Group 1: Report Title and General Information - The report is titled "Industrial Consumer Goods Drive Moderate Price Recovery - December 2025 CPI and PPI Review" [1] - The report was published on January 11, 2026 [10] Group 2: Report Highlights and Core Views - In December 2025, domestic prices improved unexpectedly supported by imported factors and pre - holiday consumption. Core CPI year - on - year growth remained at 1.2%, and the year - on - year decline of PPI narrowed [2] - In 2026, food CPI may still be dragged down by pig prices in the first half of the year, but the service sector is resilient, and the industrial consumer goods sector is supported by the "anti - involution" policy and the international metal price increase cycle. With the low - base effect, prices may continue a moderate recovery. It is neutrally expected that the year - on - year growth rate of PPI will turn positive in the fourth quarter [2] - This year, the bond market may operate in an environment of moderate price recovery. The long - term bond is expected to fluctuate weakly, with the 10 - year Treasury yield expected to fluctuate between 1.8% - 1.9%. The bond market's periodic recovery opportunity may come in the second half of the first quarter [2] Group 3: December 2025 Price Data - In December 2025, CPI rose 0.2% month - on - month and 0.8% year - on - year, with the year - on - year increase expanding by 0.1 percentage points compared with the previous month. Core CPI rose 1.2% year - on - year [7] - In December 2025, PPI rose 0.2% month - on - month and fell 1.9% year - on - year, with the year - on - year decline narrowing by 0.3 percentage points compared with the previous month [7] Group 4: Factors Affecting CPI Core CPI - Industrial consumer goods are the main support for core CPI, while service prices are stable. In December 2025, the year - on - year growth rate of core CPI remained at 1.2% for three consecutive months [11] - The year - on - year growth rate of industrial consumer goods (excluding energy) prices increased to 2.5% for six consecutive months, driving the year - on - year increase of CPI by about 0.63 percentage points. Gold jewelry prices rose 5.6% month - on - month due to rising international gold prices; copper and memory price increases drove household appliances and communication tools to rise 1.4% and 3% month - on - month respectively; the price decline of fuel cars and new - energy cars narrowed to 2.4% and 2.2% year - on - year respectively [11] - Service prices improved steadily, with the year - on - year growth rate slightly falling 0.1 percentage points to 0.6%. Among them, the month - on - month prices of household services and medical services were still stronger than the seasonal average [11] Overall CPI - The increase in food prices drove CPI to continue rising, while energy prices still dragged down CPI. In December 2025, CPI was stronger than the seasonal average month - on - month, and the year - on - year increase expanded by 0.1 percentage points to 0.8%, reaching the highest level since March 2023 [11] - Food prices rose 1.1% year - on - year, with the increase expanding by 0.9 percentage points compared with the previous month, driving the year - on - year increase of CPI by about 0.21 percentage points. Pre - holiday consumption demand pushed up the prices of fresh fruits and shrimps and crabs by 2.6% and 2.5% respectively. The drag of pork and egg prices on the year - on - year CPI decreased, but pig prices may remain low in the first half of this year [11] - Energy prices fell 3.8% year - on - year, with the decline expanding by 0.4 percentage points compared with the previous month. Affected by international oil price changes, domestic gasoline prices fell 1.2% month - on - month, and the year - on - year decline expanded to 8.4% [11] Group 5: Factors Affecting PPI - The continuous implementation of the "anti - involution" policy and the increase in international non - ferrous metal prices drove the month - on - month increase of PPI for three consecutive months, and the year - on - year decline narrowed. In December 2025, the month - on - month growth rate of PPI rebounded for three consecutive months, with the increase expanding by 0.1 percentage points to 0.2%. The year - on - year decline of PPI also narrowed by 0.3 percentage points to - 1.9% [11] - The year - on - year declines of both living materials and production materials narrowed. Production materials rose 0.3% month - on - month, while living materials remained flat month - on - month [11] - With the implementation of the "anti - involution" measures, the supply - demand structure of some industries improved, and the year - on - year price declines of the coal mining and washing, lithium - ion battery manufacturing, and photovoltaic industries narrowed [11] - The increase in international non - ferrous metal prices drove the prices of non - ferrous metal mining and dressing and non - ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industries to rise 3.7% and 2.8% month - on - month respectively, with the increases expanding by 1.1 and 0.7 percentage points