Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - Grasberg's unexpected copper production cut will change the global copper supply pattern in the next 12 - 15 months. With no significant increase in adjusted copper mine supply this year and no increase next year without the resumption of the Panama mine, the contradiction at the mine end is further intensified. The market sentiment and capital allocation for copper are expected to turn around, and the medium - term allocation value of copper is still favored [1]. - For aluminum, the short - term fundamentals are acceptable. Pay attention to demand, hold at low prices under the low - inventory pattern, and pay attention to far - month inter - month and internal - external reverse arbitrage [1]. - Zinc prices fluctuated this week. The short - term unilateral trend is weakly volatile, and it is recommended to wait and see; for internal - external arbitrage, partial profit - taking can be considered for internal - external positive arbitrage [2]. - The fundamentals of nickel and stainless steel are generally weak. In the short term, the macro - aspect follows the anti - involution expectation, and the policy side has a certain motivation to support prices [3][4]. - Lead prices are expected to maintain a weak and volatile trend next week, in the range of 16,800 - 17,000 [7]. - For tin, the short - term domestic fundamentals maintain a situation of weak supply and demand. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term, short lightly when the price is above 275,000 yuan/ton, and hold near the cost line in the medium - long term [10]. - The short - and medium - term supply and demand of industrial silicon are in a balanced state, and the long - term price is expected to fluctuate at the cycle bottom [11]. - The price of lithium carbonate fluctuates. The price elasticity is high after the supply - side disturbance speculation is realized, and the downward price support is strong before the disturbance occurs [11]. Summary by Metals Copper - Freeport's Indonesian subsidiary's泥石流 accident postponed Grasberg's resumption of production, reducing the 2026 copper guidance by about 35% (equivalent to a reduction of about 270,000 tons of copper and about 1.04 million ounces of gold). The adjusted copper mine supply has no significant increase this year and next year without the resumption of the Panama mine [1]. - Fund long positions are gradually increasing, but macro and bulk CTA funds are still focused on precious metals. The gold - copper ratio is at a low historical quantile. With the structural gap in copper fundamentals emerging, the market sentiment and capital allocation for copper are expected to improve [1]. - Copper currently benefits from the global fiscal and monetary double - loose policy, and there is still room for subsequent interest rate cuts. It is advisable to consider laying out medium - term long positions below 79,000 - 79,500, or selling put options below 78,000 [1]. Aluminum - Supply has increased slightly, with aluminum ingot imports providing an increase from January to August. Downstream开工 has improved, and the production schedule of photovoltaic modules has stabilized. Pay attention to whether overseas demand stabilizes after the decline [1]. - In September, inventory decreased slightly, and it is expected to increase seasonally in October. The short - term fundamentals are acceptable, and attention should be paid to demand [1]. Zinc - This week, zinc prices fluctuated. The domestic TC decreased further, and the imported TC increased further. From the fourth quarter to the first quarter of next year, domestic zinc mines will be marginally tighter, while overseas mine production increased more than expected in the second quarter. In August, China imported 460,000 tons of zinc ore, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 43% [2]. - In October, smelting production recovered slightly month - on - month. When the domestic zinc mine processing fee declines, attention should be paid to the impact of sulfuric acid and silver prices on total profits [2]. - Domestic demand is seasonally weak, with limited growth but certain resilience; overseas, European demand is average, and some smelters face production resistance due to processing fees [2]. - Domestic social inventory fluctuates, and overseas LME inventory decreases. The current pattern of strong overseas and weak domestic may further diverge, and the export window is approaching. Some smelters and traders are preparing for exports [2]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - For nickel and stainless steel, supply is expected to see a slight resumption of production by steel mills. Demand is mainly for rigid needs. Nickel - iron prices remain stable, and chromium - iron prices for stainless steel increase slightly [3][4]. - Nickel