1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific investment rating information for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the fourth week of March 2026, the situation between the US and Iran remained tense, with oil prices rising at a high level. The increase in transportation costs began to support the ex - factory prices of upstream material manufacturing industries. The improvement in weather since March led to an increase in demand for investment products driven by major project construction, and the demand for rebar has significantly increased in the past two weeks [3][30]. - In terms of inflation, food prices continued to decline, and pork prices continued to weaken. In terms of exports, the average monthly throughput of port container shipping in March was relatively weak year - on - year. The main shipping demand was basically stable, and freight rates continued to strengthen due to energy costs. In terms of investment, cement prices rose for two consecutive weeks, the apparent demand for rebar continued to recover rapidly, and major projects supported construction demand [3][30]. - In the real estate sector, the end - of - month sprint effect of new home sales was evident, and the weekly transactions of second - hand homes also showed a small year - on - year positive growth. For the bond market, the geopolitical situation continued to cause disturbances, and the transmission of high oil prices to upstream raw material prices began to materialize. The construction performance in March was not weak, and it is expected that the PMI in March will return above the boom - bust line [3][30]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Inflation - related - Food prices continued to decline. The average wholesale price of pork in the country decreased by 1.8% week - on - week, and the average in March decreased by 9.4% month - on - month, with the decline expanding.

On a monthly average basis, in March, they increased by 5.5% and decreased by 3.9% year - on - year, indicating a slowdown in the overall export rhythm in March [10]. - The dry bulk freight index mostly declined. Affected by factors such as oil prices, the freight levels of voyage charter routes in the international dry bulk shipping market decreased [10]. 3.3 Industry - related - Coal prices accelerated their rise. The price of thermal coal (Q5500) at Qinhuangdao Port increased by 3.8% week - on - week, turning from a decline to an increase. National temperatures continued to warm, and the load of residential electricity decreased, but industrial electricity consumption provided support. The supply and consumption of power plants remained balanced overall [15]. - The price of rebar remained the same as last week. The social inventory of rebar decreased by 1.6% week - on - week, with a faster inventory reduction than last week. The apparent demand for rebar increased by 8.4% week - on - week, indicating that construction activities were accelerating, and rebar was gradually entering the consumption peak season [15]. - The asphalt production rate continued to decline. This week, the production rate of asphalt plants decreased by 2.5 percentage points to 19.3%. Geopolitical factors increased the uncertainty of asphalt raw material supply, and asphalt production decreased week - on - week [15]. - The decline in copper prices continued to widen. This week, the average price of copper in the Yangtze River Non - ferrous Metals market decreased by 3.3% week - on - week, with the decline further expanding. Geopolitical conflicts remained unresolved, risk appetite was suppressed, and the strong US dollar continued to suppress copper prices [18]. - The decline in glass futures prices narrowed. This week, the spot trading sentiment weakened slightly. The purchasing enthusiasm of middle and downstream enterprises decreased slightly, and enterprises mainly focused on digesting inventory. The supply - demand pattern of glass was weak, and it is expected that prices will fluctuate in the short term [18]. 3.4 Investment - related - Cement prices continued to rise. This week, the cement price index increased by 0.3% week - on - week, rising for the second consecutive week, but the increase was narrower than last week. The cement shipping rate increased slightly by 2.3 percentage points to 32.9%, but it was still lower than the same period last year [21]. - New home sales increased further, showing an end - of - month sprint effect. As of Friday this week, the transaction area of new homes in 30 cities increased by 12.4% week - on - week and 25% year - on - year. As of March 27th, the transaction area of new homes in 30 cities (7 - day rolling sum) increased by 41.8% year - on - year on a lunar - aligned basis, showing an improvement compared to last week [25]. - Second - hand home sales continued to recover. As of Friday this week, the transaction area of second - hand homes in 17 cities increased by 4.6% week - on - week and decreased by 10.9% year - on - year, with the year - on - year decline slightly expanding.

