Inventory - This week, the inventory of lithium carbonate showed a slight accumulation. The factory inventory increased by 375 tons, the market inventory decreased by 1085 tons, and the futures inventory increased by 845 tons [6]. Strategy Suggestion - Before a clear result on the lithium mining license issue in Jiangxi, the domestic supply - demand of lithium carbonate remains in a tight balance. The short - term price of lithium carbonate is expected to be supported due to factors such as good terminal demand for energy storage, increased production schedules of large battery cell manufacturers in the peak season of September, continuous risks of mining licenses, continuous production increase of lithium extraction from ore under the background of profit repair, and the upward movement of the cost center [6]. - As the "930" approaches, there is still no conclusion on the supply disturbance problem in Yichun, Jiangxi caused by mining licenses. The downstream production schedule exceeds expectations, and the current production reduction situation at the mine end has limited impact on the overall supply. It is necessary to pay attention to the disturbance at the Yichun mine end. In the peak season, the downstream actively purchases lithium carbonate, and the price is expected to continue to fluctuate widely. It is recommended to trade cautiously and pay attention to the progress of mining licenses in Yichun mines and the resumption of production of the Ningde Jianxiawo lithium mine [6]. 2. Key Data Tracking - The report presents multiple data charts, including the spot含税均价 of lithium carbonate, weekly and monthly production of lithium carbonate, weekly and monthly factory inventory of lithium carbonate, average price of lithium concentrate imports, production of different battery materials (such as lithium iron phosphate, ternary materials, etc.), import volume of lithium spodumene, average price of lithium iron phosphate for power use, import volume of lithium carbonate, and market price of ternary materials 8 - series: NCA type [8][9][11]

Report Title - Copper Weekly Report: Resurgence of Disturbances at the Mine End, Copper Prices Prone to Rise and Hard to Fall [1] Report Date - September 29, 2025 [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoint of the Report - The accident at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia has deepened the short - term expectation of copper mine tightness, and the copper price has broken through and risen sharply. The long - term central price of copper will continue to rise. Although the impact of the accident has been digested in the short term and the price has fallen due to profit - taking, the impact on copper supply, demand, and price is likely to be long - term. Copper prices are likely to rise easily and fall hard, and may continue to fluctuate at a high level in the short term [7] Summary by Directory 1. Main Viewpoints and Strategies - **Supply Side**: The Freeport Indonesia mine has suspended production due to a mudslide accident, and the copper production and sales of the Grasberg mine in Q4 2025 are expected to decline significantly. As of September 26, the spot rough smelting fee for copper concentrate was - $40.35/ton, remaining at a historical low. The domestic copper concentrate port inventory was 478,000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 18.01%, still at a low level over the years. In August, China's electrolytic copper production was 1.1715 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.24% and a year - on - year increase of 15.59%. The growth rate of domestic refined copper production remained stable. In September, smelters entered the peak of shutdown and maintenance, and combined with the impact of policies on anode copper supply, electrolytic copper production is expected to decrease [5][31] - **Demand Side**: Pre - holiday stocking has slightly increased the operating rate. As of September 26, the weekly operating rate of major domestic refined copper rod enterprises rose to 73.78%, a week - on - week increase of 3.28 percentage points and a year - on - year decrease of 11.14 percentage points. This week, enterprises mainly stocked up before the holiday, driving the overall operating rate to recover. In terms of actual consumption, although the copper price dropped slightly at the beginning of the week, downstream buyers mostly adopted a wait - and - see attitude. The sudden surge in copper price at the end of the week further suppressed the downstream's willingness to pick up goods, and the main orders were still existing orders [5][35] - **Inventory**: Domestic inventory has changed from an increase to a decrease. As of September 26, the copper inventory on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 98,761 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 6.65%. As of September 25, the domestic social copper inventory was 140,100 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 5.91%. As the National Day holiday approached, downstream inventory replenishment increased, leading to a decline in inventory. As of September 26, the LME copper inventory was 144,400 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 2.20%, and the LME copper continued to reduce inventory. The COMEX copper inventory was 32,230 short tons, a week - on - week increase of 1.74%, with a slight increase in inventory [6][43] - **Strategy Suggestion**: The Grasberg mine in Indonesia