Report Overview - The report is a daily report on non-ferrous metals dated August 20, 2025, covering copper, aluminum, and nickel [3] Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report Core Views - **Copper**: Today, Shanghai copper maintained a volatile trend with a slight increase in open interest. The main contract price fluctuated above 78,500 yuan. Macroscopically, the continuous rebound of the overseas US dollar index is negative for copper prices. In the short term, the weakening domestic commodity atmosphere combined with the US dollar rebound may continue to put pressure on copper prices [5] - **Aluminum**: Today, Shanghai aluminum showed a relatively strong volatile trend with a continuous decline in open interest. Macroscopically, the domestic commodity atmosphere cooled. At the industrial level, the downstream is entering the peak season, and the inventory of aluminum rods has started to gradually decline. Technically, attention should be paid to the support at the 20,500 yuan mark [6] - **Nickel**: Today, Shanghai nickel showed a relatively weak volatile trend with a slight increase in open interest. The main contract price fell below the 120,000 yuan mark during the session and then stabilized and rebounded. Macroscopically, the long atmosphere in the domestic market cooled. At the industrial level, high inventories continue to put pressure on nickel prices. The resonance of macro and industrial negatives leads to the weak operation of nickel prices. Attention should be paid to the technical support at the 120,000 yuan mark [7] Industry Dynamics Copper - First Quantum Minerals has officially launched a $1.25 billion expansion project at its Kansanshi copper mine in Zambia, the largest copper investment project in the country in nearly a decade [9] Aluminum - According to customs data, in July 2025, the import volume of unforged aluminum alloy was 69,200 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 28.4% and a month-on-month decrease of 10.6%.

It is inclined that the resistance to trading above the copper market is significant, and short positions above 79,000 yuan should be held [1]. - The Shanghai aluminum market fluctuates narrowly. The peak of inventory accumulation in the off - season may be approaching, and the inventory is likely to be at a low level this year. It is mainly in short - term shock, with resistance at 21,000 yuan [2]. - In the first half of 2025, the zinc ore output of major overseas mining enterprises increased by more than 12% year - on - year. The demand off - season is obvious. The zinc market is dominated by the fundamentals of increasing supply and weak demand. It is necessary to be vigilant against the repeated macro - sentiment [3]. - The consumption peak season of aluminum is not prosperous, but the cost side has strong support for the price. It is advisable to hold long positions at 16,600 yuan/ton and pay attention to the opportunity of the last trading days of call options [5]. - The stainless - steel social inventory has decreased for 6 consecutive weeks, but the downstream acceptance of high - price stainless - steel is still poor. The Shanghai nickel is in the middle and late stage of the rebound, and short positions should be actively intervened [6]. - The Shanghai tin rose in the afternoon session and regained the MA40 moving average. The low overseas inventory and spot premium support the London tin [7]. - The lithium carbonate futures price fluctuates, and the market trading is active. The short - term long - position thinking should be adopted, and risk control should be done well [8]. - The industrial silicon futures fluctuate downward. The main contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 8,500 - 9,000 yuan/ton [9]. - The polysilicon futures closed down in shock. There is an opportunity to go long near 50,000 yuan/ton, but there is still resistance above 53,000 yuan/ton [10]. Summaries by Related Catalogs Copper - On Tuesday, Shanghai copper reduced its positions and continued to fluctuate in a narrow range. Technically, pay attention to the support toughness of the MA60 moving average. The domestic spot copper is 79,100 yuan, and the Shanghai premium slightly shrinks to 195 yuan [1]. Aluminum & Alumina & Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum fluctuates narrowly, with a spot discount of 20 yuan in East China. At the beginning of the week, the social inventory of aluminum ingots increased by 19,000 tons compared with Thursday, and the aluminum rods decreased by 6,000 tons. The downstream start - up is stable [2]. - The operating capacity of alumina is at a historical high, and the industry inventory and SHFE warehouse receipts are both rising. Supply surplus is gradually emerging, and the spot index in various places is falling [2]. Zinc - In 2025H1, the zinc ore output of major overseas mining enterprises increased by more than 12% year - on - year. The demand off - season is obvious. The zinc market is dominated by the fundamentals of increasing supply and weak demand [3]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - This week, the stainless - steel social inventory has decreased for 6 consecutive weeks, but the downstream acceptance of high - price stainless - steel is still poor. The supply is expected to increase, and there is still some uncertainty in the market [6]. Tin - Shanghai tin fluctuated and rose in the afternoon session, regaining the MA40 moving average. Indonesia's refined tin exports in July were 3,792 tons, a 15% month - on - month decrease [7]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate futures price fluctuates, and the market trading is active. The total market inventory is basically stable at 142,000 tons [8]. Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon futures fluctuate downward. During the wet season, the supply and demand of industrial silicon both increase, and the improvement of the fundamentals is limited [9]. Polysilicon - The polysilicon futures closed down in shock. The terminal and downstream demand is stable, while the polysilicon production schedule has increased significantly, and the high - inventory pattern suppresses the spot quotation [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the macro - sentiment continued to show a rise in risk appetite. Although domestic economic and financial data were poor, the stock market sentiment remained high. In the copper market, downstream orders had support around 7.8, and the spot market was active. The domestic tax subsidy policy for scrap copper might be restricted, and attention should be paid to the stimulation of refined copper consumption. In August, a small - scale inventory build - up was expected, but the market might focus on the tight - balance pattern after the off - season [1]. - For aluminum, supply increased slightly, and August was a seasonal off - season for demand, with a possible slight improvement in the middle and late August. Aluminum exports improved month - on - month, while photovoltaic demand declined, and overseas demand dropped significantly. An inventory build - up was expected in August. Attention should be paid to demand in the short - term and far - month spreads and internal - external reverse arbitrage in the low - inventory pattern [3]. - The zinc price fluctuated widely this week. On the supply side, domestic TC was hard to rise, and imported TC increased. In August, the increase in smelting production was further realized. On the demand side, domestic demand was seasonally weak but had some resilience, and overseas European demand was average. There might be a phased supply shortage. Domestically, social inventory rose, and overseas LME inventory decreased rapidly. Short - term, it was recommended to wait and see; medium - and long - term, a short - position configuration was suggested. Internal - external positive arbitrage could be held, and attention could be paid to positive arbitrage opportunities in spreads [6]. - In the nickel market, pure nickel production remained at a high level, demand was weak, and domestic and overseas nickel plate inventories remained stable. The short - term fundamental situation was average, and the macro - environment was mainly about anti - involution policy games. Opportunities for narrowing the nickel - stainless steel price ratio could be continuously monitored [7]. - For stainless steel, some steel mills cut production passively, and demand was mainly for rigid needs, with some inventory replenishment due to the macro - environment. Nickel - iron and chrome - iron prices remained stable, and inventories in Xijiao and Foshan decreased slightly. The fundamental situation was weak, and attention should be paid to future policy trends [10]. - The lead price fluctuated this week. On the supply side, scrap volume was weak year - on - year, and recycled lead production was low due to tight scrap batteries and low profits. On the demand side, battery inventory was high, and the market was not prosperous in the peak season. Although there was an improvement in orders in July - August, terminal consumption and lead ingot procurement were weak. It was expected that the lead price would remain in a low - level fluctuation next week [11][13]. - The tin price fluctuated widely this week. On the supply side, domestic smelting production might decline slightly in July - August, and overseas, there were signals of复产 in Wa State, but the specific quantity needed to be observed. On the demand side, solder demand was limited, and terminal electronic and photovoltaic growth was expected to decline. Domestic inventory increased, and overseas LME inventory was low with a risk of short - squeeze. Short - term, it was recommended to short lightly at high prices; medium - and long - term, hold at low prices near the cost line [15]. - In the industrial silicon market, the start - up rate of Xinjiang's leading enterprises was 59, and the resumption of production was less than expected. Sichuan and Yunnan's start - up rates increased slightly. In August, there was a small - scale inventory reduction. In the short - term, if either Southwest or Hesheng reached full production, the market would turn to oversupply. In the long - term, the industrial silicon capacity was still in large - scale surplus, and the price was expected to fluctuate at the cycle bottom [16]. - The lithium carbonate market was strong this week due to factors such as inventory reduction data and the expected impact of CITIC Guoan's start - up. Upstream lithium salt producers were willing to sell, downstream procurement was mainly for rigid needs with stronger inventory - replenishment intention, and trading among traders was more active. The core contradiction was the long - term over - capacity and short - term resource - end compliance disturbances. In the short - term, the lithium carbonate price had high upward elasticity and strong downward support [17].