Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided Group 2: Core View - The main contract of Shanghai copper shows a volatile trend, with decreasing positions, spot premium, and strengthening basis. The copper ore supply remains tight with strong quotes, supporting the copper price. The supply of refined copper in China is expected to decrease due to raw - material supply tightness and reduced smelter profits. The demand has increased slightly due to the slight decline in copper prices and pre - holiday stockpiling needs, leading to a small reduction in social inventory. The option market sentiment is bullish with a slightly rising implied volatility. It is recommended to conduct short - term long trades at low prices with light positions, paying attention to the trading rhythm and risks [2] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In August, copper prices fluctuated within a range, and prices were boosted by macro - factors at the end of the month. The implementation of US copper tariffs led to a narrowing of price spreads. COMEX copper ended a more than half - year tariff - expected trading with a 24% weekly decline, and the $3000 premium spread between COMEX and LME copper disappeared overnight. Macro expectations are leaning towards an increased probability of interest rate cuts in September, and domestic policy expectations are strengthening with a bright performance in the equity market. In the industrial fundamentals, although it was the off - season in China in August, the spot premium was strong, smelting profits did not improve significantly, and production declined month - on - month. After the tariff implementation, global visible inventories increased further. The flow of the 260,000 tons of COMEX copper inventory (with a cumulative increase of 170,000 tons this year) is crucial, and it may flow back to the LME copper market. During the re - balancing process, the emergence of invisible inventories due to demand shocks may affect the international copper price pricing center. In August, the copper price game was dull, with no obvious signs of long or short position increases and a low overall position level. However, the main price variable is still overseas. With the increasing certainty of interest rate cuts and the expectation of the peak season, copper prices may oscillate strongly, but attention should be paid to the weekly line pressure at the 80,000 level [4][5][83][84]. 3. Summaries According to the Directory Macro - level - In August, the Eurozone's manufacturing PMI rebounded (the preliminary value in August was 50.05%, a 0.7 - percentage - point month - on - month increase), while the US manufacturing level declined (the preliminary value of the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI in July was 49.5%, a 3.4 - percentage - point month - on - month decrease, hitting a nine - month low and remaining below the boom - bust line for four consecutive months). China's manufacturing PMI in August was 49.4%, a 0.1 - percentage - point month - on - month increase, remaining below the boom - bust line for five consecutive months. The manufacturing industry was in a passive de - stocking stage under weak recovery, with a slight expansion in supply, a further decline in inventory, and a price increase, indicating an increase in apparent demand due to macro - policy stimulus. The implementation of US tariff policies and whether there will be incremental fiscal policies in China in the fourth quarter to promote the manufacturing industry into an active inventory - replenishment stage need to be continuously monitored. Macro expectations are leaning towards an increased probability of interest rate cuts. Under the continuous pressure from the Trump administration, Powell may change his monetary policy stance and not prioritize inflation control. After the marginal weakening of the US economic "hard data", the probability of an interest rate cut in September has increased significantly. Domestic policy expectations are strengthening, and the equity market is performing well [11][12].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings are provided in the reports. Core Views Copper - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp as expected. The impact of rate cuts on copper prices depends on the reason and macro - background. The previous loose trading may end, and attention should be paid to whether the macro - market style switches to recovery trading. The copper market is in a state of "weak reality + stable expectation". In the short - term, it will at least maintain a volatile trend, and the main contract reference range is 79,000 - 81,000 [1]. Aluminum - The alumina futures price was volatile last week. The supply pressure is prominent, and the demand pull from electrolytic aluminum is limited. The alumina price is expected to fluctuate between 2900 - 3200 yuan/ton. The electrolytic aluminum price is expected to be volatile in the short - term, with the main contract reference range of 20,600 - 21,000 yuan/ton, and attention should be paid to the double - festival stocking and inventory inflection point [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy futures price declined last week. The cost support is significant, and the demand is in a mild recovery.

