1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Trump's tariff policies have three main impacts on copper prices: reshaping the global trade environment and hindering economic development and copper demand; the 232 copper tariff mainly affects semi - finished copper product imports and exports, with limited impact on the domestic copper industry; and the tariff policies may lead to a weaker US dollar index, which could boost copper prices due to copper's financial attributes [1][31]. - In the long run, although the US may impose phased tariffs on refined copper starting from 2027, the actual implementation may fall short of expectations, and the impact is still far off [2][31]. - Currently, copper pricing has returned to fundamentals. With tight copper concentrate supply, high domestic smelter output, and low domestic copper inventories, combined with the expectation of increased demand in the peak season, copper prices are expected to be strongly volatile [31][33]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. US Tariff Policy Review (1) Reciprocal Tariffs - In April, Trump imposed a 10% "benchmark tariff" on all countries and higher "reciprocal tariffs" on countries with large trade surpluses with the US. The reasons include the need for tariff revenue to offset tax cuts and using tariffs as a bargaining chip [6]. - The China - US tariff game has been intense, with multiple rounds of tariff increases and subsequent suspensions of some tariffs [6][7]. (2) 232 Copper Tariffs - On July 30, the US 232 copper tariff was announced, imposing a 50% tariff on imported semi - finished copper products and copper - intensive derivatives starting from August 1, while exempting copper input materials and copper scrap. The White House also requires 25% of high - quality copper scrap and primary copper products to be sold domestically [8]. - Before the tariff implementation, market concerns led to increased demand for copper futures and a rise in copper prices. After the tariff was implemented, the exemption of refined copper caused a sharp drop in copper futures prices [9][10]. II. Analysis of the Impact of US Tariffs on Copper Prices (1) Tariff Policies Reshape the Global Trade Pattern, Hindering Economic Development and Copper Demand - The US tariff policies disrupt economic globalization, negatively affecting global economic growth. In 2025, the global economic growth rate is expected to slow, and copper consumption may be impacted [14][16]. (2) The 232 Copper Tariff Exempts Refined Copper, and the Impact of Copper Product Tariffs is Limited - The proportion of China's copper product exports to the US is small. The tariff aims to reshape the US copper industry chain. The exemption of refined copper benefits copper - smelting and copper - producing countries. The tariff may reduce the US demand for imported copper products and increase domestic processing capacity [17][19]. - The high COMEX copper inventory in the US can meet domestic demand, and the probability of copper flowing back to the Eurasian market is small. The impact on Shanghai copper is limited due to the closed import window and low domestic copper inventories [22][24]. (3) Tariffs Affect the Weakening of the US Dollar Index, and Copper's Financial Attributes May Boost Copper Prices - Copper prices are negatively correlated with the US dollar index. Trump's tariff policies initially pushed the US dollar to strengthen but later led to its weakening. The expansion of the US fiscal deficit and the high probability of a September interest rate cut may further weaken the US dollar and boost copper prices [27][29]. III. Summary and Outlook - The uncertainty of Trump's tariff policies remains. The impact on copper prices is mainly in three aspects as mentioned above. In the long run, the implementation of refined copper tariffs may be less than expected [30][31]. - With the improvement of the macro - environment, copper pricing has returned to fundamentals. Supported by fundamentals and the expectation of interest rate cuts, copper prices are expected to be strongly volatile [31][33].

Core Views - Trump and Zelensky reported a good atmosphere in their talks; Trump also spoke with Putin, and both sides supported direct negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations. Li Qiang stated that effective measures will be taken to consolidate the stabilization and recovery of the real estate market, cultivate and expand service consumption, and increase efforts to expand effective investment. The People's Bank of China will implement a moderately loose monetary policy and strengthen financial support for technology and consumption. The market is strong, and it is recommended to use the T+0 feature of stock index futures, maintain positions, closely monitor market trends, lock in positions when a downward trend appears based on technical analysis, earn profits during the period of rising market sentiment, and stabilize profits when the trend is unfavorable [1]. - Considering the absolute levels, the yield of 30-year old bonds has risen to 2.15%, and the yield of newly issued 30-year local bonds has adjusted to over 2.32%, which is sufficient to cover the lowered liability costs of insurance funds, helping to attract insurance fund allocation. Meanwhile, there is a demand for corrective movement in the technical analysis of the equity market. The bond market may experience a slight recovery due to the "return to loose" liquidity conditions and a slight decline in equity market sentiment [2].

