Group 1: Energy and Metals Crude Oil - Nighttime oil prices fluctuated violently. Military conflicts in the Middle East continue, and the passage through the Strait of Hormuz is severely restricted. Iraq has cut production by nearly 1.5 million barrels per day, and Kuwait has cut supply by 300,000 barrels per day. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are using alternative pipelines, and oil prices are expected to remain high until the strait resumes normal passage [2]. Precious Metals - Overnight, precious metals showed a strong performance. The global economic outlook and interest - rate cut paths are uncertain, and precious metals are oscillating at historical highs. The inflation expectation has strengthened after the sharp fluctuation of crude oil [3]. Copper - Overnight, copper prices showed a positive - line oscillation. The Iran situation is still uncertain, and the copper market has high volatility. The visible copper inventory is high, and the LME 0 - 3 month spot is at a discount of $92. The domestic spot discount is narrowing. The copper price is supported by spot buying interest but may still oscillate due to the uncertain situation and high inventory [4].

The domestic social inventory is at a multi - year high, but the Middle East situation has intensified the shortage concern, showing an external - strong and internal - weak pattern. Aluminum prices are fluctuating sharply at historical highs [5]. Cast Aluminum Alloy - Cast aluminum alloy follows the fluctuation of Shanghai aluminum. Under geopolitical risks, the price difference between cast aluminum alloy and Shanghai aluminum remains above 1,000 yuan in the short term [6]. Alumina - The operating capacity of domestic alumina has decreased, and the oversupply situation has improved slightly. The spot trading volume has increased slightly. The production cut of Middle East electrolytic aluminum has a negative impact, and the freight increase has raised the import cost, but the overall oversupply situation remains [7]. Zinc - The average price of SMM 1 zinc is 24,210 yuan/ton, with a discount of 75 yuan/ton to the near - month contract. The LME zinc inventory has fallen to 94,800 tons. The domestic "Golden March and Silver April" consumption is yet to be verified. Shanghai zinc is expected to oscillate at a high level [8]. Lead - The LME aluminum inventory is at a high of 285,000 tons. The import profit has expanded, and the overseas oversupply pressure is being transmitted to the domestic market. The refined - scrap price difference has narrowed to 25 yuan/ton. Shanghai lead is in a low - level consolidation pattern, with a price range of 16,500 - 17,300 yuan/ton [9]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel rebounded, with mostly short - term trading in the market. The upstream price rebound has pushed up the mid - stream price.

The downstream performance is differentiated. The short - term price is dominated by macro - sentiment and is expected to oscillate [14]. Group 2: Steel and Related Products Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil - Nighttime steel prices oscillated. The apparent demand for rebar has recovered slowly, and the inventory continues to accumulate. The supply and demand of hot - rolled coils have both decreased, and the inventory pressure is relatively large. The steel price is affected by the Iran situation and the demand in the peak season [15]. Iron Ore - The iron - ore futures oscillated overnight. The global shipping volume has decreased significantly, and the domestic arrival volume has rebounded. The port inventory is at a high level and may enter a seasonal destocking stage. The iron - ore supply and demand have improved marginally, and the futures price is expected to oscillate [16]. Coke - The intraday coke price declined. The spot price has increased. The coking profit is average, and the daily production has slightly decreased. The coke inventory has slightly increased. The coke price may be pushed up by the concern about energy due to geopolitical conflicts [17]. Coking Coal - The intraday coking - coal price oscillated weakly. The spot price has increased. The coking - coal inventory has slightly decreased. The coking - coal price may be affected by the geopolitical conflict in the Strait of Hormuz and is expected to be prone to rise and difficult to fall [18]. Manganese Silicon - The intraday price of manganese silicon oscillated weakly. The international conflict has a positive impact on the manganese - ore freight, which is beneficial to the cost side. The demand for iron - water has decreased significantly. The price is likely to oscillate [19]. Silicon Iron - The intraday price of silicon iron oscillated weakly. The electricity price in Inner Mongolia has increased, and the Lanzhou - carbon price has slightly decreased. The demand for iron - water remains at a low level. The supply has slightly decreased, and the inventory has increased. The price is likely to oscillate [20]. Group 3: Shipping and Chemicals Container Shipping Index (European Line) - The spot - market price of Maersk's W13 offer is $2,300/FEU, the same as W12. The price in late March has increased compared to early March, but the subsequent cargo - booking pressure remains. The cost increase may support the freight rate. The short - term and medium - term freight - rate trends are uncertain [21]. Asphalt - Domestic refining enterprises are worried about the stability of raw - material supply and have adjusted their production plans. The total asphalt production in March is revised to 1.967 million tons. The asphalt price will follow the crude - oil price but with a relatively limited amplitude [22]. Urea - The domestic urea supply is high, and the supply pressure has increased in March. The downstream demand is in the peak season, and the urea price is expected to run stably under the influence of the supply - guarantee and price - stabilization policy [23]. Methanol - The methanol futures price has dropped significantly due to the expected easing of the Middle East situation. The East China port has continued to accumulate inventory. The operation of MTO plants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang remains at a low level [24]. Styrene - The market believes that the Israel - Iran conflict may end earlier than expected, and the international oil price has dropped. The styrene factory has significantly lowered the price, and the market trading is average [25].

