After the festival, the resumption of production is restricted, the fundamentals may remain healthy, the spot price is expected to oscillate, and the futures price will oscillate widely [11] - Glass: Supply has disturbance expectations, mid - and downstream inventories are moderately high, supply exceeds demand, and high inventories will suppress prices if there is no more cold repair by the end of the year [12] - Soda ash: The overall supply exceeds demand. In the short term, it is expected to oscillate, and in the long term, the supply - surplus pattern will intensify, and the price center will decline [12] - Manganese silicon: The market has strong supply and weak demand, the upstream de - stocking pressure increases, and the futures price is expected to oscillate around the cost [14] - Ferrosilicon: The market has weak supply and demand, the fundamentals have limited contradictions, the trading activity is low around the Spring Festival, and the futures price is expected to run at a low level around the cost [16] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - Iron ore: The inventory pressure continues to increase, the supply side has weather disturbance expectations, the current market's post - festival demand expectation is average, the futures price is under pressure, but after the rapid decline, the pressure is released. Attention should be paid to market sentiment changes. The global shipping volume has declined slightly this period, mainly due to the impact of tropical cyclones in Australia. If there are no other sudden disturbances, the supply side will maintain a relatively loose pattern. The demand side has stable rigid demand, and the support for prices may weaken as restocking progresses [2][7][8] - Scrap steel: Supply and daily consumption are expected to decline seasonally. As restocking nears the end, the overall fundamentals will weaken marginally, and the spot price is expected to follow the finished products. The average arrival volume this week has decreased significantly, and the daily consumption has also decreased. The inventory of steel enterprises has increased, and the total inventory available days are close to the same period last year [2][9] 3.2 Carbon Element - Coke: Supply growth is limited, downstream steel mills have复产 expectations, the supply - demand structure will remain healthy, the spot price is expected to remain stable, and the futures price will follow coking coal. After the first round of price increases, the coking profit has improved significantly, and the overall coke supply has increased. The demand side has a strong rigid demand for coke, and the inventory of steel mills has increased, but the available days are lower than the same period [2][10] - Coking coal: Before the Spring Festival, supply and demand are expected to decline. After the festival, the resumption of production of coal mines is still restricted, the fundamentals may remain healthy, the spot price is expected to oscillate, and the futures price will oscillate widely. As the Spring Festival approaches, the supply of domestic coal mines will decline, and the import of Mongolian coal is still at a high level. The inventory of coking coal is transferring from upstream mines to downstream [2][11] 3.3 Alloys - Manganese silicon: The market has strong supply and weak demand, the upstream de - stocking pressure increases, and the futures price is expected to oscillate around the cost. The upstream inventory is high, the cost price is firm, the demand side's support for prices weakens, and the market inventory may further accumulate [3][14] - Ferrosilicon: The market has weak supply and demand, the fundamentals have limited contradictions, the trading activity is low around the Spring Festival, and the futures price is expected to run at a low level around the cost. The cost side has strengthened support, the demand side's support for prices weakens, and the daily production level of ferrosilicon continues to be low [3][16] 3.4 Glass and Soda Ash - Glass: Supply has disturbance expectations, mid - and downstream inventories are moderately high, supply exceeds demand, and high inventories will suppress prices if there is no more cold repair by the end of the year. The short - term price is expected to oscillate. The supply side is difficult to have a large number of cold repairs in the short term, and the demand side is weak, and the mid - level inventory suppresses the futures price [3][12] - Soda ash: The overall supply exceeds demand. In the short term, it is expected to oscillate, and in the long term, the supply - surplus pattern will intensify, and the price center will decline. The supply side's daily output has increased, the demand side's demand for heavy soda ash is weakening, and the overall downstream demand is showing a downward trend [3][12]

