Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Last week, the main contract of Shanghai lead fluctuated widely at a low level. The Fed's hawkish stance and the escalating situation between the US and Iran led to a decline in interest - rate cut expectations and increased concerns about economic downturn, suppressing the risk - asset market. The fundamentals showed limited improvement. The losses of secondary lead smelters led to an expectation of supply tightening, and the prices of lead ore and waste batteries remained firm, providing cost support. However, poor battery consumption and the inflow of crude lead kept lead ingot inventories at a high level, restricting the rebound space of lead prices. In the short term, both macro and micro supports are limited, and it is expected that lead prices will fluctuate in a low - level range [4][7][8] Group 3: Summary by Directory Transaction Data - From March 13th to March 20th, the SHFE lead price dropped from 16,555 yuan/ton to 16,290 yuan/ton, a decrease of 265 yuan/ton; the LME lead price fell from 1,903 US dollars/ton to 1,889 US dollars/ton, a decrease of 14 US dollars/ton; the Shanghai - London ratio decreased from 8.70 to 8.62; the SHFE inventory decreased by 9,939 tons to 66,110 tons; the LME inventory decreased by 400 tons to 284,100 tons; the social inventory increased by 0.11 million tons to 7.76 million tons; the spot premium remained at - 190 yuan/ton [5] Market Review - Last week, the price of the main contract PB2605 of Shanghai lead stabilized at a low level and then fluctuated widely. The downstream battery enterprises' buying improved after the lead price decline, but the cautious macro - sentiment, the collective pressure on the precious metal and non - ferrous metal sectors, and the weak fundamentals restricted the rebound space of lead prices. The weekly decline was 1.9%, closing at 16,290 yuan/ton. The LME lead price fell below the 1,900 US dollars/ton line, with a decline of 0.74%, closing at 1,889 US dollars/ton. In the spot market, there were differences in the prices of electrolytic lead and secondary lead, and the downstream enterprises' purchasing was mainly long - term contracts, with regional differences in the spot market transactions [6] Industry News - On March 20, 2026, the domestic lead concentrate processing fee was 250 yuan/metal ton, unchanged from the previous period; the import processing fee was - 135 US dollars/dry ton, an increase of 10 US dollars/dry ton from the previous period. From January to February 2026, the cumulative import volume of lead concentrate was 252,200 tons, a year - on - year increase of 13.8%; the cumulative import volume of silver concentrate was 328,600 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 1.27%.

Core Insights - The report emphasizes the importance of understanding market dynamics through three dimensions: policy, industry, and volatility, with the Chande theory focusing on the volatility aspect [3] - Chande theory consists of three components: fundamental analysis, comparative analysis, and technical analysis, with technical analysis being the closest to objective price facts and forming a high-probability trading system [3] Section Summaries Chande Theory Fundamentals - The Chande theory is built on three core principles: 1. Trends must complete and transform into new trends (upward/downward/consolidation) [4] 2. Self-similar structures indicate market fractal characteristics, with multiple levels of recursive definitions [4] 3. Three types of buy/sell points are defined: - First buy: trend bottom divergence (reversal point) - Second buy: secondary level pullback without breaking previous lows (confirmation point) - Third buy: breakout from the central area followed by a pullback without returning to the central area (acceleration point) [4][5] Technical Analysis Framework - The Chande framework includes a systematic breakdown with prerequisites and philosophical foundations, focusing on the following key points: - Segments must be broken by reverse segments, indicating the exhaustion of old energy and the establishment of new balance [5] - Any trend can be uniquely decomposed into three forms of connections at the same level [5] - Small divergences can trigger large-level reversals [5] Market Self-Similarity - The unique decomposition theorem states that any trend can be uniquely decomposed into a combination of trends and consolidations, resembling prime factorization [22] - The fractal nature of market movements allows for multi-level operations, where higher-level trends are defined by lower-level movements [23] Divergence and Buy/Sell Points - Divergence is a critical signal indicating the exhaustion of trend momentum, with two adjacent segments compared to identify strength changes [39] - The three types of buy/sell points provide a complete operational chain: - First type: trend divergence point, indicating potential reversals - Second type: confirmation point after a pullback - Third type: confirmation point after breaking out of a central area [39] Summary of Chande Theory - The Chande technical analysis system's three core principles create a tightly interconnected and logically sound system: - "Trends must complete" serves as the strategic guiding principle, establishing the ultimate laws of