From last Saturday to this Friday, the average daily subway passenger volume in 25 cities was 3.241 million person - times, a week - on - week decrease of 0.5% and a year - on - year decrease of 4.9%. The travel enthusiasm continued to decline [28]. - International oil prices remained high and rose. As of March 27th, the prices of Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil increased by 0.3% and 1.4% respectively week - on - week compared to last Friday, reaching $112.6 per barrel and $99.6 per barrel.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the third week of March, the uncertainty of the US - Iran situation continued to increase, with crude oil prices oscillating at a high level and rising compared to the previous week. Rising transportation and energy costs supported freight rates and upstream material prices. Terminal demand for products like rebar was steadily recovering seasonally during the "Golden March". In terms of inflation, the decline in pork prices continued to widen, while the decline in food prices slightly narrowed. In terms of exports, export container shipping prices showed a differentiated trend. Although the port container and cargo throughput increased month - on - month, the average monthly value year - on - year was still weaker than that in February. In terms of investment, cement prices stopped falling and rebounded, and downstream construction continued to pick up. In the real estate sector, the average value of new homes in March showed a year - on - year negative growth, while the year - on - year performance of second - hand homes continued to improve compared to the previous week, with the "Little Spring" market being slightly better than the same period [4][29]. - For the bond market, geopolitical disturbances continued, and high - fluctuating oil prices drove up shipping costs and energy product prices. As downstream demand was steadily recovering seasonally, it was necessary to continuously monitor whether the price increase of upstream products would temporarily suppress the release of demand. Overseas, rising shipping costs and geopolitical factors affected some routes, suppressing demand. Although the port throughput increased month - on - month this week, the average value in March was weaker than that in February year - on - year, so attention should be paid to the possibility of export fluctuations in March. Domestically, the resumption rate of construction sites continued to rise this week but was still lower than the same period in the lunar calendar, and the construction intensity was limited. Rebar inventory changed from accumulation to reduction for the first time this year, and the inflection point basically conformed to the seasonality. The "Little Spring" market was mainly reflected in the trading volume of second - hand homes, which continued to increase year - on - year under the high - base situation of last year, while new homes showed a year - on - year negative growth. Attention should be paid to the transmission of volume to price in the future [4][30]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs (1) Inflation - related: Food prices continued to decline - The decline in pork prices widened. This week, the average wholesale price of pork across the country announced by the Ministry of Agriculture decreased by 3.4% month - on - month, and vegetable prices decreased by 2.4% month - on - month. The decline in food prices narrowed, with the 200 - index of agricultural product wholesale prices and the wholesale price index of basket products decreasing by 0.9% and 1.0% month - on - month respectively [9]. (2) Import and export - related: Container shipping prices showed a differentiated trend - Due to changes in supply - demand fundamentals, freight rates showed a differentiated trend. This week, the CCFI index increased by 4.5% month - on - month, while the SCFI decreased by 0.2% month - on - month. The export container shipping market continued to be affected by the tense geopolitical situation. Relevant routes were greatly affected, and the rest of the routes were affected by supply - demand fundamentals and showed a differentiated trend. Among them, the European route transportation was basically stable, and the booking price continued to rise. The demand on the North American route weakened, and the prices of the West and East US routes decreased by about 7 - 8% month - on - month. The Persian Gulf route was most affected by the US - Iran conflict, and the container shipping market basically stagnated [10]. - In terms of port transportation volume, from March 9th to March 15th, the port's container throughput and cargo throughput increased by 9.3% and 9.5% month - on - month respectively, and the single - week year - on - year increase was 11.1% and 2.3% respectively [10]. - Supported by costs, the BDI and CDFI indices continued to rise. The Shanghai Shipping Exchange reported that the geopolitical conflict continued to drive up international fuel prices. Supported by rising costs, the freight rates of voyage charter routes in the international dry bulk shipping market remained at a high level. However, high oil prices had a certain impact on the release