Research Views Copper - Overnight copper prices first declined and then rose, closing slightly higher. The divergence within the Fed and the Trump administration's interference with Fed policies may be a major market concern. Domestically, the central bank governor stated that there would be no short - term policy adjustments, and China is implementing a moderately loose monetary policy. LME copper inventories decreased by 2,275 tons to 145,375 tons, Comex inventories increased by 1,371 tons to 288,746 tons, and domestic refined copper social inventories decreased by 0.44 million tons to 14.45 million tons. Downstream demand is weak due to high prices and macro uncertainties. After the Fed's meeting, copper prices remain cautious due to potential market避险情绪 and overseas macro risks during the holiday [1]. Aluminum - Alumina, Shanghai aluminum, and aluminum alloy all trended weakly. Alumina plants' continuous resumption of production increases social inventory pressure, while domestic mines have not resumed production and ore shipments have decreased, causing ore inventories to decline. Although alumina is generally bearish, it has basically bottomed out. Aluminum ingots have not yet reached an actual de - stocking inflection point. As the double festivals approach, downstream industries are in the stocking stage, but the current outbound volume is at the lowest level in the past three years. Aluminum prices remain strong, scrap aluminum prices are firm, and the aluminum alloy market continues to trade at high levels [1][2]. Nickel - Overnight, LME nickel fell 0.46% and Shanghai nickel fell 0.19%. LME nickel inventories increased by 456 tons to 228,900 tons, and domestic SHFE nickel warrants decreased by 307 tons to 25,536 tons. Nickel ore prices are relatively stable. Stainless - steel weekly inventories decreased significantly, and the cost support from nickel - iron prices has strengthened, but supply has also increased. In the new - energy sector, ternary demand weakened slightly in September, and MHP supply may remain relatively tight due to cobalt policies. The combination of macro factors and rising nickel - iron and MHP prices may slightly lift the bottom of nickel prices, but inventories remain a resistance to price increases [2].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint The short - term and intraday view of Iron Ore 2601 is oscillating and bullish, while the medium - term view is oscillating. The market sentiment has warmed up, and with the pre - holiday restocking expectation, bullish factors support the high - level and bullish operation of ore prices. However, the demand resilience is weakening, and the supply is increasing. The fundamentals are difficult to continuously improve, and the upward driving force of high - valued ore prices is questionable. The subsequent trend is cautiously optimistic, and the performance of steel should be monitored [2][3]. 3. Summary by Related Content Variety Viewpoint Reference - For Iron Ore 2601, the short - term view is oscillating and bullish, the medium - term view is oscillating, and the intraday view is also oscillating and bullish. It is recommended to pay attention to the support at the MA5 line, and the core logic is that bullish factors are fermenting, leading to the bullish operation of ore prices [2]. Market Driving Logic - Market sentiment has warmed up, and the night - session ore price has risen again. The supply - demand pattern of iron ore continues to run smoothly. The terminal consumption of ore has increased, and with the approaching holiday restocking, the demand is good, providing strong support for ore prices. - The arrival of ore at domestic ports continues to decline, but the shipment of overseas miners has increased significantly on a month - on - month basis, reaching a new high for the single week of the year. According to the shipping schedule, the arrival of Australian and Brazilian ore will increase, and the supply of domestic ore has recovered, so the ore supply will increase. - Overall, although bullish factors support the high - level and bullish operation of ore prices, the demand resilience is weakening, and the supply is rising.
