Citi expects that rising commodity prices will benefit basic materials, while automakers and second-tier battery manufacturers face pressure
Citigroup's research report indicates that rising commodity prices will benefit the basic materials industry, particularly aluminum, copper, and lithium suppliers, giving companies like CHALCO a "buy" rating. However, automakers will face pressure from rising costs, especially XPeng and GAC GROUP. Second-tier companies in the battery industry face short-term challenges, while CATL has bargaining power. Solar module manufacturers and grid equipment manufacturers will also be affected by rising costs. In the technology sector, Xiaomi may face pressure from rising memory costs
