1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, individual metal ratings include: Copper - "震荡" (Oscillation); Alumina - "震荡" (Oscillation); Aluminum - "短期仓单数量和累库仍需观察，预计价格区间震荡；中长期消费仍有隐忧，视库存和升贴水拐点区间思路偏逢高空" (Short - term: Observe warehouse receipts and inventory accumulation, expect price range - bound oscillation; Medium - to long - term: Consumption has concerns, consider shorting on rallies based on inventory and premium/discount inflection points); Aluminum Alloy - "震荡" (Oscillation); Zinc - "震荡偏弱" (Oscillation with a weak bias); Lead - "震荡" (Oscillation); Nickel - "震荡偏弱" (Oscillation with a weak bias); Stainless Steel - "震荡" (Oscillation); Tin - "震荡" (Oscillation) [1][5][6][9][10][13][14][16][17][20][21] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The US tariff game continues, and the expectation of domestic policy stimulus is increasing. Overall, the macro - expectation is volatile, and non - ferrous metals will continue to oscillate. In terms of supply and demand, the supply and demand of basic metals are gradually seasonally loosening, and domestic inventories are gradually rising seasonally. In the short - to medium - term, tariff uncertainty and weakening demand expectations suppress prices, while policy stimulus expectations and supply disruptions support prices. Focus on structural opportunities, cautiously consider short - term long positions in aluminum and tin on dips, and short zinc ingots on rallies. In the long - term, the demand prospects of basic metals are still uncertain, and shorting opportunities on rallies for some varieties with excess or expected excess supply and demand can be considered [1] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Copper - **Viewpoint**: The time for the US copper tariff to take effect may be advanced, and the price of Shanghai copper is under pressure. - **Logic**: Macroscopically, Trump's claim to impose a 50% tariff on imported copper has led to a significant increase in COMEX copper prices. The US Secretary of Commerce said the tariff may be implemented at the end of the month, weakening the siphon effect on copper in the US and alleviating the tight supply - demand situation in non - US regions, putting pressure on LME and Shanghai copper prices. In terms of supply and demand, copper ore processing fees continue to decline, and raw material supply is still tight. The demand is weakening as the consumption off - season approaches. Domestic and foreign inventories are accumulating again, and the risk of LME squeeze has eased. - **Outlook**: Copper supply constraints still exist, and inventories are at a low level, but demand is marginally weakening, and the US copper tariff is unfavorable to Shanghai copper prices. It is expected to show an oscillatory pattern [5][6] 3.2 Alumina - **Viewpoint**: Market rumors suggest that the mining permit issue has eased, and the alumina futures price has declined. - **Logic**: In the short - to medium - term, there is no shortage of ore, and operating capacity and inventories are gradually rising. The Guinean government's new policies may increase corporate costs and affect the bottom - line expectation of ore prices. - **Outlook**: Cautious reverse arbitrage [6] 3.3 Aluminum - **Viewpoint**: Inventory has significantly accumulated, and aluminum prices have declined under pressure. - **Logic**: The short - term tariff negotiation deadline is postponed, but there is still strong uncertainty. The fundamentals have shown marginal weakening signs, with inventory accumulation, spot discounts, and a decrease in the risk of near - month squeeze. - **Outlook**: Short - term: Observe warehouse receipts and inventory accumulation, expect price range - bound oscillation; Medium - to long - term: Consumption has concerns, consider shorting on rallies based on inventory and premium/discount inflection points [9] 3.4 Aluminum Alloy - **Viewpoint**: Demand has entered the off - season, and the futures price has corrected. - **Logic**: Short - term, ADC12 faces a game between strong cost support and weak demand. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, while demand is in the off - season. The price difference between ADC12 and A00 is expected to rise in the future. - **Outlook**: Short - term, ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 oscillate at low levels, following the trend of electrolytic aluminum. There is room for an increase in the future, and cross - variety arbitrage can be considered [10][12] 3.5 Zinc - **Viewpoint**: Supply and demand are in excess, and zinc prices oscillate weakly. - **Logic**: Macroscopically, the prices of black - series products are rebounding. The supply of zinc ore is loosening in the short - term, and smelters' profitability is good. Domestic consumption has entered the traditional