1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Reports Industrial Silicon - The price of industrial silicon is expected to remain in a low - level oscillation. In November, the supply and demand of the industrial silicon market will both decline, with a larger decline in supply. However, due to the large supply base and the replenishment of the spot market by cancelled warehouse receipts, there is still expected to be inventory accumulation pressure. The main price fluctuation range is expected to be between 8,500 - 9,500 yuan/ton [1]. Polysilicon - It is expected to maintain a high - level range oscillation. The market is in a situation of both supply and demand decline, with inventory accumulation expected in each link, but strong spot support. The backwardation market structure will remain. For trading strategies, try to go long at around 50,000 for futures; hold or take profit on sell put options for options, and consider buying straddles if volatility decreases [2]. Tin - With strong fundamentals, a bullish view on tin prices is maintained. Hold previous long positions and pay attention to macro - end changes and the recovery of supply in Myanmar [4]. Aluminum - Alumina is expected to maintain a bottom - level oscillation, with the main contract operating in the range of 2,700 - 2,850 yuan/ton. Whether the market can rebound depends on the actual production cut scale of existing enterprises and the inventory inflection point. Electrolytic aluminum is expected to maintain a high - level oscillation, with the Shanghai aluminum main contract operating in the range of 21,100 - 21,700 yuan/ton. Focus on overseas monetary policy trends and domestic inventory destocking rhythm [6]. Zinc - Zinc prices are expected to oscillate. The supply - side pressure has gradually eased, and the demand side has shown a structural improvement. However, the terminal demand has remained stable, and there is limited upward momentum. The main reference range is 22,200 - 22,800 yuan/ton [7]. Copper - In the medium - to - long - term, the supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the bottom center of copper prices. Pay attention to macro - drivers such as overseas interest - rate cut expectations. The main reference range is 85,500 - 87,500 yuan/ton [8]. Nickel - The macro - situation is temporarily stable, and the fundamentals remain weak. However, due to upstream production cuts and low valuations, the market may oscillate and repair. In the medium term, the abundant supply will still restrict the upward space of prices. The main reference range is 116,000 - 120,000 yuan/ton [9]. Aluminum Alloy - The price of ADC12 is expected to maintain an oscillating pattern in the short term, with the main contract operating in the range of 20,300 - 20,900 yuan/ton. Pay attention to the improvement of scrap aluminum supply and the change in downstream procurement rhythm [11]. Stainless Steel - The policy - driven effect is difficult to be directly transmitted in the short term, cost support is weakening, and the fundamental structure has not improved significantly. There is still pressure on the supply - side steel mill production schedule and social inventory, and the demand is weak in the off - season. It is expected to oscillate, with the main operating range of 12,300 - 12,700 yuan/ton [13]. Lithium Carbonate - The market is expected to oscillate and adjust in the short term, with the main reference range of 90,000 - 95,000 yuan.

Investment Highlights - Precious Metals: Maintain a strong hold and await the next major uptrend. Precious metals continue to fluctuate, with volatility decreasing but remaining within a downward range. It is suggested to continue buying gold around $3950 per ounce, as the previous rapid price increase may lead to a 2-3 month consolidation period. The long-term trend of de-dollarization is expected to continue, and investors are advised to hold onto low-positioned assets despite volatility [1][2]. - Copper: Supply disruptions are expected to elevate the price center, with adjustments seen as buying opportunities. Copper prices have shown volatility, with LME copper prices declining. The rapid price increase since October, coupled with profit-taking after successful US-China talks and seasonal inventory accumulation, has led to high-level fluctuations. However, due to expected supply-demand tightness in 2026, adjustments are viewed as buying points [1][2]. - Aluminum: The end of the peak season sees rigid supply supporting price levels. LME aluminum prices fell by 2.29%. Although there are risks of inventory accumulation during the off-season, market sentiment improved after price declines. The aluminum price is expected to maintain high-level fluctuations, with long-term price stability anticipated due to potential supply disruptions from overseas power supply issues [2][3]. - Tin: Significant reduction in Indonesian tin ingot imports highlights medium to long-term investment opportunities. Tin prices have steadily increased, remaining above 290,000 yuan per ton, primarily due to a sharp decline in imports from Indonesia. The crackdown on illegal tin mining and the transfer of smelting plants to state-owned enterprises have significantly reduced exports, leading to a tightening supply situation [3]. - Lithium: Significant price adjustments in lithium suggest buying on dips. The price of lithium carbonate has experienced substantial fluctuations due to overheated trading in the futures market. The current market shows a cautious attitude from downstream enterprises, with only rigid demand driving small-scale purchases. The overall supply-demand situation remains robust, and the lithium price is expected to have limited downward adjustments [3]. Investment Recommendations - Companies to focus on include: Dazhong Mining, Guocheng Mining, Zhongkuang Resources, Shengda Resources, Xingye Silver Tin, Chifeng Gold, Zijin Gold International, Zhaojin Gold, Shenhuo Co., and Zijin Mining [4].