of local coal and grain transportation demand [10]. (3) Industry - related: Rebar inventory decreased for the first time this year, and demand continued to improve - The decline in coal prices narrowed. The price of thermal coal (Q5500) at Qinhuangdao Port decreased by 1.0% month - on - month, with a narrowing decline. Currently in the consumption off - season, power plant coal consumption was weak. However, due to the deep inversion of imported coal prices, procurement demand shifted to domestic trade, and cargo volumes were released intensively. In terms of price, coal prices in the main producing areas rose slightly and steadily. Coupled with the rigid demand for restocking by downstream enterprises after resuming work, coal mine sales improved, and the week - on - week average decline in coal prices narrowed [16]. - Rebar prices continued to rise, and inventory changed from accumulation to reduction for the first time this year. The spot price of rebar (HRB400 20mm) increased by 0.3% month - on - month, and the social inventory of rebar decreased by 0.9% month - on - month, entering the inventory reduction phase for the first time since the beginning of the year. The apparent demand for rebar increased by 17.5% month - on - month and continued to improve. This week, the acceleration of downstream resumption of work drove the recovery of demand. The apparent demand for rebar increased significantly, production continued to rise, inventory changed from increase to decrease, and both factory and social inventories decreased slightly [16]. - The asphalt operating rate declined rapidly. This week, the operating rate of asphalt plants decreased by 1.2 percentage points month - on - month to 21.8%, at a relatively low level. Geopolitical factors in Iran led to uncertainty in raw material supply, and asphalt production continued to decline month - on - month. In terms of demand, current terminal project demand was low, and high prices restricted transactions. Asphalt was in a situation of weak supply and demand [16]. - Due to the strengthening of the US dollar and the decline in risk appetite, the decline in copper prices widened. This week, the average price of Yangtze River non - ferrous copper decreased by 2.8% month - on - month, with the decline continuing to widen. The impact of US - Iran geopolitical factors increased, stagflation expectations trading continued. Coupled with the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged at the March interest - rate meeting and a hawkish stance, the US dollar index strengthened, and low risk appetite continued to suppress copper prices [19]. - The glass futures price turned down. Although the energy price at the cost end supported the upstream soda ash price and limited the downward space for the finished product price, the current terminal demand had not substantially improved, and downstream purchasing sentiment was cautious. The spot price remained stable [19]. (4) Investment - related: Cement prices stopped falling and rebounded - Cement prices started to rise. This week, the cement price index increased by 1.6% month - on - month, ending the continuous decline. According to the Centennial Building Network, as of March 18th, the resumption rate of construction sites across the country was 62%, a month - on - month increase of 19.5 percentage points, and a year - on - year decrease of 2.6 percentage points in the lunar calendar; the labor employment rate increased by 17.8 percentage points month - on - month, remaining the same year - on - year in the lunar calendar [23]. - The trading volume of new homes continued to increase. As of Friday this week, the trading area of new homes in 30 cities increased by 12.7% month - on - month and 13% year - on - year, with the year - on - year increase narrowing compared to the previous week. Aligned with the Lunar New Year, as of March 20th, the trading area of new homes in 30 cities (7 - day rolling sum) decreased by 16.3% year - on - year in the lunar calendar, with the decline continuing to widen compared to the previous Friday [24]. - The trading volume of second - hand homes increased rapidly. As of Friday this week, the trading area of second - hand homes in 17 cities increased by 15.1% month - on - month and decreased by 9.7% year - on - year, showing improvement compared to the previous week. Aligned with the Lunar New Year, as of March 20th, the trading volume of second - hand homes (7 - day rolling sum) increased by 5.2% year - on - year, with the increase expanding compared to the previous week. The "Little Spring" market for second - hand homes was better than the same period [24]. (5) Consumption: Oil prices oscillated at a high level - In the first half of March, the retail sales of passenger cars showed a year - on - year negative growth. According to the Passenger Car Association, from March 1st to March 15th, the retail sales of the national passenger car market were 561,000 vehicles, a year - on - year decrease of 21% and a month - on - month increase of 2% compared to the same period in February. The popularity of the car market was gradually recovering [25]. - The average daily subway passenger volume in 25 cities decreased