Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the text. Core Views of the Report - The short - term outlook for the stock index is expected to be volatile. As the negative factors of trade frictions gradually ease, the stock index is expected to return to the upward channel. Even if short - term macro uncertainties increase, the adjustment space of the stock index is expected to be limited. The strategy is to go long on the stock index when opportunities arise [1]. - Different commodities have different trends. Some are expected to be volatile, some are expected to be strong, and some are influenced by multiple factors such as supply - demand, policies, and geopolitical situations [1]. Summary by Industry Macro - finance - **Stock Index**: Short - term volatility, expected to return to the upward channel later, with limited adjustment space. Strategy: go long when opportunities arise [1]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Volatile. Asset shortage and weak economy are favorable for bond futures, but the central bank's short - term interest rate risk warning suppresses the upward space [1]. - **Gold**: Short - term wide - range volatility. Geopolitical uncertainties and potential Fed rate cuts support the price, but the new round of Sino - US consultations limit the rise [1]. - **Silver**: Volatile in the short - term, and the physical situation in London needs to be monitored [1]. Non - ferrous Metals - **Copper**: Short - term price fluctuations are intensified, but with continuous supply disturbances and an increasing Fed rate - cut expectation, it is expected to be strong [1]. - **Alumina**: With production still profitable, domestic alumina production capacity continues to be released, and production and inventory are increasing. The spot price is under pressure, and cost support needs attention [1]. - **Zinc**: After a short - term rebound, the export window closes again. It is expected to fluctuate within a range, and changes in domestic and foreign inventories need attention [1]. - **Nickel**: Short - term volatility is mainly influenced by the macro situation and may be strong, but high inventory still suppresses the price. Suggestion: short - term low - buying within the range, and there is still pressure from long - term excess of primary nickel [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: The macro situation improves, and the trade friction eases. The stainless steel futures may rebound in the short - term. It is recommended to operate in the short - term and wait for short - selling opportunities at high prices [1]. - **Tin**: Although the short - term impact of the Indonesian ore ban is not significant, the supply risk is high, and there is demand support. It is recommended to pay attention to long - buying opportunities at low prices in the long - term [1]. Black Metals - **Rebar and Hot - rolled Coil**: The industrial driving force is unclear, and the futures valuation is low. Directional trading is not recommended [1]. - **Iron Ore**: The near - month contract is restricted by production cuts, but the commodity sentiment is good, and the far - month contract still has upward potential [1]. - **Silicon Manganese**: Direct demand is good, but supply is high, and inventory is at a high level. The price is under pressure and volatile [1]. - **Silicon Iron**: Short - term production profit is poor, but cost support is strengthening, and direct demand is good. The price is expected to be volatile and the downward space is limited [1]. - **Soda Ash**: Follows the glass market, with a large supply - surplus pressure, and the price is under pressure [1]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: After the price rebounded to fill the gap, it reached a relatively high level. It may challenge previous highs, but the breakthrough is difficult. It may be in a wide - range volatile market if there is no new policy on "anti - involution" [1].

Group 1: Investment Ratings - There is no information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The nickel market has high inventories and an oversupplied pattern, so nickel prices are expected to remain in low - level oscillations. The stainless - steel market has weak downstream demand growth, increasing inventories, and weakening cost support, so it is expected to remain in range - bound oscillations [3][5]. Group 3: Nickel Market Analysis Futures - On October 23, 2025, the main contract 2512 of Shanghai nickel opened at 121,100 yuan/ton and closed at 121,380 yuan/ton, a 0.19% change from the previous trading day's close.

The main contract showed a volatile pattern of opening low and closing high, with a fluctuation range of only 0.44%. Supported by the expectation of loose liquidity and strong new - energy demand, along with the overall strength of the non - ferrous sector, the price oscillated upward [1]. Nickel Ore - The nickel ore market is mainly in a wait - and - see state, and prices are stable. There is a certain price difference between supply and demand in the domestic market. In the Philippines, the Surigao mining area is about to enter the rainy season, and shipments are coming to an end. In Indonesia, the domestic trade benchmark price in October (Phase II) increased by 0.06 - 0.11 US dollars, and the current mainstream premium is +26, with the premium range mostly between +25 - 27.

