Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For copper, maintain a strategy of buying on dips considering the continuous tightness in the mining end and the growth of infrastructure and power demand in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Pay attention to the support around $10,300 for LME copper [1]. - For aluminum, with good domestic apparent demand, high proportion of molten aluminum, de - stocking of aluminum ingots and various aluminum products, and supply disruptions overseas, hold long - term on dips due to the low inventory [1]. - For zinc, the domestic fundamentals are poor, but there may be a phased reduction in supply at the end of the year. In the short - term, it is recommended to wait and see for single - side trading, pay attention to reverse arbitrage opportunities between domestic and overseas markets, and positive arbitrage opportunities for the spread between December and February contracts [2]. - For nickel, the short - term fundamentals are weak, but there are continuous disturbances at the Indonesian mining end and the policy side has the motivation to support prices. Pay attention to short - selling opportunities [3]. - For lead, it is expected that the domestic and overseas lead prices will maintain a narrow - range oscillation next week, in the range of 17,200 - 17,500. It is recommended to wait and see the resumption of secondary lead production and the increase of warehouse receipts [6]. - For tin, in the short - term, follow the macro sentiment and wait and see.

There are still supply disturbances in scrap copper in Anhui and other places, and the uncertainty of scrap copper supply will continue to increase in the fourth quarter and next year [1]. - Overseas, the export window has opened, but no inventory delivery has been observed. The divergence between the start - up rates of copper and aluminum cables is obvious, and attention should be paid to whether the start - up rate stabilizes [1]. Aluminum - The operating capacity remains flat. The production schedule of photovoltaic modules has stabilized, and the proportion of molten aluminum has increased significantly in September. There is seasonal inventory accumulation of aluminum ingots and bars, but the post - holiday inventory reduction is considerable, and the apparent demand is rising [1]. - The global economic recovery is showing signs, and the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation is strengthening. However, the uncertainty of Sino - US economic and trade relations has deepened, and some European electrolytic aluminum plants have reduced production due to equipment failures [1]. Zinc - Supply: Domestic and imported TC are showing a downward trend.
