1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report Copper - Overseas liquidity is tight and the US dollar index is high, suppressing copper prices. After the interest rate cut and tariffs are implemented, the market may enter a macro "vacuum period" in November. The next macro nodes are likely to be the December FOMC meeting, the domestic Politburo meeting, and the Central Economic Work Conference. The long - term supply - demand contradiction supports the upward shift of the bottom center of copper prices, while short - term rapid increases may suppress demand [2]. Aluminum - Alumina prices are expected to continue weak and volatile. Aluminum prices are expected to face a game between event - driven factors and weak fundamentals in the short term. Attention should be paid to whether the 21,500 yuan/ton pressure level can be effectively broken through. If inventory accumulates, there is a risk of price correction to the 20,500 - 20,800 yuan/ton range [4]. Aluminum Alloy - The ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong and volatile trend under the dual effects of rigid cost support and a tight supply - demand balance. Key factors to monitor include scrap aluminum supply, procurement costs, and inventory reduction progress [5]. Zinc - Against the backdrop of concerns about a short squeeze in LME zinc, Shanghai zinc oscillated at a high level. In the short term, zinc prices are expected to be volatile and strong, but the fundamentals may limit the upward momentum. The key for upward breakthrough lies in better - than - expected demand and improved non - recessionary interest rate cut expectations, while downward breakthrough may occur if refined zinc inventory accumulates [7]. Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the demand is weak. Market sentiment has improved, and the fundamentals are strong. Low - position long orders can be held, and a strategy of buying on dips can be adopted. The follow - up focus is on macro changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter [8]. Nickel - The macro sentiment is weak, and the cost is still supported by firm ore prices. However, the overall fundamentals are dull, and the medium - term supply is expected to be loose, which restricts the upward space of prices. The price is expected to oscillate within a range, with the main contract reference range of 118,000 - 124,000 yuan/ton [10]. Stainless Steel - Policy and macro drivers are weakening, and the fundamental structure has not improved significantly. Supply - side pressure from steel mills' production schedules and social inventory remains, and demand is insufficient. The short - term price is expected to be weak and volatile, with the main contract reference range of 12,500 - 13,000 yuan/ton [12]. Lithium Carbonate - In the short term, strong fundamentals provide support for prices. However, the trading logic has shifted, and the current news and capital drivers are stronger than the fundamentals and valuation logic. Prices are expected to be volatile, with the main contract reference range of 78,000 - 82,000 yuan/ton [14]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings There is no information provided in the report about industry investment ratings. 2. Core Views Copper - Overseas liquidity is tight, and the strong US dollar index suppresses copper prices. The market may enter a macro "vacuum period" in November, and subsequent attention should be paid to the Fed's interest - rate cut rhythm and Sino - US tariff situation. - The shortage of copper ore supply remains unchanged. If the prices of by - products such as sulfuric acid continue to fall, there may be a phased reduction in smelting production. The psychological price ceiling of downstream users for copper is gradually rising. - In the long - term, the supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the copper price bottom. In the short - term, excessive price increases may inhibit demand. [2] Aluminum - The alumina market shows regional differentiation. The northern market shows signs of bottoming out, while the southern market continues to decline. The supply pressure has not been substantially relieved, and the demand side faces multiple pressures. - The recent rise in the aluminum price is mainly driven by events, with potential risks of short - term range corrections. Attention should be paid to the actual production