compared with the previous month [11] Group 6: Upstream and Downstream Price Trends - The prices of upstream mining industries continued to rise, while the prices of mid - and downstream industries were stable. The price game may have been transmitted to the downstream. The substantial implementation of the "anti - involution" policy drove the continuous price recovery of industries such as coal and photovoltaic, but some key industries for capacity management did not improve significantly [11] - Among upstream industries, the prices of coal mining and washing and non - ferrous metal mining and dressing increased for many months, while the year - on - year price growth rates of industries such as petroleum, coal and other fuel processing (- 7.9%) and non - metallic mineral products (- 6.8%) were still declining [11] - The month - on - month price growth rates of industries such as general equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing were basically flat or fluctuated slightly, and the upstream prices of most industries had not been smoothly transmitted to the mid - and downstream raw material processing and manufacturing industries [11] Group 7: Future Outlook - In 2026, food CPI may still be dragged down by pig prices in the first half of the year, but the service sector is resilient, and the industrial consumer goods sector is supported by the "anti - involution" policy and the international metal price increase cycle. With the low - base effect, prices may continue a moderate recovery. It is neutrally expected that the year - on - year growth rate of PPI will turn positive in the fourth quarter [11] - This year, the bond market may operate in an environment of moderate price recovery. The long - term bond is expected to fluctuate weakly, with the 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury yields expected to adjust to around 1.9% and 2.4% respectively. The bond market's periodic recovery opportunity may come in the second half of the first quarter [11]

Market Overview - The A-share market achieved a "good start" in 2026, with the Shanghai Composite Index recording 16 consecutive days of gains, setting a historical record for consecutive positive trading days. Major broad-based indices experienced widespread increases, indicating a recovery in market risk appetite, with growth and small-cap styles prevailing [1][21]. - Weekly trading volume in the A-share market surpassed 30 trillion yuan, with financing transactions becoming active and the financing balance exceeding 2.6 trillion yuan, marking a historical high. Key sectors such as commercial aerospace, satellite navigation, brain-computer interfaces, and nuclear fusion continued to attract attention, while related commodities also performed well [1][21]. Market Outlook - The current market conditions suggest a continuation of the bull market, with expectations for a spring trading window. Positive economic indicators, such as better-than-expected PMI and inflation data for December, provide fundamental support for the spring market. Additionally, there is a notable increase in the willingness of external funds to enter the market, with expectations for further inflows from insurance and resident funds [1][21][23]. Key Focus Areas - The increase in market volume has facilitated the index's breakthrough of previous highs. Since 2025, the A-share market has seen three instances of trading volume exceeding 30 trillion yuan, with the latest occurring on January 9, 2026. Following these volume spikes, the indices have consistently confirmed higher trading ranges, indicating a sustained upward trend [2][21]. - The influx of financing and foreign capital reflects a significant increase in market risk appetite. The financing balance reached a historical high of 2.6 trillion yuan, with financing transactions accounting for over 11.5% of total A-share trading volume, the highest level since November 2025. Notably, foreign capital transactions also surged, with northbound capital reaching 369.6 billion yuan, the highest since October 2025 [3][22]. Economic and Policy Environment - The economic fundamentals remain supportive, with both manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMIs returning to expansion territory in December. The CPI rose by 0.8% year-on-year, while the PPI decreased by 1.9%, both better than market expectations. The macroeconomic policy environment is favorable, with coordinated fiscal and monetary policies being implemented to support market liquidity [4][23]. - The industry configuration suggests a focus on technology themes such as AI applications, commercial aerospace, robotics, and domestic substitution, as well as sectors benefiting from price increases, such as chemicals and non-ferrous metals [4][23].