Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View The current copper price is influenced by both bullish and bearish factors. Bullish factors include the long - term demand growth expectation in the new energy sector and short - term rigid demand support reflected by the spot premium. Bearish factors are the continuous accumulation of global inventories and the slower - than - expected pace of overseas macro - liquidity easing. It is expected that the copper price will maintain a range - bound oscillation in the short term. If there are signs of inventory depletion or better - than - expected downstream consumption, the copper price may break through upwards; otherwise, if the inventory continues to accumulate, the price may fall to the support level [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures Market On March 11, 2026, the SHFE copper main contract (CU.SHF) showed a narrow - range fluctuation. The daily change was 0%, with an opening price of 101,430 yuan/ton, a maximum price of 101,930 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 101,000 yuan/ton, and a closing price of 101,150 yuan/ton [2]. 3.2 Spot Market Basis Analysis On March 11, 2026, the domestic spot copper price was slightly higher than the futures main contract price, showing a spot premium. In Guangdong, the含税 price range of 1 copper was 101,200 - 101,390 yuan/ton, with an average price of 101,295 yuan/ton, a premium of 145 yuan/ton compared to the futures closing price. In Shanghai, the spot price of 1 copper was 101,370 yuan/ton, a premium of 220 yuan/ton compared to the futures closing price. The spot premium indicates that the current rigid demand from downstream procurement supports the spot price, and the overall supply of goods in the spot market is tight [3]. 3.3 Market Dynamics - **Supply Side**: On March 11, 2026, Yunnan Copper announced the completion of issuing shares to acquire a 40% stake in Liangshan Mining and raising supporting funds. After the transaction, Liangshan Mining became a holding subsidiary of Yunnan Copper. The 1.5 billion yuan of raised funds will be used for the construction of the Hongnipo Copper Mine mining and beneficiation project. In the long run, it will improve the domestic copper self - sufficiency rate and increase the expected copper supply in the future, but it has limited short - term impact on the market [4]. - **Demand Side**: The 4 - gigawatt photovoltaic project in the coal - mining subsidence area of Lingwu, Ningxia was officially put into operation, indicating the continuous progress of China's new energy project construction. As an important raw material in the new energy industry chain (photovoltaic, wind power, energy storage, etc.), the continuous growth of new energy installed capacity will provide long - term support for copper demand [5]. 3.4 Market Outlook The copper price is facing a combination of bullish and bearish factors. Bullish factors are the long - term demand growth in the new energy field and short - term rigid demand. Bearish factors are the continuous accumulation of global inventories and the slower - than - expected pace of overseas macro - liquidity easing. The short - term copper price is expected to oscillate within a range. If there are signs of inventory reduction or better - than - expected downstream consumption, the copper price may rise; otherwise, it may fall [6].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term alumina prices are expected to maintain a high - level oscillating pattern. The supply - stable and rigid - demand pattern remains unchanged. The high premium of futures restricts the upward space, while energy price fluctuations due to geopolitical factors and low inventory support the price, lacking a driving factor for a unilateral trend [6] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Market - On March 11, 2026, the SHFE alumina futures main contract (AO.SHF) closed at 2869 yuan/ton, up 22 yuan or 0.77% from the previous trading day. The intraday opening price was 2839 yuan/ton, the highest price was 2879 yuan/ton, the lowest price was 2823 yuan/ton, and the intraday fluctuation range was 1.98%, showing an oscillating upward trend with a bottom - touching rebound and a slowdown in the afternoon [2] 3.2 Spot Market Analysis - On March 11, 2026, the average spot price index of alumina in China was 2687 yuan/ton, up 3 yuan/ton or 0.11% from the previous day. In the past week, the spot price has gradually increased from 2673 yuan/ton on March 5, with a cumulative increase of 14 yuan/ton or 0.52%. The price trend is relatively more stable than that of futures. Regionally, on March 11, the alumina prices in South China were 2700 - 2750 yuan/ton, in East China were 2660 - 2700 yuan/ton, in Southwest China were 2725 - 2765 yuan/ton, and in Northwest China were 2965 - 3005 yuan/ton. The price in Northwest China increased by 20 yuan/ton from the previous day, while the prices in other regions remained stable [3] 3.3 Market Dynamics - **Supply side**: As of March 11, the built - in production capacity of alumina in China was 113.9 million tons, the operating production capacity was 89.5 million tons, and the operating rate was 78.58%, with overall stable supply. In terms of inventory, the domestic alumina inventory at the end of February 2026 was 385,000 tons, a slight increase of 1.32% from 380,000 tons at the end of January, at a low level in recent years [4] - **Demand side**: From January to February 2026, the cumulative output of downstream electrolytic aluminum reached 7,294,420 tons, showing year - on - year growth. The downstream factories' operation has returned to the pre - holiday level, maintaining rigid procurement. The further release space of demand is limited, and the downstream buyers are generally cautious [5] 3.4 Market Outlook - Short - term alumina prices are expected to maintain a high - level oscillating pattern. The supply - stable and rigid - demand pattern remains unchanged. The high premium of futures restricts the upward space, while energy price fluctuations due to geopolitical factors and low inventory support the price, lacking a driving factor for a unilateral trend [6]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, the US February CPI annual rate was 2.4%, and the core CPI annual rate was 2.5%, in line with market expectations. Due to concerns about the escalation of the Middle - East conflict, energy prices rose again, the US dollar index rebounded, and global risk appetite cooled. Domestically, China's economic sentiment in February showed a slight slowdown, but exports exceeded expectations, and inflation continued to recover, with the economy and inflation remaining relatively stable. The government work report's 2026 development targets and policy intensity are lower than in 2025. The market's trading logic currently focuses on Middle - East geopolitical risks. In the short - term, with the decline in global inflation expectations, market sentiment has improved, and the stock index has rebounded. [2] - For assets: The stock index may experience increased short - term volatility, and short - term cautious long positions are recommended. Treasury bonds will be in short - term oscillation, and cautious observation is advised. In the commodity sector, black metals will be in short - term oscillation, and short - term cautious observation is recommended; non - ferrous metals will be in short - term oscillation, and short - term cautious observation is recommended; energy and chemical products will be in short - term oscillation with an upward bias, and cautious long positions are recommended; precious metals will be in short - term oscillation, and cautious long positions are recommended. [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro - finance - **Stock Index**: Driven by sectors such as chemicals, batteries, and coal, the domestic stock market has rebounded in the short - term. Fundamentally, China's economic sentiment in February showed a slight slowdown, but exports exceeded expectations, and inflation continued to recover. The government work report's 2026 development targets and policy intensity are lower than in 2025. The market's trading logic focuses on Middle - East geopolitical risks. In the short - term, with the decline in global inflation expectations, market sentiment has improved, and the stock index has rebounded. Follow - up attention should be paid to changes in the Middle - East geopolitical situation, domestic two - sessions policies, and market sentiment. Short - term cautious long positions are recommended. [3] - **Precious Metals**: On Wednesday night, the precious metals market declined overall. The main contract of Shanghai gold closed at 1151.48 yuan/gram, a 0.37% decline; the main contract of Shanghai silver closed at 21997 yuan/kilogram, a 2.8% decline. Affected by the strengthening of the US dollar and market expectations of rising interest rates, the price of gold oscillated downward. Spot gold fell continuously during the day and reached an intraday low of 5149.01 US dollars during the US trading session, finally closing down 0.32% at 5175.91 US dollars per ounce; spot silver followed gold down, finally closing down 2.98% at 85.69 US dollars per ounce. Precious metals will oscillate in the short - term, and short - term cautious long positions are recommended. [3] 3.2 Black Metals - **Steel**: On Wednesday, the domestic steel spot market declined slightly, and the futures price continued to oscillate, with low trading volume. The steel futures did not follow the decline in crude oil but showed some resilience. Ansteel and Bengang announced