1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Views - **Copper**: The current copper market presents a game situation of "short - term high inventory and medium - term demand improvement". Short - term fundamentals are under pressure, but the medium - term demand growth prospect and macro - strategic attributes offset the downward risk. It is expected that copper prices will fluctuate in the short term to gradually digest inventory pressure [6][7]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: In March, domestic lithium carbonate production, imports, and demand are all increasing. It is expected that the de - stocking intensity of social inventory will slow down. However, the current inventory structure shows that over 44% of social inventory is in the hands of downstream enterprises, and the low upstream inventory will limit the price decline space. Therefore, it is expected that lithium carbonate futures prices will fluctuate in the short term [22]. - **Zinc**: Zinc price fluctuations are more due to emotional trading in the market about the escalation of conflicts rather than its own fundamental drivers. The current geopolitical sentiment remains high, and the game around the Middle East situation continues, providing some support for zinc prices. However, the reality of high inventory and weak demand continues to suppress zinc prices. In the future, two core variables need to be concerned: the change in the duration of the US - Middle East conflict and the progress of domestic downstream resumption of work and inventory de - stocking rhythm [38][39]. 3. Summary by Directory Copper 3.1.1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: This week, the main contract of Shanghai copper operated in the range of (100030, 104540), with a total position of 584,000 lots, a 0.3% increase from last week. The 04 - 05 spread was - 160. Due to the decline in copper prices, downstream buying willingness increased, and the spot discount narrowed from 190 at the beginning of the week to 70. Affected by the Iranian situation, the market risk - aversion sentiment increased, the US dollar index rose, and funds chased the energy and chemical sectors, causing copper prices to rise and then fall. LME copper operated in the range of (12722, 13433). Overseas funds' enthusiasm for going long has decreased recently [7]. - **Operation Suggestions**: On the supply side, the TC of copper concentrate imports continues to decline, and the processing fee in the scrap copper market has declined. Although the raw material pressure has increased, it will take time for the raw material shortage to be transmitted to the smelting end. In March, the output is expected to exceed 1.2 million tons, and the pressure of concentrated maintenance of smelters may appear from April. At the same time, the import arbitrage window for the far - month contract on the disk is open, and subsequent imports are expected to increase. On the demand side, the peak season is coming, and the operating rates of refined copper rods, wires and cables, and enameled wires have all increased significantly. However, the current domestic and foreign inventories are at a high level, and it is necessary to wait for the de - stocking intensity in the domestic peak season to verify the peak - season performance. In the medium term, the application prospects of copper in the power grid and AI fields are optimistic, and demand growth is expected. Macroscopically, the market generally expects the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged in March, and the US dollar index will mainly fluctuate. Geopolitical risks and the signal of state reserves strengthen the strategic resource attribute of copper, providing bottom support for prices. Overall, it is expected that copper prices will fluctuate in the short term to gradually digest inventory pressure [7]. 3.1.2. Fundamental Analysis - **Supply Side**: The inversion of copper ore processing fees has intensified. As of March 6, the weekly TC of imported ore decreased by 5.62 to - 56.05 US dollars/ton, and the pricing coefficient of domestic copper concentrate remained at 96.5%. The long - term TC in 2026 is 0 US dollars/ton, a decrease of 21.25 US dollars/ton compared with 2025. The inventory of copper concentrate at seven ports increased by 2.15 to 632,700 tons. The processing fees of crude copper in the south and north decreased by 100 yuan/ton respectively, and the import processing fee of crude copper remained unchanged at 95 US dollars/ton. The anode plate processing fee remained unchanged at 1450 yuan/ton. The total imported metal volume of scrap copper and anode plates in December increased by 12.3% month - on - month and decreased by 0.6% year - on - year. The refined - scrap spread continued to weaken, and the processing fee of domestic scrap copper decreased. The by - product sulfuric acid revenue fluctuated at a high level. In February, the output of electrolytic copper was 1.1424 million tons, a decrease of 3.13% month - on - month and an increase of 7.96% year - on - year. It is expected that the output in March will increase by 4.62% month - on - month. The import window of refined copper is closed [10][11][12]. - **Demand Side**: The weekly operating rate of scrap copper rods increased by 3.42 percentage points to 5.57%. The refined - scrap spread and the spread between refined and scrap copper