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, with slightly improved supply - demand fundamentals and reduced inventory pressure. The 232 investigation results in June will cause short - term disturbances to copper prices. In the long - term, the long - cycle logic of copper supply - demand contradiction remains unchanged, and the adjustment may provide opportunities for long - term long positions. The main contract is under pressure at 97,000 - 98,000 yuan/ton [1]. Zinc - Zinc is in a cycle of weak supply and demand, and the current contradiction in the zinc industry chain is concentrated between the mining and smelting ends. The smelting cost will support zinc prices. The demand is relatively stable, and there is a possibility of opening up the export space. The zinc price has limited room for further significant decline, and the main contract is supported around 23,000 yuan/ton [5]. Tin - The supply - side tension has been significantly alleviated, and the downstream consumption is gradually recovering. With the improvement of market risk preference, tin prices are expected to be strong in the short - term. It is recommended to buy long positions, and subsequent attention should be paid 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 price has a negative impact. It is expected to oscillate between 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton. It is recommended to wait and see and pay attention to the opportunity of trying long at low prices [10]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon is in a cycle of over - supply, and the price will continue to be under pressure. The price may fall towards the minimum cash cost, and it is recommended to wait and see. If participating, consider trying long after the price stabilizes and pay attention to position control and stop - loss [12]. Aluminum - The alumina industry is in a state of over - capacity, and the price is expected to fluctuate around the industry cost line. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling idea at high prices. The electrolytic aluminum price has strong anti - decline attributes, and the short - term core operating range is expected to be 24,000 - 26,000 yuan/ton [13]. Nickel - The Indonesian policy, macro - expectations, and raw material contradictions support the price, but the slow inventory digestion restricts it. The nickel price is expected to oscillate within the range of 134,000 - 140,000 yuan/ton [14]. Aluminum Alloy - Casting aluminum alloy may present a pattern of weak supply and demand. The price is expected to operate in the range of 23,000 - 24,500 yuan/ton, following the fluctuation of electrolytic aluminum [16]. Stainless Steel - The cost logic of stainless steel is strong, with support from news and raw material shortages. The steel mill production has increased significantly, and the demand is gradually recovering but the terminal acceptance is still weak. It is expected to maintain a strong oscillation in the short - term, with the main contract in the range of 14,200 - 14,800 yuan/ton [18]. Lithium Carbonate - The supply disturbance expectations are repeated, the short - term marginal driving force of the fundamentals is weakened but still has resilience. The price is expected to oscillate widely in the range, and the main contract is expected to be between 153,000 - 160,000 yuan/ton [21]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - The recent trend of non - ferrous metals shows a recovery from a low level, but with the easing of the Iranian situation and the decline in energy prices, non - ferrous metals have also adjusted moderately. There is still long - term demand growth and supply constraints in the non - ferrous metals market. The core concern of investors has shifted from short - term inflation panic caused by soaring energy prices to deep concerns about long - term economic stagnation or recession. The impact of high oil prices on non - ferrous metals may be phased. The main focus of the market in the future will be the assessment and changes of the duration of the geopolitical conflict and the Strait blockade. The change in the Fed's interest rate cut expectation also has an impact on the market [13]. - Different non - ferrous metal varieties have different market logics and trends. For example, copper is expected to recover in the medium - to - long term due to factors such as inflation expectations and the entry of downstream consumption into the peak season; zinc is in a state of shock consolidation; the aluminum industry chain has different trends for different products such as aluminum, alumina, and recycled aluminum alloy; tin is in a state of shock and is recommended to be observed or take a long - biased approach; lead is in a state of shock and can be considered to go long at low prices after the macro - impact weakens; nickel and stainless steel are in a state of adjustment, and can be considered to go long at low prices when the macro - sentiment eases [3][5][6][8][9][10]. 