1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the Iran - US conflict, crude oil prices are likely to fall. Geopolitical conflicts mainly cause short - term emotional premiums on oil prices, and the risk premium usually fades within a few weeks to 2 - 3 months. If the current conflict subsides quickly, Brent crude oil is likely to fall from the current high to the range of $62 - 73 per barrel [3][4]. - When crude oil prices fall, the crude oil chemical sector and futures will show a downward trend, with structural differentiation. Direct oil - chemical varieties will decline in sync with crude oil, while coal - chemical/light - hydrocarbon route varieties have stronger resistance to decline, and downstream processing links will see improved profitability [5][6]. - For stock index futures, it is expected that there will be further adjustments in the early trading session tomorrow, and it is recommended to adopt a strategy of shorting at high and buying at low for the time being. Gold is expected to continue with a slightly bullish and volatile trend. Iron ore is in a high - level wide - range oscillation, and the right - side signal is yet to come. Glass should be treated as wide - range oscillation before the upper pressure is broken. Methanol is in a high - level oscillation. Pulp futures are in an interval oscillation [7][11][12][16][18][20]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog I. After the Iran - US conflict, crude oil prices are likely to fall - Geopolitical conflicts on oil prices are mostly short - term emotional premiums rather than long - term trends. After most Middle - East geopolitical events, the crude oil risk premium will quickly be reversed within a few weeks to 2 - 3 months and return to the pricing based on supply - demand fundamentals [4]. - If the current conflict subsides quickly and the Strait of Hormuz resumes navigation, Brent crude oil is likely to fall from the current high to the range of $62 - 73 per barrel, and the geopolitical premium will fade. Only when there is a substantial long - term blockade or continuous interruption of supply in core oil - producing areas can oil prices remain high for a long time, but the probability of this scenario is currently low [4]. II. The trends of the crude oil chemical sector and futures when crude oil prices fall - The crude oil chemical futures as a whole will follow the decline of crude oil but show structural differentiation. Direct oil - chemical varieties such as naphtha cracking, pure benzene, ethylene glycol, PTA, PP/PE will see weakened cost support and their prices will fall in sync with crude oil. The larger the previous increase, the more obvious the decline [5]. - Coal - chemical/light - hydrocarbon route varieties such as coal - based olefins and methanol have relatively independent costs, stronger resistance to decline, and a smaller decline compared with pure oil - chemical varieties. Downstream processing links such as plastic and rubber products will see relieved cost pressure, improved marginal profitability, and smoother price transmission [6]. III. Key influencing factors and rhythm - The speed of premium fading: The faster the conflict subsides, the steeper the decline of crude oil and chemical futures, and the main decline is usually completed within 1 - 4 weeks [6]. - Inventory and positions: The concentrated closing of previous profit - taking positions will amplify short - term fluctuations, and the market will gradually return to the supply - demand logic after the decline [6]. - Macroeconomics and supply - demand: If the global crude oil inventory rises, OPEC+ increases production, or strategic reserves are released, it will accelerate the decline of oil prices. If the demand side remains stable, the decline will be more moderate [6]. Technical Analysis - Stock index futures: It is expected that there will be further adjustments in the early trading session tomorrow, and it is recommended to adopt a strategy of shorting at high and buying at low for the time being. The Shanghai Composite Index is still within the 15 - minute oscillation range [7][8]. - Gold: Gold has stabilized in the daily - level oscillation. After a higher opening, it showed an oscillating trend throughout the day. It should be treated with a slightly bullish and volatile mindset in the future [11]. - Iron ore: Australia and Brazil's shipments maintain a normal rhythm. In the medium - to - long - term, it is in the period of mine production capacity release, and the expectation of loose supply still exists. The resumption of production of steel mills after the festival may have a certain driving effect, but the start of terminal demand still takes time. Attention should be paid to the influence of policy and sentiment. Technically, it is in a high - level wide - range oscillation, and the right - side signal is yet to come [12][13]. - Glass: The daily melting volume has declined slightly, and the inventory has been slightly reduced. Attention should be paid to the resumption progress of deep - processing enterprises after the festival. In the short term, it is more affected by the overall sentiment of commodities. Technically, it should be treated as wide - range oscillation before the upper pressure is broken [16][17]. - Methanol: Iran is China's largest source of methanol imports, accounting for over 70%. The obstruction of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the expected maintenance of Iranian facilities have led to a sharp increase in the expectation of import supply contraction, which is the core driver of this round of price increase. However, if the price remains high for a long time, terminal demand will be suppressed, forming a negative feedback. It should be treated as high - level oscillation [18]. - Pulp: The trading sentiment in the spot market is average. Domestic pulp enterprises' production is within the normal range, and the pulp output will not change much. The inventory in domestic ports has started to accumulate, and the pressure remains. The previously shut - down facilities of downstream paper mills are gradually resuming production, and the overall pulp consumption continues to rise. The futures market has shown an interval oscillation recently [20].

