1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report In the next 1 - 2 weeks, the upside space for copper is limited. There is a continuous game between the shortage of recycled copper raw materials and the release of mine production capacity on the supply side, and the resumption of scrap copper trade between China and the US still takes time. On the demand side, post - delivery restocking by downstream enterprises may briefly boost the spot premium, but high copper prices still suppress purchasing willingness. At the macro level, the decline of the US April CPI to 2.3% weakens the support for the US dollar. Overall, copper needs to be wary of inventory pressure and the risk of macro - sentiment switching [6]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Daily Market Summary - **Copper Futures Market Data Changes Analysis** - On May 14, 2025, the price of the SHFE copper main contract rose slightly to 78,630 yuan/ton, a 0.95% increase from the previous day, and the LME copper price also rose to $9,624.5/ton. The spot discount of domestic premium copper widened to - 15 yuan/ton, and the discounts of flat - water copper and wet - process copper deepened to - 40 yuan/ton and - 80 yuan/ton respectively. The LME (0 - 3) premium dropped from $23.87/ton on May 8 to $19.17/ton [1]. - The SHFE copper open interest continued to shrink, with the inventory on May 14 dropping to 185,575 tons, a 2.15% decrease from the previous week, while the LME copper inventory soared to 50,069 tons, a 71.72% increase from the previous period. In terms of trading volume, the trading volume of the BC copper main contract was 16,871 lots, and the open interest increased to 2,471 lots, indicating increased capital activity [2]. - **Analysis of Industrial Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes** - **Supply Side**: In April 2025, the operating rate of Chinese scrap - produced anode copper enterprises decreased by 5.33 percentage points to 44.32% month - on - month due to the shortage of recycled copper raw materials, while the operating rate of mineral anode copper enterprises increased slightly by 2.50 percentage points to 72.40%. The new project of Chifeng Chehugou Copper - Molybdenum Mine (with a reserve of 9 billion tons) and the progress of the Ambler Mining Area Act in Alaska, USA, indicate the potential for medium - and long - term mine production capacity release, but it is difficult to alleviate the supply gap of recycled copper in the short term. The suspension of Sino - US trade has led to a loosening of scrap copper exports, but inventory transfer still takes time [3]. - **Demand Side**: Downstream demand is marginally weakening. Near the delivery date, the purchasing sentiment in the spot market is suppressed by the high monthly spread. In North China, the spot discount widened to 480 yuan/ton, and downstream enterprises generally wait to purchase after the contract change. There is a structural adjustment in the consumer electronics field, such as Solus, a Samsung supplier, accelerating the divestiture of its OLED business to focus on copper foil production, reflecting the industry's long - term bet on copper demand for electric vehicle batteries, but there is no significant boost in short - term demand in the power and construction sectors [4]. - **Inventory Side**: Global inventories are diverging. The LME copper inventory soared by 20,912 tons to 50,069 tons, reaching a phased high; the SHFE inventory continued to decline to 185,600 tons. The COMEX inventory also slightly increased to 165,100 short tons [5]. 3.2 Industrial Chain Price Monitoring | Data Index | May 14, 2025 | May 13, 2025 | May 8, 2025 | Change | Change Rate | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SMM: 1 Copper | 79,060 | 78,270 | 78,560 | 790 | 1.01% | yuan/ton | | Premium Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | - 15 | 5 | - 5 | - 20 | - 400.00% | yuan/ton | | Flat - Water Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | - 40 | - 25 | - 30 | - 15 | - 60.00% | yuan/ton | | Wet - Process Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | - 80 | - 70 | - 75 | - 10 | - 14.29% | yuan/ton | | LME (0 - 3) | - | 19 | 24 | - | - | dollars/ton | | SHFE | 78,630 | 77,890 | 78,070 | 740 | 0.95% | yuan/ton | | LME | - | 9,625 | 9,502 | - | - | dollars/ton | | LME Inventory | 50,069 | 29,157 | 20,084 | 20,912 | 71.72% | tons | | SHFE Inventory | 185,575 | 189,650 | 190,750 | - 4,075 | - 2.15% | tons | | COMEX Inventory | - | 165,112 | 163,458 | - | - | short tons | [8] 3.3 Industry Dynamics and Interpretations - In May 2025, the expected operating rate of scrap - produced anode copper enterprises is 43.62%, a 0.70 - percentage - point decrease month - on - month, mainly affected by the shortage of recycled copper raw materials [9]. - In April 2025, the operating rate of Chinese anode copper enterprises was 53.37%, a 2.80 - percentage - point decrease month - on - month.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The upward trend of Shanghai copper has slowed down, and the rebound momentum since the bottom last week is weakening. Although the short - term Shanghai copper needs to pay attention to the pressure near 76,470, considering the widening of the COMEX spread again, it is expected that the copper price is also difficult to break the downward space [9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Shanghai copper's upward trend slowed down and closed with a negative line. On the last trading day of the 04 contract, the total position decreased by 7,610 lots, and the price difference between the 05 - 06 contracts widened to 100. The macro situation lacks new positive factors, and the positive effect brought by the suspension of US counter - tariffs is almost over [9]. - On the spot market's delivery day, the premium rebounded, but the trading volume was mediocre. The Shanghai - London ratio slightly recovered, but the market trading was still mediocre. The premiums of Yangshan copper warehouse receipts and bills of lading remained unchanged. The COMEX - LME price difference widened to $1,010/ton, and the COMEX inventory continued to increase. The logic of the US imposing tariffs on copper has returned to the market's focus [9]. - Both domestic and foreign copper prices are hovering near the multi - empty line. The domestic spot market's procurement has slowed down under the influence of rising copper prices. The short - term Shanghai copper needs to continue to pay attention to the pressure near 76,470, but considering the re - widening of the COMEX spread, it is difficult for the copper price to break the downward space [9]. 3.2 Industry News - Osisko Metals' preliminary drilling results of its Gaspé copper project in eastern Quebec exceeded expectations. The company is working to expand the resources of the Gaspé copper system, aiming to reopen the former Noranda mine in Murdochville. It plans to obtain a license and start construction in the early 2030s, with an estimated initial capital expenditure of about C$1.8 billion [10]. - Chile's state - owned mining company Enami is negotiating with manufacturers and trading companies interested in financing a smelting project worth over $1.4 billion. Although it seems to have no commercial significance to invest in smelting due to global supply glut, the project is considered feasible because it will use more efficient technology and produce by - products such as gold and sulfuric acid [10][11]. - Jintian Co., Ltd. reported that its operating income in 2024 was 124.161 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 12.36%. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 462 million yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 12.29%. From 2021 to 2024, the company's copper product output had an annual compound growth rate of 8%. In 2024, its total output of copper and copper alloy materials was 1.9162 million tons, accounting for 9% of China's total copper processing materials output.
