Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" and maintained [10] Core Insights - The report highlights that the gold price experienced significant fluctuations due to expectations of easing trade conflicts, alongside profit-taking from previous rapid increases. This led to adjustments in gold stocks. Short-term corrections are primarily driven by emotional recovery, with a focus on economic data from May and June following tariff conflicts. The narrative of recession is expected to persist [2][6] - Historical trading behavior suggests that central banks or insurance funds may accelerate gold purchases during rapid price corrections. The ongoing trend of de-dollarization is anticipated to stabilize gold price fluctuations [6] - Most gold stocks have seen a valuation recovery of nearly 20 times but remain at historically low levels. The easing of U.S. tariff expectations has contributed to a rebound in industrial metals [6][7] Summary by Sections Precious Metals - The report maintains a strategy of increasing allocations to gold stocks during corrections, as the valuation of gold stocks is at the lower end of historical cycles. Suggested stocks include Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining, Zhaojin Mining, Shandong Gold, and Shandong Gold International [6][7] Industrial Metals - Easing U.S. tariff expectations have led to a rebound in industrial metals, with LME copper rising by 1.9% and aluminum by 3%. SHFE copper and aluminum also saw increases of 1.7% [7][25] - The report notes a significant reduction in copper and aluminum inventories, with copper down 8.5% week-on-week and 4.84% year-on-year, while aluminum decreased by 3.81% week-on-week and 19.64% year-on-year. This is attributed to improved economic expectations and a shift in export trade [7][27] - The long-term outlook suggests that a weaker dollar will elevate the central price of resource commodities, with a focus on leading copper and aluminum stocks that are currently undervalued [7][8] Energy and Minor Metals - The report emphasizes that supply remains a key factor, particularly for rare earths and tungsten. China has implemented export controls on heavy rare earths, which is expected to catalyze supply-side improvements [8][26] - Tungsten supply is expected to remain rigid, with a controlled mining quota of 58,000 tons for 2025, reflecting a 6.5% decrease from the previous year. This is likely to support price increases [8][26] - The report also highlights potential upward price movements for cobalt and nickel due to supply constraints from Congo and Indonesia, respectively [8][26]

Investment Rating - The industry view is rated as Attractive, with a preference for gold, cement, building materials, and steel for 2Q25 [7]. Core Insights - Demand in the materials sector showed signs of recovery in 1Q25, but the outlook for 2Q25 is uncertain due to tariff concerns. Domestic excavator sales increased by 38% YoY, and orders from cathode producers rose by 20% due to strong demand from electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage [2]. - The report anticipates that metals-related stocks may outperform in 2H25 as further stimulus is expected [1][6]. - The tariff impact is projected to weigh heavily on the materials space, with a forecasted GDP growth reduction of 30 basis points to 4.2% for 2025 due to tariff shocks and domestic demand impacts [2][18]. Summary by Sections Gold - Gold is identified as the top pick within commodities, supported by ongoing central bank buying and rising ETF inflows. Lower Treasury yields are expected to enhance gold's macro backdrop. Preferred stocks include Zhaojin (1818.HK) and Zijin Mining (2899.HK, 601899.SS) [3]. Cement and Steel - Cement supply-side controls were announced in November 2024, leading to a focus on profitability rather than price wars. The report expects a significant increase in gross profit per ton due to lower coal prices and higher cement prices. For steel, a production cut of 30 million tons and an export cut of 15-20 million tons are anticipated in 2025. Preferred stocks include Anhui Conch (0914.HK, 600585.SS), CNBM (3323.HK), and Baosteel (600019.SS) [4]. Copper and Aluminum - In 2H25, copper and aluminum are expected to outperform due to continued demand from grid and EV-related green infrastructure. Additional fiscal stimulus could further support demand. Preferred stocks include Zijin (2899.HK, 601899.SS), CMOC (3993.HK, 603993.SS), and Hongqiao (1378.HK) [5]. Tariff Impact - The report highlights that the current cumulative US tariffs could have a more significant growth drag than in 2018-19, with expectations of trade talks to lower tariffs to 34% by year-end. The tariff shocks are expected to impact both trade channels and domestic demand [17][18].