inventories in Xifu area increased slightly, and stainless steel inventories in Xifu area decreased. Warehouse receipts for both decreased slightly [3][4]. Lead - This week, lead prices rose due to macro - factors. On the supply side, the scrap volume is weaker year - on - year. The expansion of recycling plants has led to a shortage of waste batteries. With low profits, recycled lead maintains low - level production. From April to August, the operation of concentrate mines increased, but due to smelting profits, supply fell short of demand, and TC quotes declined in a chaotic manner [7]. - On the demand side, the inventory of battery products is high. During the National Day holiday, battery production increased, and demand improved slightly. The refined - scrap price difference is - 75, and the long - term supply of recycled lead in Henan is tight. LME registered warehouse receipts decreased by 2,000 tons [7]. - In August, primary lead supply remained flat, and recycled lead production decreased. In September, both production cuts and resumptions occurred in recycled lead, and primary lead supply is expected to remain flat. Demand has improved slightly, but inventory is at a high level, and the overall inventory reduction needs to be verified [7]. Tin - This week, tin prices fluctuated widely. On the supply side, the processing fee for tin mines is at a low level, and some domestic smelters have cut production. Yunnan Tin had maintenance in early September for about 45 days. Overseas, imports from Wa State were still low in August but gradually recovered from late September to October, and it is expected to maintain above 600 metal tons. Indonesia's tin export is expected to resume in mid - to late September [10]. - On the demand side, the elasticity of solder is limited, mainly supported by rigid demand. When prices declined rapidly this week, downstream replenishment willingness was strong, and combined with National Day holiday replenishment, inventory reduction was significant. Overseas, Indonesia is gradually recovering, and LME inventory has rebounded from a low level [10]. Industrial Silicon - This week, leading enterprises in Xinjiang continued to resume production, with the latest number of operating furnaces reaching 82, an increase of 5 from last week. Currently, the operation in Sichuan and Yunnan is stable, with a monthly output close to 120,000 tons. Some factories in the southwest may gradually cut production in the future [11]. - In September, the supply - demand was in a balanced state, and the core of the balance change is the rhythm and amplitude of Hesheng's resumption of production. In the short term, affected by the resumption rhythm of the southwest and Hesheng, the supply - demand will remain balanced in September and October. In the long term, the over - capacity of industrial silicon is still large, and the price is expected to fluctuate at the cycle bottom based on the seasonal marginal cost [11]. Lithium Carbonate - This week, lithium carbonate prices fluctuated. On the raw material side, overseas mines have a strong willingness to support prices, and traders are reluctant to sell, but salt factories have a low acceptance of high - priced lithium ore [11]. - On the lithium salt side, the pre - holiday replenishment rhythm was strong first and then weak this week and is now approaching the end. The spot basis is stable and weak, with some discounts expanding by 100 - 200 yuan. The transaction of electric - grade lithium carbonate in the market is still mainly at a discount, and inquiries for high - priced goods are relatively scarce [11]. - Lithium carbonate is still in the capacity expansion cycle, and the static supply - demand pattern is still in surplus. With the help of the seasonal peak season and the explosion of energy storage demand, the monthly balance after CATL's gradual production cut has turned to continuous inventory reduction, but the amplitude is average [11].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - With the National Day holiday approaching, it is advisable for long - position holders to reduce positions to control risks. In the short - to - medium term, weak US dollar and supply disruptions support metal prices, while weak terminal demand limits the upside. In the long term, potential domestic stimulus policies and supply disruptions in copper, aluminum, and tin support basic metal prices. The report maintains the view of buying copper, aluminum, and tin on dips but suggests reducing long positions or taking profits due to the approaching holiday [1]. - Copper: The reduction in Indonesian copper mine production has a significant impact, and copper prices are expected to oscillate strongly. Aluminum oxide: The fundamentals remain weak, and the upside of aluminum oxide prices is under pressure. Aluminum: Inventories have