Group 1: Investment Ratings and General Market Outlook - No explicit report industry investment rating provided [1] - The core view is that various commodities show different trends based on factors such as national policies, trade negotiation results, and supply - demand fundamentals. Market sentiment has been affected by factors like China - US trade talks and inflation data [1] Group 2: Macro - Financial Sector - **Stock Index**: Since April, with the support of national policies and Central Huijin's funds, the stock index has recovered the technical gap formed by the tariff shock on April 2. The current risk - return ratio of chasing the rise is not high.

However, the copper price has significantly rebounded and may fluctuate [1] - **Aluminum and Alumina**: The aluminum electrolysis industry has no obvious contradictions. With the unexpected result of China - US trade negotiations, the aluminum price continues to rebound. Supply disturbances of bauxite and alumina have increased, and the supply - demand pattern of alumina has improved. The short - term price may further rebound [1] - **Zinc**: Although the macro sentiment has improved, the terminal demand has weakened significantly in the off - season, and with the inflow of imported goods, the zinc price remains weak [1] - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: US inflation has cooled more than expected, and the result of China - US talks has exceeded market expectations. The export order expectation of terminals has improved, and market risk appetite is expected to recover. The Indonesian resource tax policy has been implemented, and the premium of nickel ore is high. There are rumors of a mining ban in the Philippines, but the implementation is difficult. The nickel price fluctuates in the short term, and there is still pressure from the surplus of primary nickel in the medium - to - long term. The short - term stainless steel futures fluctuate and rebound, but there is still supply pressure in the medium - to - long term [1] - **Tin**: With the unexpected result of China - US talks and improved macro sentiment, the tin price is expected to rebound. The resumption of production in Wa State needs to be continuously monitored [1] - **Industrial Silicon**: Supply is strong, demand is weak, it has entered the low - valuation range, demand has not improved, inventory pressure has not been relieved, and the China - US tariff negotiation result is unexpected [1] - **Polycrystalline Silicon**: The number of registered warehouse receipts is extremely small, the first delivery is approaching, the futures price is at a discount to the spot price, and the willingness to register warehouse receipts is low, and the China - US tariff negotiation result is unexpected [1] - **Lithium Carbonate**: Supply has not further shrunk, the visible inventory has continued to accumulate, the downstream raw material inventory is at a high level, downstream still maintains rigid - demand purchases at low prices, and the China - US tariff negotiation result is unexpected [1] Group 4: Ferrous Metals Sector - **Steel Products (Rebar, Hot - Rolled Coil)**: The trade turmoil has intensified the pressure on the export chain.

With the arrival of the rainy season, there are concerns about weakening demand, and the price continues to be weak [1] - **Soda Ash**: There are many overhauls in May, and the direct demand is okay, but there is medium - term supply surplus, and the price is under pressure [1] - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The supply and demand of coking coal and coke are relatively surplus and are short - positioned in the sector. It is recommended that industrial customers actively seize the opportunities of cash - and - carry arbitrage and selling hedging when the market rebounds to a premium. Consider participating in the JM9 - 1 calendar spread arbitrage [1] Group 5: Agricultural Products Sector - **Palm Oil**: The rise in crude oil will drive the rebound of palm oil, and the China - US talks will drag down the soybean - palm oil price spread.

It is recommended to wait and see [1] - **Rapeseed Oil**: The northern rapeseed - producing areas in Europe are still dry, which is not conducive to the formation of rapeseed yield per unit in the bolting stage. The China - Canada relationship is still uncertain. If Canada cancels the additional tariffs on China, it is expected to cause a large decline. Consider long - volatility strategies [1] - **Cotton**: In the short term, there are disturbances such as trade negotiations and weather premiums for US cotton. In the long term, macro uncertainties are still strong. The domestic cotton - spinning industry has entered the consumption off - season, and there are signs of inventory accumulation in downstream finished products. It is expected that the domestic cotton price will maintain a weak and fluctuating trend [1] - **Sugar**: According to the latest forecast of the Brazilian National Supply Company, Brazil's sugarcane production in the 2025/26 season is expected to be 663.4 million tons, a 2% decline from the previous year. The sugar production is expected to reach a record 4.59 million tons, a 4% increase from the previous year. If the crude oil price continues to be weak, it may affect the sugar - making ratio in Brazil's new crushing season and lead to an unexpected increase in sugar production [1] - **Corn**: The overall situation of deep - processing in the Northeast has stabilized, the decline in Shandong's deep - processing has slowed down. The import corn auction policy and China - US economic and trade talks have a negative impact on sentiment. The market回调 in the short term. It is recommended to buy on dips and pay attention to the C07 - C01 calendar spread arbitrage [1] - **Soybean Meal**: There is no driving force for speculation in US soybean planting. The domestic market continues to digest the negative factors of spot pressure and Brazilian selling pressure, and the market is expected to fluctuate [1] - **Pulp**: After the positive impact of the unexpected China - US trade negotiation on pulp futures is realized, the fundamentals still lack upward momentum, and it is expected to fluctuate [1] - **Logs**: The arrival volume of logs remains high, the overall inventory is high, and the price of terminal products has declined. There is no short - term positive factor, and it is expected to fluctuate at a low level [1] - **Pigs**: With the continuous repair of the pig inventory, the slaughter weight continues to increase. The market expectation is obvious, the futures price is at a large discount to the spot price, and there are no bright spots in the downstream [1] Group 6: Energy and Chemical Sector - **Crude Oil - Related (Fuel Oil, Palm Oil)**: The result of China - US trade negotiations far exceeds market expectations, reducing concerns about weakening demand. After a sharp decline, there is a demand for rebound and repair [1] - **BR Rubber**: The result of China - US trade negotiations is unexpected.

