1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The short - term trend of Shanghai Silver futures is high - volatility shock, with a mid - term bullish view. Do not blindly chase high prices. In the short term, operate with high - selling and low - buying and light positions with stop - loss. In the mid - term, due to the continuous supply - demand gap, the recovery of industrial demand, and the expected decline in real interest rates, gradually lay out long positions while strictly controlling positions and leverage risks [2][3][4] 3. Summary by Relevant Content Categories 3.1 Hot Focus - Shanghai Silver futures prices are rising. In the short term, it will follow London Silver to fluctuate widely in the range of $70 - 100 per ounce, with the core support for domestic prices at 19,000 yuan per kilogram and the strong pressure area at 25,000 yuan per kilogram. The mid - term logic is bullish, mainly due to factors such as the supply - demand gap, the recovery of industrial demand, and the expected decline in real interest rates [2][3][4] 3.2 Trading Reference | Variety | Code | Expected Range | Trend | Attention Direction | 7 - day ATR | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Coking Coal | JM2605 | 1071 - 1102 | Oscillating bearish | Look short on rallies | 31 | | Iron Ore | I2605 | 746 - 758 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 12 | | Glass | FG605 | 1051 - 1073 | Oscillating | High - selling and low - buying | 22 | | Soda Ash | SA605 | 1187 - 1210 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 23 | | CSI 1000 | IM2603 | 8478 - 8620 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 142 | | SSE 50 | IF2603 | 4696 - 4752 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 56 | | Shanghai Gold | AU2604 | 1140 - 1165 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 25 | | Shanghai Silver | AG2604 | 22548 - 24117 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 1569 | | Alumina | AO2605 | 2690 - 2767 | Oscillating bearish | Look short on rallies | 77 | | Caustic Soda | SH605 | 2085 - 2141 | Oscillating bearish | Look short on rallies | 56 | | PTA | TA2605 | 5218 - 5328 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 110 | | Lithium Carbonate | LC2505 | 172580 - 184080 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 11500 | | Pulp | SP2605 | 5226 - 5292 | Oscillating bullish | Look long on dips | 66 | [6] 3.3 Technical Analysis 3.3.1 Stock Index Futures - Today, the Shanghai Composite Index opened lower and moved higher, oscillating upward throughout the day, while the ChiNext Index oscillated at a low level. Technically, the 60 - minute chart maintains the upper edge of the box - shaped oscillation, with a short - cycle downward trend. In operation, buy on dips and be cautious about chasing high prices [9][10] 3.3.2 Gold - Affected by the holiday rise in overseas markets, gold opened sharply higher and oscillated throughout the day, with an overall bullish - oscillating view [15] 3.3.3 Iron Ore - Australia and Brazil's shipments maintain a normal rhythm, and there is still an expectation of a loose supply in the medium - to - long - term due to the mine production capacity release cycle. On the demand side, steel mills resume production after the holiday, but the start of terminal demand still takes time. Technically, the trend remains unchanged, and a bearish view is maintained [17][18] 3.3.4 Glass - The daily melting volume slightly decreased, and during the seasonal off - season, the factory inventory increased again during the holiday. Attention should be paid to the resumption progress of deep - processing enterprises after the holiday. Technically, the recent trend is unclear, and it should be viewed as a wide - range oscillation [21][22] 3.3.5 Methanol - Methanol is difficult to continue to rise sharply after a spike. The core reason is that its supply - demand pattern does not support continuous price hikes. The domestic methanol plant operating rate remains high, and the supply - side pressure has not eased. There is an expectation of inventory accumulation at ports after the holiday, which suppresses prices [24] 3.3.6 Pulp - The trading sentiment in the pulp spot market is average, and the inventory at domestic ports continues to increase. It will take time to digest the port inventory after the holiday. Downstream paper mills are gradually resuming work, and some paper enterprises have issued price increase notices. The local price inversion of offset paper and coated paper is serious, and the futures market has shown an interval - oscillation consolidation trend recently [26]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Gold and silver: Geopolitical risks are the core of precious metals trading this week. It is expected that precious metals may open higher next week. If the geopolitical situation does not further intensify, they may show a pattern of opening high and closing low.

