Group 1 - Gold prices continued to rise, reaching a high of $3486, the highest since April, driven by expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, with an 87% probability according to CME tools [1][2] - The gold market is influenced by declining U.S. Treasury yields, geopolitical tensions, and rate cut expectations, with inflation remaining sticky as the July PCE index year-on-year was at 2.6% and core PCE slightly increased to 2.9% [2] - Geopolitical risks, particularly the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and tensions in the Middle East, are enhancing gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset [2] Group 2 - The current upward trend in gold prices is supported by macroeconomic easing expectations and risk aversion, with a weak dollar and global uncertainties contributing to the conditions for gold to challenge historical highs [2] - Technical analysis indicates that gold has broken through the $3440 resistance level, opening new upward potential, although short-term adjustments may occur around the psychological barrier of $3500 [2][4] - The weekly and daily charts show a positive trend for gold, with short-term support levels at $3463 and $3457, while the focus remains on potential upward movements towards historical highs [4]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Gold: Long position recommended [1] - Silver: Long position recommended [1] - Copper: Buy on dips [1] - Zinc: Sell on rallies [1] - Lead: Under pressure [1] - Tin: Rebound and then decline [1] - Aluminum: Rebound under pressure [1] - Nickel: Rebound under pressure [1] - Industrial silicon: Under pressure [1] - Polysilicon: Cautiously bullish in September [1] - Lithium carbonate: Cautiously bullish [1] Core Views - Overall, the report analyzes various non - ferrous metals and new energy metals, suggesting different investment strategies based on their respective fundamentals, market conditions, and macro - economic factors. For example, gold and silver are expected to rise due to interest - rate cut expectations and geopolitical risks; copper is favored in the long - term due to supply shortages and increasing demand; while zinc is considered a short - position option as supply increases and demand weakens [1][3][7]. Summary by Metal Gold and Silver - **Market Performance**: Gold price center has shifted upwards, and silver has broken through historical highs [2] - **Basic Logic**: US inflation has rebounded (July core PCE price index rose to 2.9% year - on - year), the Fed may cut interest rates, and there are geopolitical conflicts. In the short term, it's difficult for gold to break through the range, but in the long term, it may enter a long - bull market [3] - **Strategy Recommendation**: For gold, there is support around 770, and pay attention to the performance at the recent high of 803. For silver, pay attention to the effectiveness of the breakthrough. In the long run, the upward trend of gold and silver remains unchanged [4] Copper - **Market Performance**: Shanghai copper has strengthened in a volatile manner [6] - **Industrial Logic**: Copper concentrate supply is tight, processing fees are deeply inverted. Refined copper production may decline marginally in the future. Demand is expected to pick up during the peak season, and there are contradictions between short - term inventory accumulation and long - term demand growth [6] - **Strategy Recommendation**: Hold existing long positions, and new investors can buy on dips. In the long term, be optimistic about copper. Shanghai copper is expected to trade in the range of 78,500 - 81,500 yuan/ton, and LME copper in the range of 9,800 - 10,000 US dollars/ton [7] Zinc - **Market Performance**: Shanghai zinc's rebound is under pressure [10] - **Industrial Logic**: Zinc concentrate supply is abundant in 2025. Demand is weak during the off - season, and domestic inventory has increased [10] - **Strategy Recommendation**: Temporarily wait and see, and in the long term, sell on rallies. Shanghai zinc is expected to trade in the range of 22,000 - 22,600 yuan/ton, and LME zinc in the range of 2,750 - 2,850 US dollars/ton [11] Aluminum - **Market Performance**: Aluminum price rebound is under pressure, and alumina is relatively weak [13] - **Industrial Logic**: Overseas interest - rate cut expectations are strong. Aluminum production has increased slightly, and inventory has accumulated. Alumina supply is expected to be loose in the short term [14] - **Strategy Recommendation**: Take profit and wait and see for Shanghai aluminum, and pay attention to the changes in downstream processing enterprises' operating rates. The main operating range is 20,000 - 21,000 yuan/ton [15] Nickel - **Market Performance**: Nickel price rebound is under pressure, and stainless steel is also under pressure [17] - **Industrial Logic**: Overseas macro sentiment has weakened. The nickel industry's supply and demand are divided, with refined nickel supply in surplus and nickel sulfate in short supply. Stainless steel inventory decline has slowed down, and