Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall market shows complex trends, with different commodities and financial products having their own characteristics. Some are influenced by supply - demand fundamentals, some by geopolitical factors, and others by macro - economic policies and seasonal factors. The market rhythm switches quickly, and most products are in a state of oscillation, with different potential investment opportunities and risks [2][3][14] - Different industries have different outlooks. For example, some industries like polycrystalline silicon and manganese silicon are expected to have a relatively positive trend, while others such as urea and PVC may face certain challenges in supply - demand balance and price trends [13][18][28] Summary by Related Catalogs Precious Metals and Base Metals - **Precious Metals**: International gold prices continued a moderate upward trend after the breakthrough, while silver, platinum, and palladium accelerated their rise, with a gain of over 10%. The Fed's easing prospects and geopolitical risks support the strength of precious metals. The spot shortage expectation makes silver, platinum, and palladium more favored by funds, and the gold - silver ratio has dropped significantly below the average. However, exchange restrictions are frequent, and market volatility is extremely high [2] - **Copper**: Copper prices continued to rise strongly last Friday. The Shanghai copper weighted reached a maximum of 102,700 yuan, and it is expected that the London copper will open at $12,700 - $12,800. The market has quickly reached the bullish targets of most overseas institutions for 2026. The target price of the copper market is raised, with the London copper at about $13,100 and the Shanghai copper at about 104,000 yuan [3] - **Aluminum**: The aluminum market's fundamentals are neutral, with poor apparent demand and spot feedback. Shanghai aluminum mainly followed the upward trend, with relatively mild fluctuations. Long - positions should be held with the 40 - day moving average as the support [4] - **Zinc**: In late December, domestic smelter overhauls increased, supporting the adjustment of Shanghai zinc above the annual line. In January, the pressure on the zinc ingot supply side is small, and with the late Spring Festival in 2026 and the expected good start, the consumption side is not pessimistic. Shanghai zinc is expected to oscillate in the range of 22,800 - 23,800 yuan/ton [7] Energy and Chemicals - **Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: High - sulfur fuel oil supply is mainly affected by geopolitical factors, with the shipping rhythm in the Middle East and Russia slowing down. The demand side may be boosted by improved refinery profits and the US blockade of Venezuelan oil exports. Singapore's inventory continues to accumulate, and the high - inventory pressure is still significant. Low - sulfur fuel oil supply is dominated by overseas refinery starts. The demand side of ship fuel consumption is continuously weak due to high - sulfur substitution [21] - **Asphalt**: Since December, the weekly shipment volume has remained below 400,000 tons, at a low level in the same period of the past four years. Last week, both social and factory inventories increased. The supply - demand of BU is marginally relaxed, but positive news has a significant boost. However, it will eventually return to the price - pressured pattern dominated by supply - demand relaxation [22] Agricultural Products - **Soybean & Bean Meal**: CBOT soybeans oscillated downward after reopening last Friday, and Dalian soybean meal rose first and then fell. In the future, attention should be paid to the specific export situation of US soybeans and whether the La Nina weather in South America can have a continuous impact [35] - **Cotton**: US cotton rebounded from a low level last week, and the weekly signing data improved, with increased Chinese purchases. Domestic Zhengzhou cotton rose continuously, and the market is bullish. Although this year's new cotton production has increased significantly, the commercial inventory is basically the same as the previous year, and the sales progress is relatively fast [42] Others - **Stock Index**: The previous trading day, the broader market oscillated with heavy volume, and the Shanghai Composite Index recorded an 8 - day consecutive gain. All major futures index contracts closed higher, with IC leading the gain. Industrial profits of large - scale enterprises from January to November showed a growth trend, and the RMB exchange rate broke "7" last week [47] - **Treasury Bonds**: On December 26, 2025, the 30 - year treasury bond futures had the largest increase of 0.36%. In December, the central bank's net MLF injection was 10 billion yuan, a consecutive tenth - month incremental renewal. Against the background of increased counter - cyclical adjustment policies, long - term interest rates have risen significantly recently [48]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Industrial silicon: Oscillating / Polysilicon: Oscillating [4] Core Viewpoints of the Report - For industrial silicon, the current production cut scale is insufficient to reverse the inventory accumulation pattern, and it is expected to continue accumulating inventory in Q1 26 during the dry - season. It is advisable to focus on short - selling opportunities after rebounds. For polysilicon, although there may be a situation of "high prices but low trading volume" from January to February, the peak - season expectation cannot be falsified, so it is more advisable to focus on long - buying opportunities at low prices [3][17][18] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Industrial Silicon/Polysilicon Industry Chain Prices - The Si2605 contract of industrial silicon increased by 190 yuan/ton week - on - week to 8880 yuan/ton.

