Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The overall view on copper prices is bullish, and attention can be paid to the opportunity of long overseas and short domestic positions in the remaining time of the third quarter [1]. - For aluminum, short - term fundamentals are acceptable. Hold at low prices under the low - inventory pattern, and pay attention to far - month inter - month and long overseas and short domestic positions; in the long term, pay attention to actual demand as overseas supply is the main variable [2]. - For zinc, in the short term, it shows a pattern of strong overseas and weak domestic. It is recommended to wait and see and focus on the sustainability of commodity sentiment. Long overseas and short domestic positions can be continued to hold, and attention can be paid to the opportunity of inter - month long positions [3]. - For nickel, the short - term real - world fundamentals are average. The opportunity for the contraction of the nickel - stainless steel price ratio can continue to be monitored [8]. - For stainless steel, the fundamentals remain weak overall. In the short term, the macro - level follows the anti - involution expectations, and attention should be paid to the later policy direction [12]. - For lead, it is expected that battery manufacturers will replenish their stocks next week, and the center of lead prices will rise [13]. - For tin, in the short term, it is recommended to lightly short at high prices as there are both raw material supply disturbances and consumption decline expectations [14]. - For industrial silicon, in the short term, the supply - demand balance has been achieved in August, and it may turn to surplus if one of the southwest region or Hesheng reaches full production. In the long - term, it will oscillate at the bottom of the cycle [17]. - For lithium carbonate, in the short term, the price has a large upward elasticity. In the long - term, if the resource - end disturbance risk is resolved, it will still oscillate at a low level [19]. Summary by Metal Copper - In the first half of the week, copper prices were supported around 78,000 yuan, and downstream purchasing improved. In the second half of the week, with the decline of the US dollar index and low domestic refined - scrap spreads, copper prices were strong, attempting to break through 79,000 yuan on Friday night [1]. Aluminum - Supply increased slightly, with aluminum ingot imports providing an increment from January to May. August is a seasonal off - peak for demand, with weak aluminum product exports, a decline in the photovoltaic sector, and some downstream production cuts. Overseas demand declined significantly. In August, inventory is expected to continue to accumulate slightly [2]. Zinc - This week, zinc prices fluctuated widely. On the supply side, domestic TC has difficulty rising, while imported TC is rising slowly. In August, the increase in smelting production was further realized. On the demand side, domestic demand weakened seasonally, and most spot prices outside Shanghai turned to discounts. Overseas, European demand is average, but some smelters face production resistance due to processing fees. Domestic social inventory is rising, while overseas LME inventory is decreasing rapidly [3]. Nickel - On the supply side, pure nickel production remains at a high level. On the demand side, it is generally weak, and the premium has been stable recently. In terms of inventory, both domestic and overseas nickel plate inventories remain unchanged [8]. Stainless Steel - On the supply side, some steel mills have cut production passively, and some in the north are affected by the parade. On the demand side, it is mainly driven by rigid demand, and some restocking has increased due to the macro - environment. In terms of cost, the prices of nickel - iron and chrome - iron remain stable. In terms of inventory, inventories in Xijiao and Foshan have decreased slightly, and exchange warehouse receipts remain unchanged [12]. Lead - This week, lead prices declined. On the supply side, the scrap volume is weak year - on - year, and the supply of waste batteries is tight. The recycling rate of recycled lead remains low. On the demand side, the inventory of finished batteries is high, and the market's expectation of the peak season has fallen short of reality. The domestic social inventory is rising, and LME registered warehouse receipts have decreased [13]. Tin - This week, tin prices fluctuated widely. On the supply side, the processing fees at the mine end are low, and some domestic smelters are reducing production and entering the maintenance period. Overseas, there are signals of复产 in Wa State, but the recruitment is difficult. On the demand side, the elasticity of solder is limited, and the terminal electronics and photovoltaic sectors are expected to slow down. Domestic inventory is rising, while overseas LME inventory is at a low level, with a risk of short - squeezing [14]. Industrial Silicon - In the short term, the supply - demand balance has been achieved in August, and it may turn to surplus if one of the southwest region or Hesheng reaches full production. In the long - term, the over - capacity situation is still serious, and it will oscillate at the bottom of the cycle [17]. Lithium Carbonate - In the short term, due to resource - end compliance disturbances and the approaching downstream peak season, the price has a large upward elasticity. In the long - term, if the resource - end risk is resolved, it will still oscillate at a low level [19].

