1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Not provided in the given reports. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Short - term decline**: For soymeal, rapeseed meal, the short - term supply is sufficient with various influencing factors such as soybean harvest and trade policies, and the prices are expected to decline in the short term [1][3][5]. - **Short - term continued adjustment**: Palm oil and soybean oil are affected by factors like the US biodiesel policy and soybean harvest, and their prices are expected to continue to adjust in the short term [1][6][7]. - **High - level oscillation**: Rapeseed oil is supported by trade disputes and inventory cycles but limited by trade expansion, maintaining a high - level oscillating trend [1]. - **Cautiously bearish**: Cotton and jujube face supply pressure and other issues, and their prices are cautiously expected to decline. Strategies suggest short - term short - allocation for cotton and seizing short - selling opportunities for jujube [1][8][11][14]. - **Cautiously bearish for live pigs**: Live pigs are under supply pressure in the short and medium term, and there is no clear positive news in the long term. The 11 - contract is recommended for short - allocation, and the inter - month reverse spread strategy is maintained [1][15][17]. 3.

Group 1: Investment Ratings and Core Views - **Gold**: Long - term holding. Despite PCE not supporting significant rate cuts, risks such as the US government shutdown and dovish statements from Fed officials provide support. The long - term supporting logic for gold remains unchanged with the start of the rate - cut cycle, geopolitical reshaping, and central bank gold purchases [1]. - **Silver**: Long - term holding for long - term positions, light - position for short - term positions during holidays. Silver follows gold's fluctuations and is also supported by the sentiment of other metals like copper. Global policy stimulus is evident, demand for silver is strong, and there is an obvious supply - demand gap [1]. - **Copper**: Long - term holding. The bullish factors from the Indonesian mine accident have been fully digested by the market, and the Fed's October rate - cut expectation is slightly weakened. In the long - term, copper is still favored due to its strategic importance in the China - US game and the shortage of copper concentrates [1][7]. - **Zinc**: Close short positions and prepare for empty or light positions during holidays. In the long - term, maintain the view of shorting on rebounds as supply increases and demand decreases [1][11]. - **Lead**: Price rebound is under pressure. Enterprises for primary and recycled lead are resuming production, while the expectation of the consumption peak season is still in doubt [1]. - **Tin**: Price rebound is under pressure. The resumption of tin mines in Myanmar's Wa State is slow, there are maintenance and production halts in the domestic supply side, and terminal consumption provides support [1]. - **Aluminum**: Price is under pressure. The expected decrease in overseas bauxite arrivals and the unsmooth destocking of aluminum ingots in domestic main consumption areas contribute to this [1]. - **Nickel**: Price is under pressure. The impact of overseas disturbances on the Indonesian nickel mine has weakened, domestic refined nickel supply remains high, and downstream stainless - steel inventory is piling up again [1]. - **Industrial Silicon**: Price rebound is under pressure. Supply decreases month - on - month while downstream stocking boosts the operating rate, and there is a co - existence of cost support and high inventory [1]. - **Polysilicon**: Cautiously bullish. There is uncertainty in polysilicon production in October, and the execution of industry production control and sales reduction needs attention. Strong policy expectations support the price [1]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Wide - range oscillation. Production continues to increase, but the total inventory has been decreasing for 7 consecutive weeks. Downstream pre - holiday restocking is basically over [1]. Group 2: Gold and Silver Market Review - Despite inflation meeting expectations, risk events such as the government shutdown provided support for the bulls, and gold and silver reached new highs [2]. Basic Logic - The US government is approaching a shutdown, and the political deadlock between the two parties remains unresolved. The White House has started formulating a "government shutdown plan". Although historical experience shows that the issue will eventually be resolved, the short - term impact on the market cannot be underestimated. - The uncertainty of US rate cuts has increased. The US core PCE price index in August met expectations, and real consumer spending exceeded expectations. Inflation remains sticky, consumption is still strong, Trump's tariffs are back, and internal differences are widening. - Consumer confidence has significantly decreased. The final value of the University