Investor Sentiment - There is a growing recognition among investors regarding the investment opportunities in the silver market, particularly as the dollar weakens and expectations rise for further Federal Reserve rate cuts [4]. - The influx of funds into silver-tracking ETFs indicates increased investor interest [4].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - In the medium - to long - term, central bank gold purchases and growing investment demand will push up the price of precious metals [3]. - The potential end of the US government shutdown and the weakening labor market indicators have increased the market's expectation of a December interest rate cut, weakening the US dollar index and boosting copper prices. Meanwhile, the average price in the domestic spot market has risen, and the premium has slowed [12]. - For aluminum, funds are the core factor affecting prices. There is a contradiction between funds and the industry, and the upward trend of Shanghai aluminum depends on continuous fund inflows. For alumina, it is still in an oversupply situation [32]. - In November, due to intense competition for zinc ore in the smelting sector and a decrease in TC, the willingness to reduce or halt production has increased. If demand remains stable, there is a possibility of inventory reduction, and zinc prices are expected to have upward momentum [56]. - For the nickel industry chain, weak demand in the off - season suppresses the upward space. The price of nickel ore may remain strong in the short term, while nickel iron prices have been decreasing, and stainless steel faces pressure [72]. - For tin, supply is weaker than demand due to limited resumption of production in Wa State and a sharp decline in concentrate imports. Shanghai tin will maintain high - level volatility, but there is a risk of price decline [87]. - For lithium carbonate, it is currently in a state of being prone to rise but difficult to fall, maintaining a strong - side oscillation, but there is a risk of correction [103]. - For the silicon industry chain, the overall supply - demand pattern of industrial silicon and the polysilicon industry chain is weak, and they are expected to show wide - range oscillations [114].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided about the report industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The copper market shows a neutral performance with prices ranging from 83,000 to 88,000 yuan/ton. The VIX index's rapid rise indicates increased market uncertainty.

Group 1: Gold Market Analysis - The current market is characterized by a "golden age of chaos" and an "industrial revolution," with gold remaining the core choice for de-dollarization and risk aversion [2][13] - As of September 29, 2025, gold prices reached historical highs, with London gold at $3827.37 per ounce and New York gold at $3856.38 per ounce, driven by increased demand for safe-haven assets, shifts in monetary policy, and changes in supply-demand dynamics [3][5] - The significant rise in gold prices, over 42% year-to-date, is attributed to heightened market risk aversion, expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, and geopolitical tensions [5][6] Group 2: Silver Market Analysis - Silver prices have surged, with London silver nearing $44 per ounce, marking a 40% increase year-to-date, driven by a recovery in the gold-silver ratio and strong industrial demand [8][9] - The dual nature of silver as both an industrial and financial asset has contributed to its price increase, particularly in sectors like photovoltaics and renewable energy [8][9] - The silver market is smaller than gold, making it more susceptible to speculative trading, which can lead to significant price volatility [10] Group 3: Copper Market Analysis - Copper prices have recently surpassed $10,000 per ton, with a nearly 20% increase this year, influenced by an expanding supply gap and surging demand from emerging sectors [12][13] - The supply gap is expected to reach 53,000 tons in 2025 and 87,000 tons in 2026, exacerbated by mining disruptions and limited production growth [12] - The structural bull market for copper is driven by long-term demand from green technologies and AI, while supply growth remains constrained [12]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View Last week, crude oil rebounded from a low level. Geopolitical tensions, supply - demand imbalances, and market sentiment all influenced the oil price. The supply gap of OPEC+ supported the oil price, while the increase in Iraqi oil export expectations and other factors brought downward pressure at times. The report suggests short - term trading within the 485 - 505 range and long - term investors to exit long positions on rallies [5][7][8]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Review - **Price Movement**: NYMEX WTI crude futures closed at $65.19 per barrel, up 4.54% for the week; Brent crude futures closed at $68.82 per barrel, up 4.19% for the week; Shanghai crude oil futures closed at 495 yuan per barrel, up 1.64% for the week. Brent crude closed above $70 per barrel on Friday, with a weekly gain of 5.2%, and WTI was close to $66 per barrel [5]. - **Geopolitical Events**: Ukraine attacked Russian ports, paralyzing oil facilities with a daily export capacity of about 2 million barrels. Russia extended its export ban on some energy products. The US pressured Turkey and NATO members to stop buying Russian oil, and the UN may re - impose sanctions on Iran, tightening global supply [5][6]. - **Supply - related News**: Iraq reached an agreement for the central government to receive and export Kurdish - produced oil. OPEC+ has a supply gap of nearly 500,000 barrels per day, mainly due to compensatory cuts and shrinking idle capacity [5][6][7]. - **Fund Positions**: As of the week of September 23, Brent crude futures' speculative net long positions decreased by 11,592 contracts to 220,579 contracts, while WTI crude net long positions increased by 4,249 contracts to 102,958 contracts [5]. 3.2 Related News - Iraq's central government will take over the export of Kurdish - produced oil, aiming to solve the problem of lost fiscal revenue caused by the autonomous export of the Kurdish region [6]. - India asked the US to allow it to buy oil from Iran and Venezuela if it is required to cut Russian oil imports, warning that cutting off supplies from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela could lead to a global oil price spike [6]. 3.3 Outlook - The supply gap of OPEC+ supports the upward movement of oil prices. Saudi Arabia may increase sales to make up for potential revenue losses and prove that other OPEC+ members' idle capacity is lower than expected [7]. - There is a risk that the US government may shut down before the National Day holiday in the Chinese domestic market, and investors should control their positions [7]. 3.4 Fundamental Data - **Spot Prices**: The prices of various crude oil varieties showed different changes. For example, the price of UK Brent Dtd increased by 0.65 to 64.28, with a growth rate of 1.02% [11]. - **Inventory Data**: The Cushing inventory and EIA inventory showed different trends over time.
