Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core View - The copper market is in a volatile situation, with the market waiting for new drivers. The geopolitical conflict is escalating, increasing market risk aversion and expectations of economic uncertainty. The Fed's FOMC meeting hinted at two potential rate cuts this year. Fundamentally, the supply side has an increase in refined copper concentrate port inventory, and the negative expansion of domestic smelting fees signals a potential reduction in production, supporting the bottom space of copper prices. However, copper production remains at a high level. On the demand side, downstream purchasing willingness is low, the market is cautious in the face of high prices, and the downstream operating rate has slowed down. The terminal wire and cable industry maintains resilience, but the home appliance industry's production schedule has shrunk, and the real estate industry has a negative impact. Overall, the fundamentals have no significant fluctuations, maintaining the logic of tight supply expectations and weakening marginal demand. The copper price is affected by copper tariff policies and the Middle - East situation, fluctuating within a range. Before breaking through the upper resistance level, the market is expected to maintain a narrow - range shock, and the downside space is also limited by tight supply expectations [1].
