1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - The current high - volatility in the non - ferrous metals market is due to the reversal of the "loose dollar credit + loose liquidity expectation" narrative and profit - taking after prices reached historical highs. However, the non - ferrous metals market is not over, and there will be differentiation among varieties. Copper and aluminum with industrial demand are better than gold in the short term [3][4]. - The rise in raw material costs may accelerate the "survival of the fittest" in the manufacturing industry. China's manufacturing industry, represented by the chemical industry, may see an increase in share, and the market has not fully priced this trend [5]. - In the next stage, demand and competition pattern changes will be the focus of pricing. The revaluation logic of physical assets will shift from liquidity and dollar credit to low industrial inventory and stable demand. Different investment directions are recommended, including physical assets, manufacturing, consumer sectors, and non - bank finance [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 How to View the High Volatility of Non - Ferrous Metals? - **Reasons for the non - ferrous metals market rally**: The rally is driven by loose dollar credit, loose liquidity expectations, and new industrial demand narratives. Financial capital, previously under - allocated to physical assets, has rushed in [3][12]. - **Reasons for the recent adjustment**: The nomination of the Fed Chairman nominee has reversed the "loose dollar credit + loose liquidity expectation" narrative, and there has been profit - taking after prices reached historical highs. Trump's nomination of Warsh presents a blueprint for "restoring dollar credit," including Fed "balance - sheet reduction" to control inflation and subsequent interest rate cuts to support economic growth. To smooth market fluctuations, the US government needs to reshape the buying of US Treasuries, and the "petrodollar" cycle becomes more important [3][16]. - **Market outlook**: The current decline does not mean the end of the non - ferrous metals market. Copper and gold have a high winning rate in the 10, 20, and 60 trading days after a decline. Copper and aluminum with industrial demand are better than gold. Traditional industrial demand is less affected by price increases, and emerging industrial demand is still strong but with weakening expectations. The overall economy shows a "weak recovery" [4][30][33]. 3.2 Low - Volatility Alternatives: Manufacturing with Increasing Share - The increase in raw material costs accelerates the "survival of the fittest" in the manufacturing industry. China's manufacturing industry, especially the chemical industry, has expanded its share due to scale effects, technological progress, and energy cost advantages. The market has not fully priced this trend, as Chinese chemical companies have lower valuations compared to those in the US and India, while Japanese and South Korean chemical companies have shrinking shares [5][41]. 3.3 Demand and Competition Pattern Changes Will Be the Focus of Pricing in the Next Stage - The high volatility in the non - ferrous metals market does not mean the end of the physical asset market. The revaluation logic of physical assets will shift from liquidity and dollar credit to low industrial inventory and stable demand. The "petrodollar" system will be strengthened. - Recommended investment directions include: physical assets such as crude oil, oil transportation, copper, aluminum, tin, and lithium; manufacturing sectors like chemical industry (petrochemical, printing and dyeing, coal chemical, pesticides, polyurethane, titanium dioxide); consumer sectors such as duty - free, hotels, and food and beverage; and non - bank finance [6][46][47].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, hold non - ferrous metals, oil and gas, and rare earths until the US economy faces a recession crisis. The long - end interest rate in the US is likely to rise, and the US economy may overheat. The macro market's political volatility will decline, and the trading will focus on economic and policy factors. Gold is expected to reach around $6,000 per ounce, and silver's high is expected to be around $120 per ounce. Copper prices are expected to remain firm due to Fed rate cuts and supply - demand gaps. The electrolytic aluminum market may have an upward trend, with a global supply shortage [10][35][98]. Summary by Directory Asset Allocation: Macroeconomic Contradictions and Allocation Strategies - The US Treasury drives currency and inflation. The continuous growth of US Treasury debt is backed by GDP. Since 2000, the US government's expenditure/GDP ratio has been rising, and the deficit rate is high. If the stock market has a crisis, it may bring opportunities for commodities. The sensitivity of non - ferrous metals to interest rates has increased since 2020, and the game between the Fed and global commodity inflation has intensified [4][13]. - In 2026, hold non - ferrous metals, oil and gas, and rare earths. The US economy may overheat, and the long - end interest rate is likely to rise. The macro market's political volatility will decline, and trading will focus on economic and policy factors [10][35]. Precious Metals: Where Are Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium Headed? - Gold is at a new starting point. Due to geopolitical risks and dovish Fed expectations, it is recommended to increase gold allocation, focus on unilateral long positions and call option strategies. For silver, it is recommended to take profit on long positions and consider long positions in the gold - silver ratio. In 2026, gold is expected to reach around $6,000 per ounce, and silver is expected to have a high of around $120 per ounce [29][35]. - Platinum and palladium are driven by the precious metals sector. They have strong follow - up elasticity but are also affected by the callback of gold and silver. The current upward trend of platinum is relatively healthy, and there is a possibility of a new high. Palladium may have supplementary upward momentum [36]. Copper: How to Choose the Trading Mode under the Background of Weak Reality and Strong Expectations? - In terms of trading, copper price volatility has declined, and the positions of SHFE and LME copper are at historical highs. The term structure of SHFE copper has weakened, and the spot import loss has narrowed. Globally, the total copper inventory is at a historical high, and the LC spread has narrowed [37][44][48]. - The global copper mine supply in 2025 was lower than expected, and the increase in 2026 is limited. The supply disturbance has increased, mainly due to factors such as reduced ore grades, strikes, and geopolitics. The domestic smelting capacity is expanding, and the refined copper output is expected to increase by 68.75 million tons in 2026 [62][66][69]. - In terms of consumption, high - quality consumption such as AI computing centers and new energy consumption contribute significantly to copper consumption. The "14th Five - Year Plan" in China supports power grid investment, which will drive copper consumption. Traditional industries also show an increase in copper consumption, but there are differences among countries [75][80][92]. - The global refined copper supply will shift from surplus in 2025 to a shortage in 2026. It is expected that the global copper supply will have a shortage of 197,000 tons in 2026, and the Chinese market will have a shortage of 191,500 tons. Copper prices are expected to remain firm in 2026 [95][96][98]. Electrolytic Aluminum: How to Grasp the Contradictions and Rhythms after the Abnormal Breakthrough? - In 2025, the electrolytic aluminum market was in a state of shock convergence. In the fourth quarter, the stock - futures linkage opened up the upward elasticity. In 2026, it is expected that the market will continue the upward - looking trend, with a global supply shortage of 420,000 - 760,000 tons. The short - term rhythm needs to pay attention to the decline in photovoltaic enterprise production, and the risks include macro - recession and over - production in Indonesia [100][101][104]. - Currently, the Shanghai aluminum is in a high - level shock, with a neutral - strong position. The short - term micro - demand is weak, but the macro - risk preference is optimistic, and it has marginal upward momentum [110]. Over - the - Counter Options: How to Use Option Hedging Tools under High Volatility and High Prices? - For long positions, when the price is high, consider replacing with in - the - money call options to retain the upside potential and control the maximum drawdown. You can also use spread options to optimize costs with a capped upside [118][122]. - For selling hedging of inventory, consider buying put collar options to optimize the hedging cost, limit inventory price fluctuations between $100,000 - $120,000, and receive an option premium of $150 per ton [126].
