Report Summary 1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report The expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the Fed's expectation of interest - rate cuts, the easing of Sino - US reciprocal tariffs, the traditional consumption off - season, disruptions in overseas copper mine production or transportation, and the downward trend of domestic and foreign electrolytic copper inventories have led to a relatively strong copper price. It is recommended that investors hold their previous long positions cautiously and pay attention to the support and resistance levels of copper prices in different markets [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Data - Futures Market: The closing price of the active contract of Shanghai copper futures on July 2, 2025, was 80,540, down 100 from the previous day. The trading volume was 101,958 lots, down 11,491 lots from the previous day, and the open interest was 223,122 lots, down 861 lots from the previous day. The inventory was 22,425 tons [2]. - Spot Market: The average price of SMN 1 electrolytic copper on July 2, 2025, was 80,208, up 785 from the previous day. The basis of Shanghai copper was 450, up 885 from the previous day. The spot premiums and discounts of electrolytic copper in different regions showed different changes [2]. - LME Market: The closing price of LME 3 - month copper futures (electronic trading) on July 2, 2025, was 9,943, up 67 from the previous day. The total inventory of registered and cancelled warrants was 93,475, down 93,250 from the previous day [2]. 3.2 Important Information - Macro - level: The US House - version "Big Beautiful" bill was passed, planning to raise the debt ceiling to $5 trillion, and the fiscal deficit may expand by more than $3 trillion. The Fed may appoint a successor to Chairman Powell in advance. The US ADP employment in June was 33,000, lower than expected, which slightly reduced the probability of no interest - rate cut in July, but the expected time for interest - rate cuts is still September/October/December [3]. - Upstream: The copper concentrate transportation of some mines was interrupted due to road blockades by informal miners. Some copper smelters had production disruptions, while some new smelters were expected to be put into production. The domestic copper concentrate production (import) in July may decrease month - on - month, and the domestic scrap copper production (import) in July may increase. The domestic electrolytic copper production in July is expected to increase, and the import volume may be affected by the closed import window [3]. - Downstream: Some copper rod enterprises may cut production due to high finished - product inventories. The capacity utilization rates of various copper - related downstream industries are expected to decline due to factors such as the traditional consumption off - season and the easing of Sino - US reciprocal tariffs [3].
