1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating in the report 2. Core View of the Report - Despite the Fed's hawkish future interest - rate cut path, disruptions in overseas copper mines are leading to an expected supply - demand imbalance, which may cause the Shanghai copper price to be more likely to rise than fall [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Data - **Shanghai Copper Futures**: On September 24, 2025, the closing price of the active contract was 79,960, up 40 from the previous day; trading volume was 51,727 hands, down 11,472; open interest was 172,444 hands, down 850; inventory was 27,419 tons, down 308; the basis was 85, down 5; the average price of SMM 1 electrolytic copper was 80,045, up 35 [2] - **London Copper**: On September 24, 2025, the closing price of the LME 3 - month copper futures (electronic trading) was 10,320, up 326.5 from the previous day; the LME copper futures 0 - 3 month contract spread was - 31.37, up 41.74; the 3 - 15 month contract spread was - 67.22, up 93.07; the Shanghai - London copper price ratio was 7.7481, down 0.25 [2] - **COMEX Copper**: On September 24, 2025, the closing price of the active copper futures contract was 4.8275, up 0.18 from the previous day; the total inventory was 318,229, down 56 [2] 3.2 Important Information - A fatal mudslide occurred at the Grasberg mine of Freeport McMoRan's Indonesian subsidiary. Freeport expects to resume production to pre - accident levels by 2027 at the earliest, and the copper and gold production in 2026 may decline by about 35% compared to pre - accident estimates [2] 3.3 Supply - Demand and Inventory Analysis - **Supply**: The accident at Freeport's Grasberg copper mine in Indonesia on September 8 may reduce the 2026 copper and gold production by about 35%. There are disruptions in the production of multiple domestic and foreign copper mines, leading to a negative and rising China copper concentrate import index, a tight supply - demand expectation for copper concentrates and scrap copper, a decline in processing fees for refined copper or anode plates, and an increase in the maintenance capacity of copper smelters from September to October [2] - **Demand**: The expectation of the traditional consumption peak season is leading to a recovery in demand in some copper processing industries [2] - **Inventory**: The social inventory of Chinese electrolytic copper decreased compared to last week; the inventory of LME electrolytic copper decreased compared to last week, while the COMEX copper inventory increased [2] 3.4 Trading Strategy - It is recommended to take long positions when the price drops. Pay attention to the support levels around 77,000 - 79,000 and resistance levels around 81,000 - 83,000 for Shanghai copper; support levels around 9,600 - 9,900 and resistance levels around 10,200 - 10,500 for London copper; support levels around 4.3 - 4.5 and resistance levels around 4.8 - 5.0 for US copper [2]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - The industrial silicon market is in high - level consolidation. The supply side has potential disturbances, and the short - term silicon price may maintain high - level consolidation, but there is a risk of a subsequent decline. For polysilicon, the price is also in high - level consolidation, and it is difficult for the spot price to rise further in the short term due to high downstream raw material inventories [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Industrial Silicon - **Price Data**: The average price of non - oxygenated 553 (East China) remained flat at 9,200 yuan/ton, and the average price of 421 (East China) remained flat at 9,700 yuan/ton. The closing price of the futures main contract rose 1.06% to 9,020 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply and Demand**: On the supply side, some previously shut - down silicon plants in Xinjiang have resumed production, and the start - up rate in the southwest region has steadily increased. On the demand side, polysilicon enterprises are still reducing production, some silicon material plants have复产 plans, organic silicon supply has tightened and then recovered, and silicon - aluminum alloy enterprises purchase on demand [1]. - **Investment Strategy**: Adopt interval operation and continue to hold out - of - the - money put options [1]. Polysilicon - **Price Data**: N - type dense material fell 0.29% to 51 yuan/kg, N - type re - feed material fell 0.28% to 52.5 yuan/kg, N - type mixed material fell 0.30% to 50 yuan/kg, and N - type granular silicon remained flat at 49.5 yuan/kg. The closing price of the futures main contract rose 2.23% to 51,380 yuan/ton [1]. - **Supply and Demand**: On the supply side, silicon material enterprises are still reducing production, and some may have new capacity put into operation, with a slight increase in expected output. On the demand side, trading volume has increased significantly, inventory has decreased, but terminal demand pressure is large, and component price increases face resistance [1]. - **Investment Strategy**: Before the supply - side reform policy is implemented, try to go long on dips with a light position [1]. Industry News - On the evening of September 24, Xinjiang Dongfang Hope New Energy Co., Ltd. started the annual routine maintenance of its first - phase polysilicon production line, and its third - phase project is ready for shutdown and maintenance. This is expected to have a positive impact on product quality and production stability, and will not have a major impact on overall supply [1]. - On September 23, the winning bid results of the first - batch photovoltaic module procurement framework (third tender) of a technology company from 2025 - 2026 were announced, with winning bid prices ranging from 0.71 - 0.76 yuan/W [1].

