  1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Copper - Copper prices were volatile yesterday. High prices are suppressing demand, but terminal demand remains resilient. The supply shortage of copper ore supports the price bottom. It is expected that the domestic refined copper production in October may decline month - on - month. Attention should be paid to the marginal changes in demand and the Sino - US tariff negotiations. The main contract is expected to find support between 84,000 - 85,000 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum - The alumina market is weak, with supply pressure and weak demand. It is expected that the spot price of alumina will continue to be under pressure in the short term, with the main contract oscillating between 2,750 - 2,950 yuan/ton. Aluminum prices were slightly stronger yesterday. The supply is stable, and the demand shows resilience in the peak season. It is expected that Shanghai aluminum will maintain a high - level oscillation in the short term, with the main contract in the range of 20,700 - 21,300 yuan/ton [3]. Aluminum Alloy - Casting aluminum alloy prices were slightly stronger, with cost support. The supply is restricted by raw materials and policies, and the demand is moderately recovering. The inventory has started to decline slowly. It is expected that the ADC12 price will maintain a slightly stronger oscillation in the short term, with the main contract in the range of 20,200 - 20,800 yuan/ton [5]. Zinc - Due to concerns about a short squeeze in the LME zinc market, the Shanghai zinc price rebounded after hitting the bottom. The supply is abundant, but the increase in domestic zinc smelters in the second half of the year may be limited. The macro - economic environment with high probability of interest rate cuts supports the zinc price. The demand is not exceeding expectations. It is expected that Shanghai zinc will maintain an oscillation in the short term, with the main contract in the range of 21,800 - 22,800 yuan/ton [9]. Tin - The supply of tin ore is tight, and the supply side is strong. The demand is weak, and the new demand cannot make up for the decline in traditional consumption. The tin price continues to oscillate at a high level. Attention should be paid to the macro - economic changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter [11]. Nickel - The Shanghai nickel market had a narrow - range oscillation. The macro - economic risk has increased, and the ore end has some positive factors. The refined nickel production remains high, and the inventory is accumulating. It is expected that the market will oscillate in the short term, with the main contract in the range of 120,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton [13]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market had a narrow - range oscillation. The macro - economic environment has some positive factors, but the nickel - iron price is under pressure, and the demand in the peak season is not strongly boosted. It is expected that the market will oscillate weakly in the short term, with the main contract in the range of 12,400 - 12,800 yuan/ton [16]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate futures market was strong. The supply - demand gap remains after entering the peak season. The downstream demand is optimistic. The inventory is declining. It is expected that the market will run strongly in the short term, with the main contract in the range of 76,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton [18][20]. 3.
