Report Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The current geopolitical conflict situation has become the core focus of the market, and the gold price trend is significantly affected by relevant news. With the Middle - East conflict entering the second month and continuing to escalate, Pakistan plans to host US - Iran talks in the coming days to resolve the conflict, but the positions of the US, Israel, and Iran are all tough. Meanwhile, the Houthi armed forces have entered the fray and threatened the shipping safety of the Mandeb Strait, increasing the global energy supply risk. In a high - oil - price environment, the stickiness of inflation expectations is further highlighted. Coupled with the shift of market interest - rate cut expectations, the short - term trend of precious metals is still under phased pressure. It is recommended to stay on the sidelines.

At the same time, the Yemeni Houthi armed forces launched missiles at Israel, opening a new front in the Middle - East war. The Yanbu Port and the Mandeb Strait, where Saudi Arabia's daily oil output exceeds 3.4 million barrels and can bypass the Strait of Hormuz, are within the range of Houthi missiles, posing a serious threat to the last buffer plan in the energy market [2] Strategy Suggestions - Due to the current geopolitical situation, it is recommended to stay on the sidelines.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the text. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overseas, there are doubts about the so - called US - Iran peace talks. The US is reported to be formulating a "fatal blow" military plan against Iran, and Iran believes the US negotiation stance is a "third deception" plan. Oil prices have risen again, the Fed's interest - rate hike expectations have resurfaced, the US dollar index and US Treasury yields have strengthened significantly, and global risk appetite has cooled significantly. Domestically, the Chinese economy rebounded better than expected from January to February, exports far exceeded expectations, and inflation continued to recover. The goals and policy intensity in the government work report for 2026 are lower than those in 2025. The short - term trading logic of the market focuses on Middle - East geopolitical risks. In the short term, the domestic economy is better than expected, but due to the mixed geopolitical news in the Middle East, the stock index fluctuates weakly and with increased volatility. [3][4] - For assets, the stock index fluctuates weakly and with increased volatility in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see cautiously; government bonds fluctuate in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see cautiously; in the commodity sector, black metals fluctuate weakly in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see cautiously; non - ferrous metals fluctuate weakly in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see cautiously; energy and chemical products fluctuate significantly in the short term, and it is advisable to go long cautiously; precious metals fluctuate significantly and weaken in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see cautiously. [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro - finance - Overseas, doubts about the US - Iran peace talks, rising oil prices, resurgent Fed interest - rate hike expectations, strengthening of the US dollar index and US Treasury yields, and cooling of global risk appetite. Domestically, the economy and inflation are better than expected in January - February, and the goals and policy intensity in 2026 are lower than in 2025. The short - term stock index fluctuates weakly and with increased volatility. [3] - Asset suggestions: short - term cautious wait - and - see for stock indices, government bonds, black metals, non - ferrous metals, and precious metals; short - term cautious long - position for energy and chemical products. [3] 3.2 Stock Index - Affected by sectors such as insurance, communication services, and photovoltaics, the domestic stock market continued to decline significantly. The economy and inflation are better than expected from January to February, and the goals and policy intensity in 2026 are lower than in 2025. The short - term trading logic focuses on Middle - East geopolitical risks, and the stock index fluctuates weakly and with increased volatility. It is advisable to wait and see cautiously in the short term. [4] 3.3 Precious Metals - The precious metals market fell on Thursday night. The main contract of Shanghai gold closed at 980.08 yuan/gram, down 2.83%; the main contract of Shanghai silver closed at 16841 yuan/kilogram, down 5.66%. Spot gold restarted its decline, and finally closed down 2.85% at 4377.95 US dollars/ounce; spot silver finally closed down 4.32% at 68.11 US dollars/ounce. Precious metals fluctuate significantly and weaken in the short term, and it is advisable to wait and see cautiously. [5] 3.4 Black Metals - **Steel**: The domestic steel futures and spot markets declined slightly on Thursday, and the trading volume was low. The real demand improved