1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report 2. Core View of the Report - The main contract of Shanghai copper fluctuated weakly, with a decrease in open interest, spot discount, and strengthening basis. In terms of fundamentals, the spot processing fee index of copper concentrates remained at a low negative level, and the expectation of tight ore supply would continue to support the copper smelting end in the long - term. On the supply side, the price of sulfuric acid, a by - product of smelting, was still good, making up for some profit losses of smelters. The smelter operating rate rebounded slightly due to the resumption of production after previous maintenance, but the increase was small due to raw material shortages. On the demand side, although the copper price was strong in the short - term due to macro - expectations, the high price suppressed the downstream purchasing sentiment, and social inventory increased slightly. In the options market, the call - put ratio of at - the - money options was 1.12, with a month - on - month decrease of 0.118, the market sentiment was bullish, and the implied volatility increased slightly. Technically, the 60 - minute MACD had both lines above the 0 - axis, and the green bars slightly converged. The report suggests light - position oscillatory trading, paying attention to controlling the rhythm and trading risks [2]. 3.
