Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The core pricing lines of the global market in 2026 are as follows: Overseas, the "Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)" balance between the US and Iran restricts the escalation of the conflict, but the secondary inflation risk from oil prices is reversing the global liquidity expectations, and the Fed's policy path is becoming more divergent. Domestically, Chinese assets have a triple safety premium, but the A-share market is still in a risk release stage. The core investment strategy in 2026 is "defense and counterattack" [2]. Summary by Directory Financial Futures - **Macro**: News drives the market. Fed officials have different views on interest rate hikes and cuts. The situation in the US - Iran conflict is complex, with Trump claiming progress in negotiations while Iran denying it [1]. - **RMB Exchange Rate**: Trump's claim of progress in US - Iran dialogue led to a drop in the US dollar index, and the RMB appreciated against the US dollar. Short - term export enterprises can lock in forward exchange settlement, and import enterprises can adopt a rolling foreign exchange purchase strategy [3]. - **Stock Index**: The A - share market fell due to liquidity shocks and geopolitical uncertainties. With the easing signal of the Middle East situation, the stock index may rebound, but the trend is unclear, so it is recommended to wait and see [5]. - **Treasury Bonds**: After the sharp fall of the A - share market, the bond market may rebound.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The ongoing war between the US, Israel, and Iran has made the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz a gray rhino event, causing oil prices to remain high. The supply of crude oil is expected to decline, and the market is in a state of shortage. The release of strategic oil reserves can only temporarily alleviate the supply gap. The price of crude oil will depend on the situation of the Strait of Hormuz and the balance between supply and demand [3][4]. - The Chinese government will continue to implement a more proactive fiscal policy in 2026, which will support the equity market, especially the infrastructure, consumption, and technology sectors. However, the overseas "stagflation" risk and the market's demand for verifying the economic recovery strength will suppress the global risk preference, and the market will continue to adjust with structural differentiation [5]. - Geopolitical risks have not pushed up the price of gold as expected. Instead, the soaring oil price has strengthened inflation expectations, leading to a significant cooling of the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut. The dollar index and the 10 - year US Treasury yield have put pressure on the price of gold. The price of gold is expected to fluctuate in the short term, and there may be an opportunity to buy at a low price in the medium - to - long term [6][7]. - The price of silver is under pressure from the strengthening dollar and the market's short positions, but it is also supported by strong industrial demand and supply shortages. Traders should pay attention to the breakthrough of key intervals and control their positions [8]. - The prices of various chemical products are affected by factors such as the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, supply and demand, and cost. The market trends of different chemical products vary, and investors need to pay attention to relevant factors [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. - The prices of agricultural products are affected by factors such as international geopolitical situations, supply and demand, and policies. Different agricultural products have different market trends, and investors need to pay attention to relevant information [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. - The prices of metals are affected by factors such as supply and demand, geopolitical risks, and inventory. Different metals have different market trends, and investors need to pay attention to relevant factors [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. - The prices of black commodities are affected by factors such as policy expectations, supply and demand, and cost. Different black commodities have different market trends, and investors need to pay attention to relevant information [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Summaries by Relevant Catalogs Crude Oil - **Macro and Geopolitical Factors**: The war between the US, Israel, and Iran continues, and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has become a gray rhino event, causing oil prices to remain high. The US president's call for joint escort has received few responses, and it is difficult to resume navigation in the short term. The reduction in production by Middle Eastern oil - producing countries and the increased transportation costs due to rerouting after the blockade will give crude oil a certain premium [3]. - **Market Analysis**: The IEA predicts that the crude oil supply will decrease by 8 million barrels per day in March. If the blockade continues, the supply may continue to decline. The market has shifted from oversupply to shortage, with a gap of 10 - 20 million barrels per day, accounting for 10% of the dynamic balance. The release of strategic oil reserves can only make up for one - month's export gap if the Strait of Hormuz has zero traffic. The price of crude oil may drop significantly if the Strait is reopened after the refineries reduce their loads and demand declines further. If the Strait's traffic and the supply - demand balance do not return to normal during the peak summer season, the oil price will remain high [4]. - **Reference View**: Pay attention to whether the WTI main contract can hold the key position around $95 - 100 per barrel. The volatility of crude oil has increased [4]. Stock Index - **Macro Information**: The Chinese government will continue to implement a more proactive fiscal policy in 2026, aiming to stabilize the macro - economic situation and support the equity market, especially the infrastructure, consumption, and technology sectors [5]. - **Market Analysis**: The overseas "stagflation" risk has suppressed the global risk preference. The market's demand for verifying the economic recovery strength has increased. Some growth sectors are facing performance tests and changes in external liquidity expectations. Funds tend to flow to large - cap, low - valuation, and high - performance - stability sectors, and the market risk preference has decreased [5]. - **Reference View**: The main broad - based indexes will continue to adjust in a volatile manner, and structural differentiation may continue [5]. Gold - **Macro and Geopolitical Factors**: Geopolitical risks have not pushed up the price of gold as expected. Instead, the soaring oil price has strengthened inflation expectations, leading to a significant cooling of the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut. The dollar index and the 10 - year US Treasury yield have put pressure on the price of gold [6]. - **Market Analysis**: The price of spot gold fluctuates within a range and once fell below $5000 per ounce this week. The main pressure on the gold market comes from the reconstruction of interest rate expectations. The SPDR Gold ETF has continuously reduced its positions slightly. If the oil price continues to rise slowly, the dollar and the US Treasury yield may continue to be supported, and the price of gold may continue to fluctuate in the short term to digest the selling pressure [7]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Maintain a neutral position before the Fed's interest rate meeting. If the geopolitical situation eases and the oil price drops, there may be an opportunity to buy at a low price. In the medium - to - long term, the allocation value of gold still exists [7]. Silver - **External Price**: On March 17, the silver market continued to be under pressure, and the London silver was struggling around the $80 per ounce mark. The macro - suppression factors are still obvious, and the Fed's interest rate cut expectation has been continuously suppressed due to inflation concerns caused by the Middle East situation. The strengthening dollar has made silver more expensive for non - US buyers [8]. - **Market Analysis**: Silver is experiencing a fierce game between its "commodity attribute" and "financial attribute". The support comes from strong industrial demand and continuous supply deficits, while the pressure comes from the increase in real interest rates and the long - short game in the speculative market. Although there is a supply shortage, a large number of short positions in the paper - silver market have formed a price - suppression mechanism. If the dollar index continues to rise, the silver price may test lower support levels; if the geopolitical situation eases and the dollar falls, the continuous supply shortage may push up the price [8]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Short - term traders should pay attention to the breakthrough of key intervals and be flexible within the range. Before the Fed's monetary policy path becomes clear, strictly control the position to deal with the current high - volatility environment [8]. Chemical Industry Rubber - **Market Price**: The spot prices of domestic whole - latex, Thai smoked three - piece, Vietnamese 3L standard rubber, and 20 - grade rubber are 16,700 yuan/ton, 19,900 yuan/ton, 17,000 yuan/ton, and 15,200 yuan/ton respectively. The raw material prices in Haikou are 74.3 Thai baht/kg for smoked sheets, 73 Thai baht/kg for latex, 58.5 Thai baht/kg for cup rubber, and 70 Thai baht/kg for raw rubber [9]. - **Market Analysis**: The Shanghai rubber market remains neutral. The continuous blockade of the Strait of Hormuz may have a negative impact on the demand for Shanghai rubber, but due to the off - season of rubber tapping, the raw material prices are still rising, so the downside space is limited. The raw material prices in Thailand are still at a high level, providing support for the rubber price. However, the domestic production areas are gradually starting to tap, and the supply is becoming more abundant. The blockade of the strait has increased the premium of energy - chemical products but also worried the market about the demand for natural rubber. The downstream demand shows that the capacity utilization rate of China's semi - steel tire sample enterprises last week was 78.73%, a month - on - month increase of 4.20% and a year - on - year decrease of 0.36%; the capacity utilization rate of full - steel tire sample enterprises was 71.80%, a month - on - month increase of 6.42% and a year - on - year increase of 2.81%. The inventory in Qingdao Bonded Area increased by 1.27% to 11.96 tons, and the general trade inventory increased by 0.04% to 68.04 tons. Under the influence of multiple factors, the upward trend of Shanghai rubber may slow down and turn into a wide - range shock [10]. - **Reference View**: The main contract of Shanghai rubber will fluctuate around 16,400 - 17,500 yuan/ton [10]. Plastic - **Spot Information**: The mainstream spot prices in North China, East China, and South China are 8,414 yuan/ton, 8,665 yuan/ton, and 8,977 yuan/ton respectively, with month - on - month decreases of 60 yuan/ton, 126 yuan/ton, and 105 yuan/ton [11]. - **Market Analysis**: On the supply side, the operating rate of China's polyethylene