The domestic refined copper spot import window remained closed. After the Fed's October interest - rate cut, Powell's hawkish stance led to internal Fed differences on a December cut. The end of balance - sheet reduction was seen as maintaining a loose liquidity environment. With geopolitical and economic factors improving, 2026 may see a copper shortage, and copper prices may rise steadily. However, there is a divergence between expected and actual copper demand in Q4 [1]. - Aluminum: Overnight, alumina,沪铝, and aluminum alloy all showed an upward - oscillating trend. Alumina factory profits were further compressed, with high - cost capacity occasionally reducing production. Overseas supply disruptions and increased domestic molten aluminum supply led to a contraction in aluminum ingot supply and smooth de - stocking. Attention should be paid to the impact of the Fed's rate cut and downstream sentiment on whether aluminum prices can stay above 21,000 yuan/ton and continue to rise [2]. - Nickel: Overnight, LME nickel rose while沪镍 fell. Nickel ore was relatively stable. In the nickel - iron - stainless steel industry chain, nickel - iron prices declined, and stainless - steel inventory decreased slightly. In the new - energy industry chain, raw - material prices were tight. With increasing LME and SHFE nickel inventories, nickel prices oscillated, and attention should be paid to macro and inventory conditions [2]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report Aluminum - The alumina market remains weak with downward - trending futures prices. Supply pressure persists, while demand is sluggish. Short - term spot prices are expected to be under pressure, with the main contract oscillating between 2750 - 2950 yuan/ton [1]. - Aluminum prices maintained a high - level oscillation. The market trading atmosphere was weak. With a stable supply and resilient demand, short - term Shanghai aluminum is expected to oscillate at a high level, with the main contract in the range of 20700 - 21300 yuan/ton [1]. Casting Aluminum Alloy - Casting aluminum alloy followed the aluminum price in range oscillation. Cost support was prominent. With supply constraints and mild demand recovery, short - term ADC12 prices are expected to oscillate strongly, with the main contract in the range of 20200 - 20800 yuan/ton [3]. Zinc - Zinc prices oscillated. Supply is abundant, and the second - half production increase of domestic zinc smelters is limited. Short - term prices may rise due to macro - drivers but will likely oscillate, with the main contract in the range of 21500 - 22500 yuan/ton [6]. Copper - Copper prices oscillated. Macro factors and supply shortages support prices, while high prices suppress demand. The main contract should focus on the 84000 - 85000 support level [8]. Tin - Tin prices rebounded. Supply is tight, while demand is weak. Future price trends depend on the recovery of Burmese supply. If supply recovers well, prices may weaken; otherwise, they will likely oscillate at a high level [10]. Nickel - Nickel prices rose slightly. Macro risks increased, with cost support but inventory pressure. The mid - term supply is abundant, and the price is expected to oscillate in the range of 120000 - 126000 yuan/ton [12].

Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - **Copper**: Copper prices declined from high levels today, accelerating the decline in the afternoon with a continuous decrease in open interest. After a short - term market rebound, there is a strong willingness among long - position holders to close their positions. Macroscopically, stock indices, non - ferrous metals, and precious metals all declined. It is expected that copper prices will stabilize with fluctuations, and attention should be paid to the support at the 84,000 yuan mark [4]. - **Aluminum**: Aluminum prices also declined from high levels today, accelerating the decline in the afternoon with little change in overall open interest. After a short - term market rebound, there is a strong willingness among long - position holders to close their positions. Macroscopically, stock indices, non - ferrous metals, and precious metals all declined. It is expected that aluminum prices will stabilize with fluctuations [5]. - **Nickel**: Nickel prices significantly declined with an increase in open interest today, and the main contract price fell below the 121,000 yuan mark. The short - term decline was caused by long - position holders in the non - ferrous sector closing their positions, and nickel may be used as a short - allocation position in the sector. Technically, attention should be paid to the support at the 120,000 yuan mark [6]. Summary by Directory 1. Industry Dynamics - **Copper**: SMM predicts that the comprehensive operating rate of the enameled wire industry in October will drop to 67.66%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.46 percentage points. Although it is a year - on - year increase of 2.44 percentage points, the overall operation is slow. The National Day holiday led to some enameled wire enterprises having holidays or reducing production, directly dragging down the industry's operating rate. From the demand side, the demand for enameled wires from power transformers and new - energy - related end - users is stable and improving, and there is also an expectation of warming in the end - user home appliance demand. However, high copper prices significantly suppress orders, and enterprises are cautious about order growth expectations [8]. - **Aluminum**: Rio Tinto (RIO) achieved significant growth in the production of key products in the third quarter. Bauxite production climbed to 16.4 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 9%; alumina production increased by 7% to 1.9 million tons; copper production also increased by 10% to 204,000 tons. The company's CEO pointed out that its bauxite business and the Oyu Tolgoi mine both set production records. The underground expansion project of the Oyu Tolgoi mine is expected to increase this year's copper production by more than 50%, and the Simandou project has also made important progress. Currently, Rio Tinto is enhancing shareholder value by improving operational efficiency and controlling capital expenditures and maintaining its 2025 production targets [9]. - **Nickel**: On October 14, the price of SMM1 electrolytic nickel was in the range of 120,700 - 123,500 yuan/ton, with an average price of 122,100 yuan/ton, a decrease of 350 yuan/ton compared to the previous trading day.
