1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, on February 20, the US Supreme Court ruled that Trump's practice of imposing tariffs globally under the IEEPA was invalid. Trump then imposed a 10% tariff under Section 122 and raised it to 15%, while launching multiple trade investigations. The US Q4 2025 real GDP initial annualized growth was 1.4%, significantly lower than the market expectation of 2.8% and the previous value of 4.4%. The market risk appetite was weak, with precious metals strong, industrial metals and US stocks under pressure, and the 10Y US Treasury yield falling to 4.04%. [2] - Domestically, during the Spring Festival, the passenger flow and consumption data were generally positive. The national Spring Festival travel cross - regional passenger transport reached a record high, and holiday consumption increased steadily. In February, it was an economic data and policy vacuum period, and the market focus might shift to the economic situation at the beginning of the year and the policy expectations of the Two Sessions in early March. [3] - For precious metals, the uncertainty of US tariffs increased, and gold and silver prices strengthened. The inflation in the US showed sticky characteristics, and the Fed's internal policy differences were significant, suppressing the market's rapid interest - rate cut expectations. Trump's confrontation with the Supreme Court added uncertainty, and it was expected that gold prices would continue to be volatile and strong, while silver prices would maintain high volatility. [4][5] - For copper, although the US Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs did not directly affect copper, Trump's tariff increase and geopolitical factors led to an increase in market risk aversion. The reduction of future production expectations of key mines and the potential mismatch of global inventories were expected to limit the adjustment space of copper prices, and copper prices might continue to rebound in the short term. [6][7] - For aluminum, the LME aluminum price fluctuated narrowly during the Spring Festival. The macro - environment was neutral to positive. In the short term, the weak supply - demand seasonality might suppress the aluminum price, but the medium - to - long - term outlook was positive due to factors such as expected Fed easing, potential production cuts in Mozambique, and consumption growth. [8][9] - For zinc, the macro - environment was uncertain, and the re - emergence of AI concerns put pressure on the market. The unclear situation in the Middle East might affect raw material supply, but the Spring Festival inventory accumulation was a pressure. It was expected that the Shanghai zinc would be under pressure. [10][11] - For lead, the increase in LME inventory, the rebound of the US dollar, and the lack of demand during the Spring Festival put pressure on the lead price. It was expected that the Shanghai lead would be under pressure and volatile after opening. [12] - For tin, the US tariff policy and the uncertainty of the US - Iran nuclear negotiation added macro - variables. The Spring Festival inventory accumulation and slow recovery of downstream demand were pressures, but the slow recovery of tin ore supply in Myanmar and Indonesia's resource protection policy supported the price. It was expected that the Shanghai tin would fluctuate after the holiday. [13][14] - For steel products, during the holiday, the steel mills maintained production, and the inventory accumulated. The daily inventory accumulation rate of rebar during the Spring Festival was the lowest in the past five years. It was expected that the inventory inflection point would appear in about 4 weeks, and the steel prices would oscillate at a low level in the short term. [15] - For iron ore, during the holiday, the overseas iron ore supply increased, while the demand was weak. It was expected that the iron ore price would oscillate weakly in the short term. [16] - For coking coal and coke, during the Spring Festival, the coking coal market was in a "rest period" with weak supply and demand, and the prices were expected to oscillate in the short term. [17] - For soybean meal and rapeseed meal, during the Spring Festival, the CBOT US soybeans oscillated. The new - season US soybean planting area was expected to increase, and the soybean crushing demand was good. It was expected that the Dalian soybean meal would oscillate in the short term. [18][20] - For palm oil, during the Spring Festival, the BMD Malaysian palm oil and CBOT US soybean oil prices rose. The production of Malaysian palm oil decreased in mid - and early February, and the export demand decline narrowed slightly. It was expected that the palm oil would stop falling and oscillate in the short term. [21][22] 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - On February 25, 2026, the platinum and palladium prices on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange rose significantly. The platinum main contract rose 7.03% to 586.0 yuan/gram, and the palladium main contract rose 4.50% to 457.95 yuan/gram. The uncertainty of US tariffs and the unclear situation in the US-Iran relationship led to the continuous fermentation of market risk - aversion sentiment, driving up the prices of platinum and palladium [3]. 3. Summary by Related Contents Platinum - **Main Logic**: The US Supreme Court's ruling on February 20 that the US President has no authority to impose large - scale tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, along with the escalating US - Iran tensions, has increased market risk - aversion sentiment. Zimbabwe's suspension of all raw ore and lithium concentrate exports may increase short - term supply concerns, further boosting platinum prices. However, since Zimbabwe mainly exports platinum and palladium in unforged or semi - manufactured forms rather than raw ore, the policy is expected to have little impact on the actual supply of platinum - group metals. In the long run, the US is still in an interest - rate cutting cycle, and the weakening of the US dollar's credit due to the damage to the Fed's independence and the loosening of the global political and economic order is conducive to the long - term release of platinum price elasticity [4]. - **Outlook**: The price of platinum is expected to be volatile and strong in the medium and long term, considering the healthy supply - demand fundamentals and positive macro expectations [4]. Palladium - **Main Logic**: There is continuous uncertainty on the supply side of palladium. On February 10, the US Department of Commerce issued a preliminary anti - dumping ruling on unforged palladium imported from Russia, with a tariff rate of 132.83%. The market's expectation of palladium tariffs has resurfaced, and Europe is also considering a new round of sanctions on Russian - produced palladium. The supply disruption continues, and the tight spot market supports the price. On the demand side, palladium still faces structural pressure. In general, although the long - term supply and demand is expected to be loose, the short - term spot shortage and the Fed's interest - rate cutting expectation provide clear support for the price [5]. - **Outlook**: The price of palladium is expected to be volatile and strong in the medium and long term, due to the spot shortage and the improvement of the macro - environment [5]. Index Information - **Special Indexes**: On February 25, 2026, the commodity index was 2431.43, up 0.56%; the commodity 20 index was 2783.62, up 0.64%; the industrial products index was 2314.55, up 0.63% [52]. - **Sector Index - Non - ferrous Metals Index**: On February 25, 2026, the non - ferrous metals index was 2710.08. The daily increase was 0.54%, the increase in the past 5 days was 0.57%, the decrease in the past month was 2.99%, and the increase since the beginning of the year was 0.90% [54].
