The profit of zinc smelting has slightly improved, while the destocking of domestic zinc ingot social inventory has slowed down. After the repair of the Shanghai-London ratio, the situation of element outflow has improved, and the domestic zinc industry remains weak. The US PMI data released on the night of January 23 was slightly lower than expected, and the double-loose policy has not yet been reflected in the economic data. Before the release of the next round of economic data, the non-ferrous sector may enter a period of volatile consolidation, during which the trading focus of Shanghai zinc may shift from strong macro to weak reality [11] Group 3: Summary by Directory 01 - Weekly Assessment - **Price Review**: Last Friday, the Shanghai Zinc Index closed up 0.77% at 24,600 yuan/ton, with a total open interest of 223,000 lots in unilateral trading.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not specified in the provided content 2. Core View of the Report - In the context of loose policies in the US, Europe, and China, and the recovery of overseas equity markets, the sentiment in the non - ferrous metals sector is not pessimistic. Most metal prices are expected to show different trends of volatility in the short term. The non - ferrous metals sector is generally considered bullish in the medium term during the "double - loose" cycle, but the PMI data on Friday night needs further observation [2][3][13][15] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Copper - **Market Information**: LME continued to deliver stocks, precious metal prices strengthened, and copper prices declined and then rebounded. LME copper inventory increased by 8850 to 168,250 tons, with increments from North American and Asian warehouses. Domestic electrolytic copper social inventory accumulation slowed down, and the spot discount of Shanghai and Guangdong regions continued to improve marginally. The loss of spot copper imports in Shanghai narrowed to about 650 yuan/ton, and the refined - scrap copper price difference narrowed [2] - **Strategy View**: The copper ore supply remains tight, the LME market spot is relatively strong, but the North American inventory is increasing marginally, and the refined copper supply is relatively surplus. Short - term copper prices are expected to fluctuate. The reference range for the main contract of Shanghai copper today is 99,000 - 102,000 yuan/ton; the reference range for LME copper 3M is 12,650 - 13,050 US dollars/ton [3] Aluminum - **Market Information**: The sentiment in the non - ferrous metals sector fluctuated with precious metals, and aluminum prices oscillated upwards. LME aluminum closed up 0.64% at 3137 US dollars/ton, and the main contract of Shanghai aluminum closed at 24,070 yuan/ton. Domestic aluminum ingot and aluminum rod social inventories increased slightly, and the processing fee of aluminum rods decreased with poor market transactions. LME aluminum ingot inventory increased to 509,000 tons [5] - **Strategy View**: The impact of the US - Europe situation has weakened, and the sentiment has returned to the influence of the economy and policies. The high premium of US aluminum spot and the relatively low LME aluminum inventory limit the downside space of aluminum prices. The demand is expected to improve under the expectation of "rush - to - export" in the photovoltaic industry, and short - term aluminum prices still have support. The reference range for the main contract of Shanghai aluminum today is 23,900 - 24,300 yuan/ton; the reference range for LME aluminum 3M is 3100 - 3170 US dollars/ton [6][7] Cast Aluminum Alloy - **Market Information**: The price of cast aluminum alloy fluctuated, the main AD2603 contract closed down 0.17% at 22,855 yuan/ton, the weighted contract position decreased, and the trading volume shrank. The price difference between AL2603 and AD2603 contracts narrowed. Domestic mainstream ADC12 prices were flat, and downstream procurement was mainly for rigid demand. The inventory of domestic mainstream market aluminum alloy ingots decreased, while the in - factory inventory increased [9] - **Strategy View**: The cost of cast aluminum alloy is relatively strong, and the supply - side disturbances continue, so the price support is strong, but the demand is relatively average. Short - term prices are expected to fluctuate and consolidate [10] Lead - **Market Information**: The Shanghai lead index closed up 0.14% at 17,145 yuan/ton, and the LME lead 3S fell 7 to 2032 US dollars/ton. The domestic 1 lead ingot average price was 16,900 yuan/ton, and the refined - scrap lead price difference was 100 yuan/ton. The domestic and LME lead ingot inventories were 27,800 tons and 222,700 tons respectively. The national main market lead ingot social inventory increased by 4800 tons from January 19 to 34,200 tons on January 22 [12] - **Strategy View**: The visible inventory of lead concentrates declined, the production rate of primary lead remained high and increased slightly. The raw material inventory of secondary lead increased, and the weekly production rate increased marginally. The lead price is still close to the upper edge of the long - term oscillation range, and the supply of lead ingots is increasing marginally. The production rate of downstream battery enterprises is improving marginally, and the social inventory of lead ingots is accumulating. After the winter temperature drops, the transportation of waste batteries is difficult, the pricing coefficient of