1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No investment ratings were provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Aluminum - The current oversupply situation in the aluminum market has not been substantially reversed. Short - term strategy is to maintain a bearish view on rallies. For long - term, the global supply growth elasticity is limited, and the long - term bullish logic remains valid. The short - term aluminum price will fluctuate widely with macro - sentiment and geopolitical news, with the Shanghai Aluminum main contract expected to trade between 23,000 - 25,000 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum Alloy - The short - term raw material cost at a high level strongly supports the ADC12 price, but the demand follows slowly and the negative feedback effect of high prices is emerging. The market is expected to continue the high - level shock pattern, with the main contract reference range of 22,000 - 23,500 yuan/ton [2]. Copper - In the short - term, the copper price is in an adjustment phase. The supply - demand fundamentals have improved and the inventory pressure has weakened. The medium - to - long - term logic of copper supply - demand contradiction has not changed significantly. The short - term adjustment may provide an opportunity for long - term long positions, but the price is still suppressed before the market risk appetite recovers significantly. The main focus is on the pressure around 97,000 - 98,000 yuan/ton [3]. Zinc - In the context of supply improvement, high inventory, and limited macro - bullish factors, the zinc price is under short - term pressure. It is recommended to pay attention to the zinc ore TC, marginal changes in demand, and macro - indicators, with the main focus on the support around 22,000 - 22,500 yuan/ton [5]. Nickel - The news of Indonesia's export tax has a short - term positive impact on sentiment. The macro - expectation is volatile. The contradiction in the raw material end supports the price, but the insufficient digestion of actual inventory is a constraint. The disk is expected to run in a strong range, with the main contract reference range of 134,000 - 142,000 yuan/ton [7]. Stainless Steel - Recently, the cost logic of stainless steel is strong. The news fermentation and the tight raw material end in reality provide support. The steel mill production has increased significantly, and the demand is gradually recovering but the terminal acceptance is still weak. It is expected to maintain a strong shock in the short - term, with the main contract reference range of 14,200 - 14,800 yuan/ton [10]. Lithium Carbonate - The war expectation is volatile, and the macro - sentiment has weakened again. The fundamentals are resilient but the marginal driving force is weakening. The mine - end disturbance still has room for fermentation, and the bottom support is still strong. It is expected to maintain range - bound fluctuations in the short - term, with the main contract reference range of 150,000 - 160,000 yuan/ton [12]. Tin - The US - Iran conflict is at a stalemate, and the market risk - aversion sentiment has resurfaced, causing the tin price to fall. The medium - to - long - term bullish logic still exists. If there are signs of the conflict ending, long positions can be established on dips [14]. Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon is facing the pressure of oversupply with expected production growth. The cost end strongly supports the bottom. It is expected to oscillate around 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton. It is necessary to pay attention to production control, environmental protection, and cost - end fluctuations [15]. Polysilicon - The polysilicon market is oversupplied, and the price is expected to continue to fall. The market sentiment tends to trade for market - clearing, and the price is expected to fall towards the lowest cash cost. It is recommended to wait and see for now [17]. 3.