decreased, and aluminum prices will oscillate. Aluminum alloy: Cost support remains, and the market will oscillate. Zinc: The decline in ferrous product prices causes zinc prices to oscillate weakly. Lead: Pre - holiday stocking has weakened, and lead prices are under pressure. Nickel: LME nickel inventories continue to increase, and nickel prices will oscillate widely. Stainless steel: The slight decline in ferronickel prices leads to a correction in the stainless - steel market. Tin: Supply disruptions in Indonesia reappear, and tin prices will oscillate [2]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1行情观点 Copper - **Viewpoint**: The reduction in Indonesian copper mine production has a significant impact, and copper prices are expected to oscillate strongly. - **Analysis**: Grasberg mine in Indonesia may see a 35% drop in 2026 production. The Fed cut interest rates by 25bp in September 2025. In August, SMM China's electrolytic copper production decreased by 0.28 tons month - on - month and increased by 15.59% year - on - year. As of September 29, copper inventories increased by 0.82 tons to 14.83 tons. After the release of "770 - document", there was a large - scale shutdown and production reduction in the recycled copper market [7][8]. - **Logic**: The Fed's interest - rate cut supports copper prices. The supply of copper mines is disrupted, and the cost of scrap copper recycling has increased, leading to expected production cuts in electrolytic copper. Terminal demand is in the peak season, and downstream stocking willingness has increased. If inventories continue to decline, copper prices may remain strong [9]. - **Outlook**: Copper supply constraints remain, and with increased supply disruptions and a low - level US dollar index, copper is expected to oscillate strongly [9]. Aluminum Oxide - **Viewpoint**: The fundamentals remain weak, and the upside of aluminum oxide prices is under pressure. - **Analysis**: On September 29, the prices of aluminum oxide in various regions declined. An electrolytic aluminum plant in Xinjiang tendered for 10,000 tons of aluminum oxide, with the winning bid price down 10 - 20 yuan/ton compared to the previous period. Aluminum oxide warehouse receipts increased by 10,548 tons to 159,759 tons [10][11]. - **Logic**: Macro - sentiment affects the market. The operating capacity remains high, and the strong inventory - accumulation trend continues. The fundamentals are weak, but the decline in ore prices in the fourth quarter is limited, which may restrict the downside. Potential production - cut expectations and Guinea - related disruptions will affect prices [11]. - **Outlook**: Aluminum oxide is expected to oscillate in the short term. It is recommended to wait and observe or conduct short - term trading before the holiday [11]. Aluminum - **Viewpoint**: Inventories have decreased, and aluminum prices will oscillate. - **Analysis**: On September 29, the average price of SMM AOO aluminum decreased by 80 yuan/ton. Domestic mainstream consumption - area electrolytic aluminum inventories decreased by 2.5 tons compared to last Thursday and 4.6 tons compared to last Monday. Aluminum rod inventories also decreased. The State Council's eight - department document promotes the stable growth of the non - ferrous industry [11][12]. - **Logic**: The Fed's interest - rate cut makes the US dollar weak. Supply capacity is increasing, and demand is expected to improve as the peak season approaches. Pre - holiday stocking drives inventory reduction, and the spot is at a discount. Aluminum prices are expected to oscillate [12]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, consumption and inventory - reduction sustainability need to be observed. In the medium term, with limited supply growth and resilient demand, the center of aluminum prices is expected to rise [12]. Aluminum Alloy - **Viewpoint**: Cost support remains, and the market will oscillate. - **Analysis**: On September 29, the price of Baotai ADC12 remained unchanged. The average price of SMM AOO aluminum decreased by 80 yuan/ton. The EU may impose a 30% tax on scrap metal exports. In August 2025, the import volume of unwrought aluminum alloy decreased by 16.7% year - on - year [13]. - **Logic**: The supply of scrap aluminum is tight, and cost reduction space is limited. Supply - side production is increasing, and demand is marginally improving. Inventories are accumulating, and prices are expected to oscillate. There are opportunities for cross - variety arbitrage [15]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, there are opportunities for cross - variety arbitrage. In the medium term, supply and demand are weak, but raw - material disruptions are possible, and prices are expected to oscillate within a range [15]. Zinc - **Viewpoint**: The decline in ferrous product prices causes