Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The tariff issue continues to disrupt the market, causing significant fluctuations in risk assets. The suspension of reciprocal tariffs by the US has led to a rapid increase in market risk appetite, but the escalation of China-US tariffs is beneficial for gold. - The US dollar index has weakened due to the suspension of reciprocal tariffs on most countries by Trump, and it is expected to remain volatile in the short term. - The stock index futures market has been boosted by China's tariff countermeasures against the US, but the subsequent macro - level changes will increase market volatility. - The commodity market is generally under pressure. The prices of palm oil, coal, iron ore, and some energy - chemical products are affected by various factors such as market sentiment, supply - demand relationships, and tariff policies. Summary by Directory 1. Financial News and Reviews 1.1 Macro Strategy (Gold) - Event: Trump approved a 90 - day suspension of reciprocal tariffs on over 75 countries, during which the reciprocal tariffs will be reduced to 10%. - Review: Gold prices soared by over 3%, once rising by over $100, setting a record for the largest single - day increase. The suspension of tariffs increased market risk appetite, but the escalation of China - US tariffs is beneficial for gold. Gold is a good tool to hedge against the decline in the US dollar's credit. - Investment advice: Adopt a bullish approach in the short - term volatile market [14]. 1.2 Macro Strategy (Foreign Exchange Futures - US Dollar Index) - Event: Summers warned that the US is far from out of danger and has lost a lot of credibility. The Fed meeting minutes showed that the US economy faces risks. Trump suspended reciprocal tariffs on most countries. - Review: The suspension of tariffs led to a significant rebound in market risk appetite, causing the US dollar index to weaken. The reciprocal tariffs are in a temporary adjustment phase, and the US dollar index is expected to remain volatile. - Investment advice: The US dollar is expected to be volatile in the short term [15][16][17]. 1.3 Macro Strategy (US Stock Index Futures) - Event: China increased tariffs on US imports from 34% to 84%. The Fed meeting minutes showed that inflation is slightly high and economic uncertainty has increased.

The upward trend of treasury bonds is likely to continue. - Investment advice: Hold positions and wait for the implementation of loose policies, or add positions on dips [27][28][29]. 2. Commodity News and Reviews 2.1 Agricultural Products (Soybean Oil/Rapeseed Oil/Palm Oil) - Event: Indonesian palm oil industry and farmer groups urged the government to reduce export tariffs to 0% to offset the impact of US tariffs. - Review: The global market sentiment is low, and the price of palm oil has fallen.

Adopt a wait - and - see approach and pay attention to positive arbitrage opportunities in Shanghai copper [61][62][64]. 2.13 Non - Ferrous Metals (Zinc) - Event: The LME zinc spread was at a discount, and the Shanghai - Guangdong price difference widened. - Review: The zinc price is mainly affected by macro factors.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Trump may announce tariff details on the evening of April 1st or April 2nd, and Morgan Stanley suggests focusing on whether the announcement can clarify tariff policies and whether the tariff increase is large enough to further deteriorate the economic outlook. "April 2nd" is not the "end of bad news" for US stocks [7]. - For US soybeans, the planting area is in line with expectations but the quarterly inventory is higher than expected. In the medium - short term, the supply pressure is high, the price is expected to fluctuate weakly, and in the long - term, there is strong support. Attention should be paid to the weather in the US main producing areas and Trump's tariff policies [8][9]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Metals - **Gold**: Reached a new high.

Group 1: Copper Market - Supply disturbances have led to fluctuations in copper prices, with prices reaching high levels before retreating. This week, copper prices in the US, London, and Shanghai saw changes of +0.08%, -0.45%, and -0.20% respectively [3] - Glencore has suspended operations at its Altonorte smelter, which has an annual copper production capacity of approximately 350,000 tons, causing Shanghai copper prices to briefly exceed 83,000 yuan/ton [3] - The operating rate of copper rod production has decreased to 64.06%, down 5.87 percentage points week-on-week, while social inventory of electrolytic copper has decreased to 334,500 tons, down 3.44% [3] - As the peak season approaches, demand for copper is expected to support prices, especially if smelters continue to reduce production [3] Group 2: Aluminum Market - The aluminum market is supported by inventory depletion and a rebound in downstream demand, with aluminum prices remaining high. This week, aluminum prices in Shanghai fell by 0.89% to 20,600 yuan/ton [4] - The operating rate of downstream aluminum processing leaders has increased by 0.6 percentage points to 63.4%, with notable performance in aluminum cables and profiles [4] - The supply of electrolytic aluminum is expected to face constraints this year, potentially leading to a shortage and upward price movement [4] Group 3: Lithium Market - The lithium market continues to experience an oversupply, with carbonate lithium prices dropping by 0.20% to 74,200 yuan/ton. Inventory levels have increased to 127,900 tons, up 1.2% week-on-week [5][6] - The production of carbonate lithium has decreased to 17,300 tons, down 3.5% from the previous week, indicating a weakening in supply growth [5][6] - Demand growth is currently insufficient to cover the excess supply, leading to a downward trend in lithium prices, which are expected to stabilize between 70,000 to 80,000 yuan/ton [6]

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Outperform the Market" (maintained) [1][72]. Core Views - Precious Metals - Gold: Gold prices continue to reach new highs, with the COMEX gold futures contract rising by 2.97% to $3118 per ounce as of March 28. The SPDR Gold ETF increased by 0.2% to 931.94 tons. Concerns about re-inflation in the U.S. are growing, with the core PCE in February at 2.79% year-on-year. The manufacturing PMI for February is at 50.3, indicating continued economic activity. The expectation is for gold prices to remain strong in the medium to long term due to persistent re-inflation expectations and weakening dollar credit [4]. - Industrial Metals: The demand season is starting, and there is a focus on the rising prices of metals driven by supply and demand dynamics [5]. Summary by Sections Precious Metals - Gold prices have reached new highs, with significant increases noted in both futures and ETF holdings. The market is experiencing inflation concerns, which are expected to support gold prices in the long term [4][13]. Industrial Metals - **Copper**: As of March 28, SHFE copper futures fell by 0.2% to 80,450 CNY/ton. Domestic copper social inventory decreased by 11,900 tons to 334,500 tons. The demand is expected to recover as downstream operations resume. Supply disruptions are anticipated due to the suspension of operations at Glencore's Altonorte copper smelter, which has an annual capacity of 350,000 tons. The expectation is for copper prices to gradually rise due to tightening supply and increasing demand [6][8]. - **Aluminum**: SHFE aluminum futures fell by 0.6% to 20,580 CNY/ton. Domestic aluminum social inventory is at 802,000 tons, with demand recovering as downstream operations resume. The upcoming bidding for power grid projects is expected to increase orders, particularly for aluminum cables. The expectation is for aluminum prices to rise in the second quarter due to strong demand [6][8]. - **Tin**: SHFE tin futures rose by 2.22% to 282,290 CNY/ton. Domestic tin social inventory increased by 934 tons to 11,482 tons. The supply of tin is expected to tighten due to production issues at the Bisie mine. The demand is anticipated to recover as the semiconductor sector improves, leading to a potential increase in tin prices [7][8]. Investment Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on the copper, aluminum, and tin sectors. For copper, the recommendation is to pay attention to Zijin Mining due to recovering domestic demand and tightening supply. For aluminum, Tianshan Co. is recommended as prices are expected to rise. For tin, attention is drawn to Xiyang Co. due to ongoing supply constraints and increasing demand from AI applications [8][70].
