新华财经北京4月30日电（记者王小璐）29日，安泰科2025年（第十六届）有色金属市场报告会在北京 召开。分析师认为，受全球铜矿供应收缩与能源转型需求拉动双重驱动，2025年铜价或将延续高位震荡 格局，铜价全年均价有望突破2024年水平，长期上行趋势未改。 有色金属市场波动品种分化显著 安泰科高级分析师王晓旭表示，从基本面来看，2024年全球铜冶炼产能扩张遭遇矿端供应收缩，支撑铜 价高位运行。2025年一季度在以旧换新消费政策和风光抢装潮等因素刺激下铜消费好于预期，但外部环 境的冲击与不确定性会对铜消费带来负面影响。综合来看，铜作为能源转型的关键支撑材料，长期上行 趋势没有被破坏，预计2025年度铜均价高于2024年。 安泰科铝事业部经理申凌燕表示，2024年，中国电解铝供应和需求均实现了超预期增长，全年产量4346 万吨，同比增长4.3%；消费量4518万吨，同比增长5.5%。2025年以来，错综复杂且多变的宏观及行业 情况使得电解铝价格剧烈波动，整体呈"N"字型走势。后市来看，供应受限支撑铝价的逻辑仍然存在， 但出口下降、国内需求环比有转弱风险，同时成本重心继续下移，价格上涨空间或受压制，整体将表现 为前 ...

点击上图▲立即报名 文 / 巴九灵（微信公众号：吴晓波频道） 1917年，李大钊在《甲寅》日报上发表了一篇短文，痛陈生活与社会之浮躁： 盖今世之生活，泰半倚于过度。衣食之享用过度也，戚友之酬应过度也，物质之销耗过度也，精 神之劳役过度也。 以有限之精力，有限之物质，应过度之要求，肩过度之负担，鲜不气竭声嘶，疲于奔命。 面对这样的大环境，李大钊说： "除道义外，一切事物皆嫌过多。" 这句话该如何理解？ "道义"这个词，出自《易经·系辞上》，原句为"成性存存，道义之门"，是孔子对《易经》哲学观的深刻阐 述。 孔子将"成性存存"视为"道义之门"的入口，大意是只有成全和保护万物的本性，才能打开通往道德和正义的 大门。 由此便不难理解，李大钊所谓的"道义"，其实是在呼唤一种"向内求"的生活哲学。 外界越是浮躁，我们越应该回归本源，把心安好。 正如稻盛和夫所说："经营者的哲学和公司的业绩是并行的关系，如果想要拓展经营，首先必须要提高经营 者自身的心性。" 不如听"禅"去： 以内心不变应世间万变 当前世界正经历百年未有之大变局，我们所面临的波动、变化和冲突是前所未有的，不确定性成为一种生活 常态。如果着眼于外界，我们似乎永 ...
