当"弱美元"为一切买单变得"深入人心" 9 月以来全球资产价格的表现是建立在"弱美元"的叙事逻辑之上。权益市场来看，全球股市上涨且体现为"新兴市 场＞发达市场"，这一交易特征延续至国庆期间。对全球经济周期和美元指数高度敏感的国家/地区在 9 月实现更高的 股价涨幅，而韩国与巴西更获得了 AI 扩散与有色金属矿业两大逻辑的分别加持；与此同时，中国资产并未对自身基 本面乐观或者悲观，更多是与美元走弱下的全球资产引发共振。商品市场来看，以黄金、白银为代表的贵金属成为本 轮美元走弱下的最强板块，并共同跑赢以铜为代表的工业金属。而进入 10 月后"弱美元"的交易开始出现了一些新 的线索：全球股票市场看①美股市场上罗素 2000 同时跑赢标普 500 和纳指；②发达市场（除美国）跑赢美股；商品 来看，10 月开始白银和铜为代表的拥有工业属性更强的品种价格上涨的弹性优于黄金。值得一提的是，尽管市场共识 美元走弱的金属属性是有色金属的主要驱动，但当下以铜为代表的工业金属供需偏紧，一旦出现需求修复，反而更可 能成为上涨弹性更高的品种。但值得我们思考的是，当前市场对于做空美元的共识高度一致，大部分资产都在这一逻 辑下创下近期的新 ...

Group 1 - The core objective of recent policies by the Trump administration is to alleviate U.S. fiscal pressure, as evidenced by the significant increase in interest payments on national debt from $432.6 billion in FY2016 to nearly $1.13 trillion by FY2025 [1][5][9] - The administration's push for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is aimed at reducing debt servicing costs, which have increased by approximately $700 billion since Trump's first term [1][7][9] - Despite the Fed's rate cuts potentially saving around $412 billion to $1.93 trillion in interest payments, this is insufficient to cover the existing fiscal gap of about $400 billion, prompting the administration to seek additional revenue sources [2][15][19] Group 2 - The Trump administration's policies, including the "Gold Card" initiative and increased H1B fees, are part of a broader strategy to generate revenue and address the fiscal shortfall [15][17] - The relationship between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve has deteriorated, with the administration advocating for monetary policy to support fiscal needs, which may undermine the Fed's independence and affect the credibility of the U.S. dollar [2][17][19] - As a result of these policies, capital is expected to flow out of the U.S., benefiting non-U.S. assets such as precious metals and Chinese assets, as the dollar's creditworthiness is likely to weaken [3][19][21] Group 3 - The anticipated decline in interest rates and the weakening of the dollar may lead to increased investment in non-U.S. markets, particularly in Chinese assets, as the yuan is expected to appreciate due to narrowing interest rate differentials [3][19][21] - The Chinese capital market is expected to benefit from these trends, with a solid long-term upward trajectory supported by favorable domestic policies and the ongoing global shift towards non-U.S. assets [21][22][23] - The current geopolitical landscape and the strategic positioning of China in global markets are likely to enhance investor confidence and risk appetite, further supporting the A-share market [21][22][23]

