Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core View of the Report - The copper price is expected to remain in a high - level range in the short term. The supply - side disturbances from the Congo accident are limited, and the release of smelting capacity restricts the upside space. The demand - side power investment has a significant supporting effect, but the weakness of the real - estate chain limits the increase. The repeated expectations of the Fed's policy at the macro - level make the market sentiment cautious. The expected fluctuation range of the SHFE copper main contract is 84,500 - 87,500 yuan/ton, and the central price of LME copper is 10,500 - 10,900 US dollars/ton [3] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Daily Market Summary - Copper Futures Market Data Changes - On November 19, the SHFE copper main contract closed at 86,030 yuan/ton, up 250 yuan/ton from the previous trading day but down 470 yuan/ton from November 13. The premium of flat - water copper widened to 50 yuan/ton, and the discount of wet - process copper remained at - 55 yuan/ton. The LME (0 - 3) discount widened to - 35.33 US dollars/ton, a new high in nearly two weeks [1] - On November 18, the LME copper open interest decreased by 4,891 lots to 319,542 lots, and the LME inventory decreased by 4.14% on a single day. In China, the SMM - monitored spot purchase sentiment index below 86,000 yuan/ton rose to 3.13, and the low price stimulated the release of downstream replenishment demand [1] - Industry Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes - Supply Side: There are both short - term disturbances and long - term increments. The bridge collapse accident at the Kalando copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo may affect local transportation, but the 60kt/a copper smelting project signed by Kefei Technology and the LEDYA Group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the discovery of high - grade ore bodies in the Mt Oxide project in Australia by TrueNorth Copper indicate medium - term supply increments. The end of the maintenance of smelters in North China has put pressure on the spot premium, and the domestic refined copper supply has become marginally looser [2] - Demand Side: Power infrastructure provides strong support. The 100MW wind power project of the Songzi Babao of the National Energy Group has been approved, and the supporting 160MWh energy storage facility will drive the demand for copper materials. The SMM spot purchase and sales sentiment index rose to 3.13/3.26 (purchase/sales), indicating that the rigid - demand buying was active below 86,000 yuan/ton. However, there are no significant signs of recovery in the construction and consumer electronics sectors [2] - Inventory Side: Global visible inventories are differentiated. The LME inventory decreased by 4.1% to 58,352 tons in a week, while the SHFE inventory increased to 140,500 tons, highlighting the domestic visible inventory pressure. However, the SMM inventory in the country's mainstream regions decreased by 0.73 million tons to 19.38 million tons on a month - on - month basis, mainly due to the small amount of imported goods. It is expected that the closure of the import window may continue the de - stocking trend [2] 2.

Industry Dynamics and Interpretations - On November 19, the supply of North China electrolytic copper market will return to normal due to the end of the maintenance of upstream smelters, which has put pressure on the spot premium, and the short - term trading activity in the market tends to heat up [6] - On November 18, Kefei Technology signed a general contract for the 60kt/a copper smelting project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. TrueNorth Copper made significant progress in the new discovery area of the Mt Oxide project in northern Queensland, revealing a continuous copper - cobalt - silver mineralization system [6][7] - On November 17, a bridge at a copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo collapsed, resulting in 49 deaths and 20 serious injuries. As of November 17, the SMM inventory in the country's mainstream regions decreased by 0.73 million tons to 19.38 million tons on a week - on - week basis. It is expected that the weekly copper inventory will decrease slightly in the future [7][8] 4.
