1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The report analyzes the market trends of various commodities and financial futures, taking into account factors such as geopolitical situations, supply - demand relationships, and cost changes. Most of the varieties are expected to show short - term oscillatory trends, with some having long - term investment value or facing specific supply - demand challenges [1][2][3]. 3. Summary by Directory Financial Futures - **Stock Index**: Due to the repeated Middle - East situation, risk - aversion sentiment has risen again, and the market is cautious. Although the deep discount of index futures has slightly converged, IF, IC, and IM are still at extremely low historical levels. Supported by domestic policy expectations, the downside is limited, and it will mainly oscillate in the short term [2]. - **Treasury Bonds**: With large differences in negotiation conditions between the US and Iran, and the possibility of "fighting while negotiating" being high, the weekend military buildup of the US may intensify the situation. The impact of risk - aversion sentiment gradually outweighs inflation concerns, and the bond market will maintain an oscillatory pattern in the short term [3]. - **Container Shipping on the Europe Line**: The market shows a pattern of near - term weakness and long - term strength. Near - month contracts are suppressed by shipowners' price cuts to grab cargo and weak spot freight rates, while far - month contracts are supported by continuous geopolitical risks. The situation of detouring around the Red Sea continues, and EU customs reform may stimulate early shipments. It will maintain a differentiated oscillatory trend in the short term [3]. Non - ferrous Metals - **Platinum and Palladium**: Iran deems US negotiations as deception, and the Middle - East conflict raises inflation concerns, delaying the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations. The uncertainty of US tariff policies and fiscal pressure strengthen the weak - dollar logic, and supply disruptions from South African mining enterprises provide support. It will oscillate weakly in the short term and has long - term investment value [4]. - **Gold and Silver**: The deadlock in geopolitical negotiations boosts oil prices, causing precious metals to experience a secondary correction. The response to negative news gradually decreases. Trump's delay in the strike provides a breathing opportunity, and the expectation of Fed rate hikes rises. Policy uncertainty restricts the rebound, and it will maintain a low - level oscillatory pattern [5][6]. - **Copper**: Geopolitical uncertainty dominates, and the market is cautious, lacking strong upward momentum. Domestic social inventories continue to decline significantly, and downstream restocking supports demand. However, smelter shipments are limited, and imported supplies do not increase much. There is a game between macro - suppression and fundamental de - stocking, and the price will oscillate within a narrow range [6]. - **Aluminum**: The expectation of tightened macro - liquidity dominates the trend. Hawkish signals from the Fed suppress the valuation of commodities, and both domestic and foreign aluminum prices decline. Domestic electrolytic aluminum production capacity is at a high level, social inventories enter the accumulation cycle, downstream purchases as needed, consumption recovery is less than expected, and the decline in alumina prices weakens cost support. The price will oscillate weakly under the game of multiple factors [6]. - **Alumina**: The industry's operating rate remains high, the market supply - demand is becoming more relaxed, the import supply of bauxite is stable, and cost support weakens. Domestic inventory pressure gradually accumulates, and with macro - funds leaving for risk - aversion, the price drops slightly. The tight balance at the mine end limits the downside, and it shows an oscillatory consolidation trend [7]. - **Cast Aluminum Alloy**: Aluminum alloy strongly follows the Shanghai aluminum price. Due to tight raw materials and the impact of illegal tax - refund policies, there is strong support at the bottom [8]. - **Zinc**: On the supply side, Iran has little impact on the supply end. Imported TC declines again, while domestic TC remains stable. Domestic smelters maintain high production enthusiasm, continuously releasing pressure. On the demand side, downstream demand is delayed, inventories seasonally accumulate, and inventory pressure is high, showing a differentiation from overseas. Attention should be paid to the inventory turning point at low prices, and it will mainly oscillate following the sector [8]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: Indonesia plans to implement nickel windfall and export taxes in April, and policy expectations consolidate the price bottom. As the expectation of US - Iran negotiations rises, nickel ore shipments gradually resume, but shipping costs are high. New - energy demand is weak, and downstream stainless - steel buyers are highly cautious. It