rods decreased, and the substitution effect of scrap copper weakened. The weekly operating rate of refined copper rods increased by 44.09% to 62.47%, and it is expected to further increase to 70.46% next week. The operating rate of wires and cables increased by 33.17 percentage points to 60.9%, and it is expected to further increase to 66.1% next week. The operating rate of enameled wires increased by 31.14 percentage points to 81.07%, and new orders increased significantly at the beginning of the week but decreased at the end of the week [13][14][15]. - **Spot Side**: Domestic inventory increased by 44,900 tons to 644,200 tons, and it is expected to decrease next week. The inventory in the bonded area decreased by 600 tons to 67,000 tons. The inventory in the LME + COMEX market increased by 26,795 tons to 826,000 tons [16]. Lithium Carbonate 3.2.1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: This week, the futures price of lithium carbonate continued to decline weakly. The main contract operated in the range of (146060, 179500), and the total position decreased by 11.7% to 628,000 lots. The near - month spread structure remained in CONTANGO. The spot price of battery - grade lithium carbonate also declined, and the spot holders' reluctance to sell increased after the sharp decline in the futures price [21]. - **Operation Suggestions**: On the supply side, the weekly output continued to rise, and it is expected that the domestic lithium carbonate output in March will increase by 28% to 106,390 tons. The amount of lithium carbonate exported from Chile to China in February increased by 32% to 22,381 tons, and the domestic supply in March is expected to exceed 130,000 tons, putting pressure on short - term lithium prices. On the demand side, the peak season is coming. The output of ternary materials and lithium iron phosphate increased by 5.8% and 8.4% respectively this week, and it is expected to increase by 19.3% and 23.6% respectively in March. The demand for new energy vehicles is expected to pick up in March. In the energy storage field, although the Iranian situation affects the Middle East energy storage installation in 2026, the Chinese energy storage market is in a period of rapid development, and the domestic energy storage demand growth is expected to offset the decline in Middle East demand. Overall, in March, domestic lithium carbonate production, imports, and demand are all increasing, and it is expected that the de - stocking intensity of social inventory will slow down. It is expected that lithium carbonate futures prices will fluctuate in the short term [22]. 3.2.2. Fundamental Analysis - **Supply Side**: This week, lithium ore prices fell. The spot price of Australian ore (6%, CIF China) decreased by 7.8% to 2200 US dollars/ton, the price of high - grade phospho - lithium - aluminum stone ore decreased by 8.8% to 14,000 yuan/ton, and the price of high - grade lithium mica concentrate decreased by 7.3% to 5190 yuan/ton. The production profit of purchasing lithium spodumene concentrate and lithium mica concentrate turned into a loss. The weekly output of lithium carbonate in China was 22,590 tons, an increase of 768 tons from last week. It is expected that the total output of lithium carbonate in March will increase to 106,390 tons, and the output of lithium hydroxide will increase to 30,050 tons. The cash cost of producing lithium carbonate from purchased lithium spodumene concentrate and high - grade lithium mica concentrate decreased [26]. - **Demand Side**: The prices of ternary materials, lithium iron phosphate, and cobalt acid lithium all decreased. The production enthusiasm of iron lithium enterprises was high, and the demand in the power and energy storage fields rebounded in March. The price center of battery cells moved up slightly, and the production cost of some battery cells decreased [27][28][29]. - **Spot Side**: The spread between battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate was at a low level, and the spread between spot and the main contract fluctuated sharply. The inventory of lithium carbonate decreased by 720 tons to 99,373 tons, with the inventory of smelters decreasing, the downstream inventory increasing, and the trader inventory decreasing [31]. Zinc 3.3.1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: The macro - situation is affected by the US - Iran conflict and the opening of the domestic two sessions. The US dollar index rebounded strongly, putting pressure on non - ferrous metals. The zinc price was mainly affected by the overall sentiment of the sector, with high inventory and weak demand suppressing the price, but the supply disturbance expectation of Iranian zinc ore limited the downward space [36]. - **Operation Suggestions**: On the supply side, northern mines are gradually resuming production, and the domestic supply of zinc concentrate is expected to increase. The average domestic TC of SMM Zn50 increased by 50 to 1550 yuan/metal ton. The output of refined zinc in March is expected to increase month - on - month. On the demand side, the downstream resumption of work is uneven, and the demand for zinc in the real estate industry chain is weak. The social inventory accumulation pressure continues, and the de - stocking inflection point may come around mid - March. In the future, two core variables need to be concerned: the change in the duration of the US - Middle East conflict and the progress of domestic downstream resumption of work and inventory de - stocking rhythm [38][39]. 