Core Viewpoint - Copper prices are experiencing high volatility, with domestic copper fluctuating between 99,000-105,600 CNY/ton and LME copper between 12,500-13,500 USD/ton, indicating a lack of upward momentum at these absolute highs [3][15]. Macroeconomic Environment - The macroeconomic environment is generally favorable, influenced by geopolitical tensions, including U.S. actions in Venezuela and rising tensions with Iran, which have boosted safe-haven assets like gold and silver, positively impacting non-ferrous metals [4][16]. - The U.S. government's emphasis on its dominance in the Western Hemisphere highlights the strategic value of key mineral resources, particularly copper from major producing countries like Chile and Peru [4][16]. - The weakening of the U.S. dollar and the potential appointment of Rick Riedel as the new Federal Reserve Chair are contributing to a bullish sentiment for precious metals and copper [4][16]. Copper Supply Constraints - Copper supply remains tight, posing a significant constraint in the medium to long term. Negotiations for processing fees for 2026 are ongoing, with Chinese smelters agreeing to a benchmark of 0 USD/ton for copper concentrate [5][17]. - The SMM imported copper concentrate TC index has dropped to -49.79 USD/dry ton, indicating a tightening supply situation [5][17]. - Global copper mine production in November 2025 was reported at 1.923 million tons, a slight decrease from October, with a year-on-year decline of 2.2% [5][17][18]. Refined Copper Production - Global refined copper production in November 2025 was 2.371 million tons, down 3,000 tons from October, with a cumulative increase of 4.2% year-on-year [6][19]. - China's refined copper production for December 2025 was 1.326 million tons, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 9.1% [6][19]. Current Market Conditions - The domestic refined copper inventory has been accumulating, with SMM social inventory rising from approximately 160,000 tons to 330,000 tons [7][20]. - The current state of the market shows a slight backwardation, with the spot price of copper experiencing a small discount due to high prices and subdued demand [7][20]. - The upcoming Chinese New Year is expected to dampen demand, with a potential slowdown in recovery post-holiday [9][21]. Overall Market Outlook - The weakening dollar and geopolitical tensions are providing support for precious metals and non-ferrous metals, although copper prices are experiencing limited upward movement due to high levels and market sentiment [10][22]. - Supply-side constraints persist, with low processing fees and high refined copper production levels, while domestic inventories are accumulating [10][22]. - Overall, while short-term copper prices may be prone to increases, market sentiment can shift rapidly at these elevated levels, necessitating careful position management [10][22].
社会库存重新累积 沪铜涨幅收窄【1月26日SHFE市场收盘评论】
Wen Hua Cai Jing· 2026-01-26 11:03
沪铜早间高开,日内涨幅略有回落,收盘上涨1.26%。早间沪铜走势受贵金属大涨带动,但最近全球铜 显现库存有所增加,高价对铜需求的抑制仍然存在,铜价涨势受限。 最近LME铜库存整体延续回升姿态,目前升至17万吨之上,为去年5月下旬以来最高。国内精铜社会库 存上周四一度停止累积,但高价对下游需求的抑制仍然存在。 对于铜价走势,光大期货表示,近期高铜价影响下,铜消费转弱,累库力度强于近两年,这加大了产业 内的分歧,也一度使得铜存在调整预期,但从周五表现来看,无论是贵金属看涨情绪外溢效应还是从资 金对有色追捧力度,仍维系着铜价易涨难跌的行情。因此当前铜价逻辑已不能简单从基本面来去定价, 更多的需求金融属性的角度去看,整体仍以震荡偏多行情看待。 (文华综合) 截至上周国内铜精矿加工费弱势运行,且最近海外铜矿传来一些干扰消息,铜市矿紧局面仍在延续。国 内冶炼产能继续扩张,去年全年产量再创新高,后续仍需关注矿紧对冶炼端的影响。 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report The report indicates that the valuation of copper is neutral to bearish, with narrowing basis spreads inside and outside the market, narrowing spreads between refined and scrap copper, and continuously increasing global visible inventories. In terms of drivers, the decline in the US dollar index and copper concentrate prices is bullish, while the global manufacturing PMI is slightly bearish. At the price level, the easing of US - EU tensions, the emphasis on strategic resource demand in Germany, the loose domestic policy, and the record - high precious metal prices create a positive sentiment. The copper supply remains tight, with increased short - term disruptions at the mine end, and the demand for refined copper has improved after the price correction. Therefore, although the global visible inventory continues to increase and the LME North American inventory has marginally rebounded, copper prices are expected to fluctuate strongly. The expected trading range for the main SHFE copper contract this week is 99,000 - 105,500 yuan/ton, and for LME copper 3M is 12,600 - 13,500 US dollars/ton [12]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Week - on - Week Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Supply**: The spot processing fee for copper concentrates continues to decline, and the smelting profit is supplemented by the high price of sulfuric acid. The processing fee for crude copper is flat week - on - week.