marginally, the apparent consumption of five major steel products increased by 19.49 tons week - on - week, and the inventory decline continued to expand. The supply decreased slightly this week, but the molten iron output increased. The steel market will follow the cost in the short term, and attention should be paid to the price adjustment risk after the cost decline. [6][7] - **Iron Ore**: The spot price of iron ore rebounded significantly on Thursday, and the futures performance was relatively strong. There are rumors of setbacks in iron ore negotiations. The demand for iron ore is still resilient, and the supply has increased. It is expected that the room for further price increase is limited, and attention should be paid to the phased adjustment risk after the energy price weakens. [7] - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: The spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese rebounded on Thursday, and the futures continued to fluctuate. The alloy prices were supported by the rebound of crude oil prices. The operating rate of silicon manganese increased slightly, and the daily output decreased slightly. The steel procurement in March has basically ended, and the market is waiting for the situation in April. It is advisable to treat the futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese with a slightly bullish and fluctuating mindset. [8] 3.5 Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The copper spot TC is close to - 70 US dollars/ton, a new low. The by - product income makes up for the smelting profit. The refined copper production growth rate is high. The core contradiction lies in the mine end. The inventories at home and abroad are accumulating, and the social inventory has decreased significantly. The sustainability of inventory reduction needs to be observed. [9] - **Aluminum**: On Thursday, due to Iran's opposition to the US proposal, the risk appetite decreased, but the aluminum price was supported. The domestic primary aluminum production increased significantly from January to February, and the pattern of weak domestic and strong overseas may change temporarily. The domestic primary aluminum import remains high, and the supply pressure still exists. [9] - **Zinc**: The domestic zinc ingot inventory continued to decline to 21.44 tons on Thursday, but it is still at a high level in recent years. The zinc ore processing fees in some regions have rebounded, and the domestic smelting output remains relatively high. The demand is not optimistic. [9][10] - **Lead**: The imports of refined lead and crude lead increased significantly from January to February. The production of primary lead and secondary lead increased seasonally. The demand is entering the off - season, and the social inventory of primary lead has decreased. The LME lead inventory is at a high level in the same period in recent years. [11] - **Nickel**: Indonesia may levy a windfall tax on nickel from April 1. The core contradiction lies in the mine end. The RKAB quota in 2026 has decreased significantly, and the MHP supply may decline. The nickel price has support below, but the upside is limited due to high inventories at home and abroad. [12] - **Tin**: The imports of tin ore from Myanmar increased significantly in the first two months, and the import sources are more diversified. The demand is not good overall, but the social inventory has decreased due to downstream replenishment. [13] - **Lithium Carbonate**: The main contract of lithium carbonate fell 0.64% on Thursday. The supply and demand are both strong, and the social inventory is continuously decreasing. It is expected to fluctuate in the support range, and it is advisable to lay out positions at low prices. [14] - **Industrial Silicon**: The main contract of industrial silicon rose 0.58% on Thursday. The supply and demand are both weak, the production capacity is surplus, and the inventory is at a high level. It is priced close to the cost, and it is advisable to operate within the range. [15] - **Polysilicon**: The main contract of polysilicon fell 2.78% on Thursday. The inventory is continuously accumulating at a high level, and the spot price is falling. It is expected to fluctuate weakly, and it is advisable for short - sellers to hold positions cautiously or take profits in a timely manner. [15] 3.6 Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The US sent mixed signals, and the market is not sure if the US - Iran negotiation will end the Middle - East conflict quickly. Trump postponed the strike on Iran's energy facilities by 10 days. The short - term oil price will face a pattern of a slightly rising center and increased volatility. [16] - **Asphalt**: The asphalt price follows the rising oil price, but the downstream is in the off - season, and the demand is affected by high prices. The supply is low, and the short - term absolute price will fluctuate significantly with the oil price. [16] - **PX**: The PX price follows the rising oil price, but the downstream start - up recovery is slow, and it is affected by negative feedback. It is likely to fluctuate in