The fundamentals are still weak, and the market sentiment is cautious. It is expected to continue to fluctuate in the short term [6][8]. - **Treasury Bond**: The bond market closed down on Monday, and the market sentiment is weak. The economic data in November shows weakening economic momentum, but the market focus is not on the fundamentals. The policy focus on expanding domestic demand has not yet formed a clear impact on the bond market [8][9]. - **Container Shipping to Europe**: The price increase is less than expected. The market is in a tug - of - war between the support of spot prices and the expectation of future capacity release. In the short term, the market will continue this situation, and different contracts need to pay attention to different factors [9][10][12] Commodities Non - ferrous Metals - **Platinum & Palladium**: The prices rose sharply at night. The Fed's expected loose monetary policy and the EU's relaxation of the fuel - vehicle ban are beneficial to the demand for platinum and palladium in automobile catalysts. It is recommended to pay attention to the internal - external price difference of platinum [14][16]. - **Gold & Silver**: The prices are in a high - level shock. Focus on the release of the US non - farm payroll report tonight. In the short term, it is expected to be in a high - level shock, and bullish in the medium - long term [17][18][19]. - **Copper**: The fixed - asset investment growth rate declined, and the copper price shows an internal - weak and external - strong pattern. Pay attention to the high - level adjustment risk and support at 90,000 [20][21][22]. - **Aluminum Industry Chain**: The trends are different. Aluminum is expected to be oscillatingly strong in the medium term; alumina is weakly operating; cast aluminum alloy is oscillatingly strong [22][23][24]. - **Zinc**: It is in short - term wide - range fluctuations. The macro environment is favorable, and the fundamentals show tight supply at the mine end and support from inventory de - stocking [25][26]. - **Tin**: It is in a technical correction. Although the supply at the mine end is tight, the downstream demand has not increased significantly. It is expected to enter a wide - range shock stage [26]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: It is oscillatingly strong. In the short term, it is driven by market sentiment, and in the medium - long term, it has a long - value support from the demand side [27][28]. - **Industrial Silicon & Polysilicon**: Industrial silicon has limited downside space in the medium - long term; polysilicon is in a wait - and - see situation, with the trading logic mainly based on technical aspects [29][30]. - **Lead**: The inventory accumulation exerts pressure.

The demand is declining, and the supply has some support signals. The short - term downward driving force is weakened, but the long - term oversupply situation remains [50][52]. - **Methanol**: Maintain the reverse - spread view. The 1 - 5 spread shows a positive - spread pattern, mainly due to market trends and unloading problems. It is recommended to add positions in the 1 - 5 reverse - spread [53][54]. - **PP**: The cost side still has strong support. The supply pressure may be alleviated in January, and the demand has some support. It is necessary to pay attention to the spot situation [56][57]. - **PE**: Pay attention to the spot situation. It shows a pattern of increasing supply and decreasing demand. The supply pressure is large, and it is difficult to form strong support [58][59]. - **Pure Benzene - Styrene**: Styrene's inventory decreased on Monday. Pure benzene shows a near - weak and far - strong pattern, while styrene shows a near - strong and far - weak pattern [60][61][62]. - **Fuel Oil**: The cracking is weak. The supply is stable, the demand is weak, and the high - sulfur cracking is under pressure. It is recommended to wait and see [63]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: The cracking is rising.

