Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - In the short term, the market may continue to be in a period of oscillation and volatility reduction, suppressing the overall atmosphere. The black sector remains in a weak state and is likely to be short - sold. However, in the medium to long term, commodity bulls are expected to continue [35][42]. - Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, such as the US - Israel military strikes on Iran, have become a core driver for short - term price movements in precious metals, crude oil, and other commodities. The development of the situation will significantly impact prices [8][12][14]. - For different industries, specific supply - demand relationships, cost factors, and policy expectations will affect price trends. For example, in the metals industry, factors like supply disruptions and downstream demand recovery are crucial; in the energy and chemical industry, supply - demand balance and cost changes play important roles; in the agricultural products industry, factors such as production, consumption, and trade policies are key [12][14][78]. Summary by Directory Macro - finance Stock Index - **Market Information**: Military conflicts between the US and Iran, OPEC's production increase plan, new developments in large - scale models, and the militarization of artificial intelligence are the main factors affecting the stock index [2]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Amid the US - Iran conflict and the strong appreciation of the RMB exchange rate driving foreign capital inflows, it is recommended to pay attention to domestic two - sessions policy signals and changes in the war situation. The strategy is to buy on dips [4]. Treasury Bonds - **Market Information**: Military conflicts between Israel and Iran, Trump's plan to negotiate with Iran, and the central bank's reverse repurchase operations [5]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Inflation recovery may potentially suppress the bond market, and the endogenous power of economic recovery is not yet stable. The short - term safe - haven sentiment in the market due to the US - Iran conflict is beneficial for the bond market, but the subsequent trend depends on the intensity and duration of the conflict. The bond market is expected to continue to oscillate [7]. Precious Metals - **Market Information**: Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East have led to price increases in precious metals. The price trend depends on the development of the war [8]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The opening prices of gold and silver are expected to gap up. If the war expands, the upward trend may continue; if the situation eases, prices are likely to return to high - level consolidation. A short - term long - position strategy is recommended [9]. Non - ferrous Metals Copper - **Market Information**: Geopolitical concerns have led to a mixed performance in copper prices. LME and domestic inventories have changed, and the basis has adjusted [11]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Geopolitical factors and supply - side constraints support copper prices. With the improvement of downstream operating rates, the inventory accumulation rate is expected to slow down. Short - term copper prices are strongly supported but with increased volatility [12]. Aluminum - **Market Information**: Geopolitical factors have caused aluminum prices to oscillate. Inventory and basis have changed [13]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Although domestic aluminum ingot inventories are at a relatively high level, they are expected to peak earlier than in previous years. Geopolitical risks increase the supply risk in the Middle East, and aluminum prices are strongly supported but with increased volatility [14]. Zinc - **Market Information**: Zinc prices have shown a slight increase. Domestic and foreign inventories and basis have changed [15]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The domestic zinc industry is weak. Zinc prices may follow the upward trend of copper and aluminum prices due to relative valuation [15]. Lead - **Market Information**: Lead prices have shown a slight increase. Domestic and foreign inventories and basis have changed [16]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Although lead inventories have increased significantly, the current price is at the lower end of the oscillation range. The narrowing of smelting profits may reduce the surplus of lead ingots. Short - term lead prices are expected to stop falling and gradually recover [16]. Nickel - **Market Information**: Nickel prices have shown a slight decline. Spot prices and cost factors have changed [17]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: In the medium term, nickel prices are expected to rise slowly due to the reduction of RKAB quotas in Indonesia.

Supply - side concerns and demand - side recovery are the main factors [18]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Although the market has a strong sentiment to go long on tin prices, the supply - demand situation is marginally loose, and inventories are rising. It is not advisable to blindly chase the high. Tin prices are expected to oscillate widely. A wait - and - see strategy is recommended [19]. Lithium Carbonate - **Market Information**: Lithium carbonate prices have shown a slight decline. Spot and futures prices have changed [20]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The inventory of lithium carbonate has been depleted during the Spring Festival, and the downstream demand is resilient. The short - term supply is expected to be tight. However, if the export ban on lithium concentrate in Zimbabwe is lifted, the impact on domestic supply may be limited. Attention should be paid to downstream stocking rhythm and market sentiment [20]. Alumina - **Market Information**: Alumina prices have declined. Inventory and basis have changed [21]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The increase in maintenance and the delay in production start - up have led to a contraction in inventory accumulation. The high - level of warehouse receipts registration due to the premium on the futures market suppresses the upward movement of prices. A wait - and - see strategy is recommended [22]. Stainless Steel - **Market Information**: Stainless steel prices have declined. Inventory and basis have changed [23]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The supply - side pressure has increased due to the arrival of steel mill resources after the festival.