Driven by the strong nickel price, the main contract showed a volatile and strong trend with increasing volume and price, but there was a short - term oversold rebound. The continuous reduction of open interest in the main contract for 5 days reflects strong risk - aversion sentiment among funds, and the market doubts the sustainability of the rebound [3]. Spot - The driving effect of futures on spot is not obvious, and actual trading remains light. Spot prices remain low. The stainless - steel price in the Wuxi market is 13,000 (+0) yuan/ton, and in the Foshan market is 13,000 (+0) yuan/ton. The 304/2B premium is 335 - 635 yuan/ton. The ex - factory tax - included average price of high - nickel pig iron decreased by 1.50 yuan/nickel point to 934.0 yuan/nickel point [3]. Strategy - Due to weak downstream demand growth, increasing inventories, and weakening cost support, stainless steel is expected to remain in a range - bound oscillation. The single - side strategy is neutral, and no operations for cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - For precious metals, the push for a cease - fire in the Russia - Ukraine conflict by Europe has led to a sharp drop in hedging demand, but the fundamental support factors remain unchanged. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points each in the next week and December, and the medium - to - long - term monetary easing environment will continue. The global demand for gold allocation remains stable, and institutional investors are still optimistic about the medium - term outlook after the short - term sharp decline [3]. - For copper, the spot market atmosphere is average, downstream sentiment is low and demand is mainly for rigid needs. With the replenishment of domestic and imported supplies, the increase in spot circulation has led to a downward adjustment of premiums [18]. - For aluminum, macro data shows that China's core CPI growth rate expanded to 1% in September, indicating a mild recovery in domestic demand. Overseas, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates, which is positive for aluminum prices. The market believes that the probability of tariff negotiation success is high. The fundamentals of Shanghai aluminum are stable this week, and the continuous destocking of electrolytic aluminum social inventory provides some support for aluminum prices. In the short term, Shanghai aluminum will fluctuate at a high level. Alumina is in an oversupply situation, and prices are falling. Cast aluminum alloy has strong follow - up to Shanghai aluminum and has strong support at the bottom [37]. - For zinc, the fundamentals have not changed significantly recently. Domestic smelting supply is stable, while overseas there are production cuts. The price spread has been widening due to inconsistent fundamentals. The domestic zinc market is in a situation of strong supply and weak demand. Low inventory provides short - term price support. Attention should be paid to the opening of the export window and the possibility of macro - upward driving forces [60]. - For the nickel industry chain, the fundamentals have not changed significantly. There are still expectations of interest rate cuts this year at the macro level, and the progress of Sino - US tariffs affects risk appetite. In the nickel ore market, Indonesia's new quota regulations may lead to a decline in 2026 quotas. The new energy sector is in the peak season, with strong demand. Nickel iron prices are weak, and stainless steel prices may decline slightly. Attention should be paid to the follow - up development of Sino - US tariffs and interest rate cut expectations [75]. - For tin, the fundamentals have not changed. Yunnan's production has declined, and concentrate imports have dropped sharply. Supply is weaker than demand. In the short term, it is difficult to solve the supply - side disturbances, and Shanghai tin is still strong, with support expected around 276,000 yuan [92]. - For lithium carbonate, market demand is good, and warehouse receipts are continuously and significantly destocked. Before the end of the year, the demand of downstream lithium - battery material enterprises is expected to continue to grow month - on - month, which will support the futures price [106]. - For the silicon industry chain, for industrial silicon, as the dry season approaches, enterprise production cuts are expected to increase, and the price center may move up slightly, but the price increase is limited due to high inventory. For polysilicon, there are production cuts in the southwest region, and the specific impact needs further observation [118]. 3.
