In China, the September manufacturing PMI was 49.8%, up 0.4 percentage points from the previous month [35] - The nickel futures in Shanghai showed a weak and volatile trend this week. The premium and discount of refined nickel brands were stable with average trading. Due to the rainy season in the Philippines and the impact of Typhoon "Seagull", supply was affected, while the Indonesian nickel ore market supply was relatively loose. The price of nickel sulfate was firm due to increased downstream ternary sales, but its medium - term strength remains to be seen. Stainless steel mills were cautious in raw material procurement, with weak terminal demand and slow inventory reduction. The expected operating range of the Shanghai nickel主力合约 is approximately 117,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton, and that of the stainless steel主力合约 is about 12,200 - 13,100 yuan/ton [35]

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the non-ferrous metals market, particularly focusing on copper, lithium, cobalt, rare earths, and aluminum sectors [1][2][3]. Key Points and Arguments Copper Market - The copper market is facing supply tightness, with several mining companies lowering production guidance, leading to a year-on-year production decline of approximately 104,000 tons in Q3 2025, potentially reaching 150,000 tons by year-end [3][4]. - The anticipated new supply for 2026 is limited to about 300,000 tons, with Freeport's recovery not meeting expectations, which could exacerbate supply issues [4]. - Demand for copper remains strong, driven by a 4% year-on-year increase in electricity consumption in the U.S., particularly in power equipment [6]. - Copper prices are expected to break through the $14,000 to $15,000 per ton range by early 2026 [7]. Rare Earths - The relaxation of rare earth export controls is expected to lead to significant overseas restocking, replicating the substantial export increases seen in Q3 2025 [1][9]. - Domestic regulations on imported ore smelting are tightening, with non-compliant smelting plants facing consolidation or shutdown, which will support the fundamentals of the rare earth market [10]. - Key companies recommended include China Rare Earth and Guangsheng Nonferrous [10]. Lithium Market - The lithium market is projected to shift from marginal oversupply to tightness, with expected storage demand growth of 80% in 2026 [11]. - Following a production halt by CATL, inventory depletion has been significant, with weekly reductions increasing from 1,000 tons to 3,000 tons due to surging storage orders [12]. - Companies to watch include Guocheng Mining, Dazhong Mining, and Shengxin Lithium Energy, which are expected to benefit from price increases [12]. Cobalt Market - Cobalt prices are anticipated to rise, despite a current price drop to around 400,000 yuan, primarily due to supply constraints from the Democratic Republic of Congo [14]. - The industry is expected to face a shortage of 20,000 to 30,000 tons of raw materials in 2026, pushing prices higher [14]. - Companies of interest include Huayou Cobalt, Li Qun Co., and Tengyuan Technology [15]. Nickel Market - The nickel market is closely tied to Indonesia's RKA B quota disclosures, as Indonesia controls 60% of global nickel supply [16]. - A lower-than-expected quota could lead to a slight increase in nickel prices, which are currently supported at $15,000 per ton [16]. Aluminum Market - The aluminum sector is experiencing upward momentum due to multiple catalysts, including potential shutdowns of major production facilities in the U.S. and Mozambique [17][18]. - China's aluminum exports account for nearly 40%, and the outlook for external demand is optimistic, particularly following recent monetary easing in the U.S. and Europe [18]. Additional Important Insights - The overall sentiment in the metals market is bullish, with expectations of a comprehensive bull market for both non-ferrous and ferrous metals in 2026 [2]. - The focus on energy transition and technological advancements in mining and smelting processes is expected to influence supply dynamics significantly [5][10].