of Michigan consumer confidence index in September dropped to a four - month low, and the inflation expectations were slightly lower than the initial and previous values. - In the long - term, gold will benefit from global monetary easing, the decline of the US dollar's credit, and geopolitical restructuring, and may continue its long - term bull market [3]. Strategy Recommendation - The market performance is strong, with short - term support at 840 for gold and around 10200 for silver. Long - term long positions can hold through holidays, and short - term long positions can hold with light positions. The long - term bullish logic for gold and silver remains unchanged [4]. Group 3: Copper Market Review - The price of Shanghai copper has pulled back from its high [6]. Industrial Logic - The supply of copper concentrates is tight. The accident at the Grasberg copper mine in Indonesia has intensified the shortage concern. Although China's copper ore imports increased in August, the imports of unforged copper decreased month - on - month, and the pressure on the smelting end has increased. In September, the output of electrolytic copper decreased due to smelter maintenance. Global visible inventory is at a high level, high copper prices suppress demand, and the market trading is dull [6]. Strategy Recommendation - With the approaching of the National Day holiday and the weakening of the Fed's October rate - cut expectation, it is recommended that short - term speculative long positions take profit, prepare for empty or light positions during holidays, and long - term strategic long positions hold with option protection. Industrial selling hedging should be actively arranged. In the long - term, copper is still favored [7]. Group 4: Zinc Market Review - Shanghai zinc has oscillated weakly and broken through the key support at 21800 [10]. Industrial Logic - The supply of zinc concentrates is loose in 2025. Although the imports in August decreased month - on - month, they increased year - on - year. In September, domestic smelter maintenance increased, and zinc ingot production is expected to decrease. The inventory of SHFE zinc has increased significantly, while the LME zinc inventory continues to decline. The demand from downstream enterprises is weak, and the weekly operating rate of galvanizing enterprises has decreased [10]. Strategy Recommendation - As the macro and sector sentiment has cooled down, zinc has returned to a weak reality. It is recommended to close short positions and prepare for empty or light positions during holidays. In the long - term, maintain the view of shorting on rebounds [11]. Group 5: Aluminum Market Review - The price of aluminum has faced pressure in its rebound, and alumina has shown a weak trend at a low level [13]. Industrial Logic - For electrolytic aluminum, overseas rate cuts met expectations. Domestic production increased slightly in August, and inventory decreased. The operating rate of downstream processing enterprises increased, and enterprises were actively stocking up before the long holiday. For alumina, the rainy season in Guinea may affect September arrivals, and the supply pressure has increased with the increase in operating capacity and the opening of the import window [14]. Strategy Recommendation - It is recommended to go long on Shanghai aluminum at low prices in the short - term, paying attention to the changes in the operating rate of downstream processing enterprises. The main operating range for Shanghai aluminum is [20500, 21300] [15]. Group 6: Nickel Market Review - The price of nickel has faced pressure and weakened, and stainless steel has shown a downward trend [17]. Industrial Logic - Overseas rate cuts met expectations. The impact of the political situation in Indonesia on nickel ore supply is limited. Domestically, the supply of refined nickel is in excess, while the supply of nickel sulfate is relatively tight. The domestic pure nickel inventory has continued to accumulate slightly. For stainless steel, the consumption peak season is uncertain, inventory has increased, and the supply has also increased [18]. Strategy Recommendation - It is recommended to wait and see for nickel and stainless steel, paying attention to the improvement of downstream consumption. The main operating range for nickel is [120000, 123000] [19]. Group 7: Lithium Carbonate Market Review - The main contract LC2511 has pulled back after reaching a high and closed slightly lower at the end of the session [21]. Industrial Logic - Supply has not significantly shrunk, with weekly production remaining above 20,000 tons and the operating rate close to 50%. Demand has received positive support from relevant policies, and downstream orders are scheduled until the end of the year. Total inventory has decreased for 7 consecutive weeks, and smelter inventory is significantly lower than last year [22]. Strategy Recommendation - Pay attention to the support of the 60 - day moving average in the range of [72900, 74100] [23].