slightly. From last Saturday to this Friday, the average daily subway passenger volume in 25 cities was 3.209 million person - times, a month - on - month decrease of 1.3%. The Baidu Migration Index decreased by 2.6% month - on - month, in line with seasonality. The average value in March increased by 28.1% year - on - year, and travel was still at a high level compared to the same period [25]. - The uncertainty of the US - Iran situation remained high, and international oil prices fluctuated at a high level. As of March 20th, the prices of Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil increased by 8.8% and decreased by 0.5% respectively compared to last Friday, reaching $112.2 per barrel and $98.2 per barrel. Currently, major oil - producing countries were worried about reducing oil supply due to factors such as受阻 overseas shipping capacity, which supported the rise in oil prices [25][28].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the macro - environment is better than that in 2025. Although the recovery of the domestic economy cannot be achieved overnight, both the macro - economy and asset prices are expected to continue the overall upward repair trend [3][44]. - The current macro - economic recovery momentum is weak, mainly due to insufficient domestic effective demand represented by real estate and consumption, and structural over - capacity in multiple industries. Macro - policies need to increase support, and the supply side needs to be cleared [44]. - The PPI year - on - year growth rate is expected to accelerate from negative to positive under the pull of the sharp rise in crude oil prices. The real estate market is at a critical node of stabilizing and recovering, and its subsequent drag on the macro - economy is expected to be significantly narrowed [3][44]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Manufacturing PMI Seasonal Decline - In February, the manufacturing PMI was 49.0%, down 0.3 percentage points from the previous month. Large - scale enterprises' PMI was 51.5%, up 1.2 percentage points; medium and small - scale enterprises' PMIs were 47.5% and 44.8% respectively, down 1.2 and 2.6 percentage points [5]. - Among the five sub - indexes of the manufacturing PMI, the production index, new order index, raw material inventory index, employment index, and supplier delivery time index were all below the critical point, indicating a slowdown in production, a decline in market demand, a slight narrowing of the decline in raw material inventory, a slight decline in employment, and a slowdown in supplier delivery time [6]. - The non - manufacturing business activity index in February was 49.5%, up 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. The construction industry business activity index was 48.2%, down 0.6 percentage points; the service industry business activity index was 49.7%, up 0.2 percentage points. The seasonal decline of the manufacturing PMI in February has limited symbolic meaning [9]. 3.2 CPI and PPI Continued to Improve - In February 2026, the national CPI increased by 1.3% year - on - year and 1.0% month - on - month. The average CPI from January to February increased by 0.8% compared with the same period of the previous year. Food and tobacco prices increased by 1.4% year - on - year, affecting the CPI to rise by about 0.41 percentage points. Other seven major categories of prices showed five increases and two decreases [10][11]. - In February 2026, the national PPI decreased by 0.9% year - on - year, with the decline narrowing by 0.5 percentage points compared with the previous month, and increased by 0.4% month - on - month. The average PPI from January to February decreased by 1.2% compared with the same period of the previous year. In March, the sharp rise in crude oil prices is expected to significantly boost the PPI, and the PPI year - on - year growth rate in 2026 is expected to accelerate from negative to positive [13][15]. 3.3 High Growth in Imports and Exports - From January to February 2026, China's total import and export value was 1.09954 trillion US dollars, a year - on - year increase of 21%. Exports were 656.578 billion US dollars, a year - on - year increase of 21.8%; imports were 442.960 billion US dollars, a year - on - year increase of 19.8%; the trade surplus was 213.618 billion US dollars [16]. - From January to February, China's exports to the United States, the European Union, ASEAN countries, and Japan all maintained steady growth. Exports to the United States were further replaced by exports to ASEAN. The real risk of China's foreign trade lies in the increased risk of a US economic recession and the decline in demand caused by the slowdown of the global economic growth rate [21][23]. 3.4 Weak Resident Credit Demand and Decline in M1 Growth Rate - At the end of February 2026, the stock of social financing scale was 451.4 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 8.2%. The increase in social financing scale in the first two months of 2026 was 9.6 trillion yuan, 316.2 billion yuan more than the same period of the previous year [24][25]. - At the end of February, the balance of broad - money (M2) was 349.22 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 9%, with the growth rate remaining the same as in January. The balance of narrow - money (M1) was 115.93 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 5.9%, with the growth rate rebounding by 1 percentage point. The M1 - M2 gap narrowed to - 3.1%, indicating an increase in the degree of currency activation [27]. 