Geopolitical conflicts usually cause short - term emotional premiums in oil prices, and the risk premium will quickly be reversed within weeks to 2 - 3 months, and the price will return to be determined by supply - demand fundamentals. If the current conflict is quickly resolved and the Strait of Hormuz resumes navigation, Brent crude oil is likely to fall from its current high to the range of $62 - 73 per barrel [3][4]. - When crude oil prices fall, the crude oil chemical futures market will generally follow the decline, but there will be structural differentiation. Direct oil - chemical varieties will decline in sync with crude oil, while coal - chemical/light - hydrocarbon route varieties have stronger resistance to price drops, and the downstream processing sector will see improved profitability [5][6]. 3. Summary by Directory I. After the Iran - US conflict, crude oil prices are likely to fall - Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East usually lead to short - term emotional premiums in oil prices. After most Middle - East geopolitical events, the risk premium of crude oil will be quickly reversed within weeks to 2 - 3 months, and the price will return to be determined by supply - demand fundamentals. - If the current conflict is quickly resolved and the Strait of Hormuz resumes navigation, Brent crude oil is likely to fall from its current high to the range of $62 - 73 per barrel, and the geopolitical premium will disappear. - Only when there is a substantial long - term blockade or continuous interruption of supply in core oil - producing areas can oil prices remain high for a long time, but the probability of this scenario is currently low [3][4]. II. Trends of the crude oil chemical sector and futures when crude oil prices fall - Crude oil chemical futures will generally follow the decline of crude oil, but there will be structural differentiation. - Direct oil - chemical varieties (such as naphtha cracking, pure benzene, ethylene glycol, PTA, PP/PE) will see a weakening of cost support, and their prices will fall in sync with crude oil.

If the demand side remains stable, the decline will be more moderate [6]. IV. Technical analysis of various futures - **Stock index futures**: The market opened lower and closed higher today, with heavy trading volume at noon and finally closed with a mid -阳线. Technically, the 5 - minute adjustment is sufficient, and it is expected that there will be an upward trend in the early trading on Monday. It is recommended to go long on dips [8][9]. - **Gold**: The daily - level decline of gold has gradually stopped. Gold maintained a volatile trend throughout the day, and a bullish and volatile outlook is recommended for the future [12]. - **Iron ore**: The shipping from Australia and Brazil maintains a normal rhythm. In the medium - to - long term, it is in the period of mine production capacity release, and the supply is expected to be loose. On the demand side, steel mills will resume production after the holiday, which may have a certain driving effect, but the start of terminal demand still takes time. Technically, it is in a wide - range high - level shock, and the right - side signal still needs to wait [14][15]. - **Glass**: The daily melting has declined, and the inventory has slightly decreased. The resumption of work of deep - processing enterprises after the holiday needs to be monitored. In the short term, it is more affected by the overall sentiment of commodities. Technically, it should be regarded as a wide - range shock before the upper - level pressure is broken [17][18]. - **Methanol**: From the perspective of the industrial chain transmission mechanism, the current methanol price increase is "cost - driven". In the short term, downstream enterprises can digest cost pressure by raising prices, but if the price remains high for a long time, terminal demand will be suppressed, forming a negative feedback. It should be treated as a high - level shock [19]. - **Pulp**: The trading sentiment in the spot market is average. Domestic pulp mills are operating within the normal range, and the pulp output will not change much. The inventory in domestic ports has started to accumulate, and the pressure remains. Downstream paper mills' previously shut - down equipment has gradually resumed production, and the overall pulp consumption continues to rise. The futures market has shown a range - bound trend recently [21].