1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views Copper - Overseas market liquidity is tightening, and the US dollar index is strong, suppressing copper prices. In the long - term, the supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the copper price bottom, but short - term rapid increases may inhibit demand. The subsequent focus is on demand changes and overseas liquidity, with the main contract supported at 84000 - 85000 [1]. Aluminum - Alumina prices are expected to remain weakly volatile, with the main contract ranging from 2750 - 2900 yuan/ton. Aluminum prices will fluctuate between event - driven factors and weak fundamentals in the short term, and there is a risk of correction if inventories continue to accumulate [4]. Aluminum Alloy - The ADC12 price is expected to maintain a relatively strong volatile trend, with the main contract ranging from 20400 - 21000 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to scrap aluminum supply, procurement costs, and inventory reduction [6]. Zinc - Against the background of concerns about LME zinc squeezing, Shanghai zinc oscillated at a high level. In the short term, zinc prices will be oscillating and relatively strong, but the fundamentals may limit the upward space, with the main contract ranging from 22300 - 23000 [8]. Tin - Tin supply is tight, and demand is weak. With a strong fundamental outlook, a strategy of buying on dips is recommended. Future trends depend on macro - level changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar [11]. Nickel - Macro sentiment is stable, and cost has some support, but the overall fundamentals are flat. In the medium - term, the supply is expected to be loose, restricting the upward space of prices. The main contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 118000 - 126000 [13]. Stainless Steel - Policy and macro - level driving forces are weakening, and the fundamentals have not improved significantly. The short - term market is expected to be weakly volatile, with the main contract ranging from 12500 - 13000 [15]. Lithium Carbonate - The short - term strong fundamentals support the price, but the trading logic has switched recently. The price is expected to be weakly adjusted, with the main contract ranging from 76000 - 82000 [17]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The macro - outlook is repeatedly but relatively stable, and aluminum ingots are steadily making up for lost ground. In the medium - to - short - term, supply disruptions continue to support the prices of base metals, but macro support has weakened, leading to base metals rising and then falling. With the copper - aluminum ratio remaining above 4, opportunities for aluminum ingots to make up for lost ground can be continuously focused on. In the long - term, there are still expectations of potential incremental stimulus policies in China, and supply disruptions in copper, aluminum, and tin still exist, with expectations of tightening supply - demand [2]. - For individual metals: - Copper: After the Fed's rate cut, copper prices are operating at a high level and are expected to be volatile and moderately strong [8][9]. - Alumina: The current fundamentals are still in surplus, and alumina prices are under pressure and fluctuating [9]. - Aluminum: The macro environment remains positive, and aluminum prices are rising with fluctuations [12][13]. - Aluminum alloy: Scrap aluminum remains in short supply, and the market is fluctuating and moderately strong [14][15]. - Zinc: The accumulation of social inventory has significantly slowed down, and zinc prices have rebounded slightly [17]. - Lead: Social inventory remains at a low level, and lead prices are fluctuating [18]. - Nickel: LME nickel inventory continues to increase, and nickel prices are fluctuating [20][21]. - Stainless steel: Nickel - iron prices are falling, and the stainless - steel market is operating weakly [21][22]. - Tin: Raw material supply is tight, and tin prices are fluctuating at a high level [23]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Outlook Copper - **Viewpoint**: After the Fed's rate cut, copper prices are operating at a high level, with a medium - term outlook of being volatile and moderately strong [8]. - **Analysis**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points on October 29. In September, SMM China's electrolytic copper production decreased by 5.05 tons month - on - month, a 4.31% decline, and increased by 11.62% year - on - year. As of November 3, SMM's national mainstream copper inventory increased by 1.75 tons to 20.01 tons. On October 30, Sino - US leaders met and agreed to strengthen cooperation in various fields [8]. - **Logic**: The Fed's rate cut has been implemented, and Powell's remarks are slightly hawkish, leading to short - term adjustments in copper prices. On the supply - demand side, copper mine supply disruptions are