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating in the given content. Core Viewpoints - The black series is currently in a bottom - game stage with a mix of long and short factors. In the short term, it is likely to continue the weak and volatile pattern in the range, and the trend opportunity is not clear. Attention should be paid to inventory inflection points around the Spring Festival, the recovery intensity of plate demand, and marginal changes in "dual - carbon" related policies [3]. - For iron ore, it is expected to fluctuate weakly before the Spring Festival. Future focus should be on overseas ore shipping and domestic hot - metal production rhythm [5]. - For manganese silicon and ferrosilicon, in the long - term, it is believed that the commodity bulls will continue, but in the short term, the sharp adjustment of precious metals may suppress the market atmosphere. Future market drivers may come from the overall black market sentiment, cost - push from manganese ore for manganese silicon, and supply contraction (or contraction expectations) for ferrosilicon due to losses or "dual - carbon" policies [9][10]. - For coking coal and coke, although it is thought that coking coal may have a smooth upward trend in 2026, in the short term, the upward catalyst is not strong, and there may be a risk of price correction after the Spring Festival [15][17]. - For industrial silicon, it is expected to fluctuate weakly before the Spring Festival, with supply and demand both weak in February, and the upward driving force is insufficient [21]. - For polysilicon, the supply continues to decrease, the supply - demand relationship marginally improves, and the high inventory in the silicon material link is expected to be slightly reduced. The futures market is expected to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the demand feedback and spot prices after the Spring Festival [23]. - For glass, it is expected to continue the volatile consolidation trend in the short term, with the reference range of the main contract being 1030 - 1120 yuan/ton [26]. - For soda ash, it is expected to continue the weak operation, with the reference range of the main contract being 1140 - 1230 yuan/ton [28]. Summary by Categories Steel Products Market Quotes - The closing price of the rebar main contract in the afternoon was 3054 yuan/ton, up 2 yuan/ton (0.065%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts on the day were 16,903 tons, a net increase of 1,193 tons. The open interest of the main contract was 2.0637 million lots, a net decrease of 1,877 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated price of rebar in Tianjin was 3150 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the aggregated price in Shanghai was 3220 yuan/ton, also unchanged [2]. - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3228 yuan/ton, up 8 yuan/ton (0.248%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts on the day were 276,419 tons, a net increase of 23,219 tons. The open interest of the main contract was 1.5524 million lots, a net increase of 9,529 lots. In the spot market, the aggregated price of hot - rolled coils in Lecong was 3250 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day; the aggregated price in Shanghai was 3240 yuan/ton, also unchanged [2]. Strategy Viewpoints - The sentiment in the commodity market has recovered, but the prices of finished steel products have continued to be weak. In the short term, the new carbon - trading policy has limited direct impact on the steel supply - demand pattern, but it helps to raise the cost center and restrict the downward space of steel prices. Near the Spring Festival, the supply and demand of rebar have both declined seasonally, and the inventory has entered the accumulation stage, but the overall inventory - accumulation rhythm is still controllable; the demand for hot - rolled coils is relatively stable, the output has decreased slightly, and the inventory has also increased slightly, with the supply - demand structure being generally neutral [3]. Iron Ore Market Quotes - The main contract of iron ore (I2605) closed at 762.50 yuan/ton, with a change of +0.13% (+1.00). The open interest changed by - 6983 lots to 507,000 lots. The weighted open interest of iron ore was 867,900 lots. The PB powder at Qingdao Port was 767 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 51.70 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 6.35% [4]. Strategy Viewpoints - On the supply side, the overseas iron ore shipping volume has declined significantly in the latest period. The shipping volume from Australia has decreased sharply due to cyclones, and the shipping volume from Brazil has decreased slightly. The shipping volume from non - mainstream countries has remained basically stable, and the near - end arrival volume has decreased month - on - month. On the demand side, the average daily hot - metal output in the latest period was 228.58 tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.6 tons, lower than expected. The port inventory has continued to increase and is at the highest level in the same period in the past five years, which exerts pressure on the absolute price. It is expected that the iron ore price will fluctuate weakly before the Spring Festival, and future focus should be on overseas ore shipping and domestic hot - metal production rhythm [5]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Market Quotes - On February 11, the main contract of manganese silicon (SM605) closed up 0.10% at 5824 yuan/ton. In the spot market, the price of 6517 manganese silicon in Tianjin was 5720 yuan/ton, equivalent to 5910 yuan/ton on the futures surface, unchanged from the previous day, with a premium of 86 yuan/ton over the futures price. The main contract of ferrosilicon (SF605) closed down 0.07% at 5574 yuan/ton. In the spot market, the price of 72 ferrosilicon in Tianjin was 5700 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, with a premium of 124 yuan/ton over the futures price [8]. Strategy Viewpoints - In the long - term, it is believed that the commodity bulls will continue, but in the short term, the sharp adjustment of precious metals may suppress the market atmosphere. The supply - demand pattern of manganese silicon is still not ideal, but these factors may have been priced in. The supply - demand structure of ferrosilicon is basically balanced, and there is marginal improvement. Future market drivers may come from the overall black market sentiment, cost - push from manganese ore for manganese silicon, and supply contraction (or contraction expectations) for ferrosilicon due to losses or "dual - carbon" policies [9][10]. Coking Coal and Coke Market Quotes - On February 11, the main contract of coking coal (JM2605) closed up 0.40% at 1123.5 yuan/ton. In the spot market, the price of low - sulfur coking coal in Shanxi was 1550.6 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, and the spot price converted to the futures delivery price was 1360 yuan/ton, with a premium of 236.5 yuan/ton over the futures price; the price of medium - sulfur coking coal in Shanxi was 1270 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 10 yuan/ton, and the spot price converted to the futures delivery price was 1253.0 yuan/ton, with a premium of 129.5 yuan/ton over the futures price; the price of Mongolian 5 cleaned coal in Wubulangjinquan Industrial Park was 1227 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, and the spot price converted to the futures delivery price was 1202 yuan/ton, with a premium of 78.5 yuan/ton over the futures price.