will take until 2027 to resume pre - accident production levels, and the 2026 output may be about 35% (about 270,000 tons) lower than previously estimated. The accident has deepened the short - term expectation of copper mine tightness, and the copper price has broken through and risen sharply. The long - term central price of copper will continue to rise. In the domestic market, affected by high copper prices, market consumption has weakened, and some downstream buyers' sentiment of pricing and taking goods has become more cautious. The pre - holiday stocking situation was lower than expected. As the end of the month and the National Day holiday approached, some holders showed a willingness to sell at low prices to recover funds before the holiday, resulting in an expansion of the spot discount. Currently, domestic smelters are in a high - maintenance period, the market arrivals are average, and the inventory has decreased slightly, but there are still imports of copper, and the supply - side pressure is not obvious. China's economic data in August showed a weakening trend month - on - month, and the consumption side in Q4 faces greater pressure. It is expected that China may introduce economic support policies in Q4. Overall, the impact of the Grasberg shutdown in Indonesia has been digested in the short term, and the price has fallen due to profit - taking, but the impact on copper supply, demand, and price may be long - term. Copper prices are likely to rise easily and fall hard and may continue to fluctuate at a high level in the short term [7] 2. Macro and Industry News - **Macro Data Overview**: In September, the LPR quotation remained unchanged, with the 5 - year LPR at 3.5% and the 1 - year LPR at 3%. The central bank stated that it would implement a moderately loose monetary policy. The US September Markit manufacturing and services PMI declined. The eurozone September manufacturing PMI unexpectedly fell into the contraction range, while the services and composite PMI expanded. The US Q2 GDP growth rate was revised up to 3.8%, a two - year high, but inflation pressure was more stubborn. The US August core PCE price index increased by 0.2% month - on - month, in line with expectations [15] - **Industry News Overview**: The El Teniente copper mine in Chile is recovering slowly after the accident, and the annual copper production will be lower than expected. China's August scrap copper imports decreased by 5.64% month - on - month. After the accident at the Grasberg copper mine, Freeport's metal production will face significant losses. The ICSG reported a global copper market surplus of 101,000 tons from January to July. The Antamina copper mine in Peru expects its 2026 copper production to increase to 450,000 tons [17] 3. Spot - Futures Market and Positioning - **Premium and Discount**: The high copper price has weakened downstream stocking sentiment. Near the holiday, the downstream stocking pace was slow, and spot transactions remained around flat water. After the sharp rise in copper price, Shanghai copper spot transactions were weak, with transactions around a small discount. The LME copper 0 - 3 discount narrowed slightly, the New York - London copper spread increased slightly, and the refined - scrap copper spread widened [20] - **Domestic and Foreign Positions**: As of September 26, the Shanghai copper futures position was 229,050 lots, a week - on - week increase of 32.38%. The average daily trading volume of Shanghai copper this week was 137,568.8 lots, a week - on - week increase of 87.48%. Both the position and trading volume of Shanghai copper increased significantly. As of September 19, the net long position of LME copper investment companies and credit institutions was 12,188.6 lots, a week - on - week decrease of 36.00%. As of September 23, the net long position of COMEX copper asset management institutions was 43,389 lots, a week - on - week increase of 3.07% [24] 4. Fundamental Data - **Supply Side**: The Freeport Indonesia mine has suspended production due to a mudslide accident, and the copper production and sales of the Grasberg mine in Q4 2025 are expected to decline significantly. As of September 26, the copper concentrate spot rough smelting fee was - $40.35/ton, remaining at a historical low. The domestic copper concentrate port inventory was 478,000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 18.01%, still at a low level over the years. In August, China's electrolytic copper production was 1.1715 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.24% and a year - on - year increase of 15.59%. The growth rate of domestic refined copper production remained stable. In September, smelters entered the peak of shutdown and maintenance, and combined with the impact of policies on anode copper supply, electrolytic copper production is expected to decrease [31] - **Downstream Operating Rate**: As of September 26, the weekly operating rate of major domestic refined copper rod enterprises rose to 73.78%, a week - on - week increase of 3.28 percentage points and a year - on - year decrease of 11.14 percentage points. Last week, enterprises mainly stocked up before the holiday, driving the overall operating rate to recover. In terms of actual consumption, although the copper price dropped slightly at the beginning of the week, downstream buyers mostly adopted a wait - and - see attitude. The sudden surge in copper price at the end of the