Supply and demand both weakened, with external demand falling more明显 on the demand side and production slowing on the supply side. Upstream non - ferrous and steel industries improved, while downstream export - oriented industries were suppressed [17]. Inflation - In July 2025, the CPI was flat year - on - year and rose 0.4% month - on - month; the PPI fell 3.6% year - on - year and 0.2% month - on - month. There were positive changes in prices, but the year - on - year CPI and PPI remained sluggish [20]. Industrial Added Value - In July, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value fell to 5.7%, and the year - on - year growth rate of the service industry production index fell to 5.8%. The decline in industrial added value was mainly dragged down by the export chain [23].

Social Retail Sales - In July, the year - on - year growth rate of social retail sales fell to 3.7%, and that of above - quota retail sales fell to 2.8%. The weakening was mainly reflected in the low - level shock of catering revenue, the weakening of sales of state - subsidized categories, and the decline in real - estate chain consumption [29]. Social Financing - In July 2025, new social financing was 1.2 trillion yuan, and new RMB loans were - 50 billion yuan. At the end of July, the year - on - year growth rate of social financing stock was 9.0%, and that of M2 was 8.8%. Although the credit growth was negative, social financing, M1, and M2 growth rates improved with fiscal support. In the future, the social financing growth rate may peak and decline, and policies may be adjusted according to the situation [32]. Imports and Exports - In July 2025, China's exports were $321.78 billion, imports were $223.54 billion, and the trade surplus was $98.24 billion.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - Supply side: Last week's lithium carbonate production decreased by 265 tons to 20,093 tons, while July's production increased by 5.8% to 85,690 tons. The Ningde Jianxiawo mine will be shut down for 3 months, and production enterprises in Yichun and Qinghai have received notices for re - review of mining rights transfers, affecting supply. In June 2025, China's lithium ore imports were 576,000 tons, a 4.8% month - on - month decrease, and lithium carbonate imports were 18,000 tons, a 16% month - on - month decrease. The cost of imported lithium spodumene concentrate increased week - on - week, causing cost inversion for some lithium carbonate manufacturers using purchased lithium ore [5]. - Demand side: The overall production schedule in August increased month - on - month, with large battery cell manufacturers' production schedules increasing by 7%. In July, the total output of power and other batteries in China was 133.8 GWh, a 3.6% month - on - month and 44.3% year - on - year increase.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - For soybean meal, the supply - demand of US soybeans is tightening, leading to an upward shift in the price center. In the short term, domestic soybean meal follows the price increase of US soybeans, but its growth is limited by inventory accumulation expectations and the strength of oils. In the medium - long term, as domestic inventory enters the depletion cycle in late October, the price is expected to continue to be strong [8]. - For oils, although there are short - term risks of high - level corrections due to factors such as reduced market enthusiasm for long - positions and increased vessel purchases, the overall long - term trend remains positive due to factors like tight supply - demand in the origin of palm oil and US soybean new crops [91]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Soybean Meal 3.1.1 Market Trend Review - As of August 8, the spot price in East China was 2990 yuan/ton, up 70 yuan/ton week - on - week. The M2601 contract closed at 3137 yuan/ton, up 43 yuan/ton week - on - week. The basis was 01 - 150 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan/ton week - on - week. The US soybean price rose to around 1030 cents/bushel due to tightened supply - demand [8][10]. 3.1.2 Fundamental Data Review - Price: Spot prices in North China, East China, and Shandong all increased, with price differences and basis prices showing various changes. The closing price of the main soybean meal contract increased by 2% [12]. - Supply: The flowering rate, pod - setting rate of US soybeans increased, while the excellent - good rate decreased by 1%. The monthly arrival volume increased by 20%.

In the long - term, there is still a risk of periodic drought [51]. - Cost: The planting cost of US soybeans in the 25/26 season is 1141 cents/bushel, and the estimated bottom price is around 990 cents/bushel. The domestic import cost has increased, and the estimated bottom price of domestic soybean meal is 3130 yuan/ton [8]. - Purchase and Arrival: The purchase of Brazilian vessels from August to September is active, but there is no purchase of US soybeans after September. The supply may be interrupted from October to January, and the price may rise periodically after November [62][72]. 3.2 Oils 3.2.1 Market Trend Review - As of the week of August 15, palm oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil futures and spot prices fluctuated significantly. The price first rose due to positive supply - demand reports and the preliminary review of anti - dumping on Canadian rapeseed, and then fell due to market sentiment release and new vessel - purchase news [91][93]. 3.2.2 Fundamental Data Review - Supply: The production and export volume of Malaysian palm oil showed different trends. The domestic inventory of palm oil, soybean, and rapeseed showed different degrees of change [98]. - Demand: The domestic trading volume of palm oil and soybean oil decreased, while the domestic rapeseed oil提货 volume increased [98]. 3.2.3 Key Data Tracking - Malaysia: The MPOB July report showed that the ending inventory of Malaysian palm oil was lower than expected.

