Industry Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is maintained at "Outperform the Market" [1] Core Viewpoints - The report indicates that the precious metals market has adjusted adequately, and it is now a good time to consider long positions. The recent U.S. CPI data has influenced gold prices, and the resilience of inflation supports the bullish outlook for gold as long as long-term U.S. Treasury yields remain above 4% [4] - For copper, trade pricing is expected to reverse, with significant inventory accumulation noted in COMEX copper. The report suggests that the price difference between New York and London copper is narrowing, which may indicate a loss of arbitrage profits [5] - Tungsten prices have continued to rise, increasing by 14.84% since early April due to reduced mining quotas and environmental inspections, leading to supply constraints [6] - The report suggests that rare earth export controls may be relaxed, and it recommends positioning for potential opportunities as the market remains cautious [6] Summary by Sections Industry Overview - The closing index for the industry is at 4695.15, with a weekly high of 5020.22 and a low of 3700.9 [1] Price Movements - Basic metals saw LME copper decrease by 1.92%, aluminum by 0.36%, and zinc by 1.27%.
