新能源及有色金属日报：基本面变化相对有限，铜价高位震荡-20251203

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Cautiously bullish [6] - Arbitrage: On hold - Options: Short put [6] 2. Core View of the Report - Currently, the copper price is in a high - level shock. Although the CSPT group's plan to cut production by 10% pushed up the copper price, if smelters actually cut production next year, it may ease the shortage of ore supply to some extent. The resumption of production at the Kamoa smelter increases the pressure on the raw material end, so copper is likely to be in a state where it is easy to rise and difficult to fall. It is recommended to continue to use buy - on - dips hedging as the main strategy [6]. 3.

Important Information Summary - Macro and Geopolitical Aspects: US President Trump plans to announce the next Fed Chairman in early 2026, and it is reported that he has "pre - selected" White House National Economic Council Director Hassett.

Two consortia have entered the final bidding stage. BHP is the main purchaser [4]. - Smelting and Import: Goldman Sachs pointed out at the CESCO Asian Copper Conference that China's copper demand has decreased by 8% year - on - year, while demand in Europe and the US has changed by - 2% and +1% respectively. It is expected that in 2026, refined copper supply will increase by 1.8% and demand will increase by 2%, resulting in a supply surplus of 180,000 tons. AI data centers and energy storage systems have limited impact on copper demand, with demand increments of about 300,000 tons and 50,000 tons respectively in 2026. Tariff policies are a key variable. If the US imposes a 15% tariff, the surplus will flow to the US, causing LME inventories to tighten [4]. - Consumption: During the "14th Five - Year Plan" period, the demand for copper in various terminal fields shows structural differentiation. The power sector is the ballast stone of demand, and wind power, photovoltaic, and energy storage construction will bring significant increments. The construction sector has entered the stock era, and urban renewal, green buildings, and smart homes are new growth points. The transportation sector's electrification transformation is deepening, and new energy vehicles and charging facilities are booming. The home appliance industry benefits from energy - efficiency upgrades and export expansion, and the electronics sector is the fastest - growing field. In 2026, copper demand may only show a slight increase due to a short - term decline in the photovoltaic sector and relatively sluggish real - estate demand [5]. - Inventory and Warehouse Receipts: LME warehouse receipts remained unchanged at 161,800 tons compared with the previous trading day. SHFE warehouse receipts decreased by 927 tons to 30,568 tons.
