Group 1 - The market is facing two significant turning points in 2025, with the first being the tariff event that occurred in early April 2024, which led to a rapid market decline [1] - The tariff conflict's progression has been faster than in 2018, with both sides quickly raising tariffs and entering negotiations, indicating a strong bilateral dependency [2] - The second turning point in September is marked by major domestic events, leading to profit-taking after significant market gains in July and August [2] Group 2 - Following the tariff event, sectors such as optical modules, servers, and optical fiber cables performed exceptionally well in the second and third quarters, particularly benefiting from the accelerated shipment of NVIDIA's GB200 cabinets [2] - The market is currently experiencing volatility due to profit-taking and concerns over potential AI bubbles, alongside anticipation of policy directions from upcoming meetings [3] - High dividend and high cash flow assets are recommended for future allocations, with specific ETFs like cash flow ETF (159399) and dividend state-owned enterprise ETF (510720) being highlighted for their stability and potential [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - Overseas macro: The Fed's FOMC meeting was dovish. With the US economy and inflation on a downward trend, the soft - landing trade driven by liquidity has further heated up. The SEP shows an upward adjustment in economic growth outlook and a slight downward adjustment in inflation expectations. The nomination of the new Fed chair may be confirmed early next year, and the more dovish candidate, Hasset, has an increasing probability of being nominated. Before his nomination and taking office, it may be the most favorable period for the trading of liquidity easing expectations and Fed independence risks [5]. - Domestic macro: The Politburo meeting and the Central Economic Work Conference in December analyzed and studied the economic work for 2026. The tone of the meeting is moderately positive. It is expected that the overall intensity of macro - policies in 2026 will be roughly the same as in 2025, and the idea of counter - cyclical and cross - cyclical balance will continue. Food prices have rebounded significantly, and prices of household appliances, clothing, airplane tickets, domestic services, and catering have also increased [5]. - Asset views: The current macro - environment is beneficial to the precious metals sector and non - ferrous metals with high financial attributes such as copper and aluminum. Attention should also be paid to other non - ferrous metals like tin and lithium carbonate. Domestic equities are conservative at the end of the year and during the policy window period. The strong demand for industrial products in emerging markets and the expected Fed rate cuts are favorable for industrial commodities. The tight supply - demand fundamentals of copper and aluminum may drive their prices higher. On the equity side, the stock index lacks upward momentum after the important meetings have set the tone and is relatively defensive [5]. 3.

1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry The provided content does not mention the investment rating for the polyester industry. 2. Core Views of the Report - In 2025, the polyester industry chain was affected by factors such as macro - sentiment fluctuations, tariff conflicts, cost oscillations, device changes, and weak demand, leading to intensified price fluctuations and a further downward shift in the price center, hitting a historical low since 2007 [2][21]. - In 2026, the cost is expected to maintain relatively weak wide - range fluctuations. The oversupply of crude oil will put further downward pressure on oil prices, with Brent crude oil mainly fluctuating in the range of $50 - 75 per barrel [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 2025 Polyester Industry Chain Market Review - The price of the polyester industry chain fluctuated significantly in 2025, showing different trends in each quarter due to various factors such as cost, tariffs, and device maintenance. For example, in the first quarter, it showed a trend of rising first and then falling; in the second quarter, it was affected by tariffs and device maintenance, showing a deep V - shaped trend [21][22][23]. 3.2 Crude Oil: Supply Surplus and Price Pressure - In 2025, crude oil prices continued to decline under the pressure of continuous production increase, but were also affected by US tariff policies and geopolitical conflicts, resulting in sharp price fluctuations. Brent crude oil fell below $59 per barrel, and WTI crude oil fell below $56 per barrel, both hitting new lows since February 2021 [29]. - In 2026, crude oil demand is expected to grow slowly, and supply growth will slow down, but there will still be an oversupply situation, and oil prices will continue to be under pressure.

Core Viewpoint - The package delivery industry, particularly UPS, is facing near-term pressures but has significant long-term yield potential due to management's operational strategy aimed at a turnaround [1]. Industry Challenges - The delivery industry has experienced a downturn following a pandemic-driven demand boom, leading to overcapacity in the small-package delivery market. As the economy reopened, UPS faced reduced demand compared to its operational capacity [2]. - The introduction of Trump tariffs has created uncertainty in the small and medium-sized business (SMB) sector, complicating the situation for UPS as these businesses struggle to adapt to increased costs [3]. Company Restructuring - UPS is actively restructuring by shifting focus towards higher-margin markets such as healthcare and SMEs while reducing low-margin delivery volumes, particularly for Amazon. This strategy aims to enhance productivity rather than merely increasing volume [4]. - The company plans to cut Amazon delivery volume by 50% from late 2024 to mid-2026, which is expected to lead to significant cost reductions and help mitigate revenue pressures from market challenges and tariffs [6]. Operational Strategy - Management's strategy includes improving productivity through higher-margin deliveries and investing in technologies that enhance operational efficiency, such as automation and smart facilities. This approach is seen as a sensible long-term strategy [7]. Financial Outlook - Analysts project UPS will generate free cash flow of $4.6 billion in 2025, $5.3 billion in 2026, and $4.7 billion in 2027, which does not cover the $5.5 billion in dividends the company is committed to maintaining [8]. - There is a likelihood that UPS's net debt will increase as the company may need to fund its dividends, but this could be sustainable if long-term profitability improves alongside market conditions [9]. Near-Term Outlook - The near-term outlook for UPS remains uncertain, with potential impacts from tariffs expected to be felt more acutely in the coming year. The company could outperform if its recovery strategy is successful, but continued market pressures could lead to underperformance [10].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Policy boots have landed, risk appetite has recovered, and the idea of balanced allocation is maintained. With the implementation of the Fed's interest rate cut and the end of balance - sheet reduction, the achievement of phased economic and trade results in the China - US summit, and the release of specific contents of the Fourth Plenary Session and the "15th Five - Year Plan Proposal", market sentiment has improved. The marginal improvement in liquidity and the easing of China - US economic and trade relations will benefit domestic and overseas equity assets again, especially in the directions of technology, independent manufacturing, and innovation. However, the short - term policy benefits have been fully priced in, and valuation pressure and capital congestion may cause the stock index to fluctuate and consolidate. In the medium term, as the "15th Five - Year Plan" is implemented and the policies of the Two Sessions next year are put into effect, the upward momentum of the equity market still exists. At present, it is recommended to maintain a balanced allocation idea. Non - ferrous metals perform relatively well supported by the technology cycle and trade recovery. Black commodities have phased rebound opportunities due to policy expectations and valuation repair. Bonds maintain a volatile and slightly stronger pattern. Precious metals are sorted out in the short term but the medium - and long - term allocation value remains unchanged. The overall strategy framework of "balanced allocation, structural attack" is continued [6]. 3.