waste materials increases, and the smelting profit of secondary lead decreases slightly. The lead price has given back some of its gains as the sentiment in the non - ferrous metals sector fades, but the non - ferrous metals sector is still considered bullish in the medium term during the "double - loose" cycle, and the PMI data on Friday night needs further observation [13] Zinc - **Market Information**: The Shanghai zinc index closed up 0.23% at 24,412 yuan/ton, and the LME zinc 3S rose 5 to 3199 US dollars/ton. The domestic 0 zinc ingot average price was 24,310 yuan/ton, and the basis in different regions varied. The domestic and LME zinc ingot inventories were 30,300 tons and 111,900 tons respectively. The national main market zinc ingot social inventory decreased by 3500 tons from January 19 to 108,600 tons on January 22 [14] - **Strategy View**: The port inventory of zinc ore decreased slightly, the import TC of zinc concentrates decreased slightly, and the zinc smelting profit increased slightly with the rise of zinc prices. The social inventory of zinc ingots began to accumulate, and the Shanghai - LME ratio stagnated and declined. Since December 24, 2025, the domestic zinc - copper ratio has reached a new low since the listing of Shanghai zinc in 2007, and since January 9, 2026, the domestic zinc - aluminum ratio has reached a new low since 2013. Zinc prices have a large room for catch - up compared with copper and aluminum. Zinc prices are still in the process of catching up with the macro - attribute of the sector. The zinc price has given back some of its gains as the sentiment in the non - ferrous metals sector fades, but the non - ferrous metals sector is still considered bullish in the medium term during the "double - loose" cycle, and the PMI data on Friday night needs further observation [15] Tin - **Market Information**: On January 22, tin prices fell slightly, and the main contract of Shanghai tin closed at 409,010 yuan/ton, down 2.25%. The smelting production rates of tin ingots in Yunnan and Jiangxi were generally high and stable, but the refined tin output in Jiangxi was still low due to the shortage of scrap tin raw materials. The resumption of production in Wa State, Myanmar accelerated, and the raw material shortage in Yunnan was significantly relieved. The sharp rise in tin prices last week significantly suppressed downstream procurement willingness, and the market was lightly traded. As of January 16, 2026, the national main market tin ingot social inventory increased by 2560 tons to 10,636 tons [16] - **Strategy View**: The supply - demand of tin has improved marginally, the short - term inventory accumulation trend may continue to put pressure on prices, and with the withdrawal of speculative funds, tin prices may fluctuate. It is recommended to wait and see. The reference range for the domestic main contract is 390,000 - 440,000 yuan/ton, and the reference range for overseas LME tin is 48,000 - 54,000 US dollars/ton [17] Nickel - **Market Information**: On January 22, nickel prices fluctuated narrowly, and the main contract of Shanghai nickel closed at 140,410 yuan/ton, down 0.39%. In the spot market, the premium and discount of each brand were stable. The price of nickel ore was stable, and the price of nickel iron rose significantly [18] - **Strategy View**: Although the output of refined nickel is expected to increase in January, it has not been continuously reflected in the visible inventory. It is expected that under the expectation of the reduction of the RKAB quota in Indonesia, Shanghai nickel will still fluctuate widely in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see. The short - term reference range for Shanghai nickel prices is 130,000 - 160,000 yuan/ton, and the reference range for LME nickel 3M is 16,000 - 19,000 US dollars/ton [18] Lithium Carbonate - **Market Information**: The MMLC spot index of lithium carbonate closed at 165,701 yuan, up 3.62%. The average price of battery - grade lithium carbonate increased by 5750 yuan (+3.59%), and the average price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate increased by 3.82%. The LC2605 contract closed at 168,780 yuan, up 1.22%. The weekly output of domestic lithium carbonate decreased by 1.7% to 22,217 tons, and the inventory decreased by 783 tons (-0.7%) [20] - **Strategy View**: The commodity market has rebounded continuously. The main contract of lithium carbonate reached the previous high and then fell back. This week, the weekly output and inventory of domestic lithium carbonate both decreased. The "rush - to - export" of batteries supports the off - season demand, and the domestic output has reached a high point due to the maintenance of lithium salt plants. The short - term supply of the ore end is highly uncertain, the overall commodity market fluctuates greatly, and the sharp rise of lithium prices hides the risk of a callback. It is recommended to wait and see or try with a light position. The reference range for the Guangzhou Futures Exchange's lithium carbonate 2605 contract today is 160,000 - 174,000 yuan/ton [21][22] Alumina - **Market Information**: On January 22, 2026, the alumina index rose 1.7% to 2712 yuan/ton, and the unilateral trading position increased. The Shandong spot price decreased, and the overseas FOB price was stable. The import loss was 77 yuan/ton. The futures warehouse receipt increased, and the price of bauxite in Guinea decreased [24] - **Strategy View**: After the rainy season, the shipment from Guinea is gradually recovering, and with the resumption of production in the AXIS mine, the ore price is expected to fluctuate downward. The over - capacity pattern of the alumina smelting end is difficult to change in the short term, and the inventory accumulation trend continues. The market has increased expectations for the implementation of supply - contraction policies, but the continuous rebound still faces three difficulties: over - capacity in the smelting end, downward - moving cost support, and the pressure of expiring warehouse receipt delivery. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term. The reference range for the domestic main contract AO2605 is 2650 - 2800 yuan/ton, and attention should be paid to supply - side policies, Guinea's ore policies, and the Fed's monetary policy [25] Stainless Steel - **Market Information**: The main stainless - steel contract closed at 14,720 yuan/ton on Thursday, up 2.61%. The spot prices in Foshan and Wuxi markets increased. The price of raw materials such as high - nickel iron and high - carbon ferrochrome was stable or increased. The futures inventory decreased, and the social inventory decreased to 883,500 tons, with the 300 - series inventory decreasing by 1.00% [27] - **Strategy View**: On January 14, Indonesia's mining authority said that the annual nickel ore production target is expected to be about 250 - 260 million tons, and the market's optimistic sentiment has increased. Stainless steel has shown a trend of increasing volume and price. Due to the limitation of raw material supply, the production schedules of many mainstream steel mills have slowed down, and the market supply is tight. In the short term, the market is expected to remain strong, and the price may show a high - level oscillation pattern. The reference range for the main contract is 14,200 - 15,230 yuan/ton [28]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - For sugar, the current raw sugar price has fallen below the support of the Brazilian ethanol conversion price. After the new Brazilian sugar - cane crushing season in April this year, there is a possibility of reducing the sugar - cane - to - sugar ratio. After the northern hemisphere starts to finish the sugar - cane crushing in February and the negative impact of increased production is basically realized, the international sugar price may rebound. The supply of imported sugar in China is gradually decreasing, and the downside space of the sugar price in the short - term is limited. It is recommended to wait and see for now [4]. - For cotton, in the medium - to - long - term, with the reduction of the planting area in the new year and the positive macro - economic expectations in the future, the cotton price still has room to rise. However, due to the large short - term increase, it needs time to digest. It is recommended to wait for the price to pull back and then choose the opportunity to go long [9]. - For protein meal, the January USDA report data is slightly bearish. Although the overall balance sheet is better than that of the 2024/25 season, the increase in China's purchase of US soybeans supports the CBOT US soybean price but is bearish for the domestic meal prices. The possible significant reduction of the import tax rate of Canadian rapeseed is also a major bearish factor for domestic rapeseed prices. The protein meal price has fallen to the previous low, and with many bearish news, the short - term volatility will increase. It is recommended to wait and see for now [13]. - For oils and fats, the high production and weak exports in the main palm - oil producing areas have led to high inventories. The inventory of the three major domestic oils and fats is also at a relatively high level, and the current fundamentals are weak. However, in the long - term, the expected reduction of production in Malaysia, the confiscation of illegal plantations in Indonesia, and the expected increase in US biodiesel soybean - oil consumption in 2026 are positive. It is recommended to wait and see in the short - term [18]. - For eggs, due to insufficient inventory accumulation under the previous pessimistic sentiment, the spot price increase during the pre - festival stocking period exceeded expectations, driving the near - month contracts to fluctuate strongly. However, the overall supply is still abundant, and the spot price is about to realize the seasonal increase. The near - month contracts have post - festival attributes and may fluctuate with limited upside and downside. The far - end contracts have long - term positive expectations due to the peak of production capacity, but the realization path is uncertain. Attention should be paid to the pressure after over - valuation [21]. - For pigs, low prices and the festival effect have stimulated consumption. The large difference between the prices of fat and standard pigs has led to sentiment of holding back sales and delaying slaughter. After the Winter Solstice, the spot price has increased significantly, driving the futures price to rebound rationally. In the short - term, the structural contradiction has not been resolved, and the downward driving force of the spot price is insufficient, which may continue to support the near - month contracts to fluctuate strongly. In the medium - term, the supply base is still large, and there is a risk of the live - pig inventory piling up later. The far - end price may still be under pressure in the future [24].

1. Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has disappeared and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. Maintain a range strategy of buying low and selling high, but currently, wait and see as the price needs to test OPEC's export price - support willingness. [2] - For methanol, with low valuation and an improving outlook next year, the downside is limited. Despite short - term negative pressure, geopolitical instability in Iran brings expectations, and there is feasibility to buy on dips. [3] - For urea, the current situation of internal - external price differences has opened the import window, and with the expected increase in production at the end of January, negative fundamental expectations are coming, so take profits on rallies. [6] - For rubber, with a weak seasonal pattern, it is expected to continue to decline after consolidation. Adopt a bearish approach, short on rebounds if RU2605 breaks below 16000, and partially build positions for the strategy of buying NR main contract and shorting RU2609. [11] - For PVC, the fundamentals are poor with strong supply and weak demand in China. Short - term electricity price expectations and pre - April 1 export rush support the price, but mid - term, short on rallies before significant industry production cuts. [14] - For pure benzene and styrene, the non - integrated profit of styrene is moderately high with limited room for upward valuation repair. As the non - integrated profit has significantly recovered, gradually take profits. [17] - For polyethylene, OPEC+ plans to suspend production growth in Q1 2026, and crude oil prices may have bottomed. Although the spot price has risen, the valuation has room to decline further. With no new capacity planned in H1 2026 and reduced coal - based inventory, the price has support, but demand is in a seasonal downturn. [20] - For polypropylene, the EIA report forecasts a slight reduction in global oil inventory, and the supply surplus may ease. With no new capacity in H1 2026, the supply pressure is relieved. In a context of weak supply and demand, the inventory pressure is high. Wait for the supply - surplus situation to change in Q1 next year for the price to bottom. Long the PP5 - 9 spread on dips. [23] - For PX, it is expected to continue to accumulate inventory before the maintenance season. After the Spring Festival, both PX and its downstream PTA will have strong supply - demand, and there are mid - term opportunities to buy on dips following crude oil. [26] - For PTA, it is expected to enter the Spring Festival inventory - accumulation stage with high short - term maintenance on the supply side and weakening demand due to seasonality. There is room for valuation to rise after the Spring Festival, and look for mid - term buying opportunities. [28] - For ethylene glycol, the overall load is still high, and the inventory - accumulation cycle at ports will continue. There is an expectation of further profit compression and load reduction under new - plant commissioning pressure. Be cautious of rebound risks in the short term due to the tense situation in Iran and cold wave expectations. [30] 3. Summary of Each Product Crude Oil - **Market Information**: INE main crude oil futures rose 5.30 yuan/barrel, or 1.20%, to 446.40 yuan/barrel.

[1] - **Strategy**: Maintain a range strategy of buying low and selling high, but wait and see currently. [2] Methanol - **Market Information**: Regional spot prices in Jiangsu changed by 5 yuan/ton, Lunan by - 5 yuan/ton, Henan by 0 yuan/ton, Hebei by 0 yuan/ton, and Inner Mongolia by - 2.5 yuan/ton.

[6] Rubber - **Market Information**: Rubber prices rebounded with a volatile pattern. The long - side reasons include limited production growth in Southeast Asian rubber forests, a seasonal upward trend in the second half of the year, and improved demand expectations in China. The short - side reasons are uncertain macro expectations, increased supply, and a seasonal demand slump.
