Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current copper mine supply remains tight, and although demand has slightly improved with the decline in copper prices, there is still significant uncertainty overall considering seasonal trends and the macro - environment. In the short term, due to the implementation of the tariff policy, copper prices are expected to remain under pressure [5]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1.