Inner Mongolia had 4 furnaces under maintenance, and Gansu increased production by 4 furnaces after previous maintenance. SMM industrial silicon social inventory increased by 0.2 million tons week - on - week, and sample factory inventory increased by 0.31 million tons. The industrial silicon market is in tight balance in December, but may accumulate inventory in Q1 next year if production cuts are not sustained. After the price increase, some large factories started hedging sales, and downstream purchasing enthusiasm was low. Attention should be paid to whether the polysilicon sector will cut production [12] Organic Silicon - The price of organic silicon remained stable this week. Some companies reduced production loads. The overall enterprise start - up rate was 68.33%, with a weekly output of 45200 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 3.42%. The inventory was 44000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 2%. With the supply contraction and inventory decline, the price may rise steadily after the pre - festival restocking demand is released [12][13] Polysilicon - The main contract of polysilicon futures fluctuated downward this week. After the establishment of the platform company, the spot price of polysilicon rose again. As of December 25, the factory inventory of polysilicon enterprises was 303,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 10,000 tons.

If the price cannot be passed on, the start - up rate in January is expected to decline [15] Components - The price of components remained basically stable this week. Affected by the rising battery cell price, component enterprises raised their quotes. The domestic end - of - year installation demand ended, and overseas orders had no significant increase. Professional component factories will start reducing production in January, and the domestic production volume in January may fall below 30GW. As of December 15, the finished - product inventory of Chinese photovoltaic components was 31.7GW, a week - on - week increase of 0.5GW [16] 3. Investment Recommendations - For industrial silicon, although the market rumors and positive sentiment in the commodity market drove the price up, from the fundamental perspective, it is recommended to focus on short - selling opportunities after rebounds.

Core Viewpoint - The A-share market is expected to enter a new phase driven by "profitability and policy guidance" in 2026, transitioning from a liquidity-driven market in 2025, with a focus on both growth and stability in investment strategies [2][5]. Investment Opportunities - The two main investment lines for the next 3-5 years are: 1. "Growth Steed" representing technology innovation fields such as domestic computing power, AI applications, robotics, and energy storage 2. "Steady Horse" representing traditional industry upgrades and value reassessment, including high-end manufacturing, resource security, and financial openness [3][4]. - Institutional funds are expected to continue focusing on AI and computing power, but with a more balanced allocation towards traditional industries like finance and resource optimization [2][3]. Market Characteristics - The 2026 market is characterized by a shift from liquidity-driven dynamics to profitability-driven dynamics, which may increase volatility but still present structural opportunities [5]. - The "15th Five-Year Plan" emphasizes "technological self-reliance" as a core strategy for high-quality development, which is anticipated to reshape the valuation system of A-shares, particularly benefiting technology growth stocks [4]. Valuation and Pricing Logic - The "technological self-reliance" policy is expected to enhance the visibility of earnings and policy certainty for technology growth stocks, thereby reducing risk premiums and raising valuation benchmarks [4]. - The pricing logic for technology stocks will shift from being purely thematic-driven to a three-dimensional assessment based on "technical barriers, market space, and policy support" [4]. Investment Strategy for Ordinary Investors - Ordinary investors are advised to adopt a "core + satellite" allocation framework, focusing on long-term growth sectors while dynamically adjusting satellite positions based on market conditions and policy catalysts [3][5]. - In 2026, it is recommended to initially lean towards "Growth Steed" sectors in the first half of the year, and gradually increase exposure to "Steady Horse" sectors in the latter half to manage potential market fluctuations [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Copper - The current high copper price is mainly driven by the structural imbalance of supply and inventory. The COMEX - LME premium leads to the continuous siphoning of non - US copper resources by the US, intensifying the supply shortage in non - US regions. The Fed's interest rate cuts and balance - sheet expansion boost market risk appetite and support copper prices. - The long - term TC in 2026 is $0/ dry ton. As long as the by - product profit can be higher than the smelting cost, the cash - flow profit of smelters can be maintained. The key to the tightness in the smelting end transferred from the tightness in the mine end lies in the price trend of by - products such as sulfuric acid. - SMM expects that China's electrolytic copper production may continue to rise in December, with sufficient spot supply. High copper prices suppress terminal demand, resulting in a large discount in the spot market this week, an increase in social inventory, and a weakening of