1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Copper: The US plans to promote the commercial reserve of critical mineral resources, and China is expected to strengthen copper reserves. The US economic data is relatively volatile, with strong manufacturing sentiment providing support. The copper price is expected to fluctuate, with the Shanghai copper main contract reference range of 101,000 - 103,000 yuan/ton and the LME copper 3M reference range of 13,000 - 13,300 US dollars/ton [5]. - Aluminum: Domestic aluminum ingot and aluminum rod inventories continue to accumulate, with weak demand in the off - season; LME aluminum inventories remain relatively low, and the US aluminum spot premium remains high, providing strong support for the aluminum price. Before the holiday, the aluminum price is expected to be range - bound, with the Shanghai aluminum main contract reference range of 23,300 - 23,800 yuan/ton and the LME aluminum 3M reference range of 3,080 - 3,130 US dollars/ton [8]. - Lead: The visible lead ore inventory has declined slightly but is still higher than the same period in previous years, and the lead concentrate processing fee remains low. The scrap battery inventory continues to rise. Near the Spring Festival, the smelter's operating rate declines seasonally. Whether the lead price can stabilize depends on the restocking willingness of downstream battery enterprises after the Spring Festival [10]. - Zinc: The visible zinc ore inventory accumulation has slowed down, and the zinc concentrate TC has stopped falling and stabilized. Domestic zinc ingot social inventories have started to accumulate, and the downstream industry is performing weakly. However, short - term funds are greatly affected by macro - sentiment. Strong US PMI may drive the zinc price to rise [12]. - Tin: Short - term precious metal prices show signs of stabilizing after a second decline, and tin prices may rebound. In the short term, due to the marginal relaxation of tin ingot supply and demand and the recent steady increase in inventories, there is pressure on a significant increase. The tin price is expected to fluctuate widely, and it is recommended to wait and see [14]. - Nickel: Precious metal and risk asset prices have stabilized after a second decline, with a short - term rebound demand. However, nickel still faces fundamental pressure, and the short - term nickel price is expected to fluctuate widely. The approved nickel ore production quota is close to market expectations and is expected to have limited impact on the nickel price [16]. - Lithium Carbonate: Before the holiday, funds are in a wait - and - see mood. The future lithium demand is expected to be strong. If the resumption of production of large mines in Jiangxi fails, the supply - demand pattern of lithium carbonate after the Spring Festival will still be tight. Currently, there is a lack of new drivers, and the lithium price is likely to fluctuate within a range [19]. - Alumina: There is a strike in the bauxite mine in Guinea, and the subsequent impact needs to be observed. The over - capacity pattern of the alumina smelting end is difficult to change in the short term, and the inventory accumulation trend continues. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [22]. - Stainless Steel: From the supply side, the raw material supply has recovered, but the agents' shipment rhythm has slowed down under the steel mill's price - limit policy. From the demand side, affected by the pre - Spring Festival off - season, the market's purchasing willingness is not strong. The market generally believes that the subsequent supply will gradually tighten, and it is recommended to maintain the strategy of buying low, with the main contract reference range of 13,500 - 13,900 yuan/ton [24]. - Cast Aluminum Alloy: The cost of cast aluminum alloy has risen. Despite general demand, the short - term price is still supported under the background of continuous supply - side disturbances and seasonal tightness of raw material supply [27]. 3.

Group 1: Investment Rating - There is no mention of the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The report maintains a bullish outlook on copper prices in the medium - term, as copper fundamentals feature limited supply and increasing demand. In the short - to - medium - term, the stabilization of copper prices depends on the stabilization of precious metals, with support levels at 97,000 and 99,000 for Shanghai copper [1]. - For aluminum, after the price increase, there is an unexpected increase in supply and weak terminal demand. One should wait for the supply - demand negative factors to materialize before going long. If the Iran situation deteriorates, aluminum prices may rise [1]. - Zinc's domestic fundamentals are average, but due to limited long - term capital expenditure and about 100,000 - ton supply disruptions from Iran, the market is optimistic about its allocation flexibility. Attention should be paid to reverse arbitrage opportunities [2]. - Nickel's short - term real - world fundamentals are weak, with a slight decline in pure nickel production, weak overall demand, and domestic continuous warehousing while LME inventory remains stable. The short - term sentiment of the non - ferrous metals sector is dominant [5]. - Stainless steel's fundamentals are weak, with a slight decline in steel mill production, downstream entering the off - season, and seasonal inventory accumulation. The news of Indonesia's quota continues to cause disruptions, and the short - term sentiment of the non - ferrous metals sector is dominant [9]. - For lead, the supply - demand contradiction is alleviated, and there is an expectation of looser supply. It is recommended to try short positions at high prices in the short term, as the price is expected to fluctuate within a range [12][13]. - Tin prices are affected by precious metals and the overall non - ferrous metals market, showing a downward trend.

Lead - On the supply side, primary lead production was driven by profit, and production decreased seasonally. Secondary lead production was affected by environmental protection and losses. On the demand side, battery production decreased, and demand continued to weaken. The supply - demand contradiction was alleviated, and there was an expectation of looser supply. There was significant inventory accumulation in the fourth week [12][13]. Tin - Tin prices fluctuated downward. On the supply side, there are differences in the expectation of Wa State's resumption in the first quarter, and Indonesia's quota for 2026 is 60,000 tons. On the demand side, there are differences in the downstream restocking willingness, and overseas consumption is flat. Domestic inventory increased slightly, and overseas LME inventory increased [14][15]. Industrial Silicon - Southwest production enterprises are mostly shut down, and a large factory in Xinjiang reduced production. The monthly supply is shrinking, and in February, both supply and demand are expected to decrease, maintaining a de - stocking trend. In the short term, supply and demand are close to balance, and the price is expected to fluctuate with costs [19]. Lithium Carbonate - The price and positions of lithium carbonate continued to decline. On the raw material side, lithium ore prices followed the decline, and mine sales were limited. On the lithium salt side, most upstream producers are reluctant to sell, and downstream positive electrode enterprises maintain low - level procurement. In the short term, supply and demand are strong, and it maintains a de - stocking trend in the off - season [21].
