Group 1 - The core viewpoint emphasizes grasping the commodity cycle and technology empowerment, with a focus on oil price variables. Overall commodity prices have rebounded this year, particularly precious metals, while Brent crude oil has risen above $72 per barrel due to geopolitical influences, nearing the highest level since July of the previous year. The demand shift is moving from traditional infrastructure to computing power and new energy sectors, indicating a recovery phase. Energy prices are closely linked to U.S. inflation, impacting interest rate policies, bonds, and technology sectors. Major institutions like IEA and EIA predict that oil supply growth will exceed demand growth in 2026, but current oil inventories have not surged significantly, and oil-producing countries are cautious about increasing output, suggesting strong short-term support for oil prices [8][9][10]. Group 2 - In the domestic equity market, as of the week ending February 27, the style ranking is cyclical > growth > consumption > finance, with an average daily trading volume of 24,244 billion yuan, up from 20,946 billion yuan previously. Among the 31 primary industries tracked, 25 saw gains while 6 experienced declines. The top-performing sectors included steel (+12.27%), non-ferrous metals (+9.77%), and basic chemicals (+7.15%), while the sectors with the largest declines were media (-5.10%), retail (-1.64%), and food and beverage (-1.54%) [19][11]. Group 3 - The report indicates that the energy sector is experiencing upward pressure, with WTI crude oil rising to $67.02 per barrel, a 0.8% increase from the previous week. As of February 20, U.S. crude oil production was 13.702 million barrels per day, a year-on-year increase of 200,000 barrels per day. The U.S. refinery throughput was 15.661 million barrels per day, with an operating rate of 88.6%. Geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding Iran, have raised concerns about oil supply security in the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to price increases [30][31][32].

Core Thesis - JBS N.V. is viewed positively due to its strong market position and growth potential in the protein sector, with shares trading at $16.18 and a trailing P/E of 15.53 and forward P/E of 3.87 [1][2] Company Overview - JBS S.A. operates as a global leader in protein production, with extensive operations across beef, pork, poultry, and diversified products, including plant-based proteins, leather, and biodiesel [3] - The company has over 250 facilities and operates in more than 180 countries, providing significant bargaining power and distribution advantages [3] Market Dynamics - There is strong secular demand for protein driven by population growth and rising incomes in emerging markets, which supports long-term growth [4] - Geographic expansion, particularly in Europe through acquisitions, is expected to enhance market share [4] Financial Performance - In Q3 2025, JBS reported net sales of approximately $22.6 billion, reflecting a ~13% increase, although profit and EBITDA declined due to tight U.S. beef supplies and rising input costs [5] - The company is pursuing around $2 billion in annual capital expenditures for facility modernization and higher-margin segments, supported by a dual NYSE listing for cheaper capital [5] Competitive Landscape - JBS's competitive strength is derived from its scale, integration, and diversification, but it faces moderate competition from rivals like Tyson Foods, Marfrig, and BRF, as well as changing consumer preferences towards alternative proteins [5] - The company’s leverage is approximately 2.4x, indicating a need for careful financial discipline amidst cyclical risks [5] Risks and Opportunities - Key risks include commodity cycles, disease outbreaks, ESG/legal pressures, and trade disruptions, which could significantly impact profitability [6] - Upside potential exists through European acquisitions, operational improvements, and growth in prepared foods or plant-based proteins, while downside risks are linked to cyclicality and regulatory pressures [6] - JBS's valuation appears attractive with a forward P/E of ~9.1 and a strong return on equity of ~23.7%, although earnings volatility necessitates caution [6]

