Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - On December 12, 2025, the A - share market showed a mixed performance across different sectors. Some sectors like stock index futures rose, while others such as coke, coal, and some commodities faced downward pressure. The market is influenced by various factors including supply - demand relationships, macro - economic conditions, and external news [1][2][3]. - Different commodities are in different supply - demand situations. For example, the soybean market has abundant supply in the short - term but faces long - term supply pressure; the pig market is in a situation of strong supply and weak demand; and the copper market has support from macro and supply - demand factors but also faces callback risks [5][6]. Summary by Variety Stock Index Futures - On December 12, the three major A - share indexes rose. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.41% to 3889.35 points, the Shenzhen Component Index rose 0.84% to 13258.33 points, and the ChiNext Index rose 0.97% to 3194.36 points. The trading volume of the two markets reached 2092.2 billion yuan, an increase of 235.1 billion yuan from the previous day [1]. - The CSI 300 index fluctuated and closed at 4580.95, a rise of 28.77 compared to the previous day [2]. Coke and Coking Coal - On December 12, the weighted coke index was weak, closing at 1548.6, a decrease of 51.0 compared to the previous day. The weighted coking coal index remained weak, closing at 999.7 yuan, a decrease of 34.5 compared to the previous day [2][3]. - For coke, the first - round reduction of spot purchase prices has been implemented, supply is stable, but demand may weaken due to potential steel mill production cuts. The second - round price reduction has started, and coking enterprises maintain high production due to improved profitability. For coking coal, affected by Mongolia's plan to increase coal exports next year, it dropped significantly on the 11th. The supply is tight, but the Mongolian coal port's customs clearance has recovered to a high level, and the market trading sentiment is cold [4]. Zhengzhou Sugar - Affected by the strengthening of short - term technical indicators, short - sellers closed their positions, pushing up the US sugar price on Friday. The Zhengzhou sugar 2605 contract fluctuated slightly higher. As of the week ending November 18, speculators reduced their net short positions in ICE raw sugar futures and options by 11,860 lots to 201,910 lots [4]. Rubber - Affected by Thailand's rubber price - stabilizing measures, Shanghai rubber fluctuated slightly higher on Friday. As of December 12, the Shanghai Futures Exchange's natural rubber inventory increased by 12324 tons to 105542 tons, and the futures warehouse receipts increased by 11460 tons to 56990 tons. The 20 - grade rubber inventory increased by 604 tons to 61689 tons, and the futures warehouse receipts increased by 2218 tons to 59573 tons [4]. Soybean and Bean Meal - Multiple institutions estimate that the soybean production in South America is still at a historically high level. The sowing of Argentine soybeans is 58% complete, and the crop quality is fair. The US Department of Agriculture estimates Brazil's and Argentina's soybean production at 175 million tons and 48.5 million tons respectively, the same as in November. - On December 12, the M2605 main contract of domestic bean meal closed at 2770 yuan/ton, a rise of 0.73%. Currently, the supply of imported soybeans is abundant, and the oil mills have a high crushing volume. However, the extension of customs clearance time and the pre - holiday stocking of feed enterprises have relieved the supply pressure of bean meal. The bean meal futures show a near - strong and far - weak pattern [5]. Live Pigs - On December 12, the LH2603 main contract of live pigs closed at 11325 yuan/ton, a rise of 0.94%. The supply of live pigs in the market is abundant, which suppresses the futures price. Although the consumption of pork has improved marginally due to the drop in temperature and the start of the traditional curing season in the southwest region, the current consumption recovery is still mild, and the market is in a situation of strong supply and weak demand [6]. Shanghai Copper - On Friday, the main contract of Shanghai copper showed a pattern of rising during the day and falling sharply at night, with a slight overall increase. The highest price was 94360 yuan/ton, and it closed at 91550 yuan/ton at night. Short - term macro - economic easing and supply - demand balance support the copper price, but high prices may suppress downstream demand and lead to profit - taking and callback risks [6]. Iron Ore - On December 12, the 2605 main contract of iron ore fluctuated and closed down, with a decline of 0.33% to 760.5 yuan. The global shipment of iron ore increased, the arrival volume continued to decline, the port inventory continued to accumulate, the terminal demand in the off - season decreased, and the iron water production decreased further. The iron ore price is in a volatile trend in the short term [6]. Asphalt - On December 12, the 2602 main contract of asphalt fluctuated and closed down, with a decline of 0.34% to 2962 yuan. The asphalt production capacity utilization rate decreased slightly, the inventory reduction rate continued to slow down, the demand in the north was flat, and the terminal demand in the south was weak. The asphalt market is in a situation of weak supply and demand, and the price shows a volatile trend in the short term [6]. Logs - On Friday, the 2601 contract of logs opened at 747.5, with the lowest price of 743.5, the highest price of 750, and closed at 749, with an increase of 10 lots in positions. Attention should be paid to position transfer and spot - end support. The spot prices in Shandong and Jiangsu remained unchanged compared to the previous day, and the supply - demand relationship has no major contradictions. Future attention should be paid to spot prices, import data, inventory changes, and macro - market sentiment [6][7][8]. Cotton - On Friday night, the main contract of Zhengzhou cotton closed at 13905 yuan/ton. The cotton inventory increased by 142 lots compared to the previous day, and downstream spinning mills purchase as needed [8]. Steel - The Central Economic Work Conference released positive macro - policy signals, which are conducive to market stability. However, the steel market is currently dominated by fundamentals. On the 12th, cold wave, snowstorm, and gale warnings were issued, and the demand for steel in the off - season further weakened. In the short term, the demand contraction may be greater than the supply, the inventory pressure is increasing, and the steel price shows a weak and volatile trend [8]. Alumina - As the pre - Spring Festival transportation capacity decreases and the delivery warehouse releases expired warehouse receipts, holders' inventory and sales pressure increase, leading to low - price sales. The electrolytic aluminum enterprises have sufficient raw material inventory, and although short - term production cuts may drive the price up, it is difficult to pass on the price increase to the end - market. The overall supply of ore is increasing, and the price is in a downward process. The alumina market has a supply - demand mismatch, the social inventory is accumulating, and the cost - side support is weakening [8]. Shanghai Aluminum - In terms of supply, the operating capacity of domestic electrolytic aluminum has changed little, and the output increase is limited. The transportation in the northwest is restricted, and the arrival at the consumption area is normal. In terms of demand, although December is the traditional off - season, the overall consumption has not declined significantly, the aluminum - water ratio remains high, and the social inventory of aluminum ingots has not entered a continuous accumulation stage. The current market is more affected by macro - expectations, with macro - factors being positive and fundamentals having both long and short factors [8].

Ratings - No report industry investment rating is provided in the content. 3. Core Views - Copper prices are expected to remain high and fluctuate, supported by fundamentals but affected by the expected interest rate hike of the Bank of Japan [8]. - The current industrial fundamentals of lithium carbonate are healthy, but the momentum to drive lithium prices up is insufficient, so it is cautiously bullish in the short term [25]. - Aluminum prices are likely to rise easily and fall hard in the short term, and it is recommended to buy on dips and be cautious about chasing up [42]. - Nickel prices are expected to continue to be weak under the pressure of oversupply [76]. - Zinc prices will maintain a strong short - term pattern but may enter a high - level shock later [102]. 4. Summary by Metals Copper 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - This week, SHFE copper fluctuated between 91,450 and 94,570, with a total position of 646,872 lots. The spot premium turned to a discount of 20 on Friday. The copper price hit a record high due to the Fed's interest rate cut, China's policy expectations, and supply - demand support. LME copper ranged from 11,585 to 11,952, and the net long position of funds increased [7]. - It is recommended to note that although the supply of refined copper is under limited pressure and the demand acceptance has marginally improved, the expected interest rate hike of the Bank of Japan may suppress market sentiment. Overall, copper prices are expected to fluctuate at a high level [8]. 2. Fundamental Analysis - Supply: The import TC of copper concentrate continued to decline, while the processing fees of cold materials increased. The smelting loss of spot copper concentrate expanded, but the by - product sulfuric acid revenue rose. SMM expects the electrolytic copper output in December to increase by 65,700 tons month - on - month. The import window of refined copper is closed [11][12][14]. - Demand: The weekly operating rate of scrap copper rods increased by 9.01 percentage points to 18.16%, while that of refined copper rods decreased by 2.82% to 64.54%.

