1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Polyolefins - The market is in a strong cost - support, supply - contraction expectation, and weak real - demand game. Prices are expected to maintain high - level wide - range fluctuations. If the geopolitical tension persists, the price is likely to rise, and chemical products may increase more strongly than crude oil. The 05 contract is expected to perform well [1]. PVC and Caustic Soda - For caustic soda, the short - term market rise is due to the optimistic expectation from the geopolitical conflict. The supply is decreasing, and there is a possibility of price increase, but beware of the market decline when the situation eases. For PVC, the cost is rising, the supply is slightly increasing, the demand is improving, and the price has an upward trend in the short term, but also beware of cost collapse [2]. Urea - The urea spot price is relatively stable near the guidance price, and the futures price fluctuates greatly affected by energy - chemical commodities. The fundamentals change little, and the supply pressure remains. The price will follow the trend of crude - chemical products and may be strong in the short term [3]. PX, PTA, MEG, etc. - The Middle - East situation affects the supply of PX, leading to a decline in PTA load. MEG has a high probability of de - stocking in March - April. The prices of polyester products are affected by oil prices and fluctuate greatly. Strategies such as long positions plus put options can be considered [4]. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda ash has a situation of strong supply and weak demand, and the market is expected to fluctuate, with a reference range of 1150 - 1300. Glass has a good de - stocking situation, and the price center has slightly increased. It is recommended to wait and see and consider low - buying after the macro is stable [5]. Crude Oil - In the short term, the oil price maintains the pattern of "policy control + geopolitical support". If the Strait of Hormuz blockade continues for 4 weeks, the supply shortage may intensify, and the oil price may still have strong upward momentum. It is recommended to go long on dips [8]. Pure Benzene and Styrene - The supply of pure benzene is expected to decrease, and the supply - demand situation is expected to improve. The price follows the oil price. For styrene, the supply is high, and the profit is under pressure. Both can consider long positions plus put options strategies [9]. Methanol - The current price is mainly dominated by supply interruption expectations and risk sentiment. The follow - up trend depends on the actual progress of the geopolitical conflict. The 05 - end inventory is expected to be moderately low [10]. LPG - No overall view on LPG is clearly stated in the report. Natural Rubber - The new rubber supply is gradually released, and the raw material price is strong. The demand has uncertainties. The price is expected to fluctuate in the range of 16500 - 17500 [12]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information regarding the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Copper**: The prolonged Middle - East conflict intensifies concerns about inflation and economic slowdown, suppressing the sentiment in the overseas equity market. However, the enhanced attribute of key mineral resources provides support. The TC remains at a low level, the copper mine supply is tight, the downstream operating rate continues to rise, and the scrap copper substitution is limited. The inventory accumulation pressure eases, and the copper price has support in the short term [2][3]. - **Aluminum**: The supply risk in the Middle - East region due to the conflict remains unresolved, and the planned shutdown and maintenance of South32's Mozambique electrolytic aluminum plant are expected to keep the supply tight, especially overseas. The domestic downstream is resuming production, and the increase in the domestic molten aluminum ratio is expected to reduce the inventory accumulation pressure of aluminum ingots, so the aluminum price is expected to remain strong [5][6]. - **Lead**: The lead ore inventory and lead concentrate TC have a slight increase, while the inventory of recycled raw materials declines marginally. The operating rates of smelters have decreased, and the recycled lead smelting is restricted by raw materials. The finished - product inventory of battery dealers is higher than in previous years, and the downstream battery enterprises' operating rate has not fully recovered. Although there is significant inventory accumulation at home and abroad, the lead price is at the lower edge of the shock range, and the narrowing smelting profit may reduce the surplus of lead ingots. The lead price is expected to stop falling and stabilize in the short term and gradually rebound as the supply narrows [8][9]. - **Zinc**: The domestic TC of zinc concentrate has a slight increase, and the smelting profit has slightly improved. The finished - product inventory of smelting enterprises and the social inventory of zinc ingots have both increased significantly, and the