Report Industry Investment Ratings - Gold: Long - term holding [1] - Silver: Long - term holding [1] - Copper: Long - term holding [1] - Zinc: Rebound under pressure [1] - Lead: Under pressure [1] - Tin: High - level under pressure [1] - Aluminum: High - level under pressure [1] - Nickel: Weak [1] - Industrial silicon: Range - bound [1] - Polysilicon: High - level oscillation [1] - Lithium carbonate: Bullish [1] Core Views - The market is in a liquidity vacuum, magnifying bearish sentiment. Short - term, the US employment situation is the biggest concern, and the probability of interest rate cuts has decreased [1][3]. - Gold has few short - term major drivers, and long - term trading is recommended. In the long - run, the geopolitical order is being reshaped, and central banks continue to buy gold, maintaining its long - term strategic allocation value [1][4]. - Silver has followed the decline in the short - term due to a lack of market data. In the long - run, global policy stimulus will boost demand, and there is a continuous supply - demand gap [1]. - Copper is under short - term pressure and is testing the support at 85,000 yuan. In the medium - to - long - term, the shortage of copper concentrates and the explosion of green copper demand are bullish factors [1][7]. - Zinc is under pressure in the short - term due to weak demand in the off - season. In the medium - to - long - term, supply is increasing while demand is decreasing [1][11]. - Lead is in a situation of weak supply and demand. The production of some lead smelters in the north has recovered, while the production of large and medium - sized lead battery enterprises has decreased, leading to an increase in social inventory and short - term pressure on prices [1]. - Tin is under high - level pressure in the short - term due to slow resumption of overseas tin mines, tight concentrates in Yunnan, and weak downstream electronic consumption demand [1]. - Aluminum is under high - level pressure in the short - term due to the continuous surplus of upstream alumina, high operating rates of domestic electrolytic aluminum, and a slowdown in inventory reduction in mainstream consumption areas [1]. - Nickel is weak due to the continuous increase in overseas LME nickel inventory, high domestic nickel inventory, and weakening downstream stainless steel consumption [1][18]. - Industrial silicon is in a tight - balance range - bound state in November. Supply has increased by 1.67% month - on - month, and there are rumors of production cuts in downstream industries [1]. - Polysilicon is in high - level oscillation. Spot market performance is flat, and downstream profit losses may limit demand, but there are still expectations of capacity integration [1]. - Lithium carbonate prices have fallen from highs due to profit - taking and exchange window guidance. The total inventory has been decreasing for 13 consecutive weeks, and it is advisable to go long after stabilization [1][22]. Summary by Related Catalogs Gold and Silver - Market Review: Short - term trading lacks an anchor, bearish sentiment is magnified, and gold and silver are in range - bound adjustment [3]. - Basic Logic: US employment data shows an increase in initial and continued jobless claims, and there is a large - scale layoff warning. There is a liquidity vacuum due to changes in the Fed's attitude and domestic political situation. In the long - run, gold may benefit from global monetary easing, the decline of the US dollar's credit, and geopolitical restructuring [3][4]. - Strategy Recommendation: Short - term, pay attention to the support of domestic gold at 920 and silver around 11,500. Long - term value - allocated positions should be held, and short - term trading should be cautious [4]. Copper - Market Review: Shanghai copper is under pressure and adjusting [6]. - Industrial Logic: In October, China's electrolytic copper production decreased both month - on - month and more than expected. Consumption is in the off - season, and downstream enterprises'开工 rates are weak. The global copper concentrate supply is tight, and overseas copper inventory is increasing [6]. - Strategy Recommendation: Short - term, copper is under pressure and testing the support at 85,000 yuan. In the medium - to - long - term, it is still bullish. Short - term, pay attention to the ranges [84,500, 87,500] yuan/ton for Shanghai copper and [10,500, 11,000] US dollars/ton for London copper [7]. Zinc - Market Review: Shanghai zinc is oscillating weakly [10]. - Industrial Logic: Overseas zinc mine production has declined, and domestic zinc concentrate processing fees have continued to fall. Refined zinc enterprises are in a loss state. Consumption is in the off - season, and overseas LME zinc inventory has increased [10]. - Strategy Recommendation: Zinc is under pressure and running weakly due to a cold macro and sector sentiment and weak demand in the off - season. In the medium - to - long - term, maintain the view of selling on rallies. Pay attention to the ranges [22,000, 22,500] yuan/ton for Shanghai zinc and [2,950, 3,050] US dollars/ton for London zinc [11]. Aluminum - Market Review: Aluminum prices are under pressure, and alumina is in a low - level weak trend [13]. - Industrial Logic: For electrolytic aluminum, the Fed's year - end interest rate cut expectation has weakened. Overseas electrolytic aluminum plants have cut production, and domestic inventory has increased slightly. The demand side shows a structural differentiation. For alumina, the rainy season in Guinea has ended, and domestic bauxite production has resumed. The market is in a surplus state in the short - term [14]. - Strategy Recommendation: It is advisable to take profits on rallies for Shanghai aluminum in the short - term. Pay attention to the change direction of aluminum ingot social inventory. The main operating range is [21,100 - 21,800] yuan/ton [15]. Nickel - Market Review: Nickel prices continue to be weak, and stainless steel is under pressure at a low level [17]. - Industrial Logic: The Fed's year - end interest rate cut expectation has weakened. Indonesia plans to lower the nickel production target in 2026, and global refined nickel inventory has reached a five - year high. The terminal consumption of stainless steel has faded, and there is a risk of inventory accumulation [18]. - Strategy Recommendation: It is advisable to take profits gradually on dips for nickel and stainless steel. Pay attention to downstream consumption and stainless steel inventory changes. The main operating range for nickel is [114,000 - 116,000] yuan/ton [19]. Lithium Carbonate - Market Review: The main contract LC2601 rose and then fell, with the late - session gain narrowing to less than 1% [21]. - Industrial Logic: The fundamentals remain in a tight supply - demand situation, and the total inventory has been decreasing for 13 consecutive weeks with an expanding decline. Domestic production has reached a new high, but the shortage of raw materials limits the production increase. Terminal market demand is strong, and the market focuses on the demand side [22]. - Strategy Recommendation: Wait for opportunities to go long during callbacks or sideways consolidation in the range [91,000 - 94,000] yuan/ton [23].
