Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Report Core Views - This week, copper prices fluctuated narrowly. Supported by the precious metals market, copper prices were strong in the first half of the week and adjusted on Friday. The downstream point - pricing volume rebounded significantly. The price around 85,000 may be the psychological price for downstream point - pricing [1]. - Overseas production suspension news and expectations boosted the domestic aluminum price, which was stronger than the overseas price. Short - term profit - taking led to a correction in the Shanghai aluminum futures. Aluminum ingots continued to accumulate inventory, while aluminum rods, sheets, and foils slightly reduced inventory. The downstream consumption was okay, and the acceptance of high prices increased. In the short term, it may show a fluctuating trend [1][2]. - This week, zinc prices fluctuated. The domestic and imported TC decreased further this week. The domestic zinc ore will be tighter from the fourth quarter to the first quarter of next year. The processing fee has dropped significantly. The demand is seasonally weak domestically, while overseas, the demand in Europe is average and the growth rate in the Middle East is high. The price center may be difficult to decline deeply. In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see for unilateral trading; pay attention to the reverse arbitrage opportunity and be cautious when increasing positions; for the month - spread, pay attention to the positive arbitrage opportunity of 01 - 03 [5]. - Nickel prices decreased this week. The supply of pure nickel decreased slightly month - on - month, the demand was weak overall, and the inventory continued to accumulate at home and abroad. There are continuous disturbances at the Indonesian ore end, and the policy side has the motivation to support prices. Pay attention to the short - selling opportunities [6]. - Stainless steel prices were weak.

The Indonesian policy side has the motivation to support prices. Pay attention to the short - selling opportunities [7]. - This week, lead prices fluctuated at a high level. The supply of primary and recycled lead was tight, and the supply - demand mismatch was serious. Now the resumption of recycled lead production has alleviated some of the contradictions, and the social inventory has increased. The demand is expected to weaken. It is expected that the lead price will fluctuate narrowly next week, and it is recommended to wait and see [9]. - This week, tin prices increased. The processing fee of tin ore remained at a low level, and the supply has been marginally repaired. The overseas output is still controversial. The demand is mainly rigid, and the overseas LME inventory has recovered. In the short term, it follows the macro - sentiment. In the long - term, the supply will increase, but the elasticity is limited. It is recommended to hold at a low price close to the cost or use it as a long - position allocation in non - ferrous metals [11]. - This week, the price of industrial silicon was stable. The production in the northwest region was basically stable, and the overall change was small. In the fourth quarter, the supply and demand of industrial silicon are expected to be in a balanced and slightly loose state. In the short term, the price is expected to fluctuate; in the long - term, the price is expected to fluctuate at the bottom of the cycle [15]. - Affected by the lithium - battery demand expectation and the market's bullish sentiment, the price of lithium carbonate was strong. The upstream inventory has been significantly reduced, and the downstream inventory is still relatively sufficient. The basis has slightly weakened. In the long - term, if the energy - storage demand remains high and the power demand is stable, the pattern of lithium carbonate may change in the next 1 - 2 years [17].
