Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The sentiment in the copper market has been boosted by the US government reopening and the easing of trade tensions. The supply of refined copper is expected to tighten marginally, providing strong support for copper prices. Short - term copper prices may continue to fluctuate with an upward bias [2][3]. - Overseas aluminum plant closures or production cuts have raised supply concerns. Against the backdrop of expected global trade tension easing and the Fed's interest - rate cut, supply - side disruptions and improved domestic export expectations may drive aluminum prices higher [5][6]. - The cost of cast aluminum alloy still has strong price support, while demand is relatively average. Short - term prices are expected to follow aluminum prices [9][10]. - Lead prices are expected to run stronger in the short term due to the tightening of the nearby supply and demand situation. The long - short positions of SHFE lead are relatively concentrated, and it is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term [12][13]. - The decline in zinc smelting production and some zinc ingot exports have tightened the spot market, pushing SHFE zinc to run stronger in the short term, but the upside space is relatively limited in the surplus cycle [14][15]. - The short - term supply and demand of tin are in a tight balance, and prices are expected to fluctuate at a high level. It is recommended to go long on dips [16][17]. - In the short term, refined nickel inventory pressure is still significant, and nickel - iron prices remain weak, dragging down nickel prices. In the long - term, global fiscal and monetary easing will support nickel prices. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term, and consider building long positions gradually under certain conditions [19][20]. - The high - growth demand for power and energy - storage batteries has led to a continuous shortage of lithium carbonate and accelerated inventory depletion. However, as the peak season enters the middle and late stages, attention should be paid to the high - level selling pressure [22][23]. - The price of alumina is approaching the cost line of most manufacturers, and the expectation of production cuts is increasing. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [26][27]. - The stainless - steel market continues to show a weak and volatile trend, affected by over - supply and weak demand. Prices are expected to remain weak in the short term [29][30]. 3.