The future trend of manganese silicon and ferrosilicon depends on the overall market sentiment and cost factors [42][43]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - **Industrial Silicon** - **Market Information**: Industrial silicon prices have shown a slight increase. Inventory and basis have changed [44]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The supply and demand of industrial silicon are expected to increase in March. Prices are expected to oscillate. Attention should be paid to the resumption of production of large - scale factories in the northwest and downstream demand changes [45]. - **Polysilicon** - **Market Information**: Polysilicon prices have shown a slight increase. Inventory and basis have changed [46]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The production of polysilicon is expected to increase in March, but the inventory is still high, and the demand feedback is not good. Polysilicon prices are expected to be under pressure. A wait - and - see strategy is recommended [47]. Energy and Chemicals Rubber - **Market Information**: Due to the US - Iran conflict, the prices of crude oil and naphtha are expected to rise, driving up the price of butadiene rubber futures. The natural rubber market has both bullish and bearish factors [49]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: It is recommended to trade short - term according to the market, set stop - losses, and enter and exit quickly. For hedging, it is recommended to open new positions or continue to hold positions by buying the NR main contract and shorting the RU2609 contract [52]. Crude Oil - **Market Information**: Crude oil prices have risen, and the inventory of refined oil products has changed [53]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The current oil price has already factored in a high geopolitical premium. It is recommended to take profits on rallies and focus on medium - term layout [54]. Methanol - **Market Information**: Methanol prices have declined.

Pure Benzene and Styrene - **Market Information**: The prices of pure benzene and styrene have declined. Inventory and basis have changed [60]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The non - integrated profit of styrene is neutral to high, and the upward repair space of valuation is narrowing. It is recommended to gradually take profits [61]. PVC - **Market Information**: PVC prices have declined. Inventory and basis have changed [62]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The supply of PVC is strong, and the demand is weak. The domestic market is in a situation of oversupply, and the fundamentals are poor [63][64]. Ethylene Glycol - **Market Information**: Ethylene glycol prices have shown a slight increase. Inventory and basis have changed [65]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The overall load of ethylene glycol is still high, and the port inventory is under pressure. There is an expectation of further profit compression and load reduction. However, due to geopolitical factors and coal price rebounds, there is a risk of price rebound [66]. PTA - **Market Information**: PTA prices have declined. Inventory and basis have changed [67]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: PTA is difficult to enter the de - stocking cycle. The processing fee has declined, but there is still room for valuation increase. It is recommended to go long on dips following PX in the medium - term [68]. p - Xylene - **Market Information**: p - Xylene prices have increased. Inventory and basis have changed [69]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: p - Xylene is currently in a stock - accumulation stage, but it will gradually enter the de - stocking cycle in March.

The market is in a situation of oversupply [78]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The near - term pig prices are still bearish after the rebound, while the far - term prices are slightly bullish but with limited upside space. It is recommended to use reverse arbitrage or wait for the price to fall and then buy [79]. Eggs - **Market Information**: Egg prices are stable. The supply is high, and the demand may increase in the short term but decrease later [80]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The inventory of laying hens is large, and the behavior of delaying culling and feather replacement may weaken the medium - term price increase potential. Attention should be paid to the valuation pressure on the far - term disk [81]. Soybean and Rapeseed Meal - **Market Information**: US soybean exports, Brazilian soybean harvest progress, and domestic soybean inventory have changed [82]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The market rumor of an extended customs clearance time for South American soybeans has driven up the price of soybean meal.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The overall sentiment in the commodity market was positive last week, with the prices of finished steel products rebounding slightly. However, the fundamentals of the black series are significantly weaker than pre - holiday expectations, and the prices are likely to continue the range - bound and weak pattern in the short term. The core contradictions are inventory digestion and demand verification.

