Group 1: Report's Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the given reports. Group 2: Report's Core View - The current market for Shanghai copper is in a downstream off - season, and the macro - market sentiment influences the price fluctuations. The Fed's upcoming interest - rate cut meeting has created uncertainty in the market's expectations for next year's rate cuts. After the rate cut is implemented, the market is expected to return to fundamental factors. Although the refined - scrap copper price difference is favorable, the lack of improvement in terminal consumption means this advantage is not obvious. With the continuous increase in copper prices, downstream demand is weak, and production is cautious. There are also factors such as smelter maintenance and changes in inventory levels affecting the market [1]. Group 3: Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Analysis - On December 10, 2025, Shanghai copper opened lower and trended lower, with weak intraday fluctuations. In November, the operating rate of recycled copper rods was 23.84%, higher than the expected 27.68%, down 2.62% month - on - month and 12.46% year - on - year. Four smelters are expected to undergo maintenance in December, with an expected impact of 0.5 tons on production, which will be reflected in January's production data. December's production is expected to increase due to previous restarts. After the continuous rise in prices, downstream demand is insufficient. Copper tube enterprises are cautious due to rising copper prices, and their production increase is limited. The production of copper strips in Steel Union's sample enterprises is 1.49 tons, with a weekly capacity utilization rate of 65.65%. The production rhythm has slowed down, and enterprises are cautious. The operating rate of refined copper rod enterprises has declined, with poor overall sales and inventory accumulation [1]. 2.
