Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macroeconomics - Overseas: Trump postponed the strike on Iranian energy facilities to April 6, and the US is still preparing more aggressive military options. The price of Brent crude oil has risen to $100, investors' concerns about rising oil prices and persistent inflation have intensified, the 10Y US Treasury bond yield has returned to 4.4%, the US dollar index has risen to 99.9, and risk assets have fallen under pressure [2]. - Domestic: The A - share market declined with reduced trading volume on Thursday. The bond market continued to be warm, but long - term interest rates were constrained. Pay attention to whether the Middle - East situation will actually escalate and subsequent turning points, as well as China's industrial enterprise profits from January to February [3]. Precious Metals - International precious metal futures prices fell again on Thursday. The decline was mainly affected by the deadlock in the US - Iran cease - fire negotiations, the strengthening of the US dollar index, and the large - scale reduction of gold reserves by the Turkish central bank. The US - Iran negotiation is likely to enter a long - term stalemate, and precious metals will continue to adjust [4][5]. Copper - On Thursday, the main contract of Shanghai copper weakened in an oscillating manner. The US - Iran conflict is still uncertain, and the Fed governor's hawkish stance has put pressure on risk assets.

Copper prices are expected to oscillate in the short - term [6][7]. Aluminum - On Thursday, the main contract of Shanghai aluminum closed at 23,725 yuan/ton, down 0.52%.

Alumina - On Thursday, the main contract of alumina futures closed at 2,931 yuan/ton, down 1.15%. Recently, the profit from delivery is high, and the spot is constantly being sent to the delivery warehouse.

Tin - On Thursday, the main contract of Shanghai tin oscillated weakly during the day and horizontally at night. The US - Iran situation is still tense, the fundamentals are stable, the supply of tin mines is slowly recovering, and the demand recovery is limited. Tin prices are expected to hover around 350,000 yuan in the short - term [14]. Nickel - On Thursday, the main contract of Shanghai nickel oscillated and declined. The Fed governor's hawkish stance has put pressure on risk assets. The Indonesian government plans to modify the nickel ore HPM benchmark pricing, and the cost side has strong support. Nickel prices are expected to oscillate strongly in the short - term with limited adjustment space [15][16]. Lithium Carbonate - On Thursday, the main contract of lithium carbonate closed at 157,200 yuan/ton, down 0.64%. The uncertainty of the US - Iran war situation is strong, and the lithium carbonate market lacks a clear direction. The export ban on lithium concentrate in Zimbabwe is difficult to relax in the short - term, which may cause a phased supply - demand mismatch. The lithium carbonate market is expected to oscillate at a high level [17]. Steel (Screw and Coil) - On Thursday, steel futures oscillated. The supply of five major steel products decreased slightly week - on - week, the total inventory decreased, and the apparent demand continued to rise.

Soybean meal is expected to oscillate and decline in the short - term [22][23]. Palm Oil - On Thursday, the palm oil 05 contract rose 0.59%. The US - Iran conflict continues, which supports the oil price and the demand for palm oil in the bio - fuel industry. The production of Malaysian palm oil in the off - season has decreased month - on - month, which is conducive to inventory reduction. Palm oil is expected to oscillate and adjust in the short - term [24][25].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Aluminum: Cautiously bullish; Alumina: Cautiously bullish; Aluminum alloy: Cautiously bullish. Arbitrage: Neutral [8] 2. Core Viewpoints - For electrolytic aluminum, Bahrain Aluminium may shut down its 250,000 - ton No. 4 production line if raw material problems persist. Overseas supply is still subject to disruptions, and although there is a possibility of rerouting exports, transportation is still difficult and overseas inventories are declining. Concerns about the US entering an interest - rate hike cycle are premature. Long - term fundamentals are still optimistic, and downstream processors can buy on dips for hedging [6]. - For alumina, the spot market is strong both at home and abroad. Guinea will clarify bauxite export restrictions in early April, and although it's not clear if it will cause a supply shortage, the policy - oriented price limit is clear, and cost support has significantly increased. The alumina supply - demand remains in surplus, but the spot market doesn't show the surplus. In the short term, alumina prices fluctuate with crude oil prices, and in the long term, the price center will rise due to raw material disturbances [6][7]. 3.