3. Summary by Directory First Part: Non - ferrous Metals Operating Logic and Investment Recommendations - **Macro Logic**: Non - ferrous metals have shown a recovery from a low level, but have adjusted moderately with the easing of the Iranian situation and the decline in energy prices. The market's focus has shifted from short - term inflation panic to concerns about long - term economic stagnation. The impact of high oil prices on non - ferrous metals is phased. The main concerns in the future are the geopolitical conflict and the Fed's interest rate cut expectations [13]. - **Variety - Specific Analysis**: - **Copper**: Powell's dovish statement reduces the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate hike this year, and the rise in gold and silver prices boosts copper prices. However, concerns about the US economic stagflation limit the rebound space of copper. In the medium - to - long term, rising oil prices push up inflation expectations, and copper prices are expected to rise. The supply of copper concentrates is still tight globally, but domestic smelters' production is not significantly restricted. Downstream demand is in the peak season, and the inventory is expected to enter the destocking cycle in April. It is recommended to go long at low prices and use options strategies [3][15]. - **Zinc**: The Iranian geopolitical situation may ease, and energy prices are adjusted. Powell's dovish statement boosts the expectation of an interest rate cut. The import ore TC continues to decline, and the domestic ore TC remains flat. The spot inventory is decreasing, and the downstream starts to show differentiation. It is recommended to go long at low prices and pay attention to the geopolitical situation, inflation expectations, and demand [5][17]. - **Aluminum Industry Chain**: The aluminum production capacity in the Middle East is disturbed, and the strong US dollar suppresses the non - ferrous metal market. It is recommended to buy on dips. Different products in the aluminum industry chain, such as aluminum, alumina, and recycled aluminum alloy, have different price ranges and strategies [6][7][17]. - **Tin**: The Shanghai tin market is in a weak shock under the pressure of the US dollar. It is recommended to observe or take a long - biased approach, pay attention to the capital sentiment, the situation of the ore end, and the macro - environment. Options can be used for protection [8][18]. - **Lead**: The geopolitical situation is repeated, and energy prices fall. The supply of primary and secondary lead increases, and the downstream demand is weak. The inventory shows a slight decrease. It is recommended to go long at low prices after the macro - impact weakens and pay attention to the demand recovery and inventory changes [9][18]. - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: The Iranian geopolitical situation may ease, and energy prices are adjusted. Powell's dovish statement boosts the expectation of an interest rate cut. The implementation of Indonesia's nickel windfall tax and export tax is delayed. The supply of nickel ore is strong, and the demand is weak. Stainless steel is in a state of adjustment, and it is recommended to go long at low prices when the macro - sentiment eases [10][18][19].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bullish. - Arbitrage: Neutral. [5] 2. Core View - The Middle East crisis shows signs of easing, with a significant decline in crude oil prices. Coupled with the domestic de - stocking trend, zinc prices are rebounding. Overseas mine disturbances are expected to increase, and the mine end strongly supports zinc prices. The smelter's profit is maintained, and the domestic demand for zinc ore remains high. The downstream consumption is continuously recovering, and the inflection point of zinc ingot social inventory has appeared. If the Middle East crisis eases later, the upward elasticity of zinc prices is still worth looking forward to, and the long - term outlook for both mine supply and downstream consumption remains optimistic. [4] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Important Data - **Spot**: The LME zinc spot premium is -$0.68 per ton. The SMM Shanghai zinc spot price increased by 10 yuan/ton to 23,430 yuan/ton, with a spot premium of -55 yuan/ton; the SMM Guangdong zinc spot price increased by 10 yuan/ton to 23,500 yuan/ton, with a spot premium of -35 yuan/ton; the Tianjin zinc spot price increased by 10 yuan/ton to 23,400 yuan/ton, with a spot premium of -85 yuan/ton.