Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call on Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Overview - The non-ferrous metals market is expected to see an early start, with strong orders in October and sustained downstream demand despite price pressures. Supply disruptions from Congo and Zijin Mining are anticipated to last over a year, supporting metal prices [1][2][4]. Copper Market Insights - The copper supply-demand balance is shifting, with significant production cuts at Grasberg mine expected to lead to a shortage by Q4 2025. A reduction of over 400,000 tons in 2026 is projected, alongside low inventory levels, suggesting copper prices could stabilize above $10,000 per ton in Q4 2025 and potentially reach $12,000 per ton in 2026 [1][2][3]. - Current high inventory levels indicate strong demand, with September and October orders being robust. Supply-side disruptions are expected to continue, reinforcing the bullish outlook for copper [2][3]. Aluminum Market Dynamics - The aluminum sector shows strong demand, particularly in Q4, with stable orders from key downstream enterprises. The global supply growth of electrolytic aluminum is expected to lag behind demand growth, leading to a potential shortage and a forecasted price surge to over 23,000 yuan per ton by 2026 [1][7][8]. - Despite an increase in overall inventory, the production of electrolytic aluminum remains stable, indicating a positive short-term outlook for aluminum prices [7][8].

The anticipated rise in copper prices may also catalyze an earlier increase in silver prices, positioning silver for strong performance among metals [1][4][5][6]. - Gold prices are projected to experience long-term upward trends, with a trading range expected to shift to $3,500-$3,600 by mid-2025, driven by declining trust in mainstream currencies and increased central bank allocations to gold [10][11][12]. Strategic Investment Opportunities - The recent policy guidance from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasizes the improvement of the non-ferrous metals industry environment, which could enhance corporate profitability. Companies with advanced technology and environmental advantages are likely to gain market share [4][15][16]. - Investment strategies should focus on companies with low absolute valuations and high dividend yields, as well as those with solid earnings and minimal capital expenditure [9]. Lithium and Cobalt Market Outlook - The lithium market is currently oversupplied but is expected to stabilize due to improving demand from the 3C industry and advancements in solid-state battery technology. Short-term prices are projected to remain between 70,000 and 75,000 yuan [14]. - Cobalt is identified as a short-term investment opportunity, with supply constraints from Congo and increased demand from the U.S. Department of Defense likely to drive prices above 400,000 yuan in the coming months [13][14]. Conclusion - The non-ferrous metals sector is poised for growth, driven by supply disruptions, strong demand, and favorable policy support. Investors are encouraged to focus on specific metals and companies that align with these trends for potential returns in the coming years [1][4][5][6][9][10].
