Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Report Core Viewpoints - Short - term, the stock index may continue a relatively strong trend, but attention should be paid to the impact of overseas geopolitical events on market risk appetite. In the long - term, the stock index is expected to rise in 2026 based on 2025 [1]. - Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has recently warned of interest - rate risks, and attention should be paid to the Bank of Japan's interest - rate decision [1]. - Different commodities have various trends, including price increases, oscillations, and potential reversals, with corresponding investment strategies recommended [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - Short - term, the stock index may continue to be strong, and in the long - term (2026), it is expected to rise on the basis of 2025 due to factors like continuous policy efforts, inflation recovery, capital market reform, and the support of Central Huijin [1]. - Asset shortage and weak economy benefit bond futures, but the central bank warns of interest - rate risks, and the Bank of Japan's interest - rate decision should be watched [1]. Metals Non - ferrous Metals - Copper: The price has further increased due to weak industry fundamentals but positive macro sentiment and continuous premium. However, short - term adjustment risks should be guarded against, and the upward trend is expected to continue [1]. - Aluminum: Domestic electrolytic aluminum has accumulated inventory, but positive macro sentiment and the early fermentation of supply - tightness expectations are likely to keep the price strong [1]. - Alumina: The supply side has a large release space, and the weak industry fundamentals put pressure on the price. However, the current price is near the cost line, so it is expected to oscillate [1]. - Zinc: The fundamentals have improved, the cost center has moved up, recent negative factors have been mostly realized, and market sentiment is volatile, leading to price oscillations [1]. - Nickel: Positive macro sentiment, concerns about supply due to Indonesian events, slow inventory accumulation, and unconfirmed Indonesian policies are likely to keep the short - term price strong. It is recommended to go long at low prices and control risks [1]. - Stainless Steel: Positive macro sentiment, concerns about raw - material supply, a rebound in nickel - iron prices, a slight reduction in social inventory, and an increase in January production plans are likely to keep the short - term futures price strong. It is recommended to go long at low prices, and enterprises should wait for opportunities to sell and hedge [1]. - Tin: The industry association's initiative has put pressure on the price, but considering the tense situation in Congo - Kinshasa, the supply may still be affected. After a short - term decline, the downward space is limited, and low - long opportunities near the support level are recommended [1]. - Precious Metals: Geopolitical risks and international - order uncertainties have boosted the demand for hedging, making the price strong in the short - term. However, the high VIX of silver indicates potential risks. Platinum and palladium are expected to fluctuate widely in the short - term, and platinum can be bought at low prices or a [long - platinum short - palladium] arbitrage strategy can be adopted in the long - term [1]. Black Metals - Iron Ore: There is a combination of weak reality (weak direct demand, high supply, and inventory accumulation) and strong expectation (potential supply disturbances from energy - consumption control and anti - involution). The near - month contract is restricted by production cuts, while the far - month contract has upward potential [1]. - Steel (including Rebar): The valuation of the price is not high, and it is not recommended to short. Positions in cash - and - carry arbitrage can take rolling profits [1]. - Glass: Supply and demand are acceptable, and the valuation is low, so the downward space is limited, and it may be under pressure to oscillate [1]. - Soda Ash: It follows the trend of glass, with acceptable supply and demand, low valuation, and limited downward space, and may oscillate under pressure [1]. - Coking Coal: The fourth - round spot price cut has started. After the futures price dropped to the corresponding position and rebounded, attention should be paid to whether it can reach a new low during the implementation of the price cut. There is a high possibility of wide - range oscillations [1]. - Coke: The logic is the same as that of coking coal [1]. Energy and Chemicals - Crude Oil: OPEC + has suspended production increases until the end of 2026, the uncertainty of the Russia - Ukraine peace agreement, and US sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports have an impact on the price [1]. - Fuel Oil: The short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and it follows the trend of crude oil. The probability of the 14th Five - Year Plan's rush - work demand is falsified, the supply of Marey crude oil is sufficient, and the asphalt profit is high [1]. - Asphalt: The cost is strongly supported, the spot - futures price difference is low, and the mid - stream inventory may tend to accumulate [1]. - Rubber: For natural rubber, the mid - stream inventory may tend to accumulate, and the price oscillates. For BR rubber, the futures position has declined, the price increase has slowed down, the processing profit is gradually repaired, it maintains high - level operation in terms of production and inventory, and the spot trading is weak [1]. - PTA: The PX market has experienced a sharp increase, and the domestic PTA maintains high - level