沪铜日评：国内铜治炼厂7月检修产能或环减，国内外电解铜总库存量连续累积-20250708

Report Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View The expansion of the US fiscal deficit and the Fed's potential interest rate cuts, along with disruptions in overseas copper production and transportation, are countered by Trump's tariff policies and the traditional off - season of domestic consumption. With the continuous accumulation of global electrolytic copper inventory, the price of Shanghai copper may be adjusted. It is recommended that investors lightly build short positions in the main contract, paying attention to specific support and resistance levels for Shanghai copper, London copper, and US copper [4].

On July 2, the No. 2 anode furnace in the refining workshop of Yuanqu Smelter was put into operation [2]. - Overseas: Glencore's PASAR smelter in the Philippines with a leased capacity of 200,000 tons has shut down; Zhongkuang Resources' Tsuned copper concentrator in Namibia has suspended production; Glencore's Altonorte smelter in Chile has reduced production; the Kakula smelter in Congo (Kinshasa) may be completed and put into operation in June 2025, with an annual output of 500,000 tons of cathode copper [4]. 3. Key Information - Macro: The US House - version "Big Beautiful" bill was passed, raising the debt ceiling to 5 trillion dollars, with the fiscal deficit expected to expand by over 3 trillion dollars. The ADP employment number in a certain month was - 33,000, lower than expected, reducing the probability of the Fed not cutting interest rates in July, but the expected time for rate cuts is still September/October/December [3][4]. - Industry: China's copper concentrate import index is negative but has increased compared to last week. The supply of high - quality scrap copper in Europe is restricted, and due to the Sino - US trade dispute, traders are reluctant to buy US steel. However, the positive price difference between domestic electrolytic copper and scrap copper may increase the economy of scrap copper, and the scrap copper import window is open. The production and import of domestic scrap copper in July may change, and the supply - demand situation is expected to be tight. The domestic smelter's monthly inspection capacity may decrease, and the production and export of domestic electrolytic copper may increase [4]. - Downstream: Some copper rod enterprises plan to reduce production and inventory in July due to high finished - product inventory. The operating rates of copper wire and cable, copper strip, copper pipe, and brass rod industries have decreased, and the inventory of raw materials and finished products in these industries has changed accordingly [4].
