Core Viewpoint - The metal sector on the Shanghai Futures Exchange experienced a significant rally on January 29, 2026, driven by multiple factors including macroeconomic policies, geopolitical dynamics, supply-demand balance, capital flows, and inter-commodity linkages. Group 1: Core Driving Factors - **Macroeconomic Policy**: The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at 3.5%-3.75%, signaling a dovish stance and reinforcing expectations for rate cuts in the first half of 2026. The US dollar index fell to 96.2, a near four-year low, reducing overseas procurement costs for metals and attracting global capital into the commodity market [1]. - **Domestic Growth Policies**: Continued domestic policies aimed at stabilizing growth, such as the issuance of ultra-long special government bonds and consumption stimulation during the Spring Festival, further boosted metal demand expectations [2]. - **Geopolitical Factors**: Easing concerns over supply chain disruptions due to improved conditions in resource-rich areas, although geopolitical uncertainties remain. Silver, with its dual attributes of finance and safe-haven, became a preferred choice for capital allocation [3]. - **Supply-Demand Dynamics**: A "tight balance" in supply and demand was noted, with supply constraints in tin, nickel, and lead due to environmental policies and mining difficulties, while demand surged from sectors like new energy and construction [4][5]. - **Capital Flows**: Increased risk appetite led to significant capital inflows into the commodity market, with metals showing heightened trading activity. The reversal of previously accumulated pessimism quickly drove prices up [7]. Group 2: Price Movements and Commodity Performance - **Price Increases**: Major metals saw substantial price increases, with copper rising by 6,490 yuan (+6.35%), aluminum by 765 yuan (+3.08%), and silver by 1,706 yuan (+5.99%). Gold also saw a notable increase of 87.14 yuan (+7.53%) [1]. - **Commodity Linkages**: Leading commodities like copper and aluminum initiated the rally, boosting market sentiment. Copper reached a new high of 108,000 yuan/ton, while aluminum followed suit due to dual demand from new energy and infrastructure [8]. - **Differentiated Performance**: Various metals exhibited different price responses based on their supply-demand characteristics and market attributes, with tin and nickel showing strong rebounds due to specific supply constraints and demand from new energy applications [9]. Group 3: Market Outlook - **Short-term Outlook**: The market is expected to maintain strong fluctuations leading up to the Spring Festival, supported by ongoing stocking activities and favorable macroeconomic conditions. Copper may challenge the 109,000 yuan/ton mark, while aluminum is monitored around the 26,000 yuan/ton resistance level [10]. - **Long-term Perspective**: Structural demand from industries such as new energy and AI computing is anticipated to reshape the market, with copper, aluminum, and tin potentially entering a "super cycle." However, caution is advised regarding potential risks from US government shutdowns and disappointing earnings from tech giants [10].

Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs Financial Derivatives - **Stock Index Futures**: The market's support has further increased. Although the wide - based ETFs linked to the CSI 300 Index saw an increase in trading volume again, the stock index remained in the positive territory for most of the time, indicating enhanced market confidence. The sharp rise in the precious metals and non - ferrous sectors created a significant profit - making effect, and the market sentiment was stable. It is expected that the market will continue to fluctuate upwards. [21][23] - **Treasury Bond Futures**: The market's incremental information remains limited. The central bank's net injection of short - term liquidity led to a narrow - range fluctuation in the market's capital. The bond market sentiment was fair, and the futures bonds closed with small overall gains. In the short term, the risk of the medium - and short - term is controllable, but the odds of going long are low. The long - term yield may also be difficult to continue to decline smoothly.
