Report Industry Investment Ratings - Copper: ★★★ (indicating a clearer upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity currently) [1] - Aluminum: No clear star rating indication, presumably a state where the short - term trend is relatively balanced and the operability of the current market is poor, with a wait - and - see attitude (represented by white stars according to the star description) [1] - Alumina: No clear star rating indication, presumably a state where the short - term trend is relatively balanced and the operability of the current market is poor, with a wait - and - see attitude (represented by white stars according to the star description) [1] - Casting Aluminum Alloy: No clear star rating indication, presumably a state where the short - term trend is relatively balanced and the operability of the current market is poor, with a wait - and - see attitude (represented by white stars according to the star description) [1] - Zinc: No clear star rating indication, presumably a state where the short - term trend is relatively balanced and the operability of the current market is poor, with a wait - and - see attitude (represented by white stars according to the star description) [1] - Nickel and Stainless Steel: ★☆☆ (indicating a bullish bias, with a driving force for an upward trend, but the operability of the market is not strong) [1] - Tin: ★☆☆ (indicating a bullish bias, with a driving force for an upward trend, but the operability of the market is not strong) [1] - Lithium Carbonate: No clear star rating indication, presumably a state where the short - term trend is relatively balanced and the operability of the current market is poor, with a wait - and - see attitude (represented by white stars according to the star description) [1] - Industrial Silicon: No clear star rating indication, presumably a state where the short - term trend is relatively balanced and the operability of the current market is poor, with a wait - and - see attitude (represented by white stars according to the star description) [1] - Polysilicon: No clear star rating indication, presumably a state where the short - term trend is relatively balanced and the operability of the current market is poor, with a wait - and - see attitude (represented by white stars according to the star description) [1] Core Views - The overall situation of the non - ferrous metals market is complex, with different metals showing different trends and characteristics. Factors such as macro - economic environment, supply - demand relationship, and geopolitical situation all have an impact on metal prices [2][3][4] Summary by Metal Copper - On Thursday, Shanghai copper fluctuated and returned to 77,000 yuan. The current copper price was 76,440 yuan, and the flat - water copper was slightly at a discount of 85 yuan. SMM social inventory increased by 200 tons to 219,600 tons. The Fed's Beige Book showed that inflation continued to slow down, strengthening the expectation of a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut by the Fed next time. Short - term Shanghai copper may open a downward fluctuation range, and a small number of short positions can be held with 78,000 yuan as the backstop [2] Aluminum & Alumina - Shanghai aluminum was running strongly. The domestic operating capacity has been slowly rising recently. Consumption performance is good but has not continued to strengthen month - on - month, making it difficult to achieve deep de - stocking. The supply - demand contradiction of electrolytic aluminum is limited, mainly driven by macro - sentiment and cost increase. In the short term, it may continue to fluctuate strongly under the drive of alumina. The fundamentals of alumina have strong support, with extremely low industry inventory and continuous de - stocking, and the tight supply situation is difficult to change. The spot index in various places continued to be raised by about 40 yuan today, and the transaction price exceeded 5,000 yuan. Before the spot stabilizes, the futures are still easy to rise and difficult to fall, with upward space [3] Zinc - The net long position of LME zinc investment funds continued to increase, and the external market strongly broke through the previous high, further opening up the upward space. The LME zinc 0 - 3 month premium increased significantly to $58/ton, and the LME zinc spot import loss exceeded $2,000/ton. SMM zinc social inventory was flat week - on - week at 125,900 tons. The inventory accumulation after the National Day has ended, and the zinc warehouse receipts of the Shanghai Futures Exchange have dropped to 28,000 tons. The weighted position of Shanghai zinc increased by 49,000 lots to 276,000 lots in a single day, with a net capital inflow of over 1.3 billion yuan. The position of the near - month contract further climbed to 70,000 lots, and the risk of cornering has increased sharply. The Century zinc mine in Australia has been suspended until mid - November, and overseas smelters have unexpectedly cut production. The domestic smelter output has remained at a low level. The US plan to