increasing, and the cost and difficulty of scrap copper recycling have risen, causing a decline in electrolytic copper production. On the demand side, the peak demand season has arrived, but inventory reduction is not obvious, and high prices are suppressing demand [9]. Alumina - **Viewpoint**: The current fundamentals are still in surplus, and alumina prices are under pressure and fluctuating [9]. - **Analysis**: On November 3, the comprehensive price of alumina in the north remained flat at 2840 yuan, and the national weighted index decreased by 8.8 yuan to 2862.4 yuan. Affected by environmental control, a large - scale alumina enterprise in Hebei plans to shut down 2 roasting furnaces for maintenance from 18:00 on November 3 and resume on November 8 [9][10]. - **Logic**: Recently, macro sentiment has amplified market fluctuations. On the fundamental side, high - cost production capacity has fluctuated, but supply contraction is not obvious, and the domestic market is still in a strong inventory - accumulation trend. However, as the valuation enters a low - level range, price fluctuations may increase [10][11]. Aluminum - **Viewpoint**: The macro environment remains positive, and aluminum prices are rising with fluctuations, with a medium - term outlook of the price center continuing to move up [12][13]. - **Analysis**: On November 3, the average price of SMM AOO aluminum was 21440 yuan/ton, an increase of 160 yuan/ton. The domestic mainstream consumption area's aluminum rod inventory remained unchanged at 13.80 tons, and the electrolytic aluminum ingot inventory increased by 0.1 tons to 62.7 tons. The Fed cut interest rates as expected and will stop reducing the balance sheet from December 1. Sino - US leaders reached a consensus on tariff suspension [12]. - **Logic**: The macro environment remains positive. On the supply side, domestic operating capacity and the start - up rate are at a high level, while overseas supply has continuous marginal disruptions. On the demand side, the traditional peak season has passed, terminal demand is stable, and social inventory reduction has slowed down. The copper - aluminum ratio is above 4, and the valuation of aluminum is relatively low [13]. Aluminum Alloy - **Viewpoint**: Scrap aluminum remains in short supply, and the market is fluctuating and moderately strong in the short - term, with a medium - term outlook of price fluctuations [14][15]. - **Analysis**: On November 3, the price of Baotai ADC12 was 21000 yuan/ton, an increase of 100 yuan/ton. It is estimated that the retail market scale of narrow - sense passenger cars in October will reach about 2.2 million units, a 2% month - on - month decline [14][15]. - **Logic**: On the cost side, the shortage of scrap aluminum supply is difficult to change in the short - term. On the supply side, the weekly start - up rate has slightly increased, but some alloy plants face the risk of production reduction or suspension. On the demand side, there is marginal improvement, and automobile sales are resilient [15]. Zinc - **Viewpoint**: The accumulation of social inventory has significantly slowed down, and zinc prices have rebounded slightly, with a medium - to - long - term outlook of price decline [17]. - **Analysis**: On November 3, the spot price of Shanghai 0 zinc was at a discount of 30 yuan/ton to the main contract. As of November 3, the total inventory of SMM's seven - region zinc ingots was 16.17 tons, an increase of 0.02 tons from last Thursday. A new earthquake occurred at the Xantho Extended ore body of the Golden Grove mine in Western Australia, and the company withdrew its full - year zinc production guidance [17]. - **Logic**: The Sino - US economic and trade relationship shows a缓和 signal, and the 15th Five - Year Plan is becoming clearer. On the supply side, the short - term supply of zinc ore has become looser, and smelters' profitability is good, with high production enthusiasm. On the demand side, domestic consumption is entering the off - season, and demand expectations are average [17]. Lead - **Viewpoint**: Social inventory remains at a low level, and lead prices are fluctuating moderately strong [18]. - **Analysis**: On November 3, the price of scrap electric vehicle batteries was 10025 yuan/ton, and the original - recycled price difference was 75 yuan/ton. The average price of SMM 1 lead ingots was 17225 yuan, and the social inventory of lead ingots in major domestic markets was 3.02 tons, an increase of 0.03 tons from last Thursday. In November, the maintenance and resumption of production of primary lead and recycled lead enterprises are concurrent, and lead ingot inventory may increase [18]. - **Logic**: On the spot side, the spot premium and the original - recycled price difference are stable. On the supply side, the price of scrap batteries is stable, and the production of recycled lead smelters is increasing, while the production of