China's Third Plenum to Address Commodity Market Challenges

Expected policy adjustments could impact solar power, copper, steel, oil refining, and grains sectors.

  • China's commodities markets are facing overcapacity and weak demand, prompting anticipation of policy tweaks at the third plenum.
  • Solar power sector struggles with excess capacity and grid issues, potentially leading to increased spending on infrastructure.
  • Copper demand may rise if Beijing supports the grid and clean energy investments, despite recent price declines.
  • Steel market remains vulnerable due to reduced housing demand, with potential benefits from public works spending.
  • Oil refiners face challenges from China's shift to clean energy and possible tax reforms targeting independent refiners.
