1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, copper prices fell from their highs. The main reasons were that the Trump administration might have decided not to impose tariffs on rare earths, lithium, and key mineral resources, NVIDIA's financial report suggested that the previous estimate of copper usage in AI data centers might be overestimated, the strengthening of the US dollar index, and overseas funds taking profits at high levels, which put short - term pressure on the metal market. However, in the medium term, the long - bull logic of the precious metal market provides a solid foundation for the valuation increase of copper prices [2][7]. - In the overall situation, against the backdrop of tariff easing and the market gradually pricing in two expected interest rate cuts this year, some overseas funds are taking profits from long positions. The NVIDIA report's potential overestimation of AI data - center copper usage and the rebound of the US dollar index restrict the upward movement of metals. Fundamentally, overseas mine disruptions continue, domestic refined copper supply is narrowing marginally, traditional industries' consumption drag is obvious, and domestic inventories are continuously increasing. It is expected that copper prices will remain in a high - level range in the short term [2][10]. 3.

After the tariffs were implemented, enterprises' outlook on future economic activities has turned optimistic. The US consumer data is positive, and the inflation data has increased the probability of an interest - rate cut in April to over 40%. Trump's actions have increased market risk - aversion sentiment, driving up the copper - price center.