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The price of Shanghai copper opened low and moved low, but turned positive at the end of the session. Since 2026, the sulfuric acid price has slightly corrected, the smelter's profit has narrowed, and the spot processing fee has further weakened. Smelters plan to reduce production this year. The price of Shanghai copper corrected last week, and recycled copper enterprises made low - price purchases. Due to the shortage of copper concentrates and increased losses of copper smelters, scrap copper has gradually become the main source of smelting copper. However, both upstream and downstream are cautious, and the raw material procurement volume is poor. In January, the refined copper output is expected to decline. The downstream's enthusiasm for purchasing copper is low, resulting in a significant increase in copper inventory. The terminal new - energy market performs poorly. Although short - term decline does not mean a long - term trend, subsequent policy subsidies and the New Year's small peak season are expected to improve the production and sales situation. In the short term, as the Spring Festival approaches, downstream enterprises mostly start their holidays, and the copper product sector is cautious in purchasing. The US president's plan to impose tariffs on European countries has an impact, and although the short - term decline of the US dollar is beneficial to copper prices, after continuous price increases, the downstream's resistance is high, and spot sales are sluggish, dragging down copper prices. It is expected that the increase of copper prices will be limited before the Spring Festival holiday without major positive stimuli [1] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Analysis - Since 2026, the sulfuric acid price has slightly corrected, the smelter's profit has narrowed, and the spot processing fee has further weakened. Smelters plan to reduce production this year. The price of Shanghai copper corrected last week, and recycled copper enterprises made low - price purchases. With the shortage of copper concentrates and increased losses of copper smelters, scrap copper has gradually become the main source of smelting copper. Both upstream and downstream are cautious, and the raw material procurement volume is poor. In January, the refined copper output is expected to decline. The downstream's enthusiasm for purchasing copper is low, resulting in a significant increase in copper inventory. The terminal new - energy market performs poorly, with retail sales from January 1 - 11 being 117,000 vehicles, a 38% year - on - year decrease compared to the same period in 2025 and a 67% significant decline compared to the same period in December 2025. Although short - term decline does not mean a long - term trend, subsequent policy subsidies and the New Year's small peak season are expected to improve the production and sales situation. As the Spring Festival approaches, downstream enterprises mostly start their holidays, and the copper product sector is cautious in purchasing. The US president's plan to impose tariffs on European countries has an impact.

It is expected that the increase of copper prices will be limited before the Spring Festival holiday without major positive stimuli [1] 3.2 Futures and Spot Market Conditions - Futures: Shanghai copper opened low and moved low, but turned positive at the end of the session. Spot: The spot premium in East China today is - 150 yuan/ton, and in South China is - 145 yuan/ton. On January 20, 2026, the LME official price was 12,937 US dollars/ton, and the spot premium was + 122 US dollars/ton [4] 3.3 Supply Side - As of the latest data on January 15, the spot rough smelting fee (TC) is - 46.2 US dollars/dry ton, and the spot refining fee (RC) is - 4.80 US cents/pound [6] 3.4 Fundamental Tracking - Inventory: The SHFE copper inventory is 145,600 tons, a decrease of 2,612 tons from the previous period. As of January 19, the copper inventory in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone is 106,100 tons, an increase of 500 tons from the previous period. The LME copper inventory is 156,300 tons, an increase of 8,875 tons from the previous period.

