Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report provides trend judgments on various futures based on fundamental and quantitative indicators, and analyzes the market conditions and trends of multiple industries such as macro finance, black, non - ferrous and new materials, agriculture, and energy chemicals, offering corresponding trading strategies [2][4]. - The geopolitical situation, especially the US - Iran conflict, has a significant impact on the global financial and commodity markets, affecting the supply, demand, and price trends of various commodities [5][6][7]. Summary by Directory 1. Futures Trend Judgments - **Based on Fundamental Judgments**: Trend空头 includes manganese silicon; Oscillatory and bearish includes eggs, ferrosilicon, polysilicon, red dates, plastics, PVC; Oscillatory includes lithium carbonate, cotton yarn, five - year Treasury bonds, ten - year Treasury bonds, two - year Treasury bonds, thirty - year Treasury bonds, cotton, sugar, pulp, logs, urea, iron ore, caustic soda, hot - rolled coil, rebar, copper, ethylene glycol, PTA, industrial silicon, bottle chips, p - xylene, short - fiber, live pigs, coke, methanol, coking coal, glass, soda ash, liquefied petroleum gas, crude oil, zinc; Oscillatory and bullish includes 20 - number rubber, rubber, synthetic rubber, Shanghai Composite 50 stock index futures, CSI 500 stock index futures, CSI 300 stock index futures, CSI 1000 index futures, fuel oil, asphalt [2]. - **Based on Quantitative Indicators**: Bearish includes coke, coking coal, corn starch, hot - rolled coil, rebar, PVC, soybean No.1; Oscillatory includes Zhengzhou cotton, Shanghai gold, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, Shanghai aluminum, soybean No.2, eggs, asphalt, PTA, plastics, sugar, polypropylene, glass, soybean meal, manganese silicon, methanol, rapeseed meal, palm oil, iron ore; Bullish includes rubber, Shanghai tin, Shanghai copper, corn, Shanghai silver, Shanghai lead, Shanghai zinc [4]. 2. Macro Financial - **Stock Index Futures**: Consider a long - position strategy and pay attention to trading volume. The current position has a certain odds, and short - term winning probability may increase [11]. - **Treasury Bond Futures**: The bond market gradually has odds, and consider a left - side long - position strategy. The yield of bonds over 10 years has odds, but the odds are not thick enough. Keep a steep yield curve thinking, and the yield of bonds under 10 years still has room to decline [12]. 3. Black - **Steel**: The overall short - term trend is oscillatory. The demand for building materials is weak, and the inventory of coils and strips is high, suppressing steel prices. The cost side has strong support, and the iron ore supply and demand are in a double - strong pattern. Suggest holding the short - straddle strategy for steel and iron ore, and then shorting on rallies later [14][15][16]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The prices may oscillate strongly in the short term. It is recommended to go long on dips. The prices are affected by the energy substitution logic caused by geopolitical conflicts. Although the supply is sufficient, the procurement willingness of coking enterprises has recovered. If the emotional premium fades, the price may fall back [17]. - **Ferroalloys**: It is recommended to short on rallies. The supply of ferrosilicon and manganese silicon is expected to increase, and the supply - demand relationship is weakening. Although the prices are affected by energy emotions, the fundamental contradictions are accumulating [18]. - **Soda Ash and Glass**: Currently, it is advisable to wait and see. Soda ash supply has slightly declined due to short - term maintenance, and the supply stability of leading enterprises needs attention. Glass supply has both cold - repair and ignition expectations, and the mid - stream inventory needs to be digested [19]. 4. Non - ferrous and New Materials - **Copper**: The short - term price will oscillate widely. The Middle East situation shows signs of easing but remains uncertain. The downstream consumption is warming up, and the inventory is decreasing [21]. - **Zinc**: The inventory has decreased, and the price has stopped falling and rebounded slightly. It is still advisable to adopt an oscillatory and bearish strategy with small price rebounds [22][23]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: It is affected by mine - end disturbances and macro - emotions. If the export of lithium ore from Zimbabwe is still prohibited, it may drive up the price; otherwise, it may cause a short - term supply shock [23][24]. - **Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon**: Industrial silicon oscillates, and it is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of selling call options after a rebound. Polysilicon oscillates weakly, and the liquidity is insufficient, so operate with caution [25][26]. 