高盛认为，近期铜价上涨主要基于对未来市场紧缺的预期，而非当前基本面支撑，预计2026年铜价将在1万至1.1万美元区间震荡。该行预测今年铜供应 将比需求多出约50万吨，2026年逐步趋于平衡，真正的短缺要到2029年才会出现。 在最新发布的研报中，高盛的Aurelia Waltham分析师团队写道， 近期铜价上涨主要基于对未来市场紧缺的预期，而非当前基本面支撑。该行预计今年 铜供应将比需求多出约50万吨，铜短缺要到2029年才会出现。 高盛将2026年上半年伦敦金属交易所（LME）铜均价预测上调至10,710美元，反映美国潜在关税政策推动铜流入的影响，但下半年或有小幅回调。此 外，美国以外地区的"极低"库存问题可通过更高的地区升水和更紧的伦敦金属交易所（LME）价差得到缓解。 LME铜价周三在创下每吨1.154万美元的历史新高，主要由于市场担心美国征收关税前金属大量涌入造成全球供应紧张。周四亚太地区矿业股跟随走 高，洛阳钼业A股一度上涨6%，Capstone Copper澳洲股票一度涨8.2%。 铜仍被高盛视为工业金属中的"首选"，受全球电网与能源基础设施投资拉动，长期供需结构趋紧，但短期内市场仍处于小幅过剩状 ...

Core Viewpoint - Micron Technology announced the complete shutdown of its Crucial brand business, which has been operational for nearly 30 years, while continuing to ship products through consumer channels until February 2026.
