Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - Tariff concerns persist, limiting the upside potential of base metals. Although Trump's tariff threat has a negative impact, the marginal negative effect is weakening. The potential incremental stimulus policies can partially offset the negative impact of the tariff policy. In the short - to medium - term, the supply - demand of base metals is expected to tighten, supporting prices. Long - term, there are still expectations of incremental stimulus policies and supply disturbances for copper, aluminum, and tin [3]. - Copper: Trade frictions lead to a short - term decline in copper prices.