plants last week was 82.39%, a month - on - month decrease of 4.5171%; the production affected by plant maintenance was 9.104 tons, a month - on - month increase of 2.076 tons. On the demand side, the overall operating rate of polyethylene downstream enterprises last week was 33.83%. As of March 13, 2026, the inventory of Chinese polyethylene production enterprises was 57.54 tons. On March 17, the closing price of L2605 was 8,496 yuan/ton, and the futures price declined. Geopolitical factors are expected to support the high price of crude oil, the cost side is strong, the downstream rigid demand may improve slightly but the procurement is cautious, the supply is expected to decrease, the inventory is maintained at a reasonable level, and the macro - situation is still uncertain. The polyethylene market is expected to fluctuate in a relatively strong range under the game of multiple factors, and the price is difficult to continue to rise significantly [11]. - **Reference View**: It is expected that plastics will fluctuate in a relatively strong range in the short term, and attention should be paid to geopolitical disturbances [12]. Methanol - **Spot Information**: The spot price of methanol in Zhejiang is 2,865 yuan/ton, an upward fluctuation of 20 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The spot price in Xinjiang is 1,750 yuan/ton, the same as the previous trading day. The spot price in Hebei is 2,340 yuan/ton, the same as the previous trading day [13]. - **Market Analysis**: The closing price of the main methanol futures contract MA605 is 2,847 yuan/ton, an upward fluctuation of 0.35% from the previous trading day. In terms of inventory, the total port inventory is 131.28 tons, with a significant reduction of 13.07 tons compared with the previous period. Among them, the inventory in South China decreased by 3.51 tons, and the inventory in East China decreased by 9.56 tons. On the supply side, the upstream coal - to - methanol still has profits, and the operating rate of the domestic methanol industry is 90.15%, maintaining a high level; on the demand side, the loss of MTO profits has increased, the operating rate of the device is maintained at 84.08%; the operating rate of the MTBE device is 68.94%, and the demand for traditional downstream products (acetic acid, formaldehyde) is still weak, mainly for rigid - demand procurement, suppressing the price elasticity. Internationally, the Middle East conflict has blocked the shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Brent crude oil has rebounded again, with the increase once expanding to about 4%. The cost support of methanol has been strengthened; the risk of supply interruption of Iranian methanol supports the price [13]. - **Reference View**: Methanol futures may fluctuate at a high level in the short term, presenting a pattern of strong geopolitics and weak reality. Pay close attention to the navigation situation of the Strait of Hormuz and the dynamics of Iranian devices. Track the Middle East situation and the destocking of port inventory, and be vigilant against the intensification of the negative feedback in the industrial chain [13]. PTA - **Spot Information**: The spot price in East China is 6,770 yuan/ton, a decrease of 190 yuan/ton [14]. - **Market Analysis**: The logistics risk in the strait has led to a shortage of PX supply, and domestic refineries have reduced their loads preventively, so the short - term cost support is strong. The supply of PTA is steadily increasing. In terms of device operation, a 3.6 - million - ton device in East China reduced its load on March 12, but other devices such as Yisheng New Materials and Dushan Energy have restarted or increased their loads one after another, and the overall supply has maintained a growth trend. The demand of the downstream polyester industry is slowly recovering. Among the sub - products, the output of polyester industrial yarn has increased significantly; the capacity utilization rate of PET chip fiber has increased from 81.37% to 86.22%, indicating that the downstream operation is gradually improving. However, the inventory of PTA factories has accumulated, mainly because the recovery rhythm of downstream demand is slower than the supply growth rate, and the market's concern about supply interruption has prompted more inventory building [14]. - **Reference View**: In the short term, continue to pay attention to geopolitical disturbances. In addition, the recovery of downstream demand is still the key [14]. Ethylene Glycol - **Spot Information**: The spot price in East China is 4,780 yuan/ton, a decrease of 75 yuan/ton [15]. - **Market Analysis**: In March, multiple domestic coal - based and oil - based devices are planned for maintenance, and external Iranian devices are shut down (with an annual capacity of 450,000 tons). Coupled with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the import expectation has decreased, and the domestic ethylene glycol production has decreased significantly, and the supply side has continued to tighten. The demand of the downstream polyester industry remains stable, and the capacity utilization rate is maintained at around 83.83%. The downstream inventory - building willingness has increased. It is worth noting that the polyester industry accounts for 94% of ethylene glycol consumption and is greatly affected by the cost side in the short term [15]. - **Reference View**: Pay attention to the trend of the cost - side oil price and downstream demand, and it will fluctuate in a short - term range [15]. Soda Ash - **Spot Information**: The mainstream price of heavy soda ash in the Shahe area is 1,236 yuan/ton, the same as the previous period. There are slight differences among different regions.

