Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The domestic downstream refined copper rod enterprises' operating rate declined, and the tight supply situation in the spot market has eased. The downstream mainly made rigid purchases, and the trading volume was average. The domestic refined - scrap copper price difference narrowed slightly, the supply of recycled raw materials remained tight, and the operating rate of recycled copper rod enterprises rebounded slightly [11]. - The spot processing fee of copper concentrate increased slightly, the processing fee of blister copper remained flat month - on - month, and the supply of cold materials was marginally stable. Teck Resources cut its copper production target for this year to 47 - 52.5 tons, with the average value 2 - 3 tons lower than the previous target [12]. - The total inventory of the three major exchanges increased by 0.4 tons month - on - month. The inventory of SHFE decreased by 1.1 to 7.3 tons, the inventory of LME increased by 0.6 to 12.9 tons, and the inventory of COMEX increased by 0.8 to 22.6 tons. The inventory in Shanghai Bonded Area increased by 0.2 tons. The spot premium in Shanghai was 125 yuan/ton over futures on Friday, and the LME market's Cash/3M was at a discount of 53.7 dollars/ton [12]. - The spot import loss of domestic electrolytic copper expanded slightly, and the Yangshan copper premium increased. In June 2025, China's refined copper imports were 33.7 tons, and the net imports were 25.8 tons, a year - on - year increase of 71.1%. From January to June, the cumulative imports were 188.6 tons, and the net imports were 158.4 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.3% [12]. - The basis of the domestic and foreign markets fluctuated weakly, the refined - scrap copper price difference narrowed, and the global visible inventory increased. The valuation of copper was neutral to bearish. In terms of drivers, the increase in copper concentrate processing fees had a neutral impact on copper prices, while the weakening of the US dollar index and the recovery of the global manufacturing PMI were bullish drivers. There were several major macro - events this week, including the Politburo meeting in China, the Fed's interest - rate meeting, and the implementation of US copper tariffs. If the tariffs are strictly enforced, they will put pressure on SHFE copper and LME copper. Industrially, the tight supply of copper raw materials remains, but due to the seasonal weakness in downstream demand and the expected increase in imports, the upward movement of copper prices is limited, and it is expected to be mainly volatile and weak [13].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoint The report indicates that although the domestic anti - involution measures have little impact on copper, the market sentiment is still bullish. The hydropower project brings an optimistic outlook for downstream demand, and the US dollar has weakened in the past two days, so the copper market is bullish. As the tariff implementation date approaches, attention should be paid to the tariff situation [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Strategy Analysis - On July 18, the State Council Information Office announced a new round of non - ferrous metal stability and growth plan. On July 19, the hydropower project on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River started, with a total investment of about 1.2 trillion yuan and a construction period of about 20 years [1]. - As of July 18, 2025, the spot smelting fee was - 43.16 dollars/dry ton, and the spot refining fee was - 4.31 cents/pound.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The current off - season characteristics of the copper market's fundamentals are still obvious, and macro - policies dominate the copper price trend. Domestic anti - involution and key industry growth - stabilizing policies drive the short - term strengthening of copper prices. The Trump 232 tariff policy currently has limited impact on domestic copper prices, but subsequent macro uncertainties need attention [5] 3. Summary by Related Contents 3.1 Supply and Demand - The copper concentrate processing fee TC remains in the negative range, at a historically extremely low level. Downstream cable orders have not improved significantly. The short - term start - up of copper rods in