新能源及有色金属日报：LME拟推限制近月大额持仓-20251031

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bullish [5] - Arbitrage: Neutral [5] 2. Core View - The smelters' strong demand for zinc ore may lead to a further decline in TC. Although the import loss of imported ore is still significant, the imported ore TC has started to fall. The domestic supply pressure remains, but if the TC continues to decline, the supply - side pressure is expected to ease. The export window is fully open, but the uncertainty of LME far - month contract delivery restrains export enthusiasm, and the overseas inventory is difficult to show a trend increase. Micro - data is turning from bearish to bullish, and the macro environment remains positive, but the sustainability of zinc consumption needs to be tested [4]. 3.