the short term. [17] - **PTA**: The PTA price follows the rising oil price, but the downstream negative feedback is obvious, and the rebound space is limited. It will remain slightly bullish and fluctuating before the oil price rises significantly. [17] - **Ethylene Glycol**: The ethylene glycol price rebounds slightly with the rising oil price. The port inventory reduction is limited, and the export expectation is increasing. The basis has strengthened slightly and is likely to fluctuate after a decline. [18] - **Short - fiber**: The short - fiber price remains slightly bullish and fluctuating with the rising oil price. The downstream production reduction suppresses the recovery space, but it can be supported by the cost in the later stage. [18] - **Methanol**: The inland methanol market is strong, and the port basis has strengthened. The inventory at the port and production enterprises has decreased. The supply has tightened, and the fundamentals have been repaired. The price is still firm, but attention should be paid to the marginal changes caused by geopolitical relaxation and downstream negative feedback. [19] - **PP**: The price of PP is supported by the continuous inventory reduction. The market is expected to remain strong, and the navigation situation in the Strait of Hormuz is the main uncertainty. [20] - **LLDPE**: The LLDPE price is firm. The supply is decreasing, the demand is increasing, and the inventory is being reduced rapidly. It is expected to continue to operate strongly, and geopolitical dynamics are the key variables affecting the external supply. [21] - **Urea**: The domestic urea market is stable. The supply has decreased slightly, the demand shows a pattern of "weak agricultural and strong industrial", and the export policy window is closed. The price is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range. [22][23] 3.7 Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The 05 - month soybean contract on the CBOT market closed down 0.06% overnight. The US soybean export sales increased significantly in the week ending March 19. Attention should be paid to the revised biofuel blending target and the end - of - month planting area report on Friday. [24] - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The inventory of imported soybeans and soybean meal is decreasing rapidly, supporting the soybean meal basis. The risk of delayed shipment and arrival of Brazilian soybeans still exists. The rapeseed meal inventory has increased, and it fluctuates with the soybean meal. [24] - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: The domestic soybean oil inventory is decreasing rapidly, and the supply is tight in the short term, supporting the basis. The supply pressure of rapeseed oil may increase, and it is under pressure along with soybean and palm oil. [25] - **Palm Oil**: The Malaysian palm oil futures rose 0.35% overnight, supported by the strong Chicago soybean oil price, rising crude oil price, and strong export data. The domestic palm oil import is affected by the inverted profit, and the market transaction is light. [25] - **Corn**: The national corn price adjusts within a narrow range. The futures price fluctuates strongly, supporting the spot market. The sales of grassroots grain sources in the producing areas have slowed down, and the inventory at ports and deep - processing enterprises is low. However, the acceptance of high - priced corn by downstream feed enterprises is decreasing, and the possible rice auction in early April may have a negative impact. [26] - **Hogs**: The pig production capacity is in the pain period of adjustment, the demand is slightly improving but still in the off - season, and the breeding loss is increasing. The short - term futures and spot prices may continue to fall, and there are risks in the futures market. [27][28]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current geopolitical conflict situation has become the core focus of the market, and the gold price trend is significantly affected by relevant news. Although Trump said that the negotiation with Iran is in progress and going smoothly, leaving a cooling - off window for the tense situation in the Middle East, the potential geopolitical risks have not subsided. The recent decline in oil prices helps relieve global inflation pressure, reducing the market's concern about further interest - rate hikes by the Fed to some extent. If the geopolitical conflict eases, the pressure on the global economy from high energy prices and supply - chain disruptions will gradually ease, and the probability of central banks around the world raising interest rates is expected to decline, which may lead to gold regaining upward momentum. However, the inflation expectation caused by high oil prices has not been fully alleviated, and precious metals will remain in a high - level shock in the short term. It is recommended to stay on the sidelines, with the reference operating range of the main contract of Shanghai Gold being 920 - 1050 yuan/gram and that of the main contract of Shanghai Silver being 14500 - 20500 yuan/kilogram [3] 3.

