1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - For precious metals, the push for a cease - fire in the Russia - Ukraine conflict by Europe has led to a sharp drop in hedging demand, but the fundamental support factors remain unchanged. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points each in the next week and December, and the medium - to - long - term monetary easing environment will continue. The global demand for gold allocation remains stable, and institutional investors are still optimistic about the medium - term outlook after the short - term sharp decline [3]. - For copper, the spot market atmosphere is average, downstream sentiment is low and demand is mainly for rigid needs. With the replenishment of domestic and imported supplies, the increase in spot circulation has led to a downward adjustment of premiums [18]. - For aluminum, macro data shows that China's core CPI growth rate expanded to 1% in September, indicating a mild recovery in domestic demand. Overseas, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates, which is positive for aluminum prices. The market believes that the probability of tariff negotiation success is high. The fundamentals of Shanghai aluminum are stable this week, and the continuous destocking of electrolytic aluminum social inventory provides some support for aluminum prices. In the short term, Shanghai aluminum will fluctuate at a high level. Alumina is in an oversupply situation, and prices are falling. Cast aluminum alloy has strong follow - up to Shanghai aluminum and has strong support at the bottom [37]. - For zinc, the fundamentals have not changed significantly recently. Domestic smelting supply is stable, while overseas there are production cuts. The price spread has been widening due to inconsistent fundamentals. The domestic zinc market is in a situation of strong supply and weak demand. Low inventory provides short - term price support. Attention should be paid to the opening of the export window and the possibility of macro - upward driving forces [60]. - For the nickel industry chain, the fundamentals have not changed significantly. There are still expectations of interest rate cuts this year at the macro level, and the progress of Sino - US tariffs affects risk appetite. In the nickel ore market, Indonesia's new quota regulations may lead to a decline in 2026 quotas. The new energy sector is in the peak season, with strong demand. Nickel iron prices are weak, and stainless steel prices may decline slightly. Attention should be paid to the follow - up development of Sino - US tariffs and interest rate cut expectations [75]. - For tin, the fundamentals have not changed. Yunnan's production has declined, and concentrate imports have dropped sharply. Supply is weaker than demand. In the short term, it is difficult to solve the supply - side disturbances, and Shanghai tin is still strong, with support expected around 276,000 yuan [92]. - For lithium carbonate, market demand is good, and warehouse receipts are continuously and significantly destocked. Before the end of the year, the demand of downstream lithium - battery material enterprises is expected to continue to grow month - on - month, which will support the futures price [106]. - For the silicon industry chain, for industrial silicon, as the dry season approaches, enterprise production cuts are expected to increase, and the price center may move up slightly, but the price increase is limited due to high inventory. For polysilicon, there are production cuts in the southwest region, and the specific impact needs further observation [118]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Views of the Report - The nickel and stainless steel markets are currently following the broader market in a volatile pattern, with no significant changes in the fundamentals recently. There are expectations of interest rate cuts within the year at the macro - level, and the progress of Sino - US tariffs repeatedly adjusts risk preferences [3]. - In the nickel ore sector, Indonesia has announced regulations for the 2026 quota application. The overall quota in 2025 is somewhat excessive, and the quota in 2026 is expected to decline under regulatory restrictions such as environmental reviews [3]. - The new energy sector is entering the peak season, with high downstream procurement demand. The current quotes have been rising for several consecutive weeks, the market circulation is tight, inventories are low, and there are still inquiries, which may remain strong [3]. - The price of ferronickel has insufficient upward momentum, and the overall center of gravity has significantly declined. It may operate weakly under the pressure of stainless - steel profits and weak demand. If ferronickel loses its support, the downward space for the downstream may expand [3]. - The spot trading of stainless steel has improved slightly, leading to a small rebound in the futures market. However, the sentiment of a lackluster peak season is strong. Currently, stainless steel has a large amount of inventory accumulation, and the upward momentum is insufficient compared with the previous continuous destocking cycle. The center of gravity of stainless steel may move down slightly, but export is favorable due to WTO rulings and certification exemptions [3][5]. 3.

