1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Copper - Copper prices entered an adjustment phase, with slightly improved supply - demand fundamentals and reduced inventory pressure. The 232 investigation results in June will cause short - term disturbances to copper prices. In the long - term, the long - cycle logic of copper supply - demand contradiction remains unchanged, and the adjustment may provide opportunities for long - term long positions. The main contract is under pressure at 97,000 - 98,000 yuan/ton [1]. Zinc - Zinc is in a cycle of weak supply and demand, and the current contradiction in the zinc industry chain is concentrated between the mining and smelting ends. The smelting cost will support zinc prices. The demand is relatively stable, and there is a possibility of opening up the export space. The zinc price has limited room for further significant decline, and the main contract is supported around 23,000 yuan/ton [5]. Tin - The supply - side tension has been significantly alleviated, and the downstream consumption is gradually recovering. With the improvement of market risk preference, tin prices are expected to be strong in the short - term. It is recommended to buy long positions, and subsequent attention should be paid to the downstream's acceptance of high - priced tin [8]. Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon still faces the pressure of over - supply. The cost side provides support, but the decline of polysilicon price has a negative impact. It is expected to oscillate between 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton. It is recommended to wait and see and pay attention to the opportunity of trying long at low prices [10]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon is in a cycle of over - supply, and the price will continue to be under pressure. The price may fall towards the minimum cash cost, and it is recommended to wait and see. If participating, consider trying long after the price stabilizes and pay attention to position control and stop - loss [12]. Aluminum - The alumina industry is in a state of over - capacity, and the price is expected to fluctuate around the industry cost line. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling idea at high prices. The electrolytic aluminum price has strong anti - decline attributes, and the short - term core operating range is expected to be 24,000 - 26,000 yuan/ton [13]. Nickel - The Indonesian policy, macro - expectations, and raw material contradictions support the price, but the slow inventory digestion restricts it. The nickel price is expected to oscillate within the range of 134,000 - 140,000 yuan/ton [14]. Aluminum Alloy - Casting aluminum alloy may present a pattern of weak supply and demand. The price is expected to operate in the range of 23,000 - 24,500 yuan/ton, following the fluctuation of electrolytic aluminum [16]. Stainless Steel - The cost logic of stainless steel is strong, with support from news and raw material shortages. The steel mill production has increased significantly, and the demand is gradually recovering but the terminal acceptance is still weak. It is expected to maintain a strong oscillation in the short - term, with the main contract in the range of 14,200 - 14,800 yuan/ton [18]. Lithium Carbonate - The supply disturbance expectations are repeated, the short - term marginal driving force of the fundamentals is weakened but still has resilience. The price is expected to oscillate widely in the range, and the main contract is expected to be between 153,000 - 160,000 yuan/ton [21]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Copper - Copper prices entered an adjustment phase. The supply - side copper mine TC is at a record low, and the port inventory is seasonally low. Refined copper production is expected to remain high. Demand has recovered, but downstream procurement sentiment is still weak when prices rebound. Global visible inventories are starting to decline. The 232 investigation results in June will cause short - term disturbances. In the long - term, the long - cycle logic of copper supply - demand contradiction remains unchanged. It is recommended to pay attention to long - term long - order layout opportunities, with the main contract focusing on the 97,000 - 98,000 pressure level [1]. Zinc - Zinc is in a cycle of weak supply and demand, and the overall contradiction is limited. The current contradiction in the zinc industry chain is concentrated between the mine end and the smelting end. The zinc mine TC in the first quarter of 2026 is weak. Although the smelting profit is under pressure, the smelting end has not seen large - scale production cuts due to high by - product profits. The demand side is relatively stable, and the processing industry's operating rate has continued to rise in the first quarter. If overseas prices strengthen, the zinc ingot export space may open again. Considering the low ratio of finished product inventory to raw material inventory in the processing industry, there is room for restocking. The domestic zinc ingot inventory pressure is limited. The zinc price is supported by smelting costs, and the downward space is limited. The main contract should pay attention to the support around 23,000 [5]. Tin - The supply - side tension has been significantly alleviated. The processing fees of smelters in Yunnan and Jiangxi have increased, and the cumulative import volume of tin ore from January to February has increased significantly. The JFX exchange trading volume in February is expected to stabilize Indonesia's export level. The downstream consumption of tin is gradually recovering, with some traditional consumption being slightly weak, and the photovoltaic demand has slightly improved. With the market risk preference restored, the tin price is expected to be strong in the short - term. It is recommended to buy long orders and pay attention to the downstream's acceptance of high - priced tin [8]. Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon still faces the pressure of over - supply. The cost side provides support, but the decline of polysilicon prices has spread panic to the industrial silicon sector. The supply elasticity of industrial silicon is large. Low - price and loss - making situations will suppress the resumption of production in the southwest region. Industrial silicon is expected to fluctuate between 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton. It is necessary to pay attention to the impact of production control, environmental protection, and cost - side fluctuations. It is recommended to wait and see and look for opportunities to try long positions at low prices [10]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon is in a cycle of over - supply, and the price will continue to be under pressure. Many enterprises have production increase expectations, which will open up the downward space for spot prices. The current spot price is approaching the unit cost and moving towards the cash cost. The market sentiment tends to trade for market - clearing. It is recommended to wait and see. If participating, consider trying long positions after the price stabilizes, but pay attention to position control and stop - loss settings [12]. Aluminum - The alumina industry is in a stage of relative over - capacity. The price is expected to fluctuate around the industry cost line in the long - term. The new low - cost capacity in Guangxi will be gradually released in the second quarter, which will put pressure on the spot price. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling strategy at high prices in the short - term. The electrolytic aluminum price is supported by the supply - side due to the Middle - East geopolitical conflict. The LME aluminum inventory is at a historical low, and the domestic market demand has recovered. The domestic market is expected to enter the de - stocking cycle in April. The short - term core operating range of Shanghai aluminum is expected to be 24,000 - 26,000 yuan/ton [13]. Nickel - The nickel market has a complex situation. The Indonesian government plans to levy export taxes on nickel products, and the raw material supply is tight. The high - nickel pig iron price is stable and strong, but the steel mills have a strong price - pressing attitude. The supply of refined nickel still has pressure. The overseas market is gently de - stocking, while the domestic market is still accumulating inventory. The nickel price is expected to fluctuate within the range of 134,000 - 140,000 [14]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy price is driven by the cost of electrolytic aluminum. In the second quarter, the demand for casting aluminum alloy is seasonally weak, and the supply of scrap aluminum is tight. The industry is in a weak - balance state. The short - term price operating range is expected to be 23,000 - 24,500 yuan/ton, and it follows the electrolytic aluminum price. It is necessary to track macro events and domestic tax policy changes [16]. Stainless Steel - The stainless steel market is affected by macro and raw material news. The raw material supply is tight, and the high - nickel pig iron price is stable and strong. The steel mills' production has increased significantly, and the demand is gradually recovering but the terminal acceptance is still weak. The short - term price is expected to maintain a strong - side shock, with the main contract reference range of 14,200 - 14,800 [18]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate futures price fell significantly. The policy news from Zimbabwe has affected the market sentiment. The fundamental data of lithium carbonate remains resilient, with both supply and demand increasing. The upstream salt - factory supply is gradually increasing, and the demand is generally optimistic. The social inventory has started to accumulate. The short - term market may adjust, and the main contract is expected to fluctuate widely in the range of 153,000 - 160,000 [21]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The nickel and stainless - steel markets are experiencing high - level fluctuations supported by costs. The nickel market is in a state of game between policy and fundamentals, and the stainless - steel price mainly follows the nickel price, affected by Indonesian policies and the macro - environment. In the short term, both the nickel and stainless - steel markets are expected to maintain a volatile range [1][3][4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Variety Market Analysis - On March 30, 2026, the main contract of Shanghai nickel opened at 136,080 yuan/ton and closed at 137,120 yuan/ton, a 0.47% change from the previous trading day's closing. The trading volume was 336,342 (+20,315) lots, and the open interest was 176,244 (-6,248) lots [1]. - The nickel market is in a state of game between policy and fundamentals. Policy - wise, the Indonesian export tax and nickel ore quota are still uncertain, but currently support the price. Fundamentally, on the supply side, the nickel ore shortage continues, with strong price increase sentiment. Nickel iron and refined nickel supplies are sufficient, but due to the high price of nickel ore, cost support is stable. MHP production is hindered, and the price remains strong due to the tight sulfur supply. On the demand side, the profit of stainless - steel mills has improved, providing