1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Cautiously bullish [7] - Arbitrage: On hold - Options: short put @ 79,000 yuan/ton 2. Core View of the Report - Recently, there have been frequent disruptions on the copper supply side, with continuously low TC prices. The scrap copper industry is in a policy pain - period with unstable supply. Although current demand is not outstanding, it is not as pessimistic as expected in the middle of the year. The "Golden September and Silver October" expectation may affect market sentiment. With the approaching Fed interest - rate meeting and a high probability of a September rate cut, the current copper price may maintain a volatile and upward - biased pattern. One can conduct buy - hedging on dips between 79,000 yuan/ton and 79,500 yuan/ton [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market News and Important Data 3.1.1 Futures Quotes - On September 16, 2025, the main SHFE copper contract opened at 80,890 yuan/ton and closed at 80,880 yuan/ton, down 0.07% from the previous trading day's close. The night - session main SHFE copper contract opened at 81,010 yuan/ton and closed at 80,900 yuan/ton, up 0.02% from the afternoon close of the previous day [1]. 3.1.2 Spot Situation - According to SMM, on the previous day, the SMM 1 electrolytic copper spot was quoted at a premium of 10 - 140 yuan/ton to the current 2510 contract, with an average of 75 yuan/ton, down 5 yuan/ton from the previous day. The electrolytic copper price ranged from 80,880 to 81,360 yuan/ton. The SHFE 2510 contract dropped from 81,380 yuan/ton in the morning to around 80,700 yuan/ton before noon. The cross - month spread was close to par, and the import loss was about 500 yuan/ton. After the copper price fell below 81,000 yuan/ton, the downstream's willingness to fix prices increased slightly. In the Shanghai area, the procurement and sales sentiment indexes were 3.09 and 3.11 respectively. Some brands in the spot market were in short supply, with the mainstream transaction premium at 10 - 50 yuan/ton, and the wet - process copper at a discount of about 40 yuan/ton. It is expected that the short - term copper price will remain in a high - level shock, and the spot premium may continue the stalemate [2]. 3.1.3 Important Information Summary - Overseas macro: The US Senate approved the nomination of Milan as a Fed governor by a narrow margin of 48 to 47 votes, and President Trump signed the appointment document. Milan can participate in this month's Fed interest - rate meeting and has the right to vote, which may lead to market doubts about the Fed's independence. The US Court of Appeals ruled that Fed governor Cook could continue to serve, rejecting the Trump administration's emergency application to dismiss her. The White House spokesman said the Trump administration would appeal the court's ruling [3]. - Tariffs: The US Department of Commerce announced that the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has established a process to include more steel and aluminum derivatives in the tariff scope authorized by President Trump under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. It will also consider the industry's request to impose tariffs on more imported auto parts in the next few weeks [3]. - Mine end: On September 16, according to the memorandum of understanding signed and announced in February 2025, Anglo American has reached an agreement through its Chilean subsidiary Anglo American Sur (AAS) and Codelco to formulate a joint mining plan for their adjacent Los Bronces and Andina copper mines in Chile. Once the relevant licenses are in place, the joint mining plan will increase copper production by 2.7 million tons in 21 years, expected to start in 2030. The expected annual additional copper production is 120,000 tons, with a 15% reduction in unit cost compared to independent operation and minimal incremental capital expenditure. The transaction is expected to generate a pre - tax net present value increase (NPV) of at least $5 billion, with the benefits shared equally by both parties [4]. - Smelting and import: Chile, a major copper - producing country, expects that despite setbacks at two major copper mines, this year's copper production will still increase, providing some relief to the tight global market. Although there were problems at Codelco's No. 1 mine and a tailings issue at a Teck Resources company, BHP Group's large Escondida mine had a 11% year - on - year production increase in the first half of this year, the Collahuasi mine will get out of the low - grade ore situation, and the El Salvador mine after major maintenance has started to increase production. The mining minister, Aurora Williams, said that copper production is still expected to increase in the next two years and reach a record 6 million tons by 2027 [5]. - Consumption: According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers on September 11, from January to August 2025, China's automobile production and sales totaled 21.051 million and 21.128 million units respectively, with year - on - year increases of 12.7% and 12.6%. Compared with the first seven months, the production growth rate remained flat, and the sales growth rate increased by 0.6 percentage points. From January to August, the production and sales of new energy vehicles totaled 9.625 million and 9.62 million units respectively, with year - on - year increases of 37.3% and 36.7%. The new - energy vehicle sales accounted for 45.5% of the total new - vehicle sales [5]. 