off - season, and demand expectations are general. Zinc ingot inventories are accumulating, and the support for zinc prices is weakening. - **Outlook**: In July, zinc ingot production will continue to increase, and downstream demand will enter the off - season. Zinc prices are expected to oscillate weakly [13][14] 3.6 Lead - **Viewpoint**: Cost support is stable, and lead prices oscillate. - **Logic**: In the spot market, the discount has narrowed, and the price difference between primary and recycled lead is stable. On the supply side, the price of scrap batteries has decreased slightly, and the production of recycled lead is at a low level. On the demand side, the off - season has not completely passed, but the start - up rate of lead - acid battery factories is higher than the same period in previous years. - **Outlook**: The US tariff suspension period is postponed to August 1st, but the announced tariffs are high, and the macro - situation is still uncertain. As demand transitions from the off - season to the peak season, the start - up rate of battery factories is recovering. The supply of lead ingots may continue to increase slightly this week. The cost support of recycled lead is stable, and lead prices are expected to oscillate [14][15][16] 3.7 Nickel - **Viewpoint**: Philippine nickel enterprises are increasing nickel ore exports, and nickel prices will oscillate widely in the short - term. - **Logic**: Market sentiment still dominates the market, and the industrial fundamentals are marginally weakening. After the rainy season, the supply of raw materials may loosen. The production of intermediate products has recovered, and the price of nickel salts has slightly declined. The inventory has significantly accumulated, and the upward pressure is significant. - **Outlook**: Philippine nickel enterprises are increasing nickel ore exports to Indonesia. Nickel prices will oscillate widely in the short - term, and long - term trends need further observation [16][17][18] 3.8 Stainless Steel - **Viewpoint**: Nickel iron prices continue to weaken, and the stainless - steel futures price is running weakly. - **Logic**: Nickel iron and chrome iron prices are weakening. Although the futures price is rising, the improvement in spot trading volume is limited. In terms of supply and demand, stainless - steel production decreased in June but remained at a high level historically. As demand exits the peak season, there is a risk of weakening demand. Inventory has decreased, and the pressure of structural surplus has been alleviated. - **Outlook**: The weakening cost weakens the support for steel prices, but beware of the possibility of an expanded scale of production cuts due to long - term profit compression and policy expectations. The demand side is putting pressure on steel prices as it exits the traditional peak season. Focus on inventory changes and cost changes in the future. Stainless steel is expected to oscillate in the short - term [20] 3.9 Tin - **Viewpoint**: The supply - demand fundamentals are resilient, and tin prices oscillate. - **Logic**: The shortage of domestic tin ore is intensifying, and the replacement of Indonesian refined tin export licenses has brought new supply problems. The supply - demand fundamentals are tightening, strengthening the bottom support for tin prices. However, the impact of the short - term interruption of Indonesian exports may be limited, and the terminal demand for tin will weaken marginally in the second half of the year. - **Outlook**: The tightness of the ore end supports the tin price. Whether the tightness at the ore end can further accelerate the transmission to the ingot end will determine the height of the tin price in July. Tin prices are expected to oscillate [21]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term copper prices are likely to maintain a weak and volatile trend. Supply - side policy uncertainties are partially offset by increased production from large mines in Chile, but market sentiment remains cautious before the US tariff is implemented. Demand is dominated by the off - season, with only the new energy sector providing some support. The expansion of spot discounts and inventory accumulation suppress price flexibility. Additionally, macro - level trade policy uncertainties limit the upward momentum of copper prices [4] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Daily Market Summary - **Copper Futures Market Data Changes**: On July 11, the SHFE main copper contract rose slightly by 50 yuan to 78,470 yuan/ton. Spot discounts continued to widen, with the premiums of premium copper and flat - water copper dropping to 0 yuan/ton and - 50 yuan/ton respectively. The LME (0 - 3) discount was 0.95 dollars/ton, increasing the pressure on near - term spot. LME copper inventories surged by 1,578 tons to 23,307 tons, a recent high, and SHFE warehouse receipts increased by 625 tons to 108,725 tons, highlighting inventory pressure. Although the LME copper price rebounded slightly to 9,682 dollars, trading volume and open interest both contracted, indicating a decline in market activity [2] 2. Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes in the Industrial Chain - **Supply Side**: Supply from major mines in Chile and around the world shows significant differentiation. The US plan to impose a 50% tariff on imported copper increases the uncertainty of Chile's exports. Overall, the supply side is marginally looser, but policy risks are rising [3] - **Demand Side**: The off - season characteristics are significant, and structural differentiation is intensifying. The growth of copper consumption in the photovoltaic industry is expected to slow down after the over - demand in the first half of the year. However, the production and sales of new energy vehicles, which increased by over 40% year - on - year, still support copper prices. Downstream industries generally maintain just - in - time procurement [3] - **Inventory Side**: Global visible inventories continue to accumulate. LME inventories increased by 1,971 tons compared to July 7, and SHFE and COMEX inventories also rose, reflecting a loose supply - demand pattern in the off - season [3] 3. Market Summary - Short - term copper prices may maintain a weak and volatile trend. Policy uncertainties on the supply side are partially offset by increased production from large mines in Chile, but market sentiment is cautious before the US tariff is implemented. The off - season dominates demand, and only the new energy sector provides some support. The expansion of spot discounts and inventory accumulation suppress price flexibility. Additionally, macro - level trade policy uncertainties limit the upward momentum of copper prices [4] 4. Industrial Chain Price Monitoring - **Price Changes**: On July 11, 2025, the price of SMM 1 copper was 78,810 yuan/ton, up 110 yuan (0.14%) from the previous day. The SHFE price was 78,470 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan (0.06%). The LME price was 9,663 dollars/ton, down 19 dollars (- 0.20%) [6] - **Inventory Changes**: LME inventories increased by 1,578 tons (7.26%) to 23,307 tons, SHFE inventories increased by 625 tons (0.58%) to 108,725 tons, and COMEX inventories increased by 3,061 short tons (1.32%) to 234,204 short tons [6] 5. Industry Dynamics and Interpretations - On July 11, Antofagasta's CEO saw opportunities in US copper projects under the 50% tariff. Chile's mining minister said the government had no exact information on tariff implementation [7] - On July 11, data showed that Codelco's copper production in May increased by about 16.5% year - on - year to 13.01 tons, and BHP's Escondida mine production surged by about 24.4% to 13.2 tons, while Collahuasi's production decreased by 16.9% to 38,400 tons [7] - On July 11, it was reported that on July 9, Trump announced a 50% tariff on imported copper starting August 1, 2025. Chile, supplying about 70% of US copper imports in 2024, is at the center of this trade storm [8] - On July 11, Canadian copper producer Hudbay Minerals temporarily stopped Snow Lake's operations due to wildfires [8] - In Q2 2025, Kamoa - Kakula's Phase I, II, and III concentrators processed 362 tons of ore, producing 11.2 tons of copper, a 11% year - on - year increase. The western area of the Kakula mine restarted mining in early June, and by mid - June, the mining capacity had reached 30 tons per month [9] 6. Industrial Chain Data Charts - The report includes charts such as China PMI, US PMI, US employment situation, dollar index and LME copper price correlation, US interest rate and LME copper price correlation, TC processing fees, CFTC copper positions, LME copper net long positions, SHFE copper warehouse receipts, LME copper inventory changes, COMEX copper inventory changes, and SMM social inventories [10][12][16]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Trump announced a 50% import tariff on copper, effective August 1, 2025. The tariff is expected to cover copper base products and derivatives. The COMEX - LME copper price spread is likely to widen further, but the final spread ratio may be less than 50% due to the large - scale pre - import of copper by the US since March. Before August 1, copper will continue to flow into the US, and after August, US copper import demand is expected to decrease significantly, increasing the copper supply in non - US markets [3][38]. - Currently, the copper mine supply remains tight, but the long - term tightness is slightly weaker than expected. The scrap copper supply is tight, strongly supporting prices, but this support may weaken if China's imports increase after the US tariff takes effect. The short - term supply of refined copper remains high, while demand faces pressure as the downstream enters the off - season and new photovoltaic and wind power installations peak [3][38]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 US Plan to Impose a 50% Import Tariff on Copper - On February 26, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to initiate a 232 investigation on copper. On July 8, he publicly threatened to impose a 50% tariff on imported copper, and on July 10, he officially announced the 50% tariff on copper, effective August 1, 2025 [5]. 