The reopening of the US government may boost market sentiment again. In the industry, the non - accident area of the Grasberg copper mine in Indonesia has resumed production, but the stricter environmental inspections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have kept the copper supply tight. With no significant increase in scrap copper substitution, refined copper supply is expected to tighten marginally, providing strong support for copper prices. The reference operating range for the SHFE copper main contract is 85,400 - 86,600 yuan/ton, and for the LME 3M copper is $10,600 - 10,850/ton [3] Group 3: Aluminum Market Information - Aluminum prices continued to be strong.

Domestic inventory remains low overall. Against the backdrop of expected easing of global trade tensions and the implementation of the Fed's interest rate cut, supply - side disruptions and improved domestic export expectations may push aluminum prices higher. Attention should be paid to the support of domestic inventory changes on prices. The reference operating range for the SHFE aluminum main contract is 21,400 - 21,700 yuan/ton, and for the LME 3M aluminum is $2,830 - 2,890/ton [6] Group 4: Lead Market Information - On Friday, the SHFE lead index fell 0.05% to 17,429 yuan/ton, with a total open interest of 120,300 lots in unilateral trading.

According to Steel Union data, domestic social inventory increased slightly to 32,100 tons [8] Strategy View - The lead concentrate TC continued to decline, the smelting profit of primary and recycled lead was good, the primary lead production start - up rate remained high, and the recycled lead production start - up rate continued to rise. The downstream battery enterprise start - up rate was still at a low level, and the domestic social inventory of lead ingots bottomed out and rebounded but remained at a relatively low level. LME lead inventory continued to decline, and the inter - month spread strengthened. Both domestic and foreign deliverable products were in a state of inventory decline, and the marginal shortage at the near end pushed lead prices to be strong. Currently, the long positions in SHFE lead are relatively concentrated, and it is expected that SHFE lead will fluctuate strongly in the short term [9] Group 5: Zinc Market Information - On Friday, the SHFE zinc index rose 0.20% to 22,737 yuan/ton, with a total open interest of 226,900 lots in unilateral trading. As of 15:00 on Friday, LME 3S zinc rose $1 to $3,055.5/ton, with a total open interest of 225,600 lots. The average price of SMM 0 zinc ingots was 22,640 yuan/ton, the Shanghai basis was - 50 yuan/ton, the Tianjin basis was - 90 yuan/ton, the Guangdong basis was - 90 yuan/ton, and the Shanghai - Guangdong spread was 40 yuan/ton. The SHFE zinc ingot futures inventory was 69,300 tons, the domestic Shanghai - area basis was - 50 yuan/ton, and the spread between consecutive contracts and the first - month contract was - 60 yuan/ton. The LME zinc ingot inventory was 34,100 tons, and the LME zinc ingot cancelled warrant was 4,500 tons. The foreign cash - 3S contract basis was $104.75/ton, and the 3 - 15 spread was $51.5/ton. After excluding exchange rates, the SHFE - LME price ratio was 1.047, and the zinc ingot import profit and loss was - 4,221.66 yuan/ton. According to Shanghai Non - ferrous Metals data, domestic social inventory decreased slightly to 158,700 tons [10] Strategy View - The zinc concentrate TC continued to decline, the zinc smelting profit was under pressure, and the start - up rate decreased marginally. The accumulation of domestic zinc ingot social inventory slowed down. The large short positions in the previous SHFE zinc main contract reduced significantly, and some became net long positions. The LME registered warrants increased slightly, and the overseas structural risk eased. The decline in zinc smelting start - up and partial zinc ingot exports tightened the spot market marginally, pushing SHFE zinc to be strong in the short term, but the upside space of zinc prices is relatively limited in the surplus cycle [11] Group 6: Tin Market Information - On November 7, 2025, the SHFE tin main contract closed at 283,510 yuan/ton, up 0.08% from the previous day. In terms of supply, after the seasonal maintenance of large smelters in Yunnan ended, the start - up rates of tin smelters in Yunnan and Jiangxi provinces stabilized, but the overall start - up level was still at a historical low due to the unresolved shortage of tin ore raw materials. Although the mining license in the Wa State of Myanmar has been approved, affected by the rainy season and slow actual resumption of production, the tin ore export volume is still far below the normal level and cannot effectively make up for the supply gap. According to customs data, in September 2025, China's imported tin concentrate physical volume was 8,714 tons, a significant decline from the previous month. In terms of demand, although the consumption in traditional fields such as consumer electronics and tinplate was weak, the long - term demand expectations from emerging fields such as new energy vehicles and AI servers supported tin prices. In October, the start - up rate of domestic tin solder enterprises showed a slight recovery, and downstream enterprises mainly replenished inventory on price dips [12] Strategy View - In the short term, the tin supply and demand are in a tight balance, and the price is expected to fluctuate. It is recommended to go long on price dips. The reference operating range for the domestic main contract is 270,000 - 295,000 yuan/ton, and for overseas LME tin is $35,500 - 37,500/ton [13] Group 7: Nickel Market Information - On Friday, nickel prices fluctuated narrowly at a low level. At 3 pm, the SHFE nickel main contract closed at 119,440 yuan/ton, down 0.26% from the previous day. In the spot market, the premium