market operation - "Self-similar structures and levels" provide standardized tools for market dissection - "Divergence and buy/sell points" offer precise entry and exit signals for trading decisions [52]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - C3 raw materials for PP are relatively strong, but the valuation repair is limited. The overall fundamentals at the end of the year provide limited support, and attention should be paid to the marginal changes of PDH units under deep losses [1][2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Tracking - **Futures Data**: The closing price of PP2605 yesterday was 6688, with a daily increase of 0.87%, trading volume of 298,300, and a change in open interest of -1,773 [1] - **Basis and Spread Changes**: The basis of the 05 contract yesterday was -148 (compared to -150 the day before), and the 05 - 09 contract spread was -19 (compared to -31 the day before) [1] - **Important Spot Prices**: In North China, it was 6,510 yuan/ton (compared to 6,520 the day before); in East China, it was 6,540 yuan/ton (compared to 6,480 the day before); in South China, it remained at 6,690 yuan/ton [1] Spot News - The market is volatile. Upstream pre - sale pressure is not large, downstream is gradually on holiday, trading atmosphere is average, basis is weakly stable, and warehouse receipts are at a high level. The PP US dollar market price has increased, but overseas suppliers' enthusiasm for quoting to China is low. Exports are affected by the strengthening exchange rate and the rising domestic market, and downstream continues to purchase on a rigid - demand basis, with little improvement in trading [1] Market Condition Analysis - **Cost Side**: Crude oil and propane prices are volatile. There is a valuation differentiation within olefins, and the valuation of PE in terms of internal, external, and upstream profit margins is higher than that of PP [2] - **Supply Side**: There is no new production before the 2605 contract, and the game between existing supply and demand intensifies [2] - **Demand Side**: Downstream new orders follow up on a rigid - demand basis. At the end of the year, the overall fundamental support is limited. PDH profit on the cost side remains at a low level. Multiple PDH units in South China have given maintenance expectations, and some are inquiring about propane raw materials for the end of March. Under deep PDH losses, attention should be paid to the marginal changes of PDH units [2] Trend Intensity - PP trend intensity is 0 [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Ethylene glycol still has significant inventory accumulation pressure, with high domestic operating rates and expected moderately high import volumes from February to March. It is likely to experience substantial inventory accumulation during the downstream off - season around the Spring Festival [2][4]. - The previous cold wave narrative was unable to support the upward trend of ethylene glycol. The cold wave had no substantial impact on the devices, and the influence of cold waves on China's overall imports has diminished. Currently, the key exogenous variable is the geopolitical situation in the Middle East [12]. - If the geopolitical issues ease, ethylene glycol will need to compress its valuation to reduce the high operating rate under the pressure of weak fundamentals [2][12] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Currently, the fundamentals of ethylene glycol remain weak - Ethylene glycol faces significant inventory accumulation pressure, with high domestic operating rates, especially for coal - based plants with good profits. Iran and Kuwait have abundant supplies, Taiwan, China is shipping actively, and Saudi Arabia's production cuts will be reflected later. Import volumes from February to March are expected to be moderately high [4]. - Inventory is likely to increase to historical high levels during the Spring Festival downstream off - season. The inventory decline cycle is expected to start after the maintenance season in March and the restart of the polyester peak season, but the de - stocking intensity will be gentle until the ethylene glycol operating rate is substantially reduced [4] 3.2 The previous cold wave narrative was difficult to support, and the main focus is on the influence of Middle East geopolitics - The cold wave in Texas and Louisiana did not cause extremely low temperatures, only around - 5 degrees Celsius, far from the - 19 degrees Celsius in 2021 that led to the shutdown of chemical plants. So, it had no substantial impact on the devices, and the cold wave narrative ended quickly [12]. - Since the Sino - US tariff issue, the amount of ethylene glycol exported from the US to China has decreased significantly, and its exports have mostly been replaced by those from the Middle East and Taiwan, China. So, the influence of cold waves on China's imports has weakened [12]. - The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is a key exogenous variable. As US exports decline, Saudi Arabia's exports to China have reached a relatively high level. Saudi and Kuwaiti exports are affected by the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. If the geopolitical issues ease, ethylene glycol needs to compress its valuation to reduce the high operating rate [12]