Core Viewpoint - The recent policies of the Trump administration, including tariff wars, interest rate cuts, and the "Gold Card" plan, are primarily aimed at alleviating U.S. fiscal pressure, despite appearing disorganized on the surface [1][6][19]. Group 1: Fiscal Pressure and Policy Responses - The U.S. government's interest expenditure has increased significantly, from $432.6 billion in FY 2016 to nearly $1.13 trillion by FY 2025, indicating a rise of approximately $700 billion [1][8]. - The Trump administration has attempted to address this fiscal gap through various measures, including tariffs, which are expected to generate around $200 billion in additional revenue, and other cost-saving initiatives [9][19]. - Despite these efforts, there remains a funding gap of about $400 billion that needs to be addressed [9][19]. Group 2: Impact of Interest Rate Cuts - The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts are projected to save the government between $41.2 billion and $193.1 billion in interest expenditures, depending on the extent of the cuts [16][17]. - Even with aggressive rate cuts, the savings are insufficient to cover the existing fiscal shortfall, prompting the Trump administration to seek additional revenue sources [19][21]. Group 3: Currency and Asset Implications - The push for lower interest rates and the potential weakening of the U.S. dollar may lead to capital flowing out of the U.S., benefiting non-U.S. assets such as precious metals and cryptocurrencies [3][21]. - The anticipated appreciation of the Chinese yuan, driven by narrowing interest rate differentials, could attract foreign investment into Chinese markets, following a three-step process starting with Hong Kong stocks [3][23]. Group 4: Long-term Market Outlook - The current macroeconomic environment suggests that A-shares in China are likely to maintain a long-term upward trend, supported by China's competitive advantages and favorable capital market policies [25][26]. - The ongoing geopolitical dynamics and the strategic shift in China's approach to international relations may enhance investor confidence and risk appetite, further supporting the Chinese capital market [26][27].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The basic metals are expected to maintain an oscillatory upward pattern in the short - to - medium term, supported by a weak US dollar and supply disruptions, while the weak terminal demand will limit the upside. In the long term, potential domestic stimulus policies and supply disruptions in copper, aluminum, and tin support the prices of basic metals. Opportunities for low - buying and long - holding in copper, aluminum, and tin are recommended [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1行情观点 - **Copper**: Grasberg copper mine has a large production cut, and copper prices are operating strongly. The reduction in Grasberg's production intensifies the supply shortage, and with the Fed's interest rate cut and the approaching peak demand season, if copper inventories continue to decline, copper prices may remain strong [7][8]. - **Alumina**: Affected by anti - involution sentiment, alumina prices have a slight rebound. The fundamentals show an over - supply situation, but the limited decline in ore prices restricts the downside. It is expected to maintain a low - level oscillatory pattern in the short term [9][10]. - **Aluminum**: Attention should be paid to the demand quality, and aluminum prices are oscillating. After the interest rate cut, the supply is increasing with new capacity, and the demand is expected to improve, but the inventory accumulation continues. The price is expected to oscillate in the short term and may rise in the medium term [11][12]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: Cost support remains, and the market is oscillating. The cost reduction space is limited, the supply and demand are marginally improving, and short - term price oscillation is expected. There are opportunities for cross - variety arbitrage [13][16]. - **Zinc**: The expectation of supply - demand surplus is still strong, and zinc prices are weak. Macro factors support the non - ferrous sector, but the supply is increasing and the demand is average. Zinc prices may oscillate in the short term and decline in the long term [16][17]. - **Lead**: The supply of recycled lead is decreasing, and lead prices are oscillating strongly. With the approaching of the National Day, downstream enterprises are stocking up, while the supply of recycled lead is tight. The price is expected to oscillate strongly before the holiday [18][20]. - **Nickel**: LME nickel inventory has exceeded 230,000 tons, and nickel prices are oscillating widely. The market sentiment dominates the price, and the industrial fundamentals are weakening. Short - term wide - range oscillation is expected [21][23]. - **Stainless Steel**: Warehouse receipts are continuously decreasing, and stainless steel prices are oscillating. The prices of nickel and chromium are stable, and the supply is increasing. Attention should be paid to the demand during the peak season and the inventory change [26]. - **Tin**: Supply constraints still exist, and tin prices are oscillating. The supply is tight, but the terminal demand is weakening. The price is expected to oscillate with strong bottom support [27][28]. 3.2行情监测 - Not provided with specific monitoring content in the given text

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for cast aluminum alloy is "Oscillation" [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The coexistence of the off - peak season during the supposed peak period and cost support is expected to lead to an oscillatory trend in the market. The price of remelted aluminum alloy ingots showed a weak and oscillatory performance last week. Macroeconomic factors, cost, and inventory conditions will jointly affect the price trend of ADC12, with the price expected to oscillate. One - sided trading can consider lightly - weighted long positions on dips, and the existing arbitrage positions can be held with appropriate stop - profit settings [1][2][3] 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1. 1. Waste Aluminum: Arrival Marginally Recovers but Remains Low, Price Oscillates at High Levels - Last week (09/15 - 09/19), the price of remelted aluminum alloy ingots oscillated weakly. The closing price of AD2511 decreased by 1.6% week - on - week to 20,325 yuan/ton, and the sales price of Baotai Group's ADC12 dropped by 200 yuan/ton to 20,400 yuan/ton.