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report maintains a bullish view on copper in the medium - term, despite short - term downward pressure from inventory and geopolitical factors. It believes copper has demand growth and supply constraints in the current market environment [1]. - Aluminum is expected to have relative advantages among non - ferrous metals. Supply - side factors may drive short - term trading, and the fundamentals are improving [1]. - Zinc has a general domestic fundamental situation, but there are potential risks of production cuts overseas due to long - term capital investment limitations and supply disruptions [2]. - Nickel is expected to trade in a range, with a weak short - term reality but potential supply - side support from policy interventions [3][4]. - Stainless steel is expected to follow nickel's trend and trade in a range, with a generally weak fundamental situation [7]. - Lead is expected to maintain a weak and volatile trend, influenced by overseas inventory and recycling profit support [8][9]. - Tin's price is highly affected by global macro - liquidity. If liquidity is loose, it has strong upward potential; if liquidity tightens, it may decline [12]. - Industrial silicon's price is expected to fluctuate with costs in the short - term and oscillate at the cycle bottom in the long - term due to over - capacity [15]. - For lithium carbonate, the short - term price is macro - driven, and there is a high probability of spot shortages in the second quarter, but the upside space needs further factors to open up [17]. 3. Summary by Metal Copper - **Price and Inventory**: Copper prices rebounded to the 95,000 - 96,000 RMB range this week. The domestic scrap copper supply is expected to remain tight, which may lead to further depletion of refined copper inventory. The LME inventory decreased by 175 tons, and the LME注销仓单 increased by 350 tons from March 25 to March 31 [1]. - **Demand and Outlook**: High - end demand for refined copper has been strong after the Spring Festival. Although Goldman Sachs has significantly lowered the consumption growth rate of domestic electrolytic copper in 2026, the report believes the substitution of aluminum for copper is debatable. The report maintains a bullish view on copper in the medium - term and suggests paying attention to the support around 96,000 RMB next week [1]. Aluminum - **Price and Inventory**: Aluminum prices increased by 80 RMB from March 25 to March 31. The overseas premium increased, the visible inventory decreased, the domestic aluminum ingot inventory changed from increasing to decreasing, and the aluminum rod processing fee rebounded [1]. - **Supply and Outlook**: The production capacity of aluminum plants in the UAE and Bahrain was affected, leading to a further decline in the global electrolytic aluminum production growth rate. Supply - side trading is expected to become the main focus in the short - term, and the export processing of aluminum plants is expected to be more prosperous [1]. Zinc - **Price and Inventory**: Zinc prices increased slightly, and the inventory remained stable. The import profit of zinc decreased, and the LME zinc inventory decreased by 775 tons from March 25 to March 31 [2]. - **Supply and Demand**: The medium - term supply of zinc ore is expected to be tight. The domestic fundamental situation is general, but there are potential risks of production cuts overseas [2]. Nickel - **Price and Inventory**: Nickel prices decreased. The domestic inventory continued to accumulate, and the LME inventory decreased slightly. The spot and futures import earnings fluctuated [3]. - **Supply and Demand**: The production of pure nickel decreased in February. The demand is mainly for rigid needs. The market is expected to trade in a range due to the weak fundamental situation and potential supply - side policy support [3][4]. Stainless Steel - **Price and Inventory**: The prices of stainless steel products remained stable. The inventory decreased slightly, and the warehouse receipts decreased slightly [7]. - **Supply and Demand**: The steel mill production decreased slightly. The downstream demand is gradually recovering. It is expected to trade in a range following the nickel price [7].

The domestic processing fee has a slight upward trend. The LME inventory increased by 35 tons from March 25 to March 31 [12]. - **Supply and Demand**: The supply is expected to recover in the second quarter, but there are supply - side risks. The demand is relatively stable, and the price is highly affected by global macro - liquidity [12]. Industrial Silicon - **Price and Inventory**: The basis of industrial silicon changed, and the warehouse receipts increased. The supply and demand are close to balance, and the price is expected to fluctuate with costs [13][15]. - **Supply and Outlook**: The overall operation rate of factories in the north and south has little change. In the long - term, the price is expected to oscillate at the cycle bottom due to over - capacity [15]. Lithium Carbonate - **Price and Inventory**: The lithium carbonate price increased first and then decreased. The basis and warehouse receipts changed significantly. The spot trading volume decreased this week [17]. - **Supply and Demand**: The raw material supply is tight, and the lithium salt enterprises are holding prices. The downstream procurement is at a low level. There is a high probability of spot shortages in the second quarter, but the upside space needs further factors to open up [17].
