1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Views of the Report - Copper: Overnight, both domestic and international copper prices fluctuated weakly, and the domestic refined copper spot import window closed. Despite the improvement in the labor market, the Fed still needs to cut interest rates by 100 basis points in 2026. Concerns about AI led to a decline in the Nasdaq, affecting market sentiment. LME, Comex, and SHFE copper inventories all increased. There is a risk of a second correction due to the retreat of macro - sentiment and inventory accumulation. However, the core driving factors for copper price increase, such as supply gap due to insufficient global copper mine capital expenditure and demand growth in new energy and AI computing infrastructure, remain unchanged. A significant correction could be a good opportunity to set up long - term long positions [1]. - Aluminum: Overnight, alumina,沪铝, and aluminum alloy all fluctuated weakly. The SMM alumina price stopped falling and rebounded. The overseas alumina price increase and domestic raw material winter storage led to an upward movement in the alumina futures. However, social inventory backlog and expiring warehouse receipt cancellation pressure suppressed the upward trend. After the holiday, there may be a short - term price increase in Shanghai aluminum, but the overall space is limited. The subsequent price increase position of aluminum will be determined by the inventory accumulation of aluminum ingots [1][2]. - Nickel: Overnight, LME nickel and Shanghai nickel both declined. LME nickel inventory increased, and SHFE nickel warehouse receipts decreased. The approved nickel ore production quota in Indonesia has shrunk significantly compared to the previous year. An Indonesian nickel - iron factory's output is expected to decline. The nickel ore premium has strengthened again, and there are concerns about resource supply shortages. Although the short - term demand has weakened, the cost support is strong. There are opportunities to go long lightly near the cost line, and a significant reduction in visible inventory may further boost prices [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Research Views - Copper: The macro environment is complex, with factors such as Fed interest - rate cut expectations and AI concerns. The increase in inventory poses a short - term risk, but the long - term upward logic remains. A significant price correction could be a long - term investment opportunity [1]. - Aluminum: Futures prices fluctuated weakly. Overseas price increases and domestic winter storage supported the alumina futures, but inventory pressure limited the upward space. The post - holiday price trend of aluminum is related to inventory accumulation [1][2]. - Nickel: Prices declined, and inventory changes were mixed. Indonesian production quota cuts and supply - side issues led to cost support. There are long - entry opportunities near the cost line [3]. 3.2 Daily Data Monitoring - Copper: On February 26, 2026, the price of flat - water copper decreased by 245 yuan/ton compared to the previous day.