downstream operating rates and order releases. - In the future, the upward drivers are the further deterioration of the overseas inventory structure and the further improvement of interest - rate cut expectations; the downward driver is the negative feedback from weakening demand, but the downside space is limited in non - recession scenarios. In the long run, the bottom center of copper prices may continue to rise [1]. Aluminum - Alumina futures maintained a low - level shock yesterday. The fundamental pattern of oversupply in the spot market has not improved. The root cause is the structural surplus between stable supply growth and peak demand, which has triggered a comprehensive negative feedback cycle from inventory to cost. The supply is rigid, and the weekly output increased by 0.5 million tons to 1.689 million tons, leading to a weekly increase in the entire industrial chain inventory to a new high. After the price breaks through the industry's cash - cost line, enterprises pressure the price of upstream bauxite, and the cost - support level moves down dynamically. Alumina prices are expected to fluctuate at a low level around the cash - cost line, with a reference range of 2450 - 2650 yuan/ton for the main contract. - Electrolytic aluminum futures maintained a high - level shock yesterday. The spot discount widened to - 170 yuan/ton, indicating poor market acceptance at high prices and sluggish spot trading. Macroscopically, the overseas easing expectation is strengthened, and the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December. The employment data from October to November shows a significant cooling of the labor market, consolidating the logic of interest - rate cuts, and the weakening US dollar is beneficial to aluminum prices. Domestically, policies remain positive. On the supply side, the new production capacities in China and Indonesia are steadily released, and the operating output increases slightly; on the demand side, it enters the traditional off - season, the operating rates of downstream aluminum - processing sectors generally decline, and the proportion of molten aluminum decreases to 76.3%, reflecting weakening terminal consumption. The inventory structure is differentiated, and the on - the - way inventory in Xinjiang has increased due to improved transportation. Aluminum prices are expected to fluctuate widely in the short term, with a reference operating range of 21800 - 22600 yuan/ton for the main contract of Shanghai aluminum [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The cast - aluminum - alloy market maintained a slightly stronger shock yesterday. The core contradiction in the current market is the game between strong cost support and the reality of weakening marginal demand. On the cost side, the supply of scrap aluminum, especially primary aluminum, is continuously and comprehensively tight, and holders generally hold back supplies and support prices, causing recycled - aluminum plants to face high procurement costs. In addition, the stricter implementation of reverse invoicing in some regions recently is expected to increase the cost by about 100 yuan/ton, and some enterprises have raised prices urgently. On the demand side, high aluminum prices suppress the purchasing willingness of downstream die - casting enterprises, and enterprises mainly purchase on demand and wait and see cautiously. Although there is a phased impulse demand at the end of the year, the overall slowdown is obvious. The social inventory has decreased slightly for several consecutive weeks to 5.34 million tons, indicating a tight - balance state in the market. The price of ADC12 is expected to continue to fluctuate in a high - level range in the short term, with a reference range of 20800 - 21600 yuan/ton for the main contract [5]. Zinc - The TC of zinc has stopped falling and stabilized, and zinc prices are fluctuating. Domestic zinc - concentrate production has entered the production - reduction season, and the domestic zinc - mine output decreased month - on - month in November. As the risk of short - squeezing overseas eases and the Shanghai - London ratio is repaired, the window for zinc - mine imports is opened, and the TC shows signs of stopping falling and stabilizing. On the smelting side, due to profit pressure, more enterprises are actively reducing production and controlling output, and the increase in refined - zinc output is limited. On the demand side, the operating rates of downstream processing industries are basically stable. After the center of zinc prices moves down, enterprises replenish stocks at low prices, the domestic spot zinc ingots maintain a premium, and the social inventory continues to decline. In terms of inventory, the LME inventory has increased significantly, and the 0 - 3 structure has changed to a discount, easing the short - squeezing risk. Macroscopically, the inflation and employment data in the US in November improve the expectation of interest - rate cuts, which supports zinc prices, and the main contract should focus on the support level of 22850 - 22950 [9]. Tin - On the supply side, the resumption of tin - mine production in Myanmar is expected to accelerate, and the import volume has steadily recovered in November. Attention should be paid to the subsequent increase in supply. On the demand side, tin - solder enterprises in South China show certain resilience. Against the background of the traditional peak season, some downstream electronic - consumption and new - energy - related orders support the