  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The overall situation of the non - ferrous metals market is complex, affected by factors such as trade policies, supply and demand fundamentals, and inventory changes. Each metal has its own unique price trends and influencing factors [1][3][4][5][6][8][10][12][14]. - For copper, although there is support from supply tightness, attention should be paid to the risk of economic slowdown in the medium - term. For aluminum, low inventory supports prices, but the market atmosphere is not optimistic. For lead, the cost support may weaken if scrap prices fall further. For zinc, there is a risk of price decline as inventory accumulates. For tin, the supply is expected to turn looser, and demand is dragging down prices. For nickel, macro uncertainty is high, and it is advisable to wait for a rebound to short. For lithium carbonate, prices may continue to decline without supply disruptions. For alumina, it is recommended to short at high prices. For stainless steel, the market may continue to decline weakly [1][3][4][5][6][8][10][12][14]. 3.
