Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The 2026 economic work is focused on improving quality and efficiency, with most risk assets rebounding. Overseas, attention should be paid to the Middle East situation, while domestically, focus on the release of the "15th Five - Year Plan" [1]. - Overseas consumption confidence is recovering, industrial orders are showing a mixed trend, and geopolitical and institutional risks are rising. In the US, consumer confidence is rebounding, and core capital expenditure remains resilient, supporting industrial metals. However, policy discussions and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are increasing risk premiums [1]. - The 2026 Government Work Report has five key points: a slightly lower economic growth target, stable fiscal and monetary policies, expanding domestic demand as a key task, highlighting the "dual - carbon" goal, and continuing the "anti - involution" work. Relevant equity and commodity assets in new and old infrastructure, consumption, and green transformation are worth noting [1]. - In terms of asset allocation, the focus is on structure, and it is necessary to distinguish whether conflicts spill over. If the war does not expand, non - ferrous metals and mid - cap styles have relative advantages; if the conflict expands, risk assets will be under pressure, while precious metals and energy will see an increase in safe - haven premiums. Currently, non - ferrous metals and precious metals are overweight, bonds are neutral with short - term bonds preferred, equities focus on mid - cap styles, iron ore is underweight in the black sector, and the energy and chemical sector should pay attention to the transmission rhythm of oil prices [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Overseas Macroeconomy - In February, US consumer confidence rebounded, indicating consumption resilience and limiting the space for "recession trading." In December, the total factory orders declined, but excluding transportation, they increased. Non - defense capital goods (excluding aircraft) continued to expand, and core capital expenditure remained resilient, which supported industrial metals [1]. - Policy discussions around the Wash nominee are intensifying, and the risk premium is affecting the pricing of the US dollar and interest rates. Coupled with the intensification of the US - Iran situation and Israeli air strikes on Iran, the Middle East situation is heating up, pushing up energy and safe - haven premiums [1]. Domestic Macroeconomy - The 2026 Government Work Report has five key points: a slightly lower economic growth target is in line with the requirement of improving economic quality and efficiency; fiscal and monetary policies are generally stable; expanding domestic demand may be the key task this year, with new and old infrastructure and consumption upgrading as the main focuses; the "dual - carbon" goal remains prominent, and the demand for green transformation - related commodities is broad; the "anti - involution" work will continue, aiming to ensure economic quality improvement and efficiency enhancement [1]. Asset Views - If the war does not expand further and energy production, transportation, and the passage of the strait are not substantially affected, non - ferrous metals and mid - cap styles still have relative advantages. If the conflict expands and affects global risk appetite, risk assets will be under pressure in the short term, equities and industrial metals will face pressure, and the safe - haven premiums of precious metals and energy will further increase [1]. - Currently, non - ferrous metals and precious metals are recommended to be over - allocated, bonds are generally neutral with short - term bonds preferred, equities focus on mid - cap styles, iron ore in the black sector is under - allocated, and the energy and chemical sector should pay attention to the transmission rhythm of oil prices [1].

