从供给端看，欧佩克+从4月份开始增产。在最新的会议上，欧佩克+同意9月份大幅增产54.8万桶，提前一年退出本轮的减产计 划。同时欧佩克还释放消息称，下个月仍然存在进一步增产的可能。从实际增产数量看，虽然4月和5月份欧佩克+的增产额度并 未超过预期，但是6月份增产幅度基本符合市场预期，暗示后续产油国产量进一步上升将是大概率事件。 黄金方面： 美联储在今年7月份的利率决议上维持当前的利率水平不变，同时美联储主席鲍威尔并没有释放后续降息的信号，金价承压。 不过紧随其后美国公布7月非农就业人数录得增加7.3万人，不及市场预期的11万人；特别值得注意的是美国劳工部将上个月非农 就业人数从原来的14.7万人，大幅下修至1.4万人，这样一来，说明美国5月至7月新增非农就业人口数据远不及市场预期。 另外美国政府的关税政策正在开始发生作用，美国的通胀水平在最近的两个月里面出现了明显的反弹。数据显示，美国CPI未季 调年率已经从4月份的2.3%反弹至当前的2.7%。美国经济出现了"滞胀"的特征。 百利好特约智昇研究资深分析师辰宇认为，当前美国经济陷入滞胀的风险较高，市场押注美联储降息的情绪比较浓厚，黄金价 格存在进一步走高的机会 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The weakening US job market has increased the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut. However, due to the traditional consumption off - season in China suppressing downstream demand, the total inventory of electrolytic copper at home and abroad has been fluctuating upwards. As a result, there may still be room for the Shanghai copper price to decline. It is recommended that investors hold their previous short positions cautiously and pay attention to key support and resistance levels for Shanghai copper, London copper, and US copper [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - **Shanghai Copper Futures**: On August 1, 2025, the closing price of the active contract was 78,400 yuan, up 360 yuan from the previous day; the trading volume was 80,943 lots, a decrease of 28,068 lots; the open interest was 167,671 lots, a decrease of 8,522 lots; the inventory was 20,349 tons, an increase of 727 tons; the average price of SMM 1 electrolytic copper was 78,330 yuan, a decrease of 235 yuan [2]. - **Shanghai Copper Basis and Spreads**: The Shanghai copper basis was - 70 yuan, a decrease of 595 yuan; the spot premium or discount in different regions had different changes, such as a 5 - yuan increase in Guangzhou, a 10 - yuan decrease in North China, and no change in East China; the spreads between different contract months also changed, with the spread between the near - month and the first - continuous contract decreasing by 70 yuan, and the spreads between other contract months having corresponding increases or decreases [2]. - **London Copper**: On August 1, 2025, the closing price of the LME 3 - month copper futures (electronic trading) was 9,633 US dollars, up 26 US dollars from the previous day; the total inventory of registered and cancelled warrants was 0 tons, a decrease of 141,750 tons; the spreads between different contract periods also changed, with the 0 - 3 - month contract spread increasing by 1.51 US dollars and the 3 - 15 - month contract spread decreasing by 15.18 US dollars; the ratio of Shanghai - London copper price was 8.1387, an increase of 0.02 [2]. - **COMEX Copper**: On August 1, 2025, the closing price of the active copper futures contract was 4.443 US dollars, a decrease of 0.19 US dollars; the total inventory was 259,681 tons, an increase of 3,733 tons [2]. Industry News - **Policy Impact**: On July 30, 2025, the US government's decision on the Section 232 investigation of steel led to the exemption of import tariffs on electrolytic copper. The spread between COMEX copper and LME copper collapsed, causing a large amount of electrolytic copper to shift from COMEX warehouses to the LME delivery warehouse in New Orleans [2]. - **Mine Expansion**: Codelco planned to invest $5.7 billion in 2022 to expand the El Teniente mine, including three new ore layers. As of March 31, 2025, the Andes Norte project was 73% complete, the Andesita project was 70% complete and started operation in February 2025, and the Diamante project was 43% complete. The expansion project is expected to contribute 2 - 3 tons of copper production increment in 2025, reaching 15 tons after full - production. The annual output is expected to reach 50 tons after all projects are put into operation [2]. - **Accident**: A Chilean earthquake caused a casualty accident at Codelco's El Teniente copper mine, with 6 people reported dead, and operations in the accident area were suspended for investigation [2]. Market Supply and Demand - **Supply Side**: The production (import) volume of copper concentrates in China in August is expected to increase month - on - month. The import index of Chinese copper concentrates is negative and has increased compared to last week. The departure (arrival, inventory) volume of copper concentrates at Chinese ports has decreased compared to last week. The export restriction of high - quality scrap steel in Europe has limited Chinese importers to purchasing copper rice or brass. Uncertainty in Sino - US tariff negotiations has led to low direct imports of US scrap copper and indirect supply through countries like Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. The negative price difference between domestic electrolytic copper and bright and aged scrap steel has weakened the economic viability of scrap copper, closing the scrap copper import window and potentially reducing the production (import) volume of domestic scrap copper in August. Some copper smelters have suspended production, such as Glencore's PASAR copper smelter in the Philippines with a capacity of 200,000 tons, Zhongkuang Resources' Tsuneb copper smelter in Namibia (annual processing capacity of 240,000 tons of copper concentrates), and Glencore's Altonorte smelter in Chile with a capacity of 350,000 tons. The Congo's moa - Kakula copper smelter is expected to be completed and put into operation in June 2025, with an annual output of 500,000 tons. Liangshan Mining's 150,000 - ton copper reform project is in the pre - work stage, and the second rotary anode furnace of the pyrometallurgical system of the Yunnan Zhongyou Non - ferrous Recycling Copper Resource Recycling Base produced anode copper at the beginning of the month. The weekly processing fee for crude copper in northern (southern) China remained flat (increased) month - on - month, and the capacity of crude copper smelter maintenance in China in August may decrease month - on - month, potentially increasing the production (import) volume of domestic crude copper in August [2]. - **Demand Side**: The traditional consumption off - season in China has suppressed downstream demand [2].

