Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The copper price resumed its upward trend this week due to the impending restart of the US government, which led to a rebound in market risk appetite. Meanwhile, the spot premium remained stable, and the downstream procurement sentiment increased steadily. With macro - level positives and support from the spot market, the copper price was pushed up. The supply - side support for the copper price is weakening this year, while the demand is expected to pick up and support the copper price. From a macro perspective, after the US government restarts, the release of employment and inflation data is expected to increase the probability of an interest rate cut in December, and the US dollar is expected to weaken. Overall, it is difficult for the copper price to decline, and it is expected to continue rising with the improvement of the macro - environment and demand [10]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Price Trend Reasons: The resumption of the upward trend in copper prices is due to the upcoming restart of the US government, the recovery of market risk appetite, stable spot premiums, and increased downstream procurement sentiment. The support from macro factors and the spot market has pushed up copper prices. - Supply - Side Situation: The narrative of tight copper ore supply continues, but the supply pressure of cold materials has weakened as the refined - scrap price spread has widened. The production reduction pressure on smelters in November has eased. SMM expects a decrease of only 0.4 million tons in November and a slight increase in December, so the supply - side support for copper prices is weakening this year [10]. - Demand - Side Outlook: The demand that was squeezed by the sharp increase in copper prices in the early stage is gradually being released in November. There is an expectation of rush - work in the power grid sector near the end of the year. SMM expects the operating rate in the refined copper rod sector to rebound, mainly driven by the need to complete production value tasks in the wire and cable sector and the continuous growth of demand in the new energy and transformer sectors in the enameled wire field. However, the social inventory has not effectively started to decline, making the upward rhythm of copper prices unstable [10]. - Macro - Economic Impact: After the US government restarts, the release of employment and inflation data is expected to increase the probability of an interest rate cut in December, and the US dollar is expected to weaken. Overall, the copper price is expected to continue rising [10]. 3.2. Industry News - Peru's Copper Production: In September 2025, Peru's copper production increased by 3.7% year - on - year to 240,995 tons. In the first nine months of 2025, Peru's copper production was about 2.048 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.7%. Peru is the world's third - largest copper producer [11]. - SandfireResources' Acquisition Plan: Australia's largest listed independent copper producer, SandfireResources, announced on Thursday that it had reached a binding term sheet with HavilahResources. It plans to acquire an 80% stake in the Kalkaroo copper - gold project in South Australia through a two - stage investment of up to A$210 million. The first stage requires a payment of A$105 million (70% in Sandfire shares and 30% in cash) to obtain the qualification, and the second stage requires another A$105 million after the pre - feasibility study (PFS) is completed [11]. - TasekoMines' Performance: Vancouver copper producer TasekoMines had a revenue of C$174 million in the third quarter, an adjusted EBITDA of C$62 million, and a net profit of C$6 million. The copper production of its core asset, the Gibraltar mine, increased to 27.6 million pounds (including 895,000 pounds of cathode copper) due to the high - grade mining area. The grade was 0.22%, the recovery rate was 77%, and the C1 cost dropped to US$2.87 per pound. The solvent extraction and electrowinning plant of the Florence Copper project in Arizona has been basically completed, with the first solution injection in early November. The commercial well - field flow met expectations, and the first batch of cathode copper production is imminent. Drilling will resume in the coming weeks to support capacity ramp - up in 2026 [11][12].