zinc prices to oscillate weakly. - **Analysis**: On September 29, the spot price of zinc in different regions was at a discount to the main contract. As of September 29, SMM's seven - region zinc ingot inventories decreased by 0.90 tons. CZSPT set the import zinc concentrate processing fee for the end of Q4 2025 at 120 - 140 US dollars/dry ton [15][16]. - **Logic**: The macro - environment is slightly negative. Zinc ore supply is loosening, and smelters' profitability is good. Domestic consumption is in the transition period between peak and off - peak seasons, and demand is average. Fundamentals are in surplus, but the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation makes the non - ferrous sector strong, and zinc prices may oscillate at a high level in the short term and decline in the long term [16]. - **Outlook**: Zinc ingot production will remain high in September, and inventories may accumulate. Zinc prices are expected to oscillate [17]. Lead - **Viewpoint**: Pre - holiday stocking has weakened, and lead prices are under pressure. - **Analysis**: On September 29, the price of waste electric vehicle batteries increased by 25 yuan/ton, and the price of SMM 1 lead ingot decreased by 125 yuan/ton. Social inventories of lead ingots decreased by 0.43 tons. After pre - holiday stocking, there may be new low - price stocking intentions, but there is a risk of inventory accumulation after the holiday [17]. - **Logic**: Spot premiums are narrowing, and the price difference between primary and recycled lead is decreasing. The cost of recycled lead smelting is rising, and production is increasing. Demand is in the transition period, and the lead - acid battery industry's operating rate is high. - **Outlook**: After the Fed's interest - rate cut, the US dollar rebounded slightly. Pre - holiday battery factory stocking is almost over, and demand may decline. Supply may increase, and costs are rising slightly. Lead prices are expected to oscillate [21]. Nickel - **Viewpoint**: LME nickel inventories continue to increase, and nickel prices will oscillate widely. - **Analysis**: On September 29, LME nickel inventories increased by 1188 tons to 231,312 tons. High - nickel pig iron prices are under pressure. A battery recycling company in Germany will build a large - scale lithium - battery recycling plant [21][22]. - **Logic**: Market sentiment dominates the market. The industrial fundamentals are weakening marginally. Nickel salt prices are slightly weakening, and inventories are accumulating. Short - term trading is recommended, and the performance of the ore end and macro - sentiment should be observed [23]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, the non - ferrous sector is strong, but LME nickel inventories are increasing significantly. Nickel prices may strengthen in the short term, and a wait - and - see approach is recommended in the long term [23]. Stainless Steel - **Viewpoint**: The slight decline in ferronickel prices leads to a correction in the stainless - steel market. - **Analysis**: As of September 29, stainless - steel futures warehouse receipts decreased by 357 tons. The average price of SMM 10 - 12% high - nickel pig iron decreased by 0.5 yuan/nickel point [25]. - **Logic**: Ferronickel and ferrochrome prices are stable. Stainless - steel production increased in August. Social inventories increased slightly, and warehouse receipts decreased. The structural over - supply pressure has eased. - **Outlook**: There is a risk of increased production cuts by steel mills. The fundamentals suppress prices. Attention should be paid to the peak - season demand and inventory and cost changes. Stainless - steel prices are expected to oscillate within a range in the short term [25]. Tin - **Viewpoint**: Supply disruptions in Indonesia reappear, and tin prices will oscillate. - **Analysis**: On September 29, LME tin warehouse receipts decreased by 105 tons to 2670 tons, and Shanghai tin warehouse receipts decreased by 127 tons to 5950 tons. The average price of Shanghai Non - ferrous Metals Network 1 tin ingot decreased by 2300 yuan/ton [25]. - **Logic**: The supply of tin is the core concern. The resumption of production in Wabang's Manxiang mining area is slow, and African tin production is unstable. Tin concentrate processing fees are low, and the operating rate of refined tin is low. Supply is tight, but terminal demand is weakening in the second half of the year, and inventory reduction is difficult in Q4. - **Outlook**: With tight supply at the mine end, tin prices have bottom support and are expected to oscillate [26]. 3.2行情监测 Not provided in the content 3.3中信期货商品指数 - On September 29, 2025, the comprehensive index of commodities was 2235.10, down 0.13%; the commodity 20 index was 2510.22, down 0.08%; the industrial products index was 2238.46, down 0.50%.