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Copper: ★☆☆ [1] - Aluminum: ★☆★ [1] - Alumina: ★☆☆ [1] - Cast Aluminum Alloy: Not clearly rated [1] - Zinc: ☆☆☆ [1] - Nickel and Stainless Steel: ★☆☆ (implied from context) [1] - Tin: ★★★ (implied from context) [1] - Lithium Carbonate: ★☆☆ [1] - Industrial Silicon: ☆☆☆ [1] - Polysilicon: ☆☆☆ [1] Core Views - The prices of various non - ferrous metals are affected by different factors such as supply - demand relationships, macroeconomic data, and policy expectations. Each metal has its own short - term and medium - term trends and investment suggestions [2][3][4] Summary by Metal Copper - Friday saw Shanghai copper oscillating with a positive line, supported by medium - term moving averages. The spot copper price dropped to 79,180 yuan. The market is concerned about US retail sales and industrial output data. It is believed that there is significant resistance above the copper price, and short positions at high levels should be held [2] Aluminum & Alumina & Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum rebounded slightly today, with the East China spot at par. The social inventory of aluminum ingots increased slightly by 0.1 million tons, while that of aluminum rods decreased by 0.9 million tons. The start - up of downstream leading enterprises stabilized. The peak of off - season inventory accumulation for aluminum ingots may occur in August, and the inventory is likely to remain low this year. Shanghai aluminum will mainly oscillate in the short term, with resistance at 21,000 yuan. Cast aluminum alloy fluctuates with Shanghai aluminum. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and the profit of the aluminum alloy industry is poor but has certain resilience. The spot - AL cross - variety spread may gradually narrow. The operating capacity of alumina is at a historical high, and both industry inventory and SHFE warehouse receipts are rising. As supply surplus becomes more apparent, the spot index in various regions is falling, and there is adjustment pressure on the alumina futures [3] Zinc - LME zinc inventory continued to decline to 77,500 tons, with the 0 - 3 month spread close to par. The low inventory in the outer market supports the price. Short - position funds are continuously reducing their positions, and LME zinc is expected to oscillate strongly. The import window remains closed, and the outer market is pulling up the inner market. The domestic Shanghai zinc has fully priced in the weak reality and weak expectations, and the term structure has flattened. There is a lack of resonance between macro sentiment and fundamentals, and short - term directional signals are insufficient. The supply of mines at home and abroad continues to increase, and there is still room to short mine profits on the futures. The idea of short - allocating on rebounds in the medium term remains unchanged, waiting for short - selling opportunities above 23,500 yuan/ton [4] Aluminum (Second entry) - LME aluminum inventory is at a high level, and the outer market is dominated by surplus, oscillating weakly. The import window remains closed. As the delivery approaches, the SMM social inventory of aluminum has increased to 71,700 tons. Recently, the futures - spot spread has narrowed, and the profit from delivering to the warehouse is insufficient. The subsequent domestic lead ingot inventory may become invisible, and the growth space of the visible social inventory in the future is expected to be limited. The aluminum price is oscillating at a low level, and there is reluctance to sell recycled aluminum. The SMM precision price is inverted by 25 yuan/ton. There is limited downward space for lead. Downstream purchasing on dips has improved, but the terminal consumption has not recovered. There is potential demand in the data center UPS power and energy storage sectors. It is advisable to hold long positions near 16,600 yuan/ton. At the same time, there are still 10 days until the expiration of near - month options, and opportunities in the last - trading - day options can be considered [6] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel rebounded, and the market trading was active. The domestic anti - dumping theme is coming to an end, and nickel with relatively poor fundamentals will return to its fundamentals. The premium for Jinchuan nickel is 2350 yuan, the premium for imported nickel is 350 yuan, and the premium for electrowon nickel is 50 yuan. The price of high - nickel ferro - nickel is 921 yuan per nickel point, and the upstream price support has weakened recently. In terms of inventory, the ferro - nickel inventory remains basically unchanged at 33,000 tons, the pure nickel inventory has decreased by 1000 tons to 39,000 tons, and the stainless steel inventory has decreased by 1000 tons to 966,000 tons, but the overall inventory level is still high. Pay attention to signs of the end of de - stocking. Shanghai nickel is in a rebound and should be regarded as oscillating [7] Tin - Shanghai tin recovered part of its decline and closed above the MA40 daily average line. A small amount of LME tin inventory