The precious metals market ended its consecutive gains and slightly declined due to the fading of risk aversion and profit - taking by long positions at high levels. [7][8][9] - Future outlook: With an increased probability of a Fed rate cut in September, gold prices are expected to rise to over $3,600 in the short term. Silver prices may see increased volatility, and high - sell and low - buy operations are recommended. [9][10] - Funds: The holdings of gold and silver ETFs increased significantly in August, and the net long speculative positions showed an upward trend. [10] Financial Derivatives - Container Shipping Futures (EC) - Spot quotes: As of September 5, the spot prices of major shipping companies continued to decline slowly. [11] - Shipping indices: As of September 1, the SCFIS European line index and the US West line index declined. As of August 29, the SCFI composite index rose, but the Shanghai - Europe freight rate decreased. [11] - Fundamentals: As of September 2, the global container shipping capacity increased year - on - year. The Eurozone's composite PMI and the US manufacturing PMI showed different trends. [11] - Logic: The futures market declined, and the upward momentum was suppressed by the weak spot market. There may be a bottom - fishing opportunity for the December contract, and a spread arbitrage strategy between the December and October contracts is recommended. [12] - Operation suggestion: Expect a weak oscillation and consider a spread arbitrage strategy between the December and October contracts. [12] Commodity Futures - Non - Ferrous Metals Copper - Spot: As of September 4, copper prices rose, but the spot trading was weak. [13] - Macro: The Fed's stance became more dovish, increasing the probability of a rate cut in September. Key events in September, such as the release of economic data and the FOMC meeting, may cause market fluctuations. [13][14] - Supply: The TC of copper concentrate was at a low level. The domestic electrolytic copper production in August decreased slightly month - on - month and was expected to decline further in September due to factors such as maintenance and supply shortages. [14] - Demand: The operating rates of copper rod production decreased. The domestic demand remained resilient, but there was marginal pressure in Q3. The power and new energy sectors supported the demand. [15] - Inventory: The LME copper inventory decreased, while the domestic social inventory and COMEX copper inventory increased. [15] - Logic: The Fed's dovish stance boosted copper prices, but the upside was limited by concerns about stagflation. The fundamentals showed a "weak reality + stable expectation" state. Copper prices are expected to at least oscillate and may enter a new upward cycle when the commodity and financial attributes resonate. [16] - Operation suggestion: The main contract is expected to operate in the range of 79,000 - 81,000 yuan/ton. [16] - Short - term view: Oscillation. [16] Alumina - Spot: On September 4, the spot prices of alumina in various regions decreased, and the inventory decreased slightly from a high level, causing the spot prices to loosen. [16] - Supply: In August 2025, the production of metallurgical - grade alumina in China increased year - on - year and month - on - month. With the industry still profitable, the operating capacity is expected to continue to increase slightly in September. [17] - Inventory: As of September 4, the port inventory remained unchanged week - on - week, while the registered warehouse receipts increased. [17] - Logic: The alumina futures oscillated, and the market was dominated by fundamentals. The supply was under pressure due to new capacity, while the demand was weak. The inventory continued to accumulate, suppressing the price. The downside is limited, and the upside requires supply disruptions or sentiment catalysts. [18] - Operation suggestion: The main contract is expected to operate in the range of 2,900 - 3,200 yuan/ton. Consider short - selling on rallies in the medium term. [18][19] - View: Weak oscillation, short - selling on rallies in the medium term. [19] Aluminum - Spot: On September 4, the spot price of A00 aluminum decreased, and the premium increased. [19] - Supply: In August 2025, the domestic electrolytic aluminum production increased year - on - year and month - on - month. The proportion of molten aluminum increased, and the ingot casting volume decreased. [19] - Demand: The operating rates of downstream industries showed marginal improvement. [20] - Inventory: On September 4, the domestic electrolytic aluminum social inventory increased week - on - week, and the inventory inflection point was not clear. [20][21] - Logic: The Fed's rate - cut expectation boosted the market sentiment, but the high price suppressed downstream procurement, and the inventory increase pressured the price. Aluminum prices are expected to remain range - bound, and attention should be paid to the actual demand during the peak season, inventory changes, and macro - policy implementation. [21] - Operation suggestion: The main contract is expected to operate in the range of 20,400 - 21,000 yuan/ton. [21] - View: Wide - range oscillation. [21] Aluminum Alloy - Spot: On September 4, the spot price of ADC12 aluminum alloy remained unchanged. [21] - Supply: In July, the production of recycled aluminum alloy ingots increased, and the operating rate increased. In August, the industry was in the off - season, but some enterprises may increase production in anticipation of the peak season. [22] - Demand: In August, the demand was weak, but it showed marginal improvement at the end of the month. The demand is expected to recover moderately in September. [22] - Inventory: The social inventory increased due to the off - season. [22] - Logic: The futures price oscillated with the aluminum price. The supply of scrap aluminum was tight, and the demand was in the off - season. As the peak season approaches, the spot price is expected to remain stable, and the price difference with aluminum may converge. [23][24] - Operation suggestion: The main contract is expected to operate in the range of 20,000 - 20,600 yuan/ton. Consider a spread arbitrage strategy if the price difference is over 500. [24] - View: Strong oscillation. [24] Zinc - Spot: On September 4, the average price of 0 zinc ingots decreased, and the spot trading improved after the futures price declined. [24] - Supply: The TC of zinc concentrate remained