1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - The recent trend of non - ferrous metals shows a recovery from a low level, but with the easing of the Iranian situation and the decline in energy prices, non - ferrous metals have also adjusted moderately. There is still long - term demand growth and supply constraints in the non - ferrous metals market. The core concern of investors has shifted from short - term inflation panic caused by soaring energy prices to deep concerns about long - term economic stagnation or recession. The impact of high oil prices on non - ferrous metals may be phased. The main focus of the market in the future will be the assessment and changes of the duration of the geopolitical conflict and the Strait blockade. The change in the Fed's interest rate cut expectation also has an impact on the market [13]. - Different non - ferrous metal varieties have different market logics and trends. For example, copper is expected to recover in the medium - to - long term due to factors such as inflation expectations and the entry of downstream consumption into the peak season; zinc is in a state of shock consolidation; the aluminum industry chain has different trends for different products such as aluminum, alumina, and recycled aluminum alloy; tin is in a state of shock and is recommended to be observed or take a long - biased approach; lead is in a state of shock and can be considered to go long at low prices after the macro - impact weakens; nickel and stainless steel are in a state of adjustment, and can be considered to go long at low prices when the macro - sentiment eases [3][5][6][8][9][10]. 3. Summary by Directory First Part: Non - ferrous Metals Operating Logic and Investment Recommendations - **Macro Logic**: Non - ferrous metals have shown a recovery from a low level, but have adjusted moderately with the easing of the Iranian situation and the decline in energy prices. The market's focus has shifted from short - term inflation panic to concerns about long - term economic stagnation. The impact of high oil prices on non - ferrous metals is phased. The main concerns in the future are the geopolitical conflict and the Fed's interest rate cut expectations [13]. - **Variety - Specific Analysis**: - **Copper**: Powell's dovish statement reduces the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate hike this year, and the rise in gold and silver prices boosts copper prices. However, concerns about the US economic stagflation limit the rebound space of copper. In the medium - to - long term, rising oil prices push up inflation expectations, and copper prices are expected to rise. The supply of copper concentrates is still tight globally, but domestic smelters' production is not significantly restricted. Downstream demand is in the peak season, and the inventory is expected to enter the destocking cycle in April. It is recommended to go long at low prices and use options strategies [3][15]. - **Zinc**: The Iranian geopolitical situation may ease, and energy prices are adjusted. Powell's dovish statement boosts the expectation of an interest rate cut. The import ore TC continues to decline, and the domestic ore TC remains flat. The spot inventory is decreasing, and the downstream starts to show differentiation. It is recommended to go long at low prices and pay attention to the geopolitical situation, inflation expectations, and demand [5][17]. - **Aluminum Industry Chain**: The aluminum production capacity in the Middle East is disturbed, and the strong US dollar suppresses the non - ferrous metal market. It is recommended to buy on dips. Different products in the aluminum industry chain, such as aluminum, alumina, and recycled aluminum alloy, have different price ranges and strategies [6][7][17]. - **Tin**: The Shanghai tin market is in a weak shock under the pressure of the US dollar. It is recommended to observe or take a long - biased approach, pay attention to the capital sentiment, the situation of the ore end, and the macro - environment. Options can be used for protection [8][18]. - **Lead**: The geopolitical situation is repeated, and energy prices fall. The supply of primary and secondary lead increases, and the downstream demand is weak. The inventory shows a slight decrease. It is recommended to go long at low prices after the macro - impact weakens and pay attention to the demand recovery and inventory changes [9][18]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: The Iranian geopolitical situation may ease, and energy prices are adjusted. Powell's dovish statement boosts the expectation of an interest rate cut. The implementation of Indonesia's nickel windfall tax and export tax is delayed. The supply of nickel ore is strong, and the demand is weak. Stainless steel is in a state of adjustment, and it is recommended to go long at low prices when the macro - sentiment eases [10][18][19].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View - On March 9, platinum and palladium prices opened lower and then fluctuated upward, with the decline narrowing. The PT2606 contract closed down 1.43% to 549.35 yuan/gram, and the PD2606 contract closed down 2.18% to 412.7 yuan/gram [5]. - On the macro - level, the continuous tension in the Middle East geopolitical situation has pushed up crude oil prices, increasing inflation risks, weakening interest - rate cut expectations, and rising concerns about economic recession, which put pressure on platinum and palladium prices. However, the unexpected weakness of the US February non - farm payrolls increased the risk of economic stagflation, combined with the risk of the US private - credit crisis and the G7's plan to coordinate the release of oil reserves, causing oil prices to give back gains and the US dollar index to weaken, providing support for platinum and palladium prices [5]. - Fundamentally, the WPIC estimates that the global platinum market will face a supply shortage for the fourth consecutive year, and the imbalance between supply and demand may continue to support platinum prices, but the narrowing of the shortage in 2026 may limit its upward space. The palladium fundamentals are weaker than platinum, and its overall performance may continue to be inferior to platinum. In the short term, platinum and palladium are expected to maintain wide - range fluctuations. After the Middle East geopolitical situation becomes clear, investors can consider going long on platinum at low prices or continue to hold the [long platinum, short palladium] strategy [5]. 3.

