Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the industry [7] Core Views - The overall industrial metal prices have experienced a decline, particularly in the overseas market, primarily due to liquidity issues in the US banking system. The government shutdown has led to a tightening of cash balances, impacting global risk assets. Concerns over power shortages in North America due to data center developments have raised fears of production halts in high-energy-consuming sectors like aluminum and zinc, resulting in relatively strong prices for these commodities. The lithium industry has seen a turnaround, with improving supply-demand fundamentals. The uncertainty in overseas resource development and weak profitability due to low lithium prices have peaked capital expenditures in the industry by 2024-2025, with a confirmed trend of declining supply growth from 2026 to 2028. By 2026, equity values are expected to outperform commodity prices, potentially leading the market out of a downturn [2][4][5].
