Colored Weekly Market Review - The closing prices of futures main contracts and spot prices of various non - ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, zinc, tin, nickel) declined last week. For example, the copper futures main contract CU2509 fell by 850 yuan, a week - on - week decline of 1.07%, and the spot price of copper in Shanghai Wumei dropped by 1210 yuan, a week - on - week decline of 1.52% [7] 02.

In August, alumina's support for costs emerged. The supply of bauxite is expected to decline while demand increases, and the inventory accumulation rate of bauxite in China is expected to slow down in August, with a turning point in inventory in August - September. In July, China's electrolytic aluminum production increased year - on - year and month - on - month, and the operating capacity increased slightly. As of August 4, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in major domestic consumption areas increased [9] - Viewpoint: High macro uncertainty, short - term price range adjustment, and attention to news and downstream off - season conditions [10] Zinc - Logic: Last week, zinc prices weakened. The Shanghai - London ratio rebounded slightly and fluctuated below 8.1, and the zinc ingot import window remained closed. In the spot market, the processing fees of zinc concentrates in many domestic regions were finalized at the beginning of the month, and the raw material inventory of smelters remained high. The import of zinc ore was at a loss, and smelters mainly purchased domestic zinc ore. The operating rate of die - cast zinc alloy decreased. The raw material inventory increased slightly, and the finished product inventory decreased. As of August 4, the domestic zinc ingot inventory increased [12] - Viewpoint: Short - term policy sentiment released, medium - to long - term supply increase putting pressure on prices, high - level adjustment of zinc prices [13] Tin - Logic: Myanmar's Wa State is actively resuming production, and the market expects an increase in tin ore output. The production and operating rates of refined tin in Yunnan and Guangxi have recovered to some extent, but the raw material supply and inventory are still low, and processing fees remain at a low level. Downstream performance has weakened compared to the first half of the year, showing a situation of weak supply and demand [15] - Viewpoint: Increasing downward pressure [15] 03.