Although the demand for molten iron has recovered well, the price is expected to be range - bound and weak. [6] - For ferrosilicon and silicomanganese, in the medium - to - long - term, the bullish trend of commodities is expected to continue, but the short - term market may continue the shock and volatility - reduction cycle. The black sector is still in a weak state and is likely to be short - sold. [11] - For coking coal and coke, in the medium - to - long - term, the bullish trend of commodities is expected to continue, but the short - term market may be in a shock and volatility - reduction cycle. The black sector is weak, and there is a risk of short - term callback for coking coal. It may have a relatively smooth upward trend from June to October. [17] - For industrial silicon, it is expected to show a pattern of both supply and demand increasing, with prices moving in a range. For polysilicon, the futures price is expected to be under pressure, and it is advisable to wait and see.

- The report introduces the **Huaxin Market Sentiment Temperature Indicator**, which is constructed based on six dimensions: index price changes, trading volume, number of rising and falling stocks, KDJ indicator, northbound capital flows, and margin trading data. This indicator is classified as an oscillating indicator, similar to the RSI indicator, and is more effective in range-bound markets rather than trending markets. It provides guidance for high-selling and low-buying strategies during market oscillations. However, it may become less effective (lagging) during strong market trends, which could indicate the emergence of a trend. The indicator's prolonged presence near 80 or above, or 20 or below, requires reassessment of its applicability[5][21] - The **Huaxin Market Sentiment Temperature Indicator** is calculated using historical data from the past five years. It assigns a composite score to market sentiment, ranging from 0 to 100, with specific thresholds: "overcool" (0-19), "cool" (20-39), "neutral" (40-59), "warm" (60-79), and "overheat" (80-100). The indicator suggests that when the sentiment score is below or near 50, the market tends to find support, while scores above 80 indicate potential resistance[8][21] - The **current sentiment score** is 78, indicating a "warm" market sentiment. This suggests that the market is active, and investor confidence is strong. However, caution is advised to avoid risks associated with potential overheating[2][8] - The **indicator's evaluation** highlights its utility in oscillating markets for identifying high-selling and low-buying opportunities. However, it lacks predictive power in trending markets and may require adjustments when prolonged extreme values are observed[21] - The **backtesting results** of the indicator are not explicitly provided in the report, but its historical application is referenced to validate its effectiveness in identifying market support and resistance levels[8][21]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, the current oil price has risen and priced in a high geopolitical premium. In the short term, there is still a supply gap from Iran. Considering the expected over - performance of Venezuela's production increase and OPEC's subsequent production recovery, the main operation idea is to make a medium - term layout, but wait for the end of the geopolitical situation to eliminate tail risks [4]. - For methanol, the downward momentum remains, but the negative factors have weakened marginally, so the downward space is limited. The main idea is to go long on dips in the medium - term [7]. - For urea, the current situation of internal - external price difference has opened the import window. Coupled with the expected production increase at the end of January, the fundamental negative expectations are coming, so it is recommended to short [9]. - For rubber, it is recommended to trade short - term according to the market, set stop - losses, and enter and exit quickly. For hedging, it is recommended to open new positions or continue to hold positions by buying the main contract of NR and shorting RU2609. If RU is below 17000, it needs to be treated with caution [14][15]. - For PVC, the domestic supply - demand situation is strong supply and weak demand, and the fundamentals are poor. The comprehensive profit of enterprises is at a neutral level, but the supply reduction is small, the output is at a historical high, the domestic demand has not fully recovered from the off - season, and the export is the only short - term support [18]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the non - integrated profit of styrene is neutral to high, the valuation upward repair space is shrinking. The supply of pure benzene is still abundant, the port inventory of styrene is continuously accumulating, and the demand is in the off - season. The non - integrated profit of styrene has been greatly repaired, and it can be gradually taken profit [21]. - For polyethylene, the futures price has decreased. The "moderate production increase" of OPEC+ has led to an oscillating crude oil price. The spot price of polyethylene has decreased, and the PE valuation still has downward space. The coal - based inventory has been greatly reduced, which supports the price. After the Spring Festival, the demand for agricultural film raw materials begins to decrease, and the overall operating rate may rebound [24]. - For polypropylene, the futures price has decreased. The EIA monthly report predicts a slight reduction in global oil inventory, and the supply surplus may ease. There is no production capacity release plan in the first half of 2026, and the demand - side downstream operating rate rebounds seasonally. The overall inventory pressure may ease, and it is recommended to go long on the PP5 - 9 spread on dips [27]. - For PX, the current load is high, and the downstream PTA has many maintenance plans with a low overall load. In the short term, PX is in a inventory - accumulating pattern. In March, as PX enters the maintenance season and PTA devices restart unexpectedly, PX will gradually enter the inventory - reducing cycle. The medium - term pattern is good, and it is recommended to go long on dips following the crude oil [29]. - For PTA, it is difficult to turn into an inventory - reducing cycle as the maintenance expectation decreases. The PTA processing fee has declined, and the short - term callback is expected to be in place. The PXN has回调 to a neutral level, and there is still room for valuation increase. It is recommended to go long on dips following PX and grasp the rhythm [34]. - For ethylene glycol, the overall load is still high, the import is expected to decrease in March, but the port inventory accumulation pressure is still large due to the ongoing recovery of downstream demand. There is an expectation of further profit compression and load reduction in the medium - term. The valuation is currently neutral to low, and there is a risk of rebound due to the tense situation in Iran and the rebound of coal prices [36].