The soda ash output was 80.92 tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.22 tons. There were few maintenance enterprises during the week, and the supply remained at a high level. In terms of inventory, the manufacturer's inventory last week was 1.9317 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 15,500 tons, a decrease of 0.80%, and the inventory decreased slightly. It is understood that the social inventory has increased steadily and is close to 280,000 tons. The demand performance is average. Overall, there is no major change in the soda ash market, and the fundamentals are still weak. However, the international situation is changeable, and it is expected that the market will still fluctuate highly, but the upside space may be limited due to the fundamental pressure. Pay attention to macro and policy dynamics, enterprise maintenance situations, and inventory changes [16]. - **Reference View**: The market continued to decline slightly yesterday. It is recommended to be cautious about chasing high in the short term [16].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The U.S.-Iran conflict has significant impacts on various sectors, with prices in energy, precious metals, chemicals, and container shipping likely to be affected [8][9]. - The development of the conflict has three scenarios, each with different impacts on the market [8][27]. - Different sectors will respond differently to the conflict, with some being more directly affected and others being more indirectly affected [9][10][11]. 3. Summary by Directory Event Development Progress - On February 28 local time, the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran, and Iran retaliated by targeting U.S. military bases in the Middle East. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was reported killed in an attack on the same morning [21][23][59]. - As of March 1, most vessels around the Strait of Hormuz remained congested and awaiting passage [22][59]. - Three scenarios for subsequent event development are envisioned: symbolic Iranian retaliation and rapid regime transition; stable Iranian regime and intensified retaliation; prolonged but contained conflict [27][62]. Crude Oil - Crude prices have been supported by U.S.-Iran tensions since January, and after the February 28 military escalation, the market will test whether geopolitical risks translate into actual supply disruptions [9][31][63]. - If conflicts remain limited to military targets and end quickly, Brent crude is expected to trade between $70–$78/bbl before retreating. If production or transport is impacted, short-term price elasticity will increase [9][31][63]. - China's domestic crude futures may see additional support from rising tanker costs and increased demand for alternative crudes, widening the spread between domestic and international benchmarks [9][31][63]. Chemicals - Chemicals like methanol, MEG, fuel oil, and LPG may rise short-term due to geopolitical, cost, and transport concerns, but major facilities in the region remain largely undamaged [10][50]. - Continued attention is needed on conflict duration and strait accessibility [10][50]. Natural Gas - The impact of the Iran situation on the global natural gas market depends primarily on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz [11][38][69]. - A phased slowdown in trade flows following a conflict escalation would provide bullish support to gas prices in Europe and Asia. If a sustained and significant drop in Middle Eastern LNG exports emerges later, it would further stimulate price increases in Eurasian gas markets [11][38][69]. Precious Metals - Precious metals may benefit from rising safe-haven demand in the short term, but the sustainability of rallies depends on the severity and longevity of geopolitical tensions [12][39][70]. - Gold and silver prices could challenge recent highs in March [13][40][70]. Container Shipping - Freight rates on Middle Eastern container routes have already increased, and war surcharges are a key focus. Other routes may follow [14][41][71]. - The Middle East accounts for ~5% of global container volume, with ~3% transiting the Strait of Hormuz [14][41][71]. - The April contract highs could reach 1,450–1,500 points [14][41][72]. Non-Ferrous Metals - The U.S.-Iran military conflict is likely to intensify concerns over potential supply shocks in the near term, providing upward impetus to base metal prices [15][42][73]. - In the medium term, base metals are expected to continue to exhibit a volatile but bullish trend [15][42][73]. Ferrous Metals - The impact of the U.S.-Iran conflict on ferrous metals is primarily sentiment-driven, with minimal direct supply or cost transmission [16][44][74]. - Higher oil prices may raise seaborne iron ore transport costs, but with a lag [16][44][74]. Agriculture - The U.S.-Iran conflict affects the agriculture sector mainly through oil price volatility, with synthetic rubber being the most sensitive [17][45][75]. - Traditional crops may see mild gains from higher fertilizer costs, but historical data shows low sensitivity in agricultural markets [18][45][75]. U.S. Treasuries - A prolonged conflict could erode the safe-haven appeal of U.S. assets [19][46][76]. - Treasury yields are more tied to domestic fundamentals than geopolitics [19][46][76]. Chinese Government Bonds - Risk-off sentiment may support bond markets, but policy uncertainty looms [20][48][78]. - Short-term, bonds may see upward momentum, but pre-meeting policy speculation could lead to range-bound trading. Medium-term, potential RRR/cut cuts may support a bullish bias [20][48][78].

