1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Copper - Short - term trading focuses on interest - rate cut expectations. US inflation data shows potential upward pressure, and the actual rate - cut magnitude is uncertain. The extension of the China - US tariff truce releases short - term tariff risks. In the fundamental aspect, it is approaching the traditional peak season, with strong spot premiums, declining domestic social inventories, and improved spot trading after price drops. In the long - term, copper pricing will return to macro trading. The weak US economy caps the upside of copper prices, but the market is not in a recession narrative, so the downside is also limited. Short - term trading is expected to be range - bound between 78,000 - 80,000 [1]. Aluminum - Last week, the aluminum price first rose and then fell. Supply - side news initially boosted the price, but later, the price was pressured by factors such as the increase in registered warehouse receipts. In the fundamental aspect, the supply of bauxite is expected to tighten in the short - term, but the alumina market will remain in a slight surplus in the medium - term due to profit - driven capacity recovery and new capacity additions. The price of the main alumina contract is expected to fluctuate between 3,000 - 3,300. For electrolytic aluminum, the market is affected by factors such as supply - side disturbances, demand weakness, and macro uncertainties. The price of the main contract is expected to be between 20,000 - 21,000 [5]. Aluminum Alloy - The aluminum alloy market remains in a situation of weak supply and demand. The cost is supported by the shortage of scrap aluminum, but the demand is suppressed by the traditional off - season and weak orders in the automotive industry. The market is expected to remain range - bound between 19,600 - 20,400, and attention should be paid to changes in scrap aluminum supply and imports [7]. Zinc - Upstream zinc mines are in an up - cycle of production and resumption. The zinc ore TC has risen, but the production growth rates of the global and domestic zinc mines in some periods were lower than expected. The demand is in the seasonal off - season, with low spot premiums and low operating rates in primary processing industries. The low global inventory provides price support. The zinc price is expected to be range - bound between 22,000 - 23,000 [11]. Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the actual output from Myanmar is expected to resume in the fourth quarter. The demand is weak after the end of the photovoltaic installation peak and the entry of the electronics industry into the off - season. The tin price has fallen due to factors such as the strong US dollar. If the supply recovers smoothly, a short - selling strategy is recommended; otherwise, the price is expected to remain high and volatile [14]. Nickel - Last week, the nickel price fluctuated widely. The macro - environment shows easing inflation pressure and a weak employment market, increasing the market's expectation of more aggressive easing. The domestic nickel price is mainly oscillating, and the supply of nickel ore is expected to be loose. The nickel price is expected to be range - bound between 118,000 - 126,000, and attention should be paid to changes in macro expectations [16]. Stainless Steel - Last week, the stainless - steel price oscillated. The market is in the transition from the off - season to the peak season, with cautious downstream procurement. The export pressure has eased, and the macro - expectation has strengthened slightly. The price of raw materials is stable. The stainless - steel price is expected to be range - bound between 12,800 - 13,500, and attention should be paid to policy trends and nickel - iron dynamics [17]. Lithium Carbonate - Last week, the lithium carbonate futures price increased significantly. The fundamental situation is in a tight balance. The supply is expected to contract in the short - term, while the demand is showing a positive trend as it enters the peak season. The market is in a state of overall de - stocking. The price is expected to fluctuate widely in a strong range, around 85,000 - 90,000. It is recommended to wait and see cautiously and consider light - position long - entry on dips [20]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2.