5. Agriculture - **Cotton**: The price oscillates at a high level. The cotton market is affected by the surrounding market and the macro - environment. The global cotton production is expected to decline, and the domestic cotton inventory is in the de - stocking stage. The import pressure restricts the price, but the decrease in the expected planting area is beneficial to the price in the long term [27][28]. - **Sugar**: The price oscillates and rebounds. The global sugar supply surplus is expected to decrease, and the domestic sugar has seasonal production pressure, but the import cost supports the price [29][30]. - **Eggs**: The recent consumption recovery supports the price, but the supply pressure is large. The spot price may have limited upside, and the futures price of the near - month contract has upward pressure [32][33]. - **Apples**: High - quality apples may be strong, and the futures price may be strong. The inventory is at a low level in recent years, and the demand during the Tomb - Sweeping Festival boosts the price [34][35]. - **Red Dates**: The current view is oscillatory and bearish. It is in the traditional consumption off - season, and the consumption is difficult to grow significantly without external positive factors [36]. - **Live Pigs**: It is advisable to pay attention to selling out - of - the - money call options of near - month contracts. The supply is strong and the demand is weak, but the live - pig inventory is expected to decrease, and the factors for the price to stabilize and rebound are accumulating [37]. 6. Energy Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The geopolitical risk has weakened, but the situation is still variable. If the Strait of Hormuz is navigable, the oil price will return to fundamental trading; otherwise, it may rise. The US - Iran conflict is likely to cool down [39]. - **Fuel Oil**: It will follow the oil price and oscillate at a high level. The focus is on the resumption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz [40]. - **Plastics**: The price is slightly supported by the unstable situation in the Middle East. The upstream production cut is expanding, and the future price depends on the resolution of the war [41]. - **Rubber**: The domestic Yunnan production area has started tapping, and the price is oscillatory and strong in the short term. It is advisable to hold the strategy of narrowing the spread between RU and NR and pay attention to the opportunity of selling put options after full - scale tapping [42]. - **Synthetic Rubber**: The price is driven by the cost side and may have room to rise. It is advisable to wait and see, and pay attention to energy prices and device changes [43]. - **Methanol**: The short - term price is affected by the geopolitical situation in Iran. The long - term supply - demand pattern is improving, but there is great uncertainty. It is not advisable to be overly bearish [44]. - **Caustic Soda**: It is advisable to adopt an intraday wide - range oscillatory strategy. The price is affected by coal prices, supply - side production cuts, and export volume increases, as well as futures premium and inventory accumulation [45][46]. - **Asphalt**: The industry is in a situation of weak supply and demand. The price follows the oil price, and the profit has rebounded [47][48]. - **PVC**: The price may have a callback risk. The core factor is whether the upstream ethylene production cut can continue and expand. If the oil transportation problem is solved, the price may fall rapidly [49]. - **Polyester Industry Chain**: It is advisable to take profit on previous long positions. The cost side is weakening, but the supply contraction provides support. Pay attention to the geopolitical impact, device maintenance progress, and the recovery of polyester demand [50]. - **Liquefied Petroleum Gas**: The geopolitical risk has weakened, but the situation is still variable. If the Strait of Hormuz is navigable, it will return to fundamental trading. It is expected to continue to weaken, but the price may be stronger than that of crude oil [51]. 7. Others - **Paper Pulp**: Pay attention to the impact of the macro and commodity emotions. The import is stable, and the downstream demand is mainly for rigid replenishment. The high inventory and weak demand are in a game with the cost and energy - related production cuts of overseas pulp mills. It is advisable to go long on dips if the market improves [53]. - **Logs**: Pay attention to the macro and commodity emotions. The procurement enthusiasm of processing plants is low, and the fundamentals may stabilize if the demand recovers [54]. - **Urea**: The far - month contract pays attention to cost - driven and agricultural product price increases, and the near - month contract follows the policy. The current supply - demand is balanced, and the impact of the state reserve release needs to be observed [55].