Core Viewpoint - The recent announcement of the "Shanghai Seven Measures" aims to optimize the city's real estate policies by reducing housing purchase restrictions and increasing financial support for homebuyers, thereby stimulating market demand and stabilizing expectations in the real estate sector [1][2]. Policy Adjustments - The new policy allows non-Shanghai residents who have paid social insurance or individual income tax for at least one year to purchase unlimited housing outside the outer ring and one unit within the inner ring. Those with three years of contributions can buy two units in the inner ring, while holders of a Shanghai residence permit for over five years can buy one unit citywide [1]. - The policy also raises the public housing fund loan limit for first-time buyers to 2.4 million yuan, with a maximum of 3.24 million yuan, and optimizes loan conditions to alleviate financial pressure on families [1]. Market Impact - The announcement is expected to boost housing transactions during the traditional peak season of "Golden March and Silver April," with the real estate sector and related industries, such as steel, experiencing significant stock price increases [2][3]. - The real estate sector accounts for approximately 25% of domestic steel consumption, making it a crucial demand driver for the black metal sector [3]. Inventory and Production Insights - As of February 23, 2026, social steel inventory was reported at 10.52 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 10.8%, while member companies of the China Iron and Steel Association reported a steel inventory of 15.11 million tons, down 6.8% year-on-year [4]. - The reduction in high furnace loads in northern steel mills due to environmental regulations is expected to lead to a decrease in daily iron output, coinciding with the seasonal increase in downstream demand [5]. Future Outlook - The market sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with expectations of a stable demand environment as the policy effects take time to materialize. The focus will be on the sales data for March and April to determine if the anticipated demand growth is realized [6]. - The steel market is expected to maintain a strong performance due to cost support from supply constraints, although the potential for significant price increases will depend on the speed of demand recovery [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Views - The market sentiment is average, and steel prices are fluctuating. Glass is showing a strong upward trend with supply - side disturbances, while soda ash is in a weak downward trend. For the double - silicon products, the market sentiment is cautious, and the alloys are fluctuating [1][3] - The overall strategy is that glass and silicon products are in a fluctuating state, while soda ash is in a weak fluctuating state [2][4] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Glass and Soda Ash - **Market Analysis** - Glass: The glass futures market showed a strong upward trend yesterday, and the spot market prices remained stable with good sales by manufacturers [1] - Soda ash: The soda ash futures market showed a weak downward trend yesterday, and the spot market was cautious, with downstream enterprises mainly making rigid - demand purchases [1] - **Supply - Demand and Logic** - Glass: The supply - demand contradiction of glass is still large. Although some production lines have been gradually shut down for maintenance, the production reduction is still insufficient compared to the decline in rigid demand. The market anticipates a peak season after the Spring Festival, and attention should be paid to the progress of glass production line shutdowns [1] - Soda ash: The supply - demand contradiction of soda ash is relatively limited. Some soda ash plants have completed maintenance, and supply has rebounded. Considering the future new production projects of soda ash and the expected increase in cold repairs of float glass, it is necessary to suppress the production profits of soda ash enterprises to avoid supply - demand imbalance. Attention should be paid to the changes in float glass production lines and the progress of new soda ash production projects [1] - **Strategy** - Glass: Fluctuating [2] - Soda ash: Weakly fluctuating [2] 3.2 Double - Silicon Products (Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron) - **Market Analysis** - Silicon Manganese: The silicon manganese futures market fluctuated yesterday. Before the festival, steel mills' inventory replenishment has gradually ended, and mainstream steel mills have not launched a new round of tenders. The prices are relatively firm. The price of 6517 silicon manganese in the northern market is 5600 - 5700 yuan/ton, and in the southern market is 5720 - 5770 yuan/ton [3] - Silicon Iron: The silicon iron futures market fluctuated yesterday. The spot market transactions were average, and downstream inventory replenishment was mainly for rigid demand. The cash - inclusive ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron natural lumps is 5250 - 5350 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron is 5850 - 6000 yuan/ton [3] - **Supply - Demand and Logic** - Silicon Manganese: The fundamentals of silicon manganese have improved. There is an expected increase in molten iron production in the future, and the demand for silicon manganese will improve marginally. However, the inventory pressure is still large, and the supply - demand pattern is still relatively loose. Recently, the South African tariff policy has caused disturbances, which may increase the cost of manganese ore in the future. Attention should be paid to the cost support of manganese ore and inventory changes [3] - Silicon Iron: The fundamental contradictions of silicon iron are controllable. Enterprises have actively reduced production loads. Considering the resumption of production of steel mills, the demand for silicon iron is expected to improve marginally. The overall over - capacity of silicon iron suppresses the price