沪铜产业日报-20251217

Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is available in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The main contract of沪铜shows a fluctuating trend, with an increase in open interest, a spot discount, and a weaker basis. In the raw material aspect of the fundamentals, the spot processing fee index of copper concentrates remains at a low negative level, and the expectation of tight ore supply will have a long - lasting effect on the copper smelting end, providing cost support. In terms of supply, the price of sulfuric acid, a by - product of smelting, is still relatively good, making up for some profit losses of smelters. Although the operating rate of smelters has rebounded due to the resumption of production after previous maintenance, the increase is only slight due to raw material shortages. In terms of demand, boosted by macro - expectations, the copper price has been strong in the short term, but the high price has suppressed the purchasing sentiment of downstream buyers, who have become more cautious, and social inventories have slightly accumulated. In the options market, the call - put ratio of at - the - money option positions is 1.26, a month - on - month increase of 0.0111, indicating a bullish sentiment in the options market, and the implied volatility has slightly increased. Technically, for the 60 - minute MACD, the two lines are below the 0 - axis and the red bars are expanding. The report suggests light - position short - term long - buying at low prices, while paying attention to controlling the rhythm and trading risks. [2] 3.
