Group 1: Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Views - Last week, copper prices fluctuated and strengthened. The main reasons were the moderate rebound of the US core PCE in line with expectations, the resilience of the overall US economic demand, the dovish stance of Powell and Fed governors on interest rate cuts, and the concerns about the Fed's policy independence triggered by Trump's attempt to dismiss Fed governor Cook, which weakened the US dollar index and boosted the metal market. Fundamentally, overseas mine shortages persisted, the release of global refined copper new production capacity was limited, domestic social inventories were at a low level, and the near - term structure turned to B again. In the short term, copper prices are expected to fluctuate in a high - level range, and attention should be paid to the pressure at the $10,000 integer mark for LME copper [2][3][8].

Market Analysis and Outlook - **Price Movement Reasons**: The rise in copper prices was due to the moderate rebound of the US core PCE in July in line with expectations, the Fed's dovish stance on interest rate cuts, and the concerns about the Fed's independence caused by Trump's actions. Fundamentally, overseas mine shortages persisted, new production capacity was limited, and domestic inventories were low [8]. - **Inventory Situation**: As of August 29th, the total global inventory rebounded slightly. LME copper inventory increased slightly by 0.3 million tons with a cancellation warrant ratio of 8.2%, SHFE inventory decreased slightly by 0.2 million tons, and Shanghai bonded area inventory decreased by 0.4 million tons. The LME inventory continued to rebound but at a slower pace, and the US copper decline rate slowed down. The Shanghai - London ratio remained at 8.02 due to the weak US dollar index [8]. - **Macro - economic Situation**: In the US, the core PCE in July increased by 2.9% year - on - year and 0.3% month - on - month. The Fed's dovish governor supported a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut in September. The EU and the US reached a tariff concession agreement. Domestically, China's industrial enterprise profits decreased in July and from January to July, but high - tech manufacturing profits grew rapidly [9]. - **Supply - demand Situation**: Codelco's Teniente mine in Chile is expected to cut production by 40,000 tons this year. The underground pumping at the Kamoa - Kakula mine is slow, and the domestic spot TC dropped to -$41.5/ton. China's refined copper production remained high, but non - CSPT smelters began to cut production slightly due to cold material shortages. On the demand side, power grid investment weakened, the start - up rate of refined copper rod enterprises decreased, the consumption of the wind and solar industries was expected to decline, and the new energy vehicle market entered the off - season but still had good year - on - year growth. Domestic social inventories remained at a low level of about 120,000 tons, and the near - term structure turned to B [10]. 3.