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The raw materials are stronger than the finished products, and the steel mill profits continue to be compressed. The iron ore pricing is detached from supply - demand, with strong macro - support. The coal - coke supply - demand is subtly repaired, but contradictions are still accumulating. The ferroalloy market is affected by long - short sentiment, and the futures trading may return to the fundamentals [8][77][136][228]. - The macro - environment is generally favorable. The Central Economic Work Conference mentioned "anti - involution", and the special commentator of Qiushi magazine proposed to improve and stabilize the real estate market expectations [10][13]. - For iron ore, although the overseas supply is marginally weakening and the domestic demand is rebounding, the pricing is mainly affected by the upward macro - risk preference, and the ore price may continue to fluctuate at a high level in the short term [79]. - For coal - coke, due to event - driven and valuation repair, the supply - demand structure has subtle changes, and it will maintain a high - level oscillation pattern. The contradictions between supply and demand are still accumulating [139]. - For ferroalloys, the alloy prices first rose and then fell this week, with a slight decline in the price center. The cost side may be supported by ore and coal prices, and the futures may maintain an oscillating trend [230]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Steel Products - **Supply - demand and profit**: The supply - demand pattern of steel products is loose, but the cost supports the futures price rebound. The strong raw materials and weak finished products lead to the continuous compression of steel mill profits. The iron water production is expected to stop falling and then oscillate upwards, and attention should be paid to the hot - rolled coil inventory [10][14]. - **Rebar**: The basis and spread of rebar show a pattern of weak reality and strong expectation. The new - house sales remain at a low level, and the market confidence is still sluggish. The supply and demand are both weak, and the inventory is healthy. The steel mill's resumption of production and restocking expectations lead to a narrowing of the futures profit [21][26][32][37]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: The basis and spread of hot - rolled coil also show a pattern of weak reality and strong expectation. The demand is flat, and the export order receipt decreases month - on - month. The inventory is high, and production reduction is needed to reduce inventory. The steel mill's resumption of production and restocking expectations lead to a narrowing of the futures profit [42][48][49][53][55]. - **Variety spread and regional difference**: Analyzed the price spreads between different steel products (such as cold - hot spread, coil - rebar spread) and regional price differences [59][66]. 3.2 Iron Ore - **Supply**: The overseas iron ore shipments have declined from the high level at the beginning of the year, and there are also disturbances in the acceptance of Jinbuba and the pricing index of Rio Tinto and Fortescue. The supply of non - mainstream mines has some changes, and the domestic mines in the southwest region have significantly increased their production after the New Year [79][90][102]. - **Demand**: The downstream may show a restocking drive before the Spring Festival, and the iron water production has rebounded month - on - month. The substitution effect of scrap steel on iron ore is weakening [79][108]. - **Inventory**: The port inventory of iron ore remains at a high level [112][115]. - **Price performance**: The main 05 - contract price of iron ore is still strong. The medium - grade iron ore prices are strong in the spot market [83][84]. 3.3 Coal - Coke - **Supply**: The domestic coal production has rapidly recovered, and the Mongolian coal imports are expected to decline in January due to the high port inventory [136]. - **Demand**: The iron water production has increased, and the downstream raw material procurement enthusiasm has improved, but the blast furnace resumption rhythm of steel mills still needs to be observed [137]. - **Inventory**: The total inventory of coking coal at all levels has increased month - on - month, mainly in independent coking plants and ports [138]. - **Viewpoint**: The coal - coke market will maintain a high - level oscillation pattern. The contradictions between supply and demand are still accumulating, and investors are advised to try to go long at low prices [139]. 3.4 Ferroalloys (Silicon Iron and Manganese Silicon) - **Market trend**: The prices of ferroalloys first rose and then fell this week, with a slight decline in the price center. The cost side may be supported by ore and coal prices, and the futures may maintain an oscillating trend [230]. - **Manganese silicon**: The production has decreased slightly month - on - month. The new round of steel procurement is about to start, and the steel mills may start the restocking rhythm. The manganese ore supply - demand is in a weak balance, and the port prices are firm [237][244][261]. - **Silicon iron**: The production has increased month - on - month. The steel procurement volume of a large factory in Hebei has increased month - on - month, and the raw material restocking rhythm may start. The non - steel demand has some changes, and the inventory has increased [274][279][287][289].