3.5 High Growth in Industrial Production, Weak Social Retail, and Positive Fixed - Asset Investment - From January to February, the added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 6.3% year - on - year in real terms and 0.83% month - on - month in February [29]. - From January to February, the total retail sales of consumer goods were 8.6079 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 2.8%. Affected by the high base of the previous year and the decline in crude oil prices, the consumption of petroleum products, automobiles, and building materials was weak, dragging down the consumption growth rate. There is still much room for domestic consumption recovery, and further consumption - promotion policies may be introduced in 2026 [29]. - From January to February, the national fixed - asset investment (excluding rural households) was 5.2721 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 1.8%. The growth rates of manufacturing investment, infrastructure investment, and real estate development investment all rebounded [32]. 3.6 Continued Decline in Real Estate Sales and Downward Trend in the Real Estate Market - From January to February, the sales area of new commercial housing decreased by 13.5% year - on - year, and the sales amount decreased by 20.2% year - on - year. The real estate market continued to cool down [33][35]. - Real estate new construction, construction, and completion also declined further. At the end of February, the inventory of commercial housing for sale increased slightly. The real estate market is at the bottom stage, and with the decline of the base, the year - on - year decline in sales area and amount is gradually narrowing. If strong policies are introduced, it will be conducive to improving market expectations and accelerating the inflection point of the real estate market [36][41]. 3.7 Summary and Outlook - In January - February 2026, the macro - economy remained stable, but the recovery momentum needed to be strengthened. The manufacturing PMI declined seasonally, imports and exports maintained high growth, price indexes continued to rise, M1 and M2 continued to rebound, and industrial added value maintained a high growth rate. However, the growth rate of social retail was weak, and the real estate market was still in a downward trend [44]. - The current constraints on macro - economic recovery and asset price repair are mainly due to insufficient domestic effective demand and over - capacity in some industries. In March 2026, the PPI year - on - year growth rate is expected to accelerate from negative to positive, and the drag of the real estate market on the macro - economy is expected to be significantly narrowed. The macro - environment in 2026 is better than that in 2025 [44]. - The financial market is currently in a state of "weak reality, strong expectation", and market sentiment continues to improve. Although full of twists and turns, the macro - economy and asset prices in 2026 are expected to continue the upward repair trend. It is necessary to track the implementation details of subsequent policies, observe the upward strength of prices, and patiently wait for the upward signal of the macro - economy [45].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The report anticipates that the interest rate will continue to oscillate within a range and the curve will remain steep. In the short - term, it is advisable to observe inflation changes and focus on short - term investment opportunities with certainty. If the 10Y Treasury bond yield rises more than 5bp from the previous low, it may present an opportunity to participate in medium - and long - term varieties. Caution should be exercised regarding ultra - long - term varieties [2][23][26]. 3. Summary of Each Section According to the Catalog 3.1 Important Event Review - **Inflation Data**: In February 2026, CPI increased by 1.3% year - on - year and PPI decreased by 0.9% year - on - year. Input factors and the Spring Festival effect drove inflation up. It is expected that in March, the year - on - year increase of CPI will remain stable, the month - on - month increase will drop to near 0, the month - on - month increase of PPI will expand further, and the year - on - year growth rate may turn positive [8]. - **Import and Export Data**: From January to February 2026, China's exports increased by 21.8% year - on - year and imports by 19.8% year - on - year, with a trade surplus of $213.6 billion. The Spring Festival holiday timing led to a significant increase in export growth. In March, export growth is expected to decline due to rising oil prices, a high base, and seasonal factors, but the medium - term fundamentals supporting exports are expected to continue [9][10]. 