Core Viewpoint - The copper smelting industry in China is facing significant challenges due to "involution" competition, leading to persistently low copper concentrate processing fees, which has prompted industry associations to call for stricter control over smelting capacity expansion [1][2]. Industry Overview - The copper concentrate processing fee has been at historically low levels, with both long-term and spot prices remaining depressed, severely impacting profits in the smelting sector [1]. - The processing fee, which includes smelting and refining costs, has dropped significantly, with reports indicating that the spot processing fee fell to -$40 per ton by the end of June 2023 [2]. - Major companies like Tongling Nonferrous Metals and Northern Copper have reported declines in net profits due to the low processing fees, with Tongling's net profit down 33.94% year-on-year [2]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The decline in processing fees is primarily attributed to tightening copper concentrate supply, as the global supply-demand balance shifts from surplus to shortage [3]. - China's copper smelting capacity has been growing at a rate much faster than the supply of raw materials, leading to increased dependency on imports, which constitute over 80% of the copper ore supply [3]. - The production guidance for major copper mines has been revised downward, further tightening supply and leading to expectations of continued low processing fees [4]. Company Strategies - In response to the challenging environment, leading companies are focusing on cost reduction and enhancing the profitability of by-products to offset the impact of low processing fees [4]. - Yunnan Copper has reported a year-on-year net profit increase of over 24% by implementing cost-cutting measures and increasing the contribution of by-products like sulfuric acid, which saw a significant rise in gross margin [4].

Market Overview - The three major indices experienced a collective pullback, with the Shanghai Composite Index down 0.65%, the Shenzhen Component down 1.76%, and the ChiNext Index down 2.60% [1] - The trading volume in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets exceeded 2.1 trillion, a decrease of over 200 billion compared to the previous day [2] - The market is showing increased divergence as the holiday approaches, with trading volume relatively dull compared to last week, but volatility is on the rise [3] Sector Performance - The market saw a broad adjustment, with most industry sectors declining.

Major stocks like Inspur Information and Industrial Fulian also saw substantial drops [8] - Copper-related stocks performed well against the trend, with companies like Jingyi Co. achieving three consecutive limit-up days, and Jiangxi Copper and Tongling Nonferrous Metals also rising. This was influenced by supply concerns following a landslide at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia, which announced "force majeure" due to production stoppage [9] Investment Sentiment - As the National Day holiday approaches, investors face a classic dilemma of whether to hold stocks or cash. The market is experiencing increased volatility and accelerated sector rotation [19] - The market's profitability is declining, with only 32% of stocks rising this week, marking a low point in the current uptrend [21] - Historical data indicates that the probability of index declines in the five trading days leading up to the National Day holiday is 60%, suggesting a cautious outlook for the near term [21] Future Outlook - The technology sector has been a major contributor to the recent index gains, but the current crowded positioning indicates a demand for adjustment. The TMT sector has contributed 42% to the overall A-share index increase since June 23, with a trading volume share of 37% [25] - Given the historical trend of poor performance before the National Day holiday, there is a likelihood of profit-taking, and sectors with strong bottom support signals, such as banking and insurance, may be more favorable [26] - The market is expected to remain in a downward trend with a solid base, and while the medium to long-term upward momentum is still sufficient, more definitive trends may emerge post-October [27]