flowed in this week, and its persistence should be tracked. In the domestic market, pay attention to the maintenance and production plans of large factories. It is believed that there is room to reduce the high social inventory in the domestic market. Today, the spot tin is reported at 266,000 yuan, and there is still a real - time premium of 700 yuan on the last trading day. Short - term long positions at low levels should be held based on the MA60 daily average line [8] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate strengthened at the end of the session, and the market trading was active. The delivery problem in September restricts the upward space. The spot price is reported at 83,000 yuan. Downstream inquiry activities are active, and the spot market transaction has improved. The total market inventory has slightly declined to 142,000 tons, the smelter inventory has decreased by 3000 tons to 52,000 tons, the downstream inventory has increased by 3000 tons to 46,000 tons, and the trader inventory has decreased by 1000 tons to 44,000 tons. The transfer of cargo rights is obvious, and downstream enterprises are increasing their replenishment efforts as the price回调. The latest quotation of Australian ore is nearly 1000 US dollars. The futures price fluctuates greatly, and risk management should be noted [9] Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon futures closed slightly higher, turning positive at the end of the session due to the sentiment transmission from polysilicon. On the spot side, the price of Xinjiang 421 silicon remained stable at 9050 yuan/ton (SMM), down 100 yuan/ton. Under the background of increased production by large factories in Xinjiang and in Sichuan and Yunnan, there is still pressure from high - level hedging on the futures. However, SMM expects the polysilicon production schedule to exceed 130,000 tons, with a clear marginal increase in demand. Coupled with the expectation of photovoltaic policies, the support below the futures is strong, and it will mainly oscillate in the short term [10] Polysilicon - The polysilicon futures increased significantly in position and rose. The expectation of a photovoltaic conference next week is rising, and the sentiment of policy benefits is fermenting again. At the same time, some terminals have begun to accept the component price of 0.68 yuan/W. However, it should be noted that under the expectation of a structural decline in terminal demand in September, the component price and price will still be under pressure. In the polysilicon segment, the production in August is expected to increase significantly to 130,000 tons, and the high - inventory pattern still restricts the upward space of its price. In operation, short - term news related to the photovoltaic conference has a significant impact on sentiment. The current futures is close to the previous high. Long positions can consider partial profit - taking, and at the same time, pay attention to position control and the performance at the resistance level of 53,000 yuan/ton [11]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Copper: Overnight copper showed narrow - range fluctuations. Macro - factors include market attention on US trade negotiation results and recession concerns from US economic data. Fundamentally, there are still differences in views on the future of US copper. Excessive inventory in the US may lead to continuous weakness in US copper, causing inventory relocation risks and impacting global copper prices. The approaching "Golden September" peak season in China provides some price support, and the probability of a sharp short - term decline is low. Currently, copper maintains a relative balance between bulls and bears, waiting for external factors to break the situation [1]. - Aluminum: Alumina fluctuated strongly, while沪铝 and aluminum alloy fluctuated weakly. In August, the profits in the aluminum industry shifted from upstream to downstream. Alumina's复产 rhythm increases the expectation of oversupply, with callback pressure but limited deep - decline space due to short - term cost support. The signing of an aluminum cooperation agreement between India and Russia raises the expectation of US tariff increases on the two countries, increasing trade cost concerns. As "Golden September" approaches, the stocking in the white - goods and automotive sectors starts in advance. The supply - demand of electrolytic aluminum shows signs of change, with the spot price changing from premium to discount. Aluminum prices are in a stage of "time for space" with an expectation of continued recovery. Aluminum alloy is in a tug - of - war between cost and demand, waiting for the peak - season guidance [1][2]. - Nickel: Overnight, LME nickel rose 1.39% and沪镍 rose 0.66%. LME inventory decreased, while domestic SHFE仓单 increased. The raw material prices of stainless steel showed differentiation, and the stainless - steel inventory decreased for four consecutive weeks with a slightly slower de - stocking speed. The overall fundamentals changed little and remained in a volatile state [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Research Views - **Copper**: Overnight narrow - range fluctuations. Macro - factors and US copper inventory issues impact the market. The approaching peak season in China provides support, and the price is in a balanced state [1]. - **Aluminum**: Different products in the aluminum industry showed different trends. There are changes in industry profits, trade cost concerns, and supply - demand signs. Aluminum alloy is in a cost - demand tug - of - war [1][2]. - **Nickel**: Overnight price increases, changes in inventory, and stable fundamentals with a volatile trend [2]. 