Industrial metals: steady growth boosted demand, the Fed fell bearish, and industrial metal prices rebounded at a low level
Core view: China is approaching the end of the year, and the transaction is light. It is expected that the subsequent industrial metal demand may pick up steadily under the tone of steady economic growth. At the end of the overseas fed interest rate meeting, the official announced to speed up the taper, and the bearish landing. Commodity prices rebounded in the short term. In copper, the epidemic interferes with supply and transportation, the demand side is facing the end of recent years, spot trading slows down, and inventory is low or will support the operation of high prices. In terms of aluminum, the supply side continued to limit production, and the average operating rate of aluminum leading downstream processing enterprises on the demand side increased by 0.1pct to 67.7% month on month this week. The cost side continued to decline, the inventory was accelerated this week, the weekly inventory was 42000 tons to 910000 tons, and the profit of electrolytic aluminum rebounded sharply to 3035 yuan / ton. We continue to be optimistic that the supply and demand of industrial metals next year will benefit from China's steady growth policy.

Precious metals: the Federal Reserve announced to speed up the taper, and gold prices hit the bottom and rebounded
Core view: the market expects the Federal Reserve to announce the early termination of the bond purchase plan, and the gold price is under pressure in the early stage. However, after the release of the minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting, the bad landing, superimposed with the unexpected interest rate increase of the Bank of England, dragged down the US dollar, and the high trend of the US dollar fell back, supporting the bottom rebound of gold.
