1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Amid the threat against Iran and a bullish market sentiment, the energy and chemical sectors are strong today, but it is still recommended to treat different varieties differently in the follow - up [1] - The US attack on Venezuela has limited impact on crude oil, and the market may return to the downward drive caused by the oversupply pressure in the first quarter [2][3][4] - Asphalt can be a key long - position variety, while PX - PTA is in a short - term correction and waiting for the next long - entry opportunity, and styrene can be a key short - position variety [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs (1) Crude Oil - Logic: The US attack on Venezuela has limited impact on crude oil as Venezuela's production accounts for about 1% and daily exports are 50 - 800,000 barrels, and it lacks the geographical advantage of the Strait of Hormuz. After the event, the market may return to the downward drive of the first - quarter oversupply pressure [2][3][4] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. Today, it rebounded with a reduction in positions, but the short - term downward structure remains intact. The short - term pressure is at the 436 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [4] (2) Asphalt - Logic: The US attack on Venezuela has a substantial impact on domestic asphalt raw materials. Venezuelan crude oil exports are paralyzed, and the main domestic asphalt raw material, Venezuelan heavy oil, faces a real supply cut. The asphalt market faces dual upward drivers of supply reduction and cost increase. [7] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It oscillated today, and the trading volume has been well - matched since yesterday's gap - up opening. The short - term support is at the 2990 level. The hourly - level strategy is to hold half of the long positions and set the stop - profit at 2990 [7] (3) Styrene - Logic: The entire styrene industry chain has high inventory. The high inventory of upstream pure benzene and weak downstream 3S demand, along with the industry's over - capacity, may lead to a price decline if the expected January export increase is false [10] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure, and the 15 - minute level shows a downward structure. The short - term support is below 6700. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see, and hold the 15 - minute - level short positions with a stop - loss at 6835 [11][13] (4) Rubber - Logic: The seasonal inventory of domestic natural rubber is increasing rapidly, and the downstream tire inventory is high, so there is no significant upward driver [15] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term oscillating structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It rose slightly with increased positions today. The short - term support is raised to the 15550 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [15] (5) Synthetic Rubber - Logic: Synthetic rubber maintains a high - operating rate, with a slight inventory reduction due to traders' restocking. However, the high supply pressure of butadiene and high downstream tire inventory limit the upward space [17] - Technical Analysis: Both the daily - and hourly - levels show upward structures. It rose slightly with increased positions today. The short - term support is raised to the 11400 level. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [17] (6) PX - Logic: The fundamentals of PX - PTA are strong in both reality and expectation. However, due to the low acceptance of high prices by downstream polyester, it is facing a short - term correction. There is an opportunity for a second low - buying in the medium - term [20] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It rebounded with increased positions today but did not break through the short - term pressure at 7390. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [20][23] (7) PTA - Logic: Similar to PX, the fundamentals of PX - PTA are strong, but it is facing a short - term correction due to downstream resistance. There is an opportunity for a second low - buying in the medium - term [25] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It rebounded with increased positions today but did not break through the short - term pressure at 5205. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [25] (8) PP - Logic: The fundamentals of the olefin industry chain where PP - plastic belongs are still weak. It is only suitable for the chemical configuration logic in the medium - term hedging of long aromatics (PX, PTA) and short olefins (PP, plastic) [28] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It rose slightly with increased positions today. The short - term support is raised to the 6305 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [28] (9) Methanol - Logic: Methanol port inventory is at a historically high level, and although there is an expected reduction in Iranian ship arrivals, the downstream MTO profit is weakening, and the fundamental driving force is still weak. The US attack on Venezuela has limited impact on methanol [31] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the short - term shows an upward structure. It rose sharply with increased