Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the prices of various oils showed different trends. BMD Malaysian palm oil and domestic palm oil futures prices declined, while ICE canola futures prices rose. The price of domestic rapeseed oil futures also increased, and the price of domestic soybean oil futures slightly decreased [4][7]. - After the holiday, palm oil was weak due to the arrival of the production - increasing season in the producing areas, a significant increase in production, limited support from export demand, and expected increases in domestic and foreign inventories. Canola prices continued to strengthen due to increased crushing demand and low domestic inventories. Domestic rapeseed oil was relatively strong because of expected import tightening. US soybean oil prices declined as the US biodiesel policy was not authorized and the budget might be cut [4][7]. - Macro - economically, the China - US economic and trade negotiations reached an important consensus, and the US stock market continued a small - scale rebound. The US dollar index might stabilize at a low level, and crude oil prices might stop falling and enter a volatile phase. Fundamentally, in the production - increasing cycle, production increased significantly, export demand improvement was limited, and domestic inventories were expected to rise. Palm oil might operate in a weak and volatile manner [4][11].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The fundamental outlook for lithium carbonate remains bearish, with the potential for new lows in lithium prices. Although some smelters have cut or halted production due to the rapid decline in lithium prices, the marginal change in domestic supply is uncertain. Imported resources are expected to increase, and upstream production is expected to increase while costs decrease. There is no expected increase in demand, as the weak trend in terminal consumption is emerging, and the new replacement policy's ability to drive potential consumption is waning, which may suppress downstream purchasing power. The short - term decline in prices may be limited, and it is advisable to stay on the sidelines [3][13] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - From May 6 to May 9, 2025, the prices of imported lithium raw ore, imported and domestic lithium concentrates, battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate, and battery - grade lithium hydroxide all decreased.

The open interest of the main contract 2507 was 289,400 lots. As of May 9, the weekly production of lithium carbonate was 16,048 tons, a decrease of 128 tons from the previous period. Some hard - rock lithium extraction plants have cut or halted production, and the increase in production from the resumption of maintenance in May may be limited. Attention should be paid to the progress of salt - lake production [7] - In March, the import volume of lithium carbonate was about 18,100 tons, a month - on - month increase of 47% and a year - on - year decrease of 4.8%. The import volume from Chile was 12,700 tons, a month - on - month increase of 67.9% and a year - on - year decrease of 22%. The import volume from Argentina was 4,646 tons, a month - on - month increase of 5.9% and a year - on - year increase of 86.3%. The increase in lithium salt shipped from Chile in March may push up the domestic supply scale in May. In March, the import volume of lithium ore was about 534,500 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.8% [8][9] - In terms of downstream cathode materials, as of May 9, the production of lithium iron phosphate was about 63,442 tons, with an operating rate of 58.6% (a decrease of 1.14 percentage points from the previous period), and the inventory was 37,620 tons (a decrease of 535 tons from the previous period).

