1. Report Information - Report Title: Precious Metals and Non - Ferrous Metals Industry Daily Report [2] - Report Date: May 7, 2025 [2] - Author: Xu Liang [3] - Reviewer: Tang Yun [3] 2. Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 3. Core Views Precious Metals - Shanghai Gold (SHFE) showed a high - level oscillating and回调 trend. The appreciation of the RMB exchange rate offset part of the upward transmission effect of international gold prices, and the post - holiday decline in domestic physical consumption demand made SHFE gold weaker than overseas markets. With multiple factors in play, SHFE gold will maintain an oscillating pattern [4]. Copper - Copper prices are affected by macro, sentiment, and expectations. In the short term, the absolute price of copper is difficult to predict, but volatility will remain high [16]. Zinc - Given the supply and demand situation and weak macro data, zinc prices are expected to maintain a weak oscillating trend in the short term [35]. Aluminum and Alumina - Aluminum is expected to oscillate in the short term. Alumina is likely to continue its weak performance due to an oversupply situation and bearish market sentiment [46]. Nickel - The nickel market remains stable in terms of fundamentals, with no significant changes in logic. The nickel market lacks obvious upward drivers [66]. Tin - Tin prices are expected to continue their narrow - range oscillation in the short term as the impact of macro factors on the fundamentals is not yet evident [80]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium salt prices are falling, and there is a risk of a spiral decline in ore and salt prices. Trade uncertainties may suppress long - term demand [91]. Silicon - With prices in the silicon industry chain falling, downstream polysilicon production cuts are more likely, and the supply side of industrial silicon is also showing signs of adjustment [99]. 4. Content Summary by Category Precious Metals - **Price Performance**: SHFE gold showed high - level oscillation and回调, affected by factors such as the RMB exchange rate and domestic consumption demand [4]. - **Influencing Factors**: The appreciation of the RMB exchange rate, post - holiday decline in domestic physical consumption demand, and multiple macro - factors contribute to the current situation of SHFE gold [4]. Copper - **Price Performance**: Copper prices are affected by multiple factors, and short - term volatility remains high. The latest prices of various copper contracts are provided, with daily price changes and percentage changes [16][17]. - **Influencing Factors**: Macro factors (US non - farm employment data and Sino - US tariff issues), market sentiment (disputes between bulls and bears), and policy expectations (upcoming financial policies) all impact copper prices [16].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles indicates a significant decline in lithium carbonate futures prices, with the main contract falling below 65,000 yuan per ton, reaching a historical low, driven by a combination of factors including weak demand and oversupply in the market [1][2] - The spot prices for lithium carbonate have dropped across the board, with battery-grade lithium carbonate reported at 65,350 yuan per ton, down 600 yuan in a single day, and industrial-grade lithium carbonate at 64,100 yuan per ton, reflecting a broader downward trend in the industry [1] - The cost side is collapsing, as major domestic and international mines have not seen further production cuts, and first-quarter financial reports indicate a decline in costs, allowing for further price reductions in lithium salts [1][2] Group 2 - The supply-demand imbalance is deepening, with expectations of a month-on-month increase in domestic lithium carbonate production in May, while high inventory levels are suppressing price rebound potential [2] - The industry is undergoing a significant reshuffle, with prices below 70,000 yuan impacting the cost lines of many companies, leading to a focus on cash flow management and resource control as key survival strategies [2] - The technical outlook remains bearish, with price movements following a downward channel, and multiple institutions agree that under the pressures of collapsing costs, increased supply, and weak demand, lithium carbonate prices are likely to remain under pressure [2]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The overall sentiment in the commodity market is weak, and the lithium carbonate futures market has hit a new low. The current supply of lithium carbonate exceeds demand, and this situation is expected to continue. With the downward shift of the spot transaction center driving down ore prices, and no reduction in the mining end despite lithium salt maintenance, the lithium price may still have room to fall under the weak macro - sentiment and fundamental situation [1][2][3]. 3. Summary by Related Content Market Analysis - On May 6, 2025, the opening price of the lithium carbonate main contract 2505 was 65,980 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 65,260 yuan/ton, a 1.45% decrease from the previous settlement price. The trading volume was 103,979 lots, and the open interest was 256,291 lots, an increase of 11,562 lots from the previous trading day. The total open interest of all contracts was 407,535 lots, a decrease of 3,011 lots from the previous day, and the total trading volume decreased by 17,431 lots.

Spot Market - According to SMM data, on May 6, 2025, the price of battery - grade lithium carbonate was 65,700 - 68,500 yuan/ton, a decrease of 8,500 yuan/ton from the previous day, and the price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate was 64,900 - 65,900 yuan/ton, a decrease of 8,000 yuan/ton from the previous day. Some lithium salt enterprises have carried out maintenance or production cuts, but the production reduction is less than expected, and the supply still exceeds demand. Although the downstream production schedule is rising, the procurement demand of downstream material factories has not improved significantly, and the spot market transactions are relatively sluggish [2].