operation, benefiting from stable domestic demand and the recovery of exports to India since the end of November [1]. - MEG: Two sets of MEG devices in Taiwan, China, are planned to stop production due to efficiency reasons. The price has rebounded rapidly due to supply - side news, and the downstream polyester operating rate is over 90%, with better - than - expected demand [1]. - Short - fiber: The price continues to fluctuate closely following the cost [1]. - Styrene: The Asian styrene market is generally stable. Suppliers are reluctant to reduce prices due to continuous losses, while buyers keep pressing prices due to weak downstream demand and profit compression. The market is in a weak - balance state, and the short - term upward momentum depends on overseas market drive [1]. - Steam: The upward space is limited due to insufficient domestic demand, but there is support from anti - involution and the cost side [1]. - Propylene: The supply pressure is large, the downstream improvement is less than expected, the cost is strongly supported by high - level propylene monomers and rising crude - oil prices, and there is a risk of rising crude - oil prices due to intensified geopolitical conflicts [1]. - PVC: The global production in 2026 is expected to be low, but currently, new capacity is being released, the supply pressure is increasing, and the demand is weak [1]. - Chlorine: The inventory pressure in Shandong is large, the supply pressure is high due to high - level operation and few overhauls, the non - aluminum demand is in the off - season, and the cost support is weakened by the rising price of liquid chlorine [1]. - LPG: The January CP has risen unexpectedly, providing strong cost - end support. Geopolitical conflicts in the US, Venezuela, and the Middle East have increased the short - term risk premium. The EIA weekly C3 inventory is in an accumulation trend, with a temporary slowdown in overseas demand. The domestic PDH maintains high - level operation but is deeply in deficit, and the overseas olefin blending - oil demand is acceptable [1]. New Energy and Silicon Industry - Polysilicon: There is production increase in the northwest and decrease in the southwest. The December production plan has decreased. A capacity storage platform company has been established, with a long - term expectation of capacity reduction. The terminal installation in the fourth quarter has increased marginally. Large enterprises are willing to support the price but not to deliver. The short - term speculative sentiment is high [1]. - Lithium Carbonate: It is the traditional peak season for new - energy vehicles, the energy - storage demand is strong, the supply - side production resumption has increased, and the price has risen rapidly in the short - term [1]. Agricultural Products - Palm Oil: The MPOB December data is expected to be negative, but it may reverse under themes such as seasonal production reduction, the B50 policy, and US biodiesel. If the price gaps up due to geopolitical events, short - selling can be considered [1]. - Soybean Oil: It follows the trend of other oils in the short - term, and waiting for the January USDA report is recommended [1]. - Rapeseed Oil: News of blocked trader purchases and Australian seed imports has led to a large rebound in the single - side price and the 1 - 5 spread, but it is difficult to change the subsequent loosening of the fundamental situation. A decline in sentiment is expected, and short - selling on rebounds can be considered [1]. - Cotton: The domestic new - crop harvest is expected to be good, but the purchase price of seed cotton supports the cost of lint. The downstream operation rate remains low, but the yarn - mill inventory is not high, with rigid restocking demand. The cotton market is currently in a situation of "having support but no driver", and attention should be paid to factors such as the central government's No. 1 Document in the first quarter of next year, planting - area intentions, weather during the planting period, and peak - season demand [1]. - Sugar: There is a global surplus and a large supply of domestic new - crop sugar, with a strong consensus on short - selling. If the futures price continues to fall, the cost support is strong, but the short - term fundamentals lack continuous driving forces, and attention should be paid to changes in the capital side [1]. - Corn: The grass - roots grain - selling progress is relatively fast, the current port and downstream inventory levels are still low, and most traders have not started strategic inventory building. The spot price is expected to be strong in the short - term, and the futures price is expected to have limited decline and then maintain an oscillating and strengthening trend [1]. - Soybeans: Attention should be paid to the adjustment in the January USDA report and the impact of Brazilian harvest selling pressure on CNF premiums. The M05 contract is expected to be relatively weak, while the M03 - M05 spread is expected to be in a positive - arbitrage situation in the short - term, but caution should be exercised due to potential changes in customs policies, soybean auctions, and directional policies [1]. - Pulp: The 05 contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 5400 - 5700 yuan/ton due to the tug - of - war between "strong supply" and "weak demand" [1]. - Logs: The spot price has shown signs of bottom - rebounding, and the downward space of the futures price is limited. However, the January overseas quotation has slightly declined, and there is a lack of upward - driving factors in the spot - futures market. It is expected to oscillate in the range of 760 - 790 yuan/m³ [1]. Livestock - Hogs: The spot price has gradually stabilized recently, with demand support. The slaughter weight has not been fully cleared, and the production capacity still needs to be further released [1].