positions today. The short - term support is at the 2200 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [31] (10) PVC - Logic: The reality of high production, weak demand, and high inventory of PVC continues, but the current valuation is low. Pay attention to the expected trading of anti - involution and policy support. The news of differential electricity prices in Shaanxi has stimulated a short - term upward movement [34] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It rose sharply with increased positions today, hitting a new high. The short - term support is raised to the 4725 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to hold long positions and set the stop - profit at 4725 [34] (11) Ethylene Glycol - Logic: The weak coal price in the cost side and the continuous inventory increase in ports, along with weakening demand, do not provide a driving force for a significant reversal [36] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level structure is unclear. It rebounded with a reduction in positions today. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [36] (12) Plastic - Logic: Similar to PP, the fundamentals of the olefin industry chain where plastic belongs are weak. It is only suitable for the chemical configuration logic in the medium - term hedging of long aromatics and short olefins [39] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level downward structure is being challenged. It rebounded with a reduction in positions today, breaking through the short - term pressure at 6545. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [39] (13) Soda Ash - Logic: The inventory pressure of soda ash has weakened slightly, but the over - supply pattern remains, and there is no significant upward driving force without an expected increase in terminal demand [40] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows an upward structure. It rebounded slightly near the support level today. The short - term support is at the 1170 level, and the short - term upward structure remains intact. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [40] (14) Caustic Soda - Logic: Caustic soda has a pattern of high supply, high inventory, and weak demand. The supply - demand driving force is downward, but there is no space for chasing short positions [42] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is unclear. It rebounded with a reduction in positions today. Pay attention to the 15 - minute downward structure, and the 15 - minute pressure is at the 2260 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [42]

Group 1 - The global financial market has entered a period of volatility driven by geopolitical factors as 2026 begins, with FXGT indicating that gold is at a critical "momentum transition" window, closely linked to the oil market in the short term [1][3] - Geopolitical events are reshaping market risk preferences and directly altering the pricing logic of energy and safe-haven assets, although the fundamental logic supporting a long-term bullish trend for gold remains intact despite potential technical pullbacks in January [1][3] - In 2025, the gold market delivered impressive results, with FXGT noting that even a slight price correction at year-end should be viewed as a self-digestion of bullish forces, clearing overheated market sentiments and paving the way for a new upward movement in 2026 [1][3] Group 2 - On the macroeconomic front, the Federal Reserve's policy shift remains a core driving force, with FXGT suggesting that the nomination of new Fed leadership by the White House will be a key variable influencing interest rate direction [2][4] - The uncertainty surrounding new policy directions enhances gold's role as a tool against policy risks, while the U.S. efforts to solidify the "petrodollar" position further highlight gold's hedging role amid fluctuations in the dollar credit system [2][4] - Technical analysis indicates that both gold and silver are showing signs of fatigue after previous strong rallies, with FXGT observing that weekly momentum indicators suggest the market has entered a consumptive top area, likely leading to a period of consolidation rather than a direct breakout [2][4]

Group 1: Market Overview - The aluminum market is experiencing a bullish trend driven by rising stock markets and oil prices, with LME aluminum prices increasing by 2.28% to $3,090 per ton [1][2] - The Shanghai aluminum market is also seeing significant gains, with the main contract closing at 24,165 yuan per ton, up 2.57% [1] - The recent geopolitical tensions, particularly the U.S. military action in Venezuela, have heightened market risk aversion and boosted demand for precious metals like gold, which rose nearly 3% [2] Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - Domestic electrolytic aluminum supply is limited, while demand is weakening due to seasonal factors and high aluminum prices, leading to a decline in operating rates among downstream processing enterprises [3] - As of January 5, China's major market electrolytic aluminum inventory increased by 65,000 tons to 703,000 tons, indicating growing fundamental pressure on aluminum prices [3] - Despite the increase in inventory, overall stock levels remain historically low, and external