许可证续期失利,“宁王”江西锂矿停产
导语:据知情人士透露,宁德时代(CATL)已暂停位于江西省的一个重要锂矿的生产,暂停期至少为三个月。在业内人士看来,在行业产能过剩的背景 下,"宁王"大矿停产反而是利好。 近日,"全球动力电池龙头"宁德时代已在公司内部通报,位于江西省的梘下窝锂矿将临时停产。知情人士表示,停产的原因是公司未能成功续签已于8月 9日到期的矿业许可证。 锂行业近期受到现货市场、期货市场和股市极端波动的影响,其中梘下窝锂矿的运营尤其受到关注,原因是人们对其许可证续期的前景存在疑虑。 上周,交易员们用无人机飞越该矿区,希望了解目前的产出情况,预计该矿的产量将占全球锂矿产量的约3%。 第一位知情人士补充称,尽管公司仍在与政府部门谈判寻求许可证续期,但已为暂停生产数月的局面做好了准备。由于他们没有公开发言的授权,知情 人士要求保持匿名。 此次许可证问题和生产暂停的背景,是监管层正加大对多个行业产能过剩的管理力度,并加强对矿业运营的监管。然而,对于这个已经遭遇供应过剩困 扰超过两年的行业而言,供应链中这一重要环节的停产反而可能带来一定的利好。 宁德时代2024年电池矿产资源业务收入下滑了29%,这一降幅凸显了该公司在上游投资中所面临的挑战, ...
“反内卷”短期难以证伪长端利率下行并不顺畅
Hengtai Securities· 2025-08-11 14:35
Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The current overcapacity is mainly concentrated in the mid - and downstream sectors. In July, the rise in commodity futures prices did not significantly boost inflation, and the PPI remained at a low level. After the implementation of new US tariffs, the "rush to export" phenomenon subsided, putting pressure on external demand. Domestic demand took over from external demand, reversing the trend of the trade balance, and the trade surplus narrowed in July. The policy hedging in areas such as preschool education is still insufficient. Meanwhile, the "anti - involution" concept cannot be falsified in the short term, and the pricing of major asset classes is unlikely to return to the "deflation" narrative of the second quarter due to the total demand shock. If the yield decline is too large, consider taking profits gradually [1]. - The yield of the 10 - year treasury bond slightly declined to 1.69%, and the interest rate structure became steeper. On August 8, the central bank announced a 700 - billion - yuan outright reverse repurchase operation, indicating a loosening of liquidity. Although the interest rate has reached a peak in the short term, the decline of long - term interest rates is not smooth due to the disturbances in the stock market and commodity prices [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Domestic Market News - **Diplomatic Response**: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to questions about secondary oil tariffs. China conducts normal economic and energy cooperation with countries including Russia, which is legitimate [8]. - **Central Bank Operations**: The central bank carried out a 700 - billion - yuan outright reverse repurchase operation on August 8, 2025, with a term of 3 months. China's gold reserves increased by 600,000 ounces in July, marking the 9th consecutive month of increase [8]. - **Industrial and Financial Policies**: The State Council issued an opinion on gradually implementing free preschool education, exempting the tuition fees of children in the first year of public kindergartens from the 2025 autumn semester. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will guide the reduction of about 1 million breeding sows. Seven departments including the People's Bank of China jointly issued a guidance on financial support for new - type industrialization. The National Development and Reform Commission will accelerate the approval of new - type policy - based financial instruments, and government bond issuance is expected to speed up, which is expected to drive the recovery of infrastructure investment in the second half of the year [8][9]. - **Economic Data**: In July, the CPI increased by 0.4% month - on - month, up from a 0.1% decline in the previous month, and was flat year - on - year. The core CPI increased by 0.8% year - on - year. The PPI decreased by 0.2% month - on - month, with the decline narrowing by 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous month. China's trade surplus in July was $98.24 billion, down from $114.75 billion in the previous month [10]. - **Off - shore Market**: The RWA registration platform was officially launched in Hong Kong, and three Web3.0 standards were established [10]. Overseas Key Data and Events - **Interest Rate Expectations**: Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman expects three interest rate cuts this year [11]. - **Tariff Policies**: The US may impose additional tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. The EU will suspend tariff counter - measures against the US for 6 months [11].
宁德时代江西锂矿据报停产至少3个月
Ge Long Hui A P P· 2025-08-10 10:39
Core Viewpoint - CATL has announced an internal notice regarding the temporary suspension of the Jiangxi province's Jianxiawo lithium mine for at least three months, which is significant given its contribution to global lithium supply [1] Group 1: Company Impact - The suspension of the Jianxiawo lithium mine is expected to affect approximately 3% of global lithium production, highlighting the mine's importance in the supply chain [1] - CATL is facing issues with the renewal of the mining license, which was originally set to expire on August 9, indicating regulatory challenges [1] Group 2: Industry Context - The suspension comes at a time when the Chinese government is intensifying efforts to combat overcapacity in various industries and is enhancing regulations on mining operations [1] - This development could be seen as a positive for an industry that has been struggling with overcapacity for over two years, potentially leading to a tightening of supply [1]
