Core Viewpoint - The global dollar liquidity is tightening in 2025 due to the combined effects of "debt issuance" and "balance sheet reduction," leading to decreased bank reserves and increased short-term financing costs. However, the domestic dollar market is experiencing overall looseness due to cross-border capital inflows, creating a significant price divergence from the offshore market. Looking ahead to 2026, the cessation of balance sheet reduction and further interest rate cuts are expected to marginally improve dollar liquidity, although fiscal financing pressures and geopolitical risks may still heighten market volatility [1]. Group 1: 2025 International Market Overview - In 2025, dollar liquidity exhibited a dual characteristic of "policy easing" and "market tightening." The Federal Reserve slowed balance sheet reduction in Q2 and signaled easing through rate cuts in Q4, yet the actual financing environment tightened, reflected in various metrics such as money supply growth and rising market interest rates [2][3]. - The Federal Reserve's balance sheet reduction, which began in June 2022, has led to a significant decrease in bank reserves, nearing critical levels. As of November 12, 2025, the Fed's total assets dropped to $6.58 trillion, with bank reserves shrinking to $2.88 trillion, a reduction of $340 billion from the end of 2024 [4]. - The U.S. Treasury's large-scale debt issuance has exacerbated liquidity tightening, with the Treasury General Account (TGA) balance surging from $419.4 billion at the end of July to nearly $1 trillion by the end of October 2025, pulling substantial liquidity from the market [5]. Group 2: Causes of Dollar Liquidity Fluctuations - The ongoing quantitative tightening (QT) policy has significantly reduced the monetary base, with the Fed's balance sheet contracting by approximately $2.4 trillion by October 2025 [4]. - The implementation of tariffs under the Trump administration has increased import costs, complicating the Fed's monetary policy decisions between stimulating employment and combating inflation, thereby limiting liquidity improvement [6]. - The government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, has further disrupted liquidity, as funds that could have circulated back into the market were locked in the TGA account, increasing uncertainty for the Fed's policy decisions [7]. Group 3: 2025 Domestic Market Overview - In contrast to the tightening offshore market, the domestic dollar market in 2025 has shown a generally loose trend, with cross-border capital inflows resuming after initial outflows due to trade policy tensions [8][9]. - China's current account surplus has driven dollar inflows, with a notable surplus of $489.8 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, supported by strong exports [9][10]. - The performance of Chinese assets has attracted foreign investment, with significant inflows into the stock and bond markets, reflecting a growing interest in diversifying into Chinese financial assets [11][12]. Group 4: 2026 Dollar Market Outlook - The dollar liquidity tightness is expected to ease in 2026, particularly following the end of the government shutdown, which will allow substantial funds to flow back into the market [13]. - The Fed is anticipated to conclude QT and may consider initiating a new round of asset purchases to support market liquidity, while interest rate cuts may continue under the influence of political pressures [13][14]. - The domestic dollar market is projected to maintain a balanced state, although it may experience temporary tightening due to external influences [14].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The commodity market as a whole rose 0.97% last week, with precious metals leading the gain at 3.43%, non - ferrous and black metals rising 2.37% and 0.78% respectively, while agricultural products and energy - chemicals declined 0.32% and 1.08% respectively. The short - term commodity market may fluctuate as the expectation of interest rate cuts has been basically priced in [2][6]. - The short - term precious metals sector may experience high - level fluctuations, the non - ferrous sector may operate stably, the black sector may fluctuate weakly, the energy sector's price center has a downward pressure, the chemical sector may adjust with fluctuations, and the agricultural products and oilseeds sector may fluctuate weakly in the short term [2][3][4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - **Overall Market Performance**: The overall commodity market rose 0.97% last week. Precious metals led the gain at 3.43%, non - ferrous metals rose 2.37%, black metals rose 0.78%, while agricultural products and energy - chemicals fell 0.32% and 1.08% respectively [2][6]. - **Top - performing and Bottom - performing Varieties**: The top - performing varieties were silver, copper, and pulp, with increases of 7.54%, 6.12%, and 4.85% respectively; the bottom - performing varieties were glass, eggs, and ethylene glycol, with decreases of 5.6%, 5.34%, and 4.17% respectively [2][6]. - **Volatility**: The 20 - day average volatility of the commodity market continued to decline, and the volatility - reducing varieties were mainly concentrated in the agricultural products and energy - chemicals sectors [2][6]. - **Fund Flow**: The overall market scale increased last week. Only the agricultural products sector had a small net outflow of funds, and most of the inflows were concentrated in the Shanghai copper contract [2][6]. 