Although there may be a phased rebound in prices in the short - term, the supply will increase significantly after September, and prices will continue to be under pressure in the medium - to - long - term [4][52]. - The abundant supply of eggs suppresses the market, and the rebound of the futures price is under pressure. In the short - term, sufficient supply will limit the increase in egg prices, and in the long - term, the high - supply situation may be difficult to reverse [5][83]. - The listing of new corn supplements the supply, and the futures price is running weakly. In the short - term, the supply is relatively sufficient, and in the long - term, supply pressure during the listing period and the decline in cost support may lead to a downward shift in the price fluctuation center [6][110]. 3.

Although the production capacity began to decline in December 2024, the decline was limited. The production capacity increased again from May to June 2025, and the overall sow production capacity was abundant. Combined with the improvement of production performance, the live pig slaughter pressure will remain high until April next year [4][17]. - The production performance has improved. In July, the ratio of binary to ternary breeding sows was 94%:6%, the same as last month; the breeding farrowing rate was 79.67%, up 0.74% from last month; the average number of healthy piglets per litter was 11.29, up 0.01 from last month. The sow production performance was at the highest level in the past four years [17]. 3.1.4 Weekly Summary - In the short - term, there may be a phased price rebound, but the supply will increase significantly after September, and the rebound height is limited. In the medium - to - long - term, the supply will increase until April next year, and prices will continue to be under pressure [4]. 3.1.5 Strategy Recommendations - The futures price is still at a premium compared to the low - price area in the southwest. Contracts 11 and 01 face large supply pressure and their rebounds are under pressure. Contract 03 is under pressure as it corresponds to next year's off - season, while contract 05 is relatively strong due to the expectation of policy - driven production capacity reduction. For contracts 11 and 01, gradually stop losses on previous short positions at low levels, wait for the spot price to drive a rebound, and then add short positions at the pressure levels. Also, pay attention to the long 05 and short 03 arbitrage [4]. 3.2 Eggs 3.2.1 Week - to - Week Market Review - As of August 15, the average price in the main egg - producing areas was 3.1 yuan/jin, up 0.19 yuan/jin from last Friday; the average price in the main egg - selling areas was 2.97 yuan/jin, up 0.03 yuan/jin from last Friday; the egg 2510 contract closed at 3,391 yuan/500 kg, down 75 yuan/500 kg from last Friday; the basis of the main contract was - 562 yuan/500 kg, up 5 yuan/500 kg from last Friday [5][62]. 3.2.2 Fundamental Data Review - Supply - related data: The national weekly utilization rate of breeding eggs for laying hens was 68.00%, the same as last week; the average price of laying hen chicks in the main producing areas was 3.60 yuan/chick, down 0.25 yuan/chick from last week; the average price of culled hens in the main producing areas was 5.48 yuan/jin, down 0.20 yuan/jin from last week; the culled hen slaughter volume was 14.42 million, up 710,000 from last week; the culled hen age was 506 days, the same as last week [63]. - Demand - related data: The egg sales volume in the sample sales areas was 7,605 tons, up 76 tons from last week; the average daily number of trucks arriving at the Beijing market was 12, down 0.71 from last week; the average daily number of trucks arriving at the Guangdong market was 83, up 8 from last week [63]. 3.2.3 Key Data Tracking - The number of newly - opened laying hens in August corresponds to the increased chick replenishment in April 2025. After the Beginning of Autumn, the egg - laying rate will gradually recover. Although some farms have culled old hens, the supply is still abundant due to the supplement of cold - stored eggs [5]. - In the long - term, the high chick - replenishment volume from May to July 2025 means a large number of newly - opened laying hens from September to November 2025. The high - supply situation may be difficult to reverse, but the chick - replenishment enthusiasm has declined, and the supply growth may slow down [5]. 3.2.4 Weekly Summary - In the short - term, sufficient supply will limit the increase in egg prices. If the Mid - Autumn Festival market performance is not as expected, the culling may increase, alleviating the long - term supply pressure. Continuously monitor the culling situation [5]. 3.2.5 Strategy Recommendations - The spot price may have a small - scale rebound. The culling of hens is the key variable. The futures market shows a pattern of near - term weakness and long - term strength. Currently, the main contract is 10, with a large premium. Wait for a rebound to go short.

In the long - term, the 25/26 corn planting is stable, the climate is suitable, and the cost support has shifted downwards. The price fluctuation center may shift downwards, but the weather in the production areas needs to be continuously monitored [6]. 3.3.5 Strategy Recommendations - The main contract has shifted to 11, which is linked to the new crop. With suitable weather and cost reduction, the futures price is weak due to the expected selling pressure during the listing period. Those without positions can wait for a rebound to go short or hold the 11 - 1 reverse spread [6].