3.3.2. Fundamental Analysis - **Supply Side**: The game between mines and smelters intensifies, and the increase in processing fees is limited. The domestic supply of zinc concentrate is expected to increase in March, and the average domestic TC of SMM Zn50 increased by 50 to 1550 yuan/metal ton. The economy of imported zinc concentrate has decreased, and the smelter's purchasing willingness is low. The output of zinc ingots in March is expected to increase month - on - month [46][47][48]. - **Demand Side**: The operating rate of galvanizing increased by 32.22% to 39.,06%, the operating rate of die - casting zinc alloy increased by 23.73% to 32.46%, and the operating rate of zinc oxide increased by 24.46% to 44.22%. The raw material inventory of each industry increased slightly, and the finished product inventory decreased [49][50]. - **Spot Market**: The domestic inventory increased by 1700 tons to 256,300 tons, and the LME zinc inventory decreased to 95,000 tons, with the Cash - 3M contango narrowing to around 20 US dollars/ton [51].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Views of the Report - In 2026, the pricing logic of aluminum metals with imagination since the fourth quarter of this year will continue. Although the year - on - year growth rate of apparent demand for aluminum metals is expected to decline further, the report remains optimistic about the unilateral direction of aluminum prices, smelting profits of aluminum plants, and price volatility due to the likely low - growth global supply [1][54][315]. - For alumina, the market is likely to see over - supply. It is recommended to sell on rebounds. The profit - grabbing ability of alumina in the industrial chain will remain weak in 2026 [196][319]. - For recycled cast aluminum alloys, prices will generally follow aluminum prices and have a certain upward elasticity. The price - to - electrolytic aluminum ratio of ADC12 is expected to rise, and its price may exceed the 2025 high [7][324]. - In 2026, key structural strategies include cross - border arbitrage, calendar spread arbitrage, cross - variety arbitrage, and over - the - counter options [8][327]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Review of 2025 Market and Main Driving Logic of Three Aluminum Products 1.1 Electrolytic Aluminum (AL) - In 2025, the aluminum price showed a low - volatility and convergent pattern for most of the time, with the annual low higher than that in 2024 and the high failing to break through the 2024 high. By the end of 2025, the price increase was 11.0%, lower than that of copper and tin [11]. - The main reasons were the "double - weak" supply - demand pattern and the lack of a clear macro - trading theme. However, since October, with the positive impact of AI - driven power demand on the supply - demand pattern, combined with stock - futures linkage, the aluminum price broke through the convergent pattern [12][14]. 1.2 Alumina (AO) - In 2025, alumina prices fell by 41.1%. In the first half of the year, there was a unilateral decline, and in the second half, there were two "advance - to - retreat" style declines. The main reason was the over - supply and inventory accumulation [17]. 1.3 Recycled Cast Aluminum Alloy (AD) - In 2025, the price center of recycled cast aluminum alloy moved up, generally following the electrolytic aluminum price. The price was supported by the supply shortage of scrap aluminum, especially in the second half of the year after the futures listing [23][24]. 1.4 Strategy Review of Three Aluminum Products - Cross - border arbitrage: In 2025, the most profitable position was the long - LME aluminum and short - SHFE aluminum (positive arbitrage), with a maximum annualized return of over 20% [26][28]. - Cross - variety arbitrage: Copper - aluminum arbitrage, alumina - aluminum arbitrage, alumina - caustic soda arbitrage, and aluminum - aluminum alloy arbitrage provided many profitable strategies [31][34]. - Calendar spread arbitrage: The basis and calendar spread structure of aluminum were generally flat. The basis opportunities of alumina and aluminum alloy were stronger than the calendar spread opportunities [44][45]. 2. Electrolytic Aluminum: Can the "Gathering of Small Demands" and Supply Stories Boost Elasticity? 2.1 Resilience of Primary Aluminum Demand - AI - related industries such as computing centers, energy storage, the US power grid, and robots, as well as military applications and "aluminum replacing copper," are expected to contribute about 1.2 - 1.6 percentage points to China's primary aluminum demand growth rate in 2026 [56][156]. - "Light and vehicle" consumption growth contribution will decline to + 0.1 percentage points, mainly due to the decline in photovoltaic demand [107][114]. - Traditional "foundation, infrastructure, and electricity" and manufacturing industries are expected to contribute 0 - 1 percentage point to the demand growth rate [116][117]. - In 2026, China's exports of aluminum products and aluminum products are expected to increase slightly, contributing 0.5 - 1 percentage point to the demand growth rate [155][156]. 