Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views - Copper: This week, copper prices slightly declined, finding support at the 85,000 yuan level. The current slow inventory build - up pattern may continue until the first quarter of next year, with fundamentals remaining moderately weak. The 85,000 yuan level may be a psychological price for downstream point - pricing [1]. - Aluminum: Iceland's long - term reduction in electrolytic aluminum production is finalized, and high overseas electricity prices increase the expectation of production cuts in other capacities. Aluminum prices have risen significantly, with the domestic market outperforming the overseas market. Future aluminum supply and demand may remain in a tight balance, but the actual performance may fall short of expectations [2]. - Zinc: This week, the zinc price center has risen. Supply - side TC is accelerating its decline. The demand is seasonally weak domestically, and overseas production faces some resistance. The export window has opened. In the short - term, it is advisable to wait and see, and pay attention to reverse arbitrage and positive arbitrage opportunities [5]. - Stainless Steel: The supply has slightly increased in October, demand is mainly for rigid needs, costs are stable, and inventory remains high. With Indonesia's policy support, pay attention to short - selling opportunities [9]. - Lead: This week, lead prices fluctuated at a high level. The supply - side situation has improved, and the demand is expected to weaken.

In the short - term, it is advisable to follow the macro - sentiment. In the long - term, consider holding at low prices near the cost line [16]. - Industrial Silicon: In Q4, the supply and demand of industrial silicon are in a slightly loose balance, and prices are expected to fluctuate. In the long - term, prices will likely fluctuate at the bottom of the cycle [17]. - Lithium Carbonate: Affected by the resumption of production in Jiangxi mines, lithium carbonate prices have fluctuated widely. Short - term supply and demand are strong, with a de - stocking trend. The upside potential depends on inventory reduction and speculative demand [17]. - Nickel: The supply of pure nickel has slightly decreased, demand is weak, and inventory is increasing. With policy support from Indonesia, pay attention to short - selling opportunities [21]. 3.