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The geopolitical situation between the US and Iran is uncertain, causing the energy and chemical market to continue to fluctuate. The core factor affecting the current oil price is the geopolitical situation, and the market is in a state of expectation swing. The oil price is expected to fluctuate at a high level, and the chemical products are treated with a fluctuating mindset [1][2]. - The supply and demand of various chemical products are affected by multiple factors, such as geopolitical situation, production reduction, and cost pressure. Most products are expected to show a fluctuating trend in the short - term, and the market is waiting for the geopolitical situation to become clear [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Crude Oil - **View**: Geopolitical expectations are fluctuating, and oil prices are oscillating at a high level. - **Main Logic**: The geopolitical prospects in the Middle East are still highly uncertain. The crude oil market currently faces a large supply gap. The potential release volume of floating storage in Iran and Russia is relatively limited, and the production reduction pressure of Persian Gulf countries remains. The expected deviation in the future mainly comes from factors such as the progress of the US - Iran conflict, tanker passage in the Strait of Hormuz, and attacks on energy facilities. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [5]. 3.1.2 Asphalt - **View**: The asphalt - fuel oil price difference starts to repair upwards. - **Main Logic**: The geopolitical situation is the core factor affecting the current oil price. The market is worried about the restart of the US - Iran negotiation, and the oil price drops. The asphalt - fuel oil price difference rebounds but is still at a low level. The profit of asphalt refineries deteriorates and then repairs upwards. The reduction of asphalt production by refineries may drive the price difference to rise. The supply of asphalt is expected to further decline, and the inventory pressure is still large. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [6]. 3.1.3 High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: The geopolitical premium of high - sulfur fuel oil partially declines. - **Main Logic**: The geopolitical situation is the core driver of the current oil price. The market is worried about the restart of the US - Iran negotiation, and the oil price drop drives the high - sulfur fuel oil futures price down. The high import dependence and strong geopolitical attributes of fuel oil are affected by the geopolitical situation in Iran. In the long - term, the demand for high - sulfur fuel oil for power generation in the Middle East is gradually replaced by natural gas and photovoltaics, which is a long - term negative factor. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [6]. 3.1.4 Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: Low - sulfur fuel oil follows the decline of crude oil. - **Main Logic**: Low - sulfur fuel oil follows the high - level decline of crude oil. The current market focuses on the progress of the geopolitical situation. Low - sulfur fuel oil has strong main product attributes. During the rise of oil prices, its valuation has been significantly repaired. It faces negative factors such as the decline of shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [8]. 3.1.5 Methanol - **View**: Geopolitical conflicts continue, and methanol oscillates within a range. - **Main Logic**: On March 25, 2026, the methanol futures price oscillated weakly. The price in the inland market回调, and the trading atmosphere improved slightly. The inventory of production enterprises and ports decreased. The overseas situation is uncertain, and the market tends to trade the geopolitical premium. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [27]. 3.1.6 Urea - **View**: Urea oscillates and consolidates under the game of long and short positions. - **Main Logic**: On March 25, 2026, urea oscillated and consolidated. The supply is sufficient, and the demand side has a slight loosening of agricultural demand and a moderate recovery of industrial demand. The spot is restricted by policy price limits and commercial storage release. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [28]. 3.1.7 Ethylene Glycol - **View**: The geopolitical situation between the US and Iran continuously disturbs the market sentiment, and ethylene glycol maintains a high - level consolidation. - **Main Logic**: The high - level callback of international oil prices weakens the support for chemical products. The arrival of ethylene glycol at the main port will drop to a low level in early April. The market will continue to oscillate widely, and the reduction of polyester factories' production weakens the upstream demand. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [20]. 3.1.8 PX - **View**: The expectation of the Strait's restart strengthens, and the cost pressure on downstream polyester factories is still significant. - **Main Logic**: The expectation of the end of the US - Iran war and the restart of the Strait suddenly increases, causing a certain callback in international oil prices. The supply of PX in the future is affected by the reduction of domestic and overseas PX device loads. The high price of PX/PTA forces the polyester production reduction expectation to continue to increase, and the demand - side negative feedback suppresses the PX price and efficiency. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [11]. 