partially revoke the anti - dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese photovoltaic cells may drive certain restocking demand. The funds for domestic real estate and infrastructure projects have improved, and it is difficult to make a bearish judgment on the consumption side under the market's expectation of fiscal stimulus. Bulls rushed to enter the market, and it is very likely that Shanghai zinc will break through the previous high and further explore upward. Given that the peak season is coming to an end, the sustainability of the market remains to be observed, and the rhythm of capital leaving at high levels should be closely tracked [4] Aluminum - The spot import profit still exceeded 600 yuan/ton, and the overseas surplus pressure was transmitted to the domestic market. The Shanghai aluminum price remained stable at a low level during the day. After the losses of secondary aluminum smelters, the resistance to production cuts increased, and there was not much available floating supply in the spot market. The SMM refined - scrap price was flat, and the prices of primary and secondary lead in some areas were inverted, with the cost - side support strengthening. The downstream start - up has recovered, and the restocking on dips has picked up. There is not much room for aluminum to fall further. Focus on tracking the dynamics of smelters, and it is expected to fluctuate in the range of 16,200 - 17,000 yuan/ton for the time being. Try to go long with a light position on dips [6] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel fluctuated, market trading declined, and positions slowly recovered. The strong US dollar exerted overall pressure on the market. The demand for stainless steel in the peak season was lower than expected, and downstream only replenished inventory for rigid needs, with light trading. Due to macro - uncertainty, the futures fluctuated weakly and were difficult to drive the spot. Although the social inventory decreased slightly, it was still at a high level, and de - stocking was slow; steel mills maintained high production schedules, with great supply pressure. The premium of Jinchuan nickel was 6,550 yuan, the discount of imported nickel was 150 yuan, and the premium of electrowon nickel was 50 yuan. The price of high - nickel pig iron dropped by nearly 10 yuan per unit, closing at 1,086.5 yuan/unit. The rebound of upstream prices continued to drive up the prices of the middle reaches and formed cost support. In the short term, it is still dominated by policy sentiment. Nickel and stainless steel have high inventories, and attention should be paid to further changes in Indonesian policies. Overall, it tends to fluctuate weakly [7] Tin - Shanghai tin closed with a negative candle with a reduction in positions, and trading was between the short - term moving averages. The SMM spot tin price was reported at 352,800 yuan, basically at par with the delivery - month tin price. The uncertainty of the Middle East situation is still high, and there is a large gap in the negotiation directions of both sides. The supply of tin's own fundamentals is stable. The tin export volume of Indonesia in February was the same as that of the same month last year, and the import of tin concentrates in China in the first two months increased significantly year - on - year. In terms of expectations, the war situation has affected the trading premium of global computing power facilities. The middle and lower reaches purchase rigidly at appropriate times, and the 2605 options can appropriately focus on the direction of selling out - of - the - money put options [8] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate fluctuated strongly, and market trading was active. The overall de - stocking speed of the market has slowed down, and the change in inventory structure is worthy of attention. The decline in smelter inventory has slowed down, and the confidence of traders in holding goods has wavered, and they have begun to sell goods to downstream. From the perspective of production, the production of lithium carbonate returned to a high level at the beginning of March, and the weekly production has continuously reached new highs, waiting for the inventory inflection point to appear. The latest quotation of Australian ore is $2,045, and the ore - end quotation has loosened. Technically, the lithium market is resistant to decline, with a range - bound thinking [9] Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon futures closed slightly higher, and the spot price in East China remained stable compared with yesterday. On the supply side, the leading enterprises in Xinjiang have no new production plans, and there are no signs of large - scale resumption of production in Yunnan and Sichuan. The overall supply remains stable. On the demand side, polysilicon is still in the stage of active de - stocking, and the continuous decline in prices has highlighted the cost pressure on enterprises, resulting in weak procurement demand for industrial silicon raw materials. Currently, the market presents a situation of