Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Neutral; Arbitrage: Suspended; Option: short put @ 77,000 yuan/ton [7] Core Viewpoints - Trump's claim to impose a 50% tariff on copper from August 1st pushed up Comex copper prices, while LME and SHFE copper prices declined. If the tariff policy is implemented, it may be too late to transport copper to the New York market, leading to an increase in LME copper inventory. Currently, short - term LME copper is weak, SHFE copper is in a downward oscillation, and it's advisable to wait and see. However, the copper supply - demand fundamentals won't change fundamentally [7] Summary by Directory Market News and Important Data - Futures Quotes: On July 10, 2025, the SHFE copper main contract opened at 78,340 yuan/ton and closed at 78,600 yuan/ton, up 0.26% from the previous trading day's close. The night - session contract opened at 78,700 yuan/ton and closed at 78,590 yuan/ton, up 0.26% from the afternoon close [1] - Spot Situation: On the previous day, the premium of SHFE copper spot collapsed. As the price dropped and the month - spread widened to over BACK250 yuan/ton, near the contract change, holders sold actively, causing the premium to fall rapidly. Mainstream flat - copper premiums dropped from 40 - 80 yuan/ton to near - flat, and there were discounted goods around 11 am. Premium copper like Jinchuan large - board was traded at a premium of 20 - 60 yuan/ton. Non - registered goods had significant price drops, with discounts over 200 yuan/ton. Other goods in Changzhou were traded at discounts of 80 - 40 yuan/ton [2] Important Information Summary - Macro and Geopolitical: Many Fed officials spoke. St. Louis Fed President Musalem thought the impact of tariffs on inflation might not be clear until the end of the year, and the US fiscal deficit could be a financial stability issue. San Francisco Fed President Daly considered a rate cut in the fall and expected two rate cuts this year. Governor Waller reiterated the possible reasons for a July rate cut. Domestically, the Ministry of Commerce responded that the US Commerce Secretary might meet Chinese negotiators in early August, and the two sides were in close communication on economic and trade concerns. The Foreign Ministry stated that Trump's 50% copper tariff was not in anyone's interest [3] - Mine End: On July 9, Canadian junior mining company Super Copper agreed to acquire 100% of the Castilla copper project in Chile for a $100,000 advance payment.
