Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View The current copper price is influenced by both bullish and bearish factors. Bullish factors include the long - term demand growth expectation in the new energy sector and short - term rigid demand support reflected by the spot premium. Bearish factors are the continuous accumulation of global inventories and the slower - than - expected pace of overseas macro - liquidity easing. It is expected that the copper price will maintain a range - bound oscillation in the short term. If there are signs of inventory depletion or better - than - expected downstream consumption, the copper price may break through upwards; otherwise, if the inventory continues to accumulate, the price may fall to the support level [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Futures Market On March 11, 2026, the SHFE copper main contract (CU.SHF) showed a narrow - range fluctuation. The daily change was 0%, with an opening price of 101,430 yuan/ton, a maximum price of 101,930 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 101,000 yuan/ton, and a closing price of 101,150 yuan/ton [2]. 3.2 Spot Market Basis Analysis On March 11, 2026, the domestic spot copper price was slightly higher than the futures main contract price, showing a spot premium. In Guangdong, the含税 price range of 1 copper was 101,200 - 101,390 yuan/ton, with an average price of 101,295 yuan/ton, a premium of 145 yuan/ton compared to the futures closing price. In Shanghai, the spot price of 1 copper was 101,370 yuan/ton, a premium of 220 yuan/ton compared to the futures closing price. The spot premium indicates that the current rigid demand from downstream procurement supports the spot price, and the overall supply of goods in the spot market is tight [3]. 3.3 Market Dynamics - Supply Side: On March 11, 2026, Yunnan Copper announced the completion of issuing shares to acquire a 40% stake in Liangshan Mining and raising supporting funds. After the transaction, Liangshan Mining became a holding subsidiary of Yunnan Copper. The 1.5 billion yuan of raised funds will be used for the construction of the Hongnipo Copper Mine mining and beneficiation project. In the long run, it will improve the domestic copper self - sufficiency rate and increase the expected copper supply in the future, but it has limited short - term impact on the market [4]. - Demand Side: The 4 - gigawatt photovoltaic project in the coal - mining subsidence area of Lingwu, Ningxia was officially put into operation, indicating the continuous progress of China's new energy project construction. As an important raw material in the new energy industry chain (photovoltaic, wind power, energy storage, etc.), the continuous growth of new energy installed capacity will provide long - term support for copper demand [5]. 3.4 Market Outlook The copper price is facing a combination of bullish and bearish factors. Bullish factors are the long - term demand growth in the new energy field and short - term rigid demand. Bearish factors are the continuous accumulation of global inventories and the slower - than - expected pace of overseas macro - liquidity easing. The short - term copper price is expected to oscillate within a range. If there are signs of inventory reduction or better - than - expected downstream consumption, the copper price may rise; otherwise, it may fall [6].