Zinc 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - This week, SHFE zinc rose to repair the gap in April and then fluctuated at a high level. The spot premium declined, and the processing fees of zinc ore continued to fall. The domestic social inventory decreased by 7,800 tons to 128,200 tons, and the LME zinc inventory increased [101]. - It is recommended to note that under the joint drive of macro - benefits and fundamental shortages, zinc prices will maintain a strong short - term pattern but may enter a high - level shock later. Attention should be paid to the actual production reduction of smelters, inventory destocking rhythm, and macro - sentiment changes [102]. 2. Fundamental Analysis - Supply: The processing fees of zinc ore continued to decline, and the production of refined zinc in November may have declined slightly. In December, the production is expected to continue to fall.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. Core Views of the Reports Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon spot prices are stable, and futures prices are oscillating. It is expected to maintain a weak supply - demand situation in December, with prices fluctuating in the range of 8000 - 9000 yuan/ton, and attention should be paid to the support at 8000 yuan/ton and coal price changes [1]. Polysilicon - Spot prices are stable, and the main contract has risen. Although new delivery brands are beneficial for increasing deliverable volume and warehouse receipts, considering weak demand and a large decline in production, polysilicon futures may still oscillate at a high level, and the spot is still under pressure [2]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy market is oscillating strongly in the game between strong cost support and weak demand. It is expected to maintain a narrow - range high - level oscillation in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 20700 - 21400 yuan/ton [3]. Aluminum - Alumina is expected to maintain a bottom - oscillation, with the main contract reference range moving down to 2400 - 2700 yuan/ton. Aluminum is expected to run strongly in the short term, with the main contract of Shanghai Aluminum oscillating in the range of 21700 - 22400 yuan/ton [4]. Tin - Market sentiment is positive, and the fundamentals are strong. It is expected that tin prices will maintain a strong trend throughout the year, and a bullish view on tin prices is maintained [6]. Zinc - With the decline of TC, the supply pressure is relieved, and the short - term price has limited downward space. The export of refined zinc drives the spot to tighten, boosting domestic zinc prices. The short - term Shanghai zinc price trend may be stronger than that of London zinc, and the main contract should focus on the support at 23000 - 23200 [8]. Copper - In the short term, the imbalance of global copper supply and inventory drives copper prices to rise rapidly, and price fluctuations may intensify. In the long term, the supply - demand contradiction of copper still exists, supporting the gradual upward movement of the bottom center of copper prices [10]. Nickel - Macro factors are temporarily stable. After the valuation repair of nickel prices, the price driving force weakens. In the medium term, the loose fundamentals restrict the upward space of prices. It is expected to oscillate in a range in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 116000 - 120000 [13]. Stainless Steel - Macro factors are temporarily stable, the supply pressure eases slightly, but the demand in the off - season is weak, and inventory reduction is not smooth. It is expected to oscillate and adjust in the short term, with the main contract operating range of 12400 - 12800 [15]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate market is running strongly. Although the fundamentals have not changed much, the market is affected by news of slower - than - expected upstream resumption of production. In the short term, it may maintain a strong oscillation under the drive of capital sentiment [18].