stable demand support. In the new energy sector, the production and sales of new energy vehicles meet expectations, but it's the off - season, with limited month - on - month improvement. Ternary batteries contribute a small demand increase, but downstream enterprises' purchasing willingness is weak, mainly for rigid demand [1]. Nickel Ore and Spot - According to Mysteel, the premium of Indonesian nickel ore still has room to rise, and the RKAB quota approval progress is slow. Most mines are shut down due to unapproved quotas, and the energy and mineral department's current focus is on ensuring coal supply. For pyrometallurgical ore, the premium of mainstream factories is likely to remain stable next month, and some factories may increase it by 1 - 2 dollars/wet ton. The domestic trade ore price still has upward momentum. The price of Philippine nickel ore has weakened, with the 1.3% grade quoted at 48 - 50 dollars/wet ton, a 2 - dollar reduction from the previous period, and the 1.4% grade CIF receiving price at 71 dollars. With the freight still having room to fall, the cost - side pressure has eased [2]. - On the day, the nickel price was strong. Traders switched quotes to the SHFE nickel 2605 contract. Affected by the monthly spread compensation, the spot premiums of various brands of refined nickel generally declined, especially for Jinchuan electrolytic nickel. In the afternoon, the purchase cost dropped, and the transaction fell to within a 3,500 - yuan/ton premium. Among them, the premium of Jinchuan nickel changed by - 150 yuan/ton to 4,750 yuan/ton, the premium of imported nickel changed by - 150 yuan/ton to - 350 yuan/ton, and the premium of nickel beans was 2,450 yuan/ton. The previous trading day's SHFE nickel warrant volume was 57,173 (+104) tons, and the LME nickel inventory was 281,574 (0) tons [2]. Strategy - Recently, Shanghai nickel has shown strong resilience, maintaining a wide - range volatile pattern in a macro - bearish environment, mainly due to the long - term support from the supply constraints of Indonesian mines. Currently, there are obvious differences between bulls and bears. On one hand, there are concerns about the macro - economic slowdown and weak demand; on the other hand, there is optimism about the price support from the tightened supply. With frequent Indonesian policies having both long and short impacts, it is expected to maintain a range - bound state in the short term. The strategy for a single - side position is mainly range - bound operation, and there are no strategies for cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, or options [3]. Stainless - steel Variety Market Analysis - On March 30, 2026, the main contract of stainless steel opened at 14,380 yuan/ton and closed at 14,370 yuan/ton. The trading volume was 120,079 (-10,725) lots, and the open interest was 106,313 (-4,171) lots [3]. - The stainless - steel price mainly follows the nickel price and is greatly affected by Indonesian policies and the macro - environment. Fundamentally, on the supply side, steel mills maintain a high production plan. The total planned production of domestic stainless - steel crude steel in March is expected to reach 3.5364 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 36.5% and a year - on - year increase of 1.8%. After the Spring Festival, the resumption of work and production has accelerated, and the supply pressure is gradually emerging. On the demand side, the market consumption in March is in a slow recovery process, but the recovery speed is slower than in previous years. In April, consumption is expected to continue to rise, orders will ease, and inventory is unlikely to increase, providing bottom - support for the price [3][4]. Spot - Stainless - steel spot transactions are mainly for rigid demand, with limited price fluctuations. Traders sell at stable prices. Although the price has cost support, affected by macro - uncertainties, the market is in a wait - and - see mood, and downstream buyers only make rigid - demand purchases. The basic demand in the peak season is stable, and in the short term, fundamentals such as supply - demand and cost are difficult to dominate the price trend. The stainless - steel price in the Wuxi market is 14,400 (-50) yuan/ton, and in the Foshan market, it is 14,400 (+0) yuan/ton. The 304/2B premium is 105 to 305 yuan/ton. According to SMM data, the ex - factory tax - inclusive average price of high - nickel pig iron yesterday changed by - 0.50 yuan/nickel point to 1,083.0 yuan/nickel point [4]. Strategy - Fundamentally, the supply growth expectation is stronger than that of the demand side, but cost support still exists. Macro and policy factors have become the main drivers of the stainless - steel trend. In the short term, stainless steel will still follow the nickel price trend and is expected to maintain a volatile state. The strategy for a single - side position is neutral, and there are no strategies for cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, or options [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Views of the Report - **Copper**: Overnight, both domestic and international copper prices fluctuated and weakened. The import window for domestic spot refined copper remained open, but import profitability declined. The US - Iran conflict and negotiations introduced uncertainties, and the market was still pricing in the macro - environment's variability. However, the macro - suppression has weakened marginally, and fundamental support is emerging. Copper prices are expected to enter a phase of "support at the bottom, lack of upward drive" and oscillate to find the bottom. It is recommended to shift from a previously cautious and bearish strategy to range - bound operations and gradually build long positions at key support levels, while paying attention to copper prices in the range of 90,000 - 100,000 yuan/ton [1]. - **Aluminum**: Overnight, alumina fluctuated weakly, while Shanghai aluminum and aluminum alloy fluctuated strongly. Overseas raw material cost support has gradually weakened. After the release of domestic production increments and the upcoming arrival of a large amount of imported alumina, inventory is under pressure. The market's core contradiction has shifted from high premiums due to overseas geopolitics to the weak reality of domestic inventory accumulation and slow - starting demand, as well as the logic of upward repair of the copper - aluminum ratio. If there are no unexpected geopolitical disturbances, aluminum prices are expected to adjust weakly in the short term. Attention should be paid to the approaching inflection point of inventory reduction and be vigilant against new geopolitical variables [1][2]. - **Nickel**: Overnight, LME nickel and Shanghai nickel declined. Nickel ore prices continued to strengthen, while primary nickel faced significant inventory pressure. On the demand side, stainless - steel inventory decreased week - on - week, and the supply of MHP was disrupted. Given the current strengthening cost side, there may be short - term long - trading opportunities based on the cost line, but attention should be paid to overseas geopolitics and market sentiment. There is also an expectation for supplementary quotas in July, which will also put pressure on nickel prices [2]. 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - Copper prices were volatile and declined this week due to significant macro - geopolitical disturbances. There are concerns about China's consumption capacity and the supply of scrap copper is tight. The report maintains a bullish view on copper in the medium - term and suggests paying attention to the support around 93,000 - 96,000 RMB next week [1] - Aluminum supply is damaged and it is highly energy - dependent, so it is expected to perform strongly in the metal sector despite the overall weakness of non - ferrous metals under the Fed's interest rate hike expectation [1] - Zinc's domestic fundamentals are average. In the short - term, the support is weak under the background of trading recession expectations, but long - term capital investment is limited and there are supply disturbances from Iran [4] - Nickel prices are expected to maintain range - bound oscillations under the condition of bearish fundamentals and bullish supply - side policy intervention [6] - Stainless steel is expected to follow nickel prices and maintain range - bound oscillations due to weak fundamentals and supply - side policy intervention [8] - Lead prices are expected to maintain a weak and oscillatory trend under the influence of overseas inventory drag and recycled lead profit support [10] - Tin prices are greatly affected by global macro - liquidity. If liquidity is loose, tin has strong upward elasticity; if liquidity tightens, the callback space is large [14] - Industrial silicon prices are expected to oscillate with costs in the short - term and bottom - oscillate around the seasonal marginal cost in the long - term [18] - Lithium carbonate's short - term fundamentals' spot contradictions are weakened, and the futures are mainly macro - driven. The upward breakthrough needs futures - spot resonance or unexpected supply disturbances, while the downward breakthrough needs demand collapse or unexpected resumption of production by CATL [20] Group 3: Summary by Metal Copper - This week, copper prices were volatile and declined. The overseas market questioned the US inventory siphoning ability, and there were concerns about China's consumption capacity. The domestic scrap copper supply was tight, and the substitution demand for electrolytic copper by scrap copper increased [1] Aluminum - Affected by the Iran crisis, some aluminum plants in the Middle East reduced production. The external market was stronger than the internal market, and the overall non - ferrous metals were under pressure, but aluminum is expected to perform strongly in the metal sector [1] Zinc - The medium - term zinc ore supply is expected to be tight. The downstream demand is weak, and the inventory has accumulated above 250,000 tons. In the short - term, the support is weak under the trading recession expectation [4] Nickel - The supply of pure nickel decreased in February. The demand is mainly for rigid needs, and the inventory is accumulating in China and slightly decreasing in LME. Nickel prices are expected to range - bound oscillate [6] Stainless Steel - Steel mill production decreased slightly. The downstream is gradually recovering. The cost has increased, and the inventory has decreased slightly. It is expected to follow nickel prices and range - bound oscillate [8] Lead - The primary lead production is resuming, and the recycled lead production is delayed. The battery demand is recovering, and the spot inventory has decreased. Lead prices are expected to be weakly oscillatory [10] Tin - Tin prices declined this week. The supply is gradually recovering, and there are supply - side risk factors. The demand is rigid, and the inventory is mainly in the exchange. The price is greatly affected by liquidity [14] Industrial Silicon - The supply is in a state close to balance. The price is expected to oscillate with costs in the short - term and bottom - oscillate in the long - term [18] Lithium Carbonate - In March, the de - stocking slowed down. The futures are mainly macro - driven. The upward and downward breakthroughs need specific conditions [20]