Group 1: Macroeconomics - The European Central Bank and the Bank of England maintained their benchmark interest rates unchanged. The ECB kept its three key interest rates steady for the fifth consecutive meeting, while the BoE's decision, with four out of nine policymakers voting for a 25 - basis - point cut, signaled a dovish stance [1]. - The UK's GDP growth forecast was downgraded to 0.9%, and the unemployment rate is expected to rise to 5.3%, indicating weak domestic demand. The visit of UK's Starmer to China is seen as a practical choice to break through growth bottlenecks [2]. - The US 12 - month JOLTS job openings reached a new low since September 2020, and the US Challenger job cuts in January hit a record high for the same period since 2009, surging 205% month - on - month [4][5].

The central parity rate was set at 6.9570, down 37 basis points [3]. - Due to weak US employment data and AI - related panic, the market's risk - aversion demand increased, supporting the US dollar index. The RMB's appreciation momentum may decline after the holiday as seasonal settlement demand weakens [3]. - Short - term export enterprises are advised to lock in forward settlement at around 7.01, and import enterprises can adopt a rolling purchase strategy at the 6.93 level [4]. Group 3: Stock Index Futures - The stock index fell collectively, with the large - cap index relatively more resilient. The trading volume in the two markets dropped to around 2.1 trillion yuan. The short - term stock index is expected to continue to adjust, with the large - cap index outperforming, but the adjustment range is limited [4][5]. Group 4: Treasury Bonds - Treasury bond futures rose across the board. The open - market operation injected cross - festival funds, and the money market was stable. The yield of spot bonds declined across the board. The bond market may gain upward momentum as the A - share market is likely to adjust [5][6]. Group 5: Container Shipping (European Routes) - The main contract EC2604 of container shipping on European routes fluctuated widely. The market's core contradiction lies in the game between geopolitical risks and weak fundamentals. Short - term, it will maintain a volatile pattern with limited upside [6][7][8]. - It is recommended to shift long positions on the medium - term during intraday adjustments and take profits on the March contract at high levels. Short - term, consider shorting lightly at high levels [6][8]. Group 6: New Energy (Carbonate Lithium and Industrial Silicon) - Carbonate lithium futures prices fell, with a daily decline of 9.81%.

Core Viewpoint - The recent Central Political Bureau meeting serves as a precursor to the Central Economic Work Conference, indicating that a more proactive fiscal policy and moderately loose monetary policy will continue into 2026, suggesting a sustained loose funding environment for the commodity market [3][9]. Group 1: Economic Policy Insights - The combination of "expansive fiscal policy + loose monetary policy" is expected to create a macro backdrop that supports the commodity market [3][9]. - Attention should be paid to the language used in future statements, particularly phrases like "increase macro control" and "strengthen counter-cyclical and cross-cyclical adjustments," which may indicate a stronger policy commitment and boost market sentiment [3][9]. Group 2: Fiscal Policy Considerations - Key focus areas include the deficit rate and the scale of special bonds, which reflect the government's leverage efforts. If these exceed market expectations, it suggests a more aggressive push for economic growth, positively impacting demand for commodities like copper and stock index futures [10][11]. - The allocation of funds will be crucial, whether directed towards "new infrastructure, new urbanization, and major projects," or towards "large-scale equipment updates" and "consumer goods replacement," influencing demand trends in various commodity sectors [11][12]. Group 3: Monetary Policy and Real Estate - The extent of monetary policy adjustments will directly signal liquidity levels. Confirmation of a continued loose monetary stance could lower financing costs and enhance market risk appetite, potentially directing funds into the futures market [12][13]. - The real estate market's stabilization in 2026 is critical for the price trends of black commodities. The absence of specific mentions regarding the real estate market in this year's meeting raises questions about potential new policies to stabilize the sector [13]. Group 4: Market Expectations and New Opportunities - The market often reacts to new expectations, so the conference's potential establishment of quantifiable targets for consumption or investment growth, or emphasis on new investment areas like "AI+" or "green consumption," could inject new trading momentum into relevant sectors [5][12]. - The final outcomes will depend on the official communiqué released after the conference, with potential for increased price volatility during the meeting as market expectations evolve [5][12].
