Core Views - Copper: Today, copper prices decreased with a reduction in positions, showing an accelerated downward trend in the afternoon. The domestic macro environment weakened, leading to declines in both commodities and the stock market. At the industrial level, as copper prices dropped significantly, the downstream replenishment willingness may increase. Technically, copper prices fell below the 10-day moving average, indicating strong downward momentum [6]. - Aluminum: Today, aluminum prices decreased with a reduction in positions, but rebounded significantly at the end of the session. The domestic macro environment weakened, causing declines in commodities and the stock market. The rebound at the end of the session recovered the afternoon losses, demonstrating its resistance to decline. At the industrial level, electrolytic aluminum showed a slight inventory build-up on Monday. Technically, attention should be paid to the support of the 5-day moving average [7]. - Nickel: Today, Shanghai nickel prices decreased with an increase in positions, and the main contract price fell below the 120,000 yuan mark. The domestic macro environment weakened, resulting in declines in commodities and the stock market.

Technically, attention should be paid to the long-short game at the 120,000 yuan mark [8]. Summary by Catalog 1.