operating rate, making the overall trading atmosphere in this region better than that in East China, especially in the sub - fields related to new - energy vehicles and photovoltaic solder strips, where the demand remains stable. In East China, the operating rates of tin - solder enterprises are more obviously suppressed as they are more oriented towards traditional consumer electronics and white - goods fields. Recently, there are signs of improvement in the supply from Myanmar and Indonesia, and previous long positions should be gradually closed for profit. Subsequently, attention should be paid to the macro situation and the recovery of the supply side [11]. Nickel - The Shanghai nickel futures fluctuated widely yesterday, showing a relatively strong trend during the day and a slight decline at night. Recently, the market has mainly traded around the expectation of tightened nickel - ore supply. The increase in domestic nickel prices has widened, but the spot trading of refined nickel remains cold. The spot premium of Jinchuan nickel resources has risen, and traders are cautious about purchasing at high premiums. In terms of nickel ore, the FOB price of 1.4% nickel ore from the Eramen mine in northern Philippines was settled at $40, and the shipping efficiency is acceptable; the domestic - trade benchmark price in Indonesia in December (Phase II) is expected to fall by $0.11 - 0.18/ wet ton, with a mainstream domestic - trade premium of + 25. The domestic - trade price of nickel ore is expected to continue to decline. In terms of nickel iron, the support from the ore end is increasing, and the pressure on prices from steel mills has eased due to improved profits, and the recent transaction price has risen slightly. The demand for stainless steel remains weak, and steel mills are cautious about raw - material procurement, with weak terminal demand. At the end of the year, the production schedule of downstream ternary materials has declined slightly, and the medium - term new production capacity will also have a restrictive effect, and the price of nickel sulfate has fallen slightly. Overseas inventory is accumulating at a high level but at a slower pace, while the pressure on domestic social inventory is increasing. Overall, the expectation of Indonesia's increased control over nickel ore has boosted recent sentiment, but the actual implementation remains to be observed. The short - term reality is still weak, and the medium - term fundamental looseness restricts the upside space of prices. The futures are expected to continue to fluctuate and repair in the short term, but the upside space after the rapid breakthrough of the support level remains to be observed. Attention should be paid to the possibility of a callback after the digestion of news impacts, with a reference range of 123000 - 130000 for the main contract [12]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel futures maintained a relatively strong shock yesterday, with a slight decline at night. The price - increase atmosphere in the现货 market has become stronger, steel - mill agents led the price increase, and some traders and downstream enterprises replenished stocks at low prices, resulting in an overall increase in trading volume. Macroscopically, the Fed cut interest rates as expected this year, and the domestic central bank injected liquidity, and the policy window has shown a certain attitude in stabilizing growth and promoting consumption. In the nickel - ore market, the news from Indonesia has been fluctuating, strengthening the market's expectation of tightened ore supply. The FOB price of 1.4% nickel ore from the Eramen mine in northern Philippines was settled at $40; the domestic - trade benchmark price in Indonesia in December (Phase II) is expected to fall by $0.11 - 0.18/ wet ton, with a mainstream domestic - trade premium of + 25. The bargaining range for nickel iron has been raised, and the profit losses of iron plants have been somewhat repaired; the price of ferrochrome has been running steadily, and factories are mainly fulfilling orders. The supply is relatively high, but some enterprises may conduct annual maintenance at the end of the year, and the loss pressure may also force more steel mills to actively reduce production, slightly easing the supply pressure. In the off - season of demand, the order releases in downstream fields such as home appliances and architectural decoration are limited, and market transactions are mainly based on rigid demand, with a low willingness for large - scale procurement. The social inventory is decreasing overall, but the reality of high inventory is still prominent. Overall, the futures are greatly affected by overall sentiment, the supply pressure in the fundamentals has slightly eased, and the cost support from the ore end and nickel iron has been strengthened, but the demand boost in the off - season is insufficient. The short - term sentiment in the stainless - steel market has improved, but the supply - demand game in the fundamentals continues. It is expected to adjust through shocks in the short term, with a reference range of 12500 - 13200 for the main contract. Subsequently, attention should be paid to the news from the nickel - ore end and the implementation of steel - mill production cuts [15]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium - carbonate futures remained strong yesterday. The main contract LC2605 continued to rise by 5.89% to 124720 at the close after approaching the daily limit at the end of the session and then