primary lead smelters is decreasing. On the demand side, although some lead - acid battery factories have temporarily reduced production, the overall start - up rate is high [18]. Nickel - **Viewpoint**: LME nickel inventory continues to increase, and nickel prices are fluctuating [20][21]. - **Analysis**: On November 2, LME nickel inventory was 252750 tons, an increase of 648 tons from the previous trading day. Asian Battery Metals Company is actively exploring its copper - nickel and copper - gold project portfolio in Mongolia. Rongbai Technology has achieved ten - ton - level shipments of high - nickel and ultra - high - nickel all - solid - state cathode materials [20]. - **Logic**: Market sentiment still dominates the market, and the industrial fundamentals are marginally weakening. The supply of nickel ore is relatively loose, and the production of intermediate products has recovered. The market is in a state of excess, and inventory is accumulating [21]. Stainless Steel - **Viewpoint**: Nickel - iron prices are falling, and the stainless - steel market is operating weakly, with an outlook of range - bound fluctuations [21][22]. - **Analysis**: The latest stainless - steel futures warehouse receipt inventory is 73482 tons, a decrease of 175 tons from the previous trading day. The average price of SMM's 10 - 12% high - nickel pig iron decreased by 1.5 yuan/nickel point. In October, stainless - steel production continued to increase, and social inventory slightly increased [21][22]. - **Logic**: Nickel - iron and chromium prices are falling, and the cost support for steel prices is weakening. Although production has increased, downstream demand's acceptance of price increases is limited, and inventory may continue to accumulate during the off - season [22][23]. Tin - **Viewpoint**: Raw material supply is tight, and tin prices are fluctuating at a high level [23]. - **Analysis**: On November 3, LME tin warehouse receipt inventory increased by 130 tons to 2830 tons, and Shanghai tin warehouse receipt inventory increased by 56 tons to 5730 tons. The average price of Shanghai Non - ferrous Metals Network's 1 tin ingot was 285400 yuan/ton, an increase of 1000 yuan/ton from the previous day [23]. - **Logic**: Supply constraints in the tin market still exist, and the bottom support for tin prices is strengthening. In Wa State, production may be delayed, and in Indonesia, the supply of refined tin is expected to be tight. However, the resumption of production by Yunxi has led to an increase in the start - up rate of refined tin, and inventory reduction has slowed down, limiting the upward space for tin prices [23]. 2. Market Monitoring - **Commodity Index**: On November 3, 2025, the comprehensive index of CITIC Futures commodities increased by 0.10% to 2250.33, the commodity 20 index increased by 0.02% to 2546.82, the industrial products index increased by 0.09% to 2237.50, and the PPI commodity index increased by 0.15% to 1352.44 [146]. - **Sector Index**: On November 3, 2025, the non - ferrous metals index increased by 0.50% to 2494.27, with a 0.57% increase in the past 5 days, a 3.38% increase in the past month, and an 8.06% increase since the beginning of the year [147].

It is expected to be in a high - level shock in the medium term [1]. - For rubber, although the overall shipment pressure remains high in November and the utilization rate of production capacity is restricted, the low inventory and low warehouse receipts in China provide medium - term support, and the downward space of rubber prices may be limited [2]. - Steel prices may fluctuate weakly in the short term due to the digestion of macro - positive news, the low - level operation of the real estate market, the end of the traditional peak demand season, and the expected reduction of blast furnace hot metal production [4]. - The coke spot market is running strongly. Although the coking profit is under pressure and the steel mill's production is restricted, the hot metal is expected to rebound after a short - term decline, and the third round of price increase has started [5]. - For silicon iron, the high cost and high steel output support the price, but the loose supply - demand relationship restricts the upward space [6]. - The economic downward pressure increases, and the bond market is expected to be slightly bullish in the medium term due to factors such as the need for counter - cyclical adjustment and the possible open - market operation of government bonds [6]. - For silver, the short - term is in a shock, and it is still bullish in the long term due to the increasing economic downward pressure in the US and the increasing demand for counter - cyclical interest rate cuts [7]. - For rapeseed meal, the rigid shortage of supply and low inventory of coastal oil mills reduce the risk of price decline, and it is recommended to go long at low prices [8]. - Palm oil is expected