Group 1: Oil and Geopolitical Risks - The ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East have injected a risk premium into oil prices, with significant supply disruptions occurring, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz and Iraq [2] - The domestic SC crude oil price surged by 9% to 680 RMB per barrel, reflecting a premium of 16.6 USD per barrel over Brent crude, driven by heightened geopolitical risks affecting transportation costs [2] - Until military tensions between the US and Iran ease and shipping routes in the Strait are restored, the geopolitical risk premium is expected to continue supporting oil prices [2] Group 2: Precious Metals and Economic Indicators - Precious metals experienced volatility due to escalating US-Iran tensions, with the US Defense Secretary indicating that the conflict could last for eight weeks or longer [3] - The US reported an increase of 63,000 in ADP employment figures for February, the largest increase since November 2025, and the ISM non-manufacturing PMI reached 56.1, the highest since July 2022 [3] Group 3: Base Metals - Copper prices remained volatile as the market assessed risks from the geopolitical situation, with domestic supply chains being minimally affected [4] - Aluminum prices continued to rise, supported by supply concerns from Qatar and Bahrain due to geopolitical tensions, with significant increases in inventory levels post-Chinese New Year [5] - Zinc fundamentals showed slight improvement, but the market remained cautious, awaiting key domestic policy signals and US employment data [8] Group 4: Industrial Materials - Industrial silicon futures rose above 8,500 RMB per ton, driven by expectations of increased electricity prices and environmental inspections in Xinjiang [13] - The market for polysilicon continued to decline, with expectations of increased production in March but overall sentiment remaining weak due to lack of clear positive signals [14] Group 5: Steel and Iron Ore - Steel prices showed slight increases, with rebar demand recovering post-holiday, but overall inventory levels continued to rise [15] - Iron ore prices increased, supported by high global shipping volumes and a slight recovery in domestic demand, although supply concerns remained prevalent [16] Group 6: Chemical Products - The market for methanol showed signs of retreat, influenced by geopolitical tensions and potential supply disruptions from Iran [24] - The price of urea remained stable, with production expected to increase as agricultural demand rises in March [23] - The ethylene glycol market faced long-term pressure from new production capacities, but short-term dynamics were influenced by geopolitical developments [30] Group 7: Agricultural Products - Domestic soybean meal inventories increased, with expectations of a more relaxed supply situation as Brazil's harvest season approaches [36] - The cotton market experienced slight declines, with overall demand remaining subdued despite expectations of tighter supply [41] - Sugar prices faced pressure from varying production rates in India and Thailand, with domestic production lagging behind expectations [42]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report analyzes various commodities in different sectors, including macro - finance, non - ferrous metals, precious metals and new energy, industrial products, and agricultural products, under the backdrop of the escalating Middle - East situation and other factors. It provides trend judgments and logic viewpoints for each commodity, suggesting corresponding investment strategies [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: Pay attention to the emotional resonance of Asia - Pacific stock markets, especially the market - rescue strategies in South Korea, and the evolution of the Middle - East conflict. If the geopolitical situation eases, the short - term adjustment of the stock index will bring good long - position layout opportunities [1]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has indicated short - term interest rate risks. Pay attention to the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision recently [1]. Non - Ferrous Metals - **Copper**: The deterioration of the Middle - East situation has suppressed market risk appetite, and the continuous accumulation of copper inventories at home and abroad has led to a weak adjustment of copper prices [1]. - **Aluminum**: Although the Middle - East situation has suppressed market risk appetite, the supply disturbance of electrolytic aluminum in the Middle - East has been increasing, and the rising energy prices have increased costs, so aluminum prices have continued to rise. Keep an eye on the supply disturbance in the Middle - East [1]. - **Alumina**: The operating capacity of domestic alumina has decreased, but the inventory has further accumulated, and it will operate in the short - term in a volatile manner [1]. - **Zinc**: The escalation of the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran has raised concerns about zinc ore supply in Iran, which may boost zinc prices in the short term. After the holiday, pay attention to the resumption of work and production of downstream industries [1]. - **Nickel**: Geopolitical risks have increased market risk aversion. The expectation of tightened RKAB quotas for nickel mines in Indonesia has resurfaced, and the approval of RKAB quotas is slow during Ramadan. Nickel ore premiums remain high. The nickel price may fluctuate widely, mainly affected by the resonance of the non - ferrous sector. It is suggested to go long at low prices and control risks [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: Raw material prices have risen after the