the off - season pressure remains [18] - **Strategy Recommendation**: Take profit and wait and see for nickel and stainless steel, and pay attention to downstream inventory changes. The main operating range for nickel is 120,000 - 123,000 yuan/ton [19] Carbonate Lithium - **Market Performance**: The main contract LC2511 opened slightly higher, rose and then fell, with the closing gain narrowing [21] - **Industrial Logic**: A mine in Jiangxi has renewed its mining license, but the situation of other mines is uncertain. Production is stable, demand is picking up, and total inventory has declined for three consecutive weeks [22] - **Strategy Recommendation**: Wait for the price to stabilize in the range of 76,500 - 79,000 yuan/ton [23]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: Not clearly indicated by stars, but the analysis implies a short - term neutral with a potential short - selling opportunity later [2] - Fuel oil: ☆☆☆, representing a more distinct bullish trend with a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: ☆☆, indicating a clear bullish trend and the market is in the process of development [1] - Asphalt: ☆☆☆, suggesting a more distinct bullish trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG): ☆☆☆, showing a more distinct bullish trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall energy market shows different trends. Crude oil may turn to a volatile trend before the geopolitical risk further intensifies. Fuel oil and low - sulfur fuel oil have a relatively positive fundamental situation. Asphalt has strong resistance to decline and potential demand. LPG has a short - term repair market but faces long - term overseas production increase pressure [2][3][4][5] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices rose, with the SC10 contract rising 0.42% during the day. Last week, US EIA crude oil inventories decreased by 2.392 million barrels more than expected, and gasoline and refined oil inventories also decreased, indicating demand resilience at the end of the summer peak. Brent near $70/barrel has priced in the bullish impact of supply risks related to the deadlock in Russia - Ukraine peace talks. Before the geopolitical risk further intensifies, crude oil may turn to a volatile trend. Pay attention to the opportunity to short - sell crude oil again after the support of peak - season factors fades [2] Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - Oil prices continued to correct, and fuel - related futures also declined under pressure. As of the end of July, Singapore's marine fuel sales decreased by 1.7% year - on - year, and China's bonded marine fuel bunkering demand decreased by 1% year - on - year. At the same time, the enthusiasm of domestic refineries to produce marine fuel was also low, with supply decreasing by 19% year - on - year as of July. The on - land fuel oil inventories in Singapore and Fujairah decreased month - on - month, and the inventory pressure was relieved. The overall fundamentals are more positive than before. Due to the geopolitical conflicts in Russia and Iran, high - sulfur resources are supported by geopolitical premiums, and the decline is relatively restrained, and the FU crack spread is still supported [3] Asphalt - Today, crude oil led the decline in oil product futures, but asphalt futures prices rose inversely, and the crack spread once exceeded 350. After experiencing the unexpectedly high production in September and the sharp decline in oil prices, asphalt's resistance to decline in oil products continued. In August, the shipment volume of sample refineries increased by 88,000 year - on - year, breaking the growth bottleneck from June to July. Leading indicators such as the issuance volume of special bonds for new toll roads and the cumulative domestic sales volume of road rollers increased significantly year - on - year, indicating that there is still potential demand for asphalt. The latest data shows that both factory inventories and social inventories have decreased significantly. The low inventory supports the spot and futures prices of asphalt. The BU2510 contract has reached over 3,500 yuan/ton, and the crack spread has rebounded significantly [4] LPG - The international market rebounded under the support of import demand. Currently, the domestic arrival volume continues to rise, and due to the large proportion of low - price goods in the early stage, the sales pressure is limited. Pay attention to the pressure on the domestic chemical industry after the increase in import costs. With the stabilization of crude oil, the naphtha - propane price difference remains at an advantageous level, and the high chemical demand can be maintained in the short term. The short - term bearish pressure on the spot has been released, and the market maintains a repair trend without further pressure from crude oil. In the long term, there is still pressure from overseas production increase, which relatively suppresses the far - month contracts, and the market shows a pattern of strong near - term and weak far - term [5]
