1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Copper - The "stagflation-like" environment restricts the upside of copper prices, but the dovish Fed statement on August 22 boosted market expectations of a September rate cut, thus lifting copper prices. The inflation pressure may not prevent the restart of rate cuts, but the actual rate cut幅度 is uncertain. The key lies in whether the inflation caused by tariffs is a one-time shock. - Fundamentally, the supply-demand contradiction of copper remains the main line, with a tight supply situation. The copper price is expected to be range-bound in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 78,500 - 80,500 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum - The alumina market is facing a game between short-term supply disruptions and long-term overcapacity. The price of the main contract is expected to be in the range of 3,000 - 3,300 yuan/ton this week, and short positions can be considered at high prices. - The aluminum market is under pressure from the supply-demand structure, and the inventory is expected to accumulate. The short-term aluminum price is expected to be volatile, with the main contract reference range of 20,000 - 21,000 yuan/ton [4]. Aluminum Alloy - The fundamentals of the aluminum alloy market are showing marginal improvement, and the social inventory has decreased. The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, which supports the cost. The demand for communication die-casting has increased, while the automotive sector is still weak. The spot price is expected to remain relatively firm, and the price difference between aluminum alloy and aluminum is expected to converge. The main contract is expected to run in the range of 19,600 - 20,400 yuan/ton [7]. Zinc - The supply of zinc is loose, and the demand is weak, which limits the continuous upward movement of zinc prices. However, the decline in overseas inventories provides support for prices. The short-term zinc price is expected to be volatile and stronger due to improved rate cut expectations, with the main contract reference range of 22,000 - 23,000 yuan/ton [9]. Tin - The Fed's dovish signal has pushed up tin prices. The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the demand is expected to be weak. If the supply recovers smoothly, a short-selling strategy can be considered; if the supply recovery is less than expected, the tin price is expected to remain high and volatile [12]. Nickel - The macro sentiment has improved, and the cost provides some support. The supply is expected to be loose, but the pace is slow. The short-term nickel price is expected to be range-adjusted, with the main contract reference range of 118,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton [14]. Stainless Steel - The cost of stainless steel provides support, but the weak spot demand restricts the market. The short-term price is expected to be range-bound, with the main contract reference range of 12,600 - 13,400 yuan/ton [16]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate market is currently in a tight balance. The supply contraction expectation is gradually being realized, and the demand is showing a steady and optimistic trend. The short-term price is expected to fluctuate widely around 80,000 yuan/ton [18]. 3.

【文/观察者网 熊超然】"关税紧张局势下，中国对美国能源的进口量降至接近零。"《日经亚洲》8月26日报道指出，今年7月，中国从美国进口的原油、液 化天然气和煤炭总量不足1吨，为五年多以来的最低水平。当前贸易紧张局势，已促使中国转向其他供应国，尤其是俄罗斯。 研究机构CEIC援引国家统计局的数据显示，自今年3月以来，中国没有从美国进口液化天然气，自6月以来也没有从美国进口原油，而包括炼钢用煤在内的 煤炭进口量已从1月的约135万吨骤降至5月以来的每月不足1吨。 报道指出，这并非中国首次几乎停止购买美国能源产品。2019年年末，由于美国总统在其首个执政任期执意挑起并不断升级对华贸易战，中国对美国原油、 液化天然气和煤炭的进口量降至零，但在两国当时签署第一阶段贸易协议后，美国出口量迅速回升。 《日经亚洲》认为，但与过去不同，近期的下降可能预示着一种长期趋势，一部分原因可能在于美国再度挑起的贸易战。此前，为反制美国对华输美产品加 征所谓"芬太尼关税"，中国自今年2月10日起对原产于美国的部分进口商品加征关税，包括对原产于美国的煤炭、液化天然气加征15%关税，对原产于美国 的原油、农业机械、大排量汽车、皮卡加征10%关 ...
