Core Views of the Report - The precious metals market has attracted significant capital inflows, with gold having long - term strategic allocation value, and silver having a high - probability of continued bullish trends in the long run. Copper is expected to be strong in the short - term and promising in the long - term. Zinc is under pressure in the short - term and has a supply - increase and demand - decrease situation in the long - term. Aluminum, nickel, and other metals show different short - term price trends, and lithium carbonate supply remains tight [1][2][5]. 3. Summaries by Related Catalogs Gold and Silver - **Market situation**: Precious metals have witnessed large capital inflows, reaching new highs. The "crazy rise" of silver, platinum, and palladium is driven by supply - demand imbalance, Fed rate - cut expectations, and capital inflows [2]. - **Influencing factors**: US policy data is mixed, the Bank of Japan's interest - rate hike is in line with expectations, and there are concerns about structural supply and inventory shortages. Silver's financial attribute is the strongest, and the risk of a short squeeze may be repeatedly traded [2]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Long - term value - oriented positions in gold should be held, and short - term attention should be paid to the 955 support level of domestic gold. For silver, beware of high - volatility risks as the gold - silver ratio has entered an ultra - low range [2]. Copper - **Market situation**: The global copper concentrate supply remains tight, and copper prices are high. The high price suppresses demand, and the market trading is light. COMEX copper continues to draw in global copper inventories, and the market is rumored that the US plans to hoard copper [3][4]. - **Influencing factors**: The Fed's new chairman selection is intense, and the probability of a 25bp rate cut in January has increased. The market liquidity is abundant, and the non - ferrous sector is generally rising [4]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Hold long positions in copper, and use price corrections as opportunities to build positions. In the short - term, focus on the range of 92,500 - 96,500 yuan/ton for Shanghai copper and 11,400 - 12,200 dollars/ton for London copper [5]. Zinc - **Market situation**: Domestic zinc concentrate processing fees are flat, some high - cost smelters' losses are expanding, and supply is expected to shrink. Consumption has entered the off - season, and both supply and demand are weak in the short - term. Overseas LME zinc inventory has a large - scale delivery, suppressing the upside space of zinc prices [7][8]. - **Influencing factors**: The end - of - year macro environment at home and abroad enters a window period, and overseas zinc inventory delivery suppresses prices [8]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Enterprises are advised to actively conduct sell - hedging and build positions at high prices. In the long - term, zinc is still a short - position allocation in the sector. Focus on the range of 22,800 - 23,200 yuan/ton for Shanghai zinc and 3,000 - 3,100 dollars/ton for London zinc [9]. Aluminum - **Market situation**: Aluminum prices rebound and then decline, and alumina stabilizes at a low level. The inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots is rising, and the inventory of aluminum rods is falling. The downstream processing enterprise operating rate is decreasing, and the terminal market shows structural differentiation [10][12]. - **Influencing factors**: The Fed cut interest rates at the end of the year, and the cost of aluminum enterprises in southwest China is expected to increase due to the approaching dry season. Overseas alumina production is increasing, and the market surplus pattern continues [12]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Take short - term profit - taking on Shanghai aluminum and then wait and see, paying attention to the change direction of aluminum ingot social inventory. The main operating range is 21,500 - 22,500 yuan/ton [13]. Nickel - **Market situation**: Nickel prices continue to rebound, and stainless steel also shows a rebound trend. Indonesia has reduced its nickel ore production target, and the inventory at home and abroad remains high. The stainless steel market has entered the off - season, and the inventory is slightly increasing [14][16]. - **Influencing factors**: Indonesia's policy adjustment affects the supply of nickel ore, and the off - season consumption suppresses the demand for stainless steel [16]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Take short - term profit - taking on nickel and stainless steel and then wait and see, paying attention to the change in stainless steel inventory. The main operating range of nickel is 118,000 - 123,000 yuan/ton [17]. Lithium Carbonate - **Market situation**: The main contract LC2605 of lithium carbonate opens low and goes high, reaching a new high this year. The trading volume and open interest have increased, and the price is running strongly [18][19]. - **Influencing factors**: There are many positive news in the week, which stimulates speculative sentiment. The supply has a slight increase, and the demand from downstream material factories remains high, with inventory showing a slight decline [20]. - **Strategy recommendation**: Take profit on long positions in the range of 110,000 - 117,000 yuan/ton [21].