1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide a unified industry - wide investment rating. Instead, it gives specific investment suggestions for different metals: - Copper: Suggests waiting and seeing or trading in a light - position range [3] - Aluminum: Recommends waiting and seeing [3] - Zinc: Advises range trading [3] - Lead: Recommends range trading and being cautious and bearish [3] - Nickel: Suggests cautious short - holding or waiting and seeing [4] - Stainless steel: Recommends waiting and seeing [4] - Tin: Advises cautious range trading [4] - Industrial silicon: Recommends waiting and seeing [4] - Polysilicon: Suggests low - buying and high - selling [4] - Lithium carbonate: Recommends exiting and waiting and seeing [4] 2. Report's Core View - The macro - environment has a significant impact on metal prices. For example, the uncertainty of the Fed's policy and geopolitical conflicts affect market sentiment. At the same time, the fundamentals of supply and demand also play a crucial role in determining metal prices. Some metals are facing supply - side challenges such as production cuts or disruptions, while others are affected by changes in downstream demand. Overall, the market is complex and volatile, and different metals show different trends and investment opportunities [3][4]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Metals Market Analysis 3.1.1 Copper - Price trend: The Shanghai copper main contract continues to show a high - level volatile pattern. In the short term, it will remain at 85,000 - 88,000. The long - term demand outlook is optimistic, but in the short term, it is necessary to be vigilant about the suppression of consumption by high copper prices and the pressure brought by changes in the Fed's policy expectations [3]. - Fundamentals: Market consumption has improved recently, and social inventories have declined. The focus has shifted to the long - term contract negotiation of mines. Freeport - McMoRan plans to resume large - scale production in the Grasberg mine in Indonesia in the second quarter of 2026, which is expected to ease the anxiety about mine - end supply [3]. 3.1.2 Aluminum - Price trend: The price has fallen from a high level. The aluminum price is expected to fluctuate at the current position. - Fundamentals: The price of bauxite in Shanxi and Henan is stable, while the price of imported bauxite in Guinea has decreased.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - This week, the domestic and overseas lead prices showed different trends, with the domestic lead price stronger than the overseas one due to the increase in overseas inventories and the weak operation of LME lead [2]. - The Fed officials released dovish signals, slightly strengthening the expectation of interest rate cuts again. The gold price remained high, and the market sentiment was still pessimistic [2]. - The lead waste required for both primary and secondary lead remained in short supply. The processing fee of lead concentrate for primary lead continued to decline, and the processing fee of silver - containing lead concentrate was revised down again due to the new high of silver price, indicating that the raw material supply at the smelting end remained tight [2]. - In the short - term, lead is likely to fluctuate within a narrow range, with limited upside space. In the long - term, the possible consecutive interest rate cuts by the Fed will be beneficial to the lead price, and the domestic macro situation is also optimistic due to supply - side structural adjustment and lithium battery export restrictions [7][9]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - **Price Trend**: The domestic lead price was stronger than the overseas one this week because of the increase in overseas inventories and the weak operation of LME lead [2]. - **Macroeconomic Situation**: Fed officials released dovish signals, slightly strengthening the expectation of interest rate cuts. The gold price remained high, and the market sentiment was pessimistic [2]. - **Supply Side**: Lead waste and lead concentrate were in short supply. Primary lead had stable production due to by - product benefits but was not satisfied with the processing fee of imported ore. Secondary lead had low production willingness due to the small amount of scrap batteries [2]. - **Near - term Trading Logic**: The domestic demand in October was partly consumed by September policies and pre - holiday stockpiling. The lead import window opened, and the supply might be alleviated in the long run. Lead inventories might start to accumulate after the National Day, capping the upside of lead prices. In the short - term, lead would fluctuate within a narrow range with limited upside [7]. - **Long - term Trading Expectation**: The possible consecutive interest rate cuts by the Fed would be beneficial to the lead price, but the overseas macro impact on lead prices was relatively weak. The domestic macro situation was optimistic due to supply - side structural adjustment and lithium battery export restrictions [9]. 1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - **Short - term Option Strategy**: Sell wide - straddle options to collect premiums and stabilize returns [11]. - **Short - term Futures Strategy**: The current Shanghai lead main contract is in a narrow - range oscillation. The pressure level is around 17,300 yuan/ton, and the support level is around 16,600 yuan/ton. Adopt the strategy of high - selling and low - buying within the range. Try to go long lightly at 16,500 - 16,700 yuan/ton with a stop - loss at 16,400 yuan/ton; try to go short at 17,100 - 17,200 yuan/ton with a stop - loss at 17,300 yuan/ton [12]. - **Basis, Calendar Spread, and Hedging Arbitrage Strategy Recommendations**: The lead basis fluctuates little, so no basis strategy is recommended. The calendar spread is stable, so no calendar spread strategy is recommended. The lead - zinc spread is stable, and an internal - external positive spread can be tried when the export window opens [13][14][15]. 1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventories worried about price drops, short the Shanghai lead main futures contract at 17,400 yuan/ton with a hedging ratio of 75% [16]. - **Raw Material Management**: For enterprises with low raw - material inventories worried about price increases, long the Shanghai lead main futures contract at 16,500 yuan/ton with a hedging ratio of 50% [16]. 2. This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events to Watch 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: The US government shutdown has lasted for more than half a month, and the Senate's tenth vote on the temporary appropriation bill on October 16 still failed, with no sign of an end to the shutdown in the short - term [17]. - **Negative Information**: LME lead inventories increased to 250,400 tons [18]. - **Spot Transaction Information**: The latest price of SMM 1 lead daily average was 16,950 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton or 0.3%. The price of domestic lead concentrate was 16,600 yuan/ton, up 50 yuan/ton or 0.3%. The price of imported lead concentrate was 16,520.78 yuan/ton, down 111.89 yuan/ton or 0.67% [18]. 2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Watch - The annual rate of China's Q3 GDP and the annual rate of the US unadjusted CPI in September will be announced [19]. 3.

Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report presents weekly views on various non - ferrous metals, including copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel, stainless steel, tin, lithium carbonate, industrial silicon, and polysilicon. It analyzes the market conditions, supply - demand relationships, and price trends of each metal, and provides corresponding investment suggestions such as position - taking and trading strategies [1] 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs Copper - **Market sentiment**: Affected by the market volatility, interest rate cuts, and the trend of precious metals, copper prices reached a new high since the second half of last year, but there was profit - taking by early long - positions. The market is focusing on real - economy indicators such as September's European and American manufacturing data and August's US PCE [1] - **Domestic situation**: Spot prices are stable, and the market is in the pre - holiday stocking period. Inventories have a small outflow but still accumulate this month. Refined copper production decreased month - on - month, and scrap copper enterprises are reluctant to sell. The market is concerned about the supply supplement from imports [1] - **Overseas situation**: Freeport's Indonesian Grasberg mine has a small amount of production, and the second - stage expansion of Congo's Kakula copper mine is postponed, affecting the production forecast for next year [1] - **Trend**: There is some pre - holiday stocking support, but the pressure on consumption indicators should be continuously monitored. After the early long - positions stop losses, it is advisable to wait and see. The expected range of Shanghai copper is 79,000 - 80,600 yuan [1] Aluminum and Alumina - **Alumina**: The operating capacity increased by 400,000 tons to 9.795 million tons last week, reaching a new high. The market is in an oversupply state, and inventories are increasing. The price is weakly running, with support around 2,000 yuan [1] - **Aluminum**: The domestic operating capacity is stable at around 4 million tons. The downstream processing enterprise's operating rate decreased slightly. Aluminum exports showed a mixed performance. Aluminum ingot social inventories increased slightly, and aluminum rod inventories decreased. The spot discount narrowed, and the processing fee increased [1] - **Trend**: The downstream seasonal improvement is not obvious, and the apparent consumption is lower than expected. The price of Shanghai aluminum has fallen from a high level, with support at 20,500 yuan. It is necessary to pay attention to whether pre - holiday stocking can drive a positive feedback in inventory and spot [1] Zinc - **Market**: After the Fed's short - term interest rate cut, profit - taking led to a decline in zinc prices. The LME inventory is low, and the 0 - 3 - month premium has expanded. The domestic and foreign price trends are divergent, and the import ore ratio is not good [1] - **Supply**: Domestic smelters have maintenance plans in September, and zinc ingot supply is expected to decrease month - on - month. Social inventories have decreased, and the price has support at the 22,000 - yuan integer mark [1] - **Consumption**: The peak season is not prosperous, with weak orders in some industries. Although there is some low - level buying before the holiday, the demand growth expectation is insufficient [1] - **Trend**: Both domestic and foreign zinc ingots are destocking, and the decline space of the Shanghai - to - LME ratio is limited. There is a need for short - term profit - taking of cross - market arbitrage and short - selling funds. It is advisable to seize the opportunity of short - selling on the rebound of Shanghai zinc before the holiday [1] Lead - **Market**: The LME lead is under pressure, while the Shanghai lead has a phased improvement in fundamentals and rebounds with increased positions [1] - **Supply**: The overseas supply is tight, and the import loss has narrowed. The raw material supply at the mine end is tight, and some smelters may advance their winter shutdowns. The profit of secondary lead has recovered, but the overall operating rate is still low [1] - **Consumption**: Terminal consumption has recovered, and the downstream purchasing enthusiasm has improved before the holidays. The inventories of major lead - zinc smelters and secondary lead smelters have decreased [1] - **Trend**: The fundamentals of lead have improved, but the expected inflow of imported ingots may put pressure on the price rebound. Attention should be paid to the pressure at 17,300 yuan/ton [1] Nickel and Stainless Steel - **Market**: Shanghai nickel fluctuated at a low level, and Shanghai stainless steel rebounded slightly, but the trading activity was low [1] - **Macro and demand**: After the interest rate cut, long - positions tend to cash out. The downstream market is cautious, and high - price transactions are difficult. The