1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Tin - Short - term tin prices may show a weakening oscillation due to the Middle - East war situation suppressing market risk appetite. However, the medium - to - long - term bullish logic remains. If the conflict shows signs of ending, long positions can be established at low prices [1]. Nickel - The Indonesian export tax news has brought short - term sentiment boost, but the macro - economic outlook is uncertain. The raw material supply is tight, and the inventory digestion is insufficient. The nickel price is expected to run in a relatively strong range, with the main contract referring to 134,000 - 142,000 [2]. Stainless Steel - The cost logic of stainless steel is strong recently. The news and the tight raw material supply provide support. The steel mill production is increasing, and the demand is gradually recovering but the terminal acceptance is still weak. The price is expected to maintain a relatively strong oscillation, with the main contract referring to 14,200 - 14,800 [5]. Lithium Carbonate - The supply disturbance has boosted market sentiment. The fundamental reality has weakened marginally in the short - term but still has resilience. The price is expected to run in a relatively strong range, with the main contract referring to 160,000 - 172,000 [7]. Aluminum - The alumina market is in an over - capacity stage, and the price is expected to fluctuate around the cost line. The short - term main contract is expected to run in the range of 2,800 - 3,100 yuan/ton. The electrolytic aluminum price is supported by supply - side constraints. The domestic market is expected to enter the de - stocking cycle in April, and the core operating range of Shanghai aluminum this week is expected to be 24,000 - 26,000 yuan/ton [9]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum alloy price is driven by the cost of electrolytic aluminum. It may show a pattern of weak supply and demand in the second quarter, and the short - term price is expected to run in the range of 23,000 - 24,500 yuan/ton, following the fluctuation of electrolytic aluminum [11]. Copper - The copper price is in an adjustment phase. The supply - demand fundamentals have improved slightly, and the inventory pressure has weakened. But the price is still suppressed. In the long - term, the long - cycle logic of copper supply - demand contradiction remains unchanged, and there may be opportunities for long - term long positions. The main contract should pay attention to the pressure at 97,000 - 98,000 [13]. Zinc - Zinc is in a cycle of weak supply and demand. The contradiction lies between the mine and smelting ends. The smelting cost supports the zinc price. The downstream may replenish inventory in the peak season, and the export space may be opened. The zinc price is expected to have limited room for further decline, and opportunities for price rebound on the right - hand side can be arranged [15]. Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon has cost support at the bottom and hedging and arbitrage pressure at the top. The supply is expected to increase seasonally in the second quarter, and the demand is expected to be stable. The price is expected to oscillate around 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton [16]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon is in a cycle of oversupply, and the price will continue to be under pressure. It is recommended to wait and see for the time being [17]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints Tin - The short - term market sentiment is volatile, and it is recommended to be cautious. There is still a long - term bullish logic for tin prices, and short - term adjustments may provide opportunities for long - term long positions [3] Copper - In the short - term, due to multiple factors, copper prices are oscillating around 100,000 yuan/ton. In the long - term, the center of copper prices is expected to rise. Short - term adjustments may provide opportunities for long - term long positions [5] Zinc - The zinc fundamentals are generally good. The price downside space may be limited without significant recession risks at the macro level. However, if the downstream production resumption in the peak season fails to meet expectations, the domestic inventory pressure may suppress the upside space [7] Industrial Silicon - The cost increase may strongly support the bottom of industrial silicon prices. In March, supply and demand are expected to be strong. Attention should be paid to the production and sales recovery and cost fluctuations [9] Polysilicon - The polysilicon market is currently oversupplied, but the low - cost photovoltaic power may be beneficial to the long - term development of photovoltaic demand. It is recommended to wait and see for now [10] Aluminum - Alumina prices are expected to continue wide - range oscillations, and short - selling on rallies is recommended. Aluminum prices are expected to oscillate at high levels in the short - term, and the long - term bullish logic remains unchanged [11] Nickel - The overseas macro uncertainty increases, and the raw material end contradictions support the price. The demand has improved slightly, but high inventory restricts the price increase. The disk is expected to oscillate strongly [12] Stainless Steel - The overseas macro risk uncertainty increases, the raw material end is tight, and the cost supports the price. The supply and demand are in a continuous game, and the short - term is expected to oscillate and adjust [16] Lithium Carbonate - The macro risk persists, and the fundamentals maintain resilience but lack strong drivers. The disk is expected to oscillate widely around the macro expectations, and it is recommended to wait and see for now [19] Aluminum Alloy - The short - term market will continue to oscillate in the context of weak supply and demand.