will oscillate under the resonance of supply - demand and policies [9]. - **Tin**: Uncertainty in macro - news suppresses the price. After a weakly oscillatory period, it rebounds slightly, and its fundamental negatives have been fully released. The impact of Myanmar's resumption of production and Indonesia's increased exports weakens, downstream purchasing sentiment warms up, and spot trading is active. The core driver is still macro - geopolitical factors, and it will oscillate in the short term [9]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: On the supply side, Zimbabwe's ban on lithium - concentrate exports continues, and the复产 progress of Yichun mining areas in China is slow, significantly reducing global supply elasticity and strengthening the expectation of raw - material shortages. On the demand side, it maintains resilience, with the energy - storage field continuing to develop, and downstream rigid demand is firmly supported. In terms of inventory, social inventories remain low, smelter inventories are at a three - year low, and downstream available inventory days are few. The low - inventory environment amplifies market sentiment. The market is driven by the tight supply - demand balance and capital sentiment, showing an oscillatory and upward trend [10]. - **Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon**: The current core contradiction in the market is the imbalance between supply and demand. The supply side is moderately increasing production, and there are expectations of further production increases, exerting supply pressure. On the demand side, the recovery of the photovoltaic downstream is less than expected. High inventories and insufficient demand jointly dominate the market trend [10]. - **Lead**: Fundamentally, primary lead smelting is steadily resuming production, and the opening of the import window brings obvious upward pressure, but most secondary lead producers are in a loss. On the demand side, terminal consumption is gradually recovering, and downstream orders are mainly for restocking. In the future, with inventory reduction and cost support, the lead price is expected to oscillate strongly [11][12]. Black Commodities - **Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil**: Rising oil prices drive up coking coal prices. Tight iron - ore inventories and rising shipping costs provide cost support. High inventories and high warehouse receipts of hot - rolled coils limit the upside. Pig - iron production is slowly recovering, steel - mill profitability is limited, and real - estate and infrastructure policies support demand. The rebound height is restricted under cost support [13]. - **Iron Ore**: It is significantly driven by events, with a complex mix of long and short factors in the market. The domestic and foreign demand momentum is weak, supply shipments are gradually recovering, and rising fuel costs provide support. Steel - mill复产 drives up pig - iron production, and the structural shortage of port inventories is the core driver. Overall, the fundamentals show a "near - strong, far - weak" characteristic. The price is supported by cost and tight spot supplies, but in the medium - to - long - term, it is suppressed by expectations of demand and supply increases [13]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: They fluctuate with energy expectations and are driven by energy sentiment, with valuations at a high level. The price increase is due to power - coal expectations rather than their own fundamentals. Domestic production is rising, inventories are approaching the same - period level, pig - iron production and steel - mill profits are lower than in previous years, and Mongolian - coal port inventories are under pressure. The price increase faces delivery risks and cannot deviate from fundamentals for a long time [14]. - **Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese**: There is strong cost support at the bottom. Australian hurricanes disrupt manganese - ore shipments, and miners' price - holding and rising coking - coal prices provide support. Ferrosilicon production is increasing, while silicomanganese production remains low. Steel - mill demand support is limited, silicomanganese inventories are at a historical high, and the de - stocking pressure is high. Manganese - ore disruptions amplify price fluctuations [14]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: Oil prices are oscillating upwards. The attack on a Russian oil tanker intensifies supply disruptions. There are large differences in US - Iran negotiations, and the US's military buildup in the Middle East may increase military pressure. Trump's delay in attacking Iranian energy facilities causes short - term price fluctuations, which are quickly repaired. The tight spot - supply situation remains unchanged [16]. - **Fuel Oil**: The market structure, spot premium, and refinery profits of high - and low - sulfur fuel oils are continuously correcting, and the high - sulfur oil market shows a weakening trend. However, geopolitical disturbances in the Middle