weak supply and demand, and the social inventory is still at a high level. It is expected that the silicon price will fluctuate in the short term [10] Polysilicon - The polysilicon price weakened again, and the average price of SMM N - type dense material at 39,000 yuan/ton remained stable for the time being. The weekly inventory decreased slightly, and enterprise shipments increased, but it is still in the active de - stocking cycle, and the price bottom is unknown. The production schedule of the downstream component end is at a low level year - on - year, and the inventory has increased. The domestic installation demand is weak, and the cancellation of export tax rebates has further weakened the overseas support. The continuous losses of components have led to a low willingness to purchase raw materials, and the fundamentals are clearly weak. The estimated price of 35,000 yuan/ton on the disk has reached the lower limit of the cash cost of second - tier enterprises. It may fluctuate and adjust in the short term, and there is still downward pressure in the medium term [11]

The market is evaluating the Middle - East war risks and liquidity constraints. The spot price is 92,820 yuan. The price decline led to intensive downstream point - pricing. The strong support for copper price is at 91,000 yuan, and the MA40 weekly moving average also needs attention [2]. Aluminum, Alumina, and Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum futures fluctuated. The spot discounts in East, Central, and South China were 150 yuan, 180 yuan, and 175 yuan respectively. The inventory decreased slightly. Aluminum may remain weak until the war eases. Cast aluminum alloy's spread with Shanghai aluminum narrowed. Domestic alumina's over - supply improved slightly but may face more supply in the future and may oscillate strongly waiting for Guinea's policy [3]. Zinc - Low zinc prices stimulated downstream replenishment. The SMM zinc social inventory decreased by 21,000 tons to 255,200 tons. The price may test the smelter's cost line. It is expected to stop falling at 22,000 - 22,500 yuan/ton, and further decline needs a significant increase in TC [4]. Aluminum (Second Part) - Low aluminum prices increased downstream replenishment. The SMM aluminum social inventory decreased by 14,900 tons to 63,100 tons. The domestic aluminum market is in a situation of both supply and demand increase. The cost support is prominent, and the key support is at 16,200 yuan/ton [6]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel futures weakened. The market is worried about the Fed's liquidity control. The upstream price increase supported the mid - stream. The market is mainly dominated by policy sentiment, and it is expected to be in a weak oscillation waiting for Indonesia's policy changes [7]. Tin - Shanghai tin futures decreased with reduced positions. The SMM spot tin price dropped to 341,450 yuan. The social inventory decreased by 2,380 tons to 10,977 tons. Tin price may fall towards 300,000 yuan due to sufficient supply [8]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate futures oscillated. The total inventory decreased by 100 tons to 99,000 tons. The production has recovered to a high level. The market is expected to be in an oscillating pattern [9]. Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon futures oscillated. The supply increase is limited in March - April. Downstream demand is weak, and the inventory increased slightly. The market is expected to be in a weak oscillation [10]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon futures dropped sharply by over 8%. High inventory and macro - factors led to a bearish market. The strategy is to be bearish, and it is recommended to gradually take profits when the price is below 35,000 yuan/ton [11]

The downstream production is improving, but the overall inventory decline rate slows down, and the futures price is weakening [5]. - The polysilicon market is affected by weak macro - sentiment and fundamentals. After the export tax - rebate policy is cancelled, the export growth is under pressure, and the market is expected to remain weak [5]. - The industrial silicon market is in a weak and volatile pattern, with supply - side开工率 changes and high inventory in the demand side [6]. Summary by Related Catalogs Copper - Friday, Shanghai copper showed a position - reducing yang - line oscillation, and the price fell back below 95,000 at the end of the session. The market is evaluating the war - situation risks and reflecting the liquidity constraints under potential inflation. The domestic spot copper buying interest provides support, and it is expected that the domestic visible inventory will continue to decline [1]. Aluminum - The aluminum price opened low and fluctuated sharply. The domestic aluminum ingot and aluminum rod social inventory reached a new high in recent years. There are shortage concerns overseas, and enterprises are trying to carry out aluminum product logistics through ports in Oman and Saudi Arabia. The high - oil price puts pressure on non - ferrous metals. The Shanghai