Today, glass futures prices mainly rebounded with fluctuations. On the macro level, policies to stabilize growth in the real estate sector continue to be intensified, combined with expectations of the traditional spring peak season, providing emotional support to the market. This round of rebound is primarily driven by expectations and oversold recovery; the core contradiction between high inventory pressure in the fundamentals and weak terminal demand has not yet been alleviated, so the rebound's sustainability is limited. It is expected that the short-term glass market will maintain a range-bound fluctuation pattern, with subsequent focus on tracking the realization of real estate demand, the effect of inventory reduction, and the progress of cold repair production lines.

The Ministry of Public Security's Bureau of Environmental Resources and Food and Drug Crime Investigation has deployed efforts to strictly crack down on illegal manufacturing, sales, and use of banned or restricted pesticides, in accordance with the law.

The Bureau of Environmental, Food, and Drug Crime Investigation of the Ministry of Public Security demands to adhere to proactive policing, actively coordinate with relevant departments to carry out joint law enforcement, focus on key locations, key areas, and key links involved in the production, operation, and use of pesticides, strengthen patrols and investigations, and actively uncover illegal activity clues.

From a fundamental perspective, the short-term sharp decline in prices is mostly driven by sentiment. Even if the war ends, the new demand for strategic reserves, rising insurance and freight costs related to the Strait of Hormuz, and broader geopolitical risk premiums in the market may still support oil prices. Meanwhile, the potential legislation on "toll fees" for the Strait of Hormuz could have a profound impact on global trade, essentially turning geopolitical conflicts into long-term economic harvesting tools. In the short term, oil prices may find it difficult to fully unwind the "war premium." Data-wise, as of April 3, API crude oil inventories increased by 3.72M barrels, gasoline inventories decreased by 3.97M barrels per day, and distillate inventories decreased by 599k barrels per day. The reduction in refined product inventories indicates a continued improvement in fundamentals. In the short term, attention should be paid to Trump's attitude toward the Middle East and the navigation situation in the Strait of Hormuz, as oil price volatility may increase. Be cautious of trading pace and risks. (Everbright Futures)