and discount of each brand remained stable. The average premium of Russian nickel to the near - month contract was 400 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day, and the premium of Jinchuan nickel was 2,700 yuan/ton, up 100 yuan/ton from the previous day. In terms of cost, the overall trading atmosphere in the nickel ore market was good this week, and nickel ore prices were stable with a slight upward trend. The arrival price of 1.6% - grade Indonesian domestic red - laterite nickel ore was $52.8/wet ton, unchanged from last week; the arrival price of 1.2% - grade Indonesian domestic red - laterite nickel ore was $23/wet ton, unchanged from the previous week; and the CIF price of 1.5% - grade nickel ore from the Philippines was $58/ton, unchanged from last week. In the nickel - iron market, the game between supply and demand intensified, and prices remained stable for the time being. The ex - factory price of domestic high - nickel pig iron was 917.5 yuan/nickel point, down 2 yuan/nickel point from the previous day [14] Strategy View - From an industrial perspective, the inventory pressure of refined nickel is still significant recently, and the weak nickel - iron prices are dragging down nickel prices. If the refined nickel inventory continues to increase, it will be difficult for nickel prices to rise significantly. However, in the long - term, the global fiscal and monetary easing cycle will support nickel prices, and nickel prices may confirm the bottom earlier than the fundamentals. Therefore, it is recommended to wait and see in the short term. If the nickel price drops sufficiently (115,000 - 118,000 yuan/ton) or the risk appetite is high, long positions can be gradually established. The reference operating range for the short - term SHFE nickel main contract is 115,000 - 128,000 yuan/ton, and for the LME 3M nickel contract is $14,500 - 16,500/ton [15] Group 8: Lithium Carbonate Market Information - On November 7, the MMLC lithium carbonate spot index closed at 80,627 yuan in the evening session, up 2.02% from the previous working day and down 1.52% for the week. The MMLC battery - grade lithium carbonate was quoted at 80,300 - 81,400 yuan, with the average price up 1,600 yuan (+2.02%) from the previous working day; the industrial - grade lithium carbonate was quoted at 79,200 - 79,700 yuan, with the average price up 2.06% from the previous day. The LC2601 contract closed at 82,300 yuan, up 2.24% from the previous closing price and up 1.88% for the week. The average premium and discount of battery - grade lithium carbonate in the trading market was - 100 yuan. The CIF price of SMM Australian imported SC6 lithium concentrate was $920 - 960/ton, with the average price up 1.62% from the previous day and down 4.57% for the week [17] Strategy View - On the demand side, the high - growth trend of power and energy - storage battery consumption continues, the prices of products in each link of the lithium - battery industry chain are strong, and the sentiment in the equity market is optimistic. On the mining side, the probability of a delay in supply recovery is high, which eases the short - term supply release pressure. Domestic lithium carbonate inventory reduction is expected to continue until the end of the year, and the spot support is strong. On the capital side, there is obvious short - covering when prices fall, and the willingness of the industry to hedge increases after the price rebound. It is expected that lithium prices will fluctuate in the short term. It is recommended to pay attention to the trend of ore prices, the production schedule of lithium - battery materials in December, and the change in the equity market atmosphere. The reference operating range for the Guangzhou Futures Exchange lithium carbonate main contract is 80,500 - 84,500 yuan/ton [18] Group 9: Alumina Market Information - On November 7, 2025, as of 3 pm, the alumina index fell 0.14% to 2,801 yuan/ton, with the unilateral trading open interest decreasing by 20,000 to 556,000 lots. In terms of basis, the Shandong spot price fell 5 yuan/ton to 2,780 yuan/ton, at a premium of 25 yuan/ton to the 12 - month contract. Overseas, the MYSTEEL Australian FOB price rose $5/ton to $320/ton, and the import profit and loss was - 46 yuan/ton. In terms of futures inventory, on Friday, the futures warrant was 253,700 tons, up 1,500 tons from the previous day. The CIF price of Guinea bauxite remained at $72/ton, and the CIF price of Australian bauxite remained at $68/ton [20] Strategy View - After the rainy season, the overseas bauxite shipment will gradually resume, and the ore price is expected to decline. The over - capacity situation in the alumina smelting end is difficult to change in the short term, and the inventory accumulation trend continues. However, the current price is close to the cost line of most manufacturers, and the expectation of production cuts in the future is increasing. Moreover, the overall non - ferrous metal sector is strong, so the cost - performance of short - selling is not high. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term. The reference operating range for the domestic main contract AO2601 is 2,600 - 2,900 yuan/ton. Attention should be paid to supply - side policies, Guinea's ore policies, and the Fed's monetary policy [21] Group 10: Stainless Steel Market Information - At 15:00 on Friday, the stainless - steel main contract closed at 12,590 yuan/ton, up 0.44% (+55) for the day, with the open interest increasing by 10,369 to 190,300 lots.

The recycling price of Baoding 304 scrap steel industrial materials was 8,600 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day. The price of high - carbon ferrochrome in the northern main production area was 8,200 yuan/50 - base ton, unchanged from the previous day. The futures inventory was 74,195 tons, down 8,553 from the
