沪铜日评：中美贸易谈判缓和预期支撑铜价-20251024

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report The report indicates that due to supply - side disturbances in multiple domestic and foreign copper mines, the import index of copper concentrates in China has been negative, leading to a tight supply - demand expectation. The processing fees of domestic crude copper or anode plates have initially increased, and the maintenance capacity of copper smelters in October has increased month - on - month. On the demand side, the capacity utilization rates of various copper products have risen compared to last week. In terms of inventory, the social inventory of Chinese electrolytic copper and the LME electrolytic copper inventory have decreased compared to last week, while the COMEX copper inventory has increased. With the expectation of future interest rate cuts and the end of balance - sheet reduction by the Fed, as well as the expectation of a缓和 in Sino - US trade negotiations, the price of copper is expected to be cautiously bullish. The trading strategy suggests mainly laying out long positions when the price drops, paying attention to support and resistance levels [2]. 3.
