Warrant product recommendations and comparisons
With Zijin Mining currently trading at 37.44 yuan, alongside support levels at 35.8 yuan and 31.2 yuan, and resistance levels at 41 yuan and 44.1 yuan, investors can choose suitable products based on their own views.
For bullish strategies, one may consider JPMorgan’s call warrant (21144) with an exercise price of 43.99 yuan, offering about 7.8 times leverage. The key advantage of this product is that its leverage is the highest among similar offerings, suitable for aggressive investors seeking higher leverage. Based on the current share price, the out-of-the-money level is approximately 17.5%, which is some distance away from the first resistance level at 41 yuan and the second resistance level at 44.1 yuan, making it suitable for investors expecting the share price to break through 44.1 yuan.
For bull certificates, one may consider UBS Group's bull certificate (62297) with a stop-loss price of 33 yuan and actual leverage of 7.1 times; this product has the lowest premium and relatively high actual leverage. Another option is HSBC's bull certificate (64068) with a stop-loss price of 33 yuan and actual leverage of 6.7 times, with relatively low premiums. When selecting bull certificates, it’s important to ensure that the stop-loss price is below the support levels at 35.8 yuan and 31.2 yuan to provide sufficient safety buffer. The stop-loss price of 33 yuan is below the first support level of 35.8 yuan, providing ample safety margin, making it suitable for investors who are optimistic about the future market outlook.
Two selected bullish products:
- JPMorgan Call Warrant (21144) $MSZIJIN@EC2605A.C (21144.HK)$ : Leverage is as high as 7.8 times, making it an ideal choice for bullish strategies seeking high leverage.
- UBS Bull Certificate (62297) $UB#ZIJINRC2610C.C (62297.HK)$ With an actual leverage of 7.1 times, a recovery price of 33 yuan provides sufficient safety margin, and the lowest premium offers good cost-effectiveness.

For bearish strategies, the put warrant from JPMorgan (25363) with an exercise price of 42.88 yuan and leverage of 1.4 times can be considered. This product has the highest leverage and is suitable for bearish positioning. When selecting put warrants, note that the exercise price of 42.88 yuan is higher than the current stock price, making it an in-the-money product. If the stock price remains constrained by resistance at 41 yuan, this type of product will perform relatively well.
For bear certificates, one may consider UBS Group's bear certificate (55211) with a recovery price of 44 yuan and an actual leverage of 5.6 times, making it the product with the lowest premium. A review of warrant products shows that the UBS Group bear certificate (55211), deployed on March 12, recorded a 47% increase when the underlying stock fell, demonstrating significant leverage effects. When choosing bear certificates, ensure that the recovery price is above resistance levels of 41 yuan and 44.1 yuan. A recovery price of 44 yuan is slightly below the second resistance level of 44.1 yuan, making it a close-to-the-market choice suitable for investors expecting the stock price to encounter resistance at 41 yuan and retreat. However, caution is needed if the stock price breaks through 44.1 yuan, as there will be a risk of recovery.
Two selected bearish products:
- JPMorgan Put Warrant (25363) $JPZIJIN@EP2706A.P (25363.HK)$ : Highest leverage, making it an ideal choice in terms for bearish deployment.
- UBS Bear Certificate (55211) $UB#ZIJINRP2812H.P (55211.HK)$ : Actual leverage of 5.6 times, lowest premium, and previously recorded a 47% gain on March 12, showing outstanding performance.
Overall, Zijin Mining's share price is currently in an oversold rebound phase. The key level of 37 yuan has been successfully reclaimed, and the resistance at 41 yuan will determine the short-term trend. Fundamentally, positive factors are concentrated, including JPMorgan listing it as a top pick, industry funds deploying in new materials and renewable energy, and continuous growth in margin financing balances. However, the outflow of funds over the past five days still needs attention. Investors should strictly control risks when deploying, choose appropriate derivative instruments based on key support levels of 35.8 yuan and 31.2 yuan, resistance levels of 41 yuan and 44.1 yuan, and pay attention to the impact of out-of-the-money levels on product performance.