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Gold: Long - term holding [1] - Silver: Long - term holding [1] - Copper: Long - term holding [1] - Zinc: Bearish [1] - Lead: Bearish [1] - Tin: Rebound under pressure [1] - Aluminum: Rebound under pressure [1] - Nickel: Low - level rebound [1] - Industrial silicon: Range - bound [1] - Polysilicon: High - level range - bound [1] - Lithium carbonate: High - level range - bound [1] Core Views - The report analyzes various metals including precious metals, base metals, and new energy metals. It assesses their market conditions based on macro - economic data, industry supply - demand relationships, and geopolitical factors, and provides corresponding investment strategies [1] Summary by Related Catalogs Gold and Silver - **Market condition**: US data and Fed officials' statements support rate cuts, and the Russia - Ukraine peace agreement is agreed upon, providing long - term support for gold. Silver has high elasticity and is favored by liquidity in 2025, with a significant increase of over 70% [1][2][3] - **Logic**: US economic data such as core PPI and retail sales support rate cuts; Fed officials advocate rate cuts; the Russia - Ukraine negotiation makes progress; in the long run, gold benefits from global monetary easing, the decline of the US dollar's credit, and geopolitical restructuring [2][3] - **Strategy**: Long - term value allocation positions can be held, short - term trading should be cautious. Pay attention to the support level of domestic gold at 920 and silver at around 11500 [3] Copper - **Market condition**: The game between long and short is intense, with copper showing an external - strong and internal - weak pattern. Overnight, Shanghai copper rose first and then fell [4][5] - **Logic**: The global supply of copper concentrates remains tight, and the TC of copper concentrates has declined. In October, China's imported copper concentrates increased year - on - year, but the production of electrolytic copper decreased. The global visible copper inventory is at a high level, with strong demand in the power and automotive sectors and weak demand in real estate and infrastructure [5] - **Strategy**: Do not chase high prices. Buy on dips during corrections. In the medium and long term, be bullish on copper. Pay attention to the range of Shanghai copper at [85500, 87500] yuan/ton and LME copper at [10500, 11000] US dollars/ton [6] Zinc - **Market condition**: Zinc is under pressure and weak due to weak demand in the off - season [7] - **Logic**: The supply of zinc concentrates is short - term tight, the processing fee of domestic zinc concentrates has declined, and the profit of refined zinc enterprises is in deficit. In October, the production of refined zinc increased but was lower than expected. Consumption has entered the off - season, the domestic zinc ingot export window is open, and the LME zinc inventory has increased, alleviating the soft squeeze risk [8] - **Strategy**: In the short term, zinc is under pressure and weak. In the medium and long term, supply increases while demand decreases. Maintain the view of shorting on rebounds. Pay attention to the range of Shanghai zinc at [22000, 22500] and LME zinc at [2950, 3050] US dollars/ton [9] Aluminum - **Market condition**: Aluminum prices face pressure during rebounds, and alumina shows a weak trend at a low level [10][11] - **Logic**: The expectation of a Fed rate cut at the end of the year is strengthened. Overseas electrolytic aluminum plants have cut production and are expected to continue to cut production next March. The inventory of domestic electrolytic aluminum ingots is stable, and the inventory of aluminum rods has decreased. The demand shows a structural differentiation. The supply of overseas bauxite is expected to increase, and the alumina market remains in an oversupply situation [12] - **Strategy**: Short on rallies for Shanghai aluminum in the short term. Pay attention to the change direction of the social inventory of aluminum ingots, with the main operating range at [21000 - 21600] [13] Nickel - **Market condition**: Nickel prices rebound, and stainless steel shows a slight rebound [14][15] - **Logic**: The expectation of a Fed rate cut at the end of the year is strengthened. Indonesia plans to lower the nickel production target in 2026, and some smelters may cut production. The global refined nickel inventory has reached a five - year high. The terminal consumption of stainless steel has weakened, and there is a risk of inventory accumulation [16] - **Strategy**: Take profit on dips for nickel and stainless steel and then wait and see. Pay attention to the inventory changes of downstream stainless steel, with the main operating range of nickel at [116000 - 119000] [17] Lithium Carbonate - **Market condition**: The main contract LC2601 opened low and went high, with reduced positions and an increase of over 4% [18][19] - **Logic**: The total inventory has declined for 14 consecutive weeks, with upstream inventory further reduced and downstream inventory actively reduced to a reasonable range, but there is obvious inventory accumulation in the trader segment. The production enthusiasm of lithium salt plants has increased, and the terminal demand remains strong. However, the sales growth rate of new energy vehicles has slowed down [20] - **Strategy**: Pay attention to the pressure at the gap, and take profit on long positions in a timely manner within the range of [92800 - 97000] [21]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Gold: High-level decline, strategic allocation value remains unchanged in the medium to long term [1] - Silver: High-level decline, long-term bullish after stabilization [1] - Copper: Long-term holding, short-term