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - For copper, the LME cash - 3m spread rose significantly due to a large increase in cancelled warrants in Asia, causing short - term market panic. The copper price exceeded $11,000 again, with a structural supply - demand gap and uneven global inventory distribution. In China, consumption slowed due to high prices, and a slight inventory build - up is expected until the Spring Festival. The overall idea is to buy on dips, with the price expected to range from $10,800 to $12,000 in December [1]. - For aluminum, overseas interest - rate cut expectations are beneficial to the overall trend. Aluminum ingot inventory remained flat, while aluminum products continued to reduce inventory. The end - of - year demand was good. Supply and demand are expected to be loose in early 2026 and then gradually tighten [1]. - For zinc, the price rose this week. The supply of domestic zinc ore is expected to tighten from the fourth quarter to the first quarter of next year, and many smelters will undergo maintenance in December. Domestic demand is seasonally weak, while overseas demand in the US has increased. The recommendation is to wait and see for single - sided trading, focus on reverse arbitrage opportunities between domestic and overseas markets, and consider positive arbitrage opportunities for the 01 - 03 spread [4][5][6]. - For nickel, the supply of pure nickel decreased slightly, demand was weak, and both domestic and overseas inventories continued to build up. With ongoing disturbances in the Indonesian nickel mining sector, short - selling opportunities on price rallies are worth attention [7][8]. - For stainless steel, steel mills maintained high production, demand was mainly for essential needs, and inventory remained at a high level. Considering the price - support motivation from Indonesian policies, short - selling opportunities on price rallies are recommended [11]. - For lead, the price stopped falling and rebounded. The supply of primary lead remained high, and the supply of recycled lead increased. Demand is expected to weaken. The price is expected to oscillate between 17,100 and 17,600 yuan next week, and attention should be paid to the risk of low warehouse receipts [12][13]. - For tin, the price was lifted by the overall non - ferrous market. The supply of tin ore is expected to increase in the long - term but with limited elasticity. The short - term fundamentals are acceptable, and it can be considered as a long - position allocation in the non - ferrous sector in the first half of 2026 [16]. - For industrial silicon, the market oscillated weakly this week. The supply and demand are balanced in December, and the price is expected to oscillate. In the long - term, the price is expected to oscillate at the bottom of the cycle based on the seasonal marginal cost [18]. - For lithium carbonate, the futures price dropped significantly this week. The supply and demand are both strong in the short - term. However, due to high inventory in the intermediate and battery raw material sectors, the upside potential depends on inventory reduction, the emergence of speculative demand, or stronger holding intentions [20].

Tin - **Price**: The tin price was lifted by the overall non - ferrous market [16]. - **Supply**: The processing fee of tin ore remained low, and the overseas production recovery was slow. However, high prices stimulated inventory exports [16]. - **Demand**: The demand was mainly supported by rigidity, and the downstream's acceptable price level increased [16]. - **Outlook**: The short - term fundamentals are acceptable, and it can be considered as a long - position allocation in the non - ferrous sector in the first half of 2026 [16]. Industrial Silicon - **Price**: The market oscillated weakly, and the actual transaction price of some grades was around 9,400 - 9,500 yuan/ton [18]. - **Supply**: Southwest producers reduced production to support prices, while northern producers maintained stable production [18]. - **Demand**: Terminal procurement enthusiasm was average, and transactions were mainly based on low - price point - pricing [18]. - **Outlook**: The supply and demand are balanced in December, and the price is expected to oscillate. In the long - term, the price is expected to oscillate at the bottom of the cycle based on the seasonal marginal cost [18]. Lithium Carbonate - **Price**: The futures price dropped significantly, and the spot price increased slightly [20]. - **Supply**: The upstream inventory continued to decrease, and the delivery to warehouses was slow [20]. - **Demand**: Downstream material factories were mainly purchasing for essential needs, and the spot - trading activity increased as the price declined [20]. - **Outlook**: The supply and demand are both strong in the short - term. However, due to high inventory in the intermediate and battery raw material sectors, the upside potential depends on inventory reduction, the emergence of speculative demand, or stronger holding intentions [20].