Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The rhythm of the central bank's bond - buying is smoother than expected, but the resonance between the fundamentals and monetary policy may still push up the bond market [6]. - The monetary policy is gradually reaching more consensus on aggregate easing, and the intensification of monetary policy is entering the implementation stage as previously predicted [8]. - The bond market may still have upward momentum, and the yield curve may continue to steepen [8]. Summary According to the Directory 01 Logic and Strategy (P3 - 4) - The central bank's large - scale reverse - repurchase withdrawal led to a marginal convergence of capital prices after an initial loose period, with overall price stability. The central bank restarted bond - buying with a purchase of 20 billion yuan, the lowest level since the start of bond - buying and significantly lower than the 100 - 300 billion yuan level in 2024. The 70 billion yuan 3 - month repurchase in November was fully hedged [8][34]. - The symbolic significance of the central bank's bond - buying may be more positive than the actual scale, which is bearish. The central bank's small - scale bond - buying is mainly due to concerns about the sharp decline in bond yields during the previous bond - buying period [8][34]. - The weakening of foreign trade data is affected by both the holiday misalignment and the decline in external demand, and foreign trade pressure still exists. The macro - financial and economic data to be released next week may be weak, especially in the real estate sector [8]. - The monetary policy is expected to intensify, and the bond market may have upward momentum, with the curve likely to continue to steepen [8]. 02 Macro Main Asset Fund Flow Changes (P5 - 6) No relevant content provided. 03 Recent Macro Data Analysis and Review (P7 - 13) - **Domestic**: In October, trade data showed a significant year - on - year decline in export growth, turning negative and lower than expected. The decline in exports was due to short - term factors and structural pressures, including the high - base effect, holiday misalignment, and the impact of US tariff policies. The natural decline in foreign trade is a more concerning trend. Moderately loose monetary policy should be implemented [8][19]. - **Overseas**: Due to the US government shutdown, the labor department missed employment data for two consecutive months. ADP employment data and the significant increase in Challenger job - cuts point to a loosening US labor market. Although the ISM manufacturing PMI declined slightly, the service PMI rebounded, mainly driven by new orders and business activities. The US economy is still growing at a slower pace but remains resilient [8][19]. 04 Fundamentals Analysis and Bond Futures - Spot Indicator Monitoring (P14 - 24) - **Fundamentals**: The central bank's bond - buying and repurchase operations did not exceed expectations. The bond market declined slightly due to the weakening of bond - buying sentiment and the marginal convergence of the capital side. The weakening of foreign trade data and the upcoming release of potentially weak macro - financial and economic data may affect the bond market. The redemption fee rate of public funds still disturbs the bond market sentiment [8]. - **Indicator Monitoring**: Data on bond yields, reverse - repurchase operations, and various bond - related indicators such as bond futures prices, positions, and spreads are presented, showing the performance and changes in the bond market [43][47][94]. 05 Equity Broad - based Index Fundamentals, Liquidity, and Futures - Spot Indicator Monitoring (P25 - 31) - **Fundamentals**: Data on the ROE of major equity broad - based indices are presented, showing the relationship between the ROE of the Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Component Index, ChiNext Index, etc., and macro - economic data [96][99][101]. - **Liquidity and Futures - Spot Indicator Monitoring**: No relevant in - depth analysis content provided. 06 Macro - economic Medium - term Fundamental Tracking and Monitoring (P32 - 50) No relevant content provided. 07 Macro - economic Long - wave Fundamental Tracking and Monitoring (P51 - 52) No relevant content provided.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report In October, zinc prices declined and then rebounded. The industry's focus was on the short squeeze of LME zinc and domestic zinc smelting production cuts. The registered warehouse receipts of LME zinc ingots reached a new low in recent years, and the high LME zinc spread opened the domestic zinc ingot export window. With the decrease in imported zinc ore and the increase in domestic zinc smelting winter stockpiling demand, the zinc ore TC declined, and the zinc smelting profit decreased, leading to a slowdown in zinc ingot supply growth. The downstream demand remained generally stable, and the total domestic zinc ingot inventory gradually increased. The major short positions in the previous main contract of SHFE zinc significantly reduced, and some turned into net long positions. The registered warehouse receipts of LME zinc slightly increased, alleviating the overseas structural risk. Considering the recent macro - events and the positive sentiment in the commodity market, SHFE zinc is expected to be strong in the short term, but the upside space for zinc prices is limited during the surplus cycle [11]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Monthly Assessment - **Price Review**: In October, zinc prices