Core Views of the Report - The report analyzes multiple energy and chemical products, considering factors such as geopolitical disturbances, supply - demand relationships, inventory levels, and cost changes. For some products, geopolitical events can cause short - term price fluctuations, while long - term trends are mainly determined by supply - demand fundamentals. For example, crude oil is affected by geopolitical events in the short term but faces long - term supply surplus pressure [1][6]. - Some products are influenced by the "Golden September and Silver October" consumption season. However, the actual demand may not meet expectations, affecting their price trends. For instance, PTA and MEG have weaker demand during this period [2][34][39]. - Inventory levels play a crucial role in determining product prices. For example, high inventory levels can suppress prices, while low inventory levels can provide some support [1][11][34]. 3. Summaries Based on Related Catalogs Crude Oil - **Market Performance**: Overnight international oil prices continued to rise, with WTI down 0.02%, Brent up 0.18%, and SC up 1.37% [5]. - **Basic Logic**: Geopolitical disturbances led to a short - term oil price rebound, and the unexpected decline in US crude oil inventories provided short - term support. However, there is a long - term supply surplus, and prices may drop to around $60 [6]. - **Fundamentals**: Supply may increase as Iraq's Kurdish region resumes oil exports.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating but provides individual ratings for each metal: Gold, Silver, Copper, Aluminum, and Polysilicon are rated ★★; Zinc, Lead, Tin, Nickel, Industrial Silicon, and Lithium Carbonate are rated ★ [1] Core Viewpoints - Gold and silver are supported by the US government shutdown risk and dovish statements from Fed officials, with a long - term bullish outlook [1][3] - Copper prices are driven by macro - micro resonance, and there is a long - term positive view on copper due to supply shortages and strategic importance [1][6][7] - Zinc shows a weak rebound in the short - term, with a long - term view of supply increase and demand decrease [1][9][10] - Aluminum prices are expected to rise as the peak season approaches, with short - term buying opportunities [1][13][14] - Nickel prices rebound but are restricted by demand, and it is recommended to wait and see [1][17][18] - Lithium carbonate is in a state of both supply and demand growth, showing short - term strength [1][21][22] Summary by Metal Gold and Silver - **Market Review**: Despite the decrease in rate - cut expectations, the increase in future uncertainty risks has led to a significant rise in gold and silver prices [2] - **Logic**: US economic data is unexpectedly good, reducing the probability of rate cuts. However, the US government shutdown risk and dovish statements from Fed officials support gold and silver. In the long run, gold benefits from global monetary easing, the decline of the US dollar's credit, and geopolitical restructuring [3] - **Strategy**: Gold has short - term support at 840, and silver has support around 10000. Long - term long positions in both can be continued [4] Copper - **Market Review**: Shanghai copper and London copper soared by over 3%, hitting a new high for the year [6] - **Logic**: Copper concentrate supply is tight due to a mine accident at Grasberg. The processing fee TC is deeply inverted, and domestic electrolytic copper production may decline in September. Both domestic and overseas inventories are decreasing [6] - **Strategy**: Short - term speculative long positions in copper can be held, with trailing stop - loss. Long - term strategic long positions should be held with option protection. For the long - term, copper is highly regarded [7] Zinc - **Market Review**: Shanghai zinc showed a weak rebound, returning to the 22,000 mark [9] - **Logic**: Zinc concentrate supply will be abundant in 2025.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Short - term bearish outlook**: For soybean meal, rapeseed meal, palm oil, soybean oil, cotton, jujube, and live pigs, the short - term trends are either bearish or require caution. For example, soybean meal has limited upside due to harvest and inventory, while cotton is pressured by supply and weak demand [1][8][11]. - **High - level oscillation**: Rapeseed oil is expected to maintain a high - level oscillation due to trade disputes and inventory cycles [1]. - **Weak - oscillation in the short - term**: Palm oil and soybean oil are likely to experience weak oscillations in the short - term because of policy uncertainties and inventory concerns [1]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Soybean Meal - **Price data**: The futures price of soybean meal (main contract, daily close) is 2967 yuan/ton, up 37 yuan or 1.26% from the previous day. The national average spot price is 3025.43 yuan/ton, up 37.43 yuan or 1.25% [2]. - **Inventory data**: As of September 19, 2025, national port soybean inventory is 898.3 million tons, down 70.30 million tons week - on - week; 125 oil mills' soybean inventory is 694.66 million tons, down 38.54 million tons (5.26%) week - on - week, and their soybean meal inventory is 125 million tons, up 8.56 million tons (7.35%) week - on - week [3]. - **Market analysis**: US soybean harvest has started, and the short - term domestic supply is sufficient. Due to Sino - US trade tariffs, the continuous downward space is limited. Attention should be paid to the US soybean quarterly inventory data at the end of September, US biodiesel policy, and Sino - US trade progress during the harvest season [1][3]. 3.2 Rapeseed Meal - **Price data**: The futures price of rapeseed meal (main contract, daily close) is 2444 yuan/ton, up 49 yuan or 2.05% from the previous day. The national average spot price is 2571.58 yuan/ton, up 37.9 yuan or 1.50% [4]. - **Inventory data**: As of September 19, coastal area major oil mills' rapeseed inventory is 4.6 million tons, down 2.8 million tons week - on - week; rapeseed meal inventory is 1.75 million tons, unchanged week - on - week [5]. - **Market analysis**: Trade policies and high inventory lead to a mixed situation of long and short factors. The extension of the anti - dumping investigation on Canadian rapeseed shows that Sino - Canadian trade negotiations will take time, but the impact of Sino - Australian rapeseed trade limits the upside. Its trend mainly follows that of soybean meal, and attention should be paid to Sino - Canadian trade progress [1][5]. 3.3 Palm Oil - **Price data**: The futures price of palm oil (main contract, daily close) is 9222 yuan/ton, up 96 yuan or 1.05% from the previous day. The national average price is 9250 yuan/ton, up 185 yuan or 2.04% [6]. - **Inventory data**: As of September 19, 2025, the national key area palm oil commercial inventory is 58.51 million tons, down 5.64 million tons (8.79%) week - on - week [7]. - **Market analysis**: Frequent changes in US biodiesel policy and expected inventory build - up in Malaysian palm oil in September may suppress its performance before the double festivals. It is expected to show a weak - oscillation trend in the short - term. Attention should be paid to Malaysian palm oil export in September and the performance of the US soybean oil market [1][7]. 3.4 Cotton - **Price data**: The futures price of cotton (CF2601, main contract) is 13530 yuan/ton, down 25 yuan or 0.18% from the previous value. The domestic spot price is 15107 yuan/ton, up 0.1% [8]. - **Supply - demand data**: US cotton harvest is progressing, and other northern hemisphere countries are also about to enter the harvest season, increasing supply pressure. Domestic new cotton harvest has started, and the demand performance during the "Golden September and Silver October" is not ideal, and the foreign trade outlook is weak [9][10][11]. - **Market analysis**: It is expected to maintain a pressured - oscillation market. It is recommended to short - allocate near - month contracts in the short - term [11]. 3.5 Jujube - **Price data**: The futures price of jujube (CJ2601, main contract) is 10970 yuan/ton, up 185 yuan or 1.72% from the previous value. The price of Hebei special - grade grey jujube has a slight increase [12]. - **Supply - demand data**: The estimated new - season jujube production is expected to decrease, but there may not be an obvious supply - demand gap considering the carry - over inventory. The demand in the sales area is weak [14]. - **Market analysis**: Concerns about quality are gradually easing, but there may be large price fluctuations before November. It is recommended to be cautious in trading and look for opportunities to short on price rebounds [15]. 3.6 Live Pigs - **Price data**: The futures price of live pigs (Lh2511, main contract) is 12685 yuan/ton, down 45 yuan or 0.35% from the previous value. The national average spot price is 12840 yuan/ton, down 0.08% [16]. - **Supply - demand data**: In the short - to - medium term, the supply pressure is high, and the demand is gradually improving. In the long - term, the number of fertile sows is decreasing [17]. - **Market analysis**: The spot price is under pressure. In the short - term, the 11 - contract should be short - allocated on rebounds, and the inter - month reverse - spread strategy should be maintained [18].