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. labor market is showing significant signs of weakness, with recent non-farm payroll data indicating a sharp decline in job growth, which has heightened expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [1][5][6]. Labor Market Data - In July, non-farm employment increased by only 73,000, far below the expected 104,000, and previous months' figures were revised down by nearly 260,000 [6][8]. - The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.2%, aligning with market expectations [6]. - Over the past three months, the average monthly job growth was only 35,000, marking the worst performance since the COVID-19 pandemic began [1][5]. Economic Implications - The slowdown in job growth and rising unemployment are contributing to risks for consumer and business spending, which are already showing signs of deceleration [5][9]. - The labor market's deterioration is increasing pressure on the Federal Reserve to consider interest rate cuts, especially in light of the conflicting economic signals [7][8]. Sector-Specific Insights - Job losses were particularly pronounced in manufacturing, professional and business services, and government sectors, with federal government jobs decreasing for six consecutive months [8][9]. - Despite the overall job market weakness, demand in other sectors remains relatively healthy, with job vacancies still above pre-pandemic levels [9][10].

Fundamental Analysis - The U.S. White House announced that Trump signed an executive order modifying reciprocal tariff rates for certain countries, imposing a 10% tariff on countries not listed in the order, increasing tariffs on Canada from 25% to 35%, and imposing a 40% punitive tariff on transshipped goods. These measures have strengthened the demand for the U.S. dollar in international trade settlements, indirectly suppressing the monetary appeal of gold [1] - Despite some countries like Brazil and Indonesia receiving tariff exemptions, the overall escalation of trade tensions has not significantly stimulated market demand for gold as a safe haven, suggesting that gold prices may face upward limitations in the short term [1] - Economic data indicates that July's Challenger job cuts reached the highest level for the same period since 2020, and initial jobless claims show signs of labor market weakness. However, June's core PCE inflation unexpectedly rebounded to 2.8%, with consumer spending nearly stagnant, hinting at potential stagflation. This complex economic environment should support gold, but expectations regarding Federal Reserve policy are key suppressive factors [1] - Treasury Secretary Mnuchin indicated that personnel adjustments at the Federal Reserve will be completed by the end of the year, and Trump publicly criticized Powell's policy missteps, suggesting the potential appointment of more hawkish officials. Market expectations for the Fed to maintain high interest rates to combat inflation have risen, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, which may exert downward pressure on gold prices in the short term [1] Technical Analysis - The current gold price is in a downtrend after retreating from its high, with the 4-hour chart indicating a bearish trend. The moving averages MA20 and MA60 are in a bearish arrangement, and the middle band of the Bollinger Bands along with MA20 is exerting pressure on the price [4] - The CCI indicator is near the oversold zone and is turning down, suggesting that the downtrend may continue. The trading strategy for the day is to focus on short positions [4] Market News - Key economic indicators to be released include the UK July Manufacturing PMI final value, Eurozone July CPI year-on-year and month-on-month initial values, U.S. July unemployment rate, U.S. July non-farm payrolls, and various other employment-related metrics [7][8]

Core Insights - The current U.S. tariff policy is projected to increase domestic prices by 1.8% in the short term, resulting in an average additional annual expenditure of $2,400 per American household [1][2] - This price increase is expected to push inflation levels close to double the Federal Reserve's target of 2%, significantly impacting consumer purchasing power, especially for low-income families [2][3] - The indirect effects of the tariff policy may persist for several years, potentially leading to delayed price adjustments and long-term economic consequences, such as reduced investment and job cuts in manufacturing [3][4] Economic Impact - The tariff policy is seen as a double-edged sword, providing short-term protection for certain domestic industries while increasing consumer costs and risking retaliatory measures from trade partners [4] - If the tariff policy continues until 2025, the average annual loss for American households could further escalate, prompting calls for policymakers to reassess the net benefits of tariffs [4] - Rising inflation pressures may compel the Federal Reserve to adopt a more aggressive stance on interest rates, which could hinder corporate investment and job market recovery, exacerbating the risk of economic stagnation [4]