Silver may have short - term upward space due to factors such as inventory depletion and the spill - over effect of funds within the precious metals sector [5]. - Aluminum and alumina: Due to the escalation of the Middle East situation, the overseas supply of electrolytic aluminum may be disrupted, and the supply chain of raw materials such as bauxite and alumina is fragile. Overseas aluminum ingot prices are expected to rise, and the internal - external price difference tends to be positive arbitrage. It is recommended to go long on the profit of aluminum plants, but there are certain risks [83]. - Cast aluminum alloy: The supply and demand are slowly recovering, and the price fluctuates within a range. The scrap - refined price difference has slightly declined, and the market is still relatively light [202][204]. - Platinum and palladium: The risk - aversion sentiment is fermenting, and the volatility is expected to increase.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the Treasury bond futures market, last week, all Treasury bond futures contracts ended higher, but the 30 - year, 10 - year, 5 - year, and 2 - year main contracts ended lower by 1.05%, 0.19%, 0.16%, and 0.06% respectively. The basis of each variety was differentiated. The market risk preference weakened, activating the hedging attribute of Treasury bond futures. The downward trend of Treasury bond futures is not likely to reverse when the long - term bull market logic of the stock market remains unchanged and the coupon income of Treasury bonds is not attractive. Only when the expected return of equity or risk assets declines marginally, the short - term hedging trading attribute of the bond market becomes more obvious. The medium - to - long - term trend strategy is still a relatively good choice for CTA strategies recently [5]. - After the Spring Festival, the domestic commodity market showed mixed trends. Popular varieties continued the high - volatility feature before the festival. Lithium carbonate, silver, and tin were the most significantly rising varieties last week, with an increase of over 10%, while polysilicon and caustic soda fell by over 5%. Overall, there were more rising varieties than falling ones. Among commodity factors, except for the basis and basis momentum factors which had negative returns, other types of commodity factors achieved positive returns in the cross - section. The volume - price trend factors had an average increase of over 1.5%, being the most outstanding factors last week [13][16]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for alumina is "Oscillating" [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The downward trend of ore prices has slowed, and supply disruptions in the alumina market continue. The industry is still in a downward cycle, and while there is no strong basis for a significant price rebound, the downside for spot prices is also limited [1][2][16] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Alumina Industry Chain Weekly Overview - **Raw Materials**: Domestic ore prices remained stable last week. Shanxi 58/5 grade ore had a delivered - tax - included price of 640 yuan, and Henan 58/5 bauxite was at 610 yuan/ton. Due to the Spring Festival, most mines were in a shutdown period, and no substantial transactions occurred in the domestic bauxite market. The average price of Guinean 45/3 ore was 60.5 US dollars/dry ton. Mines and traders intended to stabilize prices. After a slight increase in freight, the FOB price in Guinea fell below the cost of some mines. 5.396 million tons of new ore arrived, including 4.651 million tons from Guinea and 0.745 million tons from Australia. The reference price for Cape ships from Guinea to China was 23.5 US dollars/ton [2][12] - **Alumina**: Alumina spot prices rose slightly last week. The ALD northern comprehensive price was 2610 - 2650 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton from the previous week; the domestic weighted index was 2659.9 yuan/ton, up 28 yuan/ton. The port price of imported alumina was 2950 - 2970 yuan/ton, up 40 yuan/ton. A large - scale northern alumina enterprise had a policy - related shutdown, leading to a quantitative accumulation of tight order execution. Overseas markets were stable, with no news of spot transactions. As of the end of the week, the full cost of domestic alumina was 2586 yuan/ton, and the real - time profit was 77 yuan/ton. In terms of supply, the second - phase roasting furnaces of a large northern alumina enterprise were completely shut down due to policy, and two alumina enterprises in Shanxi were in a phased maintenance state and had not resumed operation. The national alumina production capacity was 114.62 million tons, with 93.5 million tons in operation, a decrease of 200,000 tons from the previous week, and the operating rate was 81.6% [3][13] - **Demand**: Domestically, the new production capacity of the second phase of Huomeihongjun Zhalv reached 960,000 tons, but the commissioning progress was slow. The domestic electrolytic aluminum operating capacity was 44.503 million tons, an increase of 20,000 tons week - on - week. Overseas, the first phase of the Indonesia Xinfa Juwang electrolytic aluminum