Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the non-ferrous metal industry is entering a new upward cycle driven by macroeconomic factors, including liquidity easing from the Federal Reserve and supply chain disruptions [1][2] - As of November 27, the non-ferrous metal ETF (512400) has seen a net inflow of 87.28 million yuan, with a total of 396 million yuan in net inflows over the past five trading days [1] - The industrial metal sector is benefiting from multiple macroeconomic positives, with expectations for continued growth in the non-ferrous metal industry's performance into 2026 [1] Group 2 - The long-term investment logic for precious metals remains solid, supported by strong central bank gold purchases and ongoing geopolitical risks [2] - In the aluminum market, prices are expected to approach 3,000 USD per ton by Q1 2026 due to rising copper prices and supply risks [2] - The lithium industry is projected to continue its upward trend, driven by strong demand from the energy storage sector, despite a temporary slowdown in overseas lithium production [2] Group 3 - The non-ferrous metal ETF closely tracks the CSI Shenwan Non-Ferrous Metal Index, which includes 50 listed companies to reflect the overall performance of the non-ferrous metal sector [3] - The top ten weighted stocks in the index include Zijin Mining, Northern Rare Earth, and China Aluminum, among others [3]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report In 2026, the non-ferrous metal market will continue to trade on the two themes of "macro-policy disturbances" and "mine supply security." The prices of different metals will significantly diverge based on their supply-demand fundamentals. It is advisable to focus on structural opportunities, such as the long-term allocation value of copper, aluminum, and tin, the internal and external arbitrage window in the zinc market, and the banded rebound opportunities of cobalt, nickel, and other varieties due to policy or cost support. The strength ranking of major global non-ferrous metals in 2026 is: tin > copper > aluminum > cobalt > zinc > nickel > lithium > lead [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Macro and Industry Background: Game, Deviation, and Resource Security - **Geopolitical Aspect**: Sino-US game remains a long-term core variable affecting global trade and the basic metal market. Although there was a period of relaxation since October this year, the long-term structural competition pattern remains unchanged, bringing continuous uncertainty to the market [2]. - **Economic Deviation**: The weak global manufacturing PMI data deviates from the strong performance of some basic metal prices. The OECD predicts that China's GDP growth rate will drop from 4.7% this year to 4.4% next year, confirming the weak real economy [2]. - **Monetary Environment**: The market highly focuses on the Fed's monetary policy path. Overall, global liquidity will remain relatively loose in the future. The long-term weakening of the US dollar's credit will provide systematic support for commodity prices [4]. - **Resource Dependence Crisis**: China has a very high external dependence on non-ferrous metal minerals. Any supply disturbances in overseas mines will be magnified and quickly transmitted to the price end [6]. - **Low Inventory Effect**: Globally, the exchange inventories of most basic metals are at historically low levels, which weakens the market's buffer capacity against sudden supply-demand changes and increases price volatility [6]. 2. Outlook for the Non-Ferrous Metal Market in 2026: Differentiation and Structural Opportunities 2.1 Copper - **Core Logic**: Tight mine supply is the dominant contradiction, and financial attributes determine price elasticity [9]. - **Supply Side**: Copper concentrate supply is continuously tight, and the spot TC price index has been low or even negative for nearly 8 - 9 months. Global mine disturbances are frequent, and the supply-demand shortage of copper concentrate is expected to be about 500,000 tons in 2026 [9]. - **Demand Side**: New energy is the core driving force. In 2026, the new energy sector is expected to bring 213,000 tons and 141,000 tons of copper consumption increments to the Chinese and overseas markets respectively [9]. - **Inventory and Balance**: Although the global refined copper inventory as of November 6 is at a five-year high, the fundamental shortage at the mine end will push the price center upward. The current copper price close to 90,000 yuan/ton is expected to break through the 90,000 mark in 2026 [9]. 