The prices of ternary materials declined slightly, while the prices of lithium iron phosphate decreased slightly. Although the cathode material production schedule in May continued to expand, the terminal consumption was weak, and the cathode materials still faced over - capacity pressure [9][10] - In the new energy vehicle market, from April 1 - 30, the retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles in the country were 922,000, a year - on - year increase of 37% and a month - on - month decrease of 7%. The retail penetration rate of the new energy market was 52.3%. The new energy consumption growth rate showed a pulsed pattern, and the potential consumption driven by policies was waning. The growth rate may decline significantly in the future [11] - As of May 9, the total lithium carbonate inventory was 91,762 tons, a decrease of about 2,807 tons from the previous period. The factory inventory increased by 21 tons, and the market inventory decreased by 2,828 tons. The social inventory decreased, but downstream purchasing did not pick up, and there was still strong wait - and - see sentiment. If prices stabilize, downstream may have a strong restocking expectation [12] This Week's Outlook - The fundamental outlook remains bearish, and the bearish sentiment persists. Although the short - term decline may be limited due to the strong resistance around 63,000 yuan, it is advisable to stay on the sidelines [13] Industry News - During the "May Day" holiday in 2025, the national consumer market was prosperous.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Last week, the main contract price of Shanghai zinc futures fluctuated weakly. The Fed maintained the interest rate but kept the possibility of a rate cut. The US and the UK reached a tariff agreement, and China and the US held talks. China introduced a package of financial policies, and exports in April showed strong resilience, improving market risk appetite [3][9]. - Fundamentally, mines are steadily ramping up production, and processing fees at home and abroad have increased month - on - month. However, as zinc prices have fallen, mines are less willing to offer concessions, and the increase in processing fees has slowed. In May, smelters are both reducing and resuming production, and the output of refined zinc is expected to remain flat month - on - month. The import window for zinc ingots has gradually opened since late April, and some imported goods have flowed in recently, keeping the supply pressure at a relatively high level [4][9]. - On the demand side, after the holiday, enterprises resumed work, and the operating rates of various primary sectors increased to varying degrees. High - voltage orders supported the tower orders, but galvanized pipe enterprises planned to cut production due to price competition. Electronic alloy orders were good, while traditional hardware accessory orders were poor, and some alloy terminal export orders decreased recently. Orders for rubber - grade and feed - grade zinc oxide decreased, while ceramic - grade orders were stable [4][9]. - Overall, the China - US trade negotiations and the release of domestic favorable policies have restored market sentiment, but there is still uncertainty in tariff negotiations. Fundamentally, there is an expectation of marginal weakening. The high output of refined zinc and the supplement of imported zinc ingots keep the supply pressure high. As the peak season is coming to an end, the enthusiasm for purchasing and restocking has weakened, and the support of the low - inventory logic has been weakened. It is expected that zinc prices will fluctuate weakly to find support [4][9] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Last week, the cost - inversion situation of alumina enterprises was still severe, production willingness decreased, and some enterprises cut production. There are still maintenance and production - cut plans in the future. The new northern production capacity has not shown an increase in supply, and there are negative news, leading to market观望 about its future production increase [3][8]. - The demand from electrolytic aluminum enterprises was mainly about capacity transfer last week, with theoretical demand remaining basically unchanged. The exchange warehouse receipt inventory decreased by 57,427 tons to 243,000 tons, and the factory warehouse decreased by 900 tons to 7,200 tons [3][8]. - Overall, some alumina enterprises are still in a theoretical loss state.

Classification 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report Classification 2: Core Views - Last week, the main contract price of Shanghai lead futures fluctuated and converged. The Fed kept interest rates unchanged as expected, China released a package of financial policies, and partial progress was made on Trump's tariffs, easing market sentiment [3][6][7]. - Fundamentally, due to tariffs, lead ore raw materials remained tight, and domestic and foreign processing fees were stable at low levels. Primary lead smelters had a mix of production cuts and restarts. Shandong Hengbang started a one - month production cut at the beginning of the month, and Guangxi Southern will resume production in mid - May. The discount of spot quotes widened, and smelters were not keen to sell. The supply - demand structural contradiction of waste batteries