3.2 Capital Price: Central Bank Withdraws Funds From March 6th to March 12th, the central bank net - withdrew nearly 50 billion yuan from the open market. Capital prices rose slightly compared to early March. DR007 rose to 1.47%, DR001 to 1.33%, and the 1Y interbank certificate of deposit yield dropped to 1.55%, mainly affected by the reduction of interbank deposit interest rates [11]. 3.3 Primary Market: The Issuance Scale of Special Bonds Decreases Month - on - Month From March 6th to March 12th, 63 interest - rate bonds were issued in the primary market, with a total issuance of 414.2 billion yuan and negative net financing. The issuance of both national bonds and special bonds decreased. Although the issuance of special bonds slowed in March, it was still faster than in previous years. The supply pressure of government bonds in March is limited [15][17]. 3.4 Secondary Market: The Curve Steepens and Long - Term Interest Rates Are Under Pressure From March 6th to March 12th, short - term Treasury bond yields declined while medium - and long - term Treasury bond yields rose, with a steeper curve. The 10Y Treasury bond yield rose to 1.81%. The weak performance of the bond market was mainly due to the rising inflation data in February and the continuous increase in international oil prices since March, which further boosted inflation expectations. The strong trade data at the beginning of the year also had a negative impact on the bond market [18]. 3.5 Market Outlook - **Fundamentals**: The export and inflation data at the beginning of the year have disrupted the bond market. However, there is no need to be overly pessimistic about the persistence of the disruption, as some data improvements are related to the Spring Festival date change and inflation pressure from the supply side has a relatively limited impact on the bond market. Future attention should be paid to the contribution of the demand side to inflation [2][23]. - **Policy**: The government work report maintains a "more proactive" stance on fiscal policy and a "moderately loose" stance on monetary policy. In the next 1 - 2 months, there is no need to be overly worried about the supply pressure of government bonds. However, early disclosure of the use and scale of policy - based financial instruments may accelerate major project implementation, which is negative for the bond market [23][26]. - **Capital**: The optimization of the interbank deposit structure helps banks relieve interest - margin pressure, reducing the necessity of a full - scale reserve - requirement ratio cut. The central bank still has room to passively inject base money through foreign - exchange purchases, and the capital market is expected to remain moderately loose [26].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the text about the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the fourth week of February, the post - Spring Festival resumption of work was not weak. The construction site resumption rate and labor attendance rate were higher than those in the same lunar period of 2025, likely due to the approaching end - of - quarter month after the Spring Festival [5][30]. - In terms of inflation, food prices declined after the Spring Festival. The 200 - index of agricultural product wholesale prices and the wholesale price index of vegetable basket products decreased by 1.72% and 1.96% respectively [5][10]. - Regarding exports, the freight volume weakened significantly during the holiday week, but the year - on - year figures for January - February were high, and export readings were expected to be good [5][11]. - For investment, the downstream construction site resumption rate was 1 - 2 percentage points higher than the same lunar period. It was expected that the resumption of work would accelerate further by early March, while the demand for investment products such as cement and rebar had not significantly recovered, mainly characterized by accelerated inventory accumulation [5][30]. - In the real estate sector, the post - holiday transactions of new and second - hand houses accelerated. Attention should be paid to the boosting effect of Shanghai's "Seven Measures" on the "Little Spring" market in March [5][30]. - For the bond market, the short - term repair slope of investment resumption and transaction rhythm needed to be closely monitored. The resumption of work was expected to accelerate further by early March, and the "Seven Measures" might lead to a concentrated release of second - hand housing transaction demand. The policy expectations of the Two Sessions were likely to be favorable to the bond market [5][31]. 