Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report Copper - Short - term drivers are weak, and the main contract of Shanghai copper fluctuated in a narrow range. Macroscopically, if the subsequent inflation and employment data strengthen the interest - rate cut expectation, copper prices are expected to benefit. Fundamentally, it remains in a state of "weak reality + stable expectation". In the long - term, the supply - demand contradiction provides bottom support, and the center of copper prices will gradually rise. The short - term is at least in a shock state, with the main reference range of 79,000 - 81,000 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum - Alumina futures prices fluctuated widely at the bottom. The market is in a fundamental pattern of "high supply, high inventory, and weak demand", and this pattern is difficult to reverse fundamentally in the short term. It is expected that the short - term main contract will oscillate in the range of 2,850 - 3,150 yuan/ton. For electrolytic aluminum, it is expected that the aluminum price will remain oscillating in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 20,600 - 21,000 yuan/ton [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy futures price fluctuated with the aluminum price. The overall supply shortage pattern has not changed fundamentally. It is expected that the short - term spot price will remain firm, the inventory accumulation rate will slow down, and the price difference between aluminum alloy and aluminum is expected to further converge. The short - term main contract reference operating range is 20,200 - 20,600 yuan/ton [5]. Zinc - Since September, Shanghai zinc has been relatively weak in the non - ferrous metal sector due to the expectation of loose supply. In the short term, the price may be driven by the macro - environment to rise, but the upside space is difficult to open under the expectation of loose supply. It is expected to mainly oscillate, with the main reference range of 21,500 - 22,500 yuan/ton [7]. Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the demand is weak. Tin prices continue to oscillate at a high level, with the operating range of 265,000 - 285,000 yuan/ton. Follow - up attention should be paid to the import situation of Burmese tin ore [11]. Nickel - The Shanghai nickel market was weak. Macroscopically, there was no more - than - expected positive news after the Fed's interest - rate cut. There is no obvious supply - demand contradiction in the short term, but the inventory reduction rhythm has slowed down. It is expected that the market will oscillate within a range, with the main reference range of 119,000 - 124,000 yuan/ton [13]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market oscillated in a narrow range. The downstream started to replenish goods moderately before the festival, but the market transaction was mainly based on rigid demand. The supply side has certain pressure, and the peak - season demand has not significantly increased. It is expected that the short - term market will adjust through oscillation, with the main operating range of 12,800 - 13,200 yuan/ton [15]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate market mainly oscillated. The fundamentals remained in a tight balance. The supply was supplemented by the increase in imports, and the demand was steadily optimistic. It is expected that the short - term market will oscillate and organize, with the main price center of reference in the range of 70,000 - 75,000 yuan/ton [17].
