Report's Core View - Overall non - ferrous metals: Weak US dollar and the fermentation of reverse invoicing issues are driving up the prices of basic metals. In the medium and short - term, prices are supported but the weak terminal demand limits the upside. In the long - term, potential domestic stimulus policies and supply disruptions support prices [1]. - Copper: Macro factors and supply disruptions support prices, and low inventory also provides support, but the US copper tariff is a negative factor [7]. - Alumina: The fundamentals are weak, with strong inventory accumulation trends, but short - term supply fluctuations and long - term mine disturbances need attention [9]. - Aluminum: Short - term macro sentiment is volatile, and the fundamentals are neutral.

Core Viewpoint - The recent appreciation of the Renminbi against the US dollar is primarily driven by a weakening dollar rather than a strong Chinese economy [2][3]. Group 1: Dollar Weakness - The US dollar has weakened due to changes in the global economic landscape, including long-term fiscal deficits and rising debt levels, with US debt surpassing $37 trillion and annual interest payments exceeding $1.2 trillion [2][3]. - Market expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, following disappointing employment data, have also contributed to the dollar's decline [3]. Group 2: Renminbi Appreciation - The Renminbi's appreciation against the dollar is not indicative of a robust Chinese economy but rather a response to the global trend of a weaker dollar [3][4]. - The People's Bank of China has increased the issuance of offshore central bank bills, which helps stabilize the exchange rate and attract foreign capital [3][4]. Group 3: Trade and Investment Implications - Despite the Renminbi's appreciation against the dollar, it has depreciated against a basket of currencies, which is beneficial for China's export competitiveness [5][6]. - The potential for continued Renminbi appreciation against the dollar depends on domestic stock market performance and the trajectory of the dollar [6][7]. - For Chinese investors, the appreciation of the Renminbi may reduce the returns on US dollar-denominated assets, making it a more favorable time to invest in such assets [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - In August, the risk appetite in the capital market increased, and the prices of risk assets generally rose. Overseas, the impact of tariffs in the US began to show, the disappointing non - farm payrolls data shocked the market, and the Fed's policy choices were difficult. The market generally expected a rate cut in September. Domestically, the "anti - involution" market cooled, but A - shares were strong, attracting funds, and the commodity futures market style reversed [5][75]. - The A - share market's strength is due to the change in domestic expectations. After the pessimistic expectations reversed last year, a large amount of funds flowed into the stock market. The emergence of DeepSeek and China's counter - measures in tariff negotiations strengthened market confidence [7][28]. - Weak dollar has become a relatively certain macro - factor. The rate - cut trading based on the weak dollar dominates the pricing of global risk assets [8][68]. Summary by Directory 1. Expected vs. Reality - The most notable macro - issue in August was the unexpectedly strong A - shares, which stemmed from the change in domestic expectations. Asset prices reflect investors' expectations more than the reality. The difference between macro - data and micro - feelings comes from the convergence of expectations and reality [13]. 2. US Stock "Bull" vs. Chinese Real Estate "Bear" - As core assets, the price trends of US stocks and Chinese real estate have significant wealth effects. In the past two years, the bullish US stocks and bearish Chinese real estate had opposite impacts on the two countries [16]. - In the US, the strong consumption of residents is related to the wealth effect of US stocks. In China, the real - estate slump led to residents' de - leveraging and consumption downgrade, while the stock - market strength accelerated the transfer of residents' deposits [17]. 3. Reasons for Expectation Reversal - In September 2024, the Fed started rate - cuts, and China's policy package turned the situation around. In January 2025, the emergence of DeepSeek led to the re - evaluation of Sino - US assets. In April 2025, China's counter - measures in tariff negotiations strengthened domestic confidence. In July 2025, the "anti - involution" trading dominated the domestic market [20]. 4. Underlying Logic of A - share Confidence Bull - Due to the asset shortage, along with the disillusionment of Western myths, technological breakthroughs, and cultural confidence, market confidence was boosted, expectations improved, and undervalued Chinese assets were re - evaluated. Investors adjusted their asset allocation, increasing risk assets [25]. - The strong performance of the stock market changed investors' psychology from scar effect to profit - making effect, leading to the transfer of residents' deposits from physical to financial assets [25]. 