Macro News 1. According to a report from the UK on the 6th, a source indicated that the United States and Iran have received a proposal for a ceasefire agreement, which could take effect on the 6th. The source stated that Pakistan has drafted a framework plan to end the conflict and has communicated it to the US and Iran. The plan proposes an immediate ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz first, followed by reaching a final agreement within 15 to 20 days. The final agreement may include Iran's commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of sanctions and the unfreezing of assets. 2. Iran has responded to the US proposal for ending the war via Pakistan. Iran ruled out the possibility of a temporary ceasefire, emphasizing the need for a permanent end to the conflict. It demanded the establishment of a safe passage agreement for the Strait of Hormuz, post-war reconstruction, and the lifting of sanctions. Former President Trump commented that the proposal, while meaningful, was not good enough. 3. To maintain ample liquidity in the banking system, the People's Bank of China will conduct an 800 billion yuan outright reverse repo operation today, April 7th.

A team led by Hu Yongsheng at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published significant results in *Nature Energy*: the team successfully developed a polymerizable non-flammable electrolyte (PNE) with self-protection capabilities, achieving complete prevention of thermal runaway in ampere-hour level sodium-ion batteries for the first time globally. When the battery temperature abnormally rises above 150°C, the PNE automatically solidifies from a liquid into a dense barrier, akin to building an "intelligent firewall" inside the battery, completely cutting off the path for thermal runaway propagation. 5. According to information from the Ministry of Commerce, during the Qingming Festival holiday, many regions implemented extended spring breaks, leading to a strong release of consumer demand and injecting vitality into the spring consumer market.

These projects will involve collaborative research efforts with industry players. 9. The Middle East conflict has led to disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, causing a sharp surge in global shipping costs and a rapid increase in war risk insurance premiums for vessels. Additionally, shipping companies must consider freight rates, which industry insiders say have increased by 11 to 12 times. The layered transmission of insurance and rerouting costs continues to impact global trade and supply chain security. 10. A reporter learned from industry chain sources that Foxconn is trialing production of a foldable screen iPhone for Apple.

Investment Reference 1. Downstream application paths are becoming clearer; the hydrogen energy industry may be approaching a turning point for scale and commercialization. Media reports indicate that due to tense geopolitical situations, international oil prices have risen significantly recently, further highlighting the importance of new energy. Among these, hydrogen energy is highly anticipated as it can both absorb surplus green electricity upstream and provide clean, efficient energy downstream. Hydrogen energy is emerging as a core hub for addressing the dual challenges of energy security and deep decarbonization. On one hand, recent international geopolitical turmoil has further exposed the fragility of energy supply chains. On the other hand, the decarbonization process is entering a deep-water zone. Industries, chemicals, transportation, and other "hard-to-abate sectors" have become the main battleground for carbon reduction, with carbon reduction targets forcing accelerated demand for hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol. The paths for downstream applications of hydrogen energy are gradually becoming clear, expected to break through first in price-insensitive areas like transportation and chemicals, progressing along the path of "green shipping, hydrogen heavy-duty trucks, chemicals, metallurgy, and energy storage." Guojin Securities points out that as an important part of the future national energy system, hydrogen energy is standing at a historical turning point for scale and commercialization. 2. Raw material supply disruptions; some Japanese tungsten hexafluoride suppliers plan to halt supply. Media reports indicate that Japanese tungsten hexafluoride (WF6) suppliers, such as Kanto Denka Kogyo and Central Glass, have begun notifying South Korean semiconductor companies, including Samsung Electronics and DB HiTek, of disruptions in their raw material supply. It is reported that these WF6 suppliers will use existing tungsten inventories to maintain supply until May or June but cannot guarantee supply for the second half of the year. In semiconductor manufacturing, WF6 is primarily used as a key tungsten source, widely applied in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes. Leveraging tungsten's excellent conductivity, thermal stability, and high aspect ratio gap-filling capability, WF6 can deposit dense, uniform tungsten films on silicon wafer surfaces. These films are used to build internal circuit interconnect structures in chips, responsible for electrical signal transmission, making them an indispensable key material in high-integration chip manufacturing. Regarding global capacity layout, according to Zhiyan Consulting statistics, the current global total WF6 capacity is approximately 10,350 tons, with mainland China's capacity reaching 5,130 tons, accounting for over half of the global total capacity, demonstrating China's important position in the global supply chain.