profit-taking [1] - Zinc: Rebound, short-term upside limited, medium to long-term bearish [1] - Lead: Rebound under pressure [1] - Tin: Rebound [1] - Aluminum: Relatively strong [1] - Nickel: Rebound and then decline [1] - Industrial Silicon: Range-bound operation [1] - Polysilicon: Bullish [1] - Lithium Carbonate: Bullish [1] Core Views - The report analyzes the market trends of various non-ferrous metals and new energy metals, including gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, tin, aluminum, nickel, industrial silicon, polysilicon, and lithium carbonate. It provides insights into the short-term and long-term price trends, as well as investment strategies for each metal [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Gold and Silver - **Market Situation**: Due to the easing of Sino-US relations and the reduction of risk aversion, the prices of gold and silver have significantly adjusted. In the short term, risk assets have risen sharply, leading to an obvious outflow of funds from safe-haven gold and silver. However, in the long term, gold is expected to benefit from global monetary easing, the decline of the US dollar's credit, and the reconstruction of the geopolitical pattern, potentially maintaining a long-term upward trend [2][3][4]. - **Investment Strategy**: In the short term, pay attention to the support levels of gold and silver. For domestic gold, focus on the 900 support level, and for silver, focus on the effectiveness of the 11000 support level. Long-term value investors should continue to hold their positions [4]. Copper - **Market Situation**: The price of copper has reached a new high this year, but it has given back some of its gains overnight. The market has fully priced in the optimistic expectations of the Fed's interest rate cut and the easing of Sino-US relations. In the short term, downstream demand is suppressed by high prices, and social inventories have increased. However, in the long term, copper is expected to benefit from the shortage of copper concentrates and the booming demand for green copper [5][6][7]. - **Investment Strategy**: Short-term long positions should be moved to take profits, and investors should avoid blindly chasing high prices. Long-term strategic long positions should be held, and industrial hedging should consider adding option protection. In the short term, the price of Shanghai copper is expected to trade in the range of 86000 - 90000 yuan/ton, and the price of London copper is expected to trade in the range of 10600 - 11200 US dollars/ton [7]. Zinc - **Market Situation**: Zinc prices have continued to rebound, but overall demand is weak, and long-term supply is relatively loose. The silver ten peak season has not been prosperous, and demand is under pressure. The domestic zinc ingot export window has opened, and domestic inventories have slightly increased, while overseas LME zinc inventories are at risk of a soft squeeze [8][9][10]. - **Investment Strategy**: In the short term, the upside space may be limited after the short-term macro policy stimulus fades. Pay attention to the breakthrough of the two resistance levels at 22500 and 22800. In the medium to long term, zinc is expected to have an increase in supply and a decrease in demand, remaining a short position in the sector. The price of Shanghai zinc is expected to trade in the range of 22200 - 22800 yuan/ton, and the price of London zinc is expected to trade in the range of 2980 - 3080 US dollars/ton [10]. Aluminum - **Market Situation**: Aluminum prices have continued to rise, and the price of alumina has stabilized. The operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum has reached a high level, and domestic inventories have decreased. The demand side is relatively stable, and the downstream processing enterprise's operating rate has remained flat [11][12][13]. - **Investment Strategy**: It is recommended to buy on dips in the short term, paying attention to the changes in the operating rate of downstream processing enterprises. The main operating range of Shanghai aluminum is expected to be between 21000 - 21800 yuan/ton [14]. Nickel - **Market Situation**: Nickel prices have rebounded under pressure, and stainless steel prices have also rebounded. Overseas, the supply of nickel ore has become relatively stable, and domestic pure nickel inventories have continued to accumulate. The terminal consumption of stainless steel is in the peak season, but the performance is average, and the market is under pressure to destock [15][16][17]. - **Investment Strategy**: It is recommended to wait and see for the time being, paying attention to the improvement of downstream consumption. The main operating range of nickel is expected to be between 120000 - 123000 yuan/ton [18]. Lithium Carbonate - **Market Situation**: The price of lithium carbonate has shown a relatively strong trend. The fundamental situation has improved significantly, with total inventories decreasing for 10 consecutive weeks and the destocking rhythm accelerating after the holiday. Although the supply side continues to grow, the production in Sichuan has decreased slightly due to the shortage of domestic lithium spodumene, while the incremental contribution from the ramping up of salt lake production capacity. Terminal demand remains strong, and the production schedule for November is still relatively high [19][20][21]. - **Investment Strategy**: Long positions should be held, and investors can consider adding positions on pullbacks. The price of the main contract LC2601 is expected to trade in the range of 81000 - 84000 yuan/ton [21][22].
