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 No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report In the next one to two weeks, copper prices are expected to remain range - bound. The supply side is tight, the demand side is generally stable but with weak new demand, and the macro - sentiment is affected by the geopolitical situation in the Middle East [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Copper Futures Market Data Change Analysis - **Main Contract and Basis**: On March 27, 2026, the SHFE main contract price rose slightly to 95,820 yuan/ton, a 0.59% increase from the previous day. The LME copper price on March 26, 2026, was 12,120 US dollars/ton, down from the previous day. The premium of flat - water copper strengthened, rising to - 100 yuan/ton, while the premiums of premium copper and wet - process copper remained stable [1][39]. - **Position and Trading Volume**: On March 26, 2026, the LME copper futures position increased slightly to 296,463 lots, an increase of 326 lots from the previous day, indicating a slight increase in market participation. There is no direct data on trading volume [1]. Industry Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Change Analysis - **Supply Side**: Mine supply is continuously tight. The commissioning of Rio Tinto's Resolution copper mine is delayed until the 2030s, and Barrick has postponed the development of the Reko Diq project in Pakistan, increasing medium - and long - term supply uncertainty. The supply of recycled copper is tight, leading to a narrowing of the refined - scrap price difference and a significant decline in the domestic trade copper concentrate processing fee. Chile faces a risk of sulfuric acid shortage, which may push up smelting costs and suppress short - term production capacity release [2]. - **Demand Side**: Overall demand is stable but shows obvious differentiation. The SMM copper cable production start - up rate increased slightly by 0.24 percentage points to 70.77%. However, the demand in the home appliance field is weakening, and the new orders in the home decoration and enameled wire industries are weak due to the rising price of plastic raw materials. The automobile field provides some support, but new orders decreased by 11.19 percentage points month - on - month [2]. - **Inventory Side**: Domestic inventory continues the destocking trend. On March 26, 2026, the SMM copper inventory in the country's mainstream areas decreased by 18.29% month - on - month, decreasing for two consecutive weeks. The LME inventory on March 27, 2026, dropped to 237,076 tons, a 3.8% decrease month - on - month, but the absolute level is still at a near - 8 - year high. The SHFE inventory increased slightly to 360,250 tons, reflecting the pressure of imported goods arriving at the port, but the expectation of destocking is rising [2]. Price Trend Judgment In the next one to two weeks, copper prices are expected to remain range - bound. The driving reasons are tight supply (mine shutdowns and recycled copper shortages support costs), generally stable demand (existing orders support but new demand is weak), and macro - sentiment being disturbed by the geopolitical situation in the Middle East (escalation of conflicts may suppress risk appetite). The price range is 12,000 - 12,500 US dollars/ton for LME copper and 95,000 - 97,000 yuan/ton for SHFE copper [3].
