1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The Fed has entered a new round of interest - rate cut cycles, and the dot - plot shows two more expected rate cuts this year, with the US dollar index having room to decline. The copper supply shock caused by the accident at Freeport McMoRan's Grasberg mine will exacerbate the tight global copper supply - demand structure. The demand for copper in industries such as power, data centers, and new energy vehicles remains strong. However, the approaching holiday has led to some funds leaving the market for risk - avoidance, and the spill - over effect on other non - ferrous metals from the copper price increase is not sustainable [3][9][10]. - The strength of the US dollar index suppresses the rebound height of the non - ferrous metal sector. Before the holiday, it is recommended to be cautious in trading and use options for protection. Different non - ferrous metal varieties have different supply - demand fundamentals and price trends, and corresponding trading strategies are proposed for each variety [5][10]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 First Part: Non - ferrous Metal Operation Logic and Investment Advice - **Macro Logic**: The Fed has cut interest rates by 25bp, and future rate - cut decisions will depend on economic data. The US - EU trade agreement has been implemented, and the eurozone's September PMI data shows a mixed situation. China's LPR remains unchanged, and the central bank's monetary policy is supportive and moderately loose. Before the holiday, market funds are leaving for risk - avoidance, and the support from pre - holiday stocking for non - ferrous metals is weakening [9]. - **Single - side Strategies for Each Variety** - **Copper**: The Grasberg mine accident will reduce copper production, and the global copper supply - demand will be more imbalanced. The Fed's rate - cut cycle is favorable for copper prices in the long - term. It is recommended to buy on dips, with the short - term upper pressure range at 83000 - 84000 yuan/ton and the lower support range at 80000 - 81000 yuan/ton [3]. - **Aluminum Industry Chain** - **Aluminum**: The strengthening of the US dollar suppresses the rebound. Before the holiday, it is recommended to watch more and trade less, with the upper pressure range at 21300 - 21700 and the lower support range at 20200 - 20500. One can buy out - of - the - money options for protection [5]. - **Alumina**: The spot price is falling, and the operating capacity is increasing. It is recommended to short on rebounds and hold short positions, with the upper pressure range at 3500 - 3700 and the lower support range at 2700 - 2900. One can buy out - of - the - money call options for protection [5]. - **Recycled Aluminum Alloy**: Due to the tight supply of scrap and policy uncertainties, it is recommended to reduce long positions, with the upper pressure range at 20800 - 21000 and the lower support range at 20000 - 20300. One can buy out - of - the - money put options for protection [5]. - **Tin**: The market is in a supply - demand weak pattern. It is recommended to close long positions and watch more before the holiday, with the upper pressure range at 260000 - 280000. One can buy out - of - the - money put options [6]. - **Zinc**: The Fed's rate - cut and economic data affect the US dollar index. The zinc price is affected by multiple factors such as supply - demand and macro - environment. The zinc price is oscillating weakly, with the upper pressure at 22300 - 22400 and the lower support at 21500 - 21600. It is recommended to trade based on volatility [6]. - **Lead**: The US dollar is rebounding, and there are news of lead - recycling enterprises' production suspension. The lead price is fluctuating. It is recommended to gradually take profits on long positions at high prices and use a wide - range option straddle strategy [6]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: The Fed's rate - cut and economic data affect the US dollar index. The nickel price is affected by supply - demand and macro - factors. The nickel price is oscillating, with the upper pressure at 125000 - 128000 yuan and the lower support at 118000 - 120000 yuan. The stainless - steel price is also oscillating, with the upper pressure at 13000 - 13200 and the lower support at 12700 - 12800.

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - **Industry**: Copper - **Current Context**: The copper market is facing significant supply disruptions, with year-to-date (YTD) disruptions reaching nearly 5% of total supply, and potential for further increases as the year progresses [1][3][12]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Supply Disruptions**: - Freeport's Grasberg mine production is expected to be disrupted longer than initially anticipated, contributing to a total of approximately 1.1 million tonnes of disruptions, or 4.7% of global supply [3][6]. - Other notable disruptions include Ivanhoe's Kamoa Kakula mine, which has reduced its 2025 guidance by 155 kt due to a seismic event, and Cochilco's estimate of an 80 kt cut in Chilean output [3][4]. - Codelco's El Teniente mine may also take longer to return to full production, increasing the estimated impact from 33 kt [3][4]. - **Future Market Challenges**: - A deficit market for 2026 is anticipated, exacerbated by Freeport's guidance cut of 270 kt, primarily affecting the refined copper market [4]. - Uncertainties regarding the restart of Cobre Panama and Ivanhoe's upcoming guidance for 2026/27 add to the market's tightness [4]. - **Demand Dynamics**: - There are signs of demand destruction, particularly in China, where price sensitivity is noted above $10,000 per tonne [1][12][13]. - US copper imports have decreased significantly from approximately 40 kt/week to 15 kt/week, potentially freeing up material for other markets [12][13]. - **Macro Environment**: - A supportive macro backdrop includes a weakening USD, a Federal Reserve more tolerant of inflation, and expectations of rate cuts, which could bolster copper prices [12][14]. - Despite these supportive factors, the risk of demand destruction remains, particularly if price sensitivity continues to rise in key markets like China [15]. Additional Important Insights - **Scrap Copper Usage**: Increased scrap usage has provided some offset to tight concentrate supply, although new regulations in China are complicating this [3]. - **Price Trends**: Copper prices have been rising, with COMEX copper outperforming LME due to macro investor inflows and low inventories [14][15]. - **Inventory Levels**: Outside the US, copper inventories are low, leaving limited buffer against further disruptions [15]. Conclusion - The copper market is currently characterized by significant supply disruptions and potential future deficits, with macroeconomic factors providing some support for prices. However, demand destruction, particularly in China, poses a risk that could impact future price movements and market stability [1][15].
