Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned Group 2: Core Views - Today, copper prices showed a trend of increasing positions and declining. The macro - level atmosphere cooled, the equity market declined from a high level, and commodities generally weakened. In the industrial sector, market trading sentiment further weakened near the end of the month. With the weakening of the domestic macro - atmosphere and the rebound of the overseas US dollar index, copper prices are under pressure. Attention should be paid to the support at the 79,000 mark of Shanghai copper [4]. - Last night, Shanghai aluminum significantly increased positions and rose. During the day, the main contract price fluctuated narrowly above 20,800. Although the domestic commodity atmosphere cooled today, aluminum prices showed strength. In the industrial sector, as reported by SMM, with aluminum prices remaining at a high level, the downstream's purchasing fear of high prices is increasing. Technically, aluminum prices face technical pressure at the previous high [5]. - Last night, nickel prices stabilized and rebounded. During the day, they rose first and then fell. The main contract price generally fluctuated above 122,000. The cooling domestic atmosphere has little impact on nickel. In the industrial sector, the trading of nickel ore is fair, and ore prices remain stable. The continuous increase in domestic nickel ore port inventories and refined nickel inventories suppresses nickel prices. Technically, attention should be paid to the technical pressure at the 122,000 mark [6].