Rubber - **Market Information**: Due to the conflict between the US and Iran, the prices of crude oil and naphtha are expected to rise, and the butadiene rubber futures are expected to be driven upwards. Rubber RU and NR are expected to oscillate strongly. The bulls think that the rubber production in Southeast Asia may be limited, the rubber usually rises in the second half of the year, and the demand in China is expected to improve. The bears think that the macro - economic outlook is uncertain, the supply is increasing, and the demand is in the off - season.

The supply of pure benzene is still abundant, the port inventory of styrene is continuously accumulating, and the demand is in the off - season. The non - integrated profit of styrene has been greatly repaired, and it can be gradually taken profit [21].

The average downstream operating rate was 33.73%, a 4.03% decrease. The LL5 - 9 spread was - 75 yuan/ton, a 7 - yuan decrease [23]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The futures price has decreased. The "moderate production increase" of OPEC+ has led to an oscillating crude oil price. The spot price of polyethylene has decreased, and the PE valuation still has downward space. The coal - based inventory has been greatly reduced, which supports the price. After the Spring Festival, the demand for agricultural film raw materials begins to decrease, and the overall operating rate may rebound [24]. Polypropylene - **Market Information**: The closing price of the main contract was 6611 yuan/ton, a 119 - yuan decrease; the spot price was 6605 yuan/ton, a 100 - yuan decrease; the basis was 64 yuan/ton, a 19 - yuan strengthening.

The EIA monthly report predicts a slight reduction in global oil inventory, and the supply surplus may ease. There is no production capacity release plan in the first half of 2026, and the demand - side downstream operating rate rebounds seasonally. The overall inventory pressure may ease, and it is recommended to go long on the PP5 - 9 spread on dips [27]. PX - **Market Information**: The PX05 contract increased by 12 yuan, at 7394 yuan.

The PTA load was 76.6%, a 1.8% increase. In terms of devices, one unit of Yisheng New Materials was operating at 50% capacity, and one unit restarted. In terms of imports, South Korea exported 33.9 tons of PX to China in the first and middle ten - days of February, a 12.4 - ton increase year - on - year. The inventory at the end of December was 465 tons, a 19 - ton increase from the previous month. In terms of valuation and cost, the PXN was 299 US dollars (- 14), the South Korean PX - MX was 164 US dollars (+ 6), and the naphtha crack spread was 114 US dollars (+ 17) [28]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: The current PX load is high, and the downstream PTA has many maintenance plans with a low overall load. In the short term, PX is in a inventory - accumulating pattern. In March, as PX enters the maintenance season and PTA devices restart unexpectedly, PX will gradually enter the inventory - reducing cycle. The medium - term pattern is good, and it is recommended to go long on dips following the crude oil [29]. PTA - **Market Information**: The PTA05 contract decreased by 10 yuan, at 5250 yuan. The
