Group 1: Report General Information - The report is a daily report on non - ferrous metals dated October 21, 2025, focusing on various non - ferrous metals including copper, alumina, electrolytic aluminum, etc. [2] Group 2: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 3: Core Views - **Copper**: Macroeconomically, Sino - US trade relations ease, and the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee is being watched. Fundamentally, copper mine supply disturbances increase. SMM expects a decrease in electrolytic copper production in October. Consumption shows "peak season without peak". The recommended trading strategies are long on dips, continue to hold inter - market positive spreads, and wait on options [2][4][5]. - **Alumina**: The supply - demand surplus will become more significant after downstream electrolytic aluminum plants complete their stockpiling. Some small - scale production cuts and maintenance have started, and more are expected in November. The price is expected to bottom out around 2800 yuan. Strategies include short - term low - level consolidation and waiting on spreads and options [11][12][13]. - **Electrolytic Aluminum**: Macroeconomic factors will drive the price this week. The consumption resilience in the fundamentals provides support. The strategy is to be bullish on dips and cautious on chasing highs [17][18]. - **Cast Aluminum Alloy**: Macroeconomic factors drive the price. High social inventory and warehouse receipts may limit the upside. The price is expected to be strong in the short - term. Strategies include being bullish on dips and waiting on spreads and options [24][25]. - **Zinc**: The import zinc ore loss widens, and domestic processing fees decline. The supply of refined zinc may increase, and consumption may weaken. The price shows an external - strong and internal - weak pattern. Strategies include waiting on all trading types [27][31][33]. - **Lead**: Downstream lead - storage enterprise orders improve, but production may increase in mid - to - late October, and the price may fall.

Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The zinc spot market is difficult to improve, even if the previous absolute price fell below 22,000 yuan/ton, the spot discount has not been repaired. The domestic and foreign trends still deviate, with continuous destocking of overseas inventories, increasing the risk of warehouse receipts, which forms a favorable support for prices. Domestically, consumption shows an obvious transition from the off - season to the peak season, with the downstream operating rate increasing month - on - month, but the domestic supply - side pressure remains. Although the domestic concentrate TC may decline later, the imported concentrate TC continues to rise, so the inventory accumulation expectation remains unchanged. [5] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Important Data - **Spot**: The LME zinc spot premium is $43.16 per ton. The SMM Shanghai zinc spot price decreased by 60 yuan/ton to 21,820 yuan/ton compared with the previous trading day, with a spot premium/discount of - 60 yuan/ton; the SMM Guangdong zinc spot price decreased by 50 yuan/ton to 21,830 yuan/ton, with a spot premium/discount of - 75 yuan/ton; the Tianjin zinc spot price decreased by 60 yuan/ton to 21,820 yuan/ton, with a spot premium/discount of - 60 yuan/ton. [2] - **Futures**: On September 24, 2025, the main SHFE zinc contract opened at 21,895 yuan/ton, closed at 21,860 yuan/ton, down 95 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The trading volume for the whole trading day was 109,733 lots, and the position was 141,867 lots. The highest intraday price reached 21,985 yuan/ton, and the lowest was 21,860 yuan/ton. [3] - **Inventory**: As of September 24, 2025, the total inventory of zinc ingots in seven regions monitored by SMM was 157,000 tons, a decrease of 1,500 tons from the previous period. As of the same date, the LME zinc inventory was 44,400 tons, a decrease of 1,375 tons from the previous trading day. [4] Market Analysis - The expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut has increased again, leading to a general rise in non - ferrous metal prices. However, the zinc spot market is difficult to improve. The domestic and foreign trends deviate, with overseas destocking and increasing warehouse - receipt risks supporting prices. Domestically, consumption is transitioning from the off - season to the peak season, but supply - side pressure remains, and inventory accumulation is still expected. [5] Strategy - **Unilateral**: Neutral. [6] - **Arbitrage**: Neutral. [6]

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Cautiously bearish [5] - Arbitrage: Neutral [5] 2) Core View of the Report - The overall non - ferrous commodities show signs of transitioning from the off - season to the peak season, with prices trending upward. Zinc prices follow this upward trend, but the spot market is weaker, and the spot discount has widened. Despite potential consumption growth, the supply pressure remains, and there is an expectation of inventory accumulation in China. If the peak - season consumption expectation fails, zinc prices will face significant pressure [4]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Important Data - **Spot**: The LME zinc spot premium is -$9.33 per ton. The SMM Shanghai zinc spot price is 22,230 yuan per ton, up 60 yuan from the previous trading day, with a spot premium of -40 yuan per ton. The SMM Guangdong zinc spot price is 22,200 yuan per ton, up 80 yuan, with a premium of -70 yuan per ton. The Tianjin zinc spot price is 22,210 yuan per ton, up 60 yuan, with a premium of -60 yuan per ton [1]. - **Futures**: On August 21, 2025, the main SHFE zinc contract opened at 22,300 yuan per ton, closed at 22,240 yuan per ton, up 30 yuan from the previous trading day. The trading volume was 85,851 lots, and the open interest was 110,426 lots. The intraday high was 22,330 yuan per ton, and the low was 22,230 yuan per ton [2]. - **Inventory**: As of August 21, 2025, the total inventory of zinc ingots in seven regions monitored by SMM was 132,900 tons, a decrease of 2,600 tons from the previous period. The LME zinc inventory was 69,375 tons, a decrease of 1,875 tons from the previous trading day [3]. Market Analysis - **Trend**: Non - ferrous commodities are showing signs of transitioning from the off - season to the peak season, with prices trending upward. Zinc prices follow this upward trend, but the spot market is weaker, and the spot discount has widened [4]. - **Cost**: The imported TC is still rising, and smelters have sufficient raw material inventories, maintaining an upward trend [4]. - **Smelting**: The smelting profit, including by - product revenue, remains above 1,000 yuan per ton, so smelting enthusiasm persists, and the current and expected supply - side pressure remains unchanged [4]. - **Consumption**: Consumption was strong during the off - season and shows signs of transitioning to the peak season. However, even if the peak season is strong, there is still an expectation of inventory accumulation in China, and the social inventory exceeds the historical average. If the peak - season consumption expectation fails, zinc prices will face significant pressure [4]. Strategy - **Unilateral**: Cautiously bearish. Even when other non - ferrous metals are strong, zinc prices are expected to be relatively weak, but the impact of overseas inventories needs to be monitored [5]. - **Arbitrage**: Neutral [5]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core View of the Report - The zinc price is running weakly. The downstream consumption is gradually weakening, and the inventory shipment speed has slowed down due to the large amount of low - price purchases by enterprises in the early stage. The domestic social inventory has rebounded, while the overseas inventory continues to decline. Technically, the short - side is strong at the high position of positions.