Report Information - Report Title: Alumina & Electrolytic Aluminum Q4 Report - Prices Approach Cost, Limited Decline for Alumina; Consumption May Be Overdrawn, Center of Electrolytic Aluminum Shifts Down [1] - Report Date: September 2025 [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Views Alumina - In Q3, the alumina market was in a supply surplus. After a short - lived price increase due to market sentiment, prices dropped as the market returned to the surplus fundamentals. The supply is expected to remain ample in Q4, but prices are close to the cost line. If prices fall below the cost line, production cuts may occur, potentially leading to a rebound. Short - term strategy is to sell on rallies, while long - term investors can consider buying near the cost line [5]. Electrolytic Aluminum - In Q3, aluminum prices fluctuated between Fed rate - cut expectations and market fundamentals. Domestic production capacity is at a high level, but the growth in supply is limited. Demand is weakening, especially in the real estate sector. Although there is some support from the macro - environment, prices are expected to be volatile in the short - term and gradually decline in the long - term [6]. Summary by Directory 01 Viewpoint and Strategy Alumina - **Market Review**: In Q3, the alumina market was in surplus. After a price spike due to "anti - involution" sentiment, prices fell as the market reverted to surplus fundamentals [5]. - **Supply**: The supply outlook is bearish. Although Guinea's ore shipments decreased in Q3, Australia's increased, and port inventories continued to build up, supporting high alumina plant operating rates [5]. - **Demand**: Demand is expected to be range - bound. High electrolytic aluminum capacity utilization ensures a large demand for alumina, but the growth in demand is limited as electrolytic aluminum capacity nears the "capacity ceiling" [5]. - **Inventory**: Inventory is bearish. Profitable production led to strong output and continuous inventory accumulation. As of September 26, inventory was 4.505 million tons, up 13.82% year - on - year [5]. - **Outlook**: The outlook is slightly bullish. In Q4, as the rainy season in Guinea ends, ore supply will increase, and prices may decline slightly. If prices fall below the cost line, production cuts could narrow the surplus, and prices may rebound. Short - term strategy is to sell on rallies, and long - term investors can buy near the cost line [5]. Electrolytic Aluminum - **Market Review**: In Q3, aluminum prices oscillated between Fed rate - cut expectations and fundamentals, with strong resistance at the 20,800 level. After a short - lived rise in mid - September, prices fell back [6]. - **Supply**: Supply is bearish. Domestic production capacity is at a high level, but future supply growth is limited as capacity approaches the "ceiling" [6]. - **Demand**: Demand is bearish. Domestic demand is weak, especially in the real estate sector, and exports of major aluminum products remain sluggish [6]. - **Inventory**: Inventory is slightly bearish. With a lower proportion of molten aluminum, social inventory has been building up since July - September, reaching 614,000 tons as of September 26, a medium - level in the past six years [6]. - **Outlook**: The outlook is slightly bearish. Supply will continue to pressure prices, but there is a risk of power - rationing - induced production cuts in the southwest in Q4. Consumption, which was strong in the first half, shows signs of being overdrawn, and demand growth is expected to slow. The market expects loose monetary policy from the Fed, providing some macro - support. Prices will be volatile in the short - term and may decline in the long - term [6]. 02 Bauxite Supply Review and Outlook - **Domestic Bauxite**: In August, China's bauxite production was 5.87 million tons, up 4.82% year - on - year, at a medium level in the past four years.

SHFE and LME inventories also increased, weakening inventory support [52][56]. 05 Electrolytic Aluminum Downstream and Terminal Consumption Review and Outlook - **Downstream Industry**: - **Aluminum Profiles**: The real - estate slump continued to drag down the aluminum - profile industry. In July - August, the operating rate decreased to 42.27% in August and is expected to remain weak [62]. - **Aluminum Sheets and Strips**: From July - August, the operating rate first fell and then rebounded to 70.97% in August, lower than the end of last year [62]. - **Exports**: Trade barriers persisted, and aluminum - product exports showed no significant improvement. Aluminum - profile, sheet - strip, and foil exports decreased year - on - year, while aluminum - cable exports increased but accounted for a small proportion [66][71]. - **End - User Markets**: - **Real Estate**: The real - estate market remained weak.
