Citi's bullish call on lithium is working well lately, while its stance on aluminum has not. The broker analyzed the divergence in performance between commodities and equities since the Iran conflict and adjusted its short-term preference ranking.

Overall, except for lithium-related stocks, all other mining stocks have underperformed the corresponding commodities as well as US-listed mining peers. This may reflect that the equity market is pricing in the risk of slowing demand in China.

Nevertheless, Citi believed mining stocks should eventually catch up with commodity price trends. Citi adjusted its commodity preference ranking to copper > aluminum > lithium > LFP cathode materials > batteries > gold > coal > steel > cement.

Give that copper prices are lagging and tensions in the Middle East may de-fuse, the broker raised copper to the top position. Citi's new top picks are: CATL (03750.HK), MMG (01208.HK), CMOC (03993.HK), CHALCO (02600.HK), GANFENGLITHIUM (01772.HK) and HUNAN YUNENG (301358.SZ).
