Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided about the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - The fundamentals of industrial silicon and polysilicon are weak, with both prices falling on January 13, 2026 [1][3]. - Industrial silicon prices are expected to maintain range - bound oscillations, supported by the increase in coal and photovoltaic industry chain prices under the situation of reduced supply and demand. The upside depends on downstream demand recovery and inventory clearance, while the downside is limited by cost and production - cut expectations [3]. - For polysilicon, due to the new policy of canceling export tax rebates for photovoltaic value - added tax and the failure of coordinated price - support efforts, the short - term is to stay on the sidelines, and the medium - to - long - term strategy is to short on rallies [6]. 3.

1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The policy has shifted from anti - involution to anti - monopoly, breaking the strong cost - support logic. The adjustment of the export tax - rebate policy for photovoltaic products is a further negative factor. With strict risk control by the exchange, it is recommended to wait and see. Although the spot price of polysilicon is at a high level, the fundamental performance is weak. The expected production of polysilicon in January is about 100,000 tons, which can meet at least 40GW of terminal demand. The downstream has entered a cycle of production cuts. The sharp rise in silver prices has squeezed the profits of photovoltaic main products, and terminal demand is in the off - season. The expected production of silicon wafers, cells, and components is 46.18GW, 39.06GW, and 31.14GW respectively. The spot inventory of polysilicon in the second week of January was 311,800 tons [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Market Performance - The futures price of polysilicon continued to decline.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Report's Core Views Copper - The medium - long - term fundamentals of copper are good, with capital expenditure constraints on the supply side supporting a gradual upward shift of the bottom center. Short - term price strength is due to the risk of structural imbalance in global inventories and supply concerns from the Venezuela event. However, real - end demand is weak at high prices [2]. Zinc - In the context of geopolitical tensions, the non - ferrous metal sector moves upward in resonance. The zinc price is supported by tight ore supply but may face pressure from imported ore supply and weak demand. Short - term price is expected to fluctuate, with support around 23800 yuan/ton [5]. Aluminum - The alumina market is in a wide - range shock, with the core contradiction between policy expectations and weak fundamentals. The aluminum price is driven by macro and policy expectations but faces pressure from supply growth and weak demand. Short - term price is expected to be high - level and widely volatile [7]. Tin - The supply of tin may increase with the potential resumption of mines in Myanmar, while demand shows regional differences. Short - term price is volatile, and it is recommended to hold previously bought call options [8]. Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon is expected to maintain a pattern of weak supply and demand in January. The price is expected to be low - level and volatile, with the main range between 8000 - 9000 yuan/ton [11]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon spot prices are stable, while futures prices are falling. The market will continue to accumulate inventory in January. The price may be supported at 48000 - 50000 yuan/ton, and it is recommended to wait and see [13]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy market fluctuates at a high level. Cost is the main driving factor, but the market shows a pattern of weak supply and demand. Short - term price is expected to fluctuate in a high - level range [14]. Lithium - Lithium carbonate futures are rising. The supply side has a slight increase expectation, and downstream demand has some resilience. The market sentiment is strong, but short - term liquidity and regulatory risks should be noted [16]. Nickel - The nickel market is in a wide - range shock. The attitude of Indonesia on nickel ore quotas and geopolitical factors affect the market. Short - term price is expected to be strongly volatile [18]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market is in a narrow - range shock. It is affected by raw material prices, with cost support and weak demand in the off - season. Short - term price is expected to adjust in a shock pattern [20]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The stock index futures market adjusted on Tuesday after the regulatory authorities cooled down the market on Monday night. The short - term index may continue to oscillate and adjust. Investors are advised to focus on the structure rather than the index, wait for the volatility to decrease, and be aware of the possible disturbances from the annual report performance forecasts of listed companies near the end of January [5]. - Due to the further escalation of geopolitical situations, the safe - haven sentiment has risen. The macro funds may increase their allocation of long - term bonds for risk hedging. At present, when the valuation of long - term bonds is at a low level, it is not advisable to short. It is recommended to lightly try to go long on TL2603 in treasury bond futures [9]. - The precious metals sector showed obvious differentiation in the Asian market today. Silver continued to be strong, mainly driven by macro - level changes such as international geopolitical tensions and the challenge to the Fed's independence. In the short - term, it is difficult for the Powell case to have a major negative impact on gold and silver. Micro - level factors such as tight silver inventory also support the silver price [11][12]. - The shipping companies have lowered the spot freight rates, and the bullish sentiment in the container shipping index market has ebbed. The spot freight rate may reach an inflection point at the end of January if the cargo volume growth before the Spring Festival falls short of expectations. Spot enterprises are recommended to continue with hedging, and positive arbitrage opportunities between EC2604 and EC2608 contracts can be focused on [14]. 3.