market strength may support a continued upward trend in aluminum prices [3] Group 3: Policy and Economic Factors - The Chinese government has implemented favorable macroeconomic policies, including the early issuance of 62.5 billion yuan in special long-term bonds to stimulate consumer demand during peak seasons [2] - These policy measures are expected to enhance market optimism and support the aluminum market amid rising prices and speculative trading [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current geopolitical situation in Latin America does not provide sufficient bullish support for overall oil prices, but the valuation of heavy - oil products will be significantly increased. The valuation of heavy - oil products is upgraded to overweight, and the crack spreads of asphalt or fuel oil are expected to have upward momentum [2]. - The current valuation of methanol is low, and its outlook for the coming year is marginally improving with limited downside. Despite short - term negative pressure, the recent geopolitical instability in Iran has brought certain geopolitical expectations, making it feasible to go long on dips [4]. - The current situation of the domestic - foreign price difference has opened the import window. Coupled with the expectation of increased production at the end of January, negative expectations for the urea fundamentals are approaching, so it is advisable to take profits on rallies [6]. - For rubber, a neutral approach is currently adopted, with a temporary wait - and - see attitude. It is recommended to partially close the hedging position of buying RU2605 and selling RU2609 [13]. - For PVC, the comprehensive profit of enterprises is at a historically low level, with relatively small short - term valuation pressure. However, the reduction in supply is limited, and production is at a historical high. Domestic demand is entering the off - season, and the demand side is under pressure. Although the Indian BIS policy has been revoked and no anti - dumping duties are expected, there is still off - season pressure. Overall, the supply - demand imbalance persists, and a strategy of shorting on rallies is recommended in the medium term before significant production cuts in the industry [15]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the non - integrated profit of styrene is currently moderately low, with a large upward repair space for valuation. The supply of pure benzene is still abundant. The production of styrene is increasing, and its port inventory is continuously decreasing. It is advisable to go long on the non - integrated profit of styrene before the first quarter of next year [19]. - For polyethylene, OPEC+ plans to suspend production growth in the first quarter of 2026, and the oil price may have bottomed out. The spot price of polyethylene is rising, and the downward space for PE valuation still exists. The overall inventory is expected to decline from a high level, providing support for prices. In the long term, it is advisable to go long on the LL5 - 9 spread on dips [22]. - For polypropylene, the EIA monthly report predicts a slight reduction in global oil inventories, and the supply glut may ease. There are no capacity expansion plans in the first half of 2026, and the pressure on the supply side will be relieved. In the context of weak supply and demand, the overall inventory pressure is high. The price of the futures contract is expected to bottom out after the supply glut situation changes in the first quarter of next year [25]. - For PX, the current PX load remains high, and there are many maintenance activities for downstream PTA. Before the maintenance season, PX is expected to maintain a slight inventory - building pattern. Although the valuation has increased significantly, the supply - demand situation of both PX and downstream PTA will be strong next year. Attention should be paid to the risk of price corrections in the short term, and opportunities to go long on dips should be considered in the medium term [28]. - For PTA, the supply side will maintain a high level of maintenance in the short term, and the polyester fiber profit is under pressure. The load of the industry will gradually decline due to the off - season. After a short - term inventory reduction, PTA is expected to enter an inventory - building period during the Spring Festival. Attention should be paid to the risk of price corrections in the short term, and opportunities to go long on dips should be considered in the medium term [31]. - For ethylene glycol, the overall load of the industry is still relatively high. Although the expected import volume in January will decline, the decline is limited, and the port inventory - building cycle will continue. In the medium term, there is an expectation of further profit compression and production reduction under the pressure of new capacity. The valuation is currently moderately low compared to the same period in previous years. In the absence of further production cuts in China, the valuation is expected to be compressed [33]. Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - **Market Information**: The main INE crude oil futures contract closed down 14.80 yuan/barrel, a 3.39% decline, at 421.70 yuan/barrel.

