Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The Shanghai copper futures price fluctuated downward and returned to the previous trading range. The monthly spread on the futures market widened, and the tightness in the spot market remained unchanged. The domestic social inventory decreased by 0.47 thousand tons compared to Monday. With the reduction in domestic smelting production and imports, the domestic copper supply decreased. However, the current off - season for downstream demand and the strengthening of the spot - futures price spread suppressed demand. Under the short - term situation of weak supply and demand, the social inventory is expected to continue to decline slightly [6]. - The LME copper inventory dropped to 117 thousand tons, with a cancelled warrant ratio of 58.3%. The LME inventory is expected to continue to decline. The high back structure of LME0 - 3 will keep the domestic import window closed and the export window open. Both Shanghai and LME copper face the risk of low inventory [6]. - The Kamoa copper mine lowered its 2025 annual production guidance by 150 thousand tons. Given the current tight supply of copper ore, the reduction in large - mine production will make the global copper ore market more tense in the second half of the year, and the tightness at the raw material end is expected to be transmitted to the smelting end, leading to production cuts by smelters. Fundamentals are still favorable for copper prices [6]. - The US CPI in May was lower than expected, opening up the possibility of a Fed rate cut in September. However, the tense situation in the Middle East and the progress of Sino - US negotiations have increased market caution. In the short term, copper prices will continue to fluctuate under the influence of sentiment [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - The Shanghai copper market showed a downward trend, with the monthly spread widening. The domestic social inventory decreased, and the spot premium remained flat. The supply decreased due to smelting cuts and reduced imports, while demand was suppressed by the off - season and the strong spot - futures spread. The LME inventory is decreasing, and the high back structure affects import and export windows. The reduction in Kamoa copper mine's production guidance will tighten the copper ore market, and the fundamentals support copper prices, but market sentiment causes short - term fluctuations [6]. 3.2. Industry News - Cobalt Blue completed the feasibility study of its Halls Creek project in Western Australia, with a phased development plan for copper and zinc production. The Onedin deposit will be mined through open - pit methods and processed to produce copper, while zinc will be recovered as monohydrate zinc acid. The Sandiego deposit will be mined underground to produce copper and zinc concentrates. The project will use a photovoltaic solar grid with battery energy storage for power supply [9]. - Ivanhoe's Kakula mine in the Kamoa - Kakula copper complex in Congo resumed operations in its western area on June 7 after flood control measures, and the eastern area's mining is expected to start soon [9][10]. - On June 11, the government of Guixi City held a project promotion meeting, inspecting multiple copper - related projects such as the regeneration copper - based new material industrial park, copper production and recycling projects, and semiconductor and electronic material projects, and coordinating to solve project - related problems [10].
