Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market risk sentiment has continued to improve due to the progress in Sino-US trade negotiations and the overall easing trend of geopolitical conflicts. However, the substantial impact on the US economy from tariff negotiations requires continuous observation. In the short term, there may be some adjustment space for the premium of precious metals previously brought by safe-haven demand. [2][4] - The Sino-US trade talks have achieved substantial progress, but the copper market still faces challenges such as a decline in processing fees and weakening downstream demand. Copper prices are expected to remain at a high level. [6][9][10] - Alumina prices are expected to be volatile in the short term. Considering the expected oversupply situation, shorting after a price rebound is recommended. [16][18][19] - The Sino-US trade talks' progress may affect aluminum consumption. Although the aluminum inventory is expected to decline in the short term, the overall annual oversupply pressure remains. Aluminum prices are expected to fluctuate within a wide range. [21][23][24] - Zinc prices may face downward pressure due to the approaching end of the consumption peak season, the inflow of imported refined zinc, and the gradual accumulation of social inventory. [27][29][30] - Lead prices are expected to remain volatile under the background of the continuous expansion of secondary lead production cuts and the off-season of battery replacement. [33] - Nickel prices are expected to fluctuate within a wide range. The upward space is limited, and attention should be paid to changes in the macro situation. [36][39][40] - Stainless steel prices are expected to fluctuate in the short term, following the trends of nickel prices and the macro sentiment. [42][43] - Industrial silicon supply is expected to increase while demand decreases in May, leading to an oversupply situation. Shorting after a price rebound is recommended. [48][49] - Polysilicon prices are expected to rise in the short term due to the strong demand from some crystal pulling factories and the relatively small number of delivery products. A long position in the PS2506 contract and a positive spread strategy of going long on PS2506 and short on PS2507 are recommended. [52][53] - Lithium carbonate prices may rebound due to the easing of Sino-US tariffs, but the overall oversupply situation remains. Holding short positions is recommended. [58][59] - Tin prices are mainly affected by macro factors. In the short term, they are expected to adjust in a volatile manner, and attention should be paid to the supply situation of tin mines. [64][65] Summary by Related Catalogs Precious Metals Market Review - London gold initially declined below $3,280 and then rebounded, closing up 0.63% at $3,326.46 per ounce on Friday.

Trump announced that he will release important content and plans to sign an executive order to reduce drug prices by 30%-80%. [2] - Federal Reserve officials have different views on interest rate policies.

In July, the probability of maintaining the interest rate is 40.8%, the probability of a cumulative 25-basis-point cut is 50.7%, and the probability of a cumulative 50-basis-point cut is 8.7%. [2] - Geopolitical conflicts: There were sporadic conflicts between India and Pakistan, but the situation has eased.