3.2 Analysis of the Impact of the US Copper Tariff - **Tariff Scope**: It is expected that copper base products and derivatives such as cables, electrical equipment, and home appliances may be subject to the tariff. However, due to the relatively small proportion of raw materials in home appliances (e.g., copper cost accounts for about 20% of air - conditioners), the impact on home appliances is smaller than that on copper base products [6]. - **Regional Price Spread**: Before the 50% tariff announcement, the COMEX - LME copper spread mostly fluctuated between 700 - 1500 dollars/ton, indicating a market - expected US copper tariff of 10 - 20%. After the 50% tariff news, the spread widened to about 2560 dollars/ton on July 9, equivalent to about 26.5% of the LME copper price. Although the spread has not fully reflected the 50% tariff, it is likely to widen further, but the final spread ratio may be less than 50% due to pre - imports [7]. - **Impact on Copper Flows**: Since the 232 investigation in late February, copper has flowed into the US, tightening the non - US supply. Before August 1, copper that can reach the US will continue to flow in, with a higher probability of copper from the Americas. After August, US copper import demand is expected to decrease, increasing the non - US copper supply [12][13]. 3.3 Current Situation of the Copper Market Fundamentals - **Copper Mines**: In May, Chile's copper production was at a multi - year high, and Peru's production in April decreased seasonally. The global copper mine supply growth rate is expected to be further adjusted downwards due to a production guidance cut by Ivanhoe Mines. The copper concentrate TC has been weakening, and the semi - annual long - term TC of 0 dollars/ton indicates long - term supply tightness, but less than expected [19]. - **Scrap Copper**: Since June, the domestic refined - scrap copper spread has widened, and the substitution advantage of scrap copper has increased. The supply of domestic scrap copper has been relatively tight since early July, strongly supporting copper prices. However, this support may weaken if China's imports increase after the US tariff takes effect [22][26]. - **Refined Copper**: In June, domestic refined copper production decreased slightly month - on - month but increased by over 10% year - on - year. It is expected to rise in July - August. Overseas production is expected to remain low in the short term. In June, domestic apparent consumption increased rapidly year - on - year. The downstream is in the off - season, and the demand for clean energy - related copper is expected to weaken [28].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, individual metal outlooks are as follows: - Copper: Expected to be in a "震荡" (sideways) pattern [6] - Alumina: Expected to be in a "震荡" (sideways) pattern [7] - Aluminum: Expected to be "震荡偏强" (sideways with a slight upward bias) in the short - term and cautious about long - term consumption [10] - Aluminum alloy: Expected to be in a "震荡" (sideways) pattern in the short - term and have upward potential in the medium - term [11] - Zinc: Expected to be "震荡偏弱" (sideways with a slight downward bias) [15] - Lead: Expected to be in a "震荡" (sideways) pattern [16] - Nickel: Expected to be "震荡偏弱" (sideways with a slight downward bias) in the medium - to - long - term, and strengthen in the short - term [21] - Stainless steel: Expected to be in a "震荡" (sideways) pattern in the short - term [24] - Tin: Expected to be in a "震荡" (sideways) pattern [25] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The macro - environment shows a game between US reciprocal tariff measures and domestic policy stimulus expectations, leading to repeated macro - expectations and continued volatility in the non - ferrous metals market. - From a supply - demand perspective, the supply - demand of base metals is seasonally loosening, with domestic inventory destocking slowing down and some varieties starting to accumulate inventory slightly. - In the short - to - medium - term, tariff uncertainties and weakening demand expectations suppress prices, while policy stimulus expectations