Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Futures Tin Risk Management Daily Report - Date: August 18, 2025 - Research Team: Nanhua Non-ferrous Metals Research Team [1] Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - Tin prices declined slightly on Thursday, fluctuating with the non-ferrous metals sector. Recently, macro factors have had limited impact. On the supply side, the repeated postponement of the full resumption of production in Myanmar's tin mines has significantly supported tin prices and may have a continuous impact. According to Alphamin's financial report, the impact of the production cut at the Bisie tin mine exceeded expectations, driving up short-term tin prices. There has been no significant change in demand [3]. Summary by Category Price and Volatility - The latest closing price of tin is 266,820 yuan/ton, with a monthly price range forecast of 245,000 - 263,000 yuan/ton. The current volatility is 14.36%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility is 26.1% [2]. Risk Management Recommendations - **Inventory Management**: For high finished product inventory and concerns about price drops, sell 75% of the Shanghai Tin main futures contract at around 275,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of the SN2510C275000 call option when the volatility is appropriate [2]. - **Raw Material Management**: For low raw material inventory and concerns about price increases, buy 50% of the Shanghai Tin main futures contract at around 230,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of the SN2510P245000 put option when the volatility is appropriate [2]. Market Factors - **Likely Positive Factors**: Sino-US tariff policy easing, the semiconductor sector remaining in the expansion cycle, and the resumption of production in Myanmar falling short of expectations [7]. - **Likely Negative Factors**: Repeated tariff policies, the inflow of Myanmar's tin mines into China, and the slowdown of the semiconductor sector's expansion speed, gradually moving from the expansion cycle to the contraction cycle [5]. Futures and Spot Data - **Futures Data**: The latest prices of Shanghai Tin main, continuous first, and continuous third contracts are 266,820 yuan/ton, 266,820 yuan/ton, and 267,360 yuan/ton respectively, with no daily change.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - Copper prices rose slightly during the week and then fell, which was basically in line with expectations. Macroeconomic conditions remained stable, and the US retail sales data for July met expectations. The El Teniente copper mine in Chile restarted after a week of repairs, having a limited impact on copper prices. In the coming week, copper prices are likely to continue to fluctuate and may be slightly stronger. The lower support level for copper prices has been raised from 77,000 yuan per ton to 78,000 yuan per ton. The release of the Fed's meeting minutes and Powell's speech at the global central bank annual meeting are expected to have a limited impact on copper prices [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Copper Price Volatility and Risk Management - The latest copper price is 79,060 yuan, with a monthly price range forecast of 73,000 - 80,000 yuan. The current volatility is 11.64%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility is 22.6% [2] - For inventory management with high finished - product inventory and concerns about price drops, it is recommended to sell 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 82,000 yuan and sell 25% of the CU2510C82000 call option when volatility is relatively stable. For raw material management with low raw material inventory and concerns about price increases, it is recommended to buy 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 77,000 yuan [2] Factors Affecting Copper Prices Bullish Factors - The US reaches an agreement on tariff policies with other countries - Increased expectations of interest rate cuts lead to a decline in the US dollar index, boosting the valuation of non - ferrous metals - The lower support level for copper prices is raised [4][5] Bearish Factors - Tariff policies are inconsistent - Global demand decreases due to tariff policies - The adjustment of the US copper tariff policy causes an extremely high virtual inventory in COMEX [5][7] Copper Futures and Spot Market Data Futures Data - The latest price of the Shanghai copper main contract is 79,060 yuan/ton, with no daily change; the Shanghai copper continuous - one contract is 79,060 yuan/ton, up 110 yuan (0.14%); the Shanghai copper continuous - three contract is 79,040 yuan/ton, with