price policies for April, with plate prices increased by 200 yuan/ton. The actual fundamentals of steel have not improved significantly, and steel and billet inventories remain at high levels. Although the apparent consumption of the five major steel products rebounded last week, the inventory has exceeded the 2025 high. In terms of supply, the output of the five major steel products increased slightly, and the hot metal output decreased significantly, mainly due to temporary production restrictions during the two - sessions. Future supply will remain at a high level. Recently, cost and macro - logic dominate the steel market, and an interval oscillation approach is recommended. [4][5] - **Iron Ore**: On Wednesday, the spot and futures prices of iron ore rebounded slightly. Iron ore prices did not follow the decline in crude oil prices. Last week, the average daily hot metal output of blast furnaces decreased by 56,000 tons month - on - month, mainly due to production restrictions in the north during the two - sessions. Given that steel mills still have certain profits and strong production enthusiasm, future demand depends on the resumption of production process. In terms of supply, the global iron ore shipping volume decreased by 4.429 million tons month - on - month this week, and the short - term supply of iron ore is still in the off - season. An interval oscillation approach is recommended for iron ore. [5] - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: On Wednesday, the spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese remained flat, and the futures prices continued a slight rebound. The spot price of manganese ore remained stable. The semi - carbonate in Tianjin Port was quoted at 40 yuan/ton - degree and above, the South African high - iron index was quoted at 33 - 35 yuan/ton - degree, Gabon was quoted at 45 yuan/ton - degree, South32 Australian lump was quoted at 44 yuan/ton - degree, and cml Australian lump was quoted at 45 - 46 yuan/ton - degree. In terms of supply, the capacity utilization rate of 187 independent silicon manganese enterprises in the country was 35.7%, an increase of 0.08% from last week; the daily output was 27,980 tons/day, a decrease of 225 tons. Currently, the start - up situation in the north is relatively stable, and factories are gradually hedging, with a good profit margin. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron in the main production areas is 5550 - 5700 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron is 6100 yuan/ton. Downstream steel mills have started to implement procurement tender plans after the Spring Festival, and the resumption of the trader market is also progressing steadily. On March 5, a steel mill in Jiangsu tendered for silicon iron at 5930 yuan/ton, with a quantity of 1000 tons, delivered to the factory with acceptance. Other steel mills are waiting for HBIS's tender. An interval oscillation approach is recommended for the futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese, and attention should be paid to the risk of a sharp fall after a rise. [6] 3.3 Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: On Wednesday, domestic and foreign inventories continued to accumulate. The LME copper inventory reached 312,000 tons, and the visible inventory of the three major exchanges exceeded 1.2 million tons, hitting a record high. Recently, LME copper and Shanghai copper have oscillated at high levels without a clear direction, and the future trend is uncertain. Technically, the current situation is similar to the months - long oscillation of gold last year. Fundamentally, although it is weak, it is not the main factor of concern for funds, and the macro - situation is the main influencing factor. Future attention should be paid to changes in the US interest - rate cut expectations. Fundamentally, due to the high price of sulfuric acid and the relatively high prices of gold and silver, the overall income of smelters is still guaranteed, so the refined copper output is at the highest level in the same period in history, with a year - on - year increase close to double - digits. The refined copper output in March is expected to reach 1.2 million tons, a record high. [7] - **Aluminum**: Currently, the news is fluctuating, and the market is volatile. Technically, the form has not deteriorated. With the short - term continuation of the Middle - East situation, the aluminum price will still be supported. In the short - term, attention should be paid to the support at 24,500 yuan. For the medium - term trend, it is relatively cautious, mainly due to the restart of European aluminum smelters and the high domestic aluminum output. [7] - **Zinc**: In 2026, the supply of zinc concentrate will be further released, with an expected increase of about 300,000 - 400,000 