to run weakly in the short term due to the significant increase in Malaysian palm oil production in October and the expected inventory accumulation [8]. - The price of live pigs is expected to adjust weakly in the near future due to the increase in supply and insufficient demand growth [9]. - Methanol is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term, with the upper pressure at 2160, and it is recommended to wait and see [10]. - PX should be treated with a shock perspective. Although the load of Asian and domestic PX will remain at a relatively high level and the PXN processing fee is under pressure, the stable crude oil provides support for the lower price [11]. - Crude oil prices have stabilized, but there is still supply pressure in the remaining period of the year, and the price may be in a shock state. Only when the geopolitical conflict intensifies can the price center rise [13]. - Polypropylene is expected to run in a shock in the short term, with the upper pressure at 6590, and it is recommended to hold short positions cautiously [13]. - Soda ash is expected to run in a shock in the short term, with the upper pressure at 1205, and it is recommended to wait and see [14]. 3. Summary by Commodity Metals - **Gold**: The divergence within the Fed makes the December interest rate cut uncertain. Sino - US relations ease, and gold may迎来 a major cycle inflection point. It is expected to be in a high - level shock in the medium term [1]. - **Silver**: The US economic downward pressure increases, which is bearish for silver in the short term, but the increasing demand for counter - cyclical interest rate cuts is bullish in the long term. It is in a shock - bullish state with limited downward space [7]. - **Steel (including rebar)**: Steel prices may fluctuate weakly in the short term due to factors such as the digestion of macro - positive news, the low - level operation of the real estate market, and the expected reduction of blast furnace hot metal production [4]. - **Coke**: The coke spot market is running strongly. The third round of price increase has started, and the futures price is expected to be stable [5]. - **Silicon Iron**: The high cost and high steel output support the price, but the loose supply - demand relationship restricts the upward space [6]. Agricultural Products - **Rapeseed Meal**: The rigid shortage of supply and low inventory of coastal oil mills reduce the risk of price decline. It is recommended to go long at low prices and pay attention to Sino - Canadian trade policies [8]. - **Palm Oil**: Malaysian palm oil production increased significantly in October, and it is expected to accumulate inventory. The domestic market is weak in the short term [8]. - **Live Pigs**: The price is expected to adjust weakly in the near future due to the increase in supply and insufficient demand growth [9].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Stocks**: Short - term oscillation, short - term cautious long positions [2][3] - **Treasury Bonds**: Short - term oscillation and rebound, cautious long positions [2] - **Black Metals**: Short - term oscillation, short - term cautious long positions [2] - **Non - ferrous Metals**: Short - term oscillation, short - term cautious long positions [2] - **Energy and Chemicals**: Short - term oscillation, cautious long positions [2] - **Precious Metals**: Short - term high - level correction, cautious wait - and - see [2] 2. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, the US economic data shows signs of cooling, but the market has doubts about the Fed's further interest rate cuts this year, leading to a stronger US dollar and a decline in global risk appetite. Domestically, the manufacturing prosperity level in October declined, and economic growth slowed down, but the policy stimulus expectation increased after the Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee. The recent market trading logic focuses on domestic incremental stimulus policies and the quality of economic growth, with the short - term upward macro - drive weakening [2][3]. - Different asset classes have different trends and investment suggestions. For example, stocks are expected to oscillate in the short term, precious metals are in a short - term high - level correction, and various commodities have different trends and investment strategies based on their fundamentals [2][3]. 