The oil market is expected to remain strong before the international situation eases [38]. 3.2.7 Agricultural Products (Corn) - The US corn export inspection volume in the week ending February 26, 2026, decreased by 8% week - on - week but increased by 37% year - on - year. The corn futures and spot prices are oscillating strongly. The supply from the grass - roots level is expected to gradually recover. The downstream demand has support, and the centralized procurement by the China National Grain Reserves Corporation has boosted the market sentiment [39][40]. - Investment advice: The low inventories at the north - south ports, the slow release of the grass - roots selling pressure, and the tight supply of high - quality corn in the Northeast provide support for the price. However, there is still a risk of concentrated selling of the ground - stored corn in the Northeast as the temperature rises. The weak demand in the downstream breeding and deep - processing industries and the potential impact of wheat auctions may suppress the price. In the short term, the market is affected by multiple factors, and the current futures price is relatively high. It is advisable to trade according to the trend and not to chase the high price. In the medium - to - long term, the price is expected to stabilize and rebound, but the upward range is limited by demand recovery and policy regulation. Attention should be paid to the weather, corn reserve purchase policies, and wheat auction dynamics [40]. 3.2.8 Agricultural Products (Cotton) - In the northern Xinjiang region, cotton enterprises' basis quotes are stable, and textile enterprises are adopting the "locked - basis" procurement strategy. Australia's cotton production in 2025/26 is expected to decrease by 20% due to water supply shortages and low cotton prices. The import yarn prices have increased slightly, and the port inventory has continued to increase. The Zhengzhou cotton futures have entered a shock - adjustment state after a sharp rise. The downstream gauze market recovery is slow, and the import yarn inventory has a negative impact on domestic cotton consumption. The new Xinjiang cotton target - price subsidy policy is about to be introduced, which will have a significant impact on the cotton planting area [41][42][44]. - Investment advice: The textile enterprises' cotton yarn inventory is not high, and the "Golden March and Silver April" peak season is approaching. The short - term factors such as the reduction of US tariffs on Chinese goods support the cotton price. The commercial cotton inventory in China and Xinjiang has decreased year - on - year, and the spot basis is strong. The market sentiment is expected to be positive. The Zhengzhou cotton futures are not expected to decline significantly in the short term. However, the peak - season performance is uncertain, and the high domestic - foreign cotton price difference will suppress the cotton price increase. The futures price is expected to be in a shock in the short term. Attention should be paid to the macro - level dynamics, the resumption of downstream enterprises, and the order situation [45]. 3.2.9 Agricultural Products (Hogs) - Huatong Co., Ltd. has provided a maximum - amount joint and several liability guarantee for the downstream pig - farmers' "Huatong Piglet Loan" business. The pig market has over - capacity and inventory pressure, and the overall spot sentiment is not optimistic. The futures price has a relatively high premium compared to the spot price, so the short - term long - position safety margin is not high. In the medium term, it is more suitable to adopt the strategy of short - selling on significant rebounds. Attention should be paid to the situation of piglets and sows to determine whether the cycle will reverse [46]. - Investment advice: Continuously pay attention to the short - selling opportunities brought by the postponed supply pressure [47]. 3.2.10 Non - ferrous Metals (Lead) - On March 2, the LME 0 - 3 lead was at a discount of $47.76 per ton. The Shanghai lead futures rose and then fell. The US - Iran geopolitical conflict has not eased, and the decline in interest - rate cut expectations, recession trading, and liquidity withdrawal have affected the precious metals and non - ferrous metals markets. The LME lead inventory remained unchanged, and the 0 - 3 cash spread decreased. The domestic social lead inventory decreased marginally. The lead price rebounded from a low level due to cost support and supply - demand mismatch, but it is also affected by the macro - level situation. Attention should be paid to the resumption of production of downstream large enterprises [48][49]. - Investment advice: In terms of the unilateral strategy, it is advisable to pay attention to medium - term long - position opportunities; in terms of the arbitrage strategy, it is advisable to wait and see [49]. 3.2.11 Non - ferrous Metals (Zinc) - In January, the total global sales of eight major Japanese automakers increased by 0.7% year - on - year, while the total production decreased by 1.6%. On March 2, the LME 0 - 3 zinc was at a discount of $20.6 per ton. The domestic and international zinc prices oscillated downward. The US - Iran geopolitical conflict has not eased, and the increase in energy prices and the decline in interest - rate cut expectations have affected the non - ferrous metals market. The LME zinc inventory decreased, and the 0 - 3 cash spread oscillated. The domestic social zinc inventory increased significantly, and the domestic fundamentals are under short - term pressure. The zinc price may enter a stage of shock adjustment, and it is advisable to manage positions well in the high - volatility market [50][51]. - Investment advice: In terms of the unilateral strategy, it is advisable to wait and see, and it is recommended to close the previous long positions; in terms of the arbitrage strategy, it is advisable to wait and see for the month - spread arbitrage, and it is recommended to adopt the medium - term positive cross - market arbitrage strategy [52]. 3.2.12 Non - ferrous Metals (Lithium Carbonate) - Canadian mining company First Phosphate has obtained conditional approval for a CAD 16.7 - million (about USD 12.2 - million) grant to support its lithium - iron - phosphate battery - grade phosphoric acid processing plan. The lithium carbonate futures limit - downed, and the weighted contract open interest decreased. The market rumor that the Middle - East situation affects energy - storage demand has limited impact. In March, the domestic lithium carbonate inventory is expected to decrease by about 2,000 tons. After the sharp decline in the futures price, the downstream buying demand has increased. In April, the lithium carbonate demand is expected to continue to increase, and the inventory will continue to decrease. Attention should be paid to the Zimbabwe export policy, the power - terminal situation, and the demand fulfillment [53][54]. - Investment advice: Referring to the night - session non - ferrous metals' volatility, the lithium carbonate futures may open lower today. The risk - return ratio around 150,000 yuan is average, but if the price continues to fall, it may be advisable to gradually try long positions [55]. 3.2.13 Non - ferrous Metals (Tin) - Indonesia's tin production quota in 2026 is 65,860 tons. The domestic SHFE tin futures warehouse receipts decreased, and the LME tin inventory increased. The short - term supply shortage situation has eased with the resumption of production in Myanmar and the expected increase in Indonesia's production in 2026. In the long - term, the supply is concentrated and vulnerable, and the supply may be restricted by anti - globalization and resource nationalism. The domestic smelting processing fees have remained unchanged, and the smelting profit margin has decreased slightly. The smelting enterprises' production decreased during the Spring Festival, and the downstream enterprises' holiday was extended. With the resumption of production of some downstream enterprises, the traders' willingness to sell has increased. Attention should be paid to the downstream inventory replenishment [56][57]. - Investment advice: Under the background of the US - Israel - Iran conflict, the risk - aversion sentiment and the rising US dollar index have suppressed the tin price. The visible inventory is relatively high, and the supply expectation has increased. The tin price is expected to be in a shock - consolidation state in the short term. Attention should be paid to the downstream receiving situation, open interest changes, and the macro - level and capital sentiment [58]. 3.2.14 Energy Chemical (Carbon Emissions
