Group 1: Investment Ratings - No investment ratings for the industry are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The domestic "One Bank, One Commission, One Administration" policy slightly exceeded expectations, and the Sino - US negotiation achieved significant progress, but the current tariff level remains high, which may limit market optimism. The supply of copper ore and recycled copper remains tight, while consumption shows signs of marginal weakening, making it difficult for copper prices to continue rising in the short term [1]. - The domestic aluminum ingot is approaching its production capacity limit, and the continuous decline in short - term inventory strongly supports aluminum prices. However, due to the current seasonally weak consumption, the sustainability of demand improvement may face challenges, restricting the rebound height of aluminum prices [3]. - The port inventory of lead concentrate continues to rise, the waste inventory is limited, and the downstream battery enterprises' holiday has been extended. After the Sino - US economic and trade talks, the short - term commodity sentiment is strong, and the medium - term Shanghai lead index is expected to fluctuate within a range [4]. - The port inventory of zinc concentrate continues to rise, and the zinc ore surplus expectation remains unchanged. The zinc ingot inventory has slightly increased, but the domestic warehouse receipts remain at a low level. The Russian lead - zinc mine's expected shutdown in June may boost zinc prices from an emotional perspective [6]. - The supply of tin is currently tight but is expected to ease. The impact of tariffs on the demand side remains to be observed. If downstream demand remains weak, the tin price center may shift downward [7][8]. - The cost of nickel is expected to ease, and the spot demand is weak. Nickel prices should be treated with a bearish mindset [9]. - The short - term tariff change of lithium carbonate will bring additional orders, and the peak season is expected to continue. The futures price is likely to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the upstream and downstream operating rates and domestic inventory changes [11]. - The supply of alumina is subject to continuous disturbances, and the new production capacity has increased uncertainty. The cost support continues to decline. In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see, and the medium - to - long - term supply surplus trend is difficult to change [13]. - The stainless steel market shows a differentiated trend of narrow cost fluctuations and rising spot prices, with significantly improved steel mill profits. The short - term market is resilient, but the medium - to - long - term trend depends on the game between terminal recovery intensity and the off - season cycle [15].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Report Core View - The short - term view of gold 2508 is bearish, with a mid - term view of consolidation, and a short - term weakening outlook due to the easing of Sino - US relations which reduces the safe - haven demand and puts pressure on gold prices [1][3]. - For nickel 2506, the short - term view is bearish, the mid - term view is consolidation, and the intraday view is weakly consolidating. It is recommended to take a wait - and - see approach as the strong upstream nickel ore and weak downstream stainless steel market affect the price [1][5]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Gold (AU) - **Price Performance**: After the release of the Sino - US Geneva Economic and Trade Talks Joint Statement on May 12, the short - term safe - haven demand decreased, and gold prices were under pressure. The Shanghai gold stabilized and consolidated at the 760 level, corresponding to New York gold at the 3200 level. After the market, overseas gold prices tumbled, with New York gold breaking below the 3200 - dollar mark, and Shanghai gold opened lower at the 750 - yuan level in the night session and weakly consolidated [3]. - **Policy Impact**: The US revoked 91% of the tariffs on Chinese goods on May 14, and modified the 34% reciprocal tariff measures on Chinese goods, with 24% of the tariffs suspended for 90 days and 10% retained. This led to a significant change in the international situation, an obvious increase in market risk appetite, and a sharp decline in safe - haven demand, resulting in the expected short - term weak operation of gold prices [3]. Nickel (NI) - **Price Movement**: Nickel prices continued to rebound. Due to the RRR cut and interest rate cut in China last week and the Sino - US joint statement this week, non - ferrous metals with low inventories such as copper and aluminum trended upward, but nickel's performance was relatively weak among non - ferrous metals, indicating that the industrial fundamentals were suppressing the upward movement of nickel prices [5]. - **Influencing Factors**: The strong upstream nickel ore provides support for the futures price, while the weak downstream demand exerts pressure. The overall trend of nickel prices is greatly affected by industrial fundamentals. With a good macro - environment, nickel prices are expected to consolidate with an upward bias, and the pressure at the April high should be continuously monitored [5].