and supply disruptions support prices. Attention should be paid to structural opportunities, and low - buying short - term long opportunities for aluminum and tin can be cautiously considered. - In the long - term, the demand prospects of base metals are still uncertain, and opportunities to sell short at high prices for some varieties with supply surpluses or expected surpluses can be considered [1]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1行情观点 3.1.1 Copper - **Viewpoint**: US tariffs on copper may be implemented, pressuring the price of Shanghai copper. - **Analysis**: Trump announced a 50% tariff on imported copper, and the US Commerce Secretary said the new tariff might be implemented at the end of July or on August 1st. The TC/RC negotiation result between Antofagasta and Chinese smelters in mid - 2025 was 0.0 dollars/dry ton and 0.0 cents/pound. In June, SMM China's electrolytic copper production decreased slightly month - on - month and increased year - on - year. As of July 10th, copper inventory increased. - **Logic**: Macro factors put pressure on LME and Shanghai copper prices. On the supply - demand side, copper ore processing fees are falling, raw material supply is tight, and overseas smelters are reducing production. Demand is weakening in the off - season, and inventory is accumulating. It is expected that copper prices will fluctuate [6]. 3.1.2 Alumina - **Viewpoint**: Arbitrage space has opened, but sentiment is stronger, and alumina prices continue to rise. - **Analysis**: Alumina spot prices in various regions have increased. Guinea has introduced reform measures for the mining industry, including creating the Guinea Bauxite Index and exercising sales and transportation rights. Alumina warehouse receipts remained unchanged on July 8th, and Xinjiang's alumina shipments will be affected in the short term. - **Logic**: In the short - to - medium - term, there is no shortage of ore, and production capacity and inventory are increasing, but warehouse receipts are still low. The anti - cut - throat competition sentiment drives prices up. In the long - term, Guinea's policies may affect ore prices [7]. 3.1.3 Aluminum - **Viewpoint**: The inventory accumulation rhythm is fluctuating, and aluminum prices are oscillating with a slight upward bias. - **Analysis**: On July 10th, the average price of SMM AOO aluminum increased, and inventory in the main consumption areas decreased.

Demand is in the off - season, and inventory is accumulating. In the medium - term, demand may recover seasonally [11]. 3.1.5 Zinc - **Viewpoint**: The rebound of ferrous metal prices boosts galvanizing demand, and zinc prices are strong in the short - term. - **Analysis**: On July 10th, the spot premiums of zinc in different regions varied. As of July 10th, SMM's seven - region zinc ingot inventory increased. The Xinjiang Huoshaoyun lead - zinc smelting project was put into production. - **Logic**: Macro factors boost galvanizing demand. The short - term supply of zinc ore is loosening, and smelters' profitability is good. However, demand is in the off - season, and inventory is accumulating. In the long - term, supply may exceed demand, and prices may fall [14]. 3.1.6 Lead - **Viewpoint**: Cost support is stable, and lead prices are oscillating. - **Analysis**: On July 10th, the price of waste electric vehicle batteries remained unchanged, and the price difference between primary and secondary lead remained stable. Lead ingot inventory increased, and the Shanghai lead futures warehouse receipts increased slightly. - **Logic**: On the spot side, the premium is stable.

Nickel iron and chrome iron prices are weakening. Stainless - steel production decreased in June, and social inventory decreased last week. - **Logic**: Cost support is weakening, and demand may weaken after the peak season. It is necessary to pay attention to the scale of production cuts by steel mills and inventory changes. It is expected that stainless - steel prices will fluctuate in the short - term [24]. 3.1.9 Tin - **Viewpoint**: The supply - demand fundamentals are resilient, and tin prices are oscillating. - **Analysis**: On July 10th, LME and Shanghai tin warehouse receipts decreased, and Shanghai tin positions decreased. The average price of 1 tin ingots remained unchanged. - **Logic**: The shortage of tin ore in China is intensifying, and Indonesia's refined tin exports are restricted, supporting prices. However, the impact may be limited, and terminal demand is weakening in the second half of the year. It is expected that tin prices will fluctuate [25]. 3.2行情监测 The report only lists the names of the monitored varieties (copper, alumina, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel, stainless steel, tin), but no specific monitoring content is provided.