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The central economic work conference has a positive tone, and the improvement of demand expectations may boost basic metals. In the short - to - medium term, positive macro - expectations and supply disruption concerns continue to support prices. In the long term, there are still expectations of potential incremental stimulus policies in China, and the supply disruption issues of copper, aluminum, and tin remain, with expectations of tightening supply - demand [1]. - For different metals, the report gives specific views: copper prices will oscillate and rise; alumina prices will continue to be under pressure; aluminum prices will oscillate and rise; alloy prices will oscillate at a high level; zinc prices will oscillate at a high level; lead prices will stabilize and rebound; nickel prices will run weakly; stainless - steel prices will correct; tin prices will oscillate and strengthen [2]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1行情观点 3.1.1 Copper - **View**: The Fed continues to cut interest rates, and copper prices oscillate and rise, showing a trend of being oscillatory and strong in the medium - term [6][7][8]. - **Analysis**: The Fed cuts interest rates and restarts balance - sheet expansion, providing liquidity support. The supply of copper ore is tight, and CSPT will reduce the production capacity of mine copper by more than 10% in 2026. The terminal demand is weak, but the spot is at a premium, and the overseas squeeze on positions boosts prices [6][7]. 3.1.2 Alumina - **View**: The oversupply situation has not improved significantly, and alumina prices continue to be under pressure, with an expected oscillatory trend [8][9]. - **Analysis**: High - cost production capacity fluctuates, and there are short - term disturbances, but the supply contraction is insufficient, with strong inventory accumulation. Raw material prices are weak, and the futures - spot price difference is large. Although the valuation is low, the price may still be under pressure [9]. 3.1.3 Aluminum - **View**: Aluminum inventory has decreased, and aluminum prices oscillate and rise, showing an oscillatory and strong trend in the short - term and a potential upward shift of the price center in the medium - term [12][13]. - **Analysis**: The macro - environment is complex, with fluctuating interest - rate cut expectations. The domestic production capacity is high, while overseas supply may tighten in the long - term. The terminal demand is stable, and the inventory is decreasing [12][13]. 3.1.4 Aluminum Alloy - **View**: Cost support continues, and the market oscillates at a high level, with an oscillatory and strong trend in the short - and medium - term [14][15]. - **Analysis**: The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, providing cost support. The supply side has production reduction risks, while the demand side shows marginal improvement, and the inventory shows a mixed trend [14][15]. 3.1.5 Zinc - **View**: Social inventory has decreased, and zinc prices oscillate at a high level, with an overall oscillatory trend [16][18][19]. - **Analysis**: The Fed's dovish stance and weak economic data increase the expectation of interest - rate cuts. The short - term supply of zinc ore is tight, and the demand is in the off - season. The inventory may not accumulate, but there is still a potential for price decline in the long - term [18][19]. 3.1.6 Lead - **View**: Social inventory remains at a low level, and lead prices stabilize and rebound, showing an oscillatory trend [20][21]. - **Analysis**: The spot premium is stable, and the supply of lead ingots is tight in some regions. The demand from the battery industry is relatively good, and the inventory is at a low level [20][21]. 3.1.7 Nickel - **View**: LME inventory remains at a high level, and nickel prices run weakly, showing an oscillatory trend [21][23]. - **Analysis**: The market sentiment dominates the market, and the industrial fundamentals are weakening. The overall supply of nickel resources is loose, and the inventory is high, but there are potential supply - side policy risks [21][23]. 3.1.8 Stainless Steel - **View**: Weak nickel prices drive the stainless - steel market to correct, with an expected range - bound oscillation [24]. - **Analysis**: The cost support of nickel iron is strengthening, but the stainless - steel production is expected to decline in December. The inventory may accumulate in the off - season, but the profit compression and cost support limit the price decline [24]. 3.1.9 Tin - **View**: Supply concerns remain unresolved, and tin prices oscillate and strengthen [25][27]. - **Analysis**: The supply of tin is tight, with slow复产 in mines, restricted exports from Indonesia, and limited production in Africa. The demand is growing in semiconductor, photovoltaic, and new - energy vehicle industries, which will push up the price [26][27]. 3.2行情监测 - **Comprehensive Index**: The comprehensive index, specialty index (including commodity 20 index and industrial products index), and sector index (non - ferrous metals index) are presented, with specific values and changes on December 11, 2025 [154][156].