The supply shortage of waste aluminum persists, especially for crushed primary aluminum. The operating rate of leading recycled aluminum enterprises continued to rise, but the peak - season expectations are difficult to fulfill, and the continuous increase in the operating rate may not be sustainable. The supply - demand game of waste aluminum will remain intense, and the price is expected to oscillate at high levels in the short term [15] 3.2. 2. Recent Industry News Review - In July 2025, the global primary aluminum supply was short of 11.99 tons, and from January to July 2025, the supply shortage was 98.53 tons [18] - In August, the PMI of the aluminum processing industry was 53.3%, showing an improvement from the off - season to the peak season. Primary alloys expanded steadily, while recycled alloys were still below the boom - bust line [19] - In July 2025, China's waste aluminum imports increased by 18.7% year - on - year, with Thailand and Japan being the major suppliers [19] - Four ministries and commissions jointly issued a notice to regulate investment promotion behaviors, including rectifying illegal fiscal rebates and subsidies [19][20] - The US expanded the scope of a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports, including hundreds of derivative products [20] 3.3. 3. Key High - Frequency Data Monitoring of the Industrial Chain 3.3.1. 3.1 Waste Aluminum: Arrival Marginally Recovers, Price Remains High - This week, waste aluminum prices remained high but declined week - on - week, mainly due to the weakening of primary aluminum prices. The supply shortage of waste aluminum persists, especially for crushed primary aluminum. The operating rate of leading recycled aluminum enterprises continued to rise, but the peak - season expectations are difficult to fulfill, and the continuous increase in the operating rate may not be sustainable. The supply - demand game of waste aluminum will remain intense, and the price is expected to oscillate at high levels in the short term [15] 3.3.2. 3.2 ADC12: Price is Strong, Social Inventory is High - The price of cast aluminum alloy futures oscillated weakly this week, with a 1.6% decline. The sales price of Baotai's ADC12 decreased by 200 yuan/ton to 20,400 yuan/ton. The ADC12 - A00 spread marginally narrowed. After entering the traditional peak season, the market performance was below expectations, and the social inventory of ADC12 continued to rise. The production of standard warehouse receipts for cast aluminum alloy futures will start on September 22nd. The pre - holiday inventory - building demand is expected to provide short - term support for the spot price, and the trading activity of ADC12 in the trading segment increased this week due to the strengthening of the basis. The social inventory of aluminum alloy ingots continued to rise to 7.14 tons, and the factory - level inventory increased by 0.03 tons to 6.08 tons [16] 3.3.3. 3.3 Downstream: Peak - Season Expectations are Difficult to Fulfill - The high - frequency data of new - energy vehicles showed signs of weakening, and the peak - season expectations for the downstream industry are difficult to fulfill. The production and sales data of the automotive and motorcycle industries are presented in the report, reflecting the current situation of the downstream demand [2][60][66]

Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating was provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - After the Fed's expected interest rate cut, the US dollar rebounded and demand was weak, causing the non - ferrous metals to give back recent gains. In the medium and short term, the weak US dollar and supply disruptions support prices, while weak terminal demand expectations limit the upside. It is expected that basic metals will generally maintain a pattern of oscillating upward. In the long term, the expectation of potential incremental stimulus policies in China and supply disruptions in copper, aluminum, and tin support the prices of basic metals [2]. Summary by Variety Copper - **Viewpoint**: After the Fed's interest rate cut, copper prices had a phased decline. In the medium term, it is expected to be oscillating and slightly stronger. - **Analysis**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September 2025. Freeport - McMoRan's Indonesian mine suspended operations. In August, SMM China's electrolytic copper production decreased slightly month - on - month but increased year - on - year. The spot premium of electrolytic copper rebounded, and copper inventories increased. The "770 - Document" led to production cuts in the recycled copper market. - **Logic**: Macro - wise, the market's optimistic sentiment declined after the interest rate cut. On the supply side, mine supply disruptions increased, and recycled copper production cuts were expected. On the demand side, the peak season had arrived, but inventory reduction was not obvious. - **Outlook**: Copper supply constraints remain, and with increased supply disruptions and a low - level US dollar index, copper is expected to show an oscillating and slightly stronger pattern [8][9].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the ongoing depreciation of the US dollar in 2023, attributing it to various factors including high US fiscal deficits, changes in Federal Reserve policies, and concerns over the safety of dollar assets, leading to a shift in global capital flows towards emerging markets, particularly Chinese assets [3][4]. Group 1: Reasons for the Weak Dollar - Trump's interference with the Federal Reserve's independence and promotion of reciprocal tariffs has triggered a crisis of confidence in the dollar, undermining its institutional trust [5]. - The "weak dollar" policy is a strategic tool for Trump to stimulate manufacturing and export competitiveness, sacrificing some short-term dollar credibility for long-term goals [5]. - The trend of "de-dollarization" has become mainstream, with significant increases in foreign exchange derivatives hedging demand and a rise in dollar short positions among global investors [6][7]. Group 2: Impact of Weak Dollar on Emerging Markets - Historical data shows that during periods of dollar depreciation, emerging markets, including China, tend to perform well, indicating a negative correlation between the dollar index and emerging market indices [13][15]. - The A-share market benefits from a relatively stable or appreciating RMB during weak dollar periods, attracting foreign capital inflows [15][18]. Group 3: Investment Themes in a Weak Dollar Environment - Investment opportunities in Chinese assets include: - Technology growth assets, which are expected to gain value during weak dollar periods, with a focus on long-term growth and scarcity [20]. - Hong Kong stocks, benefiting from global liquidity and domestic profit improvements [20]. - Dividend and low-valuation sectors such as banking and insurance, which are attractive in a high-low market switch [20]. - Funds related to physical assets like copper, gold, and oil, which are prioritized during weak dollar cycles [20]. - Overall, the weak dollar represents not only a current market reality but also a long-term logic for global capital reallocation and institutional credit reassessment, with Chinese assets showing strong appeal due to solid fundamentals and low valuations [21].