progress of Indonesian electrolytic aluminum projects, the supply recovery progress of Guinean bauxite, and the inventory depletion rhythm. [4] Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy market followed the aluminum price to rise, but the downstream acceptance of high prices is limited, and the supply of scrap aluminum is short, leading to a contraction in industry supply. - The demand side shows a mild recovery, and the ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong and volatile trend under the dual effects of cost support and supply - demand balance. [5] Zinc - Against the background of concerns about LME zinc squeezing, the Shanghai zinc price oscillated at a high level. The supply is generally loose, but the subsequent increase in supply may be limited, and attention should be paid to the inflection point signal of supply changing from loose to tight. - The demand side has no unexpected performance. The low overseas inventory supports the zinc price, and the domestic zinc supply is relatively loose. The zinc price is expected to be volatile and strong in the short - term and may maintain a range - bound trend. [7] Tin - The supply of tin ore remains tight, and the improvement in supply is limited this year. The demand side is still weak, and although some consumption is driven by AI and the photovoltaic industry, it is difficult to make up for the decline in traditional consumption. - The market sentiment has improved, and the long - term low - position orders can be held. The follow - up should focus on macro changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar. [8] Nickel - The Shanghai nickel market oscillated and repaired slightly. The macro - market sentiment is weak, and attention should be paid to the 2026 RKAB approval in Indonesia. - The refined nickel production is still at a high level, with new projects put into production and some projects planning to reduce production. The nickel ore supply in the Philippines is affected by the rainy season, while that in Indonesia is relatively loose. The price of ferronickel is under pressure, and the overall fundamentals are flat, with the price expected to fluctuate within a range. [10] Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market oscillated narrowly, with weak market information. The macro - driving force is weakened, and the nickel ore supply in the Philippines is reduced, while that in Indonesia is relatively loose. - The ferronickel price is under pressure, and the chromium - iron market is weakly stable. The supply pressure remains, and the demand is not significantly boosted. The short - term price is expected to be weakly volatile. [12] Lithium Carbonate - The lithium - carbonate market was generally strong. The production increased slightly last week, mainly driven by lithium - spodumene and mica. The downstream demand is more optimistic than expected, but the news - side uncertainty and capital impact may put pressure on the price. - The price is expected to be volatile, with the main contract reference range of 78,000 - 82,000 yuan/ton. [14] 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided on industry investment ratings in the reports. 2. Core Views Copper - After the expectations of interest rate cuts and tariff benefits are realized, the short - term driving force is weak. In the medium and long term, the supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the bottom center of copper prices, but short - term rapid increases may suppress demand. The main contract should pay attention to the support at 86,000 - 86,500 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum - Cost support shows signs of bottoming, but the domestic social aluminum ingot inventory increases, and the operating rate of aluminum processing enterprises declines. The price may fluctuate between 20,500 - 20,800 yuan/ton, and there is a risk of a pullback [3]. Alumina - The price is expected to maintain a weak oscillation. Attention should be paid to the supply recovery progress of Guinea bauxite, the actual impact of domestic environmental protection policies on production, and the inventory depletion rhythm [3]. Casting Aluminum Alloy - Supported by cost and a tight supply - demand balance, the ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong oscillation, with the main contract reference range of 20,400 - 21,000 yuan/ton [5].

