Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Steel**: After the Two Sessions, real - estate policies are mainly stable with limited stimulus. Market expectations have returned to fundamentals. Steel exports face pressure, hot - rolled coil inventory is high, and the pressure from warehouse receipts is large. Insufficient inventory reduction may lead to price declines, and the rebound height is limited [3]. - **Iron Ore**: Against the backdrop of war concerns and domestic policy support, tightened spot liquidity has pushed prices higher, but the fundamentals show a seasonal weakening in both supply and demand. Supply pressure persists, and the expectation of steel mill production cuts is rising under stagflation risks, leading to inventory accumulation. If the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, the contraction in iron ore demand from Gulf countries may far exceed the reduction in Iranian supply. Coupled with only a seasonal rebound in shipping costs, the upside space is limited [21]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Domestic coal mines are in the resumption stage, and Mongolian coal customs clearance has recovered rapidly, resulting in large supply pressure. The short - term surplus contradiction of coking coal has intensified. The cost of coking coal for coke has loosened, and coking profits have expanded slightly. The rise in chemical product prices has improved comprehensive profits, and coke enterprise operations are expected to increase. From March to April, it is the verification period for terminal demand. The late Spring Festival has led to a slow resumption of work, and the uncertainty of the Middle East route has suppressed steel exports. The overall downward pressure on the black series is large, and the bottom of coking coal and coke has support but limited elasticity [31]. - **Ferroalloys**: In the short term, the cost support for ferroalloys is gradually strengthening, but the weak downstream steel terminal demand and high plate inventory pressure may limit the upward space for ferroalloys [50]. - **Soda Ash**: Supply - side maintenance may gradually increase, which will affect production in stages. In terms of supply and demand, the rigid demand is currently stable but weak. There may be unexpected disturbances on the supply side, which may affect soda ash production in stages. The inventory performance is better than expected. If the futures price rises, there is some restocking space for middle - stream players such as those involved in futures - cash arbitrage, but due to limited demand elasticity, the price increase space is expected to be limited. The downward price space needs inventory accumulation to open up. In the long - term, the high - supply expectation remains unchanged, and we need to wait for further accumulation of industrial contradictions. In addition to the fundamentals, the overall valuation of soda ash and glass is not high, and there may be an impact from other sectors [64]. - **Glass**: Currently, the glass production and sales are temporarily weak, and the market is still in the recovery stage. The daily melting volume of float glass has dropped to around 148,000 tons, but the high inventory in the middle - stream has always been a risk concern in the market. Once a negative feedback occurs, the spot pressure will be very large, and the downstream may not be able to bear it. Secondly, there are continuous news about ignition and cold - repair, and there are many new lines in Shahe waiting to be ignited. The expectation of supply recovery and high middle - stream inventory limit the upside of glass, and the demand needs to be verified. In addition to the fundamentals, macro and sentiment factors also need to be considered, and there may be an impact [87]. 3.

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The discussion revolves around the impact of rising oil prices on various industries and the potential for stagflation risks in the economy [1][2]. Key Points and Arguments Price Transmission Mechanism - The transmission of rising oil prices to stagflation can be divided into two stages: 1. **Direct Price Transmission**: Oil price increases directly affect downstream industries such as petroleum refining and petrochemicals, leading to cost increases of approximately 16% and 11% respectively for these sectors when oil prices rise by 30% [2][3]. 2. **Economic Downturn Pressure**: Sustained high oil prices can suppress end demand, posing challenges to economic growth and leading to stagflation, where inflationary pressures conflict with the need for economic support [2][3]. Cost Impact on Industries - A 30% increase in oil prices results in significant cost impacts across various sectors: - Directly affected industries like petroleum refining and gas supply see costs rise by 16% and 11% respectively. - Broader industries such as chemicals, metals, and electricity experience cost pressures exceeding 2% due to indirect effects [3][4]. Financial Market Implications - Stagflation expectations can lead to a systemic suppression of risk assets, particularly impacting technology stocks, which have previously benefited from liquidity [3][4]. - The anticipated rise in interest rates to combat inflation may hinder capital expenditures in tech-related sectors, affecting their valuations and growth prospects [3][4]. Sectoral Risk Exposure - Industries with high export dependence, such as home appliances, electronics, and automotive, face greater risks during global demand contractions, with overseas revenue exceeding 20% [4]. - Conversely, sectors reliant on domestic demand, like real estate, public utilities, and food and beverage, show resilience with overseas revenue below 5% [4]. Investment Opportunities and Risk Mitigation Strategies - **Initial Phase**: Investment opportunities focus on sectors benefiting from price increases, including oil, chemicals, and metals, with potential spillover effects into agricultural products [5][6]. - **Subsequent Phase**: As stagflation risks intensify, strategies should shift towards risk aversion, reducing equity exposure and increasing allocations to safe-haven assets like gold and bonds [5][6]. - Defensive sectors such as utilities, food and beverage, and non-bank financials are recommended due to their lower exposure to cost pressures and stronger resilience against demand contractions [6].