3.1.4 Inventory and Warehouse Receipts - LME warehouse receipts decreased by 1,325 tons to 150,950 tons from the previous trading day. SHFE warehouse receipts increased by 3,049 tons to 33,692 tons. On September 15, the domestic electrolytic copper spot inventory was 154,200 tons, an increase of 9,900 tons from the previous week [6]. 3.2 Strategy - Copper: Cautiously bullish. One can conduct buy - hedging on dips between 79,000 yuan/ton and 79,500 yuan/ton. - Arbitrage: On hold. - Options: short put @ 79,000 yuan/ton [7][8]. 3.3 Copper Price and Basis Data | | | 2025 - 09 - 17 | 2025 - 09 - 16 | 2025 - 09 - 10 | 2025 - 08 - 18 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Spot (Premium/Discount)** | SMM: 1 copper | 75 | 80 | 90 | 180 | | | Premium copper | 125 | 110 | 125 | 210 | | | Flat - water copper | 50 | 50 | 40 | 150 | | | Wet - process copper | - 35 | - 70 | - 40 | 15 | | | Yangshan premium | 56 | 58 | 61 | 55 | | | LME (0 - 3) | - 62 | - 73 | - 81 | - 94 | | **Inventory** | LME | 150,950 | 152,625 | 155,275 | 155,600 | | | SHFE | 94,054 | | 81,851 | | | | COMEX | 282,903 | 281,669 | 277,398 | 244,093 | | **Warehouse Receipts** | SHFE warehouse receipts | 33,692 | 30,643 | 19,081 | 24,560 | | | LME cancelled warehouse receipt ratio | 11.25% | 13.46% | 14.25% | 7.41% | | | CU12 - CU10 (Continuous - third - near - month) | 0 | - 100 | - 60 | | | | CU11 - CU10 (Main - near - month) | 0 | - 60 | - 30 | - 110 | | **Arbitrage** | CU11/AL11 | 3.86 | 3.85 | 3.84 | 3.81 | | | CU11/ZN11 | 3.63 | 3.63 | 3.60 | 3.51 | | | Import profit | - 229 | - 139 | 5 | 145 | [30][31][32]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View The report suggests that due to uncertainties in the Fed's future rate - cut amplitude, the arrival of the traditional consumption peak season but the high copper price suppressing potential demand, the Shanghai copper price may experience adjustments [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data Overview - **Shanghai Copper Futures**: On September 16, 2025, the closing price of the active contract was 80,880, down 60 from the previous day; the trading volume was 88,548 hands, an increase of 19,677 hands; the open interest was 165,216 hands, a decrease of 14,040 hands; the inventory was 33,692 tons, an increase of 3,049 tons [2]. - **Shanghai Copper Basis and Spot Premium**: The Shanghai copper basis was 240 on September 16, 2025, up 240 from the previous day. The SMM 1 electrolytic copper average price was 81,120, up 180 from the previous day [2]. - **London Copper**: The LME 3 - month copper futures closing price (electronic trading) on September 16, 2025, was 10,117, down 72 from the previous day. The LME copper futures 0 - 3 - month contract spread was - 59.26, up 2.67 from the previous day [2]. - **COMEX Copper**: The closing price of the active copper futures contract on September 16, 2025, was 4.6991, up 0.05 from the previous day. The total inventory was 312,868, an increase of 2,381 from the previous day [2]. Supply - Demand - Inventory Analysis - **Supply**: There are disturbances in the production of multiple copper mines at home and abroad, leading to a negative China copper concentrate import index and a decrease compared to last week. The supply - demand expectation of scrap copper is tight, causing the processing fees of domestic blister copper or anode plates to decline. Copper smelters' maintenance capacity in September increased month - on - month. Some small and medium - sized smelters in the DRC reduced production in September 2025 due to water - power supply shortages, and the Zambian government plans to restrict the export of sulfuric acid to the DRC [2]. - **Demand**: The expectation of the traditional consumption peak season has led to a recovery in demand in some copper - processing industries. However, high copper prices have made downstream enterprises mainly consume existing inventories and only make rigid - demand purchases [2]. - **Inventory**: China's electrolytic copper social inventory increased compared to last week; LME electrolytic copper inventory decreased compared to last week; COMEX copper inventory increased compared to last week [2]. Trading Strategy - For previous long positions, take profits at high prices or wait for the price to fall before laying out long positions. Pay attention to the support level around 77,000 - 79,000 and the resistance level around 81,000 - 83,000 for Shanghai copper. For London copper, pay attention to the support level around 9,600 - 9,900 and the resistance level around 10,200 - 10,500. For US copper, pay attention to the support level around 4.3 - 4.5 and the resistance level around 4.8 - 5.0 [2].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Cotton: ★★★, indicating a more distinct long - term trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities [1] - Pulp: ☆☆☆, suggesting that the short - term long/short trend is in a relatively balanced state, and the current market is less operable, with a focus on waiting and seeing [1] - Sugar: ☆☆☆, similar to pulp, short - term balance and low operability [1] - Apple: ★☆☆, showing a bias towards a short - term trend, with a driving force for price movement but limited market operability [1] - Timber: ★★★, representing a clear long - term trend and good investment opportunities [1] - Natural Rubber: ★★★, also indicating a distinct long - term trend and suitable investment opportunities [1] - 20 - rubber: ☆☆☆, short - term balance and low operability [1] - Butadiene Rubber: ☆☆☆, short - term balance and low operability [1] Core Views - The report analyzes the market conditions of various soft