declined and then rebounded. The LME zinc registered warehouse receipts hit a new low of 22,900 tons in recent years, and the high LME zinc spread opened the domestic zinc ingot export window. As of November 6, the SHFE zinc index rose 0.10% to 22,691 yuan/ton, with a total unilateral trading position of 225,700 lots. The LME zinc 3S fell 16 to $3,054.5/ton, with a total position of 228,600 lots. The average price of SMM 0 zinc ingot was 22,500 yuan/ton [11]. - **Domestic Structure**: The domestic social inventory slightly decreased to 158,700 tons, and the SHFE zinc futures inventory was 68,000 tons. The basis in Shanghai was - 55 yuan/ton, and the spread between the continuous contract and the first - month contract was - 45 yuan/ton. The LME zinc inventory was 34,000 tons, and the cancelled warehouse receipts were 4,300 tons. The basis of the cash - 3S contract was $98.23/ton, and the 3 - 15 spread was $53.2/ton. The ex - exchange rate SHFE - LME ratio was 1.046, and the zinc ingot import loss was 4,211.76 yuan/ton [11]. - **Industry Data**: The domestic TC of zinc concentrate was 2,850 yuan/metal ton, and the imported TC index was 103 dollars/dry ton.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Short - term macro - driving forces have weakened, steel mill profits are fragile, and production cuts are insufficient, especially the high supply - demand contradiction in the plate segment, which exerts pressure on iron ore demand. With supply remaining high, continuous port inventory accumulation, and the squeeze from the coking coal end, it is expected that the overall iron ore price will continue to show a weak - running trend [3][4][7]. - There are some positive factors, such as the rising basis and the long - term loose overseas monetary and fiscal policies. However, the negative factors dominate the current market situation [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - **Macro - level**: The PMI of both China and the US in October showed a month - on - month decline, indicating fluctuations in the global trade environment and a marginal slowdown in internal demand. Short - term market driving forces are on hold due to factors like Powell's hawkish stance and the risk of a US government shutdown, and risk appetite has declined [4]. - **Supply and inventory**: Port inventory has continued to accumulate to 15,624 tons, a month - on - month increase of 351 tons. The shipment volume remains at a high level, while the molten iron output is gradually decreasing, putting pressure on prices. The current high - price level encourages mainstream mines to maintain strong shipment willingness, and the port inventory accumulation pattern may continue [4][6]. - **Demand side**: The daily average molten iron output has decreased by 20,000 tons to 2.34 million tons. Some high - cost and severely loss - making steel mills have implemented marginal production cuts, and steel mill profits have slightly recovered but are still fragile. Further production cuts are needed to ease industrial chain contradictions [6]. - **Valuation level**: Coking coal remains strong, with a tight supply and low - inventory structure. The price difference between coking coal and iron ore in the 01 contract has continued to widen, squeezing steel mill profits and suppressing iron ore prices [7]. 3.1.2 Trading - type Strategy Recommendations Perform range - bound operations on the Iron Ore 2601 contract, with the range being [760, 810] [7]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations Provide risk management strategy recommendations for iron ore in November, including different scenarios, risk exposures, strategy recommendations, hedging tools, trading directions, hedging ratios, and recommended entry intervals [8]. 3.1.4 Core Data - **Black产业链成本利润表**: Data such as molten iron cost, blast furnace hot - rolled coil profit, blast furnace rebar profit, etc., show weekly and monthly changes [9]. - **Iron ore weekly shipment data**: Global, Australian, Brazilian, and other regions' shipment volumes show different degrees of changes [10][11]. - **Iron ore demand weekly data**: Indicators such as daily average port clearance volume, daily average molten iron output, blast furnace operating rate, etc., have corresponding changes [12]. - **Iron ore inventory weekly data**: Port inventory, trade ore proportion, and steel mill inventory data show changes in inventory status [13]. 3.2 Supply 3.2.1 Global Shipment Analysis Analyze the seasonality, year - on - year changes, and over - seasonality of global iron ore shipments through various charts [14][15][16]. 3.2.2 Four Major Mines Shipment Analysis Analyze the seasonality, year - on - year changes, and over - seasonality of shipments from the four major iron ore mines [17][18][19]. 3.2.3 Non - mainstream Ore Shipment Analysis Examine the seasonality, year - on - year changes, and over - seasonality of non - mainstream ore shipments, and note that the Platts iron ore index leads non - mainstream shipments by about 5 weeks [23][24][26]. 3.2.4 Arrival and Berthing Analysis Analyze the seasonality and year - on - year changes of the arrival volume at 47 ports, the number of ships in port, berthing days, and actual arrival volume [29][30][31]. 3.2.5 Capsize Shipping Analysis Examine the seasonality of freight prices for capsize ships on different routes, the proportion of iron ore freight, ship speed, and global weekly floating inventory [34][35][40]. 3.2.6 Domestic Ore Supply Analysis Analyze the seasonality and year - on - year changes of the daily average output of iron concentrate powder from domestic mines [41][42][45]. 