The yield of the 10 - year US Treasury bond was 4.42%, and the US dollar index was 99.87 [1] 3.2 Macro - economic Information - Federal Reserve Governor Cook said that the current labor market is characterized by low recruitment and low lay - offs, which has a particularly significant impact on young workers. Affected by the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, the current inflation risk has increased, and the balance of economic risks has tilted more towards the inflation side. The previous US inflation level was close to the 2% policy target, but tariff factors caused inflation to deviate from the target, and the current geopolitical situation has further pushed inflation away from the target level [1] - Trump announced through social media that at the request of Iran, the strike on Iran's energy facilities would be postponed for 10 days, with the window period ending at 20:00 on April 6, 2026, Eastern Time. This move temporarily alleviated the market's concern about the escalation of conflicts in the energy sector, providing a phased easing space for the global energy market. However, the US still reserves the right to restart the strike. Coupled with Iran's previous clear statement of counter - attack, the geopolitical risk has not completely subsided [2] 3.3 Gold and Silver Data - **COMEX Gold**: The closing price of the active contract was 4503.30 US dollars/ounce, up 0.63%; the trading volume was 238,000 lots, up 15.09%; the open interest was 411,400 lots, down 0.62%; the inventory was 994 tons, down 0.22% [5] - **LBMA Gold**: The closing price was 4564.55 US dollars/ounce, up 3.42%; the closing price of the active contract was 995.98 yuan/gram, down 1.77%; the trading volume was 438,400 lots, down 17.17% [5] - **SHFE Gold**: The open interest was 282,200 lots, down 3.97%; the inventory was 106.74 tons, unchanged; the settled funds were 44.969 billion yuan, out - flowing 5.67% [5] - **AuT + D**: The trading volume was 85.69 tons, up 6.55%; the open interest was 238.91 tons, down 1.86% [5] - **COMEX Silver**: The closing price of the active contract was 71.45 US dollars/ounce, unchanged; the open interest was 114,800 lots, down 0.61%; the inventory was 10,228 tons, down 0.79% [5] - **LBMA Silver**: The closing price was 73.17 US dollars/ounce, up 4.57%; the closing price of the active contract was 17,472.00 yuan/kilogram, down 3.53%; the trading volume was 1,206,200 lots, down 19.40% [5] - **SHFE Silver**: The open interest was 449,100 lots, up 0.92%; the inventory was 370.30 tons, down 1.54%; the settled funds were 21.186 billion yuan, down 2.64% [5] - **AgT + D**: The trading volume was 429.70 tons, down 5.95%; the open interest was 2,872.224 tons, down 0.63% [5] 3.4 ETF Holdings - **Gold ETFs**: The holding of SPDR in the US was 1052.42 tons; iShare in the US held 474.31 tons (unchanged); GBS in the UK held 30.30 tons (unchanged); PHAU in the UK held 53.21 tons (unchanged); GOLD in the UK held 29.71 tons (unchanged); SGBS in Switzerland held 34.92 tons, down 0.34% [68] - **Silver ETFs**: The closing price of SLV in the US was 60.77 US dollars, down 6.81%; the holding was 15,409.46 tons, down 0.67%; the settled funds were 3.3323 billion US dollars, down 8.66%; the trading volume was 55.5349 million shares, up 45.51%.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the documents 2. Core View of the Report - The report maintains a bullish outlook on platinum and palladium in the long - term, but in the short - term, the prices are more volatile due to technical corrections and Fed personnel changes. As of March 3, 2026, platinum and palladium have fallen 21.4% and 19.7% respectively from their January highs, and have also significantly retreated from their February 24 repair highs. The main short - term disturbance is Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair. Despite short - term uncertainties, in the long - run, factors such as the weakening of the US dollar's credit, the global central bank's gold - buying spree, and the supply - demand situation in the platinum and palladium industries support the prices [4]. 3.

Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report provides trend judgments on various futures based on fundamental and quantitative indicators, and analyzes the market conditions and trends of multiple industries such as macro finance, black, non - ferrous and new materials, agriculture, and energy chemicals, offering corresponding trading strategies [2][4]. - The geopolitical situation, especially the US - Iran conflict, has a significant impact on the global financial and commodity markets, affecting the supply, demand, and price trends of various commodities [5][6][7]. Summary by Directory 1. Futures Trend Judgments - **Based on Fundamental Judgments**: Trend空头 includes manganese silicon; Oscillatory and bearish includes eggs, ferrosilicon, polysilicon, red dates, plastics, PVC; Oscillatory includes lithium carbonate, cotton yarn, five - year Treasury bonds, ten - year Treasury bonds, two - year Treasury bonds, thirty - year Treasury bonds, cotton, sugar, pulp, logs, urea, iron ore, caustic soda, hot - rolled coil, rebar, copper, ethylene glycol, PTA, industrial silicon, bottle chips, p - xylene, short - fiber, live pigs, coke, methanol, coking coal, glass, soda ash, liquefied petroleum gas, crude oil, zinc; Oscillatory and bullish includes 20 - number rubber, rubber, synthetic rubber, Shanghai Composite 50 stock index futures, CSI 500 stock index futures, CSI 300 stock index futures, CSI 1000 index futures, fuel oil, asphalt [2]. - **Based on Quantitative Indicators**: Bearish includes coke, coking coal, corn starch, hot - rolled coil, rebar, PVC, soybean No.1; Oscillatory includes Zhengzhou cotton, Shanghai gold, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, Shanghai aluminum, soybean No.2, eggs, asphalt, PTA, plastics, sugar, polypropylene, glass, soybean meal, manganese silicon, methanol, rapeseed meal, palm oil, iron ore; Bullish includes rubber, Shanghai tin, Shanghai copper, corn, Shanghai silver, Shanghai lead, Shanghai zinc [4]. 2. Macro Financial - **Stock Index Futures**: Consider a long - position strategy and pay attention to trading volume. The current position has a certain odds, and short - term winning probability may increase [11]. - **Treasury Bond Futures**: The bond market gradually has odds, and consider a left - side long - position strategy. The yield of bonds over 10 years has odds, but the odds are not thick enough. Keep a steep yield curve thinking, and the yield of bonds under 10 years still has room to decline [12]. 3. Black - **Steel**: The overall short - term trend is oscillatory. The demand for building materials is weak, and the inventory of coils and strips is high, suppressing steel prices. The cost side has strong support, and the iron ore supply and demand are in a double - strong pattern. Suggest holding the short - straddle strategy for steel and iron ore, and then shorting on rallies later [14][15][16]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The prices may oscillate strongly in the short term. It is recommended to go long on dips. The prices are affected by the energy substitution logic caused by geopolitical conflicts. Although the supply is sufficient, the procurement willingness of coking enterprises has recovered. If the emotional premium fades, the price may fall back [17]. - **Ferroalloys**: It is recommended to short on rallies. The supply of ferrosilicon and manganese silicon is expected to increase, and the supply - demand relationship is weakening. Although the prices are affected by energy emotions, the fundamental contradictions are accumulating [18]. - **Soda Ash and Glass**: Currently, it is advisable to wait and see. Soda ash supply has slightly declined due to short - term maintenance, and the supply stability of leading enterprises needs attention. Glass supply has both cold - repair and ignition expectations, and the mid - stream inventory needs to be digested [19]. 4. Non - ferrous and New Materials - **Copper**: The short - term price will oscillate widely. The Middle East situation shows signs of easing but remains uncertain. The downstream consumption is warming up, and the inventory is decreasing [21]. - **Zinc**: The inventory has decreased, and the price has stopped falling and rebounded slightly. It is still advisable to adopt an oscillatory and bearish strategy with small price rebounds [22][23]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: It is affected by mine - end disturbances and macro - emotions. If the export of lithium ore from Zimbabwe is still prohibited, it may drive up the price; otherwise, it may cause a short - term supply shock [23][24]. - **Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon**: Industrial silicon oscillates, and it is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of selling call options after a rebound. Polysilicon oscillates weakly, and the liquidity is insufficient, so operate with caution [25][26]. 