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the overcapacity situation of industrial silicon is expected to continue, but policy - end regulation will have a guiding effect. Production is expected to increase slightly by 3%, with overall demand increasing by about 5%. The mainstream price range is expected to be between 7,600 yuan/ton and 9,400 yuan/ton, and factors such as capacity optimization, enterprise dynamic production adjustment, and upward price transmission in the photovoltaic industry chain should be focused on [3][94]. - Compared with industrial silicon, polysilicon has greater variability. Currently, polysilicon has overcapacity and high inventory, but policy - based storage and price - support from leading enterprises provide strong support, driving up the prices of downstream silicon wafers and solar cells and contributing to the profit recovery of the photovoltaic industry. In 2026, it still faces the challenge of declining terminal demand. Policy implementation (energy - consumption regulations + platform - based storage) will have a significant impact on polysilicon prices. Capacity elimination and optimization are relatively certain events, and with the increasing concentration of production enterprises' capacity, polysilicon is generally "prone to rise but difficult to fall". It is recommended to conduct risk - hedging based on production conditions [4][97]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. Review of Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market in 2025 (1) Industrial Silicon Futures - The price trend in 2025 can be divided into three stages: continued decline from 2024 until early June, a rebound from early June to mid - July, and a consolidation period from August to the end of the year. The price dropped to a minimum of 6,990 yuan/ton in early June, with a decline of 36.5% from the beginning of the year, then rebounded to a maximum of 10,060 yuan/ton in mid - July, a 43.9% increase from the early - June low. The market entered a state of "subtle balance" later, with supply and demand both decreasing, high inventory but slight destocking, and reduced trading volume [7][10][11]. - In terms of the basis, the basis was relatively low in the first quarter. It reached the annual high in the second quarter as the futures price declined rapidly. In the third and fourth quarters, the basis was mainly driven by the futures price, with the spot price being 400 - 800 yuan/ton higher than the futures price, showing an obvious inverse market pattern [14]. (2) Polysilicon Futures - The price trend in 2025 can be divided into four stages: a calm period during the "rush - installation wave" from the beginning of the year to early April; a decline due to oversupply from early April to mid - late June, with the price dropping to a minimum of 30,400 yuan/ton, a 30% decline; a price increase boosted by the "anti - involution" policy from late June to late July, with the price reaching a maximum of 55,605 yuan/ton, an 83% increase in one month; and a high - level consolidation period from early August to the end of the year under the contradiction of "weak supply - demand vs. strong policy". The futures price fluctuated in the range of 48,000 - 56,000 yuan/ton, and reached a maximum of 61,985 yuan/ton after the establishment of the storage platform [15][18][20]. - The basis was relatively stable from January to April, around - 4,000 yuan/ton, then converged as the price fluctuated. From late July to mid - September, the futures price was higher than the spot price. The basis gradually widened from late October and exceeded - 10,000 yuan/ton by the end of the year [21]. 2. Industrial Silicon Market Analysis (1) Capacity - In 2026, the effective capacity is expected to decline. The domestic industrial silicon capacity at the end of 2025 was 7.879 million tons. It is expected that 400,000 - 500,000 tons of new capacity will be added in 2026, while some capacity (mainly in Sichuan and Yunnan) will continue to be phased out, and the supply center will shift northward. The domestic industrial silicon capacity in 2026 is expected to be 8 - 8.2 million tons, with the effective capacity below 7.5 million tons [23]. - In 2025, the domestic industrial silicon capacity continued to expand. By November 2025, the capacity was 7.879 million tons, with an increase of 600,000 tons during the year, including 400,000 tons of newly - put - into - operation capacity and about 200,000 tons of restarted idle capacity. The incremental capacity mainly came from Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Gansu [24]. - Policy impact on industrial silicon is relatively limited. The "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalog (2024 Edition)" requires the elimination of certain types of furnaces, but the proportion of affected capacity is small (about 5% or 400,000 tons, mostly already shut down). The "anti - involution" policy has a limited impact on industrial silicon, and production is more affected by profit factors. As capacity further concentrates in the northern regions, the effect of joint production cuts by large enterprises is expected to improve [25][28]. - For new capacity in 2026, it is expected to be 400,000 - 500,000 tons. There are currently about 200,000 tons of completed but un - put - into - operation capacity (expected to be put into production in the first half of 2026) and 700,000 tons under construction (expected to be put into production in batches). The new capacity is highly concentrated