Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report Short - term copper prices are expected to run weakly. Although supply tightness supports copper prices due to concerns about Trump's tariff policy implementation and low processing fees, high prices suppress downstream demand, and previous positive factors are weakening, resulting in upward pressure on copper prices [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1行情回顾 Last week, the main contract of Shanghai copper first rose and then fell. In the first half of the week, it continued the previous week's upward trend. After the release of strong US employment data on Thursday and Trump's passage of the "big and beautiful" bill, the US dollar index rose, and copper prices fell from a high on Friday. The closing price on Friday was 79,730 yuan/ton, a decrease of about - 0.2% compared with the previous week [5]. 3.2 Supply and Demand - Processing fees remain in the negative range. After the copper price exceeded 80,000 yuan/ton, many refined copper rod enterprises reduced production or stopped production to reduce inventory, causing the weekly operating rate of refined copper rod enterprises to drop to 63.74%, a decrease of 10.27% from the previous period and 9.74% lower than expected. The operating rate of copper cable enterprises dropped to 67.81%, a decrease of 2.37% from the previous period and 13.55% from the same period last year [3]. - Affected by the traditional off - season and high copper prices, new orders weakened, and enterprises mainly relied on previous orders. The finished product inventory decreased by 2.33% to 19,670 tons. Except for the relatively stable power industry, demand in other industries was generally suppressed by high copper prices [3]. - As some enterprises' finished product inventories have reached a low level, the operating rate is expected to rise to 71.56% driven by resumption of production. As of July 3, the copper inventory in the country's mainstream areas increased by 0.57 million tons to 13.18 million tons compared with Monday and increased by 0.17 million tons compared with the previous Thursday [3]. 3.3 Macro - economy - The US Department of Labor announced on Thursday that non - farm payrolls increased by 147,000 in June, which led to a significant decline in the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations and a rise in the US dollar. The US House of Representatives passed Trump's bill to significantly cut taxes and increase government spending, which may increase inflationary pressure, putting upward pressure on copper prices [3]. - Trump stated that countries will pay reciprocal tariffs starting from August 1, with tariff rates possibly ranging from 10% to 20% or from 60% to 70% [3].