The supply of natural rubber is slightly tightened, the downstream demand support is weakening, and the inventory is still accumulating. It is expected to oscillate [68][70]. - **Urea**: The futures and spot prices tend to converge. The supply is high, and the price is under pressure, but the export policy weakens the downward driving force. It is expected to oscillate [71][72]. - **Soda Ash & Caustic Soda**: They fluctuate at a low level. Soda ash has an increasing over - supply expectation, and glass may have some production - line cold - repairs in the future. Caustic soda has weak fundamentals and is expected to decline weakly [73][74][75]. - **Log**: The short positions left the market intensively, and the price rose and then fell. The price is in a game state, with limited trading value [76][78][79]. - **Propylene**: It is weakly oscillating. The cost pressure is increasing, the supply is relatively loose, and the demand is not strong. It will remain in a weak state before more maintenance [79][80]. Agricultural Products - **Pigs**: The supply - demand situation in the peak season needs verification. The policy may affect the long - term supply, and the short - term is mainly based on fundamentals. The near - month has an over - supply pressure, and the far - month is stronger [82][83]. - **Oilseeds**: The customs - clearance time is extended. The import soybean buying sentiment is reduced, and the domestic soybean meal and rapeseed meal have different supply - demand situations. The external market of soybeans is weakly oscillating, and the domestic soybean meal is in a positive - spread trend in the short term [84][85][86]. - **Oils**: They are weakly operating. Palm oil is under supply pressure, soybean oil is affected by soybean auctions, and rapeseed oil is affected by market news. The short - term price center of gravity is moving down [87][88]. - **Cotton**: Pay attention to downstream orders. The domestic cotton supply - demand is expected to be tight in the long term, and the price is relatively strong, but there is short - term pressure. It is recommended to buy on dips [89]. - **Sugar**: The price hits a new low. Affected by the high - supply situation in major producing countries, the sugar price is in a weak state [90][91][92]. - **Eggs**: The chicken culling is in progress. The long - term egg - laying hen capacity is still excessive, but there is a turning point. It is recommended to participate in long positions lightly if betting on a rebound [93]. - **Apples**: The price has a large retracement. The consumption is not smooth, and the inventory is slowly decreasing. It is recommended to buy on dips [94][95]. - **Jujubes**: The new - product supply is sufficient. The new - season jujube production is expected to decrease slightly, and the short - term price has limited downside space. Pay attention to downstream pre - holiday purchases [96][97].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The research aim of commodity meso - rotation is to combine the "subjective + quantitative" concept and put it into practice, reducing the specificity of factors, parameters, and models in the strategy, and focusing on interpretability and attributability [3][81] - The report constructs a monthly - frequency variety cluster meso - rotation model. The in - sample average annualized return rate is 17.79%, the Sharpe ratio is 1.44, the drawdown is - 5.70%, and the monthly win - rate is 68.98%. From January to November 2025, the out - of - sample total return is 15.43%, the drawdown is 1.09%, the monthly win - rate is 70%, and only three months record negative returns [3][4][83] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Commodity Rotation Mechanism and Variety Cluster Division - In the previous report, it was proposed that during the upward phase of the inventory cycle, the real - side is dominant, manifested as fundamental valuation; during the downward phase, the expected - side is dominant, manifested as macro - valuation. A research framework for the rotation of fundamental and macro - valuation under the cycle phase was put forward, and the meso - targets were implemented at the variety cluster level [6] - 16 variety clusters were selected, including 3 in the black sector, 3 in the non - ferrous sector, 5 in the energy and chemical sector, 3 in the agricultural products sector, and 2 in the precious metals sector, starting from January 1, 2019 [7] 3.2 Bottom - up - Fundamental Perspective 3.2.1 Fundamental Valuation Index Construction - The construction of fundamental valuation indexes in meso - rotation is similar to but different from traditional fundamental quantitative analysis. Due to differences in data among varieties, a special method is needed. First, pre - process the original data of inventory, profit, and inventory - to - consumption ratio, including pre - screening, filling missing values, 3σ standardization, and seasonal adjustment. Then, construct the variety