in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, accounting for 80%, and the project commissioning time will be concentrated in the first half of the year and the third quarter [29][33]. (2) Production - In 2025, the domestic industrial silicon production was about 4.27 million tons, a 12.8% year - on - year decrease, and the annual capacity utilization rate was about 54%. The production in the northern regions increased, with Xinjiang accounting for 52% of the total production from January to November 2025, and the four northern provinces (Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, and Ningxia) accounting for 81%, while Sichuan and Yunnan together accounted for less than 17% [34][37]. - The output of substitute products decreased. The output of 97 - silicon was expected to be about 110,000 tons in 2025, a 73% year - on - year decrease, and the output of recycled silicon was 180,000 tons, a 28% year - on - year decrease [41]. (3) Demand 1: Organic Silicon - In 2025, the production of organic silicon was basically flat. The cumulative production of domestic organic silicon DMC and other polysiloxanes in 2025 was expected to reach 2.72 million tons, almost the same as in 2024. The domestic consumption was 2.2 million tons, and the export was 203,200 tons, showing a tight balance with a slight surplus. The DMC price is currently in the range of 13,500 - 14,000 yuan/ton, and the profitability of enterprises has been significantly restored [44][47]. - In 2026, the organic silicon industry is also facing overcapacity, with no new device plans. Production or maintenance will be adjusted according to downstream demand. The downstream demand is relatively scattered, and the future growth points may be in smart wear and new energy. It is expected that the demand will increase slightly by 1 - 3% [47]. (4) Demand 2: Aluminum Alloy - In 2025, the price of aluminum alloy showed a volatile and upward - trending pattern, and the price center increased in line with the price of primary aluminum. The cumulative production of domestic aluminum alloy from January to November 2025 was 17.456 million tons, a 15.8% year - on - year increase, and the annual production is expected to exceed 18 million tons, reaching a new high. The driving factors include the booming demand for new - energy vehicles, the accelerated release of recycled aluminum capacity, technological upgrades, and policy support [49][50]. - In 2026, the production of aluminum alloy is expected to continue to grow steadily by more than 10%. The main supporting factors include the implementation of "two new" policies in the new - energy vehicle sector, the increasing demand for aluminum alloy in energy storage and 5G fields, the possible supply shortage of recycled aluminum, and the gradual reaching of full production capacity by leading enterprises [54]. (5) Import and Export - In 2025, China's industrial silicon exports were expected to be 746,000 tons, a slight increase from the previous year. Overseas markets mainly purchase on demand, and exports in 2026 are expected to remain stable with limited growth [56]. (6) Cost and Profit - Electricity and silicon - coal account for about 75% of the total raw material cost of industrial silicon, and the price of coal has a higher correlation with the price of industrial silicon. Cost and profit are the main references for enterprises to adjust production [58]. - In the long - term, the electricity cost has a downward trend, but the regional and enterprise - level cost differences will increase. In 2026, the electricity price in low - price regions such as Xinjiang, Gansu, and Shandong is expected to decline, while in high - price regions such as Shanghai, Anhui, and Guangdong, it will be more resilient. The electricity price in intermediate regions such as Yunnan, Jiangxi, and Hebei South Grid will be stable [61][62]. - The price of silicon - coal has a significant impact on cost changes. The price increase of coal in early June 2025 boosted the price of industrial silicon [63]. 3. Polysilicon Market Analysis (1) 2025: Continued Overcapacity - From 2022 to 2024, the domestic polysilicon capacity expanded nearly six times. In 2025, the domestic polysilicon capacity was expected to be 3.32 million tons, with an effective capacity of 3.123 million tons, a 10.5% year - on - year increase. The production was expected to be 1.33 million tons, a 26% year - on - year decrease, and the annual capacity utilization rate was about 40% [64][67]. - In terms of demand, the domestic silicon wafer production in 2025 was 649 GW, and the consumption of polysilicon was about 1.23 million tons. With exports of 23,500 tons and imports of 19,000 tons, the domestic polysilicon market still had overcapacity, but the surplus was narrower than in 2023 and 2024 [71]. (2) Supply - For capacity changes in 2026, it can be analyzed from three aspects: project planning, energy - consumption regulations, and platform - based storage. It is expected that more than 400,000 tons of new capacity will be put into production by the end of 2026 [72]. - Energy - consumption regulations will adjust the polysilicon capacity. About 450,000 tons of existing capacity may not meet the new energy - consumption standards and will be phased out, and some capacity needs to be technically upgraded. After the implementation of the new standards, the domestic effective polysilicon capacity is expected to drop to about 2.4 million tons per year [72]. - The storage platform "Beijing Guanghe Qiancheng Technology Co., Ltd." was registered in December 2025. It plans to adopt a dual - track operation mode of "debt - assumption acquisition + flexible capacity storage" to optimize the capacity structure. The goal is to shut