Report Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Recently, there have been signs of adjustment in non-ferrous varieties, with selling pressure emerging at higher levels. The strong upward trend in non-ferrous metals and precious metals is essentially driven by the new economic logic, specifically the demand logic of related commodities driven by the new energy and AI economies. However, their valuations are slightly high. The anti-involution logic of low-valuation varieties is gradually advancing. The daily melting volume of glass has dropped to 150,000 tons, approaching the low limit in 2015. The national policy is determined to rectify involution-style competition and adjust the dynamic adjustment ability of the supply side. It is believed that anti-involution may play a role in the theme market in 2026 [2][5] - The hot spots in the commodity market in the past week still revolved around non-ferrous and precious metal varieties.

Investment Opportunities - **Systematic Revaluation of Low-Valuation Stocks**: The company believes that low-valuation stocks are due for a systematic revaluation, as the risk-free interest rate in China has declined rapidly over the past three years, yet valuations have not adjusted accordingly. With a significant amount of household deposits maturing in 2026, some funds are expected to flow into low-valuation sectors, similar to the valuation recovery seen in the South Korean stock market [2]. - **AI Sector Transition**: The company predicts that the AI sector will shift from a focus on computing power to applications and edge computing.
