1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Polyolefin Industry - Affected by the escalation of the Middle - East geopolitical situation, international oil prices have strongly risen, boosting the polyolefin market from the cost side. Polyethylene domestic supply remains high, and losses in oil - based and naphtha - based production routes have intensified this week. For polypropylene, planned maintenance in March is relatively high, and the resumption progress of PDH and other devices is slow due to rising raw material prices. Downstream factory开工率 is at a seasonal low. Although the current fundamentals are under pressure, there are still expectations for post - holiday restocking demand. Attention should be paid to the sustainability of cost support and the actual recovery of downstream开工率 [1]. Methanol Industry - The escalation of the Middle - East conflict has led to shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and limited Iranian methanol exports, increasing geopolitical risk premiums. Domestically, the开工 rate remains high, but imports are affected by the conflict, and the arrival volume in March will decline significantly. The demand side is weak, and port olefin demand is poor. Port inventories are at a medium - high historical level, but there are expectations of inventory reduction. The current price is mainly driven by geopolitical sentiment, and attention should be paid to the actual progress of the conflict and the port inventory reduction rhythm [3]. Chlor - alkali and PVC Industry - For caustic soda, the futures fluctuated weakly on the 2nd, and the spot price remained stable. The supply is expected to increase as downstream chlorine - consuming industries resume work, increasing inventory pressure. The demand side has some support for the price. Overall, the domestic caustic soda supply - demand situation is weak, and the market may fluctuate and adjust in the short term. For PVC, the futures fluctuated higher on the 2nd, and the spot price was weakly volatile. The supply remains high, and the demand is normal. The price is affected by cost concerns and macro - sentiment, and the short - term upward sentiment may continue, but the increase is uncertain [7]. Urea Industry - The urea futures fluctuated down on the 2nd. The supply is relatively sufficient in the short term, and the inventory accumulated during the holiday exerts pressure on the price. The agricultural demand is advancing, while the industrial demand is slowly recovering. The price may be in a high - level stalemate in the short term. The main contract is expected to be in the 1800 - 1900 range, and attention should be paid to downstream demand progress and inventory accumulation [8]. LPG Industry - The LPG prices showed an upward trend on March 2nd. The炼厂库容 ratio and port inventory increased. The upstream - main refinery开工率 remained unchanged, and the downstream - PDH开工率 decreased slightly. The market is affected by various factors, and no specific overall view is provided in the report [9]. Natural Rubber Industry - Overseas main production areas are transitioning to reduced production and suspension of tapping, with a shrinking total supply and rising raw material prices. Downstream tire enterprises are gradually resuming work, and the demand is expected to be boosted. The inventory in Qingdao is accumulating. With the strengthening of overseas raw material prices and the resumption of downstream production, and the impact of the tense Middle - East situation on oil prices, the rubber price is expected to rise, and previous long positions can be held. Attention should be paid to changes in the Middle - East situation [13]. Crude Oil Industry - The overnight WTI and Brent crude oil prices rose significantly. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has increased the risk premium of crude oil. If the risk spreads or the Strait of Hormuz is blocked for a long time, oil prices will continue to rise; if the conflict eases, there is a risk of a sharp decline in oil prices. Geopolitical conflicts usually have a pulsed impact on oil prices, and long positions should be held with caution [16]. Pure Benzene and Styrene Industry - For pure benzene, domestic and international devices are operating stably, and the downstream styrene industry's profit has been significantly repaired. However, due to import pressure and high port inventories, the price follows oil prices and downstream styrene fluctuations. For styrene, the industry profit is good, and the factory load has increased. In March, the supply increase is expected to be limited, and the demand is gradually recovering. The price is expected to be boosted by oil prices in the short term. For both, long positions should be reduced at high levels, and attention should be paid to price pressure and oil price trends [17]. Glass and Soda Ash Industry - For soda ash, the supply is in high - level shock, the demand is weak, and the inventory has increased significantly. The price may fluctuate in the short term, and short - selling can be considered around 1200. For