1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Zinc: Volatile [5] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, zinc downstream exports still have resilience, but may face pressure in the medium - term. Most manufacturers are cautiously optimistic about the future market. It is necessary to monitor whether regions like Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Australia can fill the demand gap after the shrinkage of Middle - East orders due to geopolitical disturbances and the release of postponed demand from last year's policy. In the long - term, the cash - flow of companies exporting to the Middle East may face pressure in the second quarter, and anti - dumping measures will affect export orders in the medium - to - long term. Overall, the possibility of weak or pressured export demand is increasing. [3][35] - In terms of trading strategies, for single - side trading, manage positions well in the short - term and focus on buying opportunities during corrections in the medium - term. For arbitrage trading, adopt a wait - and - see approach for monthly spreads and maintain a long domestic - short overseas positive arbitrage strategy in the medium - term. [3][38] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1. Research Objects - The research was conducted on galvanizing and zinc oxide enterprises in Weifang and Zibo, Shandong. These enterprises are large - to - medium - sized, with annual galvanized product output of 20 - 290 million tons and annual zinc oxide production capacity of 3 - 10 million tons, comprehensively reflecting the current demand evolution pattern. [12] 3.2. Core Research Conclusions and Analysis - Galvanized and color - coated exports are mainly for civil construction, and overseas requirements for zinc coating thickness are becoming stricter. Overseas markets mainly use zinc products for civil construction, and many countries have set requirements for zinc coating thickness. In contrast, domestic zinc coating thickness is generally lower. Export galvanized products have maintained high - speed growth in the past five years, and the actual zinc consumption per unit may have increased. [17][18] - Orders for large, medium, and small factories are differentiated, and raw material inventories are generally low. Medium - and large - sized enterprises maintain full production with stable orders, while some export - oriented enterprises have over one - month order backlogs but with year - on - year differences. Some orders postponed from last year were released in Q1 2026. Manufacturers are cautious about Q2 demand, and raw material inventories are low, indicating potential upward pressure on zinc and black metal prices. [20] - The probability of export shocks is increasing, with dual pressures from geopolitical conflicts and anti - dumping. The US - Iran conflict has negatively affected exports to the Middle East, with difficulties in customer communication, delayed shipments, and inventory backlogs. Rising freight costs and anti - dumping measures have also impacted exports. However, export orders to Europe, the US, Japan, and South Korea have increased recently. [24][25] - The zinc oxide industry is facing intensified competition, and it is difficult to find a blue ocean overseas. The industry suffers from raw material shortages, thin profits, and is highly affected by zinc price fluctuations, forcing enterprises to expand overseas. But overseas markets are also competitive, with only Indonesia having some room. The domestic capacity expansion willingness is low, and if the raw material shortage persists, the industry will face reshuffling. [28][32] 3.3. Summary and Outlook - In the short - term, zinc downstream exports can maintain some resilience, but medium - term pressure signals are emerging. The cash - flow of companies exporting to the Middle East may face slight pressure in the next quarter, and anti - dumping measures will affect export orders in the medium - to - long term. It is necessary to monitor whether overseas markets can accept price increases due to policies. [35] - Fundamentally, short - term domestic processing fees are rising seasonally, while import processing fees are under pressure. The supply of zinc concentrate remains tight. On the demand side, domestic social inventories have accumulated seasonally, and downstream resumption of work is slow, while overseas inventories are gradually decreasing. [36] - In terms of trading, zinc may enter a volatile adjustment period in the short - term. In the medium - term, it is recommended to buy on dips as geopolitical situations may strengthen the resource attribute of zinc concentrate. [38] 3.4. Research Minutes 3.4.1.

Core Viewpoint - The recent extension of the "reciprocal tariffs" by the Trump administration has created a negative sentiment in the non-ferrous metals market, with concerns about trade negotiations and their potential impact on global economic growth and commodity demand [2][4]. Group 1: Market Sentiment and Economic Indicators - The overall sentiment in the non-ferrous metals sector is declining, influenced by macroeconomic factors and the recent tariff threats from the Trump administration [2][4]. - The U.S. non-farm payroll data for June exceeded expectations, indicating a strong labor market, which has led to a rebound in the U.S. dollar index and suppressed risk asset prices [3]. - The market is currently entering a demand off-season, with a noticeable decline in demand for photovoltaic components and household appliances, leading to an accumulation of social inventory for various non-ferrous metals [3][5]. Group 2: Tariff Policy and Trade Negotiations - Trump's tariff threats are affecting non-ferrous metal prices through increased market pessimism and heightened risk aversion [4]. - The ongoing tariff negotiations between the U.S. and its trade partners are critical, as failure to reach agreements could significantly impact exports from related countries and regions [2][4]. - Analysts suggest that the market should closely monitor the economic recovery of major economies, particularly the U.S. and China, as this will influence demand for non-ferrous metals [4][5]. Group 3: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The demand for copper and aluminum is expected to decline as they enter the off-season, with social inventory gradually increasing [3]. - Different non-ferrous metals exhibit varying fundamentals; for instance, zinc prices are pressured by rising processing fees and recovering production, while copper production is declining due to lower processing fees and disruptions in overseas smelting [5]. - The second half of the year may see structural changes in domestic consumption, with potential support from infrastructure investments, despite a slowdown in certain sectors like real estate and household appliances [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating [1] Core Viewpoints - For lead, although downstream has not entered the peak season and there is still a risk of inventory accumulation, the continuous shortage of waste batteries, increased losses of secondary lead smelters, and high uncertainty in production start-up provide strong support for lead prices. Future attention should be paid to the improvement of demand and macro uncertainties [1] - For zinc, recent macro sentiment has improved, and downstream spot trading has improved after the zinc price decline. However, considering supply-side suppression and inventory accumulation expectations, the rebound space of zinc prices may be limited, and a short position strategy is still recommended [1] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Lead - **Price and Market Indicators**: On June 16, 2025, the average price of SMM 1 lead ingots was 16,775 yuan/ton, up 0.45%; the closing price of the futures main contract was 16,945 yuan/ton, up 0.33%; the Shanghai lead basis was -170 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan; the LME 3-month lead futures closing price (electronic trading) was 1,992.50 US dollars/ton, up 0.03%; the Shanghai-London lead price ratio was 8.50, up 0.30% [1] - **Industry Data**: From June 7 to June 13, the weekly operating rate of SMM primary lead enterprises was 70.79%, a week-on-week increase of 0.33 percentage points; the weekly operating rate of secondary lead enterprises was 32.1%, a week-on-week decrease of 4.1 percentage points; the weekly operating rate of lead battery enterprises was 72.19%, a week-on-week increase of 11.8 percentage points.