5. US 7 - month Non - farm Payrolls Data and Market Reaction - The US non - farm payrolls data in July was disappointing, with an increase of 73,000 in non - farm employment, far lower than the expected 110,000. The unemployment rate was 4.2%, and the U6 unemployment rate was 7.9%. The market reaction included a sharp decline in the dollar index, a jump in non - US currencies, a rise in gold prices, and a slight rebound in US stock index futures. Traders' expectation of a 25 - basis - point rate cut in September by the Fed increased from 45% to 75% [35][37]. 6. Trump's Intervention in the Fed - Trump removed Fed Governor Cook, and there were a series of personnel changes in the Fed. Trump's actions challenged the Fed's independence and may force the Fed to cut rates to respond to political pressure [38][39]. 7. Powell's Speech at Jackson Hole - Powell's speech signaled a possible rate cut. He pointed out that the US labor market was in a "fragile balance" with rising employment risks, economic growth slowed, inflation pressure existed, and the Fed's policy might be adjusted [41][43]. - The Fed revised its monetary policy framework, including abandoning the focus on the effective lower bound, the average inflation target system, and the "employment shortfall" wording, and emphasizing inflation expectation anchoring [59]. 8. Global Asset Performance - In August, global major stock markets mostly rose, the BDI increased slightly, the dollar fell, non - US currencies strengthened, and commodities rose more than they fell. Domestically, the A - share market was strong, and the commodity futures market style reversed [75]. 9. Domestic Futures Market Performance - In August, the domestic futures market showed a pattern of strong stocks, weak bonds, and a cooling commodity market. The four major stock indexes all rose, with the Shanghai 50 rising the least. Commodities showed mixed performance, with the Wind Commodity Index rising slightly [6][78]. 10. Commodity Index Trends - The "anti - involution" market cooled, and commodities fell from high levels. Historically, the probability of the South China Commodity Index rising in September is slightly higher, but the potential probability of a decline is also relatively high [80][83]. 11. Stock Index Performance - In August, the stock market continued to rise strongly, with all major stock indexes closing higher. The price - to - earnings ratio of the four major stock indexes increased, and the risk premium decreased, indicating an optimistic market sentiment [87]. 12. Global Economic Performance - The global economic sentiment recovered but was split. The JPMorgan Global Composite PMI rebounded, but the service and manufacturing sectors diverged. The ZEW economic sentiment index of major economies declined, while the consumer confidence index was generally strong [92]. - Inflation in major economies rebounded, with the US having a larger inflation amplitude. The inflation expectations in the bond market increased [103]. - The Fed and the Bank of Japan continued to shrink their balance sheets, the European Central Bank shifted from expanding to shrinking its balance sheet, and the People's Bank of China expanded its balance sheet again [105]. 13. US Economic Performance - The US economic sentiment cooled, inflation rebounded, the manufacturing PMI remained in the contraction range, employment was challenged, and consumer confidence was still low. The impact of tariffs on inflation began to show [111]. 14. Chinese Economic Performance - In July, China's manufacturing PMI and non - manufacturing business activity index declined, but the overall business activities of enterprises remained in the expansion range [116]. - M2 and M1 growth rates increased, and the growth rate difference between M2 and social financing and M2 and M1 both narrowed. The growth rate of RMB loans hit a new low, and the deposit - loan gap of financial institutions widened [119]. - The recovery of M1 growth is expected to drive the start of the credit cycle, with loose financial conditions, rising inter - bank certificate of deposit rates, and a rebound in DR007 [124]. - China's export growth remained resilient, but the pressure on external demand still existed. The export price profit margin turned negative, and the market's expectations for the economic prospects were contradictory [128][130]. - Real estate investment was dragged down, with the decline rates of multiple indicators accelerating, and the high - frequency housing sales data remained sluggish [132]. - Consumption growth declined significantly, travel data was split, and residents' income growth was weak [138]. - CPI remained flat, PPI continued to decline, and the macro - profit margin (CPI - PPI) decreased. The continuation of "anti - involution" may promote domestic re - inflation [142]. 15. Mid - level Industry Performance - Steel prices rose and then fell, with stable blast - furnace operating rates; oil prices declined with inventory reduction; copper prices fluctuated at high levels with inventory accumulation; and coking coal prices rebounded from the bottom [146][147]. - The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fluctuated narrowly at a historical high; domestic freight rates continued to decline, and the BDI fluctuated after an initial decline; and automobile production growth was stable [150].

