Core View of the Report The copper futures price is expected to maintain a volatile pattern in the next one to two weeks, with a price range of 90,000 - 94,000 yuan/ton. The expansion of new production capacity on the supply side increases supply pressure, the weak demand side restricts the upside space, and the macro - sentiment is cautious with a risk of correction [3][55]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Daily Market Summary Copper Futures Market Data Change Analysis - **Main Contract and Basis**: On December 17, the SHFE main contract price rose slightly to 92,630 yuan/ton, a 0.83% increase from the previous day.

On December 17, KMS electrolytic copper became an LME - registered brand, adding an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons, and Glencore acquired the Quechua copper project in Peru to increase regional production capacity. However, there is a local supply shortage, such as the tight supply of recycled brass in Ningbo [2]. - **Demand Side**: The demand side is weak.