increase. Attention should be paid to the subsequent inventory reduction of silicon iron and the power price policy in production areas [3] - **Strategy** - Silicon Manganese: Fluctuating [4] - Silicon Iron: Fluctuating [4]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Buy (★★★)**: None - **Hold (★★☆)**: None - **Weak Buy (★☆☆)**: Soybean, Soybean Meal, Egg - **Neutral (White Star)**: None - **Weak Sell (★☆☆)**: Live Pig - **Sell (★★☆)**: None - **Strong Sell (★★★)**: None [1] Core Views - The recent price movements of agricultural products, including soybeans, soybean oil, and palm oil, have been influenced by macro factors, such as the high - volatility and price correction of gold and silver, and the market's evaluation of the policy orientation of the Fed Chair nominated by Trump. Short - term attention should be paid to the macro - market guidance [2][4]. - The overall market was weak today due to the limit - down of metals such as gold, silver, and copper. Different agricultural products face different supply - demand situations, which affect their price trends. For example, Brazilian soybean production is expected to reach a record high, while the harvest progress is in the early stage. The supply of domestic cuisine is expected to become looser, and the demand outlook is neutral [3][6]. - The prices of different agricultural products are expected to have different trends in the short - term. Some may continue to be in a bottom - shock and weak pattern, while others may face price rebounds or declines in the future. For instance, short - term Dalian corn futures are expected to be in a weak shock pattern, and the price of live pigs may have a second bottom - seeking in the medium - to - long - term [7][8]. Summary by Related Catalogs Soybean - The recent rise in domestic soybeans has been driven by macro factors. As the macro - risk premium is given back, soybeans have quickly adjusted following the overall commodity atmosphere. Short - term attention should be paid to macro - market guidance [2]. Soybean & Soybean Meal - The overall market was weak today due to the limit - down of metals. As of January 24, the Brazilian soybean harvest progress was 6.6%, higher than the previous week and the same period last year. Argentina is facing a high - temperature and dry situation, but rain is expected in February, which may put pressure on US soybeans. The domestic soybean crushing volume in February is expected to be about 5.2 million tons, a decrease both year - on - year and month - on - month. The short - term US soybeans and domestic soybean meal are expected to continue the bottom - shock and weak pattern [3]. Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - The recent rise in oils has been driven by macro factors. As the macro - risk premium is given back, soybean oil and palm oil have quickly adjusted following the overall commodity atmosphere. Short - term attention should be paid to macro - market guidance [4]. Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - The import of Australian rapeseed for crushing is 1 - 2 months later than expected. The crushing of Australian rapeseed from February to April will ease the tight supply of domestic rapeseed products, putting pressure on the recent futures prices of rapeseed products. The resumption of Sino - Canadian rapeseed and rapeseed meal trade is also expected. With the approaching Spring Festival, the remaining space for stocking demand is limited, and the demand outlook for rapeseed products is expected to be neutral. The futures prices of rapeseed products are expected to fluctuate in the bottom range [6]. Corn - The overall market was weak today due to the limit - down of metals, and the main corn 02603 contract fell 0.7%. The national grain sales progress is close to 60%, and the spot prices of corn in the north and at the northern ports are both declining. The Spring Festival stocking of downstream enterprises is basically over, and the trading is dull approaching the Spring Festival. The number of remaining vehicles at corn deep - processing enterprises in the morning on weekends and Monday was 316, 355, and 523 respectively, remaining stable at a low level. Short - term Dalian corn futures are expected to be in a weak shock pattern [7]. Live Pig - At the beginning of the month, the slaughter volume of breeding enterprises decreased, and the spot price of live pigs was adjusted strongly. The futures side was weak in shock, and some contracts continued to hit new lows. As the Spring Festival approaches, the industry will face accelerated slaughter before the Spring Festival. It is believed that the rebound highs of live pig futures and spot prices have been reached, and in the medium - to - long - term, there is a possibility of a second bottom - seeking for pig prices, and it is expected that there will still be a low point in pig prices in the first half of next year [8]. Egg - The high - point of the pre - Spring Festival spot price of eggs driven by stocking demand has been reached, and the recent spot price of eggs has started to weaken, and it is also expected to be relatively weak during the post - Spring Festival consumption off - season. Since January, the spot price of eggs has increased significantly, which has promoted the repair of the industry's breeding profit and the repair of the replenishment sentiment. The chick - replenishment volume in January showed a significant month - on - month improvement but a slight year - on - year decline. There is still upward - repair momentum for egg prices in the first half of 2026, mainly due to the continuous decline in the in - production inventory in the first half of 2026 caused by the low replenishment volume in the second half of 2025. The futures market has already reflected the expectation of the short - term weakness of the spot market in advance, and the subsequent trading strategy is to wait for the spot low point around the Spring Festival and then allocate long positions in the egg futures contracts in the first half of 2026 [9].
