Group 1: Precious Metals - Gold - The geopolitical situation overseas has eased, leading to a short-term fluctuation in gold prices. As of June 27, the COMEX gold futures contract fell by 2.9% to $3,286.1 per ounce. The SPDR Gold ETF increased by 0.5% to 954.82 tons [2][3] - The U.S. core PCE price index rose by 2.7% year-on-year in May, the highest since February 2025, with expectations of a 2.6% increase. The previous value was revised from 2.5% to 2.6% [2][3] - Following the PCE data release, the probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut remained largely unchanged. The easing of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East has led to a temporary decline in risk aversion, contributing to a slight drop in gold prices this week. However, the long-term outlook for gold remains positive due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and a weakening dollar [2][3] Group 2: Industrial Metals - Copper - As of June 27, the LME copper futures contract rose by 2.3% to $9,879 per ton. Domestic copper social inventory reached 130,100 tons as of June 19, a decrease of 15,800 tons [3][4] - The LME copper inventory stood at 91,300 tons as of June 20, continuing to approach historical lows. The import copper concentrate index reported a negative $44.81 per ton on June 27. The annual negotiations between Antofagasta and Chinese smelters resulted in a mid-year TC long-term price dropping to $0 per ton, indicating a tight balance for copper concentrate in 2025-2026 [3][4] - The easing of geopolitical risks and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut have improved macroeconomic sentiment, benefiting copper prices. The combination of rigid supply, low inventory, and a weakening dollar is expected to accelerate the price elasticity of copper [3][4] Group 3: Industrial Metals - Aluminum - As of June 27, the LME aluminum futures contract increased by 1.3% to $2,595 per ton. Domestic aluminum social inventory reached 463,000 tons as of June 20, an increase of 14,000 tons [4] - The LME aluminum inventory was at 345,200 tons as of June 26, with global electrolytic aluminum inventory levels remaining low. Domestic electrolytic aluminum production capacity has been operating at high levels, with no immediate expectations for new projects to come online [4] - The rising aluminum water ratio may significantly impact the electrolytic aluminum spot market, as many northern aluminum plants have increased their aluminum water ratio, leading to a decrease in ingot production and a potential decline in aluminum ingot inventory. The mid-term outlook for aluminum prices is positive due to a tight supply-demand balance and low global inventory levels [4] Group 4: Investment Recommendations - The company suggests focusing on the gold, copper, and aluminum sectors. For gold, ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and the strengthening of gold's safe-haven attributes are highlighted, with a long-term positive outlook. Recommended stock: Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining [5] - For copper, the gradual recovery of domestic demand and the acceleration of industrialization in emerging markets are expected to open up long-term demand for refined copper. The tight supply of copper concentrate is also noted. Recommended stock: Zijin Mining [5] - In the aluminum sector, the weak supply and strong demand dynamics are anticipated to accelerate, leading to a potential rise in aluminum prices. Recommended stock: Tianshan Aluminum [5]
