Core Views Copper - Shanghai copper opened high, declined during the day, and closed flat. Due to mine - end disturbances in Chile and Indonesia and the failure of Panama to resume production, supply concerns increased. In September, China's electrolytic copper production decreased month - on - month. Although the real estate sector is a drag, new technologies support downstream demand. Entering the interest - rate cut cycle, copper prices are expected to rise mainly in a volatile manner [9]. Lithium Carbonate - After the holiday, lithium carbonate opened and closed lower. The supply is relatively stable, and the demand is in the peak season. After the Tibetan Mining obtained the mining right, the supply - demand remains loose. The market is in the stage of shock consolidation [10][11]. Crude Oil - OPEC + decided to increase production in November, which will increase the pressure on crude oil in the fourth quarter. The consumption peak season is over, and the demand is weak. It is recommended to short on rallies [12]. Asphalt - The asphalt production rate has recovered, and the expected production in October is high. The downstream demand is affected by funds and rainfall. With the weakening of crude oil prices, asphalt futures prices are expected to decline in a volatile manner [13][14]. PP - The downstream PP operating rate has increased slightly, but the peak - season demand is less than expected. With the increase in supply and the decline in crude oil prices, PP is expected to decline in a volatile manner [15]. Plastic - The plastic operating rate has decreased slightly, and the downstream demand is in the peak season but the performance is not as expected. With the increase in supply and the decline in crude oil prices, plastic is expected to decline in a volatile manner [17]. PVC - The PVC operating rate has increased, but the downstream demand is low. The export expectation is weak, and the inventory pressure is large. With the cost weakening, PVC is expected to decline under pressure [18][19]. Coking Coal - Coking coal opened and closed higher. The supply is expected to gradually recover, and the demand remains stable. The market will fluctuate within a narrow range [20]. Urea - Urea opened and closed lower. The supply is high, and the demand is affected by weather and holidays. The futures price has fallen below the key level, and attention should be paid to the recovery of the spot market [21][22].

For example, copper is long - term bullish due to supply shortages and strong demand, while zinc is a bearish configuration in the medium - long term due to increasing supply and weakening demand [1][7][11] - For new energy metals like lithium carbonate, policy expectations and demand support prices, but attention should be paid to supply - side factors such as mine复产 [1][23] Summary by Variety Gold - **Market situation**: After the cease - fire in the Gaza Strip, the safe - haven sentiment partially withdrew, and gold adjusted from its high level [2] - **Logic**: Factors such as the US government shutdown, political uncertainties in France and Japan, and central bank gold - buying support the long - term rise of gold prices. The cease - fire in the Middle East causes short - term adjustments [3] - **Strategy**: Long - term positions should be held. Short - term investors can buy on dips. Domestic gold may test the 900 support level [1][4] Silver - **Market situation**: It fluctuates greatly following gold, with a significant drop after reaching a high [1] - **Logic**: Global policy stimulus leads to strong demand and an obvious supply - demand gap, supporting long - term prices. Gold price fluctuations impact the silver market [1] - **Strategy**: Short - term investors can try to go long, and long - term investors should hold [1] Copper - **Market situation**: Shanghai copper reached the 88,000 - yuan mark and then quickly fell back, while LME copper was close to its historical high [7] - **Logic**: Supply shortages due to mine accidents and production cuts, along with strong demand from emerging industries, drive up prices. However, high prices suppress short - term demand [7] - **Strategy**: Hold existing long positions with trailing stops. New long positions should wait for a pull - back to stabilize. Long - term bullish. Shanghai copper focus range is [84,500, 88,500] yuan/ton, and LME copper is [10,000, 11,000] dollars/ton [1][8] Zinc - **Market situation**: Zinc prices rose overnight and then fell back, with LME zinc back above the 3,000 - dollar mark. The domestic and overseas trends are divergent, with the domestic market being weaker [11] - **Logic**: Domestic supply is relatively loose, while overseas inventories are low. Demand from real estate and infrastructure is weak, but export may increase [11] - **Strategy**: In the short term, the upside space of Shanghai zinc is limited. Sell - hedging can be arranged on rallies. In the medium - long term, it is a bearish configuration. Shanghai zinc focus range is [22,000, 22,600] yuan/ton, and LME zinc is [2,900, 3,100] dollars/ton [12] Aluminum - **Market situation**: Aluminum prices rose and then fell, while alumina continued to be weak [14] - **Logic**: There is an expectation of interest - rate cuts overseas. The domestic aluminum inventory increased during the holiday, and the alumina market is in an oversupply situation [15] - **Strategy**: In the short term, take profit and wait and see. Pay attention to the changes in the downstream processing enterprises'开工 rate. The main operating range of Shanghai aluminum is [20,600 - 21,500] [16] Nickel - **Market situation**: Nickel prices rebounded under pressure, and stainless steel prices slightly declined [18] - **Logic**: The supply of nickel ore is relatively sufficient, and the domestic pure nickel inventory increased slightly. The downstream consumption season is uncertain, and the inventory of stainless steel increased [19] - **Strategy**: Temporarily wait and see. Pay attention to the improvement of downstream consumption. The main operating range of nickel is [121,000 - 125,000] [20] Lithium Carbonate - **Market situation**: The main contract LC2511 rose and then fell back, with the late - session gain narrowing [22] - **Logic**: Policy requirements and export controls impact the market. The production of lithium carbonate is at a high level, and the demand from the battery industry is relatively stable, which supports the price [23] - **Strategy**: Try to go long on dips in the range of [72,800 - 74,500] [24]