down 1 - 1.2 million tons of capacity and retain 1.5 million tons of effective capacity [72][73]. - The supply in 2026 largely depends on policy - end regulation, and it is preliminarily estimated that the supply will be between 1.4 - 1.5 million tons [77]. (3) Demand - In 2025, the nominal capacity of each link in the photovoltaic industry chain was high, but the actual production was affected by weak demand and industry self - regulation. The production of polysilicon decreased for the first time in 12 years, the growth rate of silicon wafer and module production slowed down, and the capacity investment in solar cells continued to grow [78][79]. - In 2026, global photovoltaic installation will benefit from energy transformation, emerging market development, and policy support. However, the demand in China, the United States, and Europe is expected to remain stable or decline. The demand for domestic polysilicon should not be overly optimistic due to factors such as the loss of downstream products, the possible reduction of domestic installation after the subsidy withdrawal, and the restriction of exports by other countries. The demand for polysilicon is estimated to range from 1.32 - 1.58 million tons under different installation scenarios [83][84]. (4) Inventory - As of the end of December 2025, the total inventory of polysilicon was 523,000 tons, reaching a recent high. The inventory of silicon wafers, solar cells, and modules was in a relatively normal state, but the module inventory showed a cumulative trend in the second half of the year [86]. - It is expected that the polysilicon inventory will remain high in the first quarter of 2026 and may increase further. It will decline in the second and third quarters as demand recovers and the installation season arrives, and enter a stable period in the fourth quarter [88]. (5) Cost - The cost of polysilicon is mainly composed of electricity, silicon powder, and other raw materials, with electricity accounting for about 50%. The "anti - involution" policy in 2025 prohibited selling below cost [89]. - There are differences in the calculation basis of polysilicon cost between market participants and production enterprises. In 2026, with the progress of the industrial storage platform, the concentration of production will further increase, and it will play a leading role in guiding the cost and price of polysilicon, which is an important bottom - support for the price [90]. 4. Summary: Supply - Demand Structure and Strategy Suggestions for Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon in 2026 (1) Industrial Silicon - In 2026, the overcapacity of industrial silicon is expected to continue, but policy regulation will guide production to increase slightly by 3% and demand to increase by about 5%. The mainstream price range is expected to be 7,600 - 9,400 yuan/ton, and factors such as capacity optimization, enterprise production adjustment, and price transmission in the photovoltaic industry chain should be focused on [94]. (2) Polysilicon - Polysilicon has greater variability. Currently, it has overcapacity and high inventory, but policy - based storage and price - support from leading enterprises provide strong support. In 2026, it faces the challenge of declining terminal demand, and policy implementation will have a significant impact on prices. Capacity elimination and optimization are certain events, and polysilicon is generally "prone to rise but difficult to fall". It is recommended to conduct risk - hedging based on production conditions [97][98].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The overall valuation of the industrial silicon industry is neutral, and there are structural opportunities in the low - valuation area [3][47] - The polysilicon industry is still policy - dominated, and its development is affected by policy implementation and dynamic adjustment [5] Core Views of the Report - In 2025, the industrial silicon industry featured "costs first decreasing then increasing, stable production growth, differentiated regional开工率, and prominent over - capacity". In 2026, the supply - demand balance will remain loose, with over - capacity as the core issue [1][3] - In 2025, the polysilicon industry was strongly affected by policies, showing characteristics of "ineffective pricing mechanism, production recovery in the second half of the year, and demand fluctuating with the photovoltaic industry chain". In 2026, it may show a situation of "increasing supply and decreasing demand" [2][5] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: View Summary 1.1 Summary - **Industrial Silicon**: In 2025, costs first decreased due to lower raw material prices in the first half and then increased as coal prices rose in the second half. Production increased steadily, with开工率 showing regional and phased differences. Exports were weakly stable, with an estimated volume of 70 - 74 tons [1] - **Polysilicon**: In 2025, the pricing mechanism was ineffective. Production recovered in the second half, and demand was "high in the front and low in the back" affected by the "531 rush - to - install wave". After the anti - involution policy in June, profits rebounded, and the industry's production enthusiasm was boosted [2] 1.2 Future Outlook - **Industrial Silicon**: In 2026, the supply - demand balance will remain loose, with an expected supply growth rate of about 4.3% and a demand growth rate of about 5%. Attention should be paid to cost and price changes and the risk of short - term supply - demand mismatches [3] - **Polysilicon**: In 2026, it may show a "supply increase and demand decrease" situation, with a supply growth rate of about 3.7% and a demand growth rate of about - 10%.