5. Agriculture - **Cotton**: The price oscillates at a high level. The cotton market is affected by the surrounding market and the macro - environment. The global cotton production is expected to decline, and the domestic cotton inventory is in the de - stocking stage. The import pressure restricts the price, but the decrease in the expected planting area is beneficial to the price in the long term [27][28]. - **Sugar**: The price oscillates and rebounds. The global sugar supply surplus is expected to decrease, and the domestic sugar has seasonal production pressure, but the import cost supports the price [29][30]. - **Eggs**: The recent consumption recovery supports the price, but the supply pressure is large. The spot price may have limited upside, and the futures price of the near - month contract has upward pressure [32][33]. - **Apples**: High - quality apples may be strong, and the futures price may be strong. The inventory is at a low level in recent years, and the demand during the Tomb - Sweeping Festival boosts the price [34][35]. - **Red Dates**: The current view is oscillatory and bearish. It is in the traditional consumption off - season, and the consumption is difficult to grow significantly without external positive factors [36]. - **Live Pigs**: It is advisable to pay attention to selling out - of - the - money call options of near - month contracts. The supply is strong and the demand is weak, but the live - pig inventory is expected to decrease, and the factors for the price to stabilize and rebound are accumulating [37]. 6. Energy Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The geopolitical risk has weakened, but the situation is still variable. If the Strait of Hormuz is navigable, the oil price will return to fundamental trading; otherwise, it may rise. The US - Iran conflict is likely to cool down [39]. - **Fuel Oil**: It will follow the oil price and oscillate at a high level. The focus is on the resumption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz [40]. - **Plastics**: The price is slightly supported by the unstable situation in the Middle East. The upstream production cut is expanding, and the future price depends on the resolution of the war [41]. - **Rubber**: The domestic Yunnan production area has started tapping, and the price is oscillatory and strong in the short term. It is advisable to hold the strategy of narrowing the spread between RU and NR and pay attention to the opportunity of selling put options after full - scale tapping [42]. - **Synthetic Rubber**: The price is driven by the cost side and may have room to rise. It is advisable to wait and see, and pay attention to energy prices and device changes [43]. - **Methanol**: The short - term price is affected by the geopolitical situation in Iran. The long - term supply - demand pattern is improving, but there is great uncertainty. It is not advisable to be overly bearish [44]. - **Caustic Soda**: It is advisable to adopt an intraday wide - range oscillatory strategy. The price is affected by coal prices, supply - side production cuts, and export volume increases, as well as futures premium and inventory accumulation [45][46]. - **Asphalt**: The industry is in a situation of weak supply and demand. The price follows the oil price, and the profit has rebounded [47][48]. - **PVC**: The price may have a callback risk. The core factor is whether the upstream ethylene production cut can continue and expand. If the oil transportation problem is solved, the price may fall rapidly [49]. - **Polyester Industry Chain**: It is advisable to take profit on previous long positions. The cost side is weakening, but the supply contraction provides support. Pay attention to the geopolitical impact, device maintenance progress, and the recovery of polyester demand [50]. - **Liquefied Petroleum Gas**: The geopolitical risk has weakened, but the situation is still variable. If the Strait of Hormuz is navigable, it will return to fundamental trading. It is expected to continue to weaken, but the price may be stronger than that of crude oil [51]. 7. Others - **Paper Pulp**: Pay attention to the impact of the macro and commodity emotions. The import is stable, and the downstream demand is mainly for rigid replenishment. The high inventory and weak demand are in a game with the cost and energy - related production cuts of overseas pulp mills. It is advisable to go long on dips if the market improves [53]. - **Logs**: Pay attention to the macro and commodity emotions. The procurement enthusiasm of processing plants is low, and the fundamentals may stabilize if the demand recovers [54]. - **Urea**: The far - month contract pays attention to cost - driven and agricultural product price increases, and the near - month contract follows the policy. The current supply - demand is balanced, and the impact of the state reserve release needs to be observed [55].