cost increase momentum is insufficient, but the pre - holiday demand is emerging, and the cost support is obvious [1] - **Supply**: The premiums of various forms of nickel have different levels, and the inventories of nickel and stainless steel have changed. The inventory of pure nickel increased, the inventory of nickel goods decreased, and the inventory of stainless steel decreased [1] - **Trend**: The long - position themes of Shanghai nickel are exhausted, and the price is weakly running and is about to start a downward trend [1] Tin - **Market**: The prices of domestic and foreign tin encountered resistance and declined, and then found support at the MA400 moving average or lower levels. The LME squeeze is basically over [1] - **Supply**: There is a lack of new information. Domestic leading enterprises are under maintenance, and the supply of domestic and imported tin ore is tight. Indonesia's tin production target remains unchanged [1] - **Consumption**: After the price adjustment, there is some rigid - demand buying. The inventories in some statistics have decreased, but the domestic terminal production and exports are average [1] - **Trend**: After the reduction of the position - taking risk, the market focus turns to the domestic market. Tin prices are difficult to show a trend, and it is advisable to continue the "high - selling and low - buying" trading strategy [1] Lithium Carbonate - **Market**: The futures price of lithium carbonate rebounded with low - volume trading. The market speculation degree has decreased, and the difference between long and short positions has narrowed [1] - **Supply**: The total market inventory decreased by 1,000 tons to 137,500 tons, the smelter inventory decreased by 1,800 tons to 34,000 tons, and the downstream inventory increased by 1,200 tons to 59,600 tons [1] - **Demand**: Driven by the "Golden September and Silver October" in the traditional automobile sales season, the orders of material factories have increased significantly this month, and the overall industry demand is strong [1] - **Trend**: The low - level support is emerging, but after the industry's selling action is basically completed, combined with the anti - involution trend, the price is expected to be under pressure [1] Industrial Silicon - **Market**: The prices of industrial silicon and polysilicon diverged last week. The price of industrial silicon broke through the 900 - yuan/ton mark, mainly due to the cost support from coal production cuts in Xinjiang [1] - **Supply**: The production in September - October is expected to continue to increase, and the production reduction may be clear around the National Day. The production in the southwest is relatively stable [1] - **Demand**: The operating rate of polysilicon in September changed little, and the reduction expectation of leading enterprises in October has increased. The operating rate of organic silicon monomer factories is stable [1] - **Inventory**: The social inventory of industrial silicon increased by 4,000 tons to 543,000 tons [1] - **Trend**: The price of industrial silicon is affected by the rising coal cost and the expected elimination of backward furnace types. The supply - demand contradiction suppresses the price, and the upward space is limited [1] Polysilicon - **Market**: The futures price of polysilicon fluctuated in a range and showed a slight decline. The market sentiment cooled down. The energy - consumption limit standard is in the solicitation stage [1] - **Supply**: After the industry self - discipline meeting, the production of leading enterprises in October may decline, and the downstream silicon wafers are expected to reduce production synchronously [1] - **Inventory**: The inventory of polysilicon enterprises is unevenly distributed, and the total factory inventory decreased by 25,000 tons to 204,000 tons [1] - **Trend**: The capacity elimination of polysilicon is gradually advancing, and the spot price has a slight upward shift. The futures may face callback pressure, and attention should be paid to the support at 50,000 yuan/ton [1] Investment Recommendation - Hold long positions in the silver 2512 contract and raise the target price to 10,500 - 12,000, with a stop - loss at 9,100, due to the Fed's dovish stance and the appropriate gold - silver ratio [1]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The increase in recycled lead and the marginal improvement in demand will support lead prices. The price is expected to be in the range of 16,900 - 17,500 yuan/ton, with a neutral strength analysis [3][6]. - For unilateral trading, it is recommended that existing long positions be held, while new long positions should be taken with caution as the upside potential of prices is limited by the increase in recycled lead supply. For spread trading, the short - term improvement in consumption may lead to inventory reduction, so the Shanghai lead term positive spread can be held temporarily [6]. 3.