glass, the supply is at a low level, the demand is restricted, and the inventory is seasonally increasing. The price may also fluctuate, and short - selling can be considered around 1075. Attention should be paid to post - holiday macro - policies and downstream situations [18]. Polyester Industry - For PX, the supply - demand situation is expected to improve in March, and the price is supported by cost and oil prices. For PTA, the load has increased, but the processing margin has been compressed, and the price follows the cost. For ethylene glycol, the supply will decline in March, and there are expectations of inventory reduction. For short - fiber, the supply - demand is weak, and it follows raw material fluctuations. For bottle - chips, the supply will increase in March, and the processing margin may decline. For all products, long positions should be reduced at high levels, and attention should be paid to oil price trends [19]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - Amid the US-Iran conflict affecting global risk appetite and the strong appreciation of the RMB exchange rate driving foreign capital inflows, it is advisable to focus on the policy signals of the domestic Two Sessions and changes in the war situation. The strategy is to buy on dips [4]. - The economic recovery momentum's sustainability needs to be observed, and domestic demand still awaits the stabilization of residents' income and policy support. The US-Iran geopolitical conflict has intensified, and short - term market risk - aversion sentiment is favorable for the upward movement of the bond market, but the intensity and duration of the conflict need to be further observed. The bond market is expected to continue to fluctuate [8]. - After the US - Israel joint military strike, the Middle East situation has continued to escalate, and the tail - risk has significantly increased. Precious metals are driven by risk - aversion sentiment in the short term. With Trump's statement and the scale of the conflict target, there is great uncertainty about the duration of the Middle East tension, and prices are likely to return to high - level fluctuations. It is advisable to stay on the sidelines in the short term [10]. - In the medium term, the implementation of Indonesia's RKAB quota reduction policy will gradually raise the price center of nickel ore, and nickel prices are expected to slowly rise in a volatile manner. In the short term, the contradiction between spot supply and demand is limited, and inventories continue to increase slightly. It is recommended to buy low and sell high [19]. - In the long - term, the upward trend of commodities is expected to continue, but in the short term, the market may continue the cycle of volatility and volatility reduction, suppressing the overall atmosphere. The black sector remains weak among all commodities and is likely to be short - allocated in the short term [38][44]. - The supply of the float glass market remains stable, while the demand is weak. The industry inventory has risen significantly, and the price is expected to maintain a weak and volatile pattern in the short term. The spot market of soda ash is still full of wait - and - see sentiment, and the market is expected to maintain a narrow - range volatile pattern [40][41]. - The prices of rubber RU and NR are expected to be volatile and strong. It is recommended to trade short - term according to the strong trend of the market, set stop - losses, and enter and exit quickly. For hedging, it is advisable to open new positions or continue to hold positions by buying the NR main contract and shorting RU2609 [55]. - The current oil price has already priced in a high geopolitical premium. In the short term, the supply gap caused by Iran's supply disruption still exists. It is recommended to adopt a mid - term layout strategy but wait for the end of the geopolitical conflict to eliminate tail - risks [57]. - The downward momentum of methanol still exists, but the negative factors are weakening at the margin, so the downward space is limited. The main idea is to buy on dips in the medium - term [59]. - The current situation of the domestic - foreign price difference has opened the import window, and combined with the expected improvement in production at the end of January, the fundamental outlook for urea is bearish, so it is advisable to short - allocate [61]. - After the Saudi refinery closure and the attacks on oil tankers in the Middle East, the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East shows no sign of cooling. The non - integrated profit of styrene is moderately high, and the upward repair space of the valuation is narrowing. It is necessary to wait for the profit to fall to a low level before considering long - positions [63]. - The comprehensive profit of PVC enterprises is at a neutral level, but the supply reduction is small, and the demand is under pressure. The domestic supply - demand situation is weak, and the fundamental situation is poor [65]. - The overall load of ethylene glycol is still high, and the port inventory