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The domestic futures market had mixed performance on March 25, 2026, with some commodities rising and others falling. The market was significantly affected by the Middle - East situation, and the prices of energy - related commodities were highly volatile [6][7]. - For most commodities, the uncertainty of the Middle - East situation led to large price fluctuations, and it was recommended to be cautious when participating in the market, with some suggesting temporary exit and waiting for more stable market conditions [13][16][18]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1. Commodity Performance - **Falling Commodities**: Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) dropped by over 8%, fuel oil and container shipping on the European line dropped by over 6%, and ethylene glycol, PVC, low - sulfur fuel oil (LU), propylene, and plastic dropped by over 4% [6]. - **Rising Commodities**: Shanghai silver rose by over 7%, platinum and palladium rose by over 5%, and lithium carbonate and butadiene rubber rose by over 4%. Stock index futures and some treasury bond futures also had varying degrees of increase [6][7]. - **Fund Flows**: As of 15:25 on March 25, 2026, funds flowed into Shanghai gold 2606 (5.782 billion yuan), Shanghai silver 2606 (1.804 billion yuan), and butadiene rubber 2605 (1.097 billion yuan). Funds flowed out of CSI 1000 2606 (4.134 billion yuan), crude oil 2605 (783 million yuan), and iron ore 2605 (732 million yuan) [7]. 3.2. Market Analysis - **Copper**: In February 2026, China's copper concentrate imports increased year - on - year but decreased month - on - month. The shortage of copper resources supported the price. The substitution of recycled copper decreased, and the production of electrolytic copper increased. The demand in the copper product sector started to pick up, but the terminal data was not optimistic. The copper price rebounded due to the news of the possible cease - fire in the Middle - East, and caution was needed when chasing the rise [9]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The price of lithium carbonate rose. In February 2026, China's lithium carbonate imports increased year - on - year but decreased month - on - month. The export of lithium ore in Zimbabwe was affected, and the subsequent resumption of production in domestic lithium mines was a potential negative factor. The inventory decreased slightly, and the overall demand growth showed a marginal weakening trend [11]. - **Crude Oil**: The EIA data showed that the US crude oil inventory increased more than expected, but the refined oil inventory decreased significantly. The Middle - East situation was the focus, and the suspension of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz led to production cuts in Middle - East oil - producing countries. Although some measures were taken to ease the supply pressure, the situation was still uncertain, and the oil price was highly volatile [12][13]. - **Asphalt**: The asphalt production rate decreased, and the downstream demand gradually recovered. The market was worried about the shortage of raw materials in domestic refineries due to the Middle - East situation. The supply - demand situation improved, but it was recommended to stay on the sidelines and pay attention to the development of the Middle - East situation [14]. - **PP**: The downstream demand for PP recovered slowly, and the enterprise production rate decreased. The cost was affected by the Middle - East situation. The domestic supply - demand pattern improved, but the downstream was resistant to high prices. It was recommended to pay attention to the downstream resumption of production and the Middle - East situation [16]. - **Plastic**: The plastic production rate decreased, and the downstream demand gradually recovered. The cost was affected by the Middle - East situation. The domestic supply - demand pattern improved, but the downstream was cautious in purchasing. It was recommended to pay attention to the downstream resumption of production and the Middle - East situation [17][18]. - **PVC**: The PVC production rate decreased, and the downstream demand gradually recovered. The export price increased, and the social inventory decreased for the first time after the Spring Festival. The PVC industry had the expectation of anti - involution, and the supply was expected to decrease if the Strait of Hormuz did not resume navigation. It was recommended to stay on the sidelines [19][21]. - **Coking Coal**: The domestic coal production resumed, and the downstream started to build up inventory. The price of coking coal was affected by the Middle - East situation, and the market volatility was high. The fundamental driving force was not strong, and caution was needed in operation [22]. - **Urea**: The market trading was average, and the factory price was stable. The high production and national reserve ensured the supply, and the downstream demand was weakening but still had some procurement. The inventory continued to decrease, and the price was in high - level shock [23].
