Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The A - share market had a positive performance on June 11, 2025, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising 0.52% to 3402.32 points, the Shenzhen Component Index rising 0.83%, and the ChiNext Index rising 1.21%. The market turnover was 1.29 trillion yuan. However, short - term upward potential may be limited, and investors are advised to take profits when the market rises and shift from high - priced to low - priced stocks, focusing on previously oversold technology stocks [7][19]. - In the commodity market, different varieties showed different trends. For example, in the energy and chemical sector, urea was under pressure due to strong supply and weak demand; in the industrial metal sector, copper and aluminum prices rebounded but the upward momentum was questionable.

Morning Meeting Views on Major Varieties 2.1 Agricultural Products - Peanuts: The spot market is generally stable but weak. The futures market is expected to be weak and volatile in the short term, waiting for new drivers [11]. - Oils: The total trading volume of soybean oil and palm oil increased. The inventory of palm oil and soybean oil showed different trends. Due to the progress of China - US negotiations, the oil market lacks positive support, and it is recommended to short on rebounds [11]. - Sugar: The futures price continued to be weak, and the fundamentals showed a pattern of "weak overseas and stable domestic". It is recommended to hold existing short positions but beware of basis repair risks [11]. - Corn: The futures market showed a pattern of weak supply and demand. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term, focusing on the impact of wheat prices in North China on the substitution margin of corn [11]. - Hogs: The spot price increased, the supply was relatively stable, and the consumption improved. The futures contract rebounded weakly [13]. - Eggs: The spot price was stable but weak. The futures market had technical support at the bottom, but the medium - term capacity pressure continued to be released [13]. 2.2 Energy and Chemicals - Urea: The market price continued to be weak, with high supply and weak demand. The inventory of urea enterprises continued to accumulate significantly. It is expected that the futures price will continue to be under pressure in the short term [13]. - Caustic Soda: The spot price was under pressure due to factors such as reduced maintenance scale and new production capacity. The 2509 contract is considered from a short - side perspective [13]. - Coking Coal and Coke: The coking coal market oscillated, and there was a possibility of a fourth round of price cuts for coke next week. The double - coking market oscillated under short - term macro - sentiment support [13][15]. 2.3 Industrial Metals - Copper and Aluminum: The spot prices of copper and aluminum increased, and the inventory of copper increased slightly while that of aluminum decreased. The prices rebounded, but the upward momentum was questionable, and it is recommended to short on rebounds [17]. - Alumina: The supply recovered while the demand remained stable, the inventory increased, the spot trading became lighter, and the 2509 contract may continue to be under pressure [17]. - Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil: The night - session prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil decreased, and the spot market improved. The steel prices were supported by the positive news from the China - US talks, but the demand may weaken in the off - season. The steel prices are expected to fluctuate, with resistance levels for rebar at 3000 - 3050 and for hot - rolled coil at 3150 [17]. - Ferroalloys: The prices of ferrosilicon and ferromanganese were weak. The ferrosilicon market had short - term rebounds, but the supply pressure remained. The ferromanganese market lacked driving forces, and the medium - term view was bearish [17][19]. - Lithium Carbonate: The futures price rebounded, and the spot market also improved. The fundamentals showed a pattern of weak supply and demand. It is recommended to short at high prices in the range of 61000 - 62500 yuan, beingware of the risk of short - covering if the 63000 - yuan pressure level is broken [19]. 2.4 Options and Finance - Stock Index: Although the recent tariff friction has eased, the short - term upward potential of the stock index may be limited. It is recommended to take profits when the market rises, shift from high - priced to low - priced stocks, and pay attention to previously oversold technology stocks. Avoid chasing high prices and beware of risks in crowded sectors [19][21]. - Options: Trend investors should focus on defense, and volatility investors can buy wide - straddle strategies to bet on increased volatility after the volatility decreases [21].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Zinc: Bearish; Lead: Sideways [6] 2. Core Views of the Report - In Q1 2025, overseas zinc concentrate production increased year - on - year, while lead concentrate production decreased. The zinc smelting industry is expected to see increased supply in Q2, but the lead market has uncertainties due to production disruptions. In June, lead and zinc prices will be demand - driven. For zinc, short - term oversupply is expected, and for lead, the market is in a bearish pattern [2][3][4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Event Overview - Recently, overseas leading mining companies announced their Q1 2025 production. Some adjusted their 2025 production guidance. The report statistics cover 30 overseas leading mining companies, with the sample proportion of zinc concentrate rising from 60% to about 65% and that of lead concentrate from 40% to 49% [11]. 3.2 Zinc Concentrate and Lead Concentrate Production - **Zinc Concentrate**: In Q1 2025, overseas sample zinc concentrate production was 1.312 million metric tons, a 6.4% year - on - year increase and a 4% quarter - on - quarter decrease. The increase was due to large - scale project restarts, new project ramp - ups, higher grades and recoveries, a low base in the previous year, and fewer disruptions. The decrease was due to seasonal factors and end - of - year production rushes [12]. - **Lead Concentrate**: In Q1 2025, overseas sample lead concentrate production was 300,000 metric tons, a 4.4% year - on - year decrease and a 9.2% quarter - on - quarter decrease. The decline was mainly due to lower ore grades, external disruptions, and reduced operational efficiency [13]. 3.3 Production Changes and Factors of Individual Mining Companies - **Zinc Concentrate**: The top five companies with year - on - year production increases were Ivanhoe, Vedanta, Boliden, Group Mexico, and Sibanye - Stillwater. The top five with decreases were Teck, NEXA, Peñoles, MMG, and South32. The increase was mainly due to large - scale project restarts, new project ramp - ups, higher grades and recoveries, etc. The decrease was due to lower grades, external disruptions, and reduced operational efficiency [27][29]. - **Lead Concentrate**: Companies including Volcan, Glencore, Vedanta, Pan American Silver, and Silvercrop contributed to the year - on - year increase, while South32, Newmont, Aurelia Metals, NEXA, and MMG contributed to the decrease [27]. 3.4 Zinc Mine Costs - The 90% cash cost quantile of zinc mines in 2025 is $1,993/ton, a 9.3% year - on - year decrease. Although the LME zinc price has declined, the mining end still has sufficient profits. Different companies' cost changes vary due to factors such as mining costs, processing fees, and by - product contributions [47]. 3.5 Production Guidance - Among 13 leading mining companies, only South32 slightly lowered its annual production guidance in Q1. The total 2025 production is expected to be between 2.839 and 3.1 million metric tons, a 4.7% year - on - year increase. Some projects are expected to increase production, while others may continue to face production declines [48][50]. 3.6 TC Views and Investment Recommendations - **Zinc Concentrate TC**: There may be a slight upward space in Q2 2025, but in the second half of the year, upward movement may be restricted or even decline slightly due to factors such as domestic seasonal production increases, bearish zinc price expectations, and potential overseas production shortfalls. - **Lead Concentrate TC**: Overseas production is expected to increase slightly in Q2 2025, but domestic imports may be limited, and there is a downward expectation for the medium - term TC. - **Investment Strategy**: For zinc, in June, it is recommended to short on rallies on a medium - term basis and maintain a long - short arbitrage strategy between domestic and overseas markets. For lead, it is recommended to look for medium - term long opportunities after demand reaches a low point [52][53].
