The photovoltaic glass market is in a "weak - stable" state, and the long - term overcapacity problem remains [109][110][112]. - **Summary**: The soda ash market is facing a structural imbalance. The key to solving the problem lies in expanding exports and accelerating the clearance of backward production capacity [113].

The concentrate supply is tight, and downstream demand is mixed. Copper prices may enter an adjustment phase [21]. - **Zinc**: Zinc prices rose 0.84% at night.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - Overseas macro: Kevin Warsh's nomination as a candidate for the new Fed Chair is expected to have limited impact on the market. His policy stance on quantitative tightening may be difficult to implement. The market's expectations for the US monetary policy path are unlikely to change significantly, and investors should also monitor the US-Iran situation and the US government shutdown [9]. - Domestic macro: The domestic market is expected to continue with positive policy expectations. In Q1, there is a growing expectation that policies will be intensified to achieve a good start for the economy in the 15th Five-Year Plan. The overall policy environment is favorable, which supports a bullish view on risk assets in Q1 [9]. - Asset views: Structured opportunities in portfolio allocation are emphasized. It is recommended to overweight IC and non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, tin). The domestic policy expectations, loose liquidity, and inflation recovery expectations can support the upward movement of the equity market. Treasury bonds are neutral, with better short - end opportunities but limited odds. The precious metals sector has high short - term volatility, and it is recommended to wait for volatility to decline. Non - ferrous metals are relatively strong and can be considered for right - side allocation after a pullback.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current oil price has risen and priced in a high geopolitical premium. In the short term, the supply gap caused by Iran's supply disruption still exists. Considering the expected over - performance of Venezuela's production increase and OPEC's subsequent production recovery, the current oil price should be taken profit at high levels, and the main operation idea should be mid - term layout [2]. - For methanol, it is believed that it does not contain a high geopolitical premium, and the price has support below. Those who shorted earlier can take profit at low levels [5]. - Regarding urea, the current situation of internal and external price differences has opened the import window. Coupled with the expected recovery of production at the end of January, the fundamental outlook is bearish, so it is recommended to short at high levels [7]. - For rubber, the short - term price is determined by capital and has a low correlation with fundamentals. The price is expected to fluctuate significantly following the commodity market. It is recommended to trade short - term on the market, set stop - losses, enter and exit quickly, and strictly control risks. The strategy of buying the main contract of NR and shorting RU2609 can resume building positions [9][12]. - For PVC, the comprehensive profit of enterprises is at a neutral - to - low level. The supply reduction is small, and the production is at a historical high. Domestic demand is entering the off - season, and the demand is under pressure. The cancellation of export tax rebates has spurred short - term export rush, which is the only short - term fundamental support. The overall situation is that supply exceeds demand in China, and the fundamentals are poor. Short - term factors such as electricity price expectations, capacity clearance expectations, and export rush sentiment support PVC. Attention should be paid to subsequent changes in capacity and production [15]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the spot and futures prices of pure benzene have declined, and the basis has widened. The spot price of styrene has risen, and the futures price has declined, and the basis has strengthened. The non - integrated profit of styrene is currently at a relatively high level, and the upward valuation repair space is shrinking. The supply of pure benzene is still abundant, and the port inventory of styrene has continued to accumulate significantly. It is recommended to gradually take profit [18][19]. - For polyethylene, the futures price has declined. OPEC+ plans to suspend production growth in the first quarter of 2026, and the oil price may have bottomed out. The spot price of polyethylene has not changed, and there is still room for PE valuation to decline. The coal - based inventory has been significantly reduced, which supports the price. It is the off - season, and the demand side is weak [21][22]. - For polypropylene, the futures price has declined. The EIA monthly report predicts a slight reduction in global oil inventories, and the supply surplus may ease. There is no capacity expansion plan in the first half of 2026, and the supply pressure has been relieved. The downstream production rate fluctuates seasonally. The overall inventory pressure is high, and there is no prominent short - term contradiction. It is recommended to go long on the PP5 - 9 spread at low levels [23][24]. - For PX, the current load is at a high level, and the downstream PTA has many maintenance plans, with a low overall load center. It is expected to maintain an inventory accumulation pattern before the maintenance season. The valuation center has risen, and the short - term profit is also high. The supply - demand structure of both PX and downstream PTA is strong after the Spring Festival, and the medium - term outlook is good. It is recommended to follow the oil price and go long at low levels [25][26]. - For PTA, the supply side maintains a high maintenance rate in the short term, and the demand side of polyester and chemical fiber is affected by the off - season, with the load gradually decreasing. PTA enters the inventory accumulation stage during the Spring Festival. The processing fee has increased significantly, with a large proportion of expected factors. There is a risk of processing fee callback in the short term, but there is still room for valuation increase after the Spring Festival. It is recommended to go long at low levels and pay attention to the rhythm [28][29]. - For ethylene glycol, the overall load is still relatively high, and the import volume in February is expected to remain high. The port inventory accumulation cycle will continue. There is an expectation of further profit compression and production reduction under the pressure of inventory accumulation and high production. The current valuation is neutral - to - low, and there is a risk of rebound due to the tense situation in Iran and the rebound of coal prices [31][32].

Core Viewpoint - The liquidity crisis is intensifying market volatility, accelerating the repricing of major asset classes, while global equities and commodities may still present performance opportunities. The recommendation is to overweight AH shares, US stocks, crude oil, and industrial commodities in February [1][2]. Group 1: Strategic Asset Allocation Framework - The company has developed an "all-weather" asset allocation framework consisting of Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA), Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA), and Major Event Review Adjustments to guide investment decisions [2]. - SAA aims to diversify macro risks and set long-term allocation benchmarks to ensure portfolio robustness, while TAA uses quantitative methods to identify assets with superior short-term risk-return characteristics and adjusts portfolio weights accordingly [2]. - The final step involves subjective review of major events to calibrate and supplement quantitative results [2]. Group 2: Equity Asset Recommendations - Multiple factors support the performance of Chinese equities, recommending an overweight in A/H shares. The upcoming economic work conference and the expectation of further expansion in the broad deficit suggest a more proactive economic policy [3]. - The Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates in December, and the stable appreciation of the RMB provides favorable conditions for monetary easing in early 2026, enhancing market risk appetite [3]. - The "Goldilocks" scenario is emerging, favoring US stock performance, with the US economy showing resilience despite marginal cooling, and corporate earnings expectations potentially supporting upward movement in US stock indices [3]. Group 3: Bond Asset Recommendations - The recommended bond allocation weight for February 2026 is 35.00%, including long-term and short-term government bonds [4]. - Structural monetary policy may strengthen the allocation to government bonds, as the imbalance between financing demand and credit supply remains a reality, but the trend of rising risk appetite may lead to a rebalancing of asset allocations [4]. - The US economy is cooling but not stalling, with a moderate decline in the labor market and favorable conditions for reducing inflationary pressures, suggesting a potential decline in US Treasury yields [4]. Group 4: Commodity Asset Recommendations - The recommended commodity allocation weight for February 2026 is 12.50%, with an overweight in crude oil and industrial commodities [5]. - The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is intensifying, suggesting an overweight in crude oil, as global demand remains relatively weak, and OPEC+ has decided to continue production cuts [5]. - Demand expectations for industrial commodities are being revised upward, with structural demand driven by construction, electric grids, and electric vehicles, indicating a potential supply-demand imbalance for industrial metals like copper [5].
