Group 1: Investment Ratings - No investment ratings for the industry are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The overnight LME copper price rose significantly, with the domestic market following suit. However, the spot import window remained closed, indicating cautious sentiment in the domestic market. The Fed official's support for two interest rate cuts this year and the US government's conciliatory remarks on Sino - US trade talks boosted market risk appetite and drove up non - ferrous metal prices. Copper prices may maintain a relatively strong trend due to the ongoing impact of the Indonesian mine accident, but the probability of exceeding the previous domestic historical high is low [1]. - Alumina showed a weak and volatile trend, while aluminum and aluminum alloy showed a strong and volatile trend. Alumina is generally bearish but may be bottoming out. The aluminum price is expected to maintain a relatively strong pattern, and whether it can rise further depends on the improvement of demand [1][2]. - Nickel prices are expected to fluctuate widely.