Rubber - **Market Information**: The rubber price fluctuated within a narrow range. The bulls of natural rubber RU were optimistic due to seasonal expectations and demand expectations, believing that the weather and the current situation of rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, might limit rubber production growth, and the seasonality of rubber usually turns bullish in the second half of the year, with improved demand expectations in China. The bears were pessimistic due to weak demand, believing that the macro - economic outlook was uncertain, demand was in the seasonal off - season, and the expected postponement of EUDR and the supply benefits might be less than expected. The tire operating rate showed marginal deterioration. As of December 25, 2025, the operating rate of all - steel tires of Shandong tire enterprises was 62.20%, 2.46 percentage points lower than the previous week and 0.02 percentage points lower than the same period last year, with slower shipments and higher inventory pressure.

Group 1: Report Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Group 2: Core Views - The overall sentiment for copper is that the upward trend may slow down due to factors such as squeezed downstream demand and inventory accumulation, despite strong support from supply - side factors. For aluminum, it is expected to continue to be range - bound with an upward bias. Lead is likely to be weak in the short - term, zinc is expected to have a wide - range oscillation in the medium - term and follow the non - ferrous sector strongly in the short - term. Tin prices are expected to fluctuate with market risk appetite. Nickel's short - term bottom may have appeared. Carbonate lithium is subject to high volatility and is recommended to be observed or lightly traded. Alumina is recommended to be observed, and short positions can be considered under certain conditions. Stainless steel may be advisable to go long at low prices. Cast aluminum alloy is expected to be range - bound with an upward bias [2][5][8][10][12][14][18][21][24][27] Group 3: Summary by Metal Copper - **Market Information**: After the domestic holiday, copper prices continued to be strong. LME copper 3M rose 5.03% to $13,087/ton, and SHFE copper main contract closed at 102,650 yuan/ton. LME copper inventory decreased, while domestic social and bonded - area inventories increased. The spot in Shanghai and Guangdong changed from discount to premium. The import loss of SHFE copper spot widened, and the refined - scrap copper price difference increased [1] - **Strategy View**: With a loose US financial market liquidity, mild domestic policy stimulus, and geopolitical factors, the sentiment is favorable. However, high prices are squeezing downstream demand, and there is inventory accumulation pressure. The upward trend of copper prices is expected to slow down. The reference range for SHFE copper main contract is 101,200 - 105,000 yuan/ton, and for LME copper 3M is $12,800 - 13,400/ton [2] Aluminum - **Market Information**: Both domestic and international aluminum prices accelerated their upward movement. LME aluminum rose 2.28% to $3,090/ton, and SHFE aluminum main contract closed at 24,165 yuan/ton. SHFE aluminum weighted contract positions increased significantly, and futures warehouse receipts increased. Domestic aluminum ingot and aluminum rod social inventories increased, and the processing fee of aluminum rods decreased. The spot in the East China region was at a discount to futures, and LME aluminum inventory decreased [4] - **Strategy View**: The high prices of precious metals and copper are expected to drive up aluminum prices. Although high aluminum prices suppress downstream production, low overseas inventory and supply - side disturbances support the price. Aluminum prices are expected to continue to be range - bound with an upward bias. The reference range for SHFE aluminum main contract is 23,700 - 24,400 yuan/ton, and for LME aluminum 3M is $3,050 - 3,140/ton [5] Lead - **Market Information**: SHFE lead index rose 0.27% to 17,403 yuan/ton, and LME lead 3S rose to $2,020/ton. The refined - scrap lead price difference was 150 yuan/ton. Domestic social lead inventory increased, and LME lead inventory and注销仓单 were recorded [7] - **Strategy View**: The visible lead ore inventory increased, the primary lead production rate remained high, and the recycled lead production rate slightly increased. Downstream battery enterprises' production rate decreased marginally, and domestic lead inventory stopped falling. The lead price is near the upper limit of the oscillation range, and it is expected to be weak in the short - term [8] Zinc - **Market Information**: SHFE zinc index rose 2.34% to 23,849 yuan/ton, and LME zinc 3S rose to $3,172.5/ton. The zinc ingot social inventory increased. The zinc ore visible inventory decreased, and the zinc concentrate TC decreased again but at a slower pace [9] - **Strategy View**: The zinc ore visible inventory decreased, and zinc smelting profit stabilized. Domestic zinc inventory decreased, and the SHFE - LME ratio increased. After the winter stockpiling, the domestic zinc ore supply may be more abundant. The zinc price is expected to have a wide - range oscillation in the medium - term and follow the non - ferrous sector strongly in the short - term [10] Tin - **Market Information**: On January 5, 2026, SHFE tin main contract closed at 334,370 yuan/ton, up 3.55%. The smelting plants in Yunnan and Jiangxi showed different situations in production. The downstream consumer electronics demand was in the off - season, but the new - energy vehicle and AI server orders supported the tin solder enterprises' production rate. The spot market had weak purchasing willingness, and the tin inventory increased for three consecutive weeks [11] - **Strategy View**: Although the current tin market has weak demand and supply improvement expectations, the low downstream inventory limits the bargaining power. The price is expected to fluctuate with market risk appetite. It is recommended to observe. The reference range for the domestic main contract is 300,000 - 350,000 yuan/ton, and for overseas LME tin is $39,000 - 43,000/ton [12] Nickel - **Market Information**: On January 5, nickel prices oscillated. SHFE nickel main contract closed at 134,100 yuan/ton, up 0.94%. The spot premiums were stable, and the nickel ore prices were stable. The nickel iron price continued to rise [13] - **Strategy View**: The nickel surplus pressure is still large, but due to Indonesia's policies, the short - term bottom of nickel prices may have appeared. It is recommended to observe. The reference range for SHFE nickel is 110,000 - 140,000 yuan/ton, and for LME nickel 3M is $13,000 - 16,500/ton [14] Carbonate Lithium - **Market Information**: The Five - Mineral Steel Union's carbonate lithium spot index rose, and the LC2605 contract price also increased. The battery - grade carbonate lithium premium was - 1,750 yuan [17] - **Strategy View**: On Monday, carbonate lithium opened and closed higher, and the total positions increased. The domestic carbonate lithium inventory decreased, and the market has optimistic expectations for the supply - demand pattern in 2026. However, the price transmission to the end - users is incomplete. It is recommended to observe or lightly trade. The reference range for the Guangzhou Futures Exchange's carbonate lithium 2605 contract is 125,500 - 134,500 yuan/ton [18] Alumina - **Market Information**: On January 5, 2026, the alumina index fell 0.22% to 2,749 yuan/ton. The positions increased, and the basis showed that the Shandong spot was at a discount to the main contract. The overseas price fell, and the import loss was reported. The futures warehouse receipts remained unchanged, and the ore prices were stable [20] - **Strategy View**: After the rainy season, the ore supply from Guinea is expected to increase, and the alumina smelting capacity is in surplus. Although there are expectations of supply - side policies, the price rebound faces difficulties. It is recommended to observe, and short positions can be considered if there is no actual production cut. The reference range for the domestic main contract AO2602 is 2,400 - 2,900 yuan/ton [21] Stainless Steel - **Market Information**: On Monday, the stainless steel main contract closed at 13,075 yuan/ton, down 0.38%. The positions increased. The spot prices in different markets showed different trends, and the raw material prices such as nickel and chromium were stable or increased. The futures inventory decreased, and the social inventory decreased [23] - **Strategy View**: In late December, the stainless steel price was driven up by the nickel price. The supply from steel mills was limited, and the inventory decreased. The nickel iron price was firm, but the terminal demand was weak. If the nickel ore supply quota is tightened, the price may rise further. It is advisable to go long at low prices and closely monitor policy implementation [24] Cast Aluminum Alloy - **Market Information**: The cast aluminum alloy price accelerated its upward movement. The AD2603 contract closed up 3.04% to 22,520 yuan/ton. The positions and trading volume increased, and the warehouse receipts slightly increased. The domestic mainstream ADC12 price increased, and the inventory decreased slightly [26] - **Strategy View**: The cost of cast aluminum alloy is strong, and there are supply - side disturbances. The price is expected to be range - bound with an upward bias [27]