holiday. Steel mills reduced production in February but plan to increase production significantly in March. Social inventories have increased after the holiday. The stainless - steel futures will fluctuate widely. Pay attention to the demand recovery after the holiday. It is recommended to look for long - position opportunities at low prices and control risks [1]. - **Tin**: The escalation of the Middle - East situation is beneficial to war metals, and tin is expected to continue to strengthen. In the short - term high - volatility situation, it is recommended that investors focus on risk management and profit protection [1]. Precious Metals and New Energy - **Precious Metals (Gold, Silver, Platinum)**: The inflation risk has eased, the conflict between the US and Iran continues, the US dollar index has declined, and precious metal prices have rebounded from the bottom. They are expected to stabilize and fluctuate in the short term [1]. - **Industrial Silicon**: Production in the northwest has increased while that in the southwest has decreased. The production schedules of polysilicon and silicone in December have declined [1]. - **Polysilicon**: It is recommended to take a wait - and - see attitude due to liquidity risks [1]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Energy storage demand is strong, there is battery export rush, and there are disturbances at the mining end [1]. Industrial Products - **Steel Products (Rebar, Hot - Rolled Coil)**: The inventory of rebar is at a low level with weak demand expectations, and the price will fluctuate. The inventory of hot - rolled coil is at a historically high level, and it is necessary to test the de - stocking pressure. The price will fluctuate. After taking profit on the long - basis position, wait for the next entry opportunity [1]. - **Iron Ore**: There is significant upward pressure, and the oversupply logic remains unchanged. Wait for the price to rebound to the pressure level and then enter short - positions [1]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The fermentation of the geopolitical conflict has driven up the prices of energy - chemical products, which in turn has led to the strengthening of coking coal and coke. Although there is news of the first - round price cut for spot goods, the market is focused on the development of the Middle - East situation. Avoid short - positions in energy - related varieties and reduce long - positions in a timely manner. The industry can establish a cash - and - carry arbitrage position in the 05 contract [1]. - **Glass and Soda Ash**: The short - term supply and demand of glass are both weak, the expected reduction in supply has increased, and the cost is supported by the strengthening of energy prices due to the intensified geopolitical conflict. Soda ash mainly follows the trend of glass. In the short term, it is affected by the geopolitical conflict, and in the medium term, the supply - demand situation is looser, and the price is under pressure [1]. Agricultural Products - **Oils and Fats**: The sharp increase in crude oil prices will drive up the prices of oils and fats by increasing the demand expectation from the biodiesel end. However, the current fundamentals of oils and fats are under pressure, such as the high inventory of palm oil in Malaysia, the pressure of the production season and consumption off - season. Be vigilant against the decline of oils and fats after the stagnation of crude oil prices [1]. - **Cotton**: There is a strong expectation of a domestic new - crop harvest, and the purchase price of seed cotton supports the cost of lint. The downstream operating rate remains low, but the inventory of spinning mills is not high, and there is a rigid restocking demand. The cotton market is currently in a situation of "having support but no driving force". In the future, pay attention to the policies in the No. 1 Central Document in the first quarter next year, the intention of cotton - planting area next year, the weather during the planting period, and the demand during the peak seasons [1]. - **Sugar**: The global sugar market is in surplus, and the domestic new - crop supply has increased. There is a strong consensus among short - sellers. If the futures price continues to fall, there will be strong cost support below, but the short - term fundamentals lack continuous driving force. Pay attention to the changes in the capital side [1]. - **Corn**: The progress of grain sales at the grassroots level in the Northeast is relatively fast, and the pressure of ground - stored grain is expected to be limited. The downstream aquaculture inventory has not significantly decreased, which supports the feed demand. After the holiday, the inventories of channels and downstream are low, and the restocking demand supports the futures price to be strong in a volatile manner. However, be vigilant against the negative feedback of high corn prices, such as the release of policy grains like aged rice and the change in import policy orientation. Be cautious when going long unilaterally [1]. - **Soybean Meal**: The Middle - East conflict has brought a risk premium to commodities and increased freight rates. However, under the pressure of the Brazilian harvest, the FOB price of soybeans is under pressure. Under the suppression of the global large supply, the upward space of the soybean meal futures price is limited in the short term. In the later stage, pay attention to the release of Brazilian selling pressure, Sino - US trade dynamics, and domestic reserve release [1]. - **Paper Pulp**: There is no obvious positive news for softwood pulp during the Spring Festival, and the previous positive factors on the supply side have basically