Core Viewpoint - International crude oil prices have continued their strong performance since the Spring Festival, with Brent crude futures experiencing the highest increase in 13 years during this period, driven primarily by geopolitical tensions rather than supply-demand fundamentals [1][2]. Geopolitical Factors - The rise in international oil prices is significantly supported by geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing situation between the U.S. and Iran, which has raised concerns about potential military conflict and supply risks [2][5]. - Analysts suggest that the geopolitical premium in the oil market is currently around $1, which could increase to $4-$5 if tensions escalate further [3][8]. Supply-Demand Dynamics - Despite a shift in the global oil market towards oversupply, with an estimated surplus of 1.5 to 2 million barrels per day expected as OPEC+ begins to increase production in 2025, the current price trends are largely influenced by geopolitical factors rather than fundamental supply-demand metrics [2][4]. - Historical data indicates that while there have been more years of price declines post-Spring Festival, the magnitude of price increases during those years has been significantly higher, suggesting a favorable risk-reward ratio for potential price increases in the near term [4][5]. Market Predictions - Short-term predictions indicate that if the U.S. and Iran reach an agreement, oil prices may face downward pressure, potentially reversing gains made during the Spring Festival. Conversely, if tensions escalate, prices could remain elevated, with Brent crude expected to trade between $70 and $75 per barrel [8]. - In the medium to long term, analysts project that oil prices could rise to the range of $75 to $80 per barrel by 2026, supported by bullish market expectations and geopolitical premiums [8].

Core Viewpoint - International crude oil prices have continued their strong performance since the Spring Festival, with Brent crude futures experiencing the highest increase in 13 years during this period, driven primarily by geopolitical tensions rather than supply-demand fundamentals [1][2]. Geopolitical Influence - The current rise in international oil prices has diverged from the oversupply fundamentals, with geopolitical factors, particularly the U.S.-Iran situation, becoming the main influence [2][3]. - Analysts suggest that the geopolitical risk premium in the oil market is currently around $1, which could rise to $4-$5 if tensions escalate, while a de-escalation could lead to a rapid price drop [2]. Historical Trends Post-Spring Festival - Historical data from 2013 to 2025 indicates that oil prices tend to have a higher potential for increase in the month following the Spring Festival, with an average increase of approximately 10.96% during the years when prices rose [2][3]. - Despite more years of price declines, the magnitude of increases in rising years significantly outweighs the declines, suggesting a favorable risk-reward ratio for price increases post-holiday [2]. Factors Affecting Oil Prices - Key supportive factors for oil prices include geopolitical uncertainties and U.S. sanctions on oil-producing countries, while global economic weakness and ongoing oversupply remain as negative factors [3]. - Historical events have shown that significant geopolitical events have a greater impact on oil prices than conventional supply-demand dynamics [3]. Commodity Cycle and Oil Price Outlook - The current global commodity cycle, characterized by rising prices in precious and industrial metals, is expected to provide upward momentum for oil prices [4][5]. - The analysis indicates that the transmission of price increases from precious metals to industrial metals and then to oil is effective, driven by liquidity improvements and economic recovery [4][5]. - Despite the unique characteristics of the current cycle, two main supportive factors for oil prices are identified: bullish market expectations and geopolitical risk premiums [5]. Short-term and Long-term Predictions - In the short term, geopolitical factors are expected to strongly influence oil prices, with potential fluctuations based on developments in U.S.-Iran relations [5]. - In the long term, historical trends suggest that oil prices may rise to the range of $75 to $80 per barrel by 2026, supported by bullish market sentiment and geopolitical risk premiums [5].

Group 1: Commodity Price Trends - Since August 2023, precious metals and industrial metals have shown significant price increases, with gold rising by 45.6% and silver by 103% since August 2025, while COMEX copper has increased by 15% since September 2023, raising expectations for oil price increases[2] - Historical analysis of commodity cycles from 1992-2021 indicates a valid transmission logic from precious metals to industrial metals and then to oil, driven by monetary easing and economic recovery[2] - The current commodity cycle differs from previous ones, with precious metal price increases occurring ahead of monetary easing, driven by de-dollarization expectations and geopolitical risks[2] Group 2: Key Support Factors for Oil Prices - Two main support factors for oil prices are identified: the desire of oil-producing countries to raise prices and geopolitical premiums due to global political and economic challenges[2] - The U.S. is seen as a key player in oil price dynamics, with potential motivations to raise prices post-midterm elections, as inflation concerns may ease[2] - OPEC countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, are also inclined to raise oil prices to ensure fiscal stability, especially under increasing financial pressures[2] Group 3: Investment Insights - Brent crude oil prices are projected to rise to the range of $75-80 per barrel within the year, driven by the dual logic of rising expectations and geopolitical premiums[3] - Upstream resource sectors are expected to directly benefit from rising oil prices, enhancing profitability and dividend stability, making high-dividend stocks more attractive in a declining interest rate environment[3] - Oil price increases are likely to boost capital expenditures in oil companies, creating lagging benefits for oil service and high-end equipment sectors[3]

1. Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The factors affecting commodity prices are complex, with the core factors being financial and commodity attributes. The financial attributes include macro - liquidity, risk preference, and the role of the US dollar as a pricing "anchor". The commodity attributes involve supply - demand fundamentals, including both normal and abnormal influencing factors [2][3][7]. - Commodity prices do not rise and fall synchronously but follow a certain rotation order. Based on financial attributes, the mean - reversion of commodity ratios drives price rotation. Based on commodity attributes, economic cycle rotation and inventory cycles lead to the rotation of "precious metals - industrial metals - energy - agricultural products" [11][15][19]. - The current commodity pricing is influenced by the re - construction of the monetary "anchor", the abnormal supply - demand factors in commodity attributes, such as technological revolutions, industrial transformation, supply - chain re - construction under geopolitical influence, and strategic reserves. These factors have a more significant impact on prices compared to traditional supply - demand drivers [3]. - In the past two years, some commodities have shown strong performance, mainly led by precious metals and non - ferrous metals. The current commodity rally is mainly based on macro - narrative logic changes rather than traditional demand - driven cycles. If the economic cycle recovers more clearly, the traditional demand and cycle rotation will contribute more to commodity price increases [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Commodity Pricing Factors and Rotation Analysis Framework 3.1.1 Commodity Pricing Factors - Financial attributes: Conventional factors include macro - liquidity (e.g., monetary policy, interest rates, inflation expectations) and risk preference. At a higher level, the US dollar serves as the pricing "anchor" for commodities, and its "de - anchoring" can lead to significant price re - evaluation [2][7]. - Commodity attributes: Core drivers are based on supply and demand. Normal factors include supply - demand gaps, production costs, and inventory levels. Abnormal factors on the demand side include technological revolutions, industrial transformation, and national strategic reserves; on the supply side, they include policy regulation, wars, pandemics, export controls, and weather [3][8]. 3.1.2 Commodity Rotation Framework - Based on financial attributes, the mean - reversion of commodity ratios (price - ratio effect) promotes price diffusion and rotation. For example, when the price ratio of copper to gold or oil exceeds the historical average, it may trigger a mean - reversion [15]. - Based on commodity attributes, economic cycle rotation and inventory cycles lead to the rotation of "precious metals - industrial metals - energy - agricultural products". In the recession period, precious metals are favored for their hedging value; in the recovery period, industrial metals take the lead; in the over - heating period, energy performs strongly; and in the stagflation period, agricultural products make up for the late - stage increase [15][19]. 3.2 Two Rounds of Typical Commodity Cycle Trends Review - The first round was in the 1970s, during the depression of the fourth Kondratieff cycle. The breakdown of the Bretton Woods system and two oil crises led to a tripling of the CRB index. Gold led the rally, followed by oil, and then agricultural products [28][34]. - The second round was in the early 21st century, driven by China's rise. The CRB index also tripled. LME copper led the early stage, oil had a more significant increase in the later stage, and agricultural products had a late - stage rally [28][37]. - After the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, commodities followed the economic cycle rotation. Precious metals led in early 2009, industrial metals rebounded in the second and third quarters of 2009, oil prices climbed as the economy recovered, and after 2011, oil and agricultural products remained stable while precious metals and non - ferrous metals declined [40]. 3.3 Current Fundamental Situation and Rotation Status - In recent years, the prices of precious metals and non - ferrous metals have risen significantly, leading to expectations of a new commodity super - cycle. In 2025, precious metals and non - ferrous metals led the rally, energy was at the bottom, and agricultural products had not yet started [42]. - The drivers include the decline of the US dollar's reserve status, the double - loose monetary and fiscal policies in the Kondratieff depression, the demand for upstream resources driven by the AI technological revolution, the deepening of geopolitical contradictions leading to increased strategic reserves, and the return of manufacturing. However, due to the uncertain economic recovery, the typical commodity diffusion and rotation based on the cycle have not yet occurred. If the traditional economic cycle rotation becomes more obvious, the commodity rally will spread to black metals, energy, and agricultural products [46][54].
