Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - Tariff concerns persist, limiting the upside potential of base metals. Although Trump's tariff threat has a negative impact, the marginal negative effect is weakening. The potential incremental stimulus policies can partially offset the negative impact of the tariff policy. In the short - to medium - term, the supply - demand of base metals is expected to tighten, supporting prices. Long - term, there are still expectations of incremental stimulus policies and supply disturbances for copper, aluminum, and tin [3]. - Copper: Trade frictions lead to a short - term decline in copper prices. Supply constraints exist, and long - term, the price center may shift upward [8][9]. - Alumina: The fundamentals are still weak, and the price is under pressure [9]. - Aluminum: Pay attention to consumption changes, and the price fluctuates at a high level. In the medium - term, the price center may shift upward [12][13]. - Aluminum alloy: The cost provides support, and the price fluctuates within a range. Consider cross - variety arbitrage opportunities [13][14]. - Zinc: Inventory continues to accumulate, and the price fluctuates with non - ferrous metals. In the long - term, there is a risk of price decline [15]. - Lead: Recycled lead smelters are about to resume production, and the price fluctuates downward [16]. - Nickel: LME nickel inventory exceeds 240,000 tons, and the price fluctuates widely. Short - term, it is in a wide - range shock; long - term, it is under observation [18][20]. - Stainless steel: The price of nickel iron weakens, and the stainless - steel price drops. Short - term, it is expected to fluctuate within a range [21][24]. - Tin: Supply constraints remain, and the price fluctuates [24]. Summary According to Related Catalogs 1.
