Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views - For lead, the market shows a situation of weak supply and demand with no obvious contradictions in the fundamentals. The tight raw materials and weak demand are in a game. With the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut in September and positive domestic sentiment, lead prices may run strongly within a range [1]. - For zinc, the fundamentals of Shanghai zinc remain weak. However, the low LME zinc inventory overseas, continuous back structure of LME 0 - 3, and high capital concentration lead to an upward - oscillating trend of London zinc, which boosts Shanghai zinc. Affected by the interest rate cut expectation, Shanghai zinc may be strongly sorted in the short term, but the upside space is expected to be limited due to the fundamental suppression [1].
