  1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - After the market sentiment eased from the Greenland event in the macro - market last week, copper prices rebounded slightly today. Due to fundamental disturbances and the recurrence of macro - level sentiment, copper prices rose steadily and slightly last week. Affected by the sharp decline of the US dollar today, copper prices gapped up, but the upward trend of Shanghai copper before the Spring Festival is expected to be suppressed due to the weakening of the demand side [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1行情分析 (Market Analysis) - Macro aspect: US President Trump announced a 10% tariff increase on imported goods from 8 European countries starting February 1, 2026, and to 25% starting June 1, to pressure negotiations on Greenland's sovereignty. After he declared not to use force on Greenland, market tensions eased. With the strengthening of the yen, the US dollar declined continuously during the week, supporting non - ferrous metal prices [3]. - Supply aspect: On Thursday, Capstone Copper's Mantoverde copper mine in Chile stopped production due to a strike caused by the failure of collective bargaining between the largest union and the company. The mine's expected cathode copper production in 2025 was 29,000 - 32,000 tons. TC/RC fees remained weakly stable with a further downward trend. SMM estimated that China's electrolytic copper production in January would decrease by 14,500 tons month - on - month (a 1.23% decline) and increase by 156,300 tons year - on - year (a 14.78% increase).
