Nanhua Futures(SH:603093) Nan Hua Qi Huo·2025-08-15 04:59Report Overview - Report Name: Nanhua Futures Copper Risk Management Daily Report - Date: August 15, 2025 - Research Team: Nanhua Non - ferrous Metals Research Team [1] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - Copper prices declined slightly on Thursday due to the stabilization of the US dollar index and the decline of the domestic stock market, which lowered the valuation of commodities. However, the medium - term upward trend of copper prices has emerged. The recent US inflation data is favorable for the Fed to cut interest rates, which lowers the US dollar index and boosts the valuation of the entire non - ferrous metals sector. Downstream terminals are hesitant about the negative demand feedback in August caused by US tariffs, and believe that the current price has basically fulfilled the previous expectations. The previous support level of 77,000 yuan per ton can be raised to 78,000 yuan per ton. The change in the copper term structure from B to C indicates that this round of price increase is supported by the structure and may be more solid [3] 3.
