The tight supply expectation at the mine end still exists, and the weekly processing fee increased slightly [20]. 3.4 Aluminum Raw Material Supply - The supply disruption of bauxite in Guinea has eased, but there is still room for fermentation. The previously suspended port in Guinea has resumed operations, but due to the rainy season and the unfinished government election, future supply disruptions may occur [21][23]. - The alumina supply side has seen an increase in production and a rapid increase in inventory. With the recovery of alumina prices, the production and willingness to start operations of alumina enterprises have increased simultaneously [24][25]. - The electrolytic aluminum supply side has maintained a high - level operation. Electrolytic aluminum enterprises have a strong willingness to start operations due to high profits, but the available primary aluminum in the market is limited. Recently, due to insufficient downstream demand, the profit of aluminum alloy ingots has declined, which may reduce the proportion of molten aluminum and increase the ingot - casting volume [28]. - As of August 15, the LME aluminum inventory was 479,600 tons, an increase of 9,000 tons from last week; the SHFE aluminum inventory was 120,700 tons, an increase of 7,000 tons from last week; as of August 14, the COMEX aluminum inventory was 9,061 tons, a decrease of 50 tons from last week. Overall, the electrolytic aluminum inventory continued to accumulate this week [30][31]. 3.5 Demand Side - In June, automobile production and sales were 2.794 million and 2.904 million respectively, a month - on - month increase of 5.5% and 8.1%, and a year - on - year increase of 11.4% and 13.8%. New energy vehicle production and sales were 1.268 million and 1.329 million respectively, a year - on - year increase of 35% and 36.9%, and new energy vehicle sales accounted for 45.8% of total vehicle sales [34]. - From January to June, the new housing construction area was 303.64 million square meters, a decrease of 20%. Among them, the new residential construction area was 222.88 million square meters, a decrease of 19.6%. The housing completion area was 225.67 million square meters, a decrease of 14.8%. Among them, the residential completion area was 162.66 million square meters, a decrease of 15.5% [36]. - In June, the new photovoltaic installed capacity was 14.36GW, a year - on - year decrease of 38% and a month - on - month decrease of 84.54%.

Among them, the wind power installed capacity was 570 million kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 22.7% [38]. 3.6 Lithium - related Market - The lithium spodumene concentrate (CIF China) index soared this week. The latest quote was $940/ton, an increase of $163 (20.98%) from August 8, reaching an annual high [41]. - The core trading logic of the lithium carbonate market this week revolved around the shutdown expectation caused by the expiration of mining licenses of 8 mining areas. The main 2511 contract rose 12.91% this week. Although the Jiaxiaowo lithium mine has shut down, the mining licenses of the other 7 mines will not expire until 2027. The new Mineral Resources Law has upgraded the associated - mineral recognition standard for lithium. The shutdown of the Jiaxiaowo lithium mine has led to a monthly gap of about 10,000 tons of lithium carbonate. In the short - term, lithium carbonate is prone to rise and difficult to fall, but there is still uncertainty about the policy implementation of the other 7 mining areas [42]. 3.7 Strategy Recommendation - For lithium carbonate, in the short - term, be cautious of market sentiment fluctuations and do not hold heavy positions; in the long - term, the oversupply pattern remains unchanged [43]. - For alumina and Shanghai aluminum, in the short - term, they will oscillate within a range, and it is advisable to go long on dips; in the long - term, pay attention to the improvement of downstream orders during the consumption peak season [44][45].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - China's economic recovery foundation is unstable, with insufficient demand as the main contradiction. The stock index may adjust after continuous rises, and gold may continue to adjust after a short - term rebound. In the short term, beware of the callback risk of the stock index and maintain a band - short view on gold. In the medium - to - long term, the stock index may maintain a wide - range shock, and gold has a risk of deep adjustment [4][38] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macroeconomic Situation - From January to July this year, the growth rate of fixed - asset investment continued to decline, and industrial added value decreased year - on - year but remained at a high level. Social consumer goods retail growth slowed down, indicating that China's economic recovery foundation is unstable, with the characteristics of strong production but weak demand and strong service industry but weak manufacturing still significant [4][38] 3.2 Stock Index Fundamental Data - The gap between M1 and M2 has further narrowed, indicating abundant market liquidity, but the inflection point of enterprise