Core Views - The overall trend of non - ferrous metals is strong but slightly differentiated. In a relatively loose monetary environment, driven by factors such as AI technology development, increased attention to the key mineral supply chain, and enhanced supply uncertainties of strategic resources due to rising nationalism in resource - rich countries and geopolitical disturbances, the sector remains strong, though there are fluctuations in market sentiment. The lower - than - expected US CPI data boosts the expectation of a rate cut in April, and the market continues to show relatively warm fluctuations [12]. - China's foreign trade is accelerating its recovery.

The sector remains strong under the influence of a loose monetary environment, AI development, and geopolitical factors. The lower - than - expected US CPI boosts the April rate - cut expectation. China's foreign trade recovers, and the new energy vehicle and automobile export markets are promising. Overseas, the US employment and inflation data affect market rate - cut expectations [12]. - **Investment Recommendations for Each Metal** - **Copper**: Try to gradually buy on dips. The short - term upper pressure range is around 108,000 - 110,000 yuan/ton, and the lower support range is around 98,000 - 99,000 yuan/ton. Consider buying out - of - the - money long - term call options [4]. - **Zinc**: Follow the overall sector trend.

The overall strategy for Hong Kong stocks remains a barbell approach, recommending a controlled allocation while waiting for more news [1] - According to China Merchants Securities, the lagging performance of Hong Kong stocks compared to A-shares is due to overseas liquidity dynamics. The US unemployment rate has dropped to 4.4%, supporting a 95.6% probability of the Fed pausing rate cuts in January.

Despite lacking hot topics like commercial aerospace and military sectors, a recovery in sentiment may drive southbound capital to boost the tech sector [1] Group 2 - Industrial Securities prioritizes recommending leading internet companies in China's AI sector, expecting a resonance of buying from both domestic and foreign investors.
