Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The iron ore market shows a short - term rebound but with limited upside. The pressure of high shipments and high inventories is difficult to ease in the short term, and the recovery of iron - water production is delayed. The market is still relatively strong in the short term, and attention should be paid to the pressure near the upper integer mark [2][4] Group 3: Summary by Sections Market行情态势回顾 - Futures prices: The main contract of iron ore futures continued to strengthen, closing at 784.5 yuan/ton, up 12.5 yuan/ton or +1.62% from the previous trading day. The trading volume was 412,000 lots, the open interest was 473,000 lots, and the settled funds were 8.168 billion yuan. The short - term support below has moved up to around 770, and a bullish rebound is expected in the near term [1] - Spot prices: The mainstream port spot varieties, Qingdao Port PB powder rose 13 to 777, Super Special powder rose 13 to 661, and the swap main contract was 103.2 (+1.65) US dollars/ton. Both swaps and spot prices continued to strengthen [1] - Basis and spread: The price of Qingdao Port PB powder converted to the futures price was 809.3 yuan/ton, with a basis of 24.8 yuan/ton, and the basis widened slightly. The 5 - 9 spread of iron ore was 26.5 yuan, and the 9 - 1 spread was 17 yuan [1] Fundamental Analysis - Supply: Iron ore shipments remained at a high level, and arrivals were still low but expected to recover later. However, the impact of weather on the shipment and arrival rhythm needs to be monitored. The total inventory pressure has eased under the background of low arrivals, but there is still pressure to accumulate inventory due to high - level supply [2] - Demand: The iron - water production decreased significantly. The production resumption rhythm was affected by the production restrictions during the Two Sessions, but it is likely to recover seasonally later. The key lies in the support of peak - season demand [2] Macro - level Analysis - Domestic: The 2026 Government Work Report has five highlights, including a slight downward shift in the economic growth target, stable fiscal and monetary policies, expansion of domestic demand as a key task, emphasis on the "dual - carbon" goal, and continuous promotion of the "anti - involution" work. Relevant equity and commodity assets in related fields are worthy of attention [3] - Overseas: Overseas consumer confidence has recovered, industrial orders are differentiated, and geopolitical and institutional risks have increased. The rise in the Middle East situation has pushed up energy and risk - aversion premiums. The overall situation is "growth without stalling, rising policy and geopolitical risks" [3] Viewpoint Summary - In general, the iron ore market has short - term pressure from high shipments and high inventories, and the iron - water production has decreased with a delayed resumption rhythm. With a positive basis and a continued BACK structure, it is still relatively strong in the short term, and attention should be paid to the pressure near the upper integer mark [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The 2026 economic work is focused on improving quality and efficiency, with most risk assets rebounding. Overseas, attention should be paid to the Middle East situation, while domestically, focus on the release of the "15th Five - Year Plan" [1]. - Overseas consumption confidence is recovering, industrial orders are showing a mixed trend, and geopolitical and institutional risks are rising. In the US, consumer confidence is rebounding, and core capital expenditure remains resilient, supporting industrial metals. However, policy discussions and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are increasing risk premiums [1]. - The 2026 Government Work Report has five key points: a slightly lower economic growth target, stable fiscal and monetary policies, expanding domestic demand as a key task, highlighting the "dual - carbon" goal, and continuing the "anti - involution" work. Relevant equity and commodity assets in new and old infrastructure, consumption, and green transformation are worth noting [1]. - In terms of asset allocation, the focus is on structure, and it is necessary to distinguish whether conflicts spill over. If the war does not expand, non - ferrous metals and mid - cap styles have relative advantages; if the conflict expands, risk assets will be under pressure, while precious metals and energy will see an increase in safe - haven premiums. Currently, non - ferrous metals and precious metals are overweight, bonds are neutral with short - term bonds preferred, equities focus on mid - cap styles, iron ore is underweight in the black sector, and the energy and chemical sector should pay attention to the transmission rhythm of oil prices [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Overseas Macroeconomy - In February, US consumer confidence rebounded, indicating consumption resilience and limiting the space for "recession trading." In December, the total factory orders declined, but excluding transportation, they increased. Non - defense capital goods (excluding aircraft) continued to expand, and core capital expenditure remained resilient, which supported industrial metals [1]. - Policy discussions around the Wash nominee are intensifying, and the risk premium is affecting the pricing of the US dollar and interest rates. Coupled with the intensification of the US - Iran situation and Israeli air strikes on Iran, the Middle East situation is heating up, pushing up energy and safe - haven premiums [1]. Domestic Macroeconomy - The 2026 Government Work Report has five key points: a slightly lower economic growth target is in line with the requirement of improving economic quality and efficiency; fiscal and monetary policies are generally stable; expanding domestic demand may be the key task this year, with new and old infrastructure and consumption upgrading as the main focuses; the "dual - carbon" goal remains prominent, and the demand for green transformation - related commodities is broad; the "anti - involution" work will continue, aiming to ensure economic quality improvement and efficiency enhancement [1]. Asset Views - If the war does not expand further and energy production, transportation, and the passage of the strait are not substantially affected, non - ferrous metals and mid - cap styles still have relative advantages. If the conflict expands and affects global risk appetite, risk assets will be under pressure in the short term, equities and industrial metals will face pressure, and the safe - haven premiums of precious metals and energy will further increase [1]. - Currently, non - ferrous metals and precious metals are recommended to be over - allocated, bonds are generally neutral with short - term bonds preferred, equities focus on mid - cap styles, iron ore in the black sector is under - allocated, and the energy and chemical sector should pay attention to the transmission rhythm of oil prices [1].