Report Summary 1. Investment Ratings No investment ratings for the industry are provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Lead**: The average price of SMM1 lead ingots and the closing price of the main lead futures contract decreased slightly. The supply of lead is temporarily tightened, with no expected increase in lead concentrate imports, rising processing fees, and reduced production in the secondary lead sector. Demand from the terminal market is weak, and it is expected that the lead price will remain in high - level consolidation in the short term, with limited upside potential [1]. - **Zinc**: The average price of SMM1 zinc ingots decreased slightly, while the closing price of the main zinc futures contract increased slightly. The supply of zinc is increasing, with sufficient raw material reserves in smelters and improved production enthusiasm. Demand has slightly improved but was affected by typhoon weather. Although the fundamentals of Shanghai zinc are weak, the low LME zinc inventory and the expected interest rate cut support the zinc price, and the downside space of Shanghai zinc is expected to be limited in the short term [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs **Lead** - **Price and Market Indicators**: The average price of SMM1 lead ingots was 16,950 yuan/ton, down 0.15%; the closing price of the main futures contract was 17,065 yuan/ton, down 0.12%; the trading volume of the active futures contract decreased by 11.13% to 43,329 lots, and the open interest decreased by 4.49% to 61,071 lots; the LME3 - month lead futures closing price (electronic trading) was 2,002.50 dollars/ton, up 0.18% [1]. - **Supply**: Lead concentrate imports have no expected increase, and processing fees are likely to rise. Some primary lead smelters have maintenance plans, and the start - up rate fluctuates slightly. In the secondary lead sector, due to raw material and loss factors, the start - up rate is less than 30%, and the supply is temporarily tightened [1]. - **Demand**: The terminal market shows no significant improvement, and dealers mainly digest inventory. Production enterprises produce according to sales. Attention should be paid to the pre - holiday inventory replenishment of downstream enterprises [1]. - **News**: A small secondary lead smelter in South China has resumed production, mainly for long - term order delivery. On September 23, the [LME0 - 3 lead] was at a discount of 42.13 dollars/ton, and the open interest increased by 953 lots to 160,598 lots [1]. **Zinc** - **Price and Market Indicators**: The average price of SMM1 zinc ingots was 21,750 yuan/ton, down 0.28%; the closing price of the main futures contract was 21,860 yuan/ton, up 0.07%; the trading volume of the active futures contract decreased by 12.45% to 109,733 lots, and the open interest increased by 1.07% to 141,867 lots; the LME3 - month zinc futures closing price (electronic trading) was 2,922.50 dollars/ton, up 1.14% [1]. - **Supply**: Smelters have sufficient raw material inventories, and zinc ore processing fees are rising. The profit and production enthusiasm of smelters have improved, and the output shows an obvious increasing trend [1]. - **Demand**: Demand has slightly improved but was affected by typhoon weather, causing some enterprises in South China to shut down for about two days. The export window for zinc ingots may open as the Shanghai - London ratio deteriorates [1]. - **News**: The zinc output of Antamina Mine is expected to increase by 67% this year to 450,000 tons, offsetting a 12% decrease in copper output. On September 23, the [LME0 - 3 zinc] was at a premium of 43.16 dollars/ton, and the open interest increased by 493 lots to 216,077 lots [1]. 4. Trading Strategies - **Lead**: Temporarily hold a wait - and - see attitude [1]. - **Zinc**: Try to go long at low prices with a light position [1].

Group 2: Core Views - On September 23, the Shanghai nickel main contract oscillated at a low level, with trading volume of 52,899 thousand (-13,200) and open interest of 37,993 lots (-7,075). LME nickel rose 0.83%. The spot market trading was weak, and the basis premium narrowed. Considering the supply side, nickel ore prices remained flat, last week's nickel ore arrivals increased, and port inventories accumulated. The loss of nickel-iron plants narrowed, domestic production in September increased, as did Indonesia's production, and nickel-iron inventories decreased. In September, domestic electrolytic nickel production increased, and export profits expanded. On the demand side, ternary production decreased, stainless steel plant production increased, and alloy and electroplating demand was stable. In terms of inventory, SHFE decreased, LME increased, social inventories increased, and bonded area inventories decreased. With the Fed's interest rate cut implemented, the nickel fundamentals are weak with inventory pressure, and nickel prices are expected to oscillate at a low level [2]. - On September 23, the stainless steel main contract oscillated within a range, with trading volume of 139,017 lots (+402) and open interest of 123,891 lots (-6,126). The spot market saw fair trading at low prices, and the basis premium widened. In terms of inventory, SHFE inventories decreased, and last week's 300-series social inventories were 593,400 tons (-2,900). On the supply side, stainless steel production in September increased. On the demand side, terminal demand was weak. At the cost end, high-nickel pig iron prices rose, as did high-carbon ferrochrome prices. Although the fundamentals are loose, the cost end provides support and inventory pressure is not significant, so prices are expected to oscillate within a range [2]. Group 3: Summary of Relevant Catalogs Nickel Market - **Futures Prices**: On September 23, the closing prices of Shanghai nickel's near-month, continuous first, continuous second, and continuous third contracts were 120,730 yuan/ton, 120,910 yuan/ton, 121,100 yuan/ton, and 121,340 yuan/ton respectively, all showing a decline compared to the previous day.
