Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core View - The Trump administration's plan to double steel and aluminum import tariffs and initiate a Section 232 investigation on copper imports has led to strong expectations of copper tariff policies. China's economic output is expanding, with the May manufacturing PMI up 0.5 percentage points and the composite PMI output index up 0.2 percentage points from the previous month. The supply side is expected to remain tight, but the actual supply of refined copper has not decreased. The domestic PMI data is positive, and the demand during the off - season is resilient, which supports copper prices. The inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange has continued to decline since the end of May, indicating downstream demand. If the copper tariff policy becomes clearer, it may lead to expectations of supply shortages and benefit copper prices. Currently, copper is still in a volatile range, and attention should be paid to subsequent tariff policies and downstream demand resilience [1].
