Nanhua Futures(SH:603093) Nan Hua Qi Huo·2025-08-19 05:37Report Overview - The report is the Copper Risk Management Daily Report of Nanhua Futures, dated August 19, 2025, prepared by Nanhua's non-ferrous metals research team [1] Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report Core Viewpoints - The slight decline of copper prices on Monday was a bit unexpected, possibly related to the decline in the valuation of the entire commodity market. The stock market's unexpected strength on Monday did not drive the futures market. In the short term, copper prices may continue to fluctuate, or slightly strengthen. The previous support level of 77,000 yuan per ton can be raised to 78,000 yuan per ton. Powell's speech at the global central bank annual meeting may have limited impact on copper prices [3] Summary by Directory Copper Price Volatility and Risk Management Suggestions - The latest copper price is 78,950 yuan/ton, with a monthly price range forecast of 73,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton. The current volatility is 11.64%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility is 22.6% [2] - For inventory management (high finished product inventory, worried about price decline), it is recommended to short 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 82,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of the call option CU2510C82000 when the volatility is relatively stable.
