Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports [1][2] Group 2: Core Views of the Reports - Overall, the downstream copper demand and acceptance are supportive, the scrap substitution effect is also effective, and there are no substantial negatives in the overseas macro - level. So, the copper price is viewed positively, and attention can be paid to the internal - external reverse arbitrage positions in the remaining time of the third quarter [1] - For aluminum, the short - term fundamentals are acceptable. In the low - inventory pattern, it can be held at low prices. Pay attention to the far - month inter - month and internal - external reverse arbitrage. In the long - term, the domestic supply elasticity decreases, and the overseas supply is the main variable, so pay attention to the actual demand [2] - Zinc prices fluctuated widely this week. In the short - term, it shows an external - strong and internal - weak situation. It is recommended to wait and see and focus on the sustainability of the commodity sentiment. Internal - external positive arbitrage can be continued to be held, and attention can be paid to the inter - month positive arbitrage opportunities [5] - For nickel, the short - term real - world fundamentals are average, and the macro - level is mainly about the game of anti - involution policies. Opportunities for the contraction of the nickel - stainless steel price ratio can continue to be concerned [8] - The fundamentals of stainless steel generally remain weak. In the short - term, the macro - level follows the anti - involution expectations, and attention should be paid to the later policy trends [12] - The lead price declined this week. It is expected that battery factories will replenish their stocks next week, and the lead price center will rise [13] - Tin prices fluctuated widely this week. In the short - term, there are both disturbances in domestic raw material supply and expectations of consumption decline, maintaining a situation of weak supply and demand. It is recommended to short lightly at high prices [14] - In the short - term, the supply and demand of industrial silicon have turned to a balanced state in August. In the medium - to - long - term, the industrial silicon capacity is still in a large surplus, and the price will mainly fluctuate at the cycle bottom [17] - For lithium carbonate, in the short - term, the price has a large upward elasticity. In the medium - to - long - term, if the resource - end disturbance risk is resolved smoothly, the lithium carbonate capacity surplus pattern remains unchanged, and the price will continue to fluctuate at the bottom [19] Group 3: Summaries by Metal Copper - Price and Market Performance: In the first half of the week, the copper price was supported around 78,000 yuan. In the second half, with the decline of the US dollar index and the increase of overseas interest - rate cut expectations, and the low scrap - refined spread, the copper price was strong on Friday night, trying to break through 79,000 yuan [1] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the spot premium increased by 136, the warehouse receipt decreased by 3496, the spot import profit decreased by 123.88, and the three - month import profit decreased by 291.50 [1] Aluminum - Supply and Demand: Supply increased slightly, and the demand in August is expected to be in the seasonal off - season. Overseas demand declined significantly, and inventory is expected to continue to accumulate slightly in August [2] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the Shanghai aluminum ingot price increased by 120 yuan, the domestic alumina price decreased by 1, the import alumina price decreased by 50, and the LME inventory increased by 1525 [1][2] Zinc - Supply and Demand: On the supply side, the domestic TC has difficulty rising, and the import TC is rising slowly. In August, the smelting increment is further realized. On the demand side, domestic demand is seasonally weak, and overseas demand has some production resistance due to processing fees [5] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the spot premium decreased by 10, the Shanghai zinc ingot price increased by 60 yuan, the LME C - 3M increased by 3, and the LME zinc inventory decreased by 1075 [5] Nickel - Supply and Demand: The supply of pure nickel remains at a high level, the demand is generally weak, and the inventory of nickel plates at home and abroad remains stable [8] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the price of 1.5% Philippine nickel ore remained unchanged, the spot import income increased by 268.35, and the LME inventory decreased by 648 [8] Stainless Steel - Supply and Demand: Some steel mills have passive production cuts, and demand is mainly for rigid needs, with some inventory replenishment due to the macro - atmosphere. Costs remain stable, and inventories in Xijiao and Foshan have decreased slightly [12] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the price of 304 cold - rolled coil increased by 50 yuan, the price of 201 cold - rolled coil increased by 50 yuan, and the price of 430 cold - rolled coil increased by 100 yuan [12] Lead - Supply and Demand: On the supply side, the scrap volume is weak year - on - year, and the recycled lead has low start - up. On the demand side, the battery inventory is high, and the market's peak - season expectations have fallen. There is expected to be inventory accumulation in July [13] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the spot premium remained unchanged, the spot import income decreased by 86.27, and the LME inventory decreased by 25 [13] Tin - Supply and Demand: On the supply side, the domestic smelting output may decline slightly in July - August. Overseas, there are signals of复产, but the specific quantity needs to be observed. On the demand side, the growth of terminal electronics and photovoltaics is expected to decline [14] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the spot import income increased by 1853.59, the LME C - 3M decreased by 13, and the LME inventory increased by 15 [14] Industrial Silicon - Supply and Demand: In the short - term, the supply and demand have turned to balance in August. In the medium - to - long - term, the capacity is in large surplus [17] - Data Changes: From August 7th to 13th, the 421 Yunnan basis increased by 240, the 421 Sichuan basis increased by 240, and the number of warehouse receipts increased by 43 [15][17] Lithium Carbonate - Supply and Demand: There are short - term resource - end compliance disturbances.