3. Summaries by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro - finance - **Macro**: Overseas, the US ISM manufacturing PMI in October dropped to 48.7%, with weak demand, employment, and cooling inflation. The US job market shows signs of cooling, and corporate lay - offs this year have reached a new high since 2020. The US dollar index has strengthened, and global risk appetite has declined. Domestically, China's manufacturing prosperity level in October declined, and economic growth slowed down. Policy stimulus expectations increased after the Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee. The short - term macro - upward drive has weakened, and attention should be paid to domestic economic growth and the implementation of incremental policies [2]. - **Stocks**: Driven by sectors such as film and television theaters, short - drama games, and oil and gas, the domestic stock market rose. The manufacturing prosperity level in October declined, and economic growth slowed down, but policy stimulus expectations increased. The short - term macro - upward drive has weakened, and short - term cautious long positions are recommended [3]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Short - term oscillation and rebound, cautious long positions [2]. - **Precious Metals**: The precious metals market declined slightly on Monday night. The market is waiting for US private - sector employment data to assess the possibility of the Fed's further interest rate cuts this year. Short - term oscillation, long - term upward trend remains unchanged. Short - term wait - and - see, long - term buy on dips [3]. 3.2 Black Metals - **Steel**: The steel spot and futures markets declined slightly on Monday, and trading volume remained low. Real - world demand improved marginally in late October, and speculative demand also increased. Supply decreased due to losses in some varieties and environmental protection restrictions. The short - term steel market is expected to return to fundamentals and oscillate within a range [4][5]. - **Iron Ore**: The spot and futures prices of iron ore declined more on Monday. With the narrowing of steel mill profits and the upgrading of environmental protection restrictions, pig iron production continued to decline, and steel mill ore inventories decreased. The global iron ore arrival volume increased significantly this week, and port inventories continued to rise. Iron ore prices are expected to decline further [5]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: The spot price of silicon iron declined slightly, and that of silicon manganese remained flat on Monday, with the futures prices oscillating. The production of five major steel products increased slightly, and the demand for ferroalloys was fair. The prices of silicon manganese and silicon iron are expected to continue to oscillate within a range [6]. - **Soda Ash**: The main contract of soda ash oscillated within a range on Monday. Supply increased this week, and there are capacity expansion plans in the fourth quarter, with supply remaining loose. Demand remained stable. In the long - term, supply - side contradictions will drag down prices, and a bearish view is recommended [7]. - **Glass**: The main contract of glass opened high and closed low on Monday, affected by news from Shahe. Supply remained stable, demand was weak year - on - year, and inventory was relatively high. With the support of anti - involution policies, glass is expected to oscillate in the short term, and attention should be paid to the demand during the year - end completion peak [7]. 3.3 Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: Multiple Fed officials oppose interest rate cuts. US copper inventories are at a historical high, which restricts future import demand. There is a possibility of the Panama copper mine restarting. Domestically, refined copper de - stocking is less than expected. The shutdown of Indonesia's second - largest copper mine will support futures prices, and short - term high - level oscillation is expected [8][9]. - **Aluminum**: On Monday, Shanghai aluminum rose sharply to a one - year high. There is no clear news, and the rise may be due to the repair of the copper - aluminum price ratio and concerns about supply after overseas smelter accidents. The current rise has deviated from fundamentals, and attention should be paid to risks. LME aluminum inventories increased last Friday, and domestic aluminum social inventories de - stocked slowly [9]. - **Tin**: The smelting start - up rate increased significantly and then decreased slightly, remaining at a high level. Supply is expected to increase. Demand is weak, and high prices suppress physical demand. However, due to previous low inventories, some downstream enterprises replenished stocks, and inventories decreased. Tin prices are expected to oscillate at a high level in the medium and short term [10]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The main contract of lithium carbonate declined on Monday. The current supply and demand are both strong, and social inventories are de - stocking rapidly. There was a rumor of the resumption of production in Jiangxi, which led to a decline in the weighted contract. It is recommended to hold a light position and wait for the "emotional bottom" [11]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The main contract of industrial silicon declined on Monday. Demand is relatively stable, and social inventories are slightly increasing at a high level. Supported by the cash - flow cost of large enterprises and the rising coal price, the market is expected to oscillate strongly [11]. - **Polysilicon**: The main contract of polysilicon rose on Monday. With strong policy expectations and weak reality in a stalemate, the spot price of polysilicon is supported, but terminal demand is weak. Affected by the rumor of polysilicon storage and the resonance of the photovoltaic sector, it is expected to oscillate in a high - level range, and buy on dips [12][13]. 