was prominent. Secondary lead smelters suffered losses of 600 - 800 yuan/ton, and more smelters cut or extended production cuts, resulting in a continuous decline in supply [3][6]. - In terms of demand, battery consumption remained in the off - season. Enterprises faced high inventory pressure, raw material inventories were not digested, and the motivation for restocking after the holiday was insufficient, with demand mainly for rigid needs [3][6][7]. - Overall, tariff concerns eased, and market risk appetite recovered. The fundamentals remained weak in both supply and demand. The structural contradiction in raw material supply would exist in the medium - to - long term. The scope of production cuts by secondary lead smelters expanded, and primary lead smelters also carried out maintenance, showing a trend of shrinking supply. However, consumption continued in the off - season, and the high basis between futures and spot prices strengthened the expectation of inventory increase driven by warehouse receipts, dragging down the lead price. The game between cost and consumption continued, and it was expected that the lead price would continue to fluctuate [3][7] Classification 3: Summary by Directory 1. Transaction Data | Contract | May 1 | May 9 | Change | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SHFE Lead | 16840 | 16805 | - 35 | yuan/ton | | LME Lead | 1957 | 1985.5 | 28.5 | dollars/ton | | Shanghai - London Ratio | 8.61 | 8.46 | - 0.14 | | | SHFE Inventory | 46786 | 49504 | 2718 | tons | | LME Inventory | 264225 | 253425 | - 10800 | tons | | Social Inventory | 4.53 | 4.75 | 0.22 | ten thousand tons | | Spot Premium | - 75 | - 90 | - 15 | yuan/ton | [4] 2. Market Review - After the May Day holiday, the main PB2506 contract price of Shanghai lead futures fluctuated and converged, closing at 16805 yuan/ton with a weekly decline of 0.21%. It fluctuated narrowly at night on Friday. LME lead fluctuated, showing a pattern of first falling and then rising, closing at 1985.5 dollars/ton with a weekly increase of 2.8% [5]. - In the spot market, as of May 9, the price of Honglu lead in the Shanghai market was 16750 - 16780 yuan/ton, with a premium of 0 - 20 yuan/ton over the SHFE 2506 contract. In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the price of Jiangtong and Jinde lead was reported at 16730 - 16780 yuan/ton, with a discount of 20 - 0 yuan/ton over the SHFE 2505 or 2506 contract. Shanghai lead remained in a consolidation state. Sellers sold goods according to the market, and the discount of some quotes widened. The ex - factory quotes of smelters' direct sales sources were at a discount of 125 - 0 yuan/ton to the SMM1 lead price. Secondary lead smelters reduced sales. Some secondary refined lead quotes were at a discount of 50 - 0 yuan/ton to the SMM1 lead average price. Downstream enterprises only made rigid - need purchases and bargained a lot. Some goods with expanded discounts were traded [5]. - In terms of inventory, as of May 9, the LME weekly inventory was 253425 tons, a weekly decrease of 10800 tons. The SHFE inventory was 49504 tons, an increase of 2718 tons from last week. As of May 8, the SMM five - region social inventory was 4.75 ten thousand tons, an increase of 0.22 ten thousand tons from April 30 and an increase of 0.16 ten thousand tons from May 6. After the holiday, downstream enterprises were more watchful, making rigid - need purchases and unable to quickly digest the lead ingot inventory accumulated during the holiday. At the same time, the basis between futures and spot prices widened to 120 - 220 yuan/ton, increasing the willingness of sellers to deliver to the warehouse. The inventory of deliverable brands transferred from factory warehouses to delivery warehouses, and the social inventory of lead ingots rose again, with the expectation of further increase [6] 3. Industry News - As of the week of May 9, the weekly processing fees for domestic and foreign zinc concentrates were reported at 650 yuan/metal ton and - 30 dollars/dry ton respectively, remaining unchanged from the previous week [8]. - A medium - sized lead smelter in North China is expected to conduct annual routine maintenance in early June for about 35 days, which is expected to affect lead production by 9500 tons and silver production by about 10 tons. A large secondary lead smelter in East China has been unstable in production due to losses. Its production dropped to about 100 tons/day before the May Day holiday and has now completely stopped production, with the resumption date to be determined. According to a large battery group's secondary lead smelter, the arrival of waste lead - acid batteries is poor, and tight raw material inventory may lead to a production cut in mid - May. A small secondary lead smelter in South China plans to start a shutdown for maintenance this weekend due to exhausted raw material inventory and serious losses, affecting production by about 70 tons/day [8]. - Foreign media reported that Teck Resources is considering diverting the products of its Red Dog zinc mine in Alaska from the Chinese market to other regions to avoid tariff risks caused by the China - US trade war. The mine's output accounts for about 5% of the global zinc supply and 2.5% of the lead supply. Currently, more than 20% of its zinc concentrates are sold to China [8] 4.
