Week - on - Week Summary - **Market Review**: This week, the main contract of Shanghai Tin pulled back from a high level, with a weekly gain or loss of - 4.62% and an amplitude of 9.82%. As of the close of this week, the main contract was quoted at 322,920 yuan/ton [4]. - **Market Outlook**: - **Macro - level**: According to the minutes of the Fed meeting, "most" officials expect it to be appropriate to continue cutting interest rates after December, while some advocate "holding steady for some time". The first batch of 62.5 billion yuan of ultra - long - term special treasury bonds in 2026 to support the replacement of consumer goods with old ones has been issued in advance [4]. - **Fundamental - level**: - **Supply side**: The import supply of domestic tin ore is still relatively tight, and the tin ore processing fee remains at a low level. The resumption of production in Myanmar and the end of the rainy season have provided some incremental supply of tin ore, but the supply in other regions is still highly unstable, and the overall import volume of tin ore is still at a low level. At the smelting end, the current tin ore raw materials are in short supply, and the raw material inventories of most enterprises are still low. For most enterprises, it is in a loss - making situation, and it is expected that the output of refined tin will continue to be restricted, still lacking year - on - year increments. In terms of imports, Indonesia's export volume increased significantly in November, alleviating concerns about restricted supply in Indonesia. Recently, the import loss has been repaired. If the window opens later, the import supply pressure will increase significantly [4]. - **Demand side**: Recently, the price of tin has pulled back from a high level, the market's willingness to purchase at an opportune time has improved, the inventory has decreased slightly, and the spot premium has remained at 500 yuan/ton. The LME inventory has increased significantly, and the spot premium has fluctuated [4]. - **Technical - level**: Trading volume has increased while positions have decreased, the long - buying sentiment has declined, and it is facing the key resistance at the upper edge of the upward channel [4]. 3.2.

Core Viewpoints of the Report - It is expected that Shanghai nickel will undergo a strong - side adjustment in the short - term, with attention on the support of MA5 and testing the previous high resistance level of 136,000 yuan/ton [7]. - Stainless steel futures prices are expected to have a strong - side adjustment, and attention should be paid to the upper range of 13,200 - 13,600 yuan/ton [7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Week - to - Week Summary 3.1.1 Shanghai Nickel - This week, the main contract of Shanghai nickel continued to rise, with a weekly gain of +4.81% and an amplitude of 8.99%. As of this week's close, the main contract was quoted at 132,850 yuan/ton [7]. - Macroeconomically, the Fed meeting minutes showed that "most" officials expected it to be suitable to continue cutting interest rates after December, and some advocated staying put for "some time". In 2026, the plan for the first batch of 62.5 billion yuan of ultra - long - term special treasury bonds to support the replacement of old consumer goods with new ones has been advanced [7]. - Fundamentally, the Philippines has entered the rainy season, and the import volume of nickel ore is expected to decline. Indonesia plans to significantly cut the RKAB quota next year, causing market concerns about the tightening of raw material supply. In the smelting sector, Indonesia's nickel - iron production remains high, and the volume flowing back to China is expected to increase. Multiple new refined nickel projects in China and Indonesia have been put into operation one after another. Although the shortage of intermediate - product raw materials and profit losses have led to some production cuts, the production volume is still at a high level, and cost support has increased. In terms of demand, the price of nickel - iron, the raw material for stainless steel, has fallen, and steel mill profits have improved, with expected high production volume. The production and sales of new - energy vehicles continue to climb, and ternary batteries contribute a small incremental demand [7]. - Domestically, nickel inventories continue to accumulate. The market mainly makes purchases during price pull - backs, and the spot premium is at a high level. Overseas LME inventory growth has slowed down. Technically, trading volume has increased and positions have been added, with a strong bullish sentiment [7]. 3.1.2 Stainless Steel - This week, stainless steel continued to rise, with a weekly gain of +1.31% and an amplitude of 2.78%. As of this week's close, the main contract was quoted at 13,125 yuan/ton [7]. - In terms of raw materials, the Philippines is gradually entering the rainy season, and the nickel ore grade is decreasing, causing the raw material inventory of domestic nickel - iron plants to tighten. Indonesia plans to significantly cut the RKAB quota next year. Under the situation of shrinking raw material supply, nickel - iron production will face production - cut pressure. In terms of supply, the production profit of stainless steel plants has improved. Although the traditional peak demand season has passed, the actual decline in production is expected to be limited, and supply pressure still exists. In terms of demand, downstream demand is gradually entering the off - season, and the export volume of stainless steel is showing a downward trend. The impact of previous export squeezes has begun to appear. The market's purchasing willingness is not high, and overall inquiries and transactions are average. However, the market's arrivals are also limited, so the national social inventory of stainless steel maintains a seasonal slight decline. Technically, positions have increased and prices have risen, with a growing bullish sentiment [7]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Market 3.2.1 Price Changes - As of December 31, the closing price of Shanghai nickel was 132,850 yuan/ton, up 4,850 yuan/ton from last week; the closing price of stainless steel was 13,125 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton from last week [13]. - As of December 31, the average price of nickel pig iron (1.5 - 1.7%) was 3,300 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton from last week; the average price of nickel - iron (7 - 10%) nationwide was 915 yuan/nickel, up 15 yuan/nickel from last week [13]. 3.2.2 Basis Changes - As of December 31, the spot price of electrolytic nickel was 137,550 yuan/ton, with a basis of 4,700 yuan/ton; the closing price of stainless steel was 13,550 yuan/ton, with a basis of 425 yuan/ton [18]. 3.2.3 Ratio Changes - As of December 31, the price ratio of Shanghai nickel to stainless steel on the SHFE was 10.12, up 0.33 from last week; the price ratio of Shanghai tin to Shanghai nickel on the SHFE was 2.43 yuan/ton, down 0.24 from last week [26]. 3.2.4 Net Long Position Changes - As of December 31, 2025, the net long position of the top 20 in Shanghai nickel was - 54,386 lots, a decrease of 1,322 lots from December 25, 2025. - As of December 31, 2025, the net long position of the top 20 in stainless steel was - 14,200 lots, an increase of 2,118 lots from December 25, 2025 [32]. 3.3 Industrial Chain Situation 3.3.1 Supply Side - **Nickel Ore Port Inventory and Electrolytic Nickel Production Profit**: As of December 26, the nickel ore inventory in major domestic ports was 13.7647 million tons, a decrease of 626,700 tons from last week.
