1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The futures prices of each contract of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) continued to fluctuate. As of the close, except for a slight decline in the EC2604 contract, the prices of the remaining contracts slightly rebounded. Some contracts have reached short - term lows, some short - sellers took profits and left the market, and the trading sentiment was relatively calm. Affected by geopolitical risks, the futures prices continued a slight upward trend. The decline of the SCFI European Line has widened, and it is expected that the EC will generally continue to fluctuate or return to a fluctuating trend. In the medium term, without sudden events, based on fundamental considerations, the overall futures price trend may still be slightly downward [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs EC Risk Management Strategy Suggestions - For position management, if one has obtained positions but the shipping capacity is full or the booking volume is poor, and is worried about the decline in freight rates, with a long spot position, one can short the container shipping index futures (EC2510) at 1450 - 1550 to lock in profits [1]. - For cost management, if shipping companies increase the intensity of blank sailings or the market is about to enter the peak season, and they want to book cabins according to order situations, with a short spot position, they can buy the container shipping index futures (EC2510) at 1200 - 1300 to determine the booking cost in advance [1].

Report Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - This week, Zhengzhou cotton rebounded close to the previous high after the adjustment in the USDA report.

Attention should be paid to downstream stocking [5].

Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Futures Copper Risk Management Daily Report - Date: August 15, 2025 - Research Team: Nanhua Non - ferrous Metals Research Team [1] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - Copper prices declined slightly on Thursday due to the stabilization of the US dollar index and the decline of the domestic stock market, which lowered the valuation of commodities. However, the medium - term upward trend of copper prices has emerged. The recent US inflation data is favorable for the Fed to cut interest rates, which lowers the US dollar index and boosts the valuation of the entire non - ferrous metals sector. Downstream terminals are hesitant about the negative demand feedback in August caused by US tariffs, and believe that the current price has basically fulfilled the previous expectations. The previous support level of 77,000 yuan per ton can be raised to 78,000 yuan per ton. The change in the copper term structure from B to C indicates that this round of price increase is supported by the structure and may be more solid [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Content 3.1 Copper Price and Volatility - The latest copper price is 78,950 yuan/ton, with a monthly price range forecast of 73,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton.