Core Views of the Report - The market is influenced by the weak US dollar and tariff games, with base metals oscillating. In the short - to - medium term, the weak US dollar supports prices, but the weak demand expectation makes it uncertain whether the inventory will decrease in the peak season in September. In the long term, potential incremental stimulus policies in China and supply disturbances support base metal prices [1]. - For different metals, their prices are affected by various factors such as macro - policies, supply - demand relationships, and inventory changes. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1行情观点 3.1.1 Copper - Information: Powell's dovish speech increases the probability of a Fed rate cut in September. The consumer confidence index in the US declined in August. China's electrolytic copper production increased in July. The spot copper price had a certain premium, and the inventory increased slightly [5]. - Logic: The dovish Fed speech boosts copper prices. The supply of raw materials is tight, and the downstream demand is in the off - season, but the inventory accumulation is not obvious. Low inventory supports copper prices in the short term [5]. - Outlook: Copper may oscillate due to supply constraints, low inventory, weakening demand, and the impact of US tariffs [6]. 3.1.2 Alumina - Information: The spot price of alumina declined on August 28, and the warehouse receipt increased [6]. - Logic: The smelter's profit is good, the operating capacity is at a high level, the supply - demand balance shows an obvious surplus, and the inventory accumulation trend expands.

Some aluminum - related companies' performance in the first half of 2025 showed growth [8]. - Logic: The expectation of a US rate cut weakens the US dollar. The supply capacity is high, the demand is expected to improve as the peak season approaches, but the terminal consumption is not strong. The inventory accumulates, and the spot is at a discount. The price is expected to oscillate [9]. - Outlook: Oscillate in the short term, and the consumption and inventory accumulation need to be observed [9]. 3.1.4 Aluminum Alloy - Information: The price of ADC12 remained unchanged on August 28, the price of AOO aluminum declined, and the difference between them increased. The exchange adjusted the margin and price limit of cast aluminum alloy futures [9]. - Logic: The short - term supply - demand is weak. The cost is supported by the price of scrap aluminum. The supply side's production decreased, and the demand side's procurement is cautious. The factory inventory decreased, and the social inventory increased. Consider cross - variety arbitrage opportunities [10]. - Outlook: ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 will oscillate at a low level in the short term and may rise in the future [10]. 3.1.5 Zinc - Information: The spot zinc price had a discount on August 28, and the inventory increased [12]. - Logic: The macro - situation is neutral. The supply of zinc ore is loose, the smelter's profit is good, and the production willingness is strong. The demand is in the off - season, and the overall demand expectation is average. The price may oscillate at a high level in the short term and decline in the long term [12]. - Outlook: The zinc price will oscillate weakly in the long term, and the inventory may continue to accumulate in August [12]. 3.1.6 Lead - Information: The price of waste batteries and lead ingots declined on August 28, and the social inventory decreased slightly. The transportation was restricted, and some regenerative lead enterprises were under maintenance [13]. - Logic: The spot discount is stable, the supply of waste batteries decreases, the production of lead ingots decreases slightly, and the demand for lead - acid batteries increases slightly. The price is expected to oscillate [14]. - Outlook: The lead price will oscillate due to the increase in demand and the possible decrease in supply, but the incomplete recovery of the battery enterprise's operating rate also puts pressure on the price [14]. 3.1.7 Nickel - Information: The LME nickel inventory increased, and the domestic warehouse receipt decreased slightly. There were many events in the nickel industry, such as business sales and policy adjustments [16]. - Logic: The market sentiment dominates the market, the industrial fundamentals are weakening marginally, the supply of raw materials may be loose, the production of intermediate products recovers, the price of nickel salt weakens slightly, and the inventory accumulates.