1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the production industry, attention should be paid to the implementation of the "two new" policies. Shanghai has introduced a special action plan to boost consumption, including measures to promote the replacement of old consumer goods, support automobile and home appliance consumption, and offer subsidies for purchasing new digital products [1]. - In the service industry, attention should be paid to the export - related policy restrictions in the logistics industry. The EU plans to charge fees on small parcels entering the EU, most of which are from China [1]. - The prices of some upstream products are fluctuating. Egg prices are oscillating, aluminum prices are rising, while glass and rubber prices are falling in the short - term [2]. - In the mid - stream, the PTA and asphalt开工率 have increased, while the PX开工率 has decreased [3]. - In the downstream, the sales of commercial housing in first - and second - tier cities have seasonally declined to a near - three - year low, and the number of domestic flights has decreased cyclically [4]. - The credit spreads of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries have slightly declined recently [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Upstream - **Agriculture**: Egg prices have been oscillating recently [2]. - **Non - ferrous metals**: Aluminum prices have been rising continuously [2]. - **Black metals**: Glass and rubber prices have declined in the short - term [2]. 3.2 Mid - stream - **Chemical industry**: The PTA开工率 has increased, while the PX开工率 has decreased recently [3]. - **Infrastructure**: The asphalt开工率 has been increasing continuously recently [3]. 3.3 Downstream - **Real estate**: The sales of commercial housing in first - and second - tier cities have seasonally declined and are at a near - three - year low [4]. - **Service industry**: The number of domestic flights has decreased cyclically [4]. 3.4 Market Pricing - The credit spreads of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries have slightly declined recently [5]. 3.5 Industry Credit Spreads - The credit spreads of multiple industries such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, mining, and chemical industry have changed. For example, the credit spread of the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery industry has decreased from 78.86 last week to 63.16 this week [52]. 3.6 Key Industry Price Indicators - The prices of various products in different industries have changed. For example, the spot price of PTA has increased by 1.48% to 4986.3 yuan/ton on May 21, while the spot price of WTI crude oil has decreased by 2.58% to 62.0 dollars/barrel [53].

Group 1: Market Overview - On May 21, among black commodity futures, only iron ore and hot-rolled coils closed higher. Rebar closed at 3061 yuan/ton, down 0.07%; hot-rolled coil's main contract closed at 3211 yuan/ton, up 0.16%; iron ore's main contract closed at 728.5 yuan/ton; coking coal and coke continued to decline [1]. Group 2: Market Analysis - Demand - Terminal real estate investment continues to decline, and steel-using indicators remain weak, dragging down the sentiment of black commodities. Last week, steel blast furnace maintenance increased, and the daily average pig iron output decreased slightly. However, considering the profitability of long-process steel, the short-term production reduction space is limited, and there is still support for the actual demand of iron ore. Overall, the demand for iron ore is in a "near-strong, far-weak" pattern, with limited directional drive for the market [1]. Group 3: Market Analysis - Supply - Mysteel data shows that the latest total iron ore shipments were 33.478 million tons, a month-on-month increase of 3.188 million tons. Overseas shipments have significantly rebounded, which may increase the supply pressure of iron ore. However, the recent arrival volume is relatively low, and the inventory of imported iron ore at Chinese ports is still decreasing. The total inventory of imported iron ore at 47 Chinese ports was 146.2763 million tons, a month-on-month decrease of 2.5825 million tons. In the short term, the low port inventory supports the iron ore price, and the negative impact of the loosening supply on the market is expected to take time to transmit [1]. Group 4: Investment Recommendations - Iron ore: Pay attention to supply-demand changes and inventory, and avoid chasing high prices [1]. - Rebar: Investors are advised to take a volatile approach in the short term and pay attention to the spread between hot-rolled and rebar [1]. - Hot-rolled coil: Investors are advised to take a high-level consolidation approach in the short term and pay attention to supply-demand changes [1]. - Coking coal and coke: Pay attention to the shock market after the decline stabilizes or the strength relationship between the two [1]. Group 5: Summary - Currently, the supply-demand pattern of iron ore has not significantly deteriorated, and the downside space of the market is limited. The positive macro sentiment has been released, and the iron ore futures price is in a volatile consolidation. Iron ore currently has strong rigid demand, and although the pig iron output has declined, it is still at a high level. The supply-demand contradiction may gradually accumulate in the future. Pay attention to short-selling opportunities after the short-term rebound ends [1].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Geopolitical risks, such as Israel's potential attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran's leader's strong stance on nuclear negotiations with the US, have led to increased market risk aversion, affecting the prices of gold, the US dollar index, and oil [1][3][17]. - The reduction of LPR this year has boosted the stock market, with heavy - weighted stocks rising significantly and market sentiment turning optimistic [2]. - In the commodity market, different products show various trends. For example, steel prices are in a weak and volatile pattern due to unimproved domestic real - estate and infrastructure demand; copper prices may be weak in the short term due to concerns about fundamental weakening; and the prices of some agricultural products are affected by factors such as import volume changes and weather conditions [4][5]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Financial News and Comments 3.1.1 Macro Strategy (Gold) - Gold prices rose strongly due to geopolitical risks, once regaining the $3300 mark, but the sustainability of geopolitical risks is uncertain, and a new upward trend has not been confirmed. The Fed is waiting and watching, and there is a lack of incremental positive factors in the short term. It is recommended to reduce positions in the short term [13][14]. 3.1.2 Macro Strategy (Foreign Exchange Futures - US Dollar Index) - The discovery that Israel is preparing to attack Iranian nuclear facilities has increased market risk aversion, causing the US dollar index to fluctuate. It is expected that the US dollar index will fluctuate in the short term [17][18]. 3.1.3 Macro Strategy (Stock Index Futures) - The reduction of LPR and the government's emphasis on financial support for the real economy have led to a rise in risk appetite in the stock market, with heavy - weighted stocks rising significantly. In the short term, retail investors' entry may be the reason for the continuous increase in funds. It is recommended to allocate assets evenly [21][22]. 3.1.4 Macro Strategy (US Stock Index Futures) - Moody's downgrade of the US sovereign credit rating, the impasse of the Trump tax - cut bill, and Google's disappointing developer conference have led to a decline in market risk appetite. The US stock market is still in a volatile pattern, and the upside space is limited after approaching the upper limit of the volatile range [26][27]. 3.1.5 Macro Strategy (Treasury Bond Futures) - The reduction of deposit rates and LPR, and the central bank's reverse - repurchase operation. The problem with going long on long - term treasury bonds is the lack of odds. It is recommended to go long in the medium term but choose the right time and collect low - priced chips as much as possible [30][31]. 3.2 Commodity News and Comments 3.2.1 Agricultural Products (Corn Starch) - The spot price of corn starch is stable. Due to high raw material costs and losses, the number of停产 or减产 enterprises is increasing, and the supply pressure is easing. It is expected that the operating rate will remain low and volatile to digest inventory [32][33]. 3.2.2 Agricultural Products (Corn) - Corn prices have fallen. The increase in warehouse receipts and the weakening of the futures market have made the spot market pessimistic. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the decline in spot inventory can drive the continuous strengthening of spot prices and support the futures market [34]. 3.2.3 Black Metals (Steam Coal) - Steam coal prices continue to decline.