reducing positions and falling back, with high capital sentiment. There is a lot of incremental news. The Guangzhou Futures Exchange announced that starting from the trading time on December 26, the daily opening - position limits for non - futures - company members or clients in contracts LC2601, LC2602, LC2603, LC2604, and LC2605 shall not exceed 400 lots respectively, and those in contracts LC2606, LC2607, LC2608, LC2610, LC2610, LC2611, and LC2612 shall not exceed 800 lots respectively. The minimum order quantity for trading instructions has been adjusted from 1 lot to 5 lots, and the minimum closing - order quantity remains 1 lot. In addition, Jiemian News reported that according to a person close to CATL, the lithium - ore mining project in the lower reaches is expected to resume production around the Spring Festival. Fundamentally, the supply and demand are both strong. The production data last week maintained a slight increase. Recently, the increment of new salt - lake lithium - extraction projects has been partially released. After the completion of maintenance of some projects, the lithium - extraction production from spodumene is expected to increase in December, while the production from mica remains stable with a slight decrease. Subsequently, attention should be paid to the resumption progress of large enterprises. The recycling end has shown a slight upward trend recently. The downstream demand maintains a certain resilience. In the off - season, the market's production - schedule expectations for downstream industries in January are mostly a slight month - on - month decrease, mainly driven by the reduction in ternary materials for power batteries. The inventory reduction slowed down last week. The inventories of upstream smelters and downstream sectors continued to decrease, while the inventories of battery - cell factories and traders increased. The high off - balance - sheet hidden inventory may also pose a certain pressure. The short - term balance fundamentals support the price to some extent, but there is limited new driving force in the future. Recently, the futures performance has deviated from the spot market in the capital - driven market. Negative news may suppress sentiment, intensifying the long - short game. The futures may retreat and then fluctuate widely, with a reference range of 118,000 - 122,000 for the main contract [17]. Industrial Silicon - The spot price of industrial silicon has stabilized. The futures price has oscillated and rebounded by 145 yuan/ton to 8780 yuan/ton. Both supply and demand are stable with a downward trend, and the expectation of industrial - silicon production reduction is further increasing. Attention should be paid to the subsequent implementation. The expectation of joint production cuts by multiple leading enterprises to support prices is rising. Currently, the weekly production has decreased slightly without obvious changes, and attention should be paid to the follow - up progress. The expectation of rising coal prices also provides support at the bottom. It is expected that the weak supply - demand situation will continue in December. Attention should be paid to the implementation of the decrease in industrial - silicon production. It is still expected that the industrial - silicon price will oscillate at a low level, with the main price - fluctuation range likely to be between 8000 - 9000 yuan/ton. If the production does decrease significantly, it is expected to break through 10,000 yuan/ton upwards. However, if polysilicon production is significantly reduced, the price will fall [19]. Polysilicon - The spot price of polysilicon has slightly declined, and the futures price has oscillated, declined, and then recovered, rising by 380 yuan/ton to 59225 yuan/ton. The exchange announced that non - futures - company members or clients shall not open more than 200 lots in each contract on a single day. Against the background of weak demand, upstream enterprises hope to drive up the prices of the entire industrial chain by supporting prices. Recently, downstream enterprises have raised their quotes under the pressure of rising raw - material prices. The prices of silicon wafers have increased by 2 - 4%, the prices of battery cells have increased by 5%, and the prices of components have increased slightly by 0.15%, but the profits are still under pressure. From the perspective of terminal installation, after the new policy, due to the relatively concentrated power - generation time of photovoltaic installations, the advantage of more dispersed power - generation time of new - energy wind power has emerged, so the integrated development of wind, solar, and energy storage may be a more profitable development direction. For the photovoltaic industrial chain to increase the overall price level, the demand side needs to find more application scenarios to absorb the gradually rising costs. The polysilicon price will still oscillate at a high level, and the futures price is still at a significant premium to the spot market. Attention should be paid to the production - reduction amplitude or the pressure of price decline. In terms of trading strategies, it is advisable to wait and see for the time being, and pay attention to the subsequent production - reduction situation and the acceptance of price adjustments. The open interest of the near - month contract has decreased to 12,700 lots, and the open interest of the 2602 contract is 28,900 lots. Investors are still reminded to pay attention to position management [20]. 3.