The inventory of sample enterprises has decreased, but the inventory pressure still exists. The caustic - soda price has dropped from a high level. The industry profit has been significantly repaired, and the supply pressure is large [27]. PX and PTA - The risk premium of PX and PTA continues to decline. The downstream of polyester yarn has stopped purchasing after the raw - material price increase. The short - term focus is on inventory digestion [28]. Ethylene Glycol - The new capacity exerts long - term pressure on ethylene glycol. The port inventory continues to rise. The risk premium of ethylene glycol has declined, but the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is still uncertain [29]. Short - Fiber and Bottle - Chip - The short - fiber inventory has increased from a low level, and the bottle - chip load has increased from a low level. The market is mainly affected by the Middle East situation and follows the raw - material price decline [30]. Group 4: Building Materials Glass - The glass price has dropped from a high level.

Live Pigs - The live - pig spot price is slightly weak, and the futures price is oscillating. The pig price is in the second - bottoming process, and the inventory pressure needs to be further reduced. The long - term potential support comes from factors such as second - fattening, frozen - meat storage, and capacity reduction [38]. Eggs - The egg spot price is moderately strong, and the futures price has slightly declined. The supply of new - laying hens is expected to be low in the first half of 2026, and the spot price has the basis to strengthen. It is recommended to go long on egg futures contracts at low prices [39]. Cotton - The U.S. cotton price has increased, and the USDA monthly report is bearish. The Zhengzhou cotton price is oscillating at a high level. The domestic commercial cotton inventory is being well digested, and the supply is expected to be tight. The short - term trend is oscillating, and cautious operation is recommended [40]. Sugar - The international sugar price is oscillating. India's sugar production has increased significantly, while Thailand's production is lower than expected. The domestic sugar price is under pressure in the short term, and the subsequent production situation needs to be observed [41]. Apples - The apple futures price is oscillating at a high level. The demand in the northwest产区 is good after the festival, but the quality in Shandong is poor, and the inventory is relatively high. It is recommended to wait and see [42].