accumulation pressure is large. There is an expectation of further profit compression and load reduction in the medium - term. In the short term, due to the tense situation in Iran, there is an expectation of significant import shrinkage and inventory reduction. It is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips [68]. - As the expectation of PTA maintenance decreases, it is difficult to enter the inventory - reduction cycle. The processing fee of PTA has fallen back, and there is room for the valuation to rise in the medium - term. It is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips following PX and crude oil [70]. - The PX load remains high, and the overall load of downstream PTA is relatively low, resulting in a short - term inventory accumulation pattern. In March, as PX enters the maintenance season and PTA plants restart unexpectedly, PX will gradually enter the inventory - reduction cycle. It is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips following crude oil in the medium - term [72]. - Due to the continuous geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, the spot price of polyethylene has risen. The downward space for PE valuation still exists, and the pressure on the disk has been reduced. The demand is expected to pick up seasonally, and the overall start - up rate is expected to bottom out and rebound [74]. - The cost of polypropylene is expected to increase moderately in the second quarter, and the supply pressure will be relieved. The downstream start - up rate has rebounded seasonally, and the long - term contradiction has shifted from the cost - dominated downward trend to the production mismatch. It is advisable to buy on dips for the PP5 - 9 spread [76]. - After the Spring Festival, the slaughter scale of pigs is large, and the average trading weight is high, indicating limited inventory clearance. The short - term rebound of the spot price is limited, and it is advisable to maintain a bearish attitude towards the near - term contract. The far - term contract is supported by capacity reduction and seasonal factors, but the upside space is also limited [79]. - The inventory of laying hens is large, but the egg price after the Spring Festival is higher than expected, and the inventory has not significantly accumulated. However, the increase in stocking behaviors may weaken the medium - term upward potential of egg prices, and it is necessary to pay attention to the valuation pressure on the far - term contract [81]. - Due to the market rumor of extended customs clearance for South American soybeans, the soybean meal price has risen significantly. The export sales of US soybeans have improved, and the import cost has increased. The protein meal price may be bottoming out [84]. - Affected by the weekend geopolitical crisis, the short - term rise in crude oil prices has driven up the prices of edible oils. The inventory of vegetable oils in China and India at the end of January has further decreased, but the decline in Malaysia's exports in February has weakened the oil prices. It is advisable to wait for the oil prices to stabilize at a low level and then consider buying [86]. - The decline in India's sugar production in the first half of February and the increase in Thailand's production offset each other. The raw sugar price has fallen to a historical low and is continuously at a discount to the Brazilian ethanol conversion price. There is a possibility of reducing the sugar - cane - to - sugar ratio in the new Brazilian sugar - cane season after April. Domestically, the pressure of increased production has been alleviated, and there may be a rebound. It is advisable to participate in long - positions in small amounts on dips [89]. - After the Spring Festival, the Zhengzhou cotton futures have increased positions and prices significantly, speculating in advance on the peak season in March. It is necessary to focus on the downstream start - up situation in March. If it is favorable, there is still room for the Zhengzhou cotton price to rise. It is advisable to buy on dips [91]. Summary by Directory Stock Index - **Market Information**: The National Large - scale Fund has made its first investment in embodied intelligence, and Galaxy General has completed a new round of financing of 2.5 billion yuan; the European natural gas price has risen by 42%, reaching the largest increase since March 2022, and Qatar Energy Company will stop the production of liquefied natural gas; MiniMax's total revenue in 2025 reached 79.038 million US dollars, with 73% of the revenue coming from the international market, and the gross profit margin increased to 25.4%, exceeding market expectations; Deutsche Telekom has cooperated with Starlink to expand the mobile network coverage [2]. - **Strategy View**: Amid the US - Iran conflict affecting global risk appetite and the strong appreciation of the RMB exchange rate driving foreign capital inflows, it is advisable to focus on the policy signals of the domestic Two Sessions and changes in the war situation. The strategy is to buy on dips [4].