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints - After the important meeting, steel production is expected to increase, with the output of blast furnace rebar and hot-rolled coils likely to rebound quickly. Pig iron production will rise, reaching over 2.3 million tons by the end of March to early April. The macro environment is relatively loose, and the trends of rebar and hot-rolled coils at the industrial level depend more on the quality of demand and the game between expectations and reality. It is expected that there is still room for an upward trend. For iron ore, short-term rumors may disrupt the market, but it should be viewed rationally. As pig iron production rebounds, the incremental demand for iron ore is relatively certain. Although port inventories have increased, steel mill inventories are low, and there is a high possibility of active restocking by steel mills later, with the inventory consumption ratio tending to decline. It is expected that the trend will still be bullish, but technically, it may fill the gap in the short term [1][2] Summary by Directory Market Review - On Friday, rebar, hot-rolled coils, and iron ore opened higher with a gap. RB2605 closed at 3142, up 0.58%. It closed down at night [1] Important Information - The draft report on the national economic and social development plan for 2026 was released, which mentioned continuing to promote the quality improvement, cost reduction, and carbon reduction actions in key industries in 2026, including strengthening capacity governance in key industries, promoting supply-demand balance and stability in key industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, petrochemicals, and chemicals, and orderly reducing the capacity of industries such as steel and refining [1] - According to data from the China Iron and Steel Association, in the first ten days of March 2026, key steel enterprises produced 20.11 million tons of crude steel, with an average daily output of 2.011 million tons, a 0.8% decrease from the previous ten days. The steel inventory was 17.81 million tons, a 2.7% increase from the previous ten days [1] - Last week, the total inventory of imported iron ore at 47 ports nationwide was 179.4732 million tons, a 524,900-ton increase from the previous week; the total inventory at 45 ports was 171.8752 million tons, a 696,600-ton increase from the previous week [1] - Last week, the total inventory of imported iron ore at steel mills nationwide was 89.291 million tons, a 824,700-ton decrease from the previous week [1] Market Logic - Last week, the production, inventory, and apparent demand of rebar all increased. The production increased significantly, with a weekly increase of 219,900 tons. The inventory continued to accumulate, but the accumulation speed slowed down significantly. The apparent demand of rebar increased by 785,800 tons, indicating that the demand for rebar has started. Overall, the current inventory pressure of rebar is not large [1] - For hot-rolled coils, the production last week was 2.9526 million tons, a 58,500-ton decrease from the previous week, and it has been declining for two consecutive weeks. The total inventory was 4.7159 million tons, a 1,000-ton decrease from the previous week. The factory inventory was 892,800 tons, a 8,000-ton decrease from the previous week, and the social inventory was 3.8231 million tons, a 7,000-ton increase from the previous week. The factory inventory decreased, and the social inventory increased slightly, with the total inventory remaining basically unchanged. The apparent demand was 2.9536 million tons, a 137,900-ton increase from the previous week, almost the same as the production, indicating a tight supply-demand balance for hot-rolled coils [1] - The daily pig iron production last week was 2.212 million tons, a 63,900-ton decrease from the previous week. The production limit during the Two Sessions was an important factor, and it will increase later [1] Trading Strategies - After the important meeting, steel production is expected to increase, and pig iron production will rise to over 2.3 million tons by the end of March to early April. The macro environment is relatively loose, and the trends of rebar and hot-rolled coils at the industrial level depend more on the quality of demand and the game between expectations and reality. It is expected that there is still room for an upward trend. For iron ore, short-term rumors may disrupt the market, but it should be viewed rationally. As pig iron production rebounds, the incremental demand for iron ore is relatively certain. Although port inventories have increased, steel mill inventories are low, and there is a high possibility of active restocking by steel mills later, with the inventory consumption ratio tending to decline. It is expected that the trend will still be bullish, but technically, it may fill the gap in the short term [1][2] - The support level for the rebar main contract is 3000, and the pressure level is 3200. The support level for the hot-rolled coil is 3180, and the pressure level is 3350. The support level for the iron ore main contract is 750, and the pressure level is 840 [2] - For single-sided trading, continue to hold long positions in steel and iron ore, and continuously raise the stop-loss line. For arbitrage, continue to hold the strategy of going long on the hot-rolled coil - rebar spread, with a