Group 1: Investment Ratings and Core Views Report Industry Investment Ratings - Not provided in the document. Report's Core Views - The impact of the Grasberg mine accident in Indonesia on copper supply and prices is long - term, and copper prices are likely to rise. Aluminum prices are expected to decline in the short - term but can be considered for long - positions at low prices. Zinc prices will maintain a weak oscillation. Lead prices will oscillate in the short - term and may face pressure after the holiday. Nickel and stainless steel prices are in a state of oversupply in the medium - to - long term, and short - positions can be held at high prices. Tin prices are expected to be supported and should be traded within a range. Industrial silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and other products need to pay attention to policy and market supply - demand changes. Carbonate lithium prices are expected to be supported in the short - term, but the impact of mining rights issues needs to be watched [2][4]. Group 2: Metal - Specific Summaries Copper - Price Movement: This week, copper prices soared and then fell back from high levels. The Grasberg mine accident led to a short - term increase in prices, but the impact is long - term. Short - term prices may continue to oscillate at high levels, with support at 80,500. - Supply and Demand: The accident at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia will reduce production by about 270,000 tons in 2026. Domestic refineries are in a high - maintenance period, and inventory has decreased slightly. - Market Factors: High copper prices have weakened domestic consumption, and the Fed's interest - rate cut rhythm is uncertain. Macro factors are strong overseas and weak domestically. - Investment Advice: Before the holiday, it is recommended to trade cautiously and closely monitor changes in domestic and foreign inventories [2]. Aluminum - Price Movement: Aluminum prices fell from high levels. Guinea's bauxite prices decreased, and alumina prices weakened. - Supply and Demand: Alumina production capacity increased, and electrolytic aluminum production capacity also increased slightly. Downstream demand entered the peak season, and inventory decreased significantly. - Investment Advice: It is recommended to go long at low prices, and for alumina, it is advisable to wait and see [2]. Zinc - Price Movement: Zinc prices oscillated weakly last week. - Supply and Demand: Zinc concentrate supply is abundant, and refinery profits are high, resulting in high refined zinc production. Terminal consumption in the peak season recovered limitedly, and downstream enterprises maintained just - in - time procurement. - Investment Advice: It is expected that zinc prices will maintain a weak oscillation, and it is recommended to trade with a short - bias within the range [2]. Lead - Price Movement: Lead prices oscillated after rising from low levels. - Supply and Demand: Supply decreased due to enterprise shutdowns and maintenance, and inventory decreased to a four - month low.

Nickel - Price Movement: Nickel prices rose and then fell last week. - Supply and Demand: Nickel ore supply may be abundant, refined nickel is in surplus, and nickel - iron price increases are limited. Stainless steel production is high, and inventory has increased. - Investment Advice: In the medium - to - long term, nickel supply is in surplus. It is recommended to hold short - positions at high prices, and stainless steel should be traded within a range [4]. Tin - Price Movement: Tin prices oscillated within an upward channel. - Supply and Demand: Tin ore supply is tight, and downstream consumption in the semiconductor and other industries is recovering. Inventory is at a medium level. - Investment Advice: It is recommended to trade within the range of 260,000 - 280,000 yuan/ton and pay attention to supply resumption and downstream demand [4]. Industrial Silicon - Price Movement: Industrial silicon prices oscillated widely. - Supply and Demand: Production increased slightly, and inventory increased. The production of polycrystalline silicon also increased slightly, and the photovoltaic industry's production schedule may decline in October. - Investment Advice: It is recommended to trade with a long - bias in the short - term or wait and see [4]. Carbonate Lithium - Price Movement: Carbonate lithium prices oscillated horizontally. - Supply and Demand: Domestic supply and demand are in a tight balance, and South American imports may supplement supply. Downstream demand in the energy - storage sector is good. - Investment Advice: It is recommended to wait and see or trade cautiously, and pay attention to the impact of mining rights issues in Yichun [4].
