1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in January is low, and the short - term macro support for Shanghai copper is weak. The potential merger of mining giants Rio Tinto and Glencore may increase their control of the global copper resource supply share to 15%, highlighting the tightness in the copper mine segment. There are concerns about the US advancing the proposal of refined copper tariffs, which may disrupt the balance of copper resources in other regions. The downstream spot demand is suppressed by high - priced copper, resulting in a structure of strong expectations but weak reality for copper. With the increase in copper prices, the downstream's acceptance of high prices may improve. Copper is expected to have a phased correction and a long - term upward trend [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Analysis - **Macro aspect**: The US added only 50,000 non - farm jobs in December, below the expected 65,000, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.4%.

China's CPI in December 2025 increased by 0.8% year - on - year, and the core CPI increased by 1.2% year - on - year [3]. - **Supply aspect**: In 2026, copper smelters cannot profit from long - term contracts, and the spot market is weak. The by - products such as sulfuric acid and gold are the main profit points. The refined copper production is expected to decline in January, with 5 smelters planning to stop production and one delayed commissioning [3]. - **Demand aspect**: The terminal demand is growing strongly, but the copper products segment is cautious. High prices and the expectation of year - end holidays slow down the raw material procurement. Copper inventories have increased significantly. As of January 9, the Shanghai Futures copper inventory was 111,200 tons, a weekly increase of 36%; the cathode copper inventory was 180,000 tons, a weekly increase of 24.22% [3]. 3.2 Shanghai Copper Price Trend - This week, Shanghai copper fluctuated and rose.

The market still worries about crude oil demand as the U.S. ISM manufacturing index in December 2025 slightly decreased and has been below 50 for 10 consecutive months. Middle East exports have increased, and global floating crude oil storage is high, resulting in an oversupply of crude oil [4]. - Trump said that Venezuela will transfer 30 - 50 million barrels of oil to the U.S., and Chevron is increasing the transportation of Venezuelan crude oil.

The statement from Trump about Venezuelan oil transfer and U.S. control measures led to a weak and volatile crude oil price.