2.2 Key Risks for the Bullish View - China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity ceiling is approaching, and in 2026, the production growth rate is expected to be about + 1.7%. The main risk is the potential increase in production capacity if green - power smelting can break through the ceiling [157][158][163]. - Overseas supply, especially from Indonesia, is a major risk. Although the new production in 2026 is expected to be at a low - growth rate, the power supply conditions need to be closely monitored [165][173][179]. 2.3 Supply - Demand Balance of Primary Aluminum - In China, under the baseline and optimistic scenarios in 2026, the annual shortage is expected to be 12.4 - 25.8 tons, and the inventory accumulation pressure in the first quarter is controllable [2][316]. - Globally, the supply - demand balance is expected to be in a shortage range of 19 - 82 tons, with a median of about 50 tons. Considering the production cut of the Mozambique aluminum plant, the global shortage may exceed 50 tons [2][187][316]. 3. Alumina: Where is the Bottom in the Dilemma between Fundamental Drivers and Valuation? 3.1 Supply Rigidity Remains Unsolved, and the Over - Supply Pattern is Hard to Change - As of the end of 2025, the production of alumina remained rigid. Although high - cost producers have suffered losses for two months, the production has not decreased significantly. However, there may be large - scale production cuts or maintenance in January - February [197][198]. - In 2026, there is still a large - scale new investment in alumina production capacity. The annual average growth rate of alumina production is expected to be about 5.3%, and the production - demand gap will be large [204][205]. - Overseas alumina production capacity is also increasing. Although there is a risk of overseas supply impacting the Chinese market, the Chinese market's production increase is more certain, and exports may exceed 2025 [210][211]. - In 2026, the supply - demand balance of alumina in China and globally is expected to be in a serious over - supply situation, but there are uncertainties in the inventory accumulation in the second half of the year [228][229]. 3.2 Under the Over - Supply Pattern, the Cost - Based Pricing of AO Continues - In 2026, the supply of Guinea bauxite is expected to be abundant, with a potential increase of 3693 - 6300 tons. If the monthly arrival in China exceeds 1530 tons, the supply of bauxite in China will be stable [240][241]. - Alumina's profit - grabbing ability in the industrial chain is expected to remain weak in 2026, mainly due to the decline in bauxite prices and the optimization of production capacity structure [258]. 4. Recycled Cast Aluminum Alloy: The Contradiction at the Raw Material End is Prominent, and the Ratio Center Rises 4.1 The Ratio Center of Scrap Aluminum to Electrolytic Aluminum Tends to Rise - The actual shipment volume of scrap aluminum in 2025 was lower than expected. The increase in imports did not effectively alleviate the supply shortage. The main reason was the mismatch between the supply and demand growth rates of scrap aluminum [262][271]. - The cancellation of the tax rebate policy has increased the cost of recycled aluminum enterprises, and the EU's possible export tariff on scrap aluminum may exacerbate the global supply shortage [291][296]. 4.2 Assessment of Supply and Demand of Recycled Aluminum Alloys - In 2025, the expansion rate of recycled aluminum alloy production capacity slowed down, but the capacity utilization rate was still low. In 2026, the production capacity growth rate is expected to slow down, and some production capacity may exit [300][301]. - The demand for recycled aluminum alloys has certain resilience, but the industry is still in an over - capacity situation. ADC12 is a cost - based pricing product, and the cost - pricing logic will be more obvious [307]. 5. Trading Themes to Watch in 2026 5.1 Unilateral Judgment of Electrolytic Aluminum - In 2026, the pricing logic of aluminum with imagination will continue. Although the apparent demand growth rate is expected to decline, the report is optimistic about the price, smelting profit, and price volatility. The main risks are macro - economic recession and over - production in Indonesia [315][318]. 5.2 Unilateral Judgment of Alumina - It is recommended to sell on rebounds. The over - supply pattern is difficult to change in 2026. The profit - grabbing ability in the industrial chain will remain weak, and the main risks are the introduction of a "production capacity ceiling" policy and bauxite supply disruptions in Guinea [319][323]. 5.3 Unilateral Judgment of Recycled Cast Aluminum Alloy - The price will generally follow the electrolytic aluminum price and has a certain upward elasticity. The main risks are the continuous release of new production capacity and lower - than - expected automobile consumption growth [324][326]. 5.4 Structural Strategies - Cross - border arbitrage: Positive arbitrage in the first half of the year and possible reverse arbitrage in the second half [327]. - Calendar spread arbitrage: Selectively conduct positive arbitrage [327]. - Cross - variety arbitrage: Short caustic soda based on alumina production cuts; buy aluminum and short copper when the copper - aluminum ratio rises too fast; conduct spread arbitrage between electrolytic aluminum and recycled cast aluminum alloy [327]. - Over - the - counter options: Regularly implement the low - level buying strategy - enhanced accumulative purchase [327].
