Group 1: Report Core View - Copper prices decreased with reduced positions. Due to the upcoming Fed's interest - rate decision, short - term long - position holders were eager to close positions. In the industrial aspect, downstream buyers were hesitant as copper prices rose in September. Technically, LME copper reached the upper limit of the previous trading range, also prompting long - position closing. Copper prices have been rising with increasing positions since last week, breaking through the 80,000 mark, and are expected to remain strong. Attention should be paid to the Fed's September interest - rate decision [3]. - Aluminum prices decreased with reduced positions, and the main contract price fell below the 21,000 mark. Due to the upcoming Fed's interest - rate decision, short - term long - position holders were eager to close positions. Technically, Shanghai aluminum faced resistance at the March high. Continued attention should be paid to the long - short battle at the 21,000 mark and the Fed's September interest - rate decision [4]. - Shanghai nickel decreased with reduced positions in the morning and stabilized and rebounded in the afternoon, with the position volume continuously declining. Due to the upcoming Fed's interest - rate decision, short - term long - position holders were eager to close positions. In the industrial aspect, the port inventory of domestic nickel ore and the inventory of nickel on the Shanghai Futures Exchange continued to rise, which was negative for nickel prices. Short - term attention should be paid to the long - short battle at 122,000 and the Fed's September interest - rate decision [5]. Group 2: Industry Dynamics - Anglo American and Codelco signed an agreement to jointly operate their adjacent mines in central Chile. The Los Bronces copper mine of Anglo American and the Andina copper mine of Codelco will be integrated to create a new mining area. Once approved (expected before 2030), the project is expected to produce an additional 2.7 million tons of copper in 21 years [7]. - The research department of Commerzbank stated that affected by the interweaving of long and short factors, aluminum prices may show a sideways - oscillating trend in the short term. Last week, aluminum prices broke through the $2,700 per ton mark but are currently under downward pressure. To curb over - capacity, investment in the aluminum industry is regulated, which may also ease the decline in aluminum prices. Aluminum production may stagnate or even decline slightly in the next few months [8]. - On September 17, the price of SMM1 electrolytic nickel was 121,400 - 124,200 yuan/ton, with an average price of 122,800 yuan/ton, a decrease of 800 yuan/ton from the previous trading day.

After the price dropped rapidly, downstream buyers took the opportunity to receive goods, and traders increased their inventory by 2,000 tons to 45,000 tons. The mid - stream continues to bet on price increases, and the transfer of goods is mainly from upstream to downstream. The latest quotation of Australian ore is 880 US dollars, and the ore price has slightly adjusted. The overall sentiment is low, and the trend is volatile [9] Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon futures closed slightly down. The weekly output in Xinjiang continues to increase, and the production in Sichuan and Yunnan is expected to be reduced at the end of October.
