Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Aluminum is oscillating strongly with low inventory unchanged, and attention should be paid to the potential transmission of downstream negative feedback. The key contradiction lies in the total installation volume and production scheduling rhythm in the second half of the year. The confirmation of the demand inflection point still needs to wait for the confirmation of the inventory inflection point and changes in export shipping capacity. The downstream processing profit is at a low level in the same period over the years, and attention should be paid to the potential negative feedback and the resilience of downstream buying interest [3]. - Alumina has low inventory and low warehouse receipts, and the futures price is oscillating slightly higher. The resumption of production continues, but the dilemma of low inventory and few warehouse receipts remains unchanged. The valuation at the current price has become a key point affecting the long - short game. Attention should be paid to the accumulation of resumption of production to inventory and changes in port inventory [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The industry investment rating for lead is "Strong" in the medium - term, with a focus on the performance during the consumption peak season [3] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The losses of secondary lead smelters have been repaired. For primary lead, smelters in Yunnan and other regions have undergone maintenance, resulting in a reduction in supply this week. For secondary lead, the supply of waste batteries is limited due to the off - season of replacement consumption, and the price of waste batteries has increased with the rise of raw materials. Meanwhile, the secondary lead price has been more significantly boosted, and the losses of smelters have been significantly repaired this week, leading to an increase in the operating rate of secondary lead [5]. - Driven by the expectation of the consumption peak season and the impact of the mid - year node, the downstream replenishment has strengthened marginally. At the mid - year node, some battery enterprises have increased their inventory preparation stage by stage. Coupled with the continued expectation of the subsequent consumption peak season, the inventory replenishment space of enterprises has also marginally expanded. It is expected that there will still be room for demand expansion during the traditional consumption peak season in the third quarter [5]. - The supply - demand contradiction may be more prominent in the third quarter, and the price will be on a medium - term upward trend. Currently, the replacement consumption is still weak, which restricts the supply of waste batteries. However, from the demand side, the subsequent strengthening of consumption is expected to provide support. The supply - demand contradiction may gradually become prominent, and the price may fluctuate upward. Attention should be paid to the consumption performance during the peak season in the third quarter [5] 3.