Three Anglo - American oil tankers were attacked in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz; the final value of France's manufacturing PMI in February was 50.1, higher than the expected 49.9; the VIX index rose to 25.24 points on March 2, reaching the highest level since November last year. The central bank conducted 1.9 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations on Monday, with an operating interest rate of 1.40%, resulting in a net investment of 1.9 billion yuan [5]. - **Strategy View**: Due to the Spring Festival misalignment, the year - on - year CPI in January was lower than expected, while the PPI improved both year - on - year and month - on - month. The potential suppression of inflation on the bond market still exists. The financial data in January showed that the endogenous driving force for economic recovery was still unstable, and the credit at the beginning of the year was weak. The US - Iran geopolitical conflict has intensified, and short - term market risk - aversion sentiment is favorable for the upward movement of the bond market, but the intensity and duration of the conflict need to be further observed. The bond market is expected to continue to fluctuate [8]. Precious Metals - **Market Information**: Shanghai gold rose 1.14% to 1,184.90 yuan/gram, and Shanghai silver fell 1.88% to 22,939.00 yuan/kilogram; COMEX gold rose 1.80% to 5,342.30 US dollars/ounce, and COMEX silver fell 3.83% to 89.72 US dollars/ounce; the yield of the 10 - year US Treasury bond was 4.05%, and the US dollar index was 98.55. After the US - Israel joint military strike on Iran, the situation has continued to escalate, increasing the tail - risk in the Middle East. The demand for safe - haven assets has increased, driving up the prices of gold and silver. The US ISM - PMI data in February 2026 was 52.4, higher than market expectations, and the overall was still in the expansion range. The price index has risen significantly, while the employment market is still weak [9]. - **Strategy View**: After the US - Israel joint military strike, the Middle East situation has continued to escalate, and the tail - risk has significantly increased. Precious metals are driven by risk - aversion sentiment in the short term. With Trump's statement and the scale of the conflict target, there is great uncertainty about the duration of the Middle East tension, and prices are likely to return to high - level fluctuations. It is advisable to stay on the sidelines in the short term, with the reference operating range of the Shanghai gold main contract being 1,150 - 1,200 yuan/gram and the Shanghai silver main contract being 22,000 - 25,000 yuan/kilogram [10]. Non - ferrous Metals Copper - **Market Information**: Due to the tense situation in the Middle East, the prices of gold and crude oil have risen, while copper prices have risen and then fallen. The LME 3M copper contract closed down 1.59% to 13,084 US dollars/ton, and the Shanghai copper main contract closed at 102,280 yuan/ton. The LME inventory increased by 3,975 tons to 257,675 tons, and the domestic electrolytic copper social inventory increased by 28,000 tons. The spot discount of copper in the East China region has narrowed, while that in the Guangdong region has widened. The domestic copper spot import loss is about 800 yuan/ton, and the refined - scrap copper price difference has slightly narrowed [12]. - **Strategy View**: Under the influence of the geopolitical situation, although risk appetite has been affected, the key mineral resource attribute of copper has been strengthened, and there is a risk of supply interruption, so copper prices still have strong support. The increase in crude oil prices has reduced the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in the short term. Domestically, with the arrival of the Two Sessions and the release of the "Shanghai Seven - Point Plan" for the real estate market, there is support in terms of sentiment. The TC of the copper industry is running at a low level, and the supply of copper ore is still tight. As the downstream start - up rate further increases, the global copper inventory accumulation is expected to slow down. The reference range for the Shanghai copper main contract today is 101,000 - 104,000 yuan/ton, and the reference range for the LME 3M copper contract is 12,950 - 13,300 US dollars/ton [14]. Aluminum - **Market Information**: The tense situation in the Middle East has increased concerns about supply, driving up aluminum prices. The LME 3M aluminum contract closed up 1.38% to 3,185 US dollars/ton, and the Shanghai aluminum main contract closed at 24,195 yuan/ton. The position of the Shanghai aluminum weighted contract increased by 29,000 tons to 693,000 tons, and the futures warehouse receipts increased by 5,000 tons to 295,000 tons. The social inventory of aluminum ingots increased by more than 70,000 tons compared with last Thursday, and the processing fee of aluminum rods rebounded. The LME inventory decreased by 2,000 tons to 464,000 tons [15]. - **Strategy View**: The domestic aluminum ingot inventory has increased to a high level, but with the resumption of work and production in the downstream, the inventory is expected to peak earlier than in previous years. The US - Israel military action against Iran has increased the risk of aluminum supply in the Middle East, and the electrolytic aluminum plant in Mozambique under South32 is still expected to be shut down for maintenance in March. Coupled with the high spot premium of aluminum in North America and the relatively low LME inventory, aluminum prices are expected to be strong in the short term. The reference range for the Shanghai aluminum main contract today is 24,000 - 24,600 yuan/ton, and the reference range for the LME 3M aluminum contract is 3,140 - 3,240 US dollars/ton [16].