high, and the supply of zinc ore was loose. The production of refined zinc in August was higher than expected, and it is expected to continue to increase in 1 - 9 months of 2025. [25] - Demand: The operating rates of primary processing industries were at a seasonal low but had limited room for further decline. The downstream procurement sentiment improved after the zinc price declined. [26] - Inventory: The domestic social inventory increased, while the LME inventory decreased. [26] - Logic: The supply of zinc ore was loose, and the production of refined zinc was high. The demand was about to enter the peak season, and the spot trading improved. The global inventory was low, providing support for the price. Zinc prices are expected to oscillate, and upward or downward breakthroughs require specific conditions. [27] - Operation suggestion: The main contract is expected to operate in the range of 21,500 - 23,000 yuan/ton. [27] - Short - term view: Oscillation. [27] Tin - Spot: On September 4, the price of 1 tin decreased, and the market trading was mixed. [27] - Supply: In July, the domestic tin ore import decreased, and the supply was difficult to improve in the short term. The tin ingot import increased. [28][29] - Demand and inventory: The operating rate of the soldering tin industry decreased, and the demand was weak. The LME inventory and the warehouse receipts of the Shanghai Futures Exchange increased, while the social inventory decreased. [29] - Logic: The supply of tin ore was tight, and the demand was weak. The tin price oscillated at a high level. If the supply recovers smoothly, consider short - selling on rallies; otherwise, the price is expected to continue to oscillate at a high level. [30] - Operation suggestion: The operating range is expected to be 265,000 - 285,000 yuan/ton. [30] - Recent view: Wide - range oscillation. [30] Nickel - Spot: As of September 4, the price of electrolytic nickel decreased, and the premium of imported nickel remained unchanged. [30] - Supply: In July 2025, the production of refined nickel increased year - on - year and month - on - month, and the monthly production plan is expected to increase slightly. [31] - Demand: The demand for electroplating and alloy was stable, while the demand for stainless steel was general. The demand for nickel sulfate was under pressure. [31] - Inventory: The overseas inventory remained high, the domestic social inventory decreased, and the bonded area inventory remained stable. [31] - Logic: The strengthening of the US dollar suppressed the non - ferrous metal market. The nickel price oscillated weakly, and the cost provided some support. The supply is expected to be loose in the medium term, restricting the upside. The price is expected to adjust within a range. [32] - Operation suggestion: The main contract is expected to operate in the range of 118,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton. [32][33] - Short - term view: Range adjustment. [32] Stainless Steel - Spot: As of September 4, the spot price of 304 cold - rolled stainless steel remained unchanged, and the basis increased. [33][34] - Raw materials: The price of nickel ore was stable, and the price of nickel iron was strong. The price of chrome ore was supported by cost, and the supply of chrome iron was tight. [34] - Supply: In August, the domestic stainless steel production increased, and the production is expected to continue to increase in September. [34] - Inventory: The social inventory decreased slowly, and the warehouse receipts decreased. [35] - Logic: The stainless steel futures oscillated slightly lower. The cost was supported by raw material prices, but the demand was weak. The market is cautiously optimistic about the peak season, but the demand is still weak. The price is expected to oscillate within a range. [36] - Operation suggestion: The main contract is expected to operate in the range of 12,600 - 13,400 yuan/ton. [36][37] - Short - term view: Range oscillation. [36] Lithium Carbonate - Spot: As of September 4, the spot prices of battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate decreased. The salt factories were reluctant to sell, while the traders were more willing to sell. The downstream procurement was mainly for rigid demand. [37] - Supply: In August, the production of lithium carbonate increased. The supply was affected by factors such as mine permit approval, and imports supplemented the supply. [38] - Demand: The demand was robust and optimistic, but the significant driving force was not obvious. The demand in September is expected to increase. [38] - Inventory: The overall inventory decreased last week, with the upstream inventory decreasing and the downstream inventory increasing. [39] - Logic: The lithium carbonate futures opened low and closed high, and the market sentiment improved. The fundamentals remained in a tight - balance state. The price is expected to oscillate widely around 75,000 yuan/ton and then stabilize. [39][40] - Operation suggestion: Wait and see. [40] - Short - term view: Wide - range oscillation. [40] Commodity Futures - Black Metals Steel - Spot: The steel billet price remained stable, and the spot prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil increased slightly. The January contract of rebar had a premium over the spot, while the January contract of hot - rolled coil had a discount. [40] - Cost and profit: The cost support is expected to weaken due to the limited supply recovery of coking coal and the slight increase in iron ore inventory. The steel profit decreased significantly in August. [41] - Supply: From January to August, the iron element production increased year - on - year. In August, the production increased compared with July, mainly due to the increase in scrap steel consumption. This week, the iron water production decreased due to production restrictions, but it is expected to recover next week. The production of finished steel products decreased less than that of iron water. [41] - Demand: The domestic demand and export increased in the first half of the year, but the domestic demand is expected to weaken seasonally. The steel export remained high. The apparent demand decreased seasonally in August but is expected to recover. [41] - Inventory: The inventory of five major steel products increased, mainly due to the increase in rebar inventory. The inventory increase is expected to slow down in the future. [42] - View: This week, the supply and demand
