The disk is expected to be mainly in a weak - shock state, with the main contract expected to trade between 19,200 - 20,000 [4]. Zinc - In the medium - to - long - term, zinc is still in a period of loose supply. If the growth rate of the mining end is lower than expected and downstream consumption performs better than expected, the zinc price may maintain a high - level shock. In a pessimistic scenario, the zinc price may decline. The short - term zinc price is weakening, and the main contract is expected to trade between 21,500 - 23,000 [5]. Nickel - Macro - policy uncertainty increases, and the nickel fundamentals change little. The cost support for refined nickel is loosening. The short - term disk is expected to adjust within a range, with the main contract expected to trade between 118,000 - 126,000 [8]. Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the demand is expected to be weak. With large short - term macro - fluctuations, it is recommended to hold previous high - level short positions [11]. Stainless Steel - There is macro - uncertainty, and the fundamentals still face pressure. The nickel - iron price remains low, the supply - side production reduction is less than expected, and the demand is weak. The short - term disk will mainly fluctuate, with the main contract expected to trade between 12,500 - 13,000 [14]. Lithium Carbonate - The short - term fundamentals still face pressure.