3.1.9 PTA - **View**: The production reduction of filament is implemented and the amplitude is expanded, weakening the demand support for the upstream. - **Main Logic**: The high - level decline of international oil prices and the callback of PX prices. Although the cost decline drives the downstream polyester sales volume to increase, the current high cost still puts great pressure on polyester factories. The spot inventory is still relatively loose, and the basis has not strengthened significantly. The production reduction of filament factories weakens the upstream demand and increases the difficulty of inventory removal. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [11]. 3.1.10 Short - Fiber - **View**: After the phased centralized procurement, the downstream will observe again. - **Main Logic**: The international oil price fluctuates widely, and the market sentiment strongly games around the geopolitical situation. The polyester raw material price fluctuates in line with the cost. The supply of short - fiber continues to increase, but the downstream trading is average, and most are waiting and seeing. After the phased centralized procurement, the downstream will observe again. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [22]. 3.1.11 Bottle Chip - **View**: The cost volatility intensifies, and the bottle chip follows passively. - **Main Logic**: The upstream cost has a high - level callback, and the polyester bottle chip follows the upstream raw materials to rise and then fall. The overall absolute price change is limited, and the short - term price trend is expected to still follow the upstream cost fluctuation. The current supply and demand of polyester bottle chips are tight, and the overall fundamentals are relatively good. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [24]. 3.1.12 Styrene - **View**: Geopolitics brings positive effects on the supply and demand of styrene, and styrene runs strongly with oscillation. - **Main Logic**: The styrene price is still dominated by the geopolitical situation, with strong repeated disturbances. On the supply side, some devices have new product outputs, and attention should be paid to whether there are new device overhauls or load reductions. On the demand side, the overall downstream profit declines, and the support for the price weakens. There is an expected increase in exports. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [17]. 3.1.13 PE - **View**: The overhaul continues to increase, and PE should be treated with caution. - **Main Logic**: On March 25, the plastic main contract declined, and the market game was intense. The expectation of the possible cooling of the US - Iran situation led to the decline of oil prices. The geopolitical prospects are still highly uncertain. If the Strait of Hormuz is continuously affected, PE imports may decrease. The energy and chemical sentiment is still repeated in the short - term, and the refinery start - up decline still supports the near - month contract. The spot price fluctuates, and the downstream trading is average. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [32]. 3.1.14 PP - **View**: The disturbance of the expectation of geopolitical relaxation confronts the increase of overhauls, and PP oscillates. - **Main Logic**: On March 25, the PP main contract declined. The expectation of the possible cooling of the US - Iran situation led to a sharp decline in oil prices. The geopolitical prospects are still highly uncertain. The direct impact on the import side is limited. The profits of oil - based and PDH in the PP refinery are still under pressure, and the coal - based profit has been significantly repaired. The overall start - up is at a low level, and the PP现货 trading is average. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [33]. 3.1.15 PL - **View**: Geopolitical expectations disturb, and PL oscillates. - **Main Logic**: On March 25, the PL main contract declined. Individual enterprises released propylene, increasing the wait - and - see sentiment of industry players. The enterprise offers were mainly stable, and some prices continued to decline, dragging down the actual transaction price. The short - term powder profit was compressed, and the downstream factory acceptance was limited. - **Outlook**: Oscillation [34]. 3.1.16 PVC - **View**: It is mainly affected by sentiment, and PVC should be treated with caution. - **Main Logic**: At the macro - level, the market is gaming the US - Iran peace negotiation, and the commodity sentiment cools down. At the micro - level, both domestic and overseas production has been reduced, and the PVC inventory has been removed. The overall supply shows a downward trend, the downstream start - up has improved month - on - month, the enthusiasm for chasing up is not high, the overseas price has soared, and the foreign merchants are waiting and seeing.