2.2 Electrolytic Aluminum - **Core Logic**: The "ceiling" of production capacity formed by China's supply-side reform and the new production capacity in Indonesia are the main contradictions, and low inventory amplifies price volatility [12]. - **Supply Side**: China's production capacity has reached the ceiling, and the key variable next year is the progress of Indonesia's new production capacity of about 600,000 tons and power supply. Overseas disturbances intensify the tightness. The global electrolytic aluminum production in 2026 is expected to be 75.15 million tons [12]. - **Demand Side**: Consumption growth is concentrated in the new energy field, and the consumption growth rate of the transportation sector in 2026 is expected to be 5% [12]. - **Inventory and Balance**: The global inventory is about 1.49 million tons, and the domestic inventory is less than 800,000 tons. A supply gap of 180,000 tons is expected in 2026, maintaining a tight balance [12]. - **Attribute Evolution**: The strategic attribute of aluminum is becoming increasingly prominent, enhancing its financial attribute and increasing its linkage with copper [12]. 2.3 Lead & Zinc - **Zinc**: The core feature is the serious divergence of internal and external market inventories, which creates a historical window for internal and external arbitrage. The growth rate of global zinc concentrate is expected to fall below 4% in 2026. China's zinc ingot is expected to have a surplus of 1.15 million tons in 2026, while overseas may reverse the shortage situation [13]. - **Lead**: It has entered an "internal circulation" cycle dominated by recycled lead, with a proportion of over 50%. The domestic market maintains a tight balance, while overseas may have a slight surplus. China's production is expected to slightly increase from 6.92 million tons to 6.95 million tons in 2026 [14]. 2.4 Nickel & Cobalt - **Nickel**: The primary nickel market remains in surplus, and the supply-demand difference in 2026 is expected to be 46,000 tons. The sufficient supply of nickel pig iron and MHP continues to suppress the nickel price. The future core variables are Indonesia's industrial policies and cost competition among different process routes [17]. - **Cobalt**: The floating quota policy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the biggest variable. This mechanism has become an "automatic stabilizer" for the price, giving the cobalt price strong elasticity [17]. 2.5 Tin & Lithium - **Tin**: The core logic is the rigid supply constraint versus the structural growth of demand. The resumption of production in Myanmar's Wa State is less than expected, and the grade of overseas tin mines is declining. The global supply gap in 2026 is expected to be 730,000 tons, which is the fundamental reason for the continuous strengthening of the tin price for three years [19]. - **Lithium**: The global supply surplus pattern continues. The concentrated release of medium and low-grade lithium resource production capacity and the maturity of technologies such as lithium extraction from salt lakes lead to a downward shift in the cost center. The lithium price still faces downward pressure in the medium and long term [19]. 3. Summary - **Supply-Driven First Echelon**: Tin, copper, and aluminum have the strongest foundation for a structural bull market [21]. - **Policy/Structural Disturbance Second Echelon**: Cobalt and zinc have significant banded and structural opportunities [21]. - **Surplus Suppression Type**: Nickel, lithium, and lead are under overall pressure, mainly based on the logic of rebound and cost support [21].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The overall market is complex and diverse, with different trends and investment opportunities in various commodity sectors. Some sectors are affected by geopolitical factors, supply - demand imbalances, and policy changes. For example, gold and silver may see potential price increases, while some base metals and energy chemicals may face downward pressure or be in a state of oscillation [2][3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Gold Market - Market Performance: On Wednesday, precious metal prices strengthened. London gold broke through $4150 and closed at $4166 per ounce [2]. - Fundamentals: US envoy Witkoff will visit Moscow next week; the Russian president's press secretary said it's too early to talk about the end of the Russia - Ukraine conflict.