profit growth has not arrived, and enterprises are still in the active de - stocking stage. The balance of margin trading in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets has exceeded 2 trillion yuan, and the central bank conducted 7118 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations this week, achieving a net withdrawal of 4149 billion yuan [15][18] 3.3 Gold Fundamental Data - In July, the US CPI rose 2.7% year - on - year, the same as last month, and the core CPI rose 3.1% year - on - year (previous value 2.9%), reaching a new high since March. The Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates significantly in September. The warehouse receipts and inventory of Shanghai gold futures have increased significantly, while the New York futures inventory has continued to decline, and the market's bullish sentiment has cooled [22][23][35] 3.4 Strategy Recommendation - Short - term: In July, investment, consumption, and industrial added value were lower than expected, and enterprise profits have not improved significantly. Be cautious about the callback risk of the stock index after continuous rises. The market's expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut in September has been digested, and the risk - aversion sentiment has cooled. Gold may continue to adjust after the end of the rebound, maintaining a band - short view. Medium - to - long term: The valuation of the stock index is mainly dragged down by the decline in enterprise profit growth, and it may maintain a wide - range shock. Gold has a risk of deep adjustment due to the fading of risk - aversion sentiment and the full pricing of the interest - rate cut expectation [38]

[29] Strategy Recommendation - Palm oil futures have risen by 4.09% this week. The MPOB monthly supply - demand report shows that Malaysia's palm oil inventory at the end of July has increased by 4.02% from the previous month to 2.11 million tons; the crude palm oil output in July has increased by 7.09% from the previous month to 1.81 million tons; the palm oil export volume in July has increased by 3.82% month - on - month to 1.31 million tons. Although Malaysia's palm oil output in July is still at a relatively high level, the increase is slightly lower than market expectations, and exports have emerged from a slump. The inventory build - up in July is less than market expectations. Before the Indian Diwali in October, the market expects that Indian purchases will drive up the export demand for Malaysian palm oil. Attention should be paid to subsequent high - frequency supply - demand data. In the domestic market, high costs support the spot price of palm oil. The import profit window for palm oil has recently opened. One more purchase contract for November has been added yesterday, and a total of two purchase contracts have been added this week. Downstream buyers mainly purchase as needed. Continuous attention should be paid to high - frequency data on Malaysian palm oil. [30] Next Week's Focus and Risk Warnings - High - frequency data on Malaysian palm oil and weather. [33]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, due to repeated digestion of previous policy benefits and unimproved corporate profits, the stock index may face callback risks after continuous rise; for gold, although the market's expectation of a Fed rate cut in September has increased, the easing of global trade tensions may lead to a continuation of the adjustment after the rebound, maintaining a band - short thinking [39][40] - In the medium - to long - term, the stock index's valuation is dragged down by the decline in corporate profit growth, and it is expected to maintain a wide - range shock; gold may face a deep adjustment due to the fading of tariff policy uncertainties and the release of dovish signals by the Fed [40] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Macroeconomic Data at Home and Abroad - In July this year, the growth rates of imports and exports both rebounded, mainly due to the rise in commodity prices and the low - base effect of the same period last year. However, domestic and foreign demand remains weak [4] 3.2. Stock Index Fundamental Data 3.2.1. Corporate Profit - The rise in commodity prices helps improve the profits of upstream raw material processing industries, but due to weak terminal demand, enterprises still face great operating pressure, with the phenomenon of increasing revenue but not profit. They have to reduce production and inventory, and the inflection point of profit growth has not arrived [15] 3.2.2. Capital Situation - The margin balance of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets is approaching the 2 - trillion - yuan mark.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Report's Core View - Mid - to long - term: After continuous increases due to policy speculation, black - series commodities mainly showed a volatile correction this week. Market sentiment cooled, and the market logic gradually returned to fundamentals. For steel mills, the profitability rate continued to increase, daily hot metal output continued to decline, and overseas ore shipments rebounded.