3.2 Daily Data Monitoring - **Copper**: Price changes in various copper products, inventory changes in different locations, and changes in other indicators such as LME0 - 3 premium and CIF提单 [3]. - **Lead**: Stable average price, changes in升贴水 and沪铅 spreads, and changes in lead - related prices and inventory [3]. - **Aluminum**: Price changes in aluminum products, raw materials, and downstream products. Inventory changes in different locations and升贴水 changes [4]. - **Nickel**: Price changes in nickel products, raw materials, and stainless - steel products. Inventory changes in different locations and升贴水 changes [4]. - **Zinc**: Price changes, including主力结算价, LmeS3, and现货 prices. Inventory changes and升贴水 changes [5]. - **Tin**: Price changes, including主力结算价, LmeS3, and现货 prices. Inventory changes and升贴水 changes [5]. 3.3 Chart Analysis - **3.3.1 Spot升贴水**: Charts show the spot升贴 water trends of copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, lead, and tin from 2019 - 2025 [7][9][12]. - **3.3.2 SHFE Near - Far Month Spread**: Charts show the near - far month spreads of copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, lead, and tin from 2020 - 2025 [15][17][19]. - **3.3.3 LME Inventory**: Charts show the LME inventory trends of copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, lead, and tin from 2019 - 2025 [21][23][25]. - **3.3.4 SHFE Inventory**: Charts show the SHFE inventory trends of copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, lead, and tin from 2019 - 2025 [28][30][32]. - **3.3.5 Social Inventory**: Charts show the social inventory trends of copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, stainless steel, and 300 - series from 2019 - 2025 [34][36][38]. - **3.3.6 Smelting Profit**: Charts show the copper concentrate index,粗铜加工费, aluminum smelting profit, nickel - iron smelting cost, zinc smelting profit, and stainless - steel 304 smelting profit rate from 2019 - 2025 [41][43][45]. 3.4 Team Introduction - The research team includes Zhan Dapeng, a senior researcher with rich experience and multiple awards; Wang Heng, who focuses on aluminum - silicon research; and Zhu Xi, who focuses on lithium - nickel research [48][49].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Copper: ★☆☆ (One star, indicating a bias towards a certain direction but limited operability on the trading floor) [1] - Aluminum: ★★★ (Three stars, representing a clearer multi/short trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Alumina: ★★★ [1] - Cast Aluminum Alloy: ★★★ [1] - Zinc: ☆☆☆ (White star, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term multi/short trend and poor operability on the trading floor, for observation only) [1] - Lead: ☆☆☆ [1] - Nickel and Stainless Steel: ★☆☆ [1] - Tin: ★★☆ [1] - Lithium Carbonate: ★★★ [1] - Industrial Silicon: ★★★ [1] - Polysilicon: ☆☆☆ [1] Core Views - The market shows different trends and investment opportunities for various non - ferrous metals. For each metal, factors such as macro - economy, supply - demand relationship, and inventory levels are considered to make investment suggestions [1][2][3] Summary by Metals Copper - Friday saw Shanghai copper continue to show a fluctuating positive line. The current copper price is 78,530 yuan, with a premium of 120 yuan in Shanghai and a discount of 40 yuan in Guangdong. The copper market trading is dull, and it has basically been operating near the MA60 moving average this week. The market is not strongly affected by the new round of US tariffs and mainly tracks macro - economic indicators. The number of initial jobless claims in the US soared last week. Hold previous short positions [1] Aluminum & Alumina & Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum fluctuates in a narrow range, and the spot discount in East China remains at 50 yuan. Consumption is in the off - season recently, but the output of aluminum rods has increased month - on - month. The peak of aluminum ingot social inventory may appear in August. Shanghai aluminum will mainly fluctuate in the short term, with resistance at 21,000 yuan. Cast aluminum alloy follows the fluctuations of Shanghai aluminum, and the Baotai spot quotation remains flat at 19,800 yuan. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and the profit of the aluminum alloy industry is poor, but it has certain toughness relative to the aluminum price. Pay attention to the possible narrowing of the spread between the spot and AL. The operating capacity of alumina is at a historical high, the total industry inventory has increased, and the balance is in a surplus state. The price of bauxite in Guinea is firm during the rainy season, corresponding to a cost of 3000 - 3100 yuan in Shanxi and Henan in China. Alumina is under pressure to fluctuate, but the downward space is also relatively limited [2] Zinc - The expiration date of the main contract falls in the "Golden September and Silver October" period. The expectations of domestic fiscal policy and the Fed's interest rate cut are relatively positive, and there is insufficient resonance between the macro - situation and the fundamental situation of increasing supply and weak demand. The weighted position of Shanghai zinc has dropped to 209,000 lots, and the capital congestion has significantly declined. Fundamentally, it is strong overseas and weak at home. The rebound of LME zinc drives the domestic market, but the downstream's willingness to take delivery at high prices is insufficient. The zinc price rebound is regarded as under pressure. Wait for the opportunity to short - allocate above 23,500 yuan/ton [3] Lead - The lead price fluctuates at a low level, and the capital trading is relatively light. It is difficult to purchase waste batteries at low prices, and the recycled lead producers are reluctant to sell due to losses. The refined - scrap price difference is 25 yuan/ton. The downstream's willingness to take delivery is poor, and the rigid demand tends to purchase primary lead with higher cost - effectiveness. There are limited short - term contradictions in the lead market. The overall supply of lead ingots in August is expected to increase month - on - month. Some primary lead smelters have regular maintenance plans from the end of August to the beginning of September. The peak - season consumption still needs to be verified by social inventory. Wait for the evolution of contradictions. Shanghai lead is expected to fluctuate in the range of 16,600 - 17,500 yuan/ton [5] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel rebounds, and the market trading is active. As the domestic anti - involution theme comes to an end, nickel with relatively poor fundamentals will accelerate its return to fundamentals. The premium of Jinchuan nickel is 2350 yuan, the premium of imported nickel is 350 yuan, and the premium of electrowon nickel is 50 yuan. The price of high - nickel iron is quoted at 915.6 yuan per nickel point, and the upstream price support has significantly weakened recently. In terms of inventory, the nickel - iron inventory remains basically flat at 33,000 tons, the pure nickel inventory has decreased by 1000 tons to 39,000 tons, and the stainless - steel inventory has decreased by 1000 tons to 966,000 tons, but the overall level is still high. Pay attention to the signs of the end of de - stocking. Shanghai nickel is in the middle - to - late stage of the rebound, and actively intervene in short positions [6] Tin - Shanghai tin fluctuates and closes with a negative line at 268,000 yuan, and the current tin price is reported at 268,000 yuan, with a real - time premium of 170 yuan over the delivery month. The overseas tin price is supported by low visible inventory and the decline in Indonesia's production in the first half of the year. In China, pay attention to the changes in high social inventory under the game between the major smelters' maintenance plans and weak consumption. Observe or choose the opportunity for short - term long positions [7] Lithium Carbonate - The futures price of lithium carbonate rebounds with increasing volume, and the market trading is active. The price structure shows weakness in the near - term contracts, and the spot price is quoted at 72,000 yuan. The downstream's inquiry behavior is active, and the spot market trading has improved. The total market inventory has slightly decreased to 142,000 tons, the smelter inventory has decreased by 3000 tons to 52,000 tons, the downstream inventory has increased by 3000 tons to 46,000 tons, and the trader inventory has decreased by 1000 tons to 44,000 tons. The transfer of cargo rights is obvious, and the downstream has increased the intensity of replenishment during the price correction. The latest quotation of Australian ore is 745 US dollars, which has significantly followed the decline of the lithium carbonate price. The smelting output has decreased by 8% week - on - week. After the significant rebound of the lithium carbonate futures price, the game value has decreased. Look for high - level short - selling positions [8] Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon closes slightly higher, and the spot - end manufacturers' quotations remain stable. Currently, the market supply pressure is still significant. It is expected that the output in August will increase by 21,700 - 31,700 tons month - on - month. Among them, the operating rates in Sichuan and Yunnan are continuously increasing, and large - scale factories in Xinjiang also have复产 arrangements. Although both polysilicon and organic silicon downstream have production - increasing expectations, the expected increment is still less than that of industrial silicon. There are still policy expectations, and combined with the large decline in the previous disk, it is expected to fluctuate in the short term [9] Polysilicon - The polysilicon futures touched above 49,000 yuan/ton during the day and then rebounded, closing in the positive territory at the end of the session. In the spot market, the average price of polysilicon multi - product feedstock remains stable at 47,000 yuan/ton (SMM). The upward pressure is large, the downstream component price has decreased, and the terminal still resists high prices. Overall, there are still policy expectations, the spot price increase has slowed down, and the trend may maintain range - bound fluctuations [10]