tons. The domestic smelting capacity is still expanding, and the by - product income makes up for the losses, so the domestic smelting output remains at a relatively high level. Overseas smelters reduced production in 2025 but will resume production in 2026, with output increasing. The demand side is not optimistic. Real estate, infrastructure, transportation, and emerging fields such as photovoltaics are difficult to significantly boost the demand for zinc, and it may even decline. The domestic zinc ingot inventory has increased seasonally and is currently at a high level; the LME zinc inventory remains at around 100,000 tons, and the overall inventory pressure is not large but has increased significantly compared with the previous period. [8] - **Lead**: In the short - to - medium term, the lead output is at a high level. The demand side is affected by the over - consumption of the trade - in policy, and the peak season has passed, gradually entering the off - season. Since 2026, the social inventory of primary lead has continued to increase, with the fastest inventory accumulation rate in recent years. The inventory reached 73,700 tons, decreased briefly, and then increased again. In terms of absolute inventory level, it still exceeds the same period in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Since 2025, the LME lead inventory has remained at a high level. [8][9] - **Nickel**: The intensification of the Middle - East conflict has tightened the sulfur supply, and the cost side supports the price of MHP. Indonesia's RKAB quota in 2026 has dropped significantly to 260 million wet tons, and there is still room for improvement in the future, but the increase is expected to be limited, and a year - on - year decline compared with 2025 is basically a foregone conclusion. Since the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources allows mining enterprises to use one - quarter of the "old quota" in the first quarter, mining enterprises will maintain normal production in the first quarter without a supply gap. The nickel price has strong support at the bottom, but the upward momentum and space are restricted by its own poor fundamentals. As of March 9, the LME nickel inventory reached 287,418 tons, much higher than the same period in recent years. Since September 2025, the inventory has accumulated rapidly, when it was only 210,000 tons. The domestic inventory is similar. Since September 2025, especially since late September, the inventory accumulation has accelerated, reaching the highest level in recent years. [9] - **Tin**: On Wednesday, the LME inventory increased by 590 tons to 8605 tons, the highest level in two years. On the supply side, the smelting start - up rate in Yunnan and Jiangxi has increased seasonally, with an increase of 6.61% to 57.99%. With the progress of the pumping process in the tin mines in Wa State, Myanmar, full resumption of production will be achieved, and the tin ore output and exports to China will further increase. On the demand side, the industry is highly differentiated. The production and demand of integrated circuits are still growing rapidly, but the traditional consumer electronics industry is in the off - season. China's photovoltaic installation scale in 2026 will decline compared with 2025, the sales of new energy vehicles have slowed down significantly, and the household appliance production plan in March has continued the decline in February, confirming the over - consumption effect of the previous trade - in policy. As the price has dropped significantly, market transactions have improved, and downstream enterprises have made concentrated purchases at low prices. The social inventory of tin ingots has decreased by 206 tons to 13,250 tons. In summary, the actual fundamentals have not changed much, and the price decline is due to the ebb of sentiment. In the future, it will still be a game between long - term narratives and weak real - world fundamentals, and the price will continue to be weak in the short - term. [10] - **Lithium Carbonate**: On Wednesday, the main contract of lithium carbonate 2605 fell 5.14%, with the latest settlement price of 159,840 yuan/ton. The weighted contract reduced its position by 3290 lots, and the total position was 625,900 lots. SMM quoted the battery - grade lithium carbonate at 159,000 yuan/ton (a 500 - yuan increase month - on - month), and the basis between futures and spot was - 980 yuan/ton. For lithium ore, the latest CIF price of Australian spodumene was 2240 US dollars/ton (unchanged month - on - month). The production profit of purchasing lithium mica was 21 yuan/ton, and the production profit of purchasing spodumene was - 855 yuan/ton. The social inventory of lithium carbonate is continuously decreasing, and the strong reality persists. It is expected that