week further suppressed the downstream's willingness to pick up goods, and the main orders were still existing orders. In August, the operating rates of copper plates, strips, tubes, and foils were 65.87%, 65.70%, and 78.44% respectively. The increase in copper price has reduced the purchasing willingness of downstream manufacturing enterprises, and the growth of downstream orders was lower than expected. The operating rate of copper tubes decreased due to US tariffs, while the operating rate of copper foils increased due to strong downstream demand for lithium - ion copper foils [35] - **Import and Export**: As of September 26, the Shanghai - London ratio of electrolytic copper was 8.03, and the ratio remained stable this week. The negative value of copper spot import profit and loss widened slightly. In August, China's refined copper import volume was 263,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.37%. The scrap copper import volume in August was 179,400 tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.93%. The imports of refined copper and scrap copper increased steadily. In August, China's imports of unwrought copper and copper products were 425,100 tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.22% [39] - **Inventory**: As of September 26, the copper inventory on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 98,761 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 6.65%. As of September 25, the domestic social copper inventory was 140,100 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 5.91%. As the National Day holiday approached, downstream inventory replenishment increased, leading to a decline in inventory. As of September 26, the LME copper inventory was 144,400 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 2.20%, and the LME copper continued to reduce inventory. The COMEX copper inventory was 32,230 short tons, a week - on - week increase of 1.74%, with a slight increase in inventory [6][43]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term pattern of weak industry and strong macro remains unchanged in the black industry before the National Day. The industry contradictions are not prominent, and it is recommended to wait and see or conduct short - term trading. The key lies in the steel demand after the festival to support the current high pig iron production [1][4]. - The glass market is affected by factors such as price increases of major manufacturers and downstream replenishment. Although there is a pressure range above the glass 2601 contract, it is still regarded as bullish in the near future [2][4]. - The supply - demand pattern of coking coal and coke has slightly weakened, and the key after the festival is also the steel demand and the resumption progress of coking coal production [4]. Summary by Related Categories Steel - Last Friday, the rebar futures price dropped significantly. The spot price in Hangzhou dropped to 3300 yuan/ton, and the 01 contract basis is 201. The rebar futures price has fallen below the cost of electric furnace valley electricity and long - process, with low static valuation. The macro policy expectations are rising, but the industrial demand is still weak year - on - year. Focus on the demand in October. The raw material supply - demand has weakened, and coking coal and coke have started to accumulate inventory. The RB2601 has support at 3000 - 3100 [1]. Iron Ore - Recently, the profitability of steel mills has slowly declined but is still at a relatively high level in recent years. The daily average pig iron output last week was 242.36 (+1.34) million tons. It is difficult to see short - term negative feedback. The iron ore has a high valuation in the black system, and the rebar - iron ore ratio is at a historically low level. Before the festival, it follows the steel price trend, and the key after the festival is the steel demand [1]. Glass - Last week, the glass futures first fell and then rose. The spot prices of some major glass manufacturers increased by 100 yuan/ton, and other enterprises followed. The supply side had no changes in production lines, and the daily melting volume remained the same. The national factory inventory continued to decline due to downstream replenishment and futures - cash traders' purchases. The cost of coal - gas has increased, but the profits of spot and petroleum coke have risen, while natural gas is still in a loss state. The processing plants are mainly waiting and seeing, only maintaining rigid demand procurement and a small amount of pre - festival stocking [2]. Soda Ash - The inventory of soda ash plants has decreased significantly due to the accelerated pick - up of goods by futures - cash traders. However, considering the second - phase project of Yuanxing, the output is still expected to increase, and it is expected to fluctuate [4]. Coal and Coke - Last week, the coking coal output continued to rise, with the daily average output of 194 million tons in 523 coking coal mines across the country. Before the festival, the downstream replenished stocks, the coal mine inventory decreased, and the inventory of coal washing plants and coking plants increased, with a large increase in total inventory. The second round of coke price cuts was implemented, the coke output decreased slightly last week, and the total inventory continued to accumulate. The short - term supply - demand pattern of coking coal and coke has slightly weakened [4].