plant was commissioned, with a current operating capacity of 250,000 tons. The expansion project of the Balco electrolytic aluminum plant under India's Vedanta was slowly being commissioned, with a current operating capacity of about 780,000 tons, an increase of 60,000 tons. The Angolan Huatong Industrial electrolytic aluminum project started on January 15, 2026, with a current operating capacity of 32,000 tons. The latest overseas electrolytic aluminum operating capacity was 300.1 million tons, an increase of 10,000 tons week - on - week [14] - **Inventory**: As of February 26, the national alumina inventory was 5.284 million tons, an increase of 49,000 tons from before the Spring Festival. The inventory change narrowed before and after the Spring Festival. Railway transportation was good during and after the festival, and the volume of some traders' railway transportation increased. The volume on the railway platforms around alumina factories generally increased. Road transportation recovered earlier during the festival. The on - the - way road transportation volume decreased during the festival and then rebounded rapidly. The number of queuing vehicles for pick - up at some alumina factories increased. The static inventory of alumina in electrolytic aluminum enterprises decreased significantly due to supply mismatch, transportation capacity mismatch, and the stable operation of the electrolytic aluminum industry during the Spring Festival. The inventory changes of alumina enterprises showed greater differentiation. The inventory of small and medium - sized alumina enterprises mainly relying on road transportation increased relatively, the inventory of production - reducing enterprises decreased significantly, and the inventory of alumina enterprises mainly relying on railway transportation increased or decreased differently. The inventory in delivery warehouses and ports increased significantly [15] - **Warehouse Receipts**: The registered warehouse receipts of alumina on the Shanghai Futures Exchange were 310,658 tons, an increase of 47,927 tons from the previous week. The alumina futures price was weak. Supply disruptions from large northern factories supported the price. Considering the current supply and demand, the surplus margin was slightly alleviated, and the downward trend of costs was mitigated [16] 3.2 Alumina Theoretical Import Profit Narrowed - **Increased Intention for Spot Premium Trading**: Recently, spot bargaining mainly by trade participants has become more active, including arbitrage spot bargaining between futures - cash traders and alumina enterprises, as well as spot bargaining by industrial traders for short - term procurement to fulfill long - term terminal orders. Overall, buyers are worried about overpaying at a fixed price, while sellers have a stronger intention to sell at a significant premium. Most transactions are settled at a discount to the average price of institutional quotes, and the discount range has narrowed significantly. Currently, both the actual transaction price and the mainstream evaluation price are at a premium compared to institutional quotes. The combination of market - making transactions and sporadic transactions for rigid demand has increased the expectation of price increase [17] - **Obvious Node Characteristics, Spot Prices Oscillating Upward**: Many electrolytic aluminum enterprises said that transportation capacity was basically stable during the festival, and their alumina inventory remained stable or decreased slightly, so there was no need to enter the spot market to stir up market sentiment. Xinjiang aluminum plants will conduct a regular tender for procurement tomorrow (the 25th). According to information from multiple traditional suppliers, the current quotes are cautious and are mainly at a premium compared to institutional quotes [17] 3.3 Key Data Monitoring of the Industry Chain Upstream and Downstream - **Raw Materials and Cost Side**: The report provides charts on domestic bauxite prices, imported bauxite prices, domestic bauxite port inventory, port shipping volume of major bauxite - importing countries, sea - floating inventory of major bauxite - importing countries, domestic caustic soda price trends, domestic thermal coal price trends, and alumina production costs in various provinces [18][20][22] - **Alumina Price and Supply - Demand Balance**: It includes charts on domestic alumina spot prices in various provinces, imported alumina prices, domestic electrolytic aluminum spot prices, the futures price ratio of electrolytic aluminum to alumina on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, and the weekly supply - demand balance of domestic alumina [33][36][43] - **Alumina Inventory and Warehouse Receipts**: There are charts on the alumina inventory of electrolytic aluminum plants, the alumina inventory of alumina plants, domestic alumina yard/platform/on - the - way inventory, alumina port inventory, domestic total social alumina inventory, the warehouse receipt volume and open interest of alumina on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, and the ratio of open interest to warehouse receipts of alumina on the Shanghai Futures Exchange [45][48][54]