aluminum price found support at the February low of 23,000 yuan, and the violent fluctuation is hard to end. The casting aluminum alloy price follows the aluminum price, and the price difference between casting aluminum alloy and Shanghai aluminum remains above 1,000 yuan under geopolitical risks. The domestic alumina operating capacity has stabilized at around 94 million tons, and the oversupply situation has improved [2]. - The LME aluminum inventory is at a high level, the import window is open, and the overseas surplus pressure is transmitted to the domestic market. The Shanghai aluminum price rebounds, and the SMM 1 aluminum has a discount of 180 yuan/ton to the near - month contract. The low - cost advantage of primary aluminum suppresses the price. With the inclusion of recycled aluminum in delivery, the Shanghai aluminum price is moving towards a dual - pricing system for primary and recycled aluminum, and the price center is under pressure. The price fluctuation may increase, and attention should be paid to the options expiration opportunities [4]. Zinc - The SMM 0 zinc is quoted at a discount of 95 yuan/ton to the near - month contract. The zinc price breaks through the support level and is expected to continue to reduce prices to destock before stabilizing. The zinc concentrate inventory of smelters has increased, and the domestic ore TC has rebounded first. Due to concerns about the tightening of macro - liquidity, the lower support for Shanghai zinc is the smelter cost. The annual surplus expectation remains unchanged, and the general strategy is to short on rebounds [2]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - The Shanghai nickel price is weak, and the market trading is active. The market is worried about the Fed's liquidity control, and the strong US dollar puts pressure on the market. The Jinchuan spot price is resistant to decline, and the price of high - nickel pig iron with a grade of 10 - 12% increases by 3 yuan per nickel point, reaching 1,095 yuan per nickel point. The upstream price rebound supports the mid - stream price. The short - term is dominated by policy sentiment. The pure nickel inventory increases by 3,000 tons to 87,500 tons, and the stainless - steel inventory decreases by 20,000 tons to 998,000 tons. Attention should be paid to further changes in Indonesian policies, and the overall trend is weak and volatile [4]. Tin - The Shanghai tin price has a position - reducing intraday oscillation, and the price trades between 310,000 and 350,000 yuan on the weekly average line. The market sentiment is centered around the risk of the intensification of the Middle East war situation. Price declines attract spot buyers, and it is expected that the social inventory will decline this week. In the medium - term, the strength of demand and supply needs to be measured [4]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate price oscillates and declines, and the market trading volume decreases. The macro - environment is trading on the decline of interest - rate cut expectations and risk appetite. The downstream production is improving, and iron - lithium enterprises are still actively producing. The total market inventory decreases by 400 tons to 99,000 tons, and the overall inventory decline rate slows down. The inventory structure change is worthy of attention, as the inventory decline of smelters slows down and traders' confidence in hoarding weakens and they start to sell to downstream. In terms of production, the lithium carbonate production in early March has returned to a high level, and the weekly production has reached a new high. The lithium carbonate futures price is weakening [5]. Polysilicon - The polysilicon price continues to be weak after breaking through the key support level, mainly dragged down by weak macro - sentiment and fundamentals. The export tax - rebate policy is cancelled from April 1st, and the export growth is under pressure, and the demand expectation for polysilicon raw materials is weakening. According to SMM, the weekly polysilicon inventory decreases slightly to 347,000 tons, but the inventory inflection point is not clear. The downstream enterprise operating rate remains low, the market is pessimistic about the future, and there is no obvious intention to stock up. The average price of N - type dense material is 42,000 yuan/ton, remaining stable compared with yesterday, and the futures price is expected to remain weak [5]. Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon futures price rebounds slightly, and the spot silicon price remains stable compared with yesterday. On the supply side, the weekly operating rate in Xinjiang is flat, the operating rate in Yunnan continues to decline, and the operating rates in other north - western production areas also decline slightly. On the demand side, the inventory of polysilicon factories is at a historical high, the spot price drops significantly, the weekly production is flat, and the demand for industrial silicon procurement is weak. The SMM industrial silicon social inventory is reported at 553,000 tons, increasing by 1,000 tons week - on - week, and the factory inventory in Xinjiang also accumulates slightly. Overall, the market is expected to remain in a weak and volatile pattern [6].