Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the contrasting electricity pricing trends in the United States and China, highlighting the impact of different market mechanisms and regulatory environments on electricity costs and consumption [6][8][18]. Group 1: Electricity Pricing in the U.S. - In the U.S., electricity prices are driven by a market mechanism that reflects supply and demand, leading to significant price increases when demand outstrips supply [10][12]. - The average electricity price in the U.S. has been rising over the past two years, attributed to necessary infrastructure upgrades and the costs associated with transitioning to AI technologies [11][12]. - The pricing mechanism in the U.S. serves as a signal for investment in power generation and encourages consumers to reduce usage during peak times [10][12]. Group 2: Electricity Pricing in China - In contrast, China's electricity prices are experiencing a downward trend, with a reported 10% year-on-year decrease in purchasing prices since the beginning of 2025 [6][15]. - The decline in electricity prices in China is a result of aggressive supply-side expansions, particularly in coal and renewable energy sectors, without a corresponding surge in demand [15][16]. - The Chinese electricity market operates under a macroeconomic framework where electricity is treated as a public utility, leading to lower prices that benefit manufacturing but pressure power generation companies [19][20]. Group 3: Implications of Pricing Mechanisms - The article emphasizes that in the U.S., consumers bear the immediate costs of rising electricity prices, which can lead to public protests and demands for regulatory changes [18][20]. - In China, the burden of low electricity prices is shifted to the supply side, where power generation companies and equipment manufacturers face reduced profitability, impacting their operational viability [19][20]. - The contrasting approaches to electricity pricing reflect broader economic strategies, with the U.S. prioritizing market-driven signals and China focusing on maintaining low costs for consumers and industries [8][20].

Report Information - **Authors**: Yang Lina, Hu Bin, Liang Haikuan [1] - **Date**: January 14, 2026 [2] - **Investment Advisory License**: Beijing Securities Regulatory Commission Permit [2012] No. 75 [2] Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - The overall trend of non - ferrous metals is strong but slightly differentiated. In a relatively loose monetary environment, driven by factors such as AI technology development, increased attention to the key mineral supply chain, and enhanced supply uncertainties of strategic resources due to rising nationalism in resource - rich countries and geopolitical disturbances, the sector remains strong, though there are fluctuations in market sentiment. The lower - than - expected US CPI data boosts the expectation of a rate cut in April, and the market continues to show relatively warm fluctuations [12]. - China's foreign trade is accelerating its recovery. China's exports denominated in US dollars increased by 6.6% year - on - year in December, and imports increased by 5.7% year - on - year. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers expects that the sales volume of new energy vehicles in 2026 is expected to reach 19 million, a year - on - year increase of 15.2%, and automobile exports are expected to reach 7.4 million, a year - on - year increase of 4.3% [12]. - Overseas data shows that the number of new non - farm jobs in the US in December was lower than expected, but the unemployment rate decreased. Traders almost eliminated their bets on a rate cut in January. The preliminary consumer confidence index of the University of Michigan in January reached a four - month high. The core CPI growth rate in December was lower than expected, and traders increased their bets on a mid - year rate cut [12]. Summary by Directory Part I: Non - ferrous Metals Operating Logic and Investment Recommendations - **Macro Logic**: The non - ferrous metals sector is generally strong with a slightly differentiated trend. The sector remains strong under the influence of a loose monetary environment, AI development, and geopolitical factors. The lower - than - expected US CPI boosts the April rate - cut expectation. China's foreign trade recovers, and the new energy vehicle and automobile export markets are promising. Overseas, the US employment and inflation data affect market rate - cut expectations [12]. - **Investment Recommendations for Each Metal** - **Copper**: Try to gradually buy on dips. The short - term upper pressure range is around 108,000 - 110,000 yuan/ton, and the lower support range is around 98,000 - 99,000 yuan/ton. Consider buying out - of - the - money long - term call options [4]. - **Zinc**: Follow the overall sector trend. The upper pressure is around 24,500 - 24,800, and the short - term lower support is around 23,600 - 23,800 [5]. - **Aluminum Industry Chain**: For aluminum, adopt a bullish approach. The upper pressure range is 25,000 - 27,000, and the lower support range is 22,000 - 22,300. For alumina, maintain a short - selling strategy on rallies. The upper pressure range is 2,900 - 3,000, and the lower support range is 2,000 - 2,200. For recycled aluminum alloy, adopt a bullish approach. The upper pressure range is 24,000 - 26,000, and the lower support range is 21,000 - 21,500 [6]. - **Tin**: Adopt a bullish approach before the capital enthusiasm fades. The upper pressure range is 430,000 - 450,000, and the lower support range is 330,000 - 350,000. Consider buying out - of - the - money put options for protection [7]. - **Lead**: The price is expected to remain in an overall oscillatory pattern. The short - term lower support is around 17,000 - 17,200, and the upper resistance is around 17,600 - 17,800 [8]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: For nickel, trade in short - term bands with light positions. The upper resistance is around 146,000 - 150,000 yuan, and the lower support is around 137,000 - 138,000 yuan. For stainless steel, the lower support is around 13,300 - 13,400, and the upper resistance is around 13,800 - 14,200 [9].

Core Viewpoint - The current performance of global major asset classes is driven by multiple "mainstream narratives," including the long-term weakening of the dollar credit cycle, the formation of a new monetary system with gold as a pricing anchor, the restructuring of global industrial and supply chains, AI computing power becoming a new phase of infrastructure, and non-ferrous metals emerging as the "new oil" of this phase [1] Group 1: Global Asset Dynamics - The narratives are interconnected and form a "narrative constellation" that is systematically reshaping global asset pricing logic, with no indication that this narrative phase is nearing its end [1] - Non-ferrous metals have significantly enhanced their strategic position in the context of global industrial restructuring and energy transition, akin to the role of oil in previous decades [1] Group 2: Chinese Economic Consumption - The consumption structure of the Chinese economy is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a focus on goods consumption to a balanced emphasis on both goods and services consumption [1] - There is strong demand for service consumption in areas such as cultural tourism, elderly care, and childcare, with policy incentives for service consumption expected to become an important macroeconomic clue for 2026, driving optimization of domestic demand structure [1]