The inventory of zinc ingots in the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 70,700 tons, and the LME zinc ingot inventory was 97,400 tons. The social inventory of zinc ingots in the main domestic markets increased by 31,600 tons to 211,900 tons on March 2 [17]. - **Strategy View**: In the industry, the domestic TC of zinc concentrate has increased slightly, and the smelting profit has improved slightly. 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 actual impact of the conflict in Iran on zinc ore supply is relatively small, but market concerns about trade disruptions and energy price increases may briefly push up zinc prices from the sentiment side [17]. Lead - **Market Information**: On Monday, the Shanghai lead index closed up 0.28% to 16,893 yuan/ton, and the total position of unilateral trading was 112,400 lots. As of 15:00 on Monday, the LME 3S lead price fell 8.5 US dollars to 1,978 US dollars/ton, and the total position was 171,200 lots. The average price of SMM1 lead ingots was 16,575 yuan/ton, and the average price of recycled refined lead was 16,550 yuan/ton. The inventory of lead ingots in the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 54,900 tons, and the LME lead ingot inventory was 286,100 tons. The social inventory of lead ingots in the main domestic markets decreased by 1,900 tons to 67,100 tons on March 2 [18]. - **Strategy View**: In the industry, the lead ore inventory has increased slightly, the TC of lead concentrate has increased slightly, and the inventory of recycled raw materials has decreased marginally. The start - up rate of smelters has declined, and the start -

In terms of refined oil products, refined oil inventories increased by 0.252 million barrels, gasoline inventories decreased by 1.011 million barrels, and heating oil inventories decreased by 0.119 million barrels [3] - **Oil - Producing Country Policies (Medium - to - Long - Term)**: On February 26, OPEC+ held a video conference to review the April production policy. Many representatives expected to resume a "moderate and small - step" production increase rhythm, planning to increase production by about 0.137 million barrels per day from April to balance market supply and demand. The CEO of Occidental Petroleum said that U.S. oil production could remain stable when oil prices were in the range of $60 - $65 per barrel, and oil prices needed to reach $70 to drive industry production increases [3] - **Geopolitics (Short - Term)**: On February 26, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said that the third - round indirect negotiations between Iran and the U.S. had made good progress, and the two sides were close to reaching a consensus in some areas.

