1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report [2][3] 2. Core View of the Report - Suggest adopting a long - position approach and paying attention to the price range of 280,000 - 290,000 yuan/ton for tin investment. The macro - environment shows potential positive signals from China - US communication. The supply side may face shortages due to factors like the closure of illegal tin mines in Indonesia and changes in global tin - ore production. The demand side remains weak with most downstream and terminal enterprises being cautious. Technically, there is a decline in the bullish sentiment [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Market - The closing price of the main Shanghai tin futures contract is 283,170 yuan/ton, down 3,550 yuan; the 11 - 12 month contract closing price is down 390 yuan but with a 180 - yuan increase in the ring - comparison. LME 3 - month tin is at 36,090 US dollars/ton, up 440 US dollars. The main contract open interest of Shanghai tin is 40,436 lots, down 4,648 lots.

The average price of 60% tin concentrate is 273,900 yuan/ton, up 600 yuan, and the processing fee is 6,500 yuan/ton, unchanged [3] 3.4 Industry Situation - The monthly output of refined tin is 14,000 tons, down 1,600 tons. The monthly import volume of refined tin is 1,501.64 tons, up 63.06 tons [3] 3.5 Downstream Situation - The price of 60A solder bar in Gejiu is 183,800 yuan/ton, unchanged.

The IMF predicts that by 2030, the US government's total debt - to - GDP ratio will soar by over 20 percentage points to 143.4% [3] 3.7 View Summary - On the macro - level, there are positive signals from China - US communication. On the fundamental level, the closure of illegal tin mines in Indonesia may tighten tin - ore supply. Tin - ore imports in September decreased month - on - month, with slow production recovery in Myanmar, unexpected decline in Africa and Australia, and the upcoming rainy season in Africa. At the smelting end, raw material shortages are severe in Yunnan, and the waste - recycling system in Jiangxi is under pressure with low operating rates. On the demand side, most downstream and terminal enterprises are waiting and only making small - quantity purchases, with low restocking enthusiasm. LME inventory increased slightly, and the spot premium rebounded slightly. Technically, the long - position sentiment declined as open interest decreased and prices fell. It is recommended to take a long - position approach and focus on the 280,000 - 290,000 yuan/ton range [3] 3.8 Key Points to Watch - There is no news today [3]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The main contract of Shanghai copper fluctuated and declined, with a decrease in open interest, a premium in the spot market, and a strengthening basis. Fundamentally, the tight supply situation of copper concentrates has not improved, with TC fees hovering in the negative range. Overseas mine disturbances still have an impact, and ore prices remain firm. On the supply side, due to a large number of maintenance operations and the tight supply of copper ore and blister copper, smelting capacity may be restricted. Additionally, the price of sulfuric acid, a by - product of smelting, shows signs of decline, affecting smelting profits and potentially leading to a decline in the operating rate. Domestic refined copper supply is gradually contracting. On the demand side, copper prices remain high due to cost support and overseas macro - sentiment. Downstream buyers are hesitant due to high prices and adopt a cautious wait - and - see purchasing strategy, resulting in a weak trading sentiment in the spot market. High copper prices thus suppress downstream demand. Overall, the fundamentals of Shanghai copper may be in a situation of weak supply and demand, with industrial inventory accumulating. In the options market, the call - put ratio of at - the - money options is 1.37, a month - on - month increase of 0.1909, indicating a bullish sentiment in the options market and a slight increase in implied volatility. Technically, for the 60 - minute MACD, the two lines are above the 0 axis, and the green bars are expanding. The operation suggestion is to conduct light - position oscillating trading, paying attention to controlling the rhythm and trading risks [2]. 3.
