In the short term, focus on the de - stocking range of Malaysian palm oil in January, the specific details of the US 45Z review, and the domestic market's acceptance of Australian rapeseed oil [45] - **Non - ferrous Metals (Lithium Carbonate)**: Still view it with a bullish mindset, pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips after the trading volume and volatility stabilize, but pay attention to position control and risk management [48] - **Non - ferrous Metals (Copper)**: Unilateral and arbitrage strategies suggest waiting and seeing, and the copper price is expected to remain in a high - level shock [52] - **Non - ferrous Metals (Lead)**: Unilaterally, gradually pay attention to the opportunity to stop losses on short positions; for arbitrage, suggest waiting and seeing [57] - **Non - ferrous Metals (Zinc)**: Unilaterally, be cautious about chasing long, continue to hold previous long positions, and manage positions well; for arbitrage, wait and see in terms of month - spread and internal - external spreads [60] - **Non - ferrous Metals (Tin)**: In the short term, it is expected to maintain a wide - range shock.

The Fed's interest - rate meeting was as expected, and while the employment market is stable, there is an upward risk of inflation [12] - Steel prices continue to fluctuate, recently showing weakness, with no obvious trend - driven factors. The seasonal weakening of building materials demand suppresses steel prices, but the fundamental contradictions are not prominent, and the valuation is not high, so there is limited downward space [29] - For zinc, the zinc concentrate production of Fresnilloplc in 2025 increased and decreased. Be cautious about chasing long, and previous long positions can be held. Short - term operation is difficult, and position management is recommended [4][59] - The utilization rate of domestic heavy - traffic asphalt production capacity has decreased. Due to the scarcity of low - price heavy - crude oil resources, the rebound of asphalt is relatively strong, but the pre - holiday stocking pace has slowed down, and the actual demand support is weak [5] Summary by Directory 1. Financial News and Comments 1.1 Macro Strategy (Gold) - The Fed kept the federal funds rate target range at 3.50% - 3.75%, in line with market expectations. Two Fed governors opposed the decision and supported a 25 - basis - point rate cut [10] - Trump warned Iran, and the situation in Iran remains uncertain, driving gold prices up.

Microsoft's capital expenditure reached a record high, but the growth rate of its cloud business slowed down [18][19][20] - The Fed continued to suspend rate cuts in January, and future rate cuts are still the benchmark path. Large - tech company earnings support market risk appetite, but the market is sensitive to the slowdown of cloud business. US stocks are expected to remain in a high - level shock during the earnings season [21] 1.4 Macro Strategy (Treasury Bond Futures) - The central bank conducted 377.5 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse - repurchase operations on January 28, with a net investment of 1.4 billion yuan. The central bank's short - term interest - rate control thinking is clearer [23] - The bond market will enter a shock in the short term, but the shock is expected to be short - lived. It is more cost - effective to short after the market's upward momentum fades [23][25] 2. Commodity News and Comments 2.1 Black Metals (Rebar/Hot - Rolled Coil) - Many real - estate companies are no longer required by regulatory authorities to report the "three red lines" indicators monthly.

Pay attention to the pre - holiday winter - stocking and spot - futures arbitrage operations of traders [29] 2.2 Black Metals (Steam Coal) - On January 28, the price of steam coal in the northern port market was stable. Some traders expect the coal price to rise, and there was a small amount of demand at the end of the month, but the actual transaction is limited [31] - The steam - coal price has stabilized since January and is expected to be strongly supported in the short term due to the seasonal decline in supply and high demand in February [31] 2.3 Black Metals (Iron Ore) - In 2025, Vale's iron - ore production reached the highest level since 2018. In Q4, iron - ore production increased by 6% year - on - year, while pellet production decreased by 9% [32] - Iron - ore prices are expected to remain weakly volatile in a shock before and after the Spring Festival due to concerns about plate orders and the end of raw - material replenishment [32] 2.4 Black Metals (Coking Coal/Coke) - The price of coking coal in the Changzhi market remained stable. Most coal mines maintained normal production, and downstream coke enterprises' replenishment was basically completed.

The estimated arrival of imported soybeans at domestic oil mills in February is about 5.005 million tons, and the estimated arrivals in March and April are 4.8 million tons and 9.5 million tons respectively [42][43] - The hot and dry weather in Argentina threatens soybean production, and the CBOT soybean and soybean - meal futures prices have risen. The domestic soybean - meal spot market is stable, and the internal and external futures prices may fluctuate strongly under the threat of the Argentine weather [43] 2.7 Agricultural Products (Soybean Oil/Rapeseed Oil/Palm Oil) - Argentina is experiencing continuous high - temperature and drought weather, which may lead to a decline in the 2025/26 crop yield [44] - The oil market continued to rise.

The LME lead was at a discount of $47.43 per ton on January 27 [53][54][56] - The lead market is in a situation of weak supply and demand. Although the reduction of secondary smelters is expanding, there is no clear upward driving force, and the lead price may bottom - seek in the short term [56] 2.11 Non - ferrous Metals (Zinc) - On January 27, the LME zinc was at a discount of $30.81 per ton. Fresnilloplc's zinc - concentrate production in 2025 was 105,900 tons, a 9% year - on - year decrease, and its production guidance for 2026 is 85,000 - 95,000 tons [58] - The zinc price rose due to the influence of the aluminum price. The overseas energy price increased, and the February smelting production is expected to decline. Be cautious about chasing long, hold previous long positions, and manage positions well [59][60] 2.12 Non - ferrous Metals (Tin) - India significantly reduced the tariff on EU cars, and the price of LPDDR memory used in iPhone increased. On January 27, the LME tin was at a discount of $244 per ton [61][62][63] - The supply - side recovery of tin is uncertain, the demand is weak, and the price is expected to maintain a wide - range shock in the short term.
