1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The platinum and palladium futures main contracts fluctuated weakly in intraday trading, with platinum's decline greater than palladium's. In the short - term, the realization of the interest - rate cut expectation may continue the price correction.

The current low price of palladium may make it a cost - effective choice again, and there may be a follow - up catch - up rally.

Group 1: Investment Ratings - There is no information provided on the industry investment ratings in the reports [1][4][6][8][9][10][11][13][14][17] Group 2: Core Views Tin - Considering the strong fundamentals, the tin price is expected to remain strong throughout the year. It is advisable to maintain a bullish view on tin prices, hold existing long positions, and adopt a low - buying strategy on price pullbacks. Keep an eye on macro - end changes and supply - side fluctuations [1] Zinc - With the improvement of interest - rate cut expectations and the opening of the export space, zinc prices are expected to fluctuate strongly. The upward range of refined zinc production is limited, and the domestic supply pressure is relieved. The demand side has a structural improvement, but the downstream terminal demand remains stable. The LME inventory is continuously accumulating, and attention should be paid to the structural risk. The short - term price decline space is limited, and the domestic zinc price may be stronger than the London zinc price. Pay attention to the TC inflection point and refined zinc inventory changes [4] Copper - In the short term, the imbalance in global copper supply and inventory drives the copper price to rise rapidly, and the price volatility may intensify. In the long term, the supply - demand contradiction of copper still exists, supporting the bottom center of copper prices to gradually rise. Pay attention to the structural changes of domestic and foreign inventories and the risk of short squeezes [6] Aluminum - The alumina market is expected to maintain a bottom - oscillating trend, with the main contract reference range moving down to 2550 - 2800 yuan/ton.

If the price falls to around 8500 - 8700 yuan/ton, consider buying on dips [9] Polysilicon - The polysilicon futures may continue to oscillate at a high level, but considering the weak demand, the spot price has limited upward momentum. It is more likely that the futures price will decline to converge with the spot price. For now, it is advisable to wait and see [10] Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy market is expected to maintain a high - level narrow - range oscillation in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 20800 - 21600 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the improvement progress of scrap aluminum supply and the change of downstream procurement rhythm [11][12] Nickel - In the short term, the nickel price is expected to oscillate within a range, with the main reference range of 116000 - 120000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the changes in macro - expectations and the industrial policy news from Indonesia [13] Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market is expected to oscillate and repair in the short term, with the main contract running range of 12400 - 12800 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the implementation strength of steel mills' production cuts and the change of raw material prices [14] Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate market is expected to oscillate widely in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 92000 - 96000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the resumption of production by large manufacturers and the sustainability of demand in the off - season [17] Group 3: Summary by Catalog Tin - **Price and Spread**: The spot price of SMM 1 tin decreased by 800 yuan/ton to 314000 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.25%.

全球金融市场价格波动加大,美联储12月降息一旦落地,会否反而让市场在2026年产生流动性紧缩?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-12-09 06:14
Core Viewpoint - The current volatility in global stock, bond, currency, and precious metal markets indicates a highly concentrated expectation and liquidity, with a potential end to the era of ultra-loose monetary policy, as highlighted by the BIS warning [1][3]. Market Trends - As of December 8, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose by 2.92 basis points to 4.164%, nearing the 4.2% mark, with long-term yields in Japan and Germany also reaching new highs [1]. - The three major U.S. stock indices fell for the third consecutive trading day, with the S&P 500 index down 2.1% from its November peak [1]. - The U.S. dollar index increased by 0.12% to 99.10, while most non-U.S. currencies faced downward pressure [1]. - International precious metal futures generally declined, with COMEX gold futures down 0.54% to $4219.90 per ounce and COMEX silver futures down 0.94% to $58.50 per ounce [1]. Federal Reserve Expectations - Market focus is on the Federal Reserve's December meeting, with an 84.8% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut, while the probability of maintaining the current rate is only 15.2% [3]. - The anticipated rate cut may not signify the expected easing but could represent a tightening signal due to distorted market price signals [3]. Employment Data Impact - The U.S. ADP employment data for November showed a decrease of 32,000 jobs, the largest drop since March 2023, significantly below the expected increase of 40,000 jobs, with small businesses being the hardest hit [4][6]. Analyst Revisions - Following the weak employment data, major Wall Street firms like JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley have revised their forecasts, with Standard Chartered explicitly changing its prediction from "maintaining rates" to "a 25 basis point cut" [6]. - Nomura Securities has also adjusted its reports to support the rate cut, acknowledging previous misinterpretations of Fed Chair Powell's hawkish signals [6]. Market Pricing and Future Projections - The market has already priced in the rate cut, indicating that the anticipated easing may lack additional positive impact, leading to a focus on the 2026 policy path [7]. - The internal division within the Federal Reserve regarding hawkish and dovish stances is becoming more pronounced, with potential voting outcomes indicating a split [7]. - Analysts predict a rare voting pattern of "4 hawkish dissenting votes + 1 dovish dissenting vote" during the upcoming rate decision [7]. Economic Outlook - The National Association for Business Economics (NABE) survey indicates an upward revision of the median growth forecast for the U.S. economy in 2026 to 2%, with inflation expected to decrease to 2.6% and unemployment rising to 4.5% [10]. - The anticipated tightening of monetary policy is reflected in the bond market, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising by 26 basis points since late November [13]. - The stock market, particularly the S&P 500, has shown declines despite rising rate cut expectations, indicating concerns over liquidity tightening [13]. Liquidity Conditions - Recent trends in the U.S. repo market show tightening liquidity, with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) reaching a high of 4.5% [15]. - The market's perception of liquidity measures as "countering liquidity shortages" rather than "active easing" reinforces the notion that a lack of incremental easing equates to tightening [15].
