Group 1: Report's Overall Core View - The report provides a weekly analysis of various non - ferrous metals, including their price trends, supply - demand situations, and inventory changes, and gives corresponding investment strategies and outlooks [1] Group 2: Copper Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, the change in Shanghai copper spot price was - 40, and the change in LME inventory was - 200. Other data such as premium and import profit also showed certain changes [1] Core View - Overseas, LME copper warehouse receipts continued to be cancelled, and the LME cash - 3m structure remained at a high level. Domestic smelting enterprises' export volume was slightly higher than expected. Global visible copper inventory was in a de - stocking channel, and domestic inventory was difficult to accumulate quickly. Copper fundamentals and inventory support remained, and attention should be paid to whether orders showed signs of weakness in the off - season next week [1] Group 3: Aluminum Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, Shanghai aluminum ingot price increased by 280, and LME inventory decreased by 2100. Other data such as premium and import profit also changed [1] Core View - Supply increased slightly, and aluminum ingot imports were large from January to April. June demand was expected to weaken seasonally, with a supply - demand gap. 6 - 7 months' inventory decline was gentle. Short - term fundamentals were okay, and attention should be paid to demand. The monthly positive spread could be held if the absolute price fell [1] Group 4: Zinc Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, Shanghai zinc ingot price increased by 190, and LME inventory decreased by 625. Other data such as premium and import profit also had changes [1][2][3] Core View - This week, zinc prices fluctuated and declined. Supply side: domestic TC was unchanged, and import TC rebounded slightly. Demand side: domestic demand weakened marginally, and overseas demand in Europe was weak. Domestic social inventory fluctuated, and the inflection point of accelerated inventory accumulation was expected to appear in mid - June. The strategy was to maintain a short - allocation idea, hold the long - short spread between domestic and overseas, and pay attention to the reverse spread between months [4] Group 5: Nickel Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, Shanghai nickel spot price decreased by 200, and LME inventory decreased by 816. Other data such as premium and import profit also changed [7] Core View - Supply side: pure nickel production remained at a high level, and Russian nickel imports increased in April. Demand side: overall demand was weak, and LME premium strengthened slightly. Inventory side: overseas nickel plate inventory remained stable, and domestic inventory decreased slightly. The opportunity to shrink the nickel - stainless steel price ratio could be continuously concerned [7] Group 6: Stainless Steel Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, 304 cold - rolled coil price decreased by 50, and 430 cold - rolled coil price decreased by 50 [10] Core View - Supply side: production increased seasonally in April, and some steel mills cut production passively since late May. Demand side: mainly rigid demand. Cost: nickel - iron and chrome - iron prices remained stable. Inventory: inventory in Xijiao and Foshan increased slightly, and exchange warehouse receipts decreased. The overall fundamentals were weak, and it was expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term [10][11] Group 7: Lead Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, the change in spot premium was 20, and LME inventory increased by 2025. Other data such as premium and import profit also changed [12] Core View - This week, lead prices rebounded from a low level. Supply side: scrap volume was weak year - on - year, and some recycling enterprises increased prices to sell goods. Demand side: battery inventory was high, and Tianneng's production increased, driving spot trading. It was expected that lead prices would fluctuate between 16700 - 17100 next week, and supply was expected to be flat while demand was weak in June [12] Group 8: Tin Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, the change in spot import profit was - 498.60, and LME inventory increased by 20. Other data such as premium and export profit also changed [14] Core View - This week, tin prices fluctuated widely. Supply side: short - term复产 in Myanmar's Wa State needed negotiation, and domestic smelting enterprises in some areas cut production. Demand side: solder demand was limited, and terminal demand growth was expected to decline. Short - term, it was expected to maintain a situation of weak supply and demand, and June was a key stage to verify whether the shortage of ore would lead to a shortage of ingots. In the short - term, long - allocation could be held cautiously, and in the long - term, attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities after the maintenance period [14] Group 9: Industrial Silicon Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, 421 Yunnan basis decreased by 65, and the number of warehouse receipts decreased by 448 [17] Core View - This week, the start - up rate in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Xinjiang increased slightly. The short - term supply - demand reduction pattern was obvious, and the overall supply and demand of industrial silicon reached a tight balance. In the future, supply had great potential pressure. In the long - term, industrial silicon prices were expected to operate at the bottom of the cash - flow cost of leading enterprises, and the focus was on the cost reduction caused by green - electricity subsidies and the decline of thermal - power prices [17] Group 10: Lithium Carbonate Price and Inventory Data - From June 12 - 18, 2025, SMM electric - grade lithium carbonate price remained unchanged, and the number of registered warehouse receipts decreased by 1746 [19] Core View - This week, lithium carbonate prices rebounded from a low level. Supply side: some production lines resumed production, and overall inventory increased this week. Demand side: downstream demand was weak, and only maintained a safety inventory. In the medium - long term, if the start - up rate of leading ore - smelting integrated enterprises did not decline significantly, lithium carbonate prices would still fluctuate weakly. It was expected to continue to accumulate inventory next week, putting upward pressure on prices [19][20]