The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a £26 billion tax - increase plan. ETFs continued to flow in, and there were changes in gold and silver inventories in different regions [2]. - Trading Strategy: It is recommended to buy gold at the lower support level. For silver, due to the re - emergence of overseas market tensions and significant price increases, short - term long positions can be considered [2]. Base Metals Aluminum - Market Performance: The closing price of the main electrolytic aluminum contract decreased by 0.05% compared with the previous trading day, closing at 21,455 yuan/ton. The domestic 0 - 3 month spread was - 110 yuan/ton, and the LME price was $2811 per ton [3]. - Fundamentals: On the supply side, electrolytic aluminum plants maintained high - load production, and the operating capacity increased slightly. On the demand side, the weekly starting rate of aluminum products remained stable [3]. - Trading Strategy: With the increase in the expectation of interest rate cuts in December and the destocking of aluminum ingots this week, the aluminum price showed a technical rebound. It is expected that the price will maintain an oscillatory adjustment [3]. Alumina - Market Performance: The closing price of the main alumina contract decreased by 0.26% compared with the previous trading day, closing at 2720 yuan/ton, and the domestic 0 - 3 month spread was 14 yuan/ton [3]. - Fundamentals: On the supply side, there was no long - term maintenance and production reduction, and the operating capacity fluctuated slightly. On the demand side, electrolytic aluminum plants maintained high - load production [3]. - Trading Strategy: Alumina is still in the stage of game between supply - demand surplus and cost support, and the market is highly wait - and - see. It is expected that the alumina price will maintain an oscillatory and weak trend before large - scale production reduction [3]. Industrial Silicon - Market Performance: On Wednesday, the price fluctuated narrowly throughout the day. The main 01 contract closed at 9020 yuan/ton, up 60 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, with a closing price increase of 0.67%. The position decreased by 3390 lots to 260,000 lots, and the variety's settled funds increased by 16 million yuan [3]. - Fundamentals: On the supply side, the number of open furnaces decreased by 5 last week, and the starting rate in the southwest region is expected to drop by 50% in November. Social inventory increased slightly, and warehouse receipt inventory decreased slightly this week. On the demand side, the start - up of polysilicon supported the demand, and SMM expects the output in November to be 120,000 tons. Organic silicon monomer plants reached a consensus to support prices. The starting rate of aluminum alloy was relatively stable [3]. - Trading Strategy: Fundamentally, supply and demand are relatively stable. The downstream polysilicon and organic silicon industries are promoting anti - involution, supporting prices while the output decreases month - on - month. The disk is expected to operate in the range of 8600 - 9400 yuan/ton. It is recommended to wait and see [3]. Lithium Carbonate - Market Performance: Yesterday, LC2605 closed at 96,340 yuan/ton (- 1000), with a closing price decrease of 1.03% [4]. - Fundamentals: The spot price of Australian spodumene concentrate (CIF China) was $1185 per ton, up $65 per ton from the previous day. SMM reported the price of electric carbon at 92,800 yuan/ton and industrial carbon at 90,400 yuan/ton. The weekly output last week reached a new high of 22,130 tons, an increase of 585 tons month - on - month. SMM expects the output in November to be 92,080 tons, a decrease of 0.2% month - on - month. In November, the production schedule of lithium iron phosphate was 410,000 tons, a 4.0% increase from October and a 43.5% increase year - on - year. The production schedule of ternary materials was 85,000 tons, a 1.4% increase from October and a 39.8% increase year - on - year. It is expected to continue destocking from November to December, but the shortage will narrow in December. The sample inventory last week was 118,400 tons, a decrease of 2052 tons, and the destocking speed slowed down. The inventory was transferred to the trader link, and the high - level futures delayed the downstream price - fixing rhythm. The number of Guangzhou Futures Exchange warehouse receipts was 27,050 lots (+ 435 lots) [4]. - Trading Strategy: Pay attention to the inventory data after the Thursday session. The degree of destocking has a great impact on short - term price changes. If you hold long positions, it is recommended to pay close attention to the disk and set stop - loss and take - profit levels [4]. Polysilicon - Market Performance: On Wednesday, the disk rose rapidly after opening and then fluctuated narrowly throughout the day. The main 01 contract closed at 55,895 yuan/ton, up 1165 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, with a closing price increase of 2.13%.

