Group 1: Industrial Metals - The copper market is experiencing upward price movement due to large copper mine production cuts, with the current phase being a Federal Reserve rate cut cycle. The supply disruptions in industrial metals are expected to lead to stable price increases, enhancing profits for listed companies in the industry. However, a rapid increase in copper prices may suppress downstream demand, leading to inventory accumulation during peak seasons, which is a signal of potential price peaks. Continuous monitoring of inventory changes is necessary [1][14][30] - The aluminum market is approaching a production peak in China, while foreign construction progress is slow. The next two years are expected to see peak production for China's electrolytic aluminum. The domestic aluminum supply-demand balance is fragile, and any increase in demand or supply disruptions could lead to shortages [1][32][38] Group 2: Precious Metals - Gold prices have reached new highs, driven by signals from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole global central bank conference, indicating rising employment risks and slowing GDP growth. The Fed's recent rate cut aligns with market expectations, and further cuts are anticipated. Global central banks are continuously increasing their gold reserves, suggesting a potential upward trend in gold prices through 2025 [3][11] Group 3: Energy Metals - The implementation of a quota system in the Democratic Republic of Congo is expected to create a significant shortage in the global cobalt market over the next two years, leading to a long-term price increase. The lithium market is currently in a state of relative balance, with supply disruptions not fully resolved but demand expectations rising [4][5][12] Group 4: Minor Metals - The strategic importance of minor metals is increasing, with export controls on rare earths tightening. The price of rare earth minerals has seen significant increases, with prices for certain products rising by 37% quarter-on-quarter. Tungsten prices are also expected to rise due to increased demand and supply constraints [6][13][15] Group 5: Tin - Global visible tin inventories have significantly decreased, with a peak of 22,763 tons in May 2024, followed by a reduction to below 9,000 tons by the end of 2022. This trend indicates a tightening supply situation in the tin market [2][41][52]
