Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The report analyzes the market conditions of various non - ferrous metals, including copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel, tin, lithium carbonate, industrial silicon, and polysilicon, and provides corresponding trend judgments and investment suggestions for each metal [2] Summary by Variety Copper - Market Condition: Last week, Shanghai copper traded around 100,000 yuan. The market highly focuses on geopolitical situations, and the guidance of economic indicators has cooled down [2] - Domestic Supply and Demand: The upstream TC of copper concentrate imports continues to decline. High copper prices suppress downstream procurement demand. The operating rate of refined copper rods has rebounded to 67.98%. The domestic social inventory decreased by 5,700 tons to 324,500 tons on Monday. The spot in Shanghai and Guangdong has a discount of over 200 yuan/ton [2] - Overseas Situation: Some listed mining companies have adjusted their 2026 copper production plans, with more leading enterprises slightly increasing their production targets. Indonesia's Grasberg expects to increase the production area's operating rate to 85% in the second half of the year [2] - Trend: Copper prices are likely to continue to fluctuate. Pay attention to the game at the short - term moving average position [2] Aluminum and Alumina - Alumina: The domestic operating capacity of alumina is 9.65 million tons, with a month - on - month increase of 300,000 tons. The alumina balance is in significant surplus. The short - term spot price of alumina is under pressure, and it needs to wait for large - scale production cuts to stabilize [2] - Supply: The domestic operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum has slowly increased to over 4.16 million tons, and new projects are in progress [2] - Demand: The operating rate of domestic aluminum downstream leading enterprises increased by 0.7% to 60.9% last week. However, it will decline as the Spring Festival approaches [2] - Inventory and Spot: The social inventory of aluminum ingots increased by 28,000 tons to 777,000 tons, and the social inventory of aluminum rods increased by 16,000 tons to 235,000 tons. The spot premium and discount have limited fluctuations [2] - Trend: Geopolitical events have led to the pursuit of important resources by funds. After the extreme rise of gold and silver prices, beware of profit - taking by funds. Pay attention to high - level short - allocation [2] Zinc - Trend: The fundamentals of supply and demand are weak, and zinc prices are oscillating at a high level. The Shanghai - London ratio fluctuates around 7.6, and the import of zinc ingot spot incurs a loss of about 2,200 yuan/ton [2] - Spot and Supply: LME zinc is in a contango market. The inventory levels of the inner and outer markets are basically the same, and it is difficult to further narrow the price difference. The domestic shortage of zinc ore has been alleviated, and the supply - side pressure is not large [2] - Consumption: As the Spring Festival approaches, consumption is expected to weaken. High zinc prices suppress terminal demand, and most enterprises are cautious about stockpiling [2] - Trend: Track the dynamics of smelters. Unless domestic smelters cut production more than expected, it is still difficult for the Shanghai - London ratio to rise further. The expectation of oversupply in the short - term remains unchanged [2] Lead - Market Condition: Terminal consumption is weak, and lead prices continue to operate weakly at a low level [2] - Spot and Supply: The LME lead inventory is 215,000 tons. The shortage of lead ore remains, and the cost support for lead is still strong. The domestic market is in an oversupply situation, and the social inventory has increased [2] - Consumption: Terminal consumption is weak, and the inventory of lead - acid battery enterprises is overstocked. The demand for pre - Spring Festival stockpiling is insufficient [2] - Trend: As the Spring Festival approaches, the fundamentals of lead are expected to be weak, and lead prices will oscillate at a low level under the dominance of oversupply [2] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Futures: Shanghai silver oscillated at a high level last week, and the trading volume decreased. The trading volume of Shanghai stainless steel increased [2] - Macro and Demand: There is support for silver futures due to the expected shortage of silver ore supply. The downstream is cautious in purchasing, and the actual transaction is weak [2] - Spot and Supply: The spot premiums of different types of nickel are different. The inventory of pure nickel decreased by 200 tons to 66,000 tons, and the inventory of stainless steel remained basically unchanged at 844,000 tons [2] - Trend: There is a fear of high prices in the market. It is recommended to be cautious [2] Tin - Market Condition: Tin prices followed the rise of silver last week, but then quickly gave back the gains. The risk of high - level adjustment is high [2] - Supply: The production of some mines has decreased, but the overall supply is not significantly affected. The domestic primary tin production is expected to be stable around the Spring Festival [2] - Consumption: The market pays attention to the production arrangement before the PV export tax - refund window period. The increase in tin consumption is limited. The visible inventory in the two markets continues to rise [2] - Trend: Tin prices follow silver prices, and the exchange has strengthened risk control [2] Lithium Carbonate - Futures: The lithium carbonate futures oscillated and rose last week, and the trading was active. The long - position structure is fragile [2] - Spot: The spot price of lithium carbonate is strong. African ore imports have increased significantly [2] - Macro and Demand: Downstream material factories are preparing for production in February, and the demand for spot has been supported to some extent [2] - Supply: The total market inventory has decreased. The inventory of traders has decreased, and there may be selling pressure on the spot [2] - Trend: The price of lithium carbonate oscillates at a high level, and the short - term uncertainty is extremely high. Pay attention to risk prevention and control [2] Industrial Silicon - Price: The industrial silicon futures oscillated and rose last week, and the spot price in Xinjiang remained stable [2] - Supply and Demand: The supply side is expected to cut production, and the demand side is weak. The operating rate of some silicon products has decreased [2] - Inventory: The inventory is high, and the digestion rhythm is restricted by the tightening of transportation capacity during the Spring Festival [2] - Trend: The fundamentals have improved marginally, but the downstream is still weak. It is expected to reduce inventory moderately in February, and the short - term spot price increase momentum is insufficient [2] Polysilicon - Price: The polysilicon futures were supported at the previous low, and the spot price decreased [2] - Supply and Demand: The supply side is reducing production, and the prices of silicon wafers, battery cells, and components are affected. The market has low - price selling [2] - Inventory: The polysilicon inventory has increased, and the inventory pressure is significant [2] - Trend: The futures are supported technically, but the spot price reduction is difficult to boost transactions. The inventory pressure continues to increase, and it is expected to maintain an oscillating operation [2]