Zinc - The import TC is rising steadily, and the supply side is expected to be loose. The demand side shows differentiation at home and abroad. The zinc price is expected to be mainly volatile in the short - term, with the main contract reference range of 21,500 - 22,500 [7]. Tin - The Fed cut interest rates in September. The tin ore supply is tight, and the demand is weak. The tin price is expected to remain volatile at a high level, with the reference range of 265,000 - 285,000. Attention should be paid to the tin ore import from Myanmar [9]. Nickel - The nickel price was volatile last week. After the Fed's rate cut, the macro - sentiment was digested. There is no obvious change in the spot transaction of refined nickel. The price is expected to fluctuate within the range of 120,000 - 125,000, and attention should be paid to the macro - expectation and ore news [11]. Stainless Steel - The stainless steel price declined slightly last week. The raw material price is firm, but the peak - season demand has not been realized. The short - term price is expected to be in an oscillatory adjustment, with the main contract reference range of 12,800 - 13,200. Attention should be paid to the steel mill dynamics and peak - season demand [13]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate futures price was volatile last week.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views - **Copper**: The Fed's "preventive" rate cut may lead the US dollar to gradually bottom out. The copper market is in a state of "weak reality + stable expectation". In the medium - long term, supply - demand contradictions provide bottom support, and the copper price center will gradually rise. In the short term, it will at least maintain a volatile trend. The main contract is expected to trade between 79,000 - 81,000 yuan/ton [1]. - **Aluminum**: For alumina, considering the cost, the downside space is limited, while the upside needs Guinea's supply changes or macro - sentiment catalysis. It is expected to trade between 2900 - 3200 yuan/ton in the short term. For electrolytic aluminum, the overall macro - environment is still slightly positive. The cost of alumina is weak, and demand is in the traditional peak season. However, the inventory is accumulating, so the price is expected to be volatile, with the main contract trading between 20,600 - 21,000 yuan/ton [3]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: The cost is strongly supported, and the supply is constrained. The demand is moderately recovering, and the pre - holiday stocking demand supports the spot price. It is expected that the short - term spot price will remain firm, the inventory accumulation rate will slow down, and the price difference between aluminum alloy and aluminum is expected to further converge. The main contract is expected to trade between 20,200 - 20,600 yuan/ton [4]. - **Zinc**: The supply is expected to be loose, and the demand shows a differentiation between domestic and foreign markets. The zinc price is under pressure. In the short term, it may be driven by the macro - environment to rise, but the fundamentals have limited support for continuous upward movement. It is expected to be volatile, with the main contract trading between 21,500 - 22,500 yuan/ton [7]. - **Tin**: The macro - environment has a mixed impact. The supply of tin ore is tight, and the demand is weak in traditional sectors but has some growth in emerging sectors. The fundamentals continue to improve, and the tin price is expected to remain in a high - level volatile range of 265,000 - 285,000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the import situation of tin ore from Myanmar [9]. - **Nickel**: After the Fed's rate - cut expectation is realized, the macro - sentiment is digested. The industry has limited changes, and the inventory is rising overseas and slightly increasing domestically. The price is expected to be in an interval - volatile range of 120,000 - 125,000 yuan/ton [11]. - **Stainless Steel**: The macro - environment is weak overseas and positive domestically. The raw material price is firm, but the demand in the peak season fails to meet expectations. The price is expected to be in a volatile adjustment, with the main contract trading between 12,800 - 13,200 yuan/ton [13]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The macro - sentiment is gradually digested. The supply path is clear, and the demand in the peak season provides support for the price. The short - term price is expected to be in a volatile consolidation, with the main price center between 70,000 - 75,000 yuan/ton [15]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Shanghai copper market may be supported by a slight reduction in supply and a gradual warming of demand. The Fed's September interest - rate meeting announced a 25 - basis - point rate cut, and the dot - plot implies further rate cuts. Domestically, policies to expand service consumption were introduced. The supply of copper concentrate is tight, and the profit of smelters may be affected, leading to a possible reduction in refined copper supply. The decline in copper prices has boosted downstream purchasing enthusiasm, and the pre - holiday inventory - building demand has increased domestic demand. It is recommended to conduct short - term long trades at low prices with light positions [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Week - to - Week Summary - **Market Performance**: The Shanghai copper main contract fluctuated and declined weekly, with a weekly change of - 1.42% and an amplitude of 2.5%.