It may maintain a range - bound oscillation, with the main contract reference range of 22,300 - 23,000 yuan/ton [9]. Tin - Considering the strong fundamentals, a strategy of buying on dips is recommended. The follow - up should focus on macro changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter [11]. Nickel - The macro situation is stable, and the market sentiment is weak. The fundamentals are generally flat, and the medium - term supply is expected to be loose, restricting the upward space of prices. The main contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 118,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton [13]. Stainless Steel - Policy and macro - driving forces are gradually weakening, the supply - side pressure remains, and demand improvement is insufficient. The short - term disk is expected to continue to oscillate weakly, with the main contract operating range of 12,500 - 13,000 yuan/ton [14]. Lithium Carbonate - In November, the supply - demand change is expected to be limited. With strong demand expectations, the price decline space is limited.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The nickel market has high inventories and a supply surplus, and nickel prices are expected to remain in a low - level oscillation. However, the sharp reduction in nickel ore supply in the Philippines in the fourth quarter may lead to a rebound in nickel prices [3]. - The stainless - steel market has weak demand, rising inventories, and gradually weakening cost support. Stainless - steel prices are expected to maintain a low - level oscillation [4]. Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Variety Market Analysis - On November 3, 2025, the main contract 2512 of Shanghai nickel opened at 120,790 yuan/ton and closed at 120,950 yuan/ton, with a change of 0.26% compared to the previous trading day's closing price. The trading volume was 97,352 (- 1,139) lots, and the open interest was 108,671 (- 3,846) lots. The main contract showed a slight oscillatory upward trend. The Fed's hawkish stance strengthened the market's expectation of a cooling of the December interest - rate cut, and the stronger US dollar index may suppress the prices of foreign - market metals. But the RMB exchange - rate fluctuations offset the foreign - market pressure to some extent, and the import cost supported the domestic - market performance. China's comprehensive PMI output index in October remained at the critical point of 50.0%, showing overall economic stability and providing weak support for the demand for industrial metals [1]. - On November 20, 2025, the Shanghai Futures Exchange changed the electrolytic nickel delivery standard. From this date, electrolytic nickel produced according to GB/T 6516 - 2025 and ASTM B39 - 79(2023) is allowed to be used to make standard warehouse receipts for delivery. From November 18, 2027, electrolytic nickel produced according to GB/T 6516 - 2010 and ASTM B39 - 79(2013) cannot be warehoused to make standard warehouse receipts, but the existing ones can still be used for futures - contract delivery. The new standard improves the quality requirements for delivery products and sets a two - year transition period, which has a neutral - to - strong impact on prices in the long term [1]. - The nickel ore market was calm, and prices remained stable. There was strong market wait - and - see sentiment, and factory procurement enthusiasm was low. In the Philippines, increased rainfall in the Surigao mining area may cause delays in shipping. Downstream nickel - iron prices were under pressure, and iron plants were reluctant to accept high - priced nickel ore. In Indonesia, the November (first - phase) domestic trade benchmark price is expected to drop by 0.12 - 0.18 US dollars, and the current mainstream premium is + 26, with the premium range mostly between + 25 - 27 [2]. - Jinchuan Group's sales price in the Shanghai market was 123,300 yuan/ton, up 200 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. Spot trading was okay. Indonesian Yongheng nickel began to flow into the domestic market, and the spot premiums of various brands were slightly adjusted. Jinchuan nickel's premium changed by 50 yuan/ton to 2,600 yuan/ton, imported nickel's premium remained unchanged at 400 yuan/ton, and nickel beans' premium was 2,450 yuan/ton. The previous trading day's Shanghai nickel warehouse - receipt volume was 31,206 (- 182) tons, and LME nickel inventory was 252,750 (+ 648) tons [2]. Strategy - The strategy for nickel is mainly range - bound operation for the single - side, and there are no strategies for inter - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options [3]. Stainless - steel Variety Market Analysis - On November 3, 2025, the main contract 2512 of stainless steel opened at 12,675 yuan/ton and closed at 12,630 yuan/ton. The trading volume was 107,662 (- 12,218) lots, and the open interest was 77,047 (- 4,171) lots. The main contract continued the oscillatory weakening trend, mainly affected by the weakening of the black - metal sector [3][4]. - The Shanghai Futures Exchange updated the daily - target requirements for hot - rolled coil and stainless - steel futures contracts. The new standards mainly improve the quality requirements for delivery products and set a six - month transition period, which has a neutral - to - strong impact on prices in the long term [4]. - Market demand remained weak, spot trading was light, and traders faced great pressure to sell. Prices were lowered. The stainless - steel price in the Wuxi market was 12,900 (- 50) yuan/ton, and in the Foshan market, it was 12,950 (- 50) yuan/ton. The 304/2B premium was 295 - 595 yuan/ton. The ex - factory tax - included average price of high - nickel pig iron changed by - 1.50 yuan/nickel point to 922.5 yuan/nickel point [4]. Strategy - The strategy for stainless steel is neutral for the single - side, and there are no strategies for inter - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options [4].