no daily change; the LME copper 3M is 9,760 US dollars/ton, down 17 US dollars (-0.17%); the Shanghai - London ratio is 8.2, up 0.06 (0.74%) [6] Spot Data - The latest price of Shanghai Non - Ferrous 1 copper is 79,180 yuan/ton, down 255 yuan (-0.32%); Shanghai Wumaotrade is 79,170 yuan/ton, down 295 yuan (-0.37%); Guangdong Southern Reserve is 79,010 yuan/ton, down 380 yuan (-0.48%); Yangtze Non - Ferrous is 79,300 yuan/ton, down 300 yuan (-0.38%) [13] Copper Scrap Price Difference - The current tax - included scrap price difference is 1,098.51 yuan/ton, down 30 yuan (-2.66%); the reasonable tax - included scrap price difference is 1,492.9 yuan/ton, down 0.3 yuan (-0.02%); the tax - included price advantage is - 394.39 yuan/ton, down 29.7 yuan (8.14%) [17] Copper Warehouse Receipt and Inventory Data Warehouse Receipts - The total Shanghai copper warehouse receipts are 24,560 tons, up 126 tons (0.52%); the total international copper warehouse receipts are 7,422 tons, with no change [21] Inventory - The total LME copper inventory is 155,800 tons, down 50 tons (-0.03%); the total COMEX copper inventory is 267,195 tons, up 3,055 tons (1.16%) [24][25] Copper Import Profit and Processing Data - The copper import profit is 144.92 yuan/ton, up 100.37 yuan (225.3%); the copper concentrate TC is - 37.67 US dollars/ton, up 0.33 US dollars (-0.87%) [26]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The futures prices of each contract of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) continued to fluctuate. As of the close, except for a slight decline in the EC2604 contract, the prices of the remaining contracts slightly rebounded. Some contracts have reached short - term lows, some short - sellers took profits and left the market, and the trading sentiment was relatively calm. Affected by geopolitical risks, the futures prices continued a slight upward trend. The decline of the SCFI European Line has widened, and it is expected that the EC will generally continue to fluctuate or return to a fluctuating trend. In the medium term, without sudden events, based on fundamental considerations, the overall futures price trend may still be slightly downward [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs EC Risk Management Strategy Suggestions - For position management, if one has obtained positions but the shipping capacity is full or the booking volume is poor, and is worried about the decline in freight rates, with a long spot position, one can short the container shipping index futures (EC2510) at 1450 - 1550 to lock in profits [1]. - For cost management, if shipping companies increase the intensity of blank sailings or the market is about to enter the peak season, and they want to book cabins according to order situations, with a short spot position, they can buy the container shipping index futures (EC2510) at 1200 - 1300 to determine the booking cost in advance [1].

Core Contradictions - Intraday, Shanghai nickel showed a weak and volatile trend with no obvious changes in fundamentals. Nickel ore arrival inventory remained at a high level, and the bottom support was loosening, with a clear situation of strong supply and weak demand. Nickel iron remained firm intraday, with strong price support willingness from the supply side, but the actual acceptance of steel mills remained to be considered. The new energy chain salt plants had some support recently, with increased demand from some downstream precursor plants and relatively stable transactions. Stainless steel also corrected its previous gains intraday, and attention should be paid to whether it can stabilize above 13,000 yuan/ton. In the spot market, the previous follow-up increase in transactions was poor, and there was a certain downward adjustment at present. The expectation of strong supply and weak demand in August continued. Macroscopically, the subsequent trend of the US dollar index can be monitored [4] 4. Market Analysis 4.1. Bullish Factors - Indonesia's APNI plans to revise the HPM formula and include elements such as iron and cobalt - Indonesia shortens the nickel ore quota license period from three years to one year - The construction of the Yarlung Zangbo River Hydropower Station may increase the demand for stainless steel [6] 4.2. Bearish Factors - Stainless steel enters the traditional off-season of demand, and inventory reduction is slow - Pure nickel inventory is high - Seasonal increase in nickel ore inventory, with loosening bottom support - Sino-US tariff disturbances still exist - South Korea plans to impose anti-dumping duties on China's hot-rolled products [6] 5.