cluster diffusion index. Finally, use the inventory diffusion index as the base diffusion index and design "logic gate" adjustment rules [10][13][14] 3.2.2 Back - testing Results - The strategy is rebalanced monthly. By adjusting the number of long and short variety clusters, it is found that the overall return is strongly correlated with the number of variety clusters. The average annualized return rate of the full - parameter group is 9.88%, the Sharpe ratio is 0.52, the drawdown is - 10.58%, and the monthly win - rate is 57.96%. The ls_4_4 group is selected as the strategy benchmark [22] 3.3 Top - down - Macro Perspective 3.3.1 Variety Clusters Expressing Macro Views - Through principal component analysis of Wind's five major sector indexes, three principal components are obtained. PC1 is the combined effect of growth and interest rate factors, with precious metals having a significant negative exposure and the other four sectors having significant positive exposures; PC2 is the combined effect of inflation structure and monetary policy expectations, with energy and chemical and agricultural products having positive exposures and the other three sectors having negative exposures; PC3 is the influence of RMB exchange - rate depreciation, with black and energy - chemical sectors having negative exposures and precious metals, non - ferrous, and agricultural products having positive exposures [28][29][31] 3.3.2 Macro - valuation Index Construction - Select growth, inflation, interest rate, and exchange - rate as macro indicators and construct monthly - frequency indicators. For growth and inflation factors, select proxy indicators, pre - process, seasonally adjust, filter, and synthesize them; for interest rate and exchange - rate factors, calculate them from high - frequency asset data and then reduce the frequency. The macro - valuation intensity index is constructed by multiplying the factor exposure after rolling regression by the factor momentum, summing them up, and then multiplying by the confidence indicator [40][41][49] 3.3.3 Back - testing Results - The strategy is rebalanced monthly. By adjusting the number of long and short variety clusters, it is found that the overall return decreases as the number of variety clusters increases, and the drawdown and volatility ease. The average annualized return rate of the full - parameter group is 10.13%, the Sharpe ratio is 0.91, the drawdown is - 11.17%, and the monthly win - rate is 66.94%. The ls_4_4 group is selected as the reference group [59] 3.4 Cycle Timing 3.4.1 Inventory Cycle Index Construction - Construct an inventory cycle index based on enterprise accounts receivable and inventory, which is the ratio of the increment of enterprise finished - product inventory to the increment of enterprise revenue. After data selection, cleaning, and calculation, the inventory cycle index is standardized to the [0,1] interval and lagged by one month [62] 3.4.2 Inventory Cycle Inflection Point Identification - First, determine the dynamic threshold; then, identify the initial inflection points; finally, filter the inflection points for the second time. After the second filtering, 5 adjacent inflection points are removed. From March 2012 to the end of 2024, there are 11 effective inflection points, and the average inventory cycle running time is 2 years and 1 month. After subjective adjustment, the average running time is 41 months [65][66][70] 3.5 Variety Cluster Meso - rotation Model - Based on the inventory cycle's up - and - down phases, conduct a binary rotation of the valuation model. In the inventory up - phase, the weight of fundamental valuation is 100%; in the down - phase, the weight of macro - valuation is 100%. The average annualized return rate of the in - sample full - parameter group is 17.79%, the Sharpe ratio is 1.44, the drawdown is - 5.70%, and the monthly win - rate is 68.98%. The out - of - sample total return from January to November 2025 is 15.43%, the drawdown is 1.09%, the monthly win - rate is 70%, and only three months record negative returns [74][83] 3.6 Summary and Outlook 3.6.1 Summary - The report builds a variety cluster fundamental valuation rotation model from a bottom - up perspective and a variety cluster macro - valuation rotation model from a top - down perspective. It also constructs an inventory cycle index and conducts a binary rotation of the valuation model based on the inventory cycle [81][82][83] 3.6.2 Outlook - Adjust the variety cluster division method and include active varieties such as new - energy silicon and lithium - Consider factors such as the currency and hedging attributes of precious metals and the geopolitical attributes of oil products - Construct a variety cluster trend state identification model based on volume - price characteristics and evaluate the trend confidence with valuation levels - Deploy a monitoring system from sentiment analysis and news for mid - cycle strategies to avoid risks [84]
