1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - In the first week of March, after the Lantern Festival, the resumption of work accelerated further. However, the low - temperature and snowy weather in the north affected the start - up and resumption of work. The labor attendance rate was still strong year - on - year, indicating that major project investments in March might be building up momentum [3][32]. - In terms of inflation, food prices continued to decline after the Spring Festival. In terms of exports, due to geopolitical factors, fuel prices rose significantly, shipping capacity was affected, and container shipping prices generally increased significantly. In terms of investment, the social inventory of rebar continued to accumulate, the price weakened slightly, the downstream procurement demand was released orderly, and the physical work volume indicators had not yet stabilized significantly. In the real estate sector, the transactions of new and second - hand houses continued to rise, but the year - on - year increase in the lunar calendar decreased [3][32]. - For the bond market, the peak season starts in March. Due to the concentrated impact of work resumption this month and the possible sprint effect of the economy at the end of the quarter, an improvement in high - frequency data can be expected. This week, under the influence of the escalation of the US - Iran situation, energy prices such as crude oil rose significantly, intensifying market concerns about inflation. The cost of export container shipping prices also began to rise, and attention should be paid to the short - term suppression and fluctuations of shipping price changes on export demand. Domestically, the economic targets and policy combinations of the Two Sessions basically met expectations, the target growth rate was adjusted to a more neutral and reasonable range, and the probability of marginal stimulus decreased relatively. In addition, the PMI in February announced this week further declined due to the Spring Festival holiday, but it should be noted that in years when the Spring Festival falls in the middle or late February, the PMI in March often rebounds significantly, and the price sub - item last month was not weak. Short - term attention should continue to be paid to the evolution of inflation expectations [3][32]. 3. Summary According to the Directory (1) Inflation - related: Food prices are accelerating downward - The average wholesale price of pork in the country decreased by 3.9% week - on - week, and the vegetable price decreased by 4.1% week - on - week.

Overall, the resumption of work this year is relatively fast, and the year - on - year performance is still not weak under the influence of the Spring Festival misalignment [9]. - The BDI and CDFI indices accelerated upward. Affected by the US - Iran conflict, international fuel prices rose significantly, the ship operating cost increased, driving the daily rent and freight rates in the international dry bulk shipping market to rise significantly across the board.

The price of thermal coal (Q5500) at Qinhuangdao Port increased by 1.9% week - on - week, with the same increase as the previous week.

The spot price of rebar (HRB400 20mm) decreased by 0.1% week - on - week, and the social inventory of rebar increased by 12.4% week - on - week, continuing to accumulate at a relatively fast pace.

This week, the average price of copper in the Yangtze River Non - ferrous Metals market decreased by 0.4% week - on - week. The continued escalation of the US - Iran conflict led to a risk of energy supply disruption, suppressing market risk appetite and increasing risk - aversion sentiment, causing the copper price to decline week - on - week [18]. - The glass price remained stable, and downstream demand still needed to be repaired. This week, the glass market price was basically stable, the production and sales performance was average, the inventory in various places was still accumulating, the downstream procurement demand had not fully recovered, and the upward momentum of the spot price was limited.

As of March 6th, the prices of Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil increased by 27.9% and 35.6% respectively week - on - week compared with last Friday, showing an accelerating upward trend.