3.3 Demand Analysis 3.3.1 Molten Iron Analysis Analyze the seasonality, over - seasonality, and year - on - year changes of the daily average molten iron output of 247 steel enterprises, and make predictions on blast furnace maintenance [46][47][49]. 3.3.2 Steel Mill Profit Analysis Analyze the relationship between molten iron output and iron ore prices, and the seasonality of various steel product profits and their leading effects on production [50][52][53]. 3.3.3 Downstream Steel Analysis - **Rebar**: Analyze the production, consumption, inventory, and cost of rebar [65][66][67]. - **Hot - rolled coil**: Examine the production, consumption, inventory, and price difference of hot - rolled coils [72][73][74]. - **Medium - thick plate**: Analyze the production, consumption, inventory, and inventory - to - sales ratio of medium - thick plates [75][77][78]. - **Other steel products**: Analyze the production, inventory, and apparent demand of various other steel products such as H - beams, angle steels, galvanized coils, etc. [81][82][85]. 3.3.4 Export Analysis Analyze the monthly export volume of steel products, port departure volume, export orders, and export profits [100][101][103]. 3.4 Inventory Analysis 3.4.1 Port Inventory Analysis Analyze the seasonality, structure, and over - seasonality of iron ore port inventory, as well as the relationship between inventory and prices [104][105][106]. 3.4.2 Other Inventory Analysis Examine the seasonality of trade ore inventory, steel mill inventory, and inventory turnover days [121][122][127]. 3.5 Valuation Analysis 3.5.1 Basis and Term Structure - Provide the iron ore warehouse receipt price table, showing the basis and delivery profit of different iron ore varieties [128]. - Analyze the seasonality of the basis of different iron ore contracts [129][130]. 3.5.2 Rebar - Iron Ore Ratio and Hot - rolled Coil - Iron Ore Ratio Analyze the seasonality of the rebar - iron ore ratio and hot - rolled coil - iron ore ratio of different contracts [131][132][135]. 3.5.3 Coking Coal Ratio Analysis Analyze the seasonality of the price difference between coking coal and iron ore of different contracts and the cost - sharing relationship between coking coal and iron ore [138][139][144]. 3.5.4 Scrap Steel Cost - effectiveness Analysis Analyze the iron - scrap price difference, scrap steel cost - effectiveness, and the relationship between scrap steel consumption ratio and iron - scrap price difference [145][146][147].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report Copper - Overseas liquidity is tight and the US dollar index is high, suppressing copper prices. After the interest rate cut and tariffs are implemented, the market may enter a macro "vacuum period" in November. The next macro nodes are likely to be the December FOMC meeting, the domestic Politburo meeting, and the Central Economic Work Conference. The long - term supply - demand contradiction supports the upward shift of the bottom center of copper prices, while short - term rapid increases may suppress demand [2]. Aluminum - Alumina prices are expected to continue weak and volatile. Aluminum prices are expected to face a game between event - driven factors and weak fundamentals in the short term. Attention should be paid to whether the 21,500 yuan/ton pressure level can be effectively broken through. If inventory accumulates, there is a risk of price correction to the 20,500 - 20,800 yuan/ton range [4]. Aluminum Alloy - The ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong and volatile trend under the dual effects of rigid cost support and a tight supply - demand balance. Key factors to monitor include scrap aluminum supply, procurement costs, and inventory reduction progress [5]. Zinc - Against the backdrop of concerns about a short squeeze in LME zinc, Shanghai zinc oscillated at a high level. In the short term, zinc prices are expected to be volatile and strong, but the fundamentals may limit the upward momentum. The key for upward breakthrough lies in better - than - expected demand and improved non - recessionary interest rate cut expectations, while downward breakthrough may occur if refined zinc inventory accumulates [7]. Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the demand is weak. Market sentiment has improved, and the fundamentals are strong. Low - position long orders can be held, and a strategy of buying on dips can be adopted. The follow - up focus is on macro changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter [8]. Nickel - The macro sentiment is weak, and the cost is still supported by firm ore prices. However, the overall fundamentals are dull, and the medium - term supply is expected to be loose, which restricts the upward space of prices. The price is expected to oscillate within a range, with the main contract reference range of 118,000 - 124,000 yuan/ton [10]. Stainless Steel - Policy and macro drivers are weakening, and the fundamental structure has not improved significantly. Supply - side pressure from steel mills' production schedules and social inventory remains, and demand is insufficient. The short - term price is expected to be weak and volatile, with the main contract reference range of 12,500 - 13,000 yuan/ton [12]. Lithium Carbonate - In the short term, strong fundamentals provide support for prices. However, the trading logic has shifted, and the current news and capital drivers are stronger than the fundamentals and valuation logic. Prices are expected to be volatile, with the main contract reference range of 78,000 - 82,000 yuan/ton [14]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings There is no information provided in the report about industry investment ratings. 