Core Viewpoint - The coal price is expected to continue to rise due to low terminal inventory and increased winter storage demand from power plants, despite tight supply conditions influenced by regulatory scrutiny and maintenance on the Daqin Railway [2][3]. Supply and Demand Analysis - Coal supply is gradually recovering in production areas, but remains tight due to strict regulations and Daqin Railway maintenance. The cold weather in northern regions is leading to an expansion in heating coverage, which boosts the purchasing enthusiasm for winter storage by power plants, indicating a continued strong coal price outlook [1][2][3]. - In the coking coal sector, production increases are limited due to safety regulations and checks on overproduction, leading to pressure on the profits of downstream coking steel enterprises. There is resistance to high-priced coal types, but overall low inventory levels and winter storage needs suggest that coking coal prices will continue to fluctuate [1][2][3]. Market Performance - The equity market experienced a near-universal decline, but coal stocks significantly outperformed the indices. Uncertainties regarding US-China tariffs have increased market volatility. Following comments from Trump about tariffs on Chinese goods, there was a brief rally in US indices, while A-shares and Hong Kong stocks showed strong risk aversion, with banks and coal sectors attracting capital [2][3]. - The average trading volume in the market was 2.1 trillion yuan, with daily financing purchases fluctuating around 210 billion yuan, indicating a reduction in trading volume compared to the previous week [2]. Investment Recommendations - The company suggests continuing to focus on high-quality coal stocks with strong cash flow and high dividends, as these are likely to perform well in the current market environment [3].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report Tin - Supply remains tight with low processing fees and uncertain future supply from Myanmar. Demand is weak, especially in traditional sectors, despite some support from AI and photovoltaic industries. Short - term macro - economic factors may cause price fluctuations. Consider buying on dips due to strong supply - side factors. If Myanmar's supply recovers, prices may weaken; otherwise, prices may remain high and volatile [2]. Aluminum Alloy - Cost support is evident, but raw material supply is tight. Supply is restricted by raw material availability and policy uncertainty, while demand is gradually recovering. Inventory is starting to decline, but the absolute level is still high. ADC12 prices are expected to remain high and volatile in the short term [3]. Alumina - The market is in an oversupply situation. Spot prices are expected to remain under pressure, and the futures main contract may fluctuate between 2750 - 2950 yuan/ton. Key factors to watch include cost - profit changes and policies in resource - rich countries [4]. Aluminum - Macro - economic factors are favorable, providing support for aluminum prices. The fundamental situation is in a tight balance, with supply shortages in some areas and a mixed demand situation. High prices are suppressing downstream procurement. Aluminum prices are expected to remain high and volatile in the short term [4]. Nickel - Macro - economic uncertainties exist. The industry is facing pressure, with nickel - iron prices under stress and shrinking profits. Inventory is increasing, and stainless steel demand is weak. Nickel prices are expected to trade in a range, with the main contract reference range of 120000 - 126000 yuan/ton [5]. Stainless Steel - Macro - economic risks are increasing, and raw material prices are firm, providing cost support.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The given reports do not mention any industry investment ratings. 2. Report's Core Views Copper - Copper prices were volatile yesterday, with high prices suppressing demand. Macro - factors like the approaching China - US tariff extension deadline and the weak US employment report could drive short - term trading. The supply shortage of copper mines will support copper prices in the long - term. The main contract is expected to find support between 84,000 - 85,000 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum - The alumina market continued to be weak, and the aluminum market was in an oversupply situation. The spot price of aluminum is expected to remain under pressure, with the main contract oscillating between 2,750 - 2,950 yuan/ton. The Shanghai aluminum is expected to maintain a high - level oscillation between 20,700 - 21,300 yuan/ton, supported by macro - easing expectations and a tight - balance fundamentals, but high prices are suppressing downstream procurement [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The price of cast aluminum alloy futures oscillated, with the main contract slightly down. Cost support was prominent, but supply was restricted by raw material shortages and unclear policies. Demand was moderately recovering, and inventory was increasing, suppressing price increases. The ADC12 price is expected to maintain a high - level oscillation between 20,200 - 20,800 yuan/ton [4]. Zinc - Zinc prices oscillated, with pressure above. The supply - side logic of zinc has shifted from mines to zinc ingots. The increase in zinc ingot production is limited. Demand did not exceed expectations. The Shanghai zinc is expected to remain oscillating between 21,500 - 22,500 yuan/ton [7]. Tin - The supply of tin mines remained tight, while demand was weak. The short - term macro - volatility is expected to increase. Consider buying on dips due to macro - sentiment drops. The future trend of tin prices depends on the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter [9]. Nickel - The Shanghai nickel market oscillated narrowly. Macro - risks increased, and there were some positive factors in the mining end, but the supply is expected to be loose in the medium - term, restricting price increases. The main contract is expected to oscillate between 120,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton [11]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market oscillated weakly. Macro - risks increased, raw material prices were firm, but the peak - season demand was not met, and inventory pressure was high. The main contract is expected to oscillate between 12,400 - 12,800 yuan/ton [13]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate futures market oscillated. The supply - side situation was gradually becoming clear but with many uncertainties. Demand was robust, and the whole - chain inventory was decreasing. The short - term market is expected to oscillate, with the main contract price centered between 70,000 - 75,000 yuan/ton [17][19]. 3.