The number of warehouse receipts remained unchanged at 7270 lots [4]. - Fundamentals: On the supply side, the weekly output decreased slightly. SMM expects the output in November to be 120,000 tons. The industry inventory increased this week, and the warehouse receipts continued to decrease as the warehouse receipt cancellation period approached. On the demand side, the prices of silicon wafers and battery cells decreased slightly. The production schedules of silicon wafers and battery cells in November decreased slightly compared with October. The new photovoltaic installed capacity in September was 9.66GW, a 53.8% decrease year - on - year and a 31.25% decrease month - on - month. The "Document 136" mechanism electricity price policy was intensively introduced in various provinces, and it is expected that the photovoltaic installed capacity in the fourth quarter in China will face pressure [4]. - Trading Strategy: Currently, the spot transaction price is between 53,000 - 55,000 yuan. The near - month disk may gradually strengthen due to the possibility of a short squeeze. It is expected that the downstream production schedule in December will decline at an accelerated pace. When the progress of the near - month storage platform is less than expected, there are many market rumors. It is necessary to distinguish the authenticity. It is recommended to wait and see [4]. Black Industry Rebar - Market Performance: The main rebar 2601 contract closed at 3085 yuan/ton, a decrease of 12 yuan/ton compared with the night - session closing price of the previous trading day [5]. - Fundamentals: According to the Zhaogang data, the apparent demand for building materials decreased by 4.82 million tons month - on - month, and the output decreased by 50,000 tons to 442,000 tons. According to the Ganggu data, the apparent demand for building materials decreased by 130,000 tons to 3.64 million tons, and the output decreased by 120,000 tons. The supply and demand of steel are weak, and the structural differentiation is still significant. The demand for building materials is in the peak season, with a slight marginal improvement in demand but still weak year - on - year, and the supply also decreased significantly year - on - year, so the contradiction is limited. The demand for plates is stable, and direct and indirect exports remain high, but due to the high output, destocking is difficult. Rebar futures have a large discount and low valuation; the discount of hot - rolled coil futures is basically the same as the previous month, and the valuation is high. Steel mills continue to make losses, and the output may continue to decrease marginally and slightly [5]. - Trading Strategy: Exit and wait and see. Try to short the hot - rolled coil 2605 contract. The reference range for RB01 is 3050 - 3100 yuan/ton [5]. Iron Ore - Market Performance: The main iron ore 2601 contract closed at 792.5 yuan/ton, a decrease of 3 yuan/ton compared with the night - session closing price of the previous trading day [5]. - Fundamentals: The shipments from Australia and Brazil decreased by 2.71 million tons month - on - month and increased by 898,000 tons year - on - year. The arrivals increased by 24% month - on - month to 29.39 million tons and increased by 15% year - on - year. The inventory increased by 240,000 tons to 158 million tons compared with Thursday, a decrease of 3.8 million tons year - on - year. The supply and demand of iron ore are weak. According to the Steel Union data, the pig iron output decreased by 600,000 tons month - on - month and increased by 20,000 tons year - on - year. The third round of coke price increase has been implemented, and there is a game for the fourth round. Steel mills' profits are poor, and the subsequent blast furnace output may decrease steadily. The supply side conforms to the seasonal pattern and is slightly higher year - on - year. The supply and demand of iron ore are weakening marginally. Iron ore maintains a forward discount structure, but the absolute level remains at a relatively low level in the same period of history, and the valuation is moderately high [5]. - Trading Strategy: Exit and wait and see. Try to short the iron ore 2605 contract. The reference range for I01 is 780 - 800 yuan/ton [5]. Coking Coal - Market Performance: The main coking coal 2601 contract closed at 1069 yuan/ton, an increase of 2 yuan/ton compared with the night - session closing price of the previous trading day [6]. - Fundamentals: The pig iron output decreased by 600,000 tons month - on - month to 2.363 million tons, an increase of 50,000 tons year - on - year. Steel mills' profits are deteriorating, and the subsequent blast furnace output may decrease steadily. The third round of price increase has been implemented, and there is a game for subsequent price increases. The inventories at different supply - chain links are differentiated. The coking coal inventories and inventory days of steel mills and coking plants are at a moderate level in the same period of history, the pit - mouth inventory is low, and the overall inventory level is moderate. The futures are at a premium to the spot, and the forward premium structure is maintained. The futures valuation is high [6]. - Trading Strategy: Exit and wait and see. The reference range for JM01 is 1050 - 1100 yuan/ton [6]. Agricultural Products Market Soybean Meal - Market Performance: Overnight, CBOT soybeans rose slightly [7]. - Fundamentals: On the supply side, the near - term supply is shrinking, but it is still a quantitative change. In the long - term, South America maintains the expectation of large supply in a normal year, but the overall annual output decreases year - on - year. Currently, South America is in the sowing and growing stage. On the demand side, US soybean crushing is strong, while exports are still in a game, depending on China's non - commercial procurement volume in the later stage. In general, the global supply - demand situation is improving marginally but still remains loose [7]. - Trading Strategy: US soybeans are expected to be in a state of oscillation; the domestic market is also expected to be oscillatory in the short - term, and the medium - term trend depends on the progress of tariff policies and the output in the producing areas [7]. Corn - Market Performance: Corn futures prices are running strongly, and corn spot prices continue to rise [7]. - Fundamentals: Weather factors have postponed the supply. Currently, the national corn channel inventory is at a low level, and there is a need for inventory building. The deep - processing profit is good, the demand is strong, and the acquisition intention is relatively high. The short - term supply - demand tightness has led to a rebound in spot prices. However, the arrival of new corn in Northeast China is approaching. The new crop is expected to increase in production, and the cost of corn has decreased significantly, which suppresses the long - term price expectation. Attention should be paid to weather and policy changes [7]. - Trading Strategy: Due to the short - term supply - demand mismatch, the futures price is running strongly. Attention should be paid to selling - hedging opportunities [7]. Edible Oils - Market Performance: The Malaysian palm oil market rose yesterday [7]. - Fundamentals: On the supply side, the output in the producing areas is high. MPOA estimates that the output from November 1 - 20 increased by 3.2% month - on - month. On the demand side, ITS estimates that the exports of Malaysian palm oil from November 1 - 25 decreased by 19% month - on - month. Overall, the near - term Malaysian palm oil inventory continues to accumulate, and the long - term inventory will decrease seasonally [7]. - Trading Strategy: Palm oil leads the decline in the edible oil market, and there are differences among varieties. Attention should be paid to the later output and biodiesel policies [7]. Sugar - Market Performance: The Zhengzhou sugar 01 contract closed at 5391 yuan/ton, a 0.02% increase. The basis between the Guangxi spot price and the Zhengzhou sugar 01 contract was 322 yuan/ton, and the estimated profit of imported Brazilian sugar after processing and customs clearance was 752 yuan/ton [7]. - Fundamentals: Internationally, the export situation of India in the later stage will affect the international trend. In the short - term, raw sugar is oscillating at a low level. In the long - term, the global production increase trend remains unchanged, and the 26/27 sugar - crushing season will continue to seek the bottom through oscillation. In China, new sugar is gradually coming onto the market. The expected increase in production in Guangxi has been significantly revised up, and the import pressure in October is prominent. The domestic pressure in the fourth quarter is relatively large, and the current decline has been realized and is coming to an end [7]. - Trading Strategy: In the futures market, it is recommended to go short at high levels; for options, it is recommended to sell call options [7]. Cotton - Market Performance: Overnight, US cotton futures prices rebounded, and international crude oil prices stopped falling and rebounded [8]. - Fundamentals: Internationally, as of October 9, the cumulative net signing of US cotton exports in the 25/26 season was 1.065 million tons, reaching 40.11% of the annual expectation, and the cumulative shipment was 318,000 tons, with a shipment rate of 29.89%. Domestically, Zhengzhou cotton futures prices oscillated upward, and the Xinjiang basis decreased month - on - month. Currently, the increase in cotton prices supports textile enterprises to raise yarn prices [8]. - Trading Strategy: It is recommended to buy on dips and mainly adopt the strategy of buying in the range of 13,500 - 13,800 yuan/ton [8]. Eggs - Market Performance: Egg futures prices rebounded, and egg spot prices were stable [8]. - Fundamentals: The number of laying hens in production decreased, and the number of culled hens was at a high level, so the supply pressure decreased. Egg prices dropped to a low level, and traders' willingness to stock up increased, driving sales to pick up. However, the inventory in the circulation link increased. The stock - up demand has driven egg prices to be strong in the short - term, but the sustainability is expected to be limited [8]. - Trading Strategy: The stock - up demand boosts egg prices, and futures prices are expected to oscillate [8]. Pigs - Market Performance: Pig futures prices rebounded, while pig spot prices continued to decline [8]. - Fundamentals: The supply of pigs is still abundant. The demand is expected to increase seasonally, and the supply - demand pressure has eased compared with the previous period. However, as the Winter Solstice approaches, there may be a wave of