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, especially the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, is the key factor affecting the prices of various commodities, including oil, metals, and chemicals.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Copper: ★★★, indicating a clearer upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Aluminum: ☆☆☆, suggesting a short - term balanced state with poor operability and a wait - and - see approach [1] - Alumina: ☆☆☆, similar to aluminum, a short - term balanced state [1] - Cast Aluminum Alloy: ☆☆☆, short - term balanced state [1] - Zinc: ☆☆☆, short - term balanced state [1] - Nickel and Stainless Steel: ★★★, a clearer upward trend and investment opportunity [1] - Tin: ☆☆☆, short - term balanced state [1] - Lithium Carbonate: ☆☆☆, short - term balanced state [1] - Industrial Silicon: ☆☆☆, short - term balanced state [1] - Polysilicon: ★★★, a clearer upward trend and investment opportunity [1] Core Viewpoints - The investment opportunities and trends of various non - ferrous metals are affected by multiple factors such as market supply and demand, geopolitical risks, and macro - economic policies. Each metal has its own unique market situation and price movement characteristics [1][2][3] Summary by Related Catalogs Copper - On Wednesday, Shanghai copper's open interest increased and the price dropped to 98,000, with a slight rebound at the end. The market focuses on high global copper inventory and domestic consumption. The current trading sentiment is mainly affected by the war situation. The SMM copper price is 98,990 yuan, with a Shanghai copper discount of 90 yuan and a Guangdong discount narrowing to 5 yuan/ton. Technically, pay attention to the resistance in the dense moving average area. Although the price decline is supported by spot buying interest, the uncertain war situation and high inventory may lead Shanghai copper to seek support at 98,000 or even the weekly line position [1] Aluminum & Alumina & Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum declined today, with spot discounts in East, Central, and South China expanding. The total social inventory of domestic aluminum ingots and bars reached 1.72 million tons, the highest in recent years. Overseas low inventory and production cuts in Qatar and Bahrain intensify supply concerns. Aluminum prices fluctuate sharply at historical highs. Cast aluminum alloy prices follow aluminum prices, and the price difference with Shanghai aluminum remains above 1,000 yuan under geopolitical risks. The domestic alumina operating capacity stabilizes around 94 million tons after a decline, and the oversupply situation improves. The short - term market is affected by Guinea's mineral control policy, and the actual impact on mining and exports needs further attention [2] Zinc - The SMM 0 zinc price has a discount of 95 yuan/ton to the near - month contract. After the price breaks through the support, it seeks support at the 23,000 integer level. Domestic zinc ingots need to reduce prices to destock before the price can stabilize. The zinc concentrate inventory of smelters has increased, and the domestic ore TC has rebounded. Due to concerns about the tightening of macro - liquidity, zinc prices are under pressure. The de - stocking rhythm in the peak season needs to be continuously tracked, and the annual oversupply expectation remains unchanged, with a general direction of short - selling on rebounds [3] Aluminum - The LME aluminum inventory is at a high level, and the import window is continuously open, with overseas oversupply pressure being transmitted to the domestic market. Shanghai aluminum rebounds, with the SMM 1 aluminum having a discount of 180 yuan/ton to the near - month contract and a scrap - to - primary aluminum price difference of 25 yuan/ton. The low - cost advantage of primary aluminum still suppresses the price. With recycled aluminum included in delivery, Shanghai aluminum moves towards a dual - pricing system of primary and recycled aluminum, and the price center of the futures contract is under pressure. The market is in a multi - and short - term game, and the price may fluctuate more during the process of finding a new price anchor. Pay attention to the opportunities of the end - of - cycle options [5] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel fluctuates in a narrow range with active trading. The market is worried about the Fed's liquidity control, and the strong US dollar exerts overall pressure on the market. The US dollar is at a one - year high with strong momentum. The spot price of Jinchuan nickel drops, and the price of high - nickel pig iron with a grade of 10 - 12% increases by 3 yuan per point, reaching 1,095 yuan per point. The upstream price rebound drives the mid - stream price up and provides cost support. In the short term, it is mainly driven by policy sentiment. The