2. Core Views Copper - Overseas liquidity is tight, and the strong US dollar index suppresses copper prices. The market may enter a macro "vacuum period" in November, and subsequent attention should be paid to the Fed's interest - rate cut rhythm and Sino - US tariff situation. - The shortage of copper ore supply remains unchanged. If the prices of by - products such as sulfuric acid continue to fall, there may be a phased reduction in smelting production. The psychological price ceiling of downstream users for copper is gradually rising. - In the long - term, the supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the copper price bottom. In the short - term, excessive price increases may inhibit demand. [2] Aluminum - The alumina market shows regional differentiation. The northern market shows signs of bottoming out, while the southern market continues to decline. The supply pressure has not been substantially relieved, and the demand side faces multiple pressures. - The recent rise in the aluminum price is mainly driven by events, with potential risks of short - term range corrections. Attention should be paid to the actual production progress of Indonesian electrolytic aluminum projects, the supply recovery progress of Guinean bauxite, and the inventory depletion rhythm. [4] Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy market followed the aluminum price to rise, but the downstream acceptance of high prices is limited, and the supply of scrap aluminum is short, leading to a contraction in industry supply. - The demand side shows a mild recovery, and the ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong and volatile trend under the dual effects of cost support and supply - demand balance. [5] Zinc - Against the background of concerns about LME zinc squeezing, the Shanghai zinc price oscillated at a high level. The supply is generally loose, but the subsequent increase in supply may be limited, and attention should be paid to the inflection point signal of supply changing from loose to tight. - The demand side has no unexpected performance. The low overseas inventory supports the zinc price, and the domestic zinc supply is relatively loose. The zinc price is expected to be volatile and strong in the short - term and may maintain a range - bound trend. [7] Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the improvement in supply is limited this year. The demand side is still weak, and although some consumption is driven by AI and the photovoltaic industry, it is difficult to make up for the decline in traditional consumption. - The market sentiment has improved, and the long - term low - position orders can be held. The follow - up should focus on macro changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar. [8] Nickel - The Shanghai nickel market oscillated and repaired slightly. The macro - market sentiment is weak, and attention should be paid to the 2026 RKAB approval in Indonesia. - The refined nickel production is still at a high level, with new projects put into production and some projects planning to reduce production. The nickel ore supply in the Philippines is affected by the rainy season, while that in Indonesia is relatively loose. The price of ferronickel is under pressure, and the overall fundamentals are flat, with the price expected to fluctuate within a range. [10] Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market oscillated narrowly, with weak market information. The macro - driving force is weakened, and the nickel ore supply in the Philippines is reduced, while that in Indonesia is relatively loose. - The ferronickel price is under pressure, and the chromium - iron market is weakly stable. The supply pressure remains, and the demand is not significantly boosted. The short - term price is expected to be weakly volatile. [12] Lithium Carbonate - The lithium - carbonate market was generally strong. The production increased slightly last week, mainly driven by lithium - spodumene and mica. The downstream demand is more optimistic than expected, but the news - side uncertainty and capital impact may put pressure on the price. - The price is expected to be volatile, with the main contract reference range of 78,000 - 82,000 yuan/ton. [14] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Copper Price and Basis - SMM 1 electrolytic copper price increased by 660 yuan/ton to 85,995 yuan/ton, with a daily increase of 0.77%. - The import profit and loss improved by 21.88 yuan/ton to - 500 yuan/ton.

Supported by macro - positive factors and fundamentals, copper prices are generally strong. In the short term, copper prices will fluctuate at a high level under the joint promotion of macro and fundamental factors. After the subsequent macro - sentiment is gradually digested and high copper prices drag down downstream demand, copper prices will enter a stage of oscillating correction. However, due to the tight supply of copper mines, the downside space for copper prices is limited [5][92] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - In October, copper prices rose significantly, with a monthly increase of 4.69%. As of October 31, the closing price of Shanghai copper was 87,010 yuan/ton. Macro - positive factors were released, and the fundamentals supported copper prices.