The PTA shortage strengthens the cost support for short - fiber, and short - fiber performs strongly under the high basis [1] - **Ethylene Glycol**: Ethylene glycol devices are under maintenance, large - scale devices in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have reduced their loads, and coal - based devices have started to be overhauled [1] - **Pure Benzene and Styrene**: The improvement of China - US tariff policies stimulates market speculative demand, the pure benzene price gradually strengthens, the profit of the reforming device declines, and the downstream demand for styrene is expected to pick up [1] - **Methanol**: The basis strengthens, the trading volume is average. In the short term, the methanol price fluctuates in a range and is slightly strong. In the medium - to - long term, the methanol spot market may change from strong to weak and fluctuate [1] - **PE, PP, PVC, and Caustic Soda**: For PE, the basis strengthens, and the trading volume is general. It fluctuates slightly strongly in the short term and may change from strong to weak in the medium - to - long term.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - The inland valuation has downward pressure. After the spring maintenance, production increases, downstream profits are divided. New acetic acid production capacity may boost demand but cannot reverse the loose supply - demand pattern. The port starts the inventory accumulation period, with imports in May recovering to 1.1 million tons. The low MTO operation rate suppresses demand, and the 09 contract is under pressure. It is recommended to short the MA09 contract on rallies. In the medium - long term, the supply - demand contradiction remains unsolved, and the rebound space is limited under the inventory accumulation expectation [1]. Polyolefins (LLDPE and PP) - For LLDPE, maintenance increases in May, and the import volume from May to June is expected to decline significantly, reducing the supply pressure in May. However, beware of an unexpected decline in demand. The cost has decreased, and it is recommended to keep short positions until low levels. For PP, although the supply pressure eases slightly during the second - quarter maintenance peak, the production is still high, demand has bottom - support but is weakening, and there is a downward risk in the long - term [4]. Urea - The supply - side capacity at a high level suppresses prices, and the demand - side export expectation provides limited support. The enterprise inventory reduction and port inventory accumulation offset each other. Policy control and international prices weaken the upward momentum. In the short - term, the spot is driven by sentiment, but in the medium - long term, the supply - demand contradiction remains unsolved, and the price is expected to be under pressure after high - level fluctuations [12]. PVC and Caustic Soda - For caustic soda, in the medium - long term, the alumina profit is worrying under over - expansion, the demand for caustic soda is insufficient, and new production capacity is to be put into use, so the supply - demand expectation is weak. In the short - term, the supply is in the centralized maintenance stage, the pre - holiday alumina demand has improved, and the spot price has increased. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling strategy, paying attention to the purchasing intention of major alumina plants in Shandong and the caustic soda plant inventory. For PVC, the supply - demand surplus contradiction is prominent, the real - estate chain is weak, the domestic demand is insufficient, and the export is mainly quantity - for - price. During the Indian Ramadan and rainy season, the demand is hard to increase. It is recommended to short on rallies, but beware of price rebounds due to policy stimuli [25]. Styrene - Pure benzene has a weak supply - demand situation domestically, and the high - volume imports and the potential decline in crude oil prices suppress the styrene market. The styrene market was sluggish yesterday, the port inventory continued to decline, and the downstream procurement was cautious after the holiday. With the stable production of domestic plants, the supply is expected to increase, and the supply - demand margin is under pressure. In the medium - term, the terminal pressure will gradually appear due to tariffs, and the crude oil trend is bearish. It is recommended to short styrene, with the upper - line resistance at 7300 [31]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: Recently, due to the significant compression of PX profits, the unplanned losses of some PX factories have increased, tightening the second - quarter supply. Some PTA factory maintenance has been postponed, supporting short - term demand. With the short - term reduction of polyester inventory pressure and high polyester operation rate, short - term PX support is expected to be strong, but the terminal demand is still expected to be weak under the US tariff policy. - **PTA**: In May, many PTA plants are planned for maintenance, and the short - term polyester high operation rate supports PTA demand. The short - term supply - demand drive is strong, but the demand negative feedback and weak oil price expectation suppress the rebound. - **MEG**: In May, the industry has both maintenance and restart of plants. The domestic supply is expected to increase, but imports may decrease due to Saudi plant maintenance. Under the pressure of the crude oil system, the upward momentum is weak, and it is expected to fluctuate. - **Short - fiber**: After the holiday, the short - fiber factory inventory has decreased, but under the Sino - US tariff stalemate, the short - fiber drive is weaker than that of raw materials, and the processing fee is under pressure. - **Bottle - chip**: A 750,000 - ton device of Sanfangxiang is expected to resume production in May, increasing the supply. The downstream soft - drink industry is expected to increase production in May. The bottle - chip price follows the raw materials, and the processing fee is supported. [35] Crude Oil - Overnight, oil prices rebounded due to macro - factors (the US - UK trade framework agreement boosting market risk preference) and improved supply - demand fundamentals (a two - week decline in US crude oil inventory to the lowest level since late March and a contraction in Cushing inventory). Geopolitical risks have increased, and the option market shows bullish bets. In the short - term, macro and geopolitical factors promote oil price increases, but in the medium - long term, the loose supply situation remains unchanged, and the rebound sustainability is insufficient. It is recommended to wait and see on the long - short side, with the WTI price range at [58, 68], Brent at [60, 70], and SC at [450, 510]. It is recommended to bet on increased volatility in the options market [40]. 3.
