Precious Metals - On Wednesday, international precious metal prices oscillated at a high level and closed slightly higher. The decline of the US PPI data strengthened the expectation of interest rate cuts, providing support for the precious metal market. The US 8 - month PPI decreased by 0.1% month - on - month and increased by 2.6% year - on - year, both lower than expected. Precious metal prices are expected to continue to operate at a high level, and it is not advisable to chase high in the short term [4][5]. Copper - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai copper oscillated strongly, and LME copper broke through the integer mark. The decline of the US PPI strengthened the expectation of the Fed's preventive interest rate cut. China's copper ore imports increased in August.

Aluminum - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai aluminum closed at 20790 yuan/ton, up 0.19%. The decline of the US PPI and Trump's pressure on the Fed strengthened the market's expectation of interest rate cuts.

The aluminum market atmosphere is positive, and Shanghai aluminum is expected to continue its strong trend [8][9][10]. Alumina - On Wednesday, the main contract of alumina futures closed at 2933 yuan/ton, down 0.37%. The alumina market is in an oversupply situation. The resumption of production of previously overhauled capacity and the possible inflow of imports may increase the supply pressure, and alumina is expected to continue its weak trend [11]. Zinc - On Wednesday, the main contract of Shanghai zinc oscillated strongly. The unexpected cooling of the US PPI strengthened the expectation of interest rate cuts, which boosted zinc prices. However, the fundamentals are still weak, and consumption improvement is not obvious. Zinc prices are expected to oscillate at a low level in the short term [12].

Industrial silicon prices are expected to oscillate in the short term [16][17]. Lithium Carbonate - On Wednesday, the price of lithium carbonate opened lower with a gap and then ran strongly.

Lithium carbonate prices are expected to oscillate widely in the short term [18]. Nickel - On Wednesday, nickel prices oscillated strongly. The unexpected cooling of the US PPI and the call for interest rate cuts did not have a significant impact on nickel prices. The market has fully priced in the expectation of interest rate cuts in September. In the industry, the price of Indonesian nickel ore is stable, and the demand for raw materials from steel enterprises is not strong. Nickel prices are expected to oscillate in the short term, and attention should be paid to the RKAB approval in Indonesia [19][20]. Crude Oil - On Wednesday, oil prices oscillated strongly. The EIA crude oil inventory increased, and OPEC is discussing whether to gradually lift the production cut. Geopolitical risks may boost oil prices in the short term, but the fundamental situation is bearish. Oil prices are expected to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the results of the OPEC meeting [21]. Steel (Screw and Coil) - On Wednesday, steel futures oscillated at a low level. Terminal demand is weak, and the spot market trading volume is low. After the concentrated resumption of production of northern steel mills, supply pressure increases. Steel prices are expected to stabilize at a low level and oscillate, and attention should be paid to the realization of demand [22]. Iron Ore - On Wednesday, iron ore futures oscillated strongly. With the concentrated resumption of production of northern blast furnaces, there is a demand for replenishment. Although port inventory has increased, the supply pressure is not large. Iron ore prices are expected to oscillate strongly [24]. Soybean and Rapeseed Meal - On Wednesday, the soybean meal and rapeseed meal contracts closed down. The precipitation in the eastern US soybean - producing area is less than average, and there is an expectation of a decrease in yield. Domestic spot supply is sufficient, and the basis is weak. The market is waiting for the USDA report, and soybean and rapeseed meal prices are expected to oscillate in the short term [25]. Palm Oil - On Wednesday, palm oil contracts closed down. The MPOB report showed an increase in inventory and production and a decrease in exports in August. High - frequency data also showed a decline in exports in early September.
