避险情绪降温，伦铜见顶回落

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the copper price reached a peak and then declined, mainly due to the rapid cooling of the global market's risk - aversion sentiment. The proposed monetary policy framework of Kevin Warsh, the newly nominated chairman of the Federal Reserve, may boost the US dollar index in the medium - term. The market's divergence became more obvious after the prices of gold, silver, and copper hit record highs. Some long - position funds in precious metals took profits and switched to other assets. Fundamentally, the tight supply pattern at the mine end continued, the output of domestic smelters declined marginally, the global visible inventory continued to rise, the premium of domestic trade spot widened, and the C - structure of the near - month futures contract expanded [2][8]. - Overall, Warsh's monetary policy framework may boost the US dollar to a certain extent, causing the global capital market's risk - aversion sentiment to decline significantly. The long - position funds in gold and silver took profits at high levels, triggering a sell - off. However, the structural imbalance in copper's fundamentals can still support the price center in the medium - term. It is expected that the copper price will decline in the short - term, and the fluctuation range will continue to expand [3][10]. 3.

Market Analysis and Outlook - Price Fluctuation Reasons: The decline in copper price was due to the cooling of risk - aversion sentiment, the potential boost to the US dollar from Warsh's monetary policy, and the profit - taking of precious - metal long - position funds. Fundamentally, the supply at the mine end was tight, domestic smelter output declined, inventory increased, and the spot premium and futures structure changed [2][8]. - Inventory Situation: The global copper inventory continued to rise. The LME copper inventory increased, and the proportion of cancelled warrants decreased; the SHFE inventory increased; the Shanghai Bonded Area inventory decreased. The decline in the Yangshan copper warrant was due to the traditional consumption off - season and import losses [8]. - Macroeconomic Factors: The Federal Reserve maintained the interest rate, and Powell mentioned possible policy relaxation. The US consumer confidence index declined, and the US - Iran conflict escalated. Domestically, the release of the Qwen3 - Max - Thinking model will promote the development of the data center, and the "14th Five - Year Plan" grid investment will support copper consumption [9]. - Supply - Demand Situation: The copper production of some global mining companies declined or was expected to decline, and the domestic refined copper supply had marginal contraction pressure. In terms of demand, traditional industries were affected by high copper prices, while emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaic, and AI data centers provided new consumption momentum [10]. Industry News - Southern Copper: Due to the decline in ore grades at its core mines in Peru and the focus on increasing silver production, the company expects its copper production to decline in 2026 - 2027. It is estimated to be 91.14 tons in 2026 and "slightly over 90 tons" in 2027, compared with 95.427 tons in 2025 [12]. - Antofagasta: Its 2025 copper production was 65.37 tons, a 1.6% year - on - year decline, not meeting the performance guidance.

It expects 2026 production to be between 810,000 and 870,000 tons, and aims to increase annual production to about 1.6 million tons by 2035, subject to potential changes from mergers and acquisitions [14].