East persist, and the continuous de - stocking of Fujairah inventories support the short - term fuel - oil market. The future supply - demand pattern and price trend need to closely follow geopolitical changes and restocking situations [16]. - **Asphalt**: Recent geopolitical disturbances have caused local logistics disruptions and supply reductions in crude oil, leading to a rapid increase in crude - oil prices. The instability of the Middle - East situation amplifies the upward impulse of crude oil. In the short term, geopolitical disturbances are the core factor, overriding asphalt's own fundamentals [17]. - **Pulp - offset Paper**: Pulp port inventories have increased significantly, and spot prices have dropped slightly, suppressing futures - price valuations. The increase in downstream operating loads and overseas pulp - mill shutdowns provide support. The supply - demand of offset paper maintains a weak balance. After the festival, rigid demand is recovering, and paper - mill resumption of work increases supply expectations. Both are affected by geopolitical sentiment and will oscillate within a range in the short term [17]. - **Pure Benzene - Styrene**: The changing Middle - East situation intensifies price fluctuations. The large differences in US - Iran negotiations reduce the probability of a cease - fire, and the varieties follow crude oil to oscillate strongly. Middle - East refinery supplies are disrupted, domestic pure - benzene maintenance increases, and the impact of styrene - plant load reduction is small. Downstream restocking demand exists but resists high prices. Attention should be paid to the duration of the strait closure, and it will oscillate strongly in the short term [18]. - **LPG**: It oscillates at a high level during the geopolitical variable window period. Domestic supply is shrinking, with both commodity volume and arrival volume decreasing, showing a supply gap. Chemical demand is weak, and the decline in PDH operating rate suppresses consumption. Port inventories are continuously accumulating. The navigation of the Middle - East straits is the core variable, and the actual supply gap is difficult to fill. It will oscillate at a high level in the short term [19]. - **PP Propylene**: The geopolitical situation is still unclear, and it maintains an oscillatory pattern. Refinery load reduction brings substantial supply reduction, and PDH plants rely on inventory for production. The poor navigation of the Strait of Hormuz threatens propane supply. After the situation eases, supply support still exists, and the downside is limited. The market uncertainty is high, and it is advisable to wait and see in the short term [19]. - **Plastic**: It operates at a high - level oscillation. Geopolitical sentiment has slightly cooled down. Refinery load reduction and increased maintenance bring obvious supply reduction, supporting the market. If the conflict continues, the price will be strong; if the situation eases, the risk premium will be withdrawn, but the actual supply reduction limits the decline. It is affected by the resonance of supply - demand and geopolitics, and it is advisable to wait and see for the situation to become clear in the short term [20]. - **Rubber**: The geopolitical situation is repeated. Synthetic rubber increases positions and breaks through highs, while natural rubber maintains an oscillation. Tightening Asian energy drives ethylene - plant load reduction, increasing the butadiene shortage and strengthening cost support. The production of cis - butadiene rubber declines. Natural - rubber inventories are at a high level, and production areas are gradually starting to harvest. The overseas low - production season provides support. In the medium - to - long - term, supply - demand supports the valuation, and it will stabilize in an oscillation [20]. - **Soda Ash**: Soda - ash daily production is at a high level, and supply pressure persists. Rigid demand is currently stable but weak. The increase in photovoltaic cold - repairs, but there may be unexpected supply - side disturbances. Inventory performance is better than expected. If the market rises, there is some restocking space for middle - stream players such as futures - spot arbitrageurs, but due to limited demand elasticity, the price increase is expected to be limited. The downward price space needs inventory accumulation to open. In the medium - to - long - term, the high - supply expectation remains unchanged, waiting for the further accumulation of industrial contradictions [21][22]. - **Glass**: The cold - repair expectation of float glass continues, and daily melting is in a downward stage. However, high middle - stream inventories have always been a risk concern in the market because once a negative feedback occurs, the spot pressure will be large, and downstream may not be able to bear it. Secondly, there are continuous news of ignition and cold - repair, and there are many new lines in Shahe waiting to be ignited. The expectation of supply recovery and high middle - stream inventories limit the