Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The demand for safe - haven assets is boosted by the potential U.S. government shutdown, and the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut is strengthened. The real interest rate of U.S. Treasury bonds is declining. Global central banks are continuously increasing their gold holdings, and the "de - dollarization" trend enhances the allocation value of gold. Geopolitical uncertainties and concerns about the U.S. dollar's credit further support the long - term safe - haven nature of precious metals [3]. - The upward gap of Shanghai copper yesterday was in line with expectations. Whether sentiment or expectation will be dominant in the future may affect copper price fluctuations. From a trend perspective, Shanghai copper has broken through, and in the short - term cycle, it has reached the upper range of fluctuations. Adjustment at high levels is not unexpected, and the same situation applies to LME copper [18]. - Affected by copper and gold prices and macro - policies, Shanghai aluminum is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term. Alumina is still in an oversupply situation, and the prices of domestic and foreign spot alumina are continuously falling. Cast aluminum alloy has a strong follow - up effect on Shanghai aluminum and is also expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term [37]. - The zinc price was driven by the overall rise of the non - ferrous metal sector in the previous trading day. The LME zinc price was stronger during the holiday, and the import profit and loss has reached a low point, with the export window expected to open soon. The fundamentals of Shanghai zinc are still weak, with an obvious pattern of strong supply and weak demand [61]. - In the nickel industry chain, the quota for nickel mines in Indonesia in 2026 is expected to decrease. The purchasing intention in the new energy sector has recovered after the holiday, and the price of nickel iron is limited in its downward space due to cost pressure. The spot trading of stainless steel has improved after the holiday, and the export situation is favorable [77]. - Affected by the U.S. government shutdown during the holiday, the macro - uncertainty has increased. The expectation of interest rate cuts has become the main trading logic in the market again. Coupled with supply - side disturbances in Wa State and Indonesia, Shanghai tin is still considered to be in a strong position [91]. - The previous market expectation of the shutdown of lithium mines in Jiangxi has not been verified. Attention should be paid to the resumption progress of Xiawo lithium mine and the restocking situation of downstream sectors [107]. - For industrial silicon, as the dry season approaches, more enterprises are expected to cut production, and the price center may move slightly upward, but the overall inventory in the industry will suppress the price increase. For polysilicon, the market trading will focus on the expectations of "platform establishment in October" and "centralized cancellation of warehouse receipts in November", and investors should be cautious due to high volatility [118].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Gold: The risk - averse demand is boosted by the US government shutdown, with over 90% expectation of a Fed rate cut in October. Real interest rates are declining, and there is capital inflow led by Western investors due to the "currency depreciation trade". Central banks' continuous gold - buying and geopolitical uncertainties strengthen the long - term logic [3]. - Copper: Shanghai copper futures opened higher due to the rise in overseas copper prices, but the willingness of the industry to accept goods at high prices is questionable. If post - holiday consumption fails to follow up, copper prices may face downward pressure [15]. - Zinc: The supply is in an oversupply state. The domestic zinc ore has a price advantage, and overseas zinc ore supply is abundant. The domestic inventory is accumulating, and the LME inventory is decreasing. Zinc prices are expected to fluctuate in the short term [36]. - Nickel: During the National Day holiday, overseas nickel prices were strong due to policy uncertainties in Indonesia. The supply of upstream nickel ore is expected to tighten, while downstream demand has not significantly improved. Domestic nickel prices are expected to rise slightly after the holiday but with limited upward momentum [51]. - Tin: After the Fed's interest rate decision, the macro impact on tin prices has decreased. In the short - term, the supply is tight, and the weak demand has little impact on prices. Tin prices are likely to fluctuate [66]. - Lithium carbonate: The previous expectation of a shutdown in Jiangxi's lithium ore market has not been verified. Attention should be paid to the resumption progress of Xiawo lithium ore and the restocking of downstream sectors [77]. - Silicon: For industrial silicon, prices may rise slightly as enterprises are expected to cut production during the dry season, but the high inventory will limit the price increase. For polysilicon, the market will focus on the expectations of "platform establishment in October" and "centralized cancellation of warehouse receipts in November", and the risk is relatively high [87]. - Aluminum: For aluminum, the short - term price is affected by the mismatch between the increase in seasonal demand and the decline compared to the previous year. The inventory is expected to accumulate during the National Day, but the policy may bring positive sentiment, and the short - term trend is slightly bullish. For alumina, it is in an oversupply state, but the downward profit space may be limited. For cast aluminum alloy, the price is supported by raw material costs and pre - holiday stocking, but weak demand suppresses the price, and it is expected to fluctuate slightly upward [117][118][119]. 3.