suggested stop-loss level of 120 for the spread and a take-profit level of 200. The rebar - iron ore ratio has dropped below 4 and may continue to decline. Wait for trading opportunities to go long on the rebar - iron ore ratio [2]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Due to the war between the US, Israel and Iran disrupting Middle - East crude oil and raw material exports, Asian refineries and petrochemical enterprises are cutting production capacity and declaring force majeure. The mid - term focus is on three variables: the sustainability of geopolitical risk premium, supply - demand fundamentals, and policy implementation rhythm. It is recommended to trade within a range and avoid unilateral chasing [3][4]. - The stock market shows a pattern of strong index and weak stocks today, with little change in trading volume compared to yesterday. The small - cycle is at a high level, and there is a need for adjustment in the early trading tomorrow. The early - morning adjustment is a good low - buying opportunity [7]. - Gold's daily - level red - green line turns bearish. After a rally last night, it fell back again, and a high - shorting strategy should be adopted [9]. - For iron ore, although there is a supply surplus in the medium - to - long - term, the commodity sentiment is high recently, and a bullish view can be maintained [11][12]. - For glass, in the seasonal off - season, the factory inventory is accumulating. It is recommended to view it as a wide - range oscillation [14][15]. - For methanol, affected by Middle - East geopolitical events, supply has decreased significantly, and the port inventory has decreased by 13.07 tons this week [19]. - For pulp, most pulp and paper equipment has returned to normal production, and the port inventory is under pressure. There is an expectation of price increase for cultural paper and white - card paper, which may support pulp prices [23]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - Due to the war between the US, Israel and Iran, Asian refineries and petrochemical enterprises are cutting production capacity and declaring force majeure. Three operators are reducing production loads to maintain factory operation. Restarting a steam cracking unit takes up to two weeks, and factories usually do not stock more than a month's worth of raw materials [3]. - Mid - term focus variables: the sustainability of geopolitical risk premium (the 8 - 10 dollars/barrel premium will fade quickly if the strait passage resumes), supply - demand fundamentals (OPEC+ production cuts and slow growth of US shale oil form a tight balance, but global demand recovery is weak), and policy implementation rhythm (US measures to stabilize oil prices and OPEC+ production adjustments will determine the volatility center). It is recommended to trade within a range, with Brent in the 80 - 100 dollars/barrel range and SC crude oil in the 600 - 800 yuan/barrel range, and set stop - losses and avoid overnight positions [4]. Stock Market - The market shows a pattern of strong index and weak stocks today, with little change in trading volume compared to yesterday. The small - cycle is at a high level, and there is a need for adjustment in the early trading tomorrow. The early - morning adjustment is a good low - buying opportunity [7]. Gold - Gold's daily - level red - green line turns bearish. After a rally last night, it fell back again, and a high - shorting strategy should be adopted [9]. Iron Ore - In the medium - to - long - term, the supply is expected to be loose as Australian and Brazilian shipments are normal and mines are in the capacity - release cycle. The terminal demand needs time to start, and attention should be paid to policy and sentiment. Recently, the commodity sentiment is high, and a bullish view can be maintained [11][12]. Glass - In the seasonal off - season, the daily melting volume changes little, and the factory inventory is accumulating. Attention should be paid to the resumption of work of deep - processing enterprises after the festival. In the short - term, it is more affected by the overall commodity sentiment, and it is recommended to view it as a wide - range oscillation [14][15]. Methanol - Iran is the world's second - largest methanol producer and exporter, and the recent Middle - East geopolitical events have caused significant fluctuations in methanol. Supply has decreased significantly, and the port inventory has decreased by 13.07 tons this week [19]. Pulp - Most pulp and paper equipment has returned to normal production, and individual equipment is under maintenance. The domestic port inventory is continuously accumulating and under pressure. The downstream paper mills' operating load is expected to continue to increase, and the paper enterprises' gross profit is low. There is an expectation of price increase for cultural paper and white - card paper, which may support pulp prices [23].