OPEC+ continued to suspend production increases in the first quarter, and the long - term supply - demand of crude oil remained in a relatively loose pattern. However, the current warming of the Middle East geopolitical situation is still the main driver of the short - term market, and oil prices are expected to fluctuate widely [3] - **Trading Strategy**: Unilateral: Wait and see; Arbitrage: Wait and see [3] 3.2 Futures Market Data - **Market Review**: The Middle East situation heated up urgently, and the risk premium of international oil prices soared. This week, oil prices fluctuated sharply. Driven by the escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Iran and increased concerns about shipping safety in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices received strong support from geopolitical risk premiums and rose significantly. As of February 27, the closing price of the WTI crude oil main contract was $67.29 per barrel, a weekly increase of $0.98 per barrel (+1.48%); the closing price of the Brent crude oil main contract was $73.21 per barrel, a weekly increase of $1.97 per barrel (+2.77%); the closing price of the SC crude oil main contract was 488.4 yuan per barrel, a weekly increase of 27.7 yuan per barrel (+6.01%) [7] - **Month - to - Month Spread & Domestic - Foreign Spread**: The near - month spread weakened slightly, and the domestic - foreign spread declined slightly. The month - to - month spread of refined oil products remained stable, and the forward curve strengthened significantly. The crack spreads of gasoline and diesel, as well as jet fuel, declined [10][16][23][32][35] 3.3 Crude Oil Supply - Demand Fundamental Data - **Production**: In January 2026, global crude oil production decreased slightly. Non - OPEC countries' production increased. U.S. weekly crude oil production was 13.215 million barrels per day.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical conflicts will drive the strength of precious metals and energy - chemical sectors next week, but the sustainability of the rise depends on the duration and intensity of the US - Iran conflict. Overall, next week, energy and precious metals > chemicals > non - ferrous metals > agricultural products > real - estate - related commodities such as black metals [2][19]. - Geopolitical conflicts are the main line of trading for various commodities. In the short term, the prices of precious metals and crude oil will soar, and rising oil prices will drive up the prices of chemicals such as PTA, styrene, and PE. Methanol will also be supported by geopolitical premiums [2][19]. - Excluding geopolitical factors, there are many positive narratives for non - ferrous metals, but price increases await the recovery of demand. The crude oil market is in a state of oversupply, chemical product price increases require inventory digestion, and the fundamentals of real - estate - related commodities such as black metals are generally weak [2][20]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 One - Week Review and Views 3.1.1 One - Week Review: Commodities Rose Across the Board, with Precious Metals Leading - This week (02.23 - 03.01), commodity prices generally rose. In terms of sectors: precious metals > non - ferrous metals > energy > agricultural products > oil - chemical > black metals > coal - chemical. Geopolitical conflicts between the US and Iran and uncertainties in US tariff policies led to an increase in market risk - aversion sentiment, resulting in large increases in precious metals and energy [1][11]. - The Trump administration's plan to set reference prices for key minerals boosted the sentiment of non - ferrous metals. Supply - side concerns drove up the prices of tin and lithium carbonate significantly. After the Spring Festival, demand declined, causing the prices of agricultural products such as pigs to fall, but the prices of cotton and soybean oil increased [1][11]. - Shanghai's real - estate policies boosted the sentiment of black commodities, but the effectiveness of the policies remains to be seen, and the increase in black commodities was limited. Rising oil prices supported the prices of aromatic and olefin chains, but the supply and inventory of the chlor - alkali sector were high, and downstream demand was weak, resulting in weak price performance [1][11]. 3.1.2 Next - Week Outlook: Geopolitical Conflicts Intensify, Precious Metals and Energy - Chemicals Strengthen - Geopolitical conflicts will drive the strength of precious metals, energy - chemical and other sectors, but the sustainability of the rise depends on the US - Iran conflict. The positive impact of geopolitical conflicts on the non - ferrous metals sector is weaker than that on the energy sector, but the fundamentals of the non - ferrous metals sector are stronger than those of the energy - chemical sector [2][19]. - Real - estate policies have been implemented, but domestic demand cannot improve quickly, so the upward momentum of black commodities is weak. The opportunities in the agricultural products sector are structural. Overall, next week, energy and precious metals > chemicals > non - ferrous metals > agricultural products > real - estate - related commodities such as black metals [2][19]. - Geopolitical conflicts are the main line of trading for various commodities. The US - Iran situation has deteriorated sharply, and market risk - aversion sentiment will rise. In the short term, the prices of precious metals will soar. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz will disrupt crude oil supply, and oil prices are expected to rise. Rising oil prices will drive up the prices of chemicals, and methanol will also be supported by geopolitical premiums [2][19]. - Whether precious metals and energy - chemical commodities can continue to rise depends on the US - Iran conflict. If the conflict intensifies and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, geopolitical premiums may support further price increases. If the conflict subsides quickly, the short - term price increase may present a selling opportunity [20]. - Excluding geopolitical factors, there are many positive narratives for non - ferrous metals, but price increases await the recovery of demand. The crude oil market is in oversupply, chemical product price increases require inventory digestion, and the fundamentals of real - estate - related commodities such as black metals are generally weak [20]. 3.2 Exchange Rate and Interest Rate Data Tracking - The US dollar index fell slightly, and the yield of 10 - year US Treasury bonds declined. As of February 27, the US dollar index fell 0.10% to 97.6443 compared with February 20. The yield of 10 - year US Treasury bonds was 3.97%, down 11 BP from February 20. The yield spread between Chinese and US 10 - year Treasury bonds was inverted by 215.1 BP [23]. - Although the US PPI in January exceeded market expectations, due to the dovish statements of some Federal Reserve officials, the expectation of interest - rate cuts increased, and the US dollar index weakened slightly. Concerns about AI impact, adjustments in US technology stocks, and rising market risk - aversion sentiment led to a decline in US Treasury bond yields [23]. - After the US - Iran conflict escalated over the weekend, the US dollar index is expected to strengthen. The RMB has been appreciating recently, but considering the strengthening of the US dollar and the reduction of the foreign exchange risk reserve ratio for forward foreign exchange sales by the Chinese central bank, the appreciation of the RMB will slow down [24]. 3.3 Upstream Raw Material Prices - Oil prices fluctuated and rose, coal prices were reported, natural gas prices fell slightly, and industrial electricity prices were also mentioned, but specific data and analysis were not elaborated in detail in the given text [32][33]. 3.4 Production - End High - Frequency Data - The blast - furnace capacity utilization rate of 247 steel enterprises increased, and the daily average output of clean coal from 523 sample mines recovered [35]. - China's copper - tube production decreased, and China's electrolytic - aluminum production increased [36]. - The EIA US crude - oil production was mentioned, and the methanol capacity utilization rate increased. The PE capacity utilization rate increased slightly, the PTA plant operating rate increased, the PVC operating rate increased, and the operating rate of Chinese soda - ash enterprises increased slightly [37][40][42]. - The capacity utilization rate of float - glass enterprises was at a low level, the operating rate of all - steel tires for automobiles increased, the operating rate of semi - steel tires for automobiles increased, and the production of soybean meal from all - sample enterprises' pressing plants in China increased [45][46]. 3.5 Inventory - End High - Frequency Data - After the Spring Festival, the inventories of major commodities generally increased. The copper inventories of the three major exchanges continued to accumulate beyond the seasonal norm, and the corresponding basis decreased. The apparent demand for steel decreased after the Spring Festival, and the inventory continued to accumulate. The inventories of real - estate - related commodities such as PVC, glass, and soda ash generally accumulated beyond the seasonal norm. The inventories of precious metals, coking coal, and soybean meal decreased slightly [47]. 3.6 Demand - End High - Frequency Data - Shanghai announced real - estate stabilization policies this week, and some real - estate high - frequency data improved, such as the increase in the transaction area of second - hand housing in 13 cities. However, the overall improvement did not significantly exceed the seasonal level. The net financing scale of government bonds was 560.4 billion yuan, and the issuance rhythm of government bonds this year is generally ahead of schedule, and the net financing quota of government bonds is currently basically the same as that in the same period of 2025 [60]. 3.7 Key Commodity Basis - The basis of various key commodities such as gold, copper, aluminum, rebar, iron ore, coking coal, crude oil, methanol, PTA, PVC, pig, and soybean meal was mentioned, but specific data and analysis were not elaborated in detail in the given text [70]. 3.8 Commodity Price Ratios - The price ratios of various commodities such as the gold - silver ratio, gold - copper ratio, gold - oil ratio, copper - oil ratio, copper - aluminum ratio, steel - ore ratio, agricultural - industrial ratio, and pig - grain ratio were mentioned, but specific data and analysis were not elaborated in detail in the given text [78].