需求持续偏弱,铜价跌破十万关口
Hua Tai Qi Huo· 2026-01-21 05:16
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Neutral [6] - Options: Sell Put [6] 2. Core View of the Report - The imposition of a 25% tariff on certain semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and derivatives by the White House last week affected the market's outlook for non - ferrous metals demand. The copper price was also impacted, but the decline was relatively limited. Given the high copper price, weak downstream demand, and obvious inventory accumulation, the copper price may enter a temporary shock pattern, with an expected shock range of 99,500 yuan/ton to 110,000 yuan/ton [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market News and Important Data 3.1.1 Futures Quotes - On January 20, 2026, the main contract of Shanghai copper opened at 101,020 yuan/ton and closed at 101,230 yuan/ton, a 0.05% increase from the previous trading day's close. During the night session, it opened at 101,020 yuan/ton and closed at 99,930 yuan/ton, a 1.29% decrease from the afternoon close [1]. 3.1.2 Spot Situation - According to SMM, the spot price of SMM 1 electrolytic copper was at a discount of 280 - 20 yuan/ton to the 2602 contract, with an average discount of 150 yuan, a 30 - yuan decrease from the previous day. The spot price range was 100,270 - 101,180 yuan/ton. The main contract of copper futures first rose and then fell in the morning. The current high inventory outflow will suppress the premium, and downstream buyers only purchase on - demand at high copper prices. The spot is expected to maintain a discount pattern [2]. 3.2 Important Information Summary 3.2.1 Macro and Geopolitical Aspects - The Shanghai Futures Exchange will adjust the trading margin ratio and daily price limit for copper, aluminum, gold, and silver futures contracts starting from the close of trading on January 22, 2026. Geopolitically, Trump mentioned alternative measures for tariffs if the current tools are restricted, and the US Supreme Court has not ruled on Trump's tariff - related matters. Canada's military has simulated a US military invasion [3]. 3.2.2 Mining End - In November 2025, Peru's copper production decreased by 11.2% year - on - year to 216,152 metric tons. From January to November, the cumulative copper production increased by 1.6% compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 2.5 million tons. It is expected that Peru's copper production will only slightly increase to about 2.8 million tons in 2025, showing long - term growth challenges [4]. 3.2.3 Smelting and Imports - In December 2025, China's imports of scrap copper were 238,976.87 tons, a 14.83% increase from the previous month and a 9.90% increase year - on - year. Japan and Thailand were the top two sources of imports [4]. 3.2.4 Consumption - Last week, the copper price fluctuated narrowly. Due to the approaching month - end, downstream consumption had limited improvement. Some processing enterprises rushed to export, and the market demand was relatively stable. Downstream enterprises mainly made on - demand purchases at low prices [5]. 3.2.5 Inventory and Warehouse Receipts - LME warehouse receipts changed by 3,850 tons to 156,300 tons compared to the previous trading day. SHFE warehouse receipts changed by - 4,462 tons to 148,193 tons. On January 20, the domestic electrolytic copper spot inventory was 329,400 tons, a change of 8,500 tons from the previous week [5]. 3.3 Copper Price and Basis Data - The table provides data on SMM 1 copper (premium copper, flat - water copper, wet - process copper), Yangshan premium, LME (0 - 3), inventory (LME, SHFE, COMEX), warehouse receipts (SHFE, LME cancellation ratio), arbitrage (CU05 - CU02, CU03 - CU02), and import profit, as well as the Shanghai - London ratio (main contract) from different time points (January 21, 2026; January 20, 2026; January 14, 2026; December 22, 2025) [24][25][26][27]