pure nickel inventory increases by 3,000 tons to 87,500 tons, and the stainless steel inventory decreases by 20,000 tons to 998,000 tons. Pay attention to further changes in Indonesia's policy, and the overall trend is weak and volatile [6] Tin - Shanghai tin fluctuates and closes down. The domestic spot tin price drops to 369,500 yuan, and the spot price has a significant premium over the 2604 contract after the contract month change. The domestic and foreign tin prices are under pressure at the MA60 moving average. The domestic spot is in the direction of export, waiting for the specific import data of tin resources in the previous two months. It is expected that the tin price may continue to oscillate weakly towards 350,000 yuan [7] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices decline under pressure, and market trading volume decreases. The macro - environment is trading on the decline of interest - rate cut expectations and risk appetite. The downstream production situation is good, and iron - lithium enterprises are still actively producing. The total market inventory decreases by 400 tons to 99,000 tons, and the overall de - stocking speed slows down. The change in inventory structure is notable, with the decline of smelter inventory slowing down and traders' confidence in stockpiling weakening, leading to selling to downstream. In terms of production, the lithium carbonate production in early March has returned to a high level, and the weekly production has reached a new high. The lithium carbonate futures price oscillates, and the fundamentals are stronger than expected. Consider going long on the near - month spread [8] Industrial Silicon - The decline of industrial silicon futures further expands. On the supply side, the weekly supply slightly rebounds. The production in the Southwest region is low, while the restart of leading enterprises in Xinjiang speeds up, and the operation in the Northwest main production area remains stable. On the demand side, the operation rate of silicone slightly rebounds, but downstream procurement is cautious, and price support is weak. The polysilicon market continues to weaken, the operation rate of small and medium - sized manufacturers declines, and the willingness to purchase raw materials is insufficient. The cost advantage caused by the previous geopolitical conflict gradually fades, and the market returns to fundamental - driven. It is expected that the industrial silicon price will maintain a weak and oscillating trend [9] Polysilicon - The spot price of polysilicon drops significantly, and the market is pessimistic. In March, the resumption of work of some small and medium - sized enterprises is postponed due to the weak market. As the "export rush" window for downstream approaches, the support from battery orders weakens, and the price is under pressure. The silicon wafer segment also weakens. According to SMM data, the inventory of polysilicon enterprises reaches 357,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 9,000 tons, at a stage high. Overall, the previous policy expectations have gradually declined, and the market returns to a weak fundamental pattern. In the short term, polysilicon futures will continue to operate weakly. Continuously track the stocking sentiment in the silicon wafer segment, and pay attention to the support around 40,000 yuan/ton on the futures contract [10]

Different metals have different price trends and investment opportunities [2][3][4] Summary by Metal Copper - On Tuesday, the Shanghai copper contract's position shifted to the 2605 contract at the end of the session, and the price turned down. After the contract change, the domestic spot copper was reported at 100,220 yuan, with discounts in Shanghai and Guangdong. Technically, attention should be paid to the performance in the dense moving - average area. The Fed is likely to "stand pat" this week, and the core of the market is the war situation. The decline in copper prices is supported by spot buying interest, but the uncertain war situation and high visible inventory may lead Shanghai copper to seek support at 98,000 yuan or even lower. The intensity of the shift of market speculation sentiment to risk - aversion is worthy of attention [2] Aluminum and Alumina - Shanghai aluminum fluctuated, and the spot discounts in East China, Central China, and South China widened. The total social inventory of domestic aluminum ingots and aluminum rods reached 1.72 million tons, the highest in recent years. However, production cuts in Qatar and Bahrain under the background of low overseas inventory intensified supply concerns. Aluminum prices fluctuated sharply at historical highs, and the previous high level was a resistance. The cast - aluminum - alloy market was mediocre, and the price continued to fluctuate with aluminum prices. The domestic alumina operating capacity stabilized at around 94 million tons after a decline, and the oversupply situation improved. The index in various regions rose by 10 - 20 yuan today. The short - term market is affected by the expected mineral - restriction policy in Guinea [3] Zinc - Domestic zinc ingots need to reduce prices to destock before price stabilization can be seen. The zinc - concentrate inventory of smelters has rebounded, and the domestic - mine TC has rebounded first. Concerns about the marginal tightening of macro - liquidity have put pressure on zinc prices. The de - stocking rhythm in the peak season should be continuously tracked. Shanghai zinc has fallen below the 24,000 - yuan integer mark, and there is still room for further decline. The annual oversupply expectation remains unchanged, and the general direction is to short on rebounds [4] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel fluctuated in a narrow range, and the market trading was active. The market is worried about the Fed's liquidity control, and the strong US dollar has put overall pressure on the market. The spot price of Jinchuan nickel has declined, and the price of high - nickel pig iron with a grade of 10 - 12% has increased by 3 yuan per point, reaching 1,095 yuan per point. The rebound in upstream prices has continued to drive up the mid - stream prices and provided cost support. In the short term, it is still dominated by policy sentiment. The pure - nickel inventory has increased by 3,000 tons to 87,500 tons, and the stainless - steel inventory has decreased by 20,000 tons to 998,000 tons. Attention should be paid to further changes in Indonesian policies, and the overall trend is a weak shock [7] Tin - Shanghai tin closed down with a reduction in positions, and the short - term price was under pressure at the MA60 moving average. The market is highly concerned about the risk of the Middle - East situation. The overnight rebound of the US stock market and the NVIDIA annual conference's promotion of the computing - power demand outlook have temporarily eased the decline of tin prices. On the supply side, it is expected to maintain a stable supply trend, and Steel Union expects the domestic refined - tin output to be in the normal production schedule in March. It is expected that the tin price may fluctuate towards 350,000 yuan [8] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate rebounded in a volatile manner, and the market trading was active. The downstream production situation was good, and the lithium - iron - phosphate enterprises were still relatively active in production. The total market inventory decreased by 400 tons to 99,000 tons, the smelter inventory decreased by 1,200 tons to 16,300 tons, the downstream inventory increased by 200 tons to 44,000 tons, and the trader inventory decreased by 1,000 tons to 37,000 tons. The overall destocking speed has slowed down, and the change in the inventory structure is worthy of attention. The decline in smelter inventory has slowed down, and the confidence of traders in hoarding goods has wavered, and they have started to sell to the downstream. In terms of production, the lithium - carbonate production has returned to a high level at the beginning of March, and the weekly production has reached a new high. The lithium - carbonate futures price fluctuates, and the fundamentals are stronger than the expected end. It is advisable to consider going long on the near - month spread [9] Industrial Silicon - The industrial - silicon futures closed down in a volatile manner. On the supply side, the weekly supply increased slightly. The output in the Southwest region was low, the resumption of production of leading enterprises in Xinjiang accelerated, and the operation in the Northwest production area was stable. On the demand side, the operation rate of organic silicon increased slightly, but downstream procurement was cautious, and the price support was limited. The polysilicon market was weak, the operation rate of small and medium - sized manufacturers declined, and the willingness to stock up on raw materials was insufficient. Affected by the energy conflict before, the cost expectation has increased. Currently, the market has returned to fundamental trading, and it is expected that the industrial - silicon price will be mainly in a weak shock [10] Polysilicon - The polysilicon price continued to run weakly. According to SMM data, the average price of N - type dense material was 43,000 yuan per ton, a decrease of 500 yuan per ton compared with the previous day, and the market bearish sentiment was strong. The resumption of production in the industry in March was slow, and the resumption of some small and medium - sized manufacturers was postponed due to the market situation. As the "rush - for - export" window period approaches, the support of downstream battery - sheet orders has weakened, the price has fallen under pressure, the silicon - wafer segment has also weakened, and the market's willingness to bottom - fish and stock up on polysilicon is weak. SMM statistics show that the polysilicon enterprise inventory has reached 357,000 tons, an increase of 9,000 tons week - on - week, at a stage high. It is comprehensively judged that the polysilicon futures are likely to maintain a weak trend in the short term [11]