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating. However, for individual metals, the ratings include: - Copper: Expected to be in a "震荡" (oscillation) pattern [5][6] - Alumina: Expected to be "震荡偏弱" (oscillating weakly) [6] - Aluminum: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) range [8][9] - Aluminum Alloy: Expected to have short - term "震荡" (oscillation) and potential upward movement for ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 in the future [9][10] - Zinc: Expected to be "震荡偏弱" (oscillating weakly) in the medium - to - long term [13] - Lead: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) state [14][15][16] - Nickel: Expected to be "偏强" (strong) in the short term and "空头离场" (short - sellers exit) in the medium - to - long term [19] - Stainless Steel: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) range in the short term [21] - Tin: Expected to be in an "震荡" (oscillation) state, with potential increased volatility in August [22][23] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Macro - level**: Recent economic data are mixed. European investor and consumer confidence indices in August are weak, but US August existing - home sales and August Euro - US manufacturing PMI flash values are better than expected. Powell's dovish remarks at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting have kept the US dollar weak, which has boosted base metals to some extent. However, Trump's new "tariff stick" on August 26 has cooled investors' optimism, causing base metals to rise first and then fall [1]. - **Supply - demand level**: The reverse invoicing problem has tightened scrap supply, which has disrupted the supply side, but the terminal demand outlook is weak. In the short - to - medium term, the weak US dollar supports prices, but the demand outlook is weak. Whether the inventory will start to decline again in the peak season in September remains to be observed. It is recommended to be cautious about short - selling copper and zinc at high prices. In the long term, the expectation of potential incremental stimulus policies in China still exists, and supply disruptions in copper, aluminum, and tin still exist, with an expectation of tightening supply - demand, which supports base metal prices [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1行情观点 - **Copper**: Powell's dovish speech has increased the probability of a Fed rate cut in September, boosting copper prices. The supply of copper ore and raw materials is still tight, and the risk of smelter production cuts has increased. Currently in the off - season of downstream demand, the inventory accumulation is not obvious. It is expected that copper prices will be supported in the short term due to low inventory. In the future, copper may show an oscillating pattern [5][6]. - **Alumina**: The smelter's operating capacity has recovered to a high level, the supply - demand balance shows an obvious surplus, and the inventory accumulation trend has expanded. The fundamentals are relatively weak. The spot price has accelerated its decline, and the futures price has significantly decreased to repair the basis. It is expected to be oscillating and under pressure in the future [6]. - **Aluminum**: The short - term US rate cut expectation has increased, and the US dollar index is weak. The domestic policy is in a vacuum period. The supply side has new production capacity coming on stream, and the operating capacity and utilization rate are at a high level. The demand side has an increasing expectation of improved orders as the peak season approaches, but the terminal consumption has not strengthened significantly. The inventory accumulation rhythm has been unstable. It is expected that aluminum prices will be in an oscillating range [8][9]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: The short - term supply - demand is weak. The cost side is strongly supported as scrap aluminum follows aluminum ingots. The supply side's off - season production has continued to decline, and some recycling aluminum plants have reduced or stopped production. The demand side is still in a strong off - season atmosphere, and downstream procurement is weak. The factory inventory has continued to decline, and the social inventory has increased. The price is expected to be in an oscillating range in the short term, and there is an expectation of an upward movement in the future for ADC12 and ADC12 - A00 [9][10]. - **Zinc**: The macro - level is negative due to the decline in black - series prices, although Powell's speech has put pressure on the US dollar. The short - term zinc ore supply has become looser, and smelters' profitability is good, with strong production willingness. The demand is in the traditional off - season, and the demand outlook is average. In the short term, zinc prices may be in a high - level oscillation, and in the medium - to - long term, they are expected to decline [13]. - **Lead**: The spot discount has slightly narrowed, the supply has slightly tightened due to the reduction in production by some recycling lead plants and transportation restrictions, and the demand has rebounded as some battery factories have ended their high - temperature holidays. It is expected that there will be a slight shortage of supply - demand this week, and the price will be in an oscillating state [14][15][16]. - **Nickel**: The market sentiment dominates the market, and the industrial fundamentals are marginally weakening.
