1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The sentiment in the precious metals market has cooled down due to the easing of geopolitical tensions and tariff expectations. The copper market is expected to experience short - term shock adjustments due to tight copper ore supply, relatively strong LME spot, and relatively surplus refined copper supply. The aluminum market has support in the short - term due to high US aluminum spot premiums, low LME aluminum inventories, and expected improvement in demand. The casting aluminum alloy is expected to be in shock consolidation due to strong cost support and general demand. The lead and zinc markets will follow the ebb of the non - ferrous metal sector to give back some gains, but the non - ferrous metal sector is still considered bullish in the medium - term. The tin market may fluctuate due to marginal improvement in supply and demand and short - term inventory accumulation. The nickel market is expected to have a wide - range shock. The lithium carbonate market has a rebound, but there are risks of correction. The alumina market is recommended to wait and see due to over - capacity and cost support decline.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Trump's expectation of imposing tariffs on key minerals weakens, and the US plans to impose tariffs on 8 European countries, causing the equity market to weaken and market sentiment to cool. In the copper industry, the supply of copper mines remains tight, the LME market spot is relatively strong but North American inventories are increasing marginally, and the supply of refined copper is relatively surplus. Therefore, copper prices are expected to fluctuate and adjust in the short term [3][4]. - Tensions between Europe and the US have weakened market sentiment. However, the high premium of US aluminum spot and the low global LME aluminum inventory at multi - year lows limit the downward space of aluminum prices. Although high prices still affect domestic downstream demand, as prices decline, downstream inventory replenishment is expected to increase, and with the "rush to export" expectation in the photovoltaic industry, aluminum prices still have support in the short term [4][5]. - The cost of cast aluminum alloy is relatively strong, and supply - side disturbances continue, providing strong price support. However, demand is relatively average, so prices are expected to fluctuate and consolidate in the short term [8][9]. - The visible inventory of lead concentrates is declining, the operating rate of primary lead remains high and is further slightly adjusted upwards, the raw material inventory of the secondary lead end is rising, and the weekly operating rate of secondary lead is marginally adjusted upwards. The supply of lead ingots is increasing marginally, the operating rate of downstream battery enterprises is marginally improving, and the social inventory of lead ingots is marginally accumulating. Lead prices have given back some gains as the sentiment in the non - ferrous sector fades, but the non - ferrous sector is still bullish in the medium term during the double - loose cycle, and the subsequent trends of leading varieties in the sector and the Shanghai - London ratio need to be observed [11][12][13]. - The port inventory of zinc ore has slightly declined, and the imported TC of zinc concentrates has slightly declined. Although the rise in zinc prices has slightly increased zinc smelting profits, the industrial situation has not significantly improved. The social inventory of zinc ingots has started to accumulate, and the Shanghai - London ratio has stagnated and declined. Zinc prices still have a large room for catch - up compared with copper and aluminum. Zinc prices have given back some gains as the sentiment in the non - ferrous sector fades, but the non - ferrous sector is still bullish in the double - loose cycle, and the subsequent trends of leading varieties in the sector and the Shanghai - London ratio need to be observed [14][15]. - The supply - demand situation of tin has marginally improved, but the short - term inventory accumulation trend may continue to put pressure on prices. Coupled with the withdrawal of speculative funds, tin prices may fluctuate. It is recommended to wait and see. [16][17][18] - Although there is an expectation of an increase in refined nickel production in January, it has not been continuously reflected in the visible inventory. It is expected that Shanghai nickel will still fluctuate widely in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see [19]. - The progress of mine type changes in two lithium mines in Jiangxi has been made, but the market is more worried about the reduction of mica ore mining due to compliance issues. The main contract of lithium carbonate hit the daily limit at the end of the session. The uncertainty of the mine end is strong in the short term, and the expectation of supply contraction has not been falsified. Market sentiment fluctuates greatly. It is recommended to wait and see or make a light - position attempt [21][22]. - After the rainy season, the shipments from Guinea are gradually recovering, and the AXIS mine is resuming production. Ore prices are expected to fluctuate downward. The over - capacity pattern in the alumina smelting end is difficult to change in the short term, and the inventory accumulation trend continues. Although the market's expectation of supply contraction policies is increasing, there are still three difficulties for continuous rebound. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [24][25]. - The supply of nickel ore in Indonesia is expected to remain tight, and market sentiment is optimistic. Stainless steel shows a trend of increasing volume and price. The supply of raw materials is restricted, the production scheduling of many mainstream steel mills has slowed down, and market arrivals are tight. Although price increases have stimulated some traders to stock up, end - users' acceptance of high prices is limited. In the short term, the market is expected to remain strong, and prices may show a high - level fluctuation pattern [27][28]. 3.

The resumption of production in Wa State, Myanmar, was accelerating, and the rise in tin prices increased the enthusiasm for resumption of production. In December, it was estimated that about 5,000 tons of tin ore would be imported, and the raw material shortage in Yunnan had been significantly alleviated compared with the previous period, with an expected increase in subsequent imports. However, after the two regions recovered from maintenance, there was insufficient upward momentum, and there were both constraints on the scrap end and high - price wait - and - see attitudes from downstream.