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the precious metals market, focusing on gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, in the context of geopolitical risks and economic policies, particularly under the Trump 2.0 administration [1][4][3]. Core Insights and Arguments Gold Market - Gold prices are expected to rise due to inflation expectations and economic stagnation driven by the Trump 2.0 policy, which includes reciprocal tariffs [1][4]. - The demand for gold jewelry is declining due to high prices, while central bank purchases are slowing down. However, ETF investments are becoming a significant support factor for gold demand [5][6]. - The new gold tax policy differentiates between investment and non-investment uses, increasing the tax burden on jewelry, which is likely to reduce domestic jewelry consumption in the upcoming quarters [6]. Silver Market - The silver market has been in a supply deficit for five consecutive years, with expectations for a seventh year of supply shortfall in 2025. This is supported by increased ETF investments and insufficient inventory liquidity, which is driving up silver prices [7]. - The fundamental strength of silver contrasts with gold, which is more influenced by macroeconomic factors [7]. Platinum and Palladium - Both platinum and palladium are experiencing supply deficits, with platinum facing a more severe situation. Platinum's demand is diversified, particularly in the new energy vehicle sector, giving it more upward price elasticity compared to palladium [8][10]. Economic Policies and Predictions - The U.S. government may implement loose monetary and fiscal policies ahead of the midterm elections in 2026, which could further boost gold prices [11]. - The Federal Reserve's monetary policy impact on gold prices is diminishing, with geopolitical risks and U.S. debt issues becoming more significant factors in gold pricing logic [2][15]. Future Price Predictions - Gold prices are projected to range between $3,900 and $4,800 per ounce in 2026, with an average price expected to reach around $4,500 per ounce [15]. - Silver prices could reach between $56 and $64 per ounce, depending on the gold price trajectory [16]. Additional Important Insights - The geopolitical landscape, particularly the Russia-Ukraine conflict, will significantly influence future gold prices. A resolution to this conflict could lower geopolitical risk but may not prevent inflation expectations from rising [13]. - The long-term target for gold could reach $6,000 per ounce, although achieving this in the short term remains uncertain [18]. - The copper market is also discussed, highlighting supply constraints and the impact of U.S. tariffs on copper prices, with expectations of a supply gap in 2026 [19][24]. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call, providing insights into the precious metals market and the broader economic context influencing these trends.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The short - term trade agreement dispute has resurfaced, increasing the demand for hedging, and the risk of stagflation in the US economy has increased, with the weakening employment leading to a rebound in the expectation of interest rate cuts. It is expected that precious metals will be volatile and strong in the short term, oscillate at a high level in the medium term, and rise in steps in the long term [1]. - The gold price trend is the anchor for the silver price. In terms of capital, the net long position of CFTC silver and the iShare silver ETF have slightly reduced their positions. In terms of inventory, the recent visible inventory of silver has slightly increased [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Gold - **Core Logic**: Short - term trade agreement disputes increase hedging demand; the risk of US economic stagflation rises, and the weak employment situation leads to a rebound in interest - rate cut expectations. The new round of tariffs by Trump has caused a global stock market crash, and many countries are seeking renegotiation. The weak US employment growth in July and the significant downward revision of non - farm payrolls in the previous two months have increased the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates in September. The market's expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut probability in September has soared from about 40% to about 80%, and the expected number of interest - rate cuts within the year has increased from 1 to 3. The US dollar index and US bond yields have fallen under pressure. The CRB commodity index's rebound is under pressure, and the strong RMB suppresses domestic prices [1]. - **Strategy**: Conservative investors should wait and see, while aggressive investors can buy on dips.

Silver - **Core Logic**: The gold price trend is the anchor for the silver price. There are slight reductions in the net long position of CFTC silver and the iShare silver ETF, and a slight increase in recent visible inventory [5]. - **Strategy**: Conservative investors should wait and see, while aggressive investors can buy on dips. It is recommended to manage positions well and set strict stop - loss and take - profit levels [6]. - **Data Summary**: International prices such as Comex silver and London silver have changed, and domestic prices like Shanghai silver and silver T + D have also adjusted.