In the spot market, the price of quasi - first - grade wet - quenched coke at Rizhao Port was 1470 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, and the spot price converted to the futures delivery price was 1725.5 yuan/ton, with a premium of 58.5 yuan/ton over the futures price; the price of quasi - first - grade dry - quenched coke in Lvliang was 1550 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, and the spot price converted to the futures delivery price was 1766 yuan/ton, with a premium of 99 yuan/ton over the futures price [12]. Strategy Viewpoints - Overseas coal - related disturbances have been frequent recently, and the sentiment is bullish, but it has no direct and substantial impact on the domestic coking coal market. The price of coking coal has fluctuated significantly due to the sharp rise and fall of precious metals. In the short term, the upward catalyst for coking coal prices is not strong, and there may be a risk of price correction after the Spring Festival. However, coking coal may have a smooth upward trend in 2026, especially during the period from June to October [15][17]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market Quotes - For industrial silicon, the closing price of the main contract (SI2605) was 8370 yuan/ton, with a change of - 0.06% (- 5).

The basis of the main contract was 4470 yuan/ton [22]. Strategy Viewpoints - For industrial silicon, the supply and demand are both weak in February. The supply may shrink significantly, and the demand is also weak. It is expected to fluctuate weakly before the Spring Festival, and the upward driving force is insufficient [21]. - For polysilicon, the supply continues to decrease, the supply - demand relationship marginally improves, and the high inventory in the silicon material link is expected to be slightly reduced. The futures market is expected to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the demand feedback and spot prices after the Spring Festival [23].

It is expected to continue the volatile consolidation trend in the short term, with the reference range of the main contract being 1030 - 1120 yuan/ton [26]. - For soda ash, the demand for heavy soda ash is still weak, and the daily melting volumes of float glass and photovoltaic glass are at a low level. The market is in a weak and stable volatile state, and it is expected to continue the weak operation, with the reference range of the main contract being 1140 - 1230 yuan/ton [28].

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese securities market showed significant vitality in 2025, with technology and resources as key themes. The market is expected to maintain its active performance in 2026, supported by ongoing industrial transformation, favorable top-level policies, and a downward trend in interest rates leading to increased market participation from residents [1][10]. Group 1: Investment Strategy - The manager believes that the earnings effect in the equity market will remain substantial in 2026 due to three supporting forces: ongoing industrial transformation, supportive policies for the capital market, and the unchanged logic of residents' deposits entering the market [1][10]. - After a notable rise in 2025, some industries and stocks have completed valuation recovery, indicating a need to lower return expectations and focus more on safety margins.

Group 2: Stock Investment Focus - The focus will be on hard technology, cyclical industries, globally competitive manufacturing, and the silver economy. The manager emphasizes the importance of identifying companies with high technological barriers, good competitive landscapes, and significant growth potential that are relatively under the market's radar [4][13]. - Some cyclical industries may have reached a turning point in supply-demand dynamics, particularly those with high global market share and domestic concentration, such as chemicals, non-ferrous metals, and coal, which are expected to see performance and valuation reversals in 2026 [4][13]. Group 3: Bond Investment Strategy - For convertible bonds, the current valuations may be at an inconvenient level, with some high-priced, high-premium targets potentially facing valuation risks. The strategy will focus on high-volatility balance strategies, seeking targets with significant stock volatility and reasonable convertible bond pricing [14]. - In pure bond investments, the market is expected to remain in a sideways trading phase with limited further volatility. A neutral duration will be maintained to balance coupon income while providing a hedge against equity assets [15].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for methanol in the energy and chemical sector is "oscillating with a bullish bias" [1] Group 2: Core View of the Report - With the Middle - East geopolitical situation prone to fluctuations, crude oil prices are trending strongly. This week, methanol inventories at ports increased slightly, while those in the inland areas decreased. As downstream提货 weakens during the Spring Festival holiday, the fundamentals lack continuous drivers, so the short - term methanol price will oscillate slightly stronger. The reference range for the 05 contract is 2200 - 2300 [1] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalog Market Review - On Wednesday night, the futures price of the main contract 2605 rose 2 yuan to 2243 yuan/ton, and the spot price of methanol in the mainstream East - China region rose 5 yuan to 2215 yuan/ton.

China's INE crude oil futures 2604 contract rose 3.4 to 475.9 yuan/barrel, and rose 3.9 to 479.8 yuan/barrel at night [1] Market Logic - The Middle - East geopolitical situation may fluctuate, and crude oil prices are trending strongly. This week, methanol inventories at ports increased slightly, while those in the inland areas decreased. As downstream提货 weakens during the Spring Festival holiday, the fundamentals lack continuous drivers, so the short - term methanol price will oscillate slightly stronger. The reference range for the 05 contract is 2200 - 2300 [1] Trading Strategy - As the holiday approaches, hold light positions or no positions [1]