Core Viewpoint - The market sentiment has declined recently, leading to a drop of over 7% in the main contract for tin on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, influenced by a rebound in the US dollar index and pressure on precious metals and non-ferrous sectors [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The tin market is experiencing limited fundamental changes, with the resumption of production in Myanmar easing the tight supply situation for tin ore [1] - Tin ore processing fees have slightly increased, indicating some cost pressures in the supply chain [1] Group 2: Demand and Supply - The recovery speed of terminal demand for tin remains slow, contributing to the overall market weakness [1] - As tin prices have significantly declined, there has been a resurgence in the willingness of downstream industries to replenish their inventories [1]

Core Viewpoint - The tin market is experiencing significant price declines due to macroeconomic shifts, seasonal demand weakness, and supply constraints, leading to a tight balance in the market [2][3][4]. Group 1: Market Performance - The Shanghai tin contract 2603 saw a substantial drop, closing at 392,650 yuan/ton, down 48,530 yuan, or 11% [1]. - The trading volume for the main contract was 190,922 lots, with open interest at 38,321 lots, a decrease of 1,758 lots from the previous day [1]. - The spot tin price in the Yangtze River market reported a decline of 31,000 yuan, averaging 392,750 yuan/ton [1]. Group 2: Supply Side Analysis - The supply side is characterized by both expected increases from Myanmar's resumption and Indonesia's new capacity, which may pressure prices in the short term [3]. - However, long-term constraints remain due to limited global tin resources and declining ore grades, leading to higher extraction costs [3]. - The current supply structure indicates a short-term increase in supply but persistent long-term bottlenecks, maintaining a tight balance in the market [3]. Group 3: Demand Side Analysis - The demand side is facing a seasonal vacuum, particularly in traditional sectors like consumer electronics and home appliances, leading to a lack of immediate support in the spot market [4]. - While emerging sectors such as AI computing and new energy vehicles show clear demand growth, this structural increase will take time to materialize and cannot offset the seasonal decline in traditional sectors [4]. - Consequently, short-term demand weakness is a fundamental reason for price pressure [4]. Group 4: Industry Chain Dynamics - The sharp drop in tin prices has intensified competition among different segments of the industry chain, altering expectations and behaviors [5]. - Upstream mining remains strong in pricing power due to resource scarcity, while midstream smelting faces pressure from high raw material costs and falling product prices [5]. - Downstream processing and end-user companies are adopting a wait-and-see approach, leading to a significant reduction in purchasing activity and market liquidity [5]. Group 5: Future Outlook - The market is expected to experience short-term fluctuations influenced by macroeconomic sentiment and seasonal demand, with a focus on adjustments [6]. - Despite current pressures, the extremely low visible inventory provides a support level for prices [6]. - Long-term structural demand growth driven by AI and energy transition remains clear, while supply constraints persist, indicating that the fundamental tight balance in the market is unlikely to change [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided in the reports regarding industry investment ratings. 2. Core Views Tin - Short - term price is highly volatile due to market sentiment. After a sharp decline on Friday night, it's advisable to be cautious in the short - term. Consider a low - buying strategy after the sentiment stabilizes [1]. Copper - In the long - term, the price bottom center is expected to rise due to capital expenditure constraints on the supply side. In the short - term, the price is strong because of global inventory structural imbalance and supply concerns. However, real terminal demand is weak. With the cooling of speculative sentiment and easing of tariff expectations, the price may return to fundamental pricing. Pay attention to CL premium and LME inventory changes, with the main contract supported at 97500 - 98500 [3]. Nickel - Recent trading is centered around macro and Indonesian ore RKAB quota. Short - term ore news has limited further driving force. The market is expected to fluctuate widely, with the main contract reference range of 135000 - 145000 [5]. Zinc - The price is supported by domestic ore shortage and pressured by expected imported ore supply and negative demand feedback. It is expected to fluctuate in the short - term. Focus on zinc ore TC and refined zinc inventory changes, with the main contract supported around 23800 [8]. Lithium Carbonate - The fundamentals show some resilience in the off - season. With a loose macro environment and strengthened supervision, there is resistance to further price increases. The market has intensified long - short divergence. The short - term market may adjust widely, with the main contract running between 140,000 - 150,000. Use short - term range trading [11]. Aluminum - Alumina prices lack upward momentum due to loose supply, weakening demand, and high inventory. It is expected to fluctuate widely around the industry cash cost line, with the main contract in the range of 2600 - 2950 yuan/ton. Aluminum prices are expected to maintain a high - level wide - range oscillation in the short - term, with the main contract in the range of 23000 - 25000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to domestic inventory accumulation speed, downstream consumption resilience, and overseas monetary policies and geopolitical events [13]. Aluminum Alloy - The short - term price range is limited. The ADC12 price is expected to continue high - level oscillation, with the main contract in the range of 22000 - 24000 yuan/ton. Focus on raw material price changes, actual inflow of imported goods, and downstream pre - holiday inventory building [15]. Stainless Steel - Raw material news drives sentiment and strengthens cost support. Social inventory is steadily digested, but downstream demand in the off - season is weak. It is expected to oscillate in the short - term, with the main contract in the range of 13800 - 14500. Pay attention to ore news and downstream inventory building [18]. Polysilicon - The demand outlook has improved due to export - grabbing demand, and there is an expectation of supply reduction. The price is supported at 48,000 yuan/ton. Component production may increase, which is beneficial for inventory digestion. In the cooling period, it's advisable to wait and see, and focus on later production cuts and downstream demand recovery [20]. Industrial Silicon - The market remains in a state of weak supply and demand, with low - level oscillation. The price is expected to fluctuate between 8000 - 9000 yuan/ton. Pay attention to supply - side production changes and potential further polysilicon production cuts [21]. 3.