faded. It is expected to fluctuate in the range of 5200 - 5400 in the short term. Pay attention to the port inventory after the holiday [1]. - **Logs**: The spot price of logs has risen. The log arrival volume in February has decreased, and the expectation of an increase in the overseas offer price is relatively clear, so the futures price has an upward driving force [1]. - **Hogs**: The spot price has gradually stabilized recently. Supported by demand, the slaughter weight has not been fully cleared, and the production capacity still needs to be further released [1]. Energy Chemical - **Fuel Oil**: The escalation of the Middle - East situation due to the war between the US, Israel and Iran, the concern of oil and gas supply interruption caused by the obstruction of the Strait of Hormuz transportation, and the positive sentiment in the commodity market with the recovery of capital risk - appetite have affected the price [1]. - **Asphalt**: The import of Iranian asphalt has little impact on the domestic market, but the price of crude oil, which affects the cost, is transmitted to asphalt, and the impact in the energy varieties is relatively weak [1]. - **BR Rubber**: The cost end of butadiene has strong support, and the profit of private cis - butadiene rubber plants is still in a loss state, with an increased expectation of maintenance and production reduction. There is an expectation of phased inventory accumulation in the fundamentals of both BD and BR. Affected by the Middle - East geopolitics, the short - term futures price is expected to fluctuate widely, and there is an upward expectation in the long - term [1]. - **PTA**: Asian aromatics have been significantly strengthened by geopolitics, some overseas PTA factories are facing operational pressure due to poor profits, and the supply is expected to tighten from March to May when the major refinery turnaround season comes [1]. - **Ethylene**: Although the situation in Iran is unclear and the crude oil market is tense, the production profit rate of naphtha cracking has declined, and the demand for naphtha is continuously weak. Some large - scale ethylene production facilities are restarting or newly supplying [1]. - **Short - Fiber**: The domestic PTA maintains high - level operation, and the domestic demand has declined. The tense geopolitical situation in the Middle - East brings short - term energy price fluctuation risks, and the short - fiber price will continue to closely follow the cost fluctuations [1]. - **Styrene**: Geopolitical factors have worried the market about refinery load reduction. Although the production economy of factories remains stable, the demand is expected to gradually recover from the end of February [1]. - **Methanol**: The export sentiment has eased, and the domestic demand is insufficient, so the upward space is limited, but there is support from anti - dumping and the cost end. The Iranian import has a significant impact, and the conflict has caused some domestic methanol production facilities to stop work, but the domestic production is at a high level, and the inventory is at a historically high level [1]. - **PVC**: In 2026, there will be less global production capacity put into operation, and the differential electricity price in the Northwest is expected to be implemented, which will force the clearance of PVC production capacity, and the future expectation is optimistic. The intensification of geopolitical conflicts has increased freight rates, and the ethylene - based method is facing a shortage of raw materials [1]. - **LPG**: The 3 - month CP price is flat, and the near - month purchase is still relatively tight. The premium of the Middle - East geopolitical conflict has rebounded, and the PG trend is strong. The overseas cold - wave driving logic is gradually weakening, and the basis is expected to repair and expand. The domestic PDH operating rate has declined, and the profit is expected to seasonally recover, which suppresses the upward movement of the LPG futures price in the short term. The ports are continuously de - stocking, but the domestic civil LPG is sufficient, resulting in the differentiation of the internal and external market trends [1]. Others - **Shipping**: The price increase has generally stabilized, but it is currently affected by the war sentiment and is quite enthusiastic. The Houthi armed forces have regained control of the Red Sea, and airlines are expected to have a strong willingness to stop the price decline and increase prices after the off - season in March [1].

1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - The ongoing Middle - East geopolitical conflict has a significant impact on various commodity markets, injecting risk premiums into the oil market and increasing short - term volatility in the precious metals market.

It is necessary to pay attention to the actual inventory - reduction rhythm and wait for policy and economic data guidance [8]. - **Lead**: High inventory has led to a narrow - range fluctuation of lead prices at a low level. It is necessary to pay attention to the inventory - reduction rhythm after the full resumption of downstream production [9]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: Shanghai nickel has fallen in a volatile manner. The market is mainly driven by policy sentiment. The nickel market lacks an independent driver in the short term and is gradually weakening [10]. - **Tin**: After two consecutive days of sharp declines, tin prices rebounded. The supply side is slowly changing. It is advisable to hold out - of - the - money short - call options [11]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Lithium carbonate is in a weak consolidation state.
