Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The main contract price of rebar rose and then fell, with a daily increase of 0.44%, showing a decrease in volume and an increase in open interest. Supported by the positive sentiment in the commodity market, the rebar price rebounded from a low level. However, supply continued to increase while demand was weak, leading to the accumulation of fundamental contradictions. The price of rebar in the off - season remained under pressure, with cost support being a relative positive factor. It is expected that the subsequent trend will continue to fluctuate at a low level, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [5]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil fluctuated, with a daily increase of 0.48%, also showing a decrease in volume and an increase in open interest. Currently, the commodity sentiment is positive, and combined with the strong trend of raw materials, the hot - rolled coil price rebounded from a low level. But the supply - increase and demand - weak situation has not improved the fundamentals, and the upward driving force is not strong. It is expected that the trend will maintain a fluctuating state, and beware of the trading logic returning to the industrial side. Attention should be paid to the demand performance [5]. - The main contract price of iron ore fell from a high level, with a daily decrease of 0.37%, and both volume and open interest decreased. At present, the market sentiment is positive, and the iron ore price remains at a high level. However, the supply pressure persists, and the demand improvement is limited. The fundamentals of iron ore are weak, and the upward driving force needs to be tracked. The subsequent trend is cautiously optimistic, and beware of the trading logic returning to the industrial side [5].

The trading volume was 442,605, a decrease of 48,010, and the open interest was 636,674, a decrease of 29,907 [12]. Related Charts - The report presents various charts related to steel and iron ore inventories, including weekly changes in rebar and hot - rolled coil inventories, national 45 - port iron ore inventories (including inventory and its seasonal changes, and inventory month - on - month changes), 247 steel mills' iron ore inventories, and domestic mine iron concentrate inventories [14][19]. - It also shows charts related to steel mill production, such as the blast furnace operating rate and capacity utilization rate of 247 sample steel mills, the profitability ratio of 247 steel mills, the operating rate of 87 independent electric furnaces, and the profit - loss situation of 75 building material independent electric arc furnace steel mills [29]. 后市研判 - For rebar, the supply - demand pattern has weakened. The inventory has increased significantly, and construction steel mills have continued to resume production. The weekly output of rebar increased by 28,200 tons month - on - month, and the supply continued to rise with room for further increase. The demand for rebar continued to weaken seasonally, with the weekly apparent demand decreasing by 254,800 tons month - on - month. Although the high - frequency transactions increased due to holiday factors, both the apparent demand and high - frequency transactions were at low levels in recent years. The weak demand pattern remained unchanged, continuing to put pressure on steel prices. It is expected that the subsequent trend will continue to fluctuate at a low level [37]. - For hot - rolled coil, the supply - demand pattern changed little. Plate steel mills' production stabilized. The weekly output of hot - rolled coil increased by 10,000 tons month - on - month, and the supply continued to rise and remained at a relatively high level. With a high inventory level, the supply pressure was not relieved, continuing to put pressure on steel prices. The demand for hot - rolled coil weakened, with the weekly apparent demand decreasing by 24,300 tons month - on - month. The high - frequency daily transactions were at a low level. Although the high - level production of downstream cold - rolled products provided some support for hot - rolled coil demand, industrial contradictions were accumulating, and export performance was average, so there were concerns about demand. It is expected that the trend will maintain a fluctuating state [38]. - For iron ore, the supply - demand pattern continued to weaken, and the inventory reached a high level. Steel mills resumed production, and the terminal consumption of iron ore began to rise. The average daily hot metal output and imported ore consumption of sample steel mills increased slightly last week. However, the improvement in steel mills' profitability was limited, and the steel market entered the off - season, making it difficult to support a large - scale resumption of production by steel mills. The improvement in iron ore demand was limited, and the pre - Spring Festival restocking by steel mills was a relative positive factor. At the same time, the port arrivals rebounded again, and the shipments from overseas miners declined as expected. According to the shipping schedule, the subsequent arrivals are expected to remain stable with a slight increase. Even though domestic mine production was seasonally weak, the overall supply remained at a high level. The subsequent trend is cautiously optimistic [39].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided in the reports. 2. Report Core Views Methanol - The methanol futures dropped rapidly in the morning due to the news of Sierbang's shutdown in February and stabilized in the afternoon. The market is expected to maintain a strong and volatile pattern in the short - term driven by cost support and inventory reduction expectations. The port inventory may enter a destocking cycle in the first quarter [1]. LLDPE and PP - Upstream producers continue to hold prices firm, and spot prices have followed the futures up. The market has supply contraction expectations due to rumors. The short - term price of LLDPE and PP is expected to be easy to rise and difficult to fall, but attention should be paid to policy implementation and downstream acceptance of high - priced goods [4]. Pure Benzene and Styrene - The short - term supply - demand pattern of pure benzene is weak, and its price is expected to continue to fluctuate at a low level. For styrene, although the short - term supply - demand is in tight balance, there is an inventory accumulation risk around the Spring Festival, and its rebound space is limited [6]. LPG - No specific view is given in the provided content about the future trend of LPG, only price, inventory and other data are presented [8]. Glass and Soda Ash - For soda ash, the supply - demand situation is under pressure, and the upward space of the price is limited. For glass, although the spot price has risen slightly driven by the futures, the upward space of the market is also restricted, and the market may return to a weak - reality logic [11]. Natural Rubber - The cost of rubber is supported by the rising raw material prices in Thailand, but the downstream's weak buying power restricts the upward movement of rubber prices. Future attention should be paid to the raw material situation in Thailand [12]. PVC and Caustic Soda - The caustic soda market is expected to be stable and weak in the short - term due to oversupply. The PVC market is mainly driven by emotional fluctuations, and there is a risk of a fall after reaching a high level [14]. Urea - The short - term urea price is expected to be strong and volatile, affected by the Indian tender and macro - sentiment. Attention should be paid to the resumption rhythm of production devices and downstream demand [15]. Polyester Industry Chain - For PX and PTA, the supply - demand situation in the first quarter is expected to weaken, and prices are expected to fluctuate. For MEG, there is a large inventory accumulation expectation in the near - term. Short - fiber's absolute price has weak driving force, and bottle - chip will follow the cost end [16]. Crude Oil - The international oil price is expected to maintain a weak and volatile trend in the short - term due to the long - term supply surplus pressure and large inventory accumulation of refined oil products [17]. 3.