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant information provided. Core Views Copper - After the FOMC meeting, the bullish factors were exhausted, and the Shanghai copper futures price oscillated. The macro - environment showed that the Fed cut interest rates by 25bp as expected. The previous loose trading for copper may have ended, and attention should be paid to whether the macro - market style switches to recovery trading. The fundamentals were in a state of "weak reality + stable expectation". In the long - term, the supply - demand contradiction provided bottom support, and in the short - term, copper prices oscillated strongly under the loose background. The subsequent upward cycle needed the resonance of the commodity and financial attributes of copper. The reference range for the main contract was 79000 - 81000 [1]. Aluminum - The alumina futures price oscillated at the bottom. The market was in a pattern of "high supply, high inventory, and weak demand". Supply - side factors such as the potential restart of a mining company in Guinea and a possible strike, as well as production cuts in Henan due to environmental protection, provided short - term support, but the overall supply was in excess. The demand was weak, and the inventory pressure increased. The short - term main contract was expected to oscillate between 2900 - 3200 yuan/ton. For aluminum, the macro - atmosphere was bullish, and the fundamentals improved moderately. The short - term price was expected to maintain a narrow - range oscillation, with the main contract reference range of 20600 - 21000 yuan/ton. If the demand improvement was less than expected, the price might fall back [3]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy futures price oscillated and declined with the aluminum price. The supply of scrap aluminum was tight, and the procurement cost of recycled aluminum enterprises was high, which supported the price. The demand showed a mild recovery, and the inventory was still accumulating. The short - term main contract was expected to run in the range of 20200 - 20600 yuan/ton [5]. Zinc - In the context of improved interest - rate cut expectations, non - ferrous metals prices were generally strong, but Shanghai zinc was relatively weak due to the expectation of loose supply. The supply side saw overseas mines entering the production and resumption cycle, and the smelting profit was repaired. The demand entered the peak season, but the domestic and overseas performance was differentiated. The short - term price might be driven up by the macro - environment, but the upward space was limited. The reference range for the main contract was 21500 - 22500 [7]. Tin - The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp in September as expected. The supply of tin ore remained tight, and the demand was weak. Although AI computing power and photovoltaic industry growth drove some tin consumption, it was difficult to make up for the decline in traditional demand. If the supply in Myanmar recovered smoothly, a short - selling strategy could be considered; otherwise, the price was expected to oscillate at a high level, with the running range of 265000 - 285000 [9]. Nickel - The Shanghai nickel futures price was weak, and the spot price was stable. The Fed's interest - rate cut did not bring more than expected benefits, and the macro - environment was weak. The spot trading of refined nickel did not change significantly. The supply of nickel ore in Indonesia was relatively loose, and the price of nickel - iron was strong. The short - term price was expected to oscillate in the range of 120000 - 125000 [11]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel futures price oscillated narrowly and weakened in the afternoon. The spot price decreased slightly, and the market trading was average. The macro - environment overseas was weak after the Fed's interest - rate cut, while domestic policies were positive. The raw material prices were firm, and the supply of nickel - iron increased, but the demand for stainless steel had not significantly increased. The short - term price was expected to oscillate in the range of 12800 - 13400 [13]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate futures price fluctuated sharply. The Fed's interest - rate cut did not bring more than expected benefits, and the domestic policies had been digested by the market. The fundamentals were in a tight - balance state. The supply increased due to new projects and increased lithium - spodumene processing, and the demand was expected to increase in the peak season. The short - term price was expected to oscillate, with the main - contract price center of 70000 - 75000 yuan/ton [15].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The main contract of Shanghai copper fluctuated and declined, with a decrease in open interest, a premium in the spot market, and a strengthening basis. The copper price is supported by the cost of the concentrate due to the negative TC index of copper ore and the firm offer of concentrate. Supply is constrained by the tight supply of scrap copper and copper concentrate, and macro - factors such as the Fed's interest rate cut keep the copper price in a high - level range. However, the strong copper price suppresses downstream purchasing sentiment, resulting in a light trading volume in the spot market. The peak season has not yet boosted demand, and consumption recovery is slow. In the options market, the call - put ratio of at - the - money options is 1.38, with a month - on - month increase of 0.0514, indicating a bullish sentiment and a slight increase in implied volatility. Technically, the 60 - minute MACD shows both lines below the 0 - axis with an expanding green bar. The operation suggestion is to go long on dips with a light position, while paying attention to controlling the rhythm and trading risks [2]. 3.
