1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Reports Copper - Copper pricing has returned to macro trading. With the US economy weakening, copper prices face pressure on the upside under weak economic expectations. However, based on the Sam Rule, the market has not entered a recession narrative, and the downside space is also difficult to open. In the medium - to - long - term, supply - demand contradictions provide bottom support. In the short term, copper prices are expected to fluctuate within a range, with the main contract referring to 78,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the US economic fundamentals data in August [1]. Aluminum - For alumina, short - term supply disturbances and long - term overcapacity will continue to compete. It is expected that the main contract price will fluctuate widely between 3,000 - 3,400 yuan/ton this week, and it is recommended to short at high prices in the medium term. - For aluminum, under the pressure of inventory accumulation expectations, weak demand, and macro disturbances, the short - term price is expected to remain under pressure at high levels. The main contract price this week is expected to be between 20,000 - 21,000 yuan/ton. Follow up on inventory changes and marginal demand changes [4].

Zinc - The basic situation of loose supply and weak demand provides insufficient support for continuous upward movement of zinc prices, but low inventory levels provide price support. In the short term, zinc prices are expected to fluctuate, with the main contract referring to 22,000 - 23,000 yuan/ton [11]. Tin - The US inflation slowdown and stronger interest - rate cut expectations drive tin prices to be relatively strong. If the supply recovers smoothly, a short - at - high strategy is recommended; if the supply recovery is less than expected, tin prices are expected to continue to oscillate at high levels [14]. Nickel - The mid - term supply is expected to remain loose, restricting the upside space for prices. In the short term, the market is expected to adjust within a range, with the main contract referring to 120,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to changes in macro expectations [16]. Stainless Steel - The sentiment has improved, and cost support has strengthened, but the fundamentals are still restricted by weak spot demand. In the short term, the market is expected to oscillate strongly, with the main contract running between 13,000 - 13,500 yuan/ton. Follow up on policy trends and supply - demand rhythms [18]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices are expected to fluctuate widely in a relatively strong range, with the main contract referring to 80,000 - 90,000 yuan/ton.