Core Viewpoint - The polyester chain market has experienced significant volatility since mid-December 2025, driven primarily by upstream PX price movements, leading to a focus on market dynamics and future trends [1][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The core driver of the recent market fluctuations is the upstream PX, which saw a price increase from 6,800 yuan/ton to over 7,600 yuan/ton, with a significant rise in trading volume [3]. - After reaching a critical price level, the PX market experienced a decline in trading volume, leading to a notable price correction [1][3]. - Analysts suggest that the current price correction is a natural pressure release and does not alter the long-term optimistic outlook for PX [3]. Group 2: Industry Impact - The textile industry is entering a seasonal downturn, with decreasing orders and weaving operating rates, which is exacerbating cash flow pressures for polyester manufacturers [3][4]. - The rapid increase in raw material prices has forced some polyester enterprises to reduce production, creating a "hot upstream, cold downstream" scenario that hinders cost transmission within the industry [3][4]. - The upcoming Chinese New Year is expected to bring about a temporary halt in operations and a reduction in production, with downstream stocking intentions heavily influenced by market expectations [4][5]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The demand recovery post-Chinese New Year is seen as a critical factor for potential price increases in raw materials, with analysts indicating that a moderate price correction could benefit downstream operations [4][5]. - The timing of the Chinese New Year in 2026 may compress the demand release window, impacting downstream stocking enthusiasm and overall market dynamics [5]. - Short-term strategies are recommended to focus on profit-taking and risk aversion, with opportunities for buying on dips expected after price corrections [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided in the documents. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - Short - term cost support (stable coal prices) and de - stocking expectations drive the market to maintain a relatively strong and volatile pattern. The port inventory is expected to enter the de - stocking cycle in the first quarter, while the inland market shows a pattern of weak supply and demand [3]. Polyolefins - For PP, the valuation of marginal devices is still low, but there are few planned overhauls. If there are no overhauls from January to March, the pressure on the 05 contract will be relatively large. For PE, the supply and demand are both weak, but the marginal situation is improving. Overall, the supply increases and the demand decreases in January, and the overall pressure is still relatively large [6]. Urea - The short - term high - supply pattern is difficult to change. The demand is in the off - season, and the downstream raw material procurement intention is suppressed. The inventory continues to be destocked, which supports the price. The market is boosted by export expectations and geopolitical impacts, and it is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term [8]. Pure Benzene and Styrene - Pure benzene is expected to have weak short - term drivers and continue to oscillate at a low level. Styrene is supported in the short term but has limited rebound space due to downstream resistance and cost factors [9]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic soda prices are expected to show a trend of weakening steadily. PVC prices are expected to oscillate and weaken due to the excess supply - demand pattern [10]. Natural Rubber - There is a long - short game in the short - term natural rubber market, and it is recommended to hold the previous short positions [11]. LPG No clear overall view provided in the document about the future trend of LPG. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda ash is in a situation of weak downstream demand and increasing inventory, and it is recommended to wait and see and pay attention to the inventory inflection point. Glass has different situations in different regions, and it is necessary to be vigilant about the weakening demand [16]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX and PTA are expected to have a weaker supply - demand situation in the first quarter. MEG has a large inventory accumulation expectation. Short - fiber has a weak supply - demand pattern. Bottle - chip supply and demand both decrease, and it follows the cost side [17]. Crude Oil - Short - term geopolitical factors support oil prices, but the medium - and long - term supply surplus pressure suppresses oil prices. It is expected that Brent oil prices will fluctuate in the range of 60 - 65 US dollars per barrel in the short term [18]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The US's tough actions against Venezuela have briefly increased market risk aversion, leading to a strong performance in the precious metals market today, with significant rebounds in the platinum and palladium futures contracts on both domestic and international exchanges [2]. - Fundamentally, platinum may continue to see price support in the medium to long - term due to expectations of Fed easing, a continued structural supply - demand deficit, and expanding long - term demand expectations in the hydrogen economy. Palladium's demand outlook is weakening due to over - concentration in the automotive catalyst sector and the continuous spread of new energy vehicles. The palladium market is shifting from supply shortage to surplus, but the bullish sentiment driven by interest rate cut expectations may provide some price support, and its low current price may make it a cost - effective option again [2]. - In the short term, the Venezuela - US situation increases the risk premium and attracts risk - averse funds to the precious metals market, potentially supporting prices. In the long term, the divergence in supply - demand patterns may continue to drive the "platinum strong, palladium weak" market trend. The upper resistance for London platinum is at $2400 per ounce, and the lower support is at $1900 per ounce; for London palladium, the upper resistance is at $1800 per ounce, and the lower support is at $1500 per ounce [2]. 3.