Group 6: Financial Products Stock Index - The A - share market rebounded yesterday, and technology stocks recovered. The stock - index futures contracts all closed up, with IM leading the increase. The geopolitical risk has been alleviated to some extent, and the market sentiment has improved. The RMB exchange rate is relatively strong, and the A - share market is expected to maintain a relatively strong oscillating pattern [45]. Treasury Bonds - On March 10, the treasury - bond futures showed a narrow - range differentiation. The central bank has increased the net investment. With the decline of oil prices and the reduction of financial risks in the Japanese and South Korean markets, the opportunity to go long on TL can be considered in a loose - liquidity situation [46].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is escalating, significantly affecting global commodity markets, especially energy and metal markets. The continuous conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, along with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, has led to supply disruptions and price fluctuations in various commodities [2]. - The US labor market shows weakness, with negative employment growth and rising unemployment rate in February, which impacts the performance of precious metals and other commodities [3]. - The performance of different commodities varies. Some are affected by supply - demand changes, while others are influenced by geopolitical factors, energy prices, and policy expectations. Summary by Commodity Categories Energy - **Crude Oil**: International oil prices soared on March 9. With the Middle East situation escalating, the Strait of Hormuz shipping is blocked, causing supply disruptions. Iraq cut about 1.5 million barrels per day of production, and Kuwait reduced 100,000 barrels per day. Geopolitical risks will continue to support oil prices [2]. - **Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Geopolitical factors will continue to drive energy products. Fuel oil will maintain a high geopolitical premium and fluctuate significantly with crude oil [22]. - **Asphalt**: International oil price increases will boost the domestic asphalt market. Refineries may cut production due to concerns about raw material shortages. The revised asphalt production in March decreased by 220,000 tons. The market has a bullish sentiment [23]. Metals - **Precious Metals**: The US employment data is poor, and the precious metals are in a high - level historical shock pattern. The sharp rise in crude oil brings inflation and economic uncertainties, and there is a risk of liquidity shock from the global stock market decline [3]. - **Copper**: The copper price followed the short - term rise of precious metals but then focused on high - oil - price risks. The Middle East war may affect economic growth and AI - related investments. The copper price is expected to adjust to 98,000 yuan [4]. - **Aluminum**: The domestic aluminum inventory is at a high level, but the Middle East situation intensifies overseas shortage concerns. The aluminum price fluctuates at a high level, and it is necessary to avoid chasing up and selling down [5]. - **Zinc**: European energy prices have soared, and the cost of LME zinc has increased. In the domestic "Golden March and Silver April" season, the actual destocking performance needs to be tracked. The domestic zinc supply exceeds demand, and the Shanghai zinc is expected to oscillate at a high level in the short term [8]. - **Nickel**: The nickel market is mainly in the range of consolidation, and the trading is active. The nickel inventory has increased, and the market lacks independent driving force and gradually weakens [10]. - **Tin**: The tin price has a strong two - way fluctuation, and the domestic inventory has decreased. The supply is mainly based on the resumption of supply rhythm, and attention should be paid to the MA60 moving average [11]. Chemicals - **Polycarbonate**: The price of polycarbonate rebounds in shock, and the market maintains a certain activity. The total inventory decreases, and the mining end price is strong. The short - term uncertainty is extremely high [12]. - **Polysilicon**: The price support logic weakens, and the market is dominated by fundamentals. The domestic polysilicon production capacity is in excess, and the demand recovery is less than expected. The price may approach the cash cost in the short term [13]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The spot price of industrial silicon rises slightly. The cost increase expectation is enhanced. The supply is expected to increase, and the short - term market sentiment is strong, but the disk may face hedging pressure [14]. Agricultural Products - **Soybean, Soybean Meal, and Rapeseed Meal**: The soybean meal continued to increase in position and price on the night of last Friday. The international situation is tense, and the oil price is high, which drives the soybean price to be strong. Attention should be paid to the USDA report on March 11 [36]. - **Edible Oils**: The prices of domestic agricultural products generally rise. The Middle East geopolitical situation increases the planting cost and affects the supply of fertilizers. The supply of old - crop agricultural products is not tight, and attention should be paid to the impact on new - crop costs and the supply chain [37]. - **Corn**: The Dalian corn futures continued to be strong last Friday night. The state reserve has been actively trading corn. The US corn is in a bottom - shock and strong trend. Pay attention to the grain sales progress in Northeast China [39]. - **Livestock and Poultry Products**: The pig futures are weak in the near - term and strong in the far - term. The spot price continues to decline slightly. The pig price is at the bottom of the bear market, and the inventory pressure needs to be resolved. The egg price is rising, and the egg inventory is in a downward trend [40][41]. Others - **Shipping**: The container shipping index (European line) is dominated by geopolitical sentiment, and the market fluctuates sharply. The impact of the US - Iran conflict on the European line supply - demand pattern is limited. The fuel cost increase may push up the shipping price [21]. - **Stock Index**: The A - share market oscillated higher, and the futures index contracts all rose. The market style may rotate to stable and financial sectors. The relatively strong RMB exchange rate may support the A - share market [46]. - **Treasury Bonds**: The treasury bond futures oscillated horizontally, and the curve flattened slightly. The market lacks incremental information. The curve may show short - term narrow - range oscillation and medium - term flattening [47].