Core Views of the Report - The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is the core variable affecting the prices of various commodities, leading to significant short - term price fluctuations and high uncertainty [1][2]. - Different commodities have different supply - demand situations and price trends, with some being affected by supply - side factors, some by demand - side factors, and some by both [3][7][14]. Summary by Commodity Categories Energy Commodities - **Crude Oil**: The US proposed a conflict - ending plan to Iran, but the negotiation was disrupted. The short - term oil price has large two - way fluctuation risks, and the long - term core variable is the smooth passage of the Strait of Hormuz [1]. - **Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: With the expectation of geopolitical easing, fuel oil prices followed the decline of crude oil. The supply gap of high - sulfur fuel oil cannot be fully hedged, and low - sulfur fuel oil is supported by supply reduction and high cracking spreads [20]. - **Asphalt**: Domestic refineries are worried about future imported raw materials, reducing asphalt supply. The fundamentals have marginal improvement expectations, and the price will follow the oil price with limited downside [21]. Precious Metals - **Precious Metals**: Overnight precious metals rebounded. Market sentiment fluctuates with news of the US - Iran war, and precious metals maintain high volatility in the short term [2]. Base Metals - **Copper**: Overnight copper prices rebounded near the short - term moving average. Some overseas investment banks lowered the annual average copper price forecast. The copper price may get support at key positions during the peak season [3]. - **Aluminum**: Overnight Shanghai aluminum fluctuated. The spot discounts in some regions decreased, and the inventory and spot market improved slightly. The 23,000 - yuan position is a key support [4]. - **Zinc**: Zinc prices rebounded with the non - ferrous metal sector, but there are concerns about tight liquidity. The domestic zinc market is in an oversupply situation, but the cost line provides support. The price is expected to enter a range - bound state [7]. - **Lead**: The lead market is in an oversupply state, with the price running weakly. There is support at 16,200 yuan/ton, but the import of low - cost lead affects the price [8]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: Shanghai nickel fluctuated, and the market trading volume declined. The demand for stainless steel in the peak season was lower than expected. The market is mainly affected by policy and sentiment, with a weak and volatile trend [9]. - **Tin**: Overnight tin prices fluctuated around the MA5 moving average. The fundamentals of tin itself have changed little. The price may seek support at 300,000 yuan and the medium - and long - term weekly K - line moving average [10]. Chemical Commodities - **Carbonate Lithium**: Carbonate lithium showed a strong and volatile trend. The overall inventory reduction speed slowed down, and the inventory structure changed. The lithium market is resistant to decline and is expected to fluctuate [11]. - **Polysilicon**: Polysilicon futures were weak. The demand was affected by the cancellation of export tax rebates, and the price continued to decline. Although the medium - term trend is bearish, the short - term downward space is limited [12]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The industrial silicon market showed a pattern of weak supply and demand, with high social inventory. The silicon price is expected to continue to fluctuate in the short term [13]. - **PVC & Caustic Soda**: PVC showed a weak and volatile trend at night. The supply decreased, and the inventory declined. The export market is expected to be good. Caustic soda also showed a weak and volatile trend, with a decline in supply pressure [27]. - **PX & PTA**: If the US - Iran situation eases, the risk premium of PX and PTA will decline. The demand recovers slowly, and the industry load decreases [28]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The load of ethylene glycol decreased, and the inventory declined slightly. The price fell with the decline of oil prices [29]. Agricultural Commodities - **Soybean & Soybean Meal**: The US - Iran relationship may ease. Brazilian soybean harvest and export data are important factors. The prices of soybeans and soybean meal are affected by multiple factors and have high uncertainty [34]. - **Cotton**: Zhengzhou cotton fell slightly. The demand in the peak season in March was good. The import quota was released, and the inventory decreased. The medium - term strategy for Zhengzhou cotton is bullish [40]. - **Sugar**: International attention is on the new - season Brazilian sugar production, which is expected to decline. Domestically, the sugar market is in a pattern of weak reality and strong expectation [41]. - **Apple**: Apple futures prices continued to decline. The trading focus is on the demand side. The poor quality and high price of Shandong apples led to weak demand and a decline in futures prices [42]. Others - **Stock Index**: A - shares rebounded with reduced volume. The futures index contracts rose, with IM leading the increase. The market is affected by geopolitical and liquidity factors. The medium - term configuration should be balanced, and the short - term strategy is to buy on dips for broad - based indexes [45]. - **Treasury Bonds**: The 30 - year Treasury bond futures rose, while the 2 - year futures fell slightly. The long - term bonds may continue to fluctuate in the short term and have a rebound opportunity after over - decline [46].