lithium carbonate will oscillate at a high level. Do not chase the rise, and patiently wait for opportunities to enter long positions after the price drops. [12] - **Industrial Silicon**: On Wednesday, the main contract of industrial silicon 2605 rose 0.17%, with the latest settlement price of 8610 yuan/ton. The weighted contract's position was 355,000 lots, an increase of 10,946 lots. The price of East China oxygen - containing 553 was 9200 yuan/ton (unchanged month - on - month), and the futures price was at a discount of 580 yuan/ton. In a situation of weak supply and demand, over - capacity, and high - level inventory accumulation, industrial silicon is priced close to the cost. The cost side is driven by coking coal. Attention should be paid to the cost support at the bottom, and interval operations are recommended. [12] - **Polysilicon**: On Wednesday, the main contract of polysilicon 2605 fell 0.47%, with the latest settlement price of 42,735 yuan/ton. The weighted contract's position was 55,000 lots, a reduction of 399 lots. The latest N - type re -投料 price from Steel Union was 49,500 yuan/ton (unchanged month - on - month), the N - type silicon wafer price was 1.05 yuan/piece (unchanged month - on - month), the single - crystal Topcon battery piece (M10) price was 0.415 yuan/watt (unchanged month - on - month), and the Topcon component (distributed): 210mm price was 0.77 yuan/watt (unchanged month - on - month). The number of polysilicon warehouse receipts was 10,690 lots (an increase of 120 lots month - on - month). The polysilicon inventory continues to accumulate at a high level, the number of warehouse receipts is increasing rapidly, and the downstream silicon wafer price is dropping rapidly. It is expected that the price will oscillate weakly, and short - position holders should be cautious. [13][14] 3.4 Energy and Chemicals - **Methanol**: The domestic methanol market has generally declined, and the basis of the port methanol market has remained stable. In mid - March, it was 2640 yuan/ton, with a basis of 05 + 40 yuan/ton; in late March, it was 2640 - 2700 yuan/ton, with a basis of around 05 + 35/+50; in late April, it was 2670 yuan/ton, with a basis of around 05 + 50. The conflict between the US and Iran has eased temporarily, oil prices have fallen, and energy and chemical products have collectively risen and then fallen. The methanol futures price has declined, and the basis is relatively stable, indicating that the spot side still has some support. In the short - term, it is expected to decline, but due to the intertwined long and short factors such as the non - substantial cease - fire of the US - Iran conflict and the non - restart of Iranian methanol plants, the actual progress needs to be monitored. [15] - **PP**: The spot price has been range - bound, strengthening by about 100 - 200 yuan/ton compared with the previous day. The mainstream price of East China drawn wire is 8100 - 8400 yuan/ton. Crude oil has fallen sharply, the geopolitical premium has been reversed, and polypropylene has risen and then fallen. The development of the geopolitical conflict is still uncertain, and short - term volatility has increased. Attention should be paid to geopolitical dynamics. [15] - **LLDPE**: The polyethylene market price has been adjusted, and the LLDPE transaction price is 7750 - 8500 yuan/ton. The price of North China LL has increased by 50 - 200 yuan/ton, the price of East China has increased by 50 - 250 yuan/ton, and the price of South China has decreased by 100 - 500 yuan/ton. The crude oil price has risen and then fallen, the cost of polyethylene has loosened, and the price has fallen significantly under the influence of market sentiment. The short - term volatility is severe. Temporarily observe and wait for the end of the price decline, and pay attention to the progress of the US - Iran conflict. [16] - **Urea**: The domestic urea market has been generally stable. The supply pressure has continued to increase, and the daily output of urea has remained at a high level of over 220,000 tons. The expectation of resuming production and

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The copper price is under pressure due to the strengthening of the US dollar index. The supply of copper is expected to reach a record high in March, and the demand from downstream industries is gradually increasing. However, the inventory is still in the process of accumulation, and the increase rate has slowed down. The market trading has gradually warmed up, and the spot discount has turned into a premium. The production and sales of new energy vehicles have declined year-on-year. Overall, the copper price is expected to remain volatile and weak in the short term due to the uncertainty of the Middle East situation and the impact of inflation [1]. 3.