3.2 Outlook - **General Outlook**: The recent strengthening of the Japanese yen has suppressed the US dollar index. The US core PCE in September was slightly lower than expected, laying a foundation for the Fed to cut interest rates, which is also beneficial to US dollar liquidity. However, the Russia - Ukraine situation has reached a stalemate, bringing uncertainty to the continuous improvement of liquidity. The short - term commodity market may fluctuate [2]. - **Precious Metals**: The weekly initial jobless claims dropped to 191,000, far lower than expected, hitting a new low since September 2022, alleviating market concerns about the sharp deterioration of the labor market. Interest rate cuts have been basically priced in. After silver hit a new high, its upward momentum has slowed down. The short - term sector may experience high - level fluctuations [2]. - **Non - ferrous Metals**: The expectation of the US interest rate cut is gradually increasing, and the pressure of the US dollar index on the sector is weakening. The preliminary value of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index in December has improved, and the overall macro - environment is neutral to warm. Fundamentally, the inventory continued to decline last week, and the raw material supply remained tight, supporting the sector. However, as the price reached a high level, the support weakened. The short - term sector may operate stably [3]. - **Black Metals**: Last week, the apparent demand for rebar continued to decline, production dropped significantly, and inventory continued to decrease. Steel mills' profits were still poor, and pig iron production continued to fall. There are many maintenance plans for steel mills in December, and pig iron production may further decline in the future. In terms of raw materials, the global iron ore shipment was relatively strong, and the port inventory continued to increase last week; the domestic coking coal supply was relatively stable, but the import volume increased significantly, suppressing coal prices. With the cost moving down, the short - term sector may fluctuate weakly [3]. - **Energy**: Last week, the geopolitical situation further heated up, and the progress of the Russia - Ukraine peace plan stalled, weakening the market's expectation of restoring Russian oil exports after reaching an agreement. EIA weekly data showed that US crude oil inventories increased, and gasoline inventories increased significantly more than expected. The news boosted oil prices in the short term, and the increasing probability of the Fed's interest rate cut also had a positive impact on oil prices. However, the expanding supply - demand surplus in the fundamentals still determines that the oil price center has a downward pressure [3]. - **Chemicals**: The polyester terminal weaving load continued to decline, and the supply - demand drive of the industrial chain was limited. There was insufficient drive for short - term price increases, and relevant varieties may adjust with fluctuations. For building materials, PVC continued to accumulate inventory, and the profit of chlor - alkali integration was compressed. The pattern of using alkali to supplement chlorine is not expected to last long. It is possible that PVC enterprises will increase maintenance in the future, alleviating the supply pressure; the glass production capacity continued to be compressed, but some glass factories postponed cold - repair plans, and the actual progress needs to be monitored [4]. - **Agricultural Products**: In the new South American season, the sowing progress of Brazilian soybeans is normal, while the sowing progress of Argentine soybeans is slow due to weather conditions. The domestic soybean meal spot supply remains loose, suppressing prices. The market currently estimates that Malaysian palm oil inventories will continue to increase in November, with high inventory pressure. The short - term oilseeds sector may fluctuate weakly, and attention should be paid to the data verification of the USDA and MPOB reports [4]. 3.3 Commodity Fund Overview - Most gold ETFs had positive weekly returns, with returns ranging from 0.78% - 0.87%. The total scale of gold ETFs was 23.4263 billion yuan, with a growth of 0.38%, and the total trading volume was 756,101,805, with a growth of 15.76% [39]. - The energy - chemicals ETF had a weekly return of - 0.67%, with a scale of 16.99 billion yuan and a decrease of 3.47% [39]. - The soybean meal ETF had a weekly return of - 0.59%, with a scale of 26.28 billion yuan and an increase of 0.45% [39]. - The non - ferrous metals ETF had a weekly return of 4.30%, with a scale of 30.11 billion yuan and an increase of 8.10% [39]. - The silver fund had a weekly return of 7.33%, with a scale of 43.47 billion yuan and no change in scale [39]. - The total scale of commodity ETFs was 24.5947 billion yuan, with a growth of 0.52%, and the total trading volume was 1,467,321,985, with a growth of 18.70% [39].