3.4 Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The market is weighing OPEC+'s plan to suspend production increases next quarter. There are concerns about oversupply next year. The short - term upward space is limited, and attention should be paid to window trading [14]. - **Asphalt**: The cost support of asphalt weakened, and the basis narrowed. There is a slight inventory accumulation pressure, and it is approaching the demand off - season. Although the profit is slightly increasing, the supply pressure will increase later. Attention should be paid to the rebound space of crude oil under geopolitical risks [14]. - **PX**: Crude oil price rebound slowed down, and PX oscillated. PTA's high start - up rate provides some demand support. PX remains in a tight supply situation, and short - term price changes are mainly driven by crude oil costs [15]. - **PTA**: Downstream start - up increased slightly, and winter weaving demand increased. However, the supply remains high, and there is a large inventory accumulation pressure in November [15]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Port inventories accumulated again, and the downstream start - up is neutral. There is a large inventory accumulation pressure in November, and the price is testing the previous low support with limited rebound drive [15]. - **Short - fiber**: Short - fiber oscillates with the polyester sector in the short term, but the later pressure is large. Terminal orders are seasonally declining, and inventory is accumulating. It is recommended to go short on rallies in the medium term [16]. - **Methanol**: The methanol market shows regional differentiation. Port inventories are slightly decreasing, while inland inventories are accumulating. In the short term, the market sentiment is bearish, but the downward space is limited, and it is expected to oscillate later [17]. - **PP**: The supply growth rate of PP is higher than the demand recovery rate, and the inventory is relatively high. However, demand shows marginal improvement, and the rebound of crude oil prices supports the cost. It is expected to oscillate weakly in the short term [17]. - **LLDPE**: The core contradiction in the polyethylene market is the increasing supply pressure. Demand is expected to decline after the peak in early November, and the cost support is weak. The price is expected to continue to be under pressure [17]. - **Urea**: Urea supply is expected to increase, and demand is weak. Agricultural demand is approaching the end, and industrial demand is weak. Export is expected to remain at a low level [18]. 3.5 Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The CBOT soybean futures rose overnight. Sino - US agricultural trade is expected to improve, and the USDA may raise the export forecast. If the yield per unit decreases, the US soybean ending inventory will shrink, strengthening the cost - recovery logic [19]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The pressure of concentrated soybean arrivals in China is increasing, and soybean meal supply is sufficient. The repair of Sino - US agricultural trade relations may lead to higher import costs and potential inventory accumulation of soybean meal. Rapeseed meal prices rose, and the spread between soybean and rapeseed meal is expected to narrow [19][20]. - **Palm Oil**: Palm oil has entered a technically oversold stage. Although there is short - term supply disturbance, it has entered the production - reduction cycle, and the seasonal de - stocking trend remains unchanged. It is running weakly in China [21]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: Soybean oil is adjusting weakly. The supply is strong, but it is relatively resistant to decline due to the increase in import costs. Rapeseed oil inventory is high, but rapeseed inventory is low, and the base price is supported by trade concerns [22]. - **Corn**: The pressure of wet corn sales has weakened, and the spot price is stable. The futures price is running weakly, but the bottom - range market may provide support [22]. - **Hogs**: The overall slaughter volume of pig groups is expected to increase in November. The breeding profit is in the red, and the pig price is unlikely to rebound significantly before the winter solstice bacon - curing consumption peak in December [22].
