Group 1: Report's Core View - Today, Treasury bond futures closed slightly higher. The resurgence of the tariff war has increased market risk aversion, which is favorable for Treasury bond futures. However, in the short term, China's economic data shows strong resilience, reducing the need for an across - the - board interest rate cut. The market's implied expectation of an interest rate cut between market interest rates and policy rates is weak, limiting the upward momentum of Treasury bond futures. From a macro - fundamental perspective, the problem of insufficient effective domestic demand persists, and there is a need for a relatively loose monetary environment in the future. The expectation of policy easing still exists, providing strong support for Treasury bond futures. In general, Treasury bond futures will mainly oscillate at the bottom in the short term [4] Group 2: Industry News - On October 14, the People's Bank of China conducted 91 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations, with a bid volume, winning bid volume of 91 billion yuan, and an operating interest rate of 1.40%. There were no 7 - day reverse repurchase maturities on this day, resulting in a net investment of 91 billion yuan. Additionally, 800 billion yuan of outright reverse repurchases matured [6]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The threat of Trump to impose significant additional tariffs on China is uncertain, and market sentiment needs further clarification. For copper, overseas mine production cuts and reduced domestic refined copper output may support prices. If the trade situation is a short - term shock, there may be buying opportunities after the price decline [2][3]. - The deterioration of Sino - US trade relations is uncertain. For aluminum, if the tariff threat is short - term, market sentiment may recover. With the increase in the domestic aluminum - water ratio and seasonal consumption recovery, the pressure of aluminum ingot inventory accumulation is not large, and the price decline may increase the upward elasticity [5][6]. - For lead, the apparent inventory of lead ore has slightly increased, and the smelting of primary lead is at a high level. The inventory of recycled lead has decreased, and its smelting is at a low level. With the release of downstream demand and the increase in the cancellation of LME lead warehouse receipts, the structural risk of LME lead has increased. Short - term Shanghai lead is expected to fluctuate at a low level with increased risk [8][9]. - For zinc, domestic zinc smelting enterprises operate normally during holidays, and some downstream enterprises have long holidays. The registered LME zinc warehouse receipts are at a low level, and there is a structural risk. After the opening of the zinc ingot export window, short - covering in the domestic market provides short - term support. Short - term Shanghai zinc is expected to fluctuate at a low level with increased risk [10][12]. - For tin, short - term Sino - US trade frictions may lower market risk appetite, but the supply - demand is in a tight balance, and the peak - season demand is recovering. Tin prices may maintain a high - level shock in the short term [13][14]. - For nickel, short - term Sino - US trade frictions may lower market risk appetite, but the impact on nickel prices is relatively small. In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see, and consider buying on dips if the price drops enough. In the long - term, there are potential positive factors for nickel prices [15][17]. - For lithium carbonate, the strong downstream demand during the National Day holiday drives inventory reduction, but the supply replenishment expectation restricts the upside space. The negative sentiment in the equity market may suppress lithium prices, and it is recommended to pay attention to macro - environment changes and supply - demand expectations [19][20]. - For alumina, the short - term ore price has support but may face pressure after the rainy season. The over - capacity pattern in the smelting end is difficult to change in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see, and pay attention to supply - side policies, Guinea's ore policy, and the Fed's monetary policy [22][24]. - For stainless steel, the market is trapped between "cost support" and "weak demand". If the nickel - iron price continues to rise, stainless steel may oscillate upward under cost support [26][27]. - For cast aluminum alloy, the cost - end aluminum price weakens due to Sino - US trade relations, and the contract delivery pressure is large. However, with the improvement of downstream consumption and reduced raw - material supply, the price is expected to have support [29][30] Group 3: Summaries by Metals Copper - **Market Information**: Trump's tariff threat causes market panic, leading to a 3.73% drop in LME copper 3M to $10374/ton and a fall in SHFE copper to 83030 yuan/ton.

Short - term Shanghai zinc is expected to fluctuate at a low level with increased risk [11][12] Tin - **Market Information**: Tin prices fall due to Sino - US trade frictions. The resumption of tin mines in Myanmar is slow, and Indonesia cracks down on illegal mining, increasing supply concerns. The downstream new - energy vehicle and AI server industries are booming, but traditional consumer electronics and photovoltaic industries are weak. The "Golden September and Silver October" peak season drives marginal improvement in consumption [13]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Short - term Sino - US trade frictions may lower market risk appetite, but the supply - demand is in a tight balance, and the peak - season demand is recovering. Tin prices may maintain a high - level shock in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see. The operating range of domestic tin is 280000 - 300000 yuan/ton, and that of LME tin is $36000 - 39000/ton [14] Nickel - **Market Information**: Nickel prices fluctuate and fall at night due to Sino - US trade frictions. The spot market trading is average, and the cost of nickel ore is stable. Nickel - iron prices are firm, and the price of MHP is high [15]. - **Strategy Viewpoint**: Short - term Sino - US trade frictions may lower market risk appetite, but the impact on nickel prices is relatively small.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, all treasury bond futures maintained low-level volatile consolidation. In the short term, the strong risk appetite in the stock market suppressed bond purchase demand, the necessity of a comprehensive interest rate cut was not high, and the recent rebound of treasury bond futures limited the short-term upward momentum. However, since the demand side of the macroeconomy still requires a relatively loose monetary environment, in the medium to long term, future monetary policies tend to be loose, providing strong support for treasury bond futures. News-wise, Trump suddenly threatened tariffs on Friday night, increasing the uncertainty risk in the foreign trade environment, raising market risk aversion, and providing short-term positive support for treasury bond futures. Overall, in the short term, both the upward momentum and downward space of treasury bond futures are limited, and they will mainly undergo bottom volatile consolidation [1][25] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalog 1 Market Review - 1.1 Treasury Bond Trends: The report presents the price trends of TL2512, T2512, TF2512, and TS2512, but no specific analysis of these trends is provided [5][7][9][11] 2 Treasury Bond Indicators - 2.1 Interest Rate Term Structure: The report shows the interest rate term structures of the Ministry of Finance - local bonds and ChinaBond treasury bonds, but no in - depth analysis [14][15] - 2.2 Central Bank Open - Market Operations: The report shows a chart of central bank open - market operations, but no detailed analysis [18] - 2.3 Treasury Bond Yield Curve: The report shows a chart of the treasury bond yield curve, but no specific analysis [19] - 2.4 Market Interest Rates and Policy Interest Rates: The report shows a chart of market interest rates and policy interest rates, but no in - depth analysis [23] 3 Conclusion - Treasury bond futures maintained low - level volatile consolidation. In the short term, the upward momentum and downward space are limited, and they will mainly undergo bottom volatile consolidation [25]
