升至9.1%的峰值，促使美联储采取了40 年来最激进的加息行动。 尽管目前物价压力已经有所缓解，但仍高于美联储2%的目标。 这次演讲也恰逢政治压力再次浮现。周三，特朗普继续"炮轰"鲍威尔，写道： "美联储必须像欧洲那样降低利率。太迟的鲍威尔怎么了？这对准备好蓬勃发展的美国不公 平？就让一切发生吧，那将是一件美好的事情！" 此外，特朗普的关税威胁笼罩在美联储 ...
