Group 1: Report Investment Ratings - No investment ratings provided in the report Group 2: Core Views - The market is still dominated by the progress of tariff negotiations. For copper, maintain a strategy of buying on dips, considering selling put options below $10,000 or gradually building virtual inventory. For aluminum, keep an eye on terminal demand in the short - term and hold on dips in the long - term.

The US Vice - President Vance said Trump is willing to negotiate on tariffs, and the US Treasury Secretary Besent said a 100% tariff on China may not happen. However, the US is open to all options regarding China's rare - earth export restrictions. - China's export data in September showed resilience, but exports to the US continued to decline. Given the high base due to the export rush at the end of last year, China's export year - on - year data in Q4 may face pressure. - For the A - share market, the previous low - valuation advantage has disappeared after a six - month rise, and the high valuation of the technology sector brings higher risks. The Sino - US game is mainly for the end - of - month negotiation, and China's attitude is more proactive and tough. Therefore, tariff disturbances may not subside soon, and market volatility is likely to continue. - It is recommended to participate with a light position and use arbitrage strategies to resist market risks, such as going long on large - cap blue - chips and short on small - cap growth stocks.