commodities including cotton, pulp, sugar, apple, timber, natural rubber, 20 - rubber, and butadiene rubber, and provides corresponding investment suggestions based on supply - demand relationships, price trends, and macro - economic factors [2][3][4] Summary by Commodity Cotton & Cotton Yarn - Zhengzhou cotton prices rose slightly today, while cotton spot sales were poor and mostly stable. Xinjiang cotton is likely to have a bumper harvest, with potential output exceeding 7 million tons. There may be a rush for purchasing by ginning mills, but the impact is expected to be controllable. The current hand - picked seed cotton purchase price is around 7.5 yuan/kg, considered high by many ginning mills. The pure - cotton yarn market had average trading, with cautious market sentiment and weak downstream orders. Macroeconomically, details of Sino - US trade negotiations should be watched. Short - term Zhengzhou cotton prices will likely remain volatile, and it is advisable to wait and see [2] Sugar - Overnight, US sugar prices were weak. In the short term, Brazilian sugar production decreased year - on - year, reducing supply pressure. In the medium term, the sugar - alcohol ratio, although down significantly, remains at the upper end of the historical range, suggesting a potentially high sugar - making ratio in Brazil next year. US sugar faces upward pressure. Domestically, Zhengzhou sugar prices declined. This year's sugar sales were fast, with lower inventory and less spot pressure. The market's focus has shifted to imports and the next season's production estimate. Syrup imports decreased significantly this year, reducing the sales pressure on domestic sugar. However, the 25/26 season's production is uncertain due to potential weather impacts [3] Apple - Futures prices fluctuated. The demand for early - maturing apples was good, and spot market expectations for the opening price of late - maturing apples in October were high. However, the estimated apple production in the 25/26 quarter will change little year - on - year, lacking bullish drivers on the supply side. In Shaanxi, farmers are more optimistic, and the expected cold - storage inventory in the new season may be higher than expected. Short - term futures prices are expected to decline, and a bearish trading strategy is recommended [4] 20 - rubber, Natural Rubber & Synthetic Rubber - Today, RU, MR, and BR prices fluctuated sharply. The futures market sentiment was positive. The domestic natural rubber spot price was stable, and the synthetic rubber price increased slightly. The global natural rubber supply has entered the high - production season, with excessive rainfall in most Southeast Asian regions. Last week, the domestic butadiene rubber plant operating rate dropped significantly, while the upstream butadiene plant operating rate continued to rise. The domestic tire operating rate increased significantly last week, with a slight decrease in all - steel tire inventory and a slight increase in semi - steel tire inventory. The total natural rubber inventory in Qingdao decreased to 586,600 tons, while the domestic butadiene rubber social inventory rose to 134,000 tons, and the upstream butadiene port inventory dropped to 256,000 tons. Overall, demand has recovered, with an increase in natural rubber supply and a decrease in inventory, and a decrease in synthetic rubber supply and an increase in inventory. Cost support is limited. It is recommended to wait and see and closely monitor the Fed's interest - rate decision [5] Pulp - Today, pulp futures prices declined slightly. The spot price of coniferous pulp was adjusted upward, while the price of broad - leaf pulp remained stable. As of September 11, 2025, the inventory of mainstream pulp ports in China was 2.062 million tons, a decrease of 4,000 tons from the previous period, a 0.2% decline. The inventory is still at a high level year - on - year. The digestion of warehouse receipts is slow, and the warehouse receipts of Russian coniferous pulp still suppress the near - month contracts. China's pulp imports in August 2025 were 2.653 million tons, a decrease of 227,000 tons from the previous month. Macroeconomically, the CCPI in August was - 0.4% year - on - year and flat month - on - month, indicating weak inflation this year. The PPI showed marginal improvement, but the over - capacity in the mid - and downstream sectors hindered the price transmission. Currently, the domestic port inventory is high, pulp supply is relatively abundant, and demand is average. It is advisable to wait and see or trade within a range [6] Timber - Futures prices fluctuated, and the spot price remained stable. Last week, the timber arrival volume decreased significantly. The New Zealand radiata pine price in September dropped by $2. The domestic spot price is weak, reducing traders' import willingness. The high foreign price also makes it difficult for the domestic price to improve, increasing traders' pressure, and imports are unlikely to increase significantly in the short term. The domestic supply is expected to remain low. Demand is entering the peak season, but the export volume has not increased significantly. During the off - season, the daily出库 volume exceeded 60,000 cubic meters, and inventory reduction was smooth. The total log inventory is low, with less inventory pressure. Fundamentally, the supply - demand situation has improved, and the spot price is relatively low. However, the peak - season demand has not yet started, and short - term upward momentum is insufficient. It is recommended to wait and see [7]