3. Summary according to the Directory (1) Inflation - related: Food prices fell after the Spring Festival - The average wholesale price of pork in the country decreased by 1.39% compared with the week before the holiday, and the price of vegetables decreased by 2.9% compared with before the holiday. The 200 - index of agricultural product wholesale prices and the wholesale price index of vegetable basket products decreased by 1.72% and 1.96% respectively [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - In the fifth week of January, industrial production remained stable. As the Spring Festival holiday approached, construction sites gradually shut down, leading to weak performance in the volume and price of investment products [33]. - In terms of inflation, the food price index continued to rise, but the increase in pork prices narrowed month - on - month [33]. - In terms of exports, the demand for ocean routes was weak, and the month - on - month decline in market container shipping prices widened [33]. - In terms of investment, the PMI of the construction industry dropped significantly in January, indicating that construction projects were gradually shutting down and workers were returning home for the Spring Festival. The asphalt production started to decline seasonally, and traditional off - season factors had a dominant impact on the volume and price of investment products before the Spring Festival [33]. - In the real estate sector, new home sales remained relatively low year - on - year, second - hand home sales slowed down slightly but remained at a high level. The listing price in January turned positive month - on - month, indicating an early start of the "spring market" with signs of stabilization in both volume and price. Attention should be paid to the rebound slope of trading volume and the sustainability of price recovery after the Spring Festival [33]. - For the bond market, with the data "blank period" in February and the approaching Spring Festival, the suppression of pre - holiday data on bond market sentiment is expected to weaken. The ex - factory price in the PMI continued to rise and returned to the expansion range. The month - on - month recovery of PPI in January is expected to continue. Attention should be paid to the impact of structural price improvement on bond market sentiment. On the other hand, due to the Spring Festival date shift, the year - on - year CPI reading may decline; regulatory authorities advocate weakening the scale of credit issuance, so the "good start" of credit in January may be mediocre; the second - hand home sales have started to slow down seasonally recently, and the impact of real estate fundamental factors is expected to decrease compared with January. The short - term impact of fundamentals on bond market expectations is reduced, and attention should be paid to the entry rhythm of pre - holiday allocation funds [33]. Summary by Directory I.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The short - term investment rating for the glass industry is "short - term shock" [1] Group 2: Core View of the Report - The supply - demand contradiction in the glass market has not been substantially improved. The short - term price may fluctuate, but there is a possibility of weakening in the later stage. Attention should be paid to macro - policy changes and production line cold - repair situations [4] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market行情回顾 - In the futures market, the glass main contract opened high and went low, showing a short - term shock signal. The trading volume increased by 361,000 lots and the open interest increased by 43,145 lots compared with the previous day. The closing price was 1056 yuan/ton, down 21 yuan/ton or 1.95% from the previous settlement price [1] - In the spot market, the situation varied by region. North China was stable, East China had average trading, Central China had some price increases in Hubei, and South China's market center shifted down [1] - The basis in North China was - 36 yuan/ton with a spot price of 1020 yuan/ton [1] Fundamental Data - **Supply**: As of January 29, the weekly total output of float glass was 1.057 million tons, flat month - on - month and - 3.375% year - on - year.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The GDP growth target of 5% in 2025 was successfully achieved, but the growth rate declined quarter - by - quarter. The macro - economic data in December continued to fall, and the recovery momentum remained weak. Consumption, fixed - asset investment, and the real estate market were sluggish, while exports showed resilience and inflation data improved [3]. - A rational and objective view of the current macro - economy is needed. The transformation, adjustment, and bottoming - out of the real estate market require time, and the domestic economic recovery cannot be achieved overnight. More active macro - policies should be implemented to expand domestic demand and optimize supply [4]. - In the future, "expanding domestic demand and combating cut - throat competition" will remain important long - term policy measures. The financial market is in a state of "weak reality, strong expectation", and the market sentiment is continuously improving. In 2026, the macro - economy and asset prices are expected to continue the upward repair trend, but patience is required [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Manufacturing PMI: A Slight Rebound but Still Weak - In December, the manufacturing PMI was 50.1%, up 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, entering the expansion range.

More policy support is needed [40]. - The financial market is in a state of "weak reality, strong expectation". In 2026, the macro - economy and asset prices are expected to continue the upward repair trend, but one should track policy implementation details and wait for positive macro - economic signals [40].
