Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Buy" [1] Core Views - Base Metals: Strong demand expectations support base metal prices, which are expected to fluctuate. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations have risen, while actual domestic demand is gradually weakening. Industrial metal supply is weak, leading to anticipated price fluctuations. Attention is drawn to the Central Economic Work Conference for demand support. Recommended stocks include: Luoyang Molybdenum (A+H), Western Mining, Jincheng Mining, China Aluminum (A+H), Yunnan Aluminum, and Tianshan Aluminum [2]. - Steel: Supply and demand are rising simultaneously, with slight declines in steel prices and continued profit margin declines. On the supply side, blast furnace operations have rebounded, but steel mill profit margins are declining, with significant constraints on pig iron supply. On the demand side, short-term demand is recovering, and macro incremental policies are being monitored. Cost-wise, weakening profit margins are expected to suppress raw material procurement demand. The supply-demand pattern is expected to remain stable in the short term, with steel prices fluctuating. Future incremental policies are expected to stabilize expectations, with recommended stocks including: Baosteel, Hualing Steel, Jiuli Special Materials, and Yongjin Co.

Recommended stocks include: Ganfeng Lithium (A+H), Shengxin Lithium Energy, and Huayou Cobalt [3]. - Minor Metals: Short-term tungsten and molybdenum prices are expected to remain stable. In the off-season, rare earth prices are expected to weaken slightly. Tungsten prices have slightly declined, with the industry chain continuing to engage in mild competition, while molybdenum prices are expected to fluctuate at high levels due to slow downstream stainless steel inventory digestion.