Group 1: Copper - The LME cash - 3M spread widened due to the large - scale extraction of Russian copper from LME warehouses and its entry into the Chinese market, and high spot premiums in Southeast Asia. Domestic cross - month spreads and spot premiums remained stable, with weakening export demand and potential weakening downstream demand and orders. The supply disruption at Kamora Copper Mine may last until the fourth quarter, negatively affecting Ivanhoe's annual production guidance. The domestic refined copper balance may shift from tight to neutral, and rising inventory may suppress absolute prices [1]. Group 2: Aluminum - Supply increased slightly, with large imports of aluminum ingots from January to April. Demand from May to June is not expected to decline significantly, with stable aluminum product exports and a slight decline in photovoltaic demand. There is still a supply - demand gap. Inventory is expected to decline gradually from May to July. The fundamentals are acceptable, and attention should be paid to demand. Long - short spreads can be held if the absolute price drops [1]. Group 3: Zinc - Zinc prices fluctuated widely this week, briefly surging due to rumors of extended maintenance at a southern smelter. Domestic TC rose to 3,600 yuan/ton, and smelting output is expected to increase by 25,000 tons in June compared to May. Domestic demand has limited elasticity, with slow - falling spot premiums and weak orders in North China, while exports in East and South China are stable. Overseas spot premiums are recovering, and European demand is slightly improving. Domestic social inventory is accumulating slowly, and the inflection point of accelerated accumulation is expected to occur in early June. LME inventory is slightly declining. Attention should be paid to the transition from inventory drawdown to accumulation, and short positions are recommended to be held. Partial profit - taking can be considered for long - short spreads due to potential Trump tariff interference [2]. Group 4: Nickel - On the supply side, pure nickel production remains high, and Russian nickel imports increased in April. Demand is weak overall, and Jinchuan's premium strengthened slightly after the price decline. Overseas nickel plate inventory is slightly increasing, and domestic inventory is stable. The macro - impact is weakening, and the short - term fundamentals are average. Opportunities to narrow the nickel - stainless steel price ratio can continue to be monitored [3]. Group 5: Stainless Steel - In terms of supply, production increased seasonally in April, and some steel mills cut production passively in May. Demand is mainly for rigid needs. The prices of nickel and chrome iron are stable. Inventory in Xijiao and Foshan is slightly decreasing, and exchange warehouse receipts are partially expiring. The fundamentals are generally weak, and short - term fluctuations are expected [3]. Group 6: Lead - Lead prices oscillated downward this week. On the supply side, scrap volume is weak year - on - year, recyclers are panic - selling, and mid - stream secondary smelters have concentrated production capacity, but operate at half capacity due to tight scrap battery supply. Downstream demand is weak, with about 50% capacity utilization. Concentrate supply is abundant from April to May. On the demand side, battery inventory is high, and overall demand is weak, but there is a motivation for replenishment this week. The refined - scrap price difference is +75, and secondary lead prices are strongly supported. LME inventory has concentrated deliveries. The old - for - new policy continues, but overall consumption is weak in the off - season from April. The price is expected to oscillate between 16,400 - 16,700 next week, and supply is expected to decline in May [5]. Group 7: Tin - Tin prices declined this week due to weak commodity sentiment and energy prices. On the supply side, the short - term复产 in Myanmar's Wa State requires negotiation, processing fees are low, and smelting profits are inverted. Some smelters in Jiangxi have cut production, and those in Yunnan are struggling. Overseas supply disruptions have basically subsided. On the demand side, solder demand has limited elasticity, and the growth of terminal electronics and photovoltaics is expected to slow. Domestic downstream actively replenished inventory after the price drop, and overseas consumption continues to be strong with low - level inventory fluctuations. Small - brand tin ingots are still in short supply, and exchange inventory is mainly high - priced Yunzi brand, with weak downstream提货意愿. In the short term, supply disruptions and weakening demand coexist, and the first half of the year is expected to see weak supply and demand. June may be a key period to verify the transmission from tight ore to tight ingot supply. Short - term observation is recommended, and medium - term short - selling opportunities can be monitored [7]. Group 8: Industrial Silicon - Some northern large - scale plants resumed production this week, Sichuan Tongwei continued to increase production, and new production capacities of Yunnan Yongchang and Xin'an Silicon Materials are gradually coming online. Market overall operating rate increased slightly, and some small plants in Sichuan plan to resume production in June during the wet season. Organic silicon plants that previously cut production increased their operating rates, slightly boosting the demand for industrial silicon. Inventory is at a high level, with sufficient warehouse receipts and non - standard goods, and high spot pressure. In the short term, both supply and demand are decreasing, and the rigid demand from polysilicon and organic silicon is weak. Speculative demand in downstream and mid - stream sectors is limited. Currently, the overall supply and demand of industrial silicon reach a tight balance after upstream large - scale plants reduce their operating rates. However, with the commissioning of new production capacities and small - scale resumption of small plants in the wet season, future supply has significant potential pressure. In the long - term, industrial silicon prices are expected to bottom - out based on the cash - flow costs of leading large - scale plants [10]. Group 9: Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices declined this week. Downstream buyers prefer new or discounted goods, and the basis of new goods is decreasing. Manufacturers are reluctant to sell and try to support prices, while traders have difficulty selling. Tianqi and Yahua resumed production, small recycling plants cut production more severely, some self - owned mines rely on hedging to maintain profits and production, and Jiangxi Chunpeng plans maintenance. The inventory accumulation speed slowed this week, and downstream only maintains a safety inventory. Low prices reduce the registration of new goods in warehouse receipts, and production in June is expected to decrease slightly. In the long - term, there are many lithium mine and lithium salt capacity expansion projects. If the operating rates of leading mine - smelting integrated enterprises do not significantly decline, lithium carbonate prices will continue to oscillate weakly. In the short term, downstream demand is weak, and policies to stimulate demand are less effective than expected. Lithium ore prices are declining, and lithium prices lack support. Downstream buyers replenish inventory cautiously at low prices. Smelters using externally - sourced ores are all in losses and cut production. The price has reached the cost line of some self - owned mines, which rely on hedging to maintain profits. Cathode production is less motivated due to losses, and high - cost production capacities may be cleared. Future supply has high elasticity, and there may be more news of production cuts and shutdowns next week, with prices expected to decline after oscillations [12].