domestic zinc industry remains weak. The Iran - related conflict has a small real - impact on zinc ore supply, but there are still concerns about trade disruptions and energy price hikes. The sharp rise in oil prices has raised inflation concerns, and the downward adjustment of interest - rate cut expectations has put pressure on non - ferrous metals. The zinc price has a risk of breaking downward and is expected to show wide - range fluctuations during the conflict [10][11]. - **Tin**: Under the background of macro - easing and general price increases in the semiconductor industry, the sentiment of going long on the tin price is strong. However, the supply - demand of tin ingots is marginally loose, and the inventory has been steadily rising recently, so it is not advisable to blindly chase the high price. The intensification of the US - Iran conflict may put pressure on risk assets, and the tin price is expected to operate in a wide - range shock. It is recommended to wait and see [12][13]. - **Nickel**: In the medium term, the implementation of Indonesia's RKAB quota reduction policy and the steady increase in nickel ore prices support the upward movement of the nickel price center. In the short term, the supply - demand contradiction in the spot market is limited, and the Middle - East geopolitical conflict has reduced market risk appetite. The price is expected to fluctuate. It is recommended to sell high and buy low [14][15]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The intensification of the Iran situation has increased macro - concerns and significantly cooled the speculative sentiment. The commodity market is divided, with oil and chemical products rising and lithium carbonate and other previously rebounding varieties correcting. The total position of Guangzhou Futures Exchange's lithium carbonate contracts decreased last week. The repeated disturbances of Zimbabwe's mineral ban have been fully digested. After the festival, the salt factory's operating rate has increased, and the inventory reduction of domestic lithium carbonate has narrowed. The spot market is in a tight supply situation during the peak lithium - battery season. The decline in the lithium price may release spot buying, but it is necessary to be cautious about being bullish before the downward trend ends. Future attention should be paid to the downstream stocking rhythm, changes in the spot market premium and discount, and the atmosphere of the commodity market [17][18]. - **Alumina**: The increase in maintenance and the delay in production start - up have reduced the inventory accumulation amplitude. The supply of the ore end remains in surplus, and the high - level of warehouse receipt registration due to the premium on the futures market suppresses the upward movement of the futures price. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term, and the futures price may maintain wide - range fluctuations. Attention should be paid to potential driving factors such as the production reduction actions of Guinea's mines or the price - support actions of the Guinea government, and the implementation of supply - contraction policies at the smelting end [20][21]. - **Stainless Steel**: After the festival, the arrival of steel mill resources and the stagnant sales during the Spring Festival have led to a rapid accumulation of social inventory, increasing the supply - side pressure. The market procurement atmosphere has warmed up, and some traders and downstream customers have carried out concentrated inquiries and restocking, promoting a phased increase in trading volume. However, the actual procurement of downstream users is still small, and most are in the preparation stage for resuming work. The overall trading is mainly the resource circulation among traders. The stainless - steel price is expected to maintain an oscillating upward pattern [23][24]. - **Cast Aluminum Alloy**: The cost of cast aluminum alloy has increased. After the festival, the demand is expected to continue to improve with the resumption of production in the downstream. Coupled with supply - side disturbances and the seasonal shortage of raw material supply, the price may strengthen in the short term [26][27]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - During the Spring Festival in 2026, the national construction steel market was generally closed, with the overall price remaining the same as before the festival and regional performance showing differentiation. This year, manufacturers are cautiously optimistic, but there are differences in expectations for the post - holiday market. After the festival, steel prices are expected to have a short "good start" supported by the inertia of steel mills' price increases, low inventory, and cost. However, the recovery rhythm of demand, the resumption progress of steel mills, and inventory digestion will be key variables. Subsequently, the market will likely enter a shock adjustment stage, and the sustainability of the market depends on the actual release intensity of demand, with a short - term shock - upward trend [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Review and Outlook - During the 2026 Spring Festival, the national construction steel market was closed, with prices unchanged from pre - holiday levels and regional differences. Manufacturers have a cautious and optimistic attitude, but there are differences in post - holiday market expectations. After the holiday, steel prices may have a short "good start" due to factors such as steel mills' price increases, low inventory, and cost support. Key variables include demand recovery, steel mill resumption, and inventory digestion. The market will likely enter a shock adjustment stage, and its sustainability depends on actual demand release, with a short - term shock - upward trend [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In February, the supply and demand of polysilicon are both weak, but after the Spring Festival, attention can be paid to the recovery of orders in March and the progress of production capacity regulation. With weak demand, polysilicon production is expected to decrease in February, and the output will be further reduced to 8.2 - 8.5 tons. Although the market is still oversupplied and inventory is accumulating, the inventory accumulation slope has slowed down. The futures price has fallen below the previous support level of 48,000 yuan/ton, and it is expected to find support at 45,000 yuan/ton. In the cooling cycle, it is recommended to wait and see, and pay attention to the later production reduction and the recovery of downstream demand [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Overview - The average spot price of polysilicon has decreased slightly, and the futures price has dropped significantly. The price difference between rod - shaped silicon and granular silicon has widened. In the futures market, it fell rapidly at the beginning of the month under the influence of anti - monopoly news, then fluctuated in the range of 48,000 - 53,000 yuan from mid - January, and dropped significantly at the end of the month due to weak demand and inventory pressure. In the equity market, many photovoltaic industry chain companies had significant pre - losses in their 2025 performance in mid - January, but then rose sharply due to the influence of space photovoltaics and then fell back [7]. 3.2 Supply - In January, the production is expected to be about 100,800 tons, and in February, it is expected to decrease by about 20,000 tons to 80,000 - 85,000 tons. The significant decrease in February's production is related to the production reduction of many enterprises and the decrease in production days. It is expected that the weekly production in February will remain at about 20,000 tons, with a limited decline compared to the previous month [7][24][27]. 3.3 Demand - In January, the demand and production scheduling of the direct downstream silicon wafers increased, but the terminal demand and the production scheduling of battery cells and silicon wafers decreased, with overall weak demand. The silicon wafer production in January is expected to increase by 5% to over 44GW, but the demand is weak and the inventory has increased by 4.1GW to 27.29GW. In February, the demand is expected to remain weak and the silicon wafer production scheduling will also decline [7][39]. 3.4 Inventory - The inventory continues to accumulate. In January, the polysilicon inventory increased by 27,000 tons to 333,000 tons, and the warehouse receipts increased by 4,060 lots to 8,090 lots, equivalent to 24,270 tons [7][89][91]. 3.5 Valuation - The market is still oversupplied, but the excess volume has narrowed, and the futures price is at a discount to the average spot price [7]. 3.6 Trading Strategies - **Unilateral**: Wait and see for now. Downstream enterprises can consider hedging according to the spot transaction situation [4]. - **Arbitrage**: The window for positive inter - month arbitrage is open. One can buy the near - term contract and sell the far - term contract [4]. - **Options**: Wait and see for now. When the volatility is low, one can buy slightly out - of - the - money call options [4]. 3.7 Cost - Profit Analysis - The increase in polysilicon price is beneficial to the profit repair of photovoltaic products, especially polysilicon. In the third quarter of 2025, the production profit of polysilicon turned positive. However, due to the significant decline in downstream demand and no obvious signs of recovery in the first quarter, there is no expectation of continuous profit growth even if the polysilicon price remains high [62]. 3.8 Import - Export - In December 2025, the polysilicon import volume was 0.18 tons, a significant increase of 77% month - on - month and a decrease of 43% year - on - year. The export volume decreased to 0.16 tons, and the net export turned into net import, but the whole year still maintained a net export. The silicon wafer export volume in December 2025 was 0.97 tons, an increase of 49.4% month - on - month and 122.3% year - on - year. The solar cell export volume in December was 1.37 billion, a decrease of 10.9% month - on - month and an increase of 66.9% year - on - year [65][74][78].