upside of glass, and demand needs to be verified [22]. - **Caustic Soda**: On the supply side, domestic chlor - alkali plant maintenance continues, and the industry operating rate maintains at 84.6%, with marginal supply tightening. However, enterprise inventories have increased slightly month - on - month, and short - term pressure still exists. On the demand side, the rigid demand of downstream alumina and viscose staple fiber is stable, and export inquiries are active, providing stable support overall. The market is affected by the supply - demand contradiction and market sentiment, showing a downward oscillatory trend within a range [23]. Agricultural Products - **Live Pigs**: The market has sufficient pig supplies, slaughterhouses' procurement is smooth, and farmers' enthusiasm for selling is high. The short - term supply - demand pattern is loose, the weak trend is difficult to change, and supply pressure dominates the trend. Futures prices continue to be under pressure [24]. - **Oilseeds**: The China - US negotiation in April is postponed, and attention should be paid to the bio - diesel conference. In the domestic market, in the short term, the slow shipment from Brazil and rising freight rates support spot prices, but the medium - term large - supply logic remains unchanged. After the price spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal widens, rapeseed - related products regain cost - effectiveness, and the price spread is being repaired [24]. - **Oils**: The US - Iran situation is still uncertain, international oil prices are oscillating repeatedly, and the oil market is also in an oscillatory stage. It needs further promotion from bio - diesel policies; otherwise, it is difficult to break through. Attention should be paid to the review result of the US bio - fuel policy this week [25]. - **Cotton**: In the short term, the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran causes large fluctuations in oil prices, increasing macro - risks. The release of domestic quotas increases short - term supply, and Zhengzhou cotton prices decline. However, current downstream inventories are low, finished - product sales are fast, and consumption performance is good. There is still support at the bottom of cotton prices. The domestic - foreign price spread has been repaired recently. Attention should be paid to the upcoming new - year planting - intention report from USDA next week [25]. - **Sugar**: The outer - market raw - sugar is stronger than the domestic market. The sugar - making season in Inner Mongolia ends, and the expected beet - planting area decreases. The Middle - East geopolitical situation is tense, and capital sentiment is cautious. Domestic spot prices are stable, and trading is average. In the short term, it is affected by geopolitics and the outer - market, maintaining an oscillatory pattern [26]. - **Eggs**: The price slightly rises in a stable - to - strong manner. Inventories at all levels are low, pre - Tomb - Sweeping Festival stocking starts, and downstream restocking willingness increases. The laying - hen inventory is at a high level, and supply pressure still exists. As the Tomb - Sweeping Festival stocking nears the end, terminal demand is less than expected. Supported by low inventories and stocking expectations, it will oscillate in the short term [26]. - **Peanuts**: Oil - mill purchases increase. Sufficient commercial - peanut supplies and high oil - mill inventories suppress prices, while some oil - mill purchases provide support. There is a two - way game between supply and demand, and the market will maintain a high - level oscillation in the future. The oil - mill purchase rhythm is the core influencing factor [26]. - **Red Dates**: The new - year planting season has not arrived yet, and the market focus is still on the demand side. Currently, downstream sales are average, and restocking is light. The driving force for red - date prices is limited. With the overall domestic supply - demand being loose, there is still pressure on the upside, and it may mainly oscillate at a low level to build a bottom [27].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The short - term trend of various commodities is affected by geopolitical conflicts, central bank policies, supply - demand relationships, and other factors. Different commodities show different trends such as short - term adjustment, shock, and strength or weakness [1][2][3] - The long - term trend of some commodities is still influenced by fundamental supply - demand relationships and macro - economic factors, and there are opportunities and risks in different industries [10][12][13] Summary by Category Financial Futures - **Stock Index**: The Fed maintains interest rates, slowing down the rate - cut expectation. The strengthening of the US dollar index and Middle - East conflicts put pressure on the A - share market. In the short term, the stock index continues to adjust. In the medium - to - long - term, the bullish logic remains stable, and large - cap stock indices are relatively resistant to decline [2] - **Treasury Bonds**: The escalation of the Middle - East situation triggers risk - aversion sentiment. The central bank releases signals to stabilize the market. The easing remarks of the US and Israel lead to a decline in oil prices, and the risk - aversion sentiment may weaken. Short - term bond futures may fall [2] Container Shipping (Europe Line) - Geopolitical tensions threaten key shipping lanes. Some shipping companies' price - holding actions are positive, but the traditional off - season in April, sufficient cabin supply, and possible restoration of trade flow in the Strait lead to short - term high - level shocks [3] Non - ferrous Metals - **Platinum and Palladium**: The Middle - East geopolitical conflict raises oil prices, delaying the Fed's rate - cut expectation. Uncertain US tariff policies and supply disruptions in South Africa lead to short - term weak shocks [4] - **Gold and Silver**: The Middle - East situation squeezes the Fed's rate - cut expectation, and price drops significantly. Global central banks' hawkish policies and inflation concerns lead to short - term weak shocks [5] - **Copper**: Multiple macro - negatives and fundamental contradictions lead to a large outflow of market funds. The copper price breaks through key support levels, and the supply is in surplus, with high inventory pressure [5] - **Aluminum**: The US - Iran conflict raises energy prices, delaying the Fed's rate - cut expectation. Market concerns about liquidity tightening and economic recession lead to a panic decline in aluminum prices, and the short - term trend is dominated by the war situation [6] - **Alumina**: Domestic production capacity decline due to some enterprises' maintenance, but new production capacity in Guangxi is about to be released. Overseas, geopolitical factors lead to a decline in spot prices and an increase in import costs, with a mixed fundamental situation [6] - **Cast Aluminum Alloy**: It has a strong follow - up relationship with Shanghai aluminum, and the lower support is strong due to raw material shortages and tax - refund policy impacts [7] - **Zinc**: The impact of Iran on the supply side is small. The import TC declines, and the domestic smelting end maintains production enthusiasm. Downstream demand is delayed, and inventory pressure is large. The zinc price is under upward pressure [8][9] - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: The resumption of Indonesian wet - process production capacity, seasonal decline in nickel ore shipments, and weak demand in the new - energy off - season. The game between nickel iron and scrap stainless steel intensifies. The release rhythm of stainless - steel demand is the key variable [9] - **Tin**: Panic sentiment deepens. On the supply side, raw - material supply has a buffer. On the demand side, inventory is high, and spot trading is sluggish. The tin price is in a weak shock [9] - **Lithium Carbonate**: The Middle - East situation is uncertain, affecting the demand side. However, the long - term growth logic of downstream demand supports the price. Follow - up attention should be paid to the actual production and inventory - reduction speed in March [10] - **Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon**: The industry is at the bottom of the production - capacity cycle. Wait for capacity clearance and improvement of the supply - demand pattern, and track the "anti - involution" process and marginal optimization signals of the supply - demand structure [10] - **Lead**: On the supply side, primary lead smelting resumes steadily, and the import window opens. On the demand side, terminal consumption recovers slowly. The lead price is expected to oscillate and gradually stop falling [11] Black Metals - **Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil**: The Iran geopolitical conflict raises energy prices. Rumors of procurement restrictions on BHP iron ore and post - holiday restocking demand lead to tight tradable inventory at ports. However, high inventory and high warehouse receipts of hot - rolled coils, weak real - estate new construction, and export resistance limit the rebound height [12] - **Iron Ore**: The iron - ore price strengthens in the short term due to negotiation events, but the sustainability is weak. Shipping is affected by weather, and freight increases limitedly. The Middle - East Strait situation affects the arrival at Chinese ports. Terminal demand is weak, and inventory pressure is high. The overall supply - demand situation is oversupply [13] - **Coking Coal and Coke**: In March - April, the importance of real - data verification increases. Geopolitical factors may suppress steel exports, and the black - metal prices may face downward pressure. Although the coal - coke prices have some support at the bottom, the surplus problem restricts the price elasticity [14] - **Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese**: The lower - cost support of ferroalloys is gradually strengthening, but weak downstream steel demand and high inventory pressure limit the upward space [15] Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The US - Iran conflict first raises oil prices, and then the price cools down due to some news. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and tight storage capacity lead to increased fluctuations [16] - **Fuel Oil**: The supply tightening drives the market. Low - sulfur fuel oil sets new historical highs, and high - sulfur fuel oil remains at a high level. The short - term strong pattern in Asia is difficult to change [16] - **Asphalt**: Geopolitical disturbances lead to short - term upward pulses in oil prices, overriding the asphalt's own fundamentals [17] - **Pure Benzene - Styrene**: Geopolitical situations dominate. The navigation of the Strait of Hormuz is unstable, and Asian refineries' raw - material supply is blocked. Domestic pure - benzene maintenance is advanced, and styrene devices reduce production. The price is in a strong shock before the Strait navigation problem is solved [17] - **LPG**: Geopolitical risks increase supply risks, and the cost - side impetus strengthens. Domestic supply shrinks slightly, but the arrival volume increases. The price fluctuation center moves up, and the volatility is high [18] - **Methanol**: The US - Iran situation dominates the market. The trading is slow. The Strait may be partially opened, and the MTO profit expansion supports the methanol price. The import expectation of the 05 contract changes, and the price fluctuates violently [18] - **PP and Propylene**: The fundamentals support the prices. Before the geopolitical risks are removed, the prices are expected to maintain a strong shock. Follow - up attention should be paid to the Middle - East situation and the Strait of Hormuz navigation [18] - **Plastic**: Under the expectation of supply reduction, the near - month support is strong. Follow - up attention should be paid to the Middle - East situation and the Strait of Hormuz navigation [19] - **Rubber**: The disappointment of rate - cut expectation, stagflation concerns, and risk - aversion sentiment put pressure on natural rubber. Domestic production areas start test - tapping, and imports decrease. Synthetic rubber is supported by oil prices and butadiene supply, and the price fluctuates widely [19] - **Urea**: The US - Iran war creates a "hard gap" in global urea supply, pushing up international prices. Domestic supply - demand is in a tight balance, and the rising international fertilizer prices transmit bullish sentiment [20] - **Soda Ash**: The daily production of soda ash is at a high level, and the supply pressure continues. The rigid demand is stable and weak. The inventory performance is better than expected. The price increase space is limited, and the long - term supply is expected to remain high [20] - **Glass**: The cold - repair expectation of float glass continues, and the daily melting is declining. High intermediate inventory is a risk point. The supply return expectation and high inventory limit the price increase, and the demand needs verification [21] - **Caustic Soda**: The domestic device operation is stable, and short - term supply tightens. The industry inventory is high, and the overall supply is loose. Downstream demand is mainly for rigid procurement, and the export inquiry increases, supporting the futures price. The futures and spot prices show some differentiation [22] Agricultural Products - **Live Pigs**: Low pig prices lead to weak fresh - meat sales of slaughtering enterprises, and the initiative to store in warehouses weakens. The market lacks clear positives, and the futures price continues to decline [23] - **Oilseeds**: The Sino - US negotiation in April is postponed. In the short term, the spot price is supported by slow Brazilian shipments and rising freight. In the medium term, the large - supply logic remains unchanged. The price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal is repaired [23] - **Oils**: The oil market follows the crude - oil trend. The government's indecision on B50 and export policies leads to a decline in market sentiment. Short - term attention should be paid to the Iran situation and crude - oil price changes [24] - **Cotton**: The supply - demand tightening expectation supports the cotton price. The implementation of the import - quota policy narrows the price difference between domestic and foreign cotton. The cotton price may have a small - scale correction, but the downstream consumption is strong, and the correction space is limited [24] - **Eggs**: In the short term, the egg price may remain weakly stable. With the approaching of the Tomb - Sweeping Festival, the demand support and rising breeding costs will drive the egg price to rise [25][26] - **Apples**: The apple futures market is strongly supported by fundamentals and delivery logic. The shortage of delivery products in the 05 contract supports the price, and the market maintains a strong shock [26] - **Red Dates**: The market focus is on the demand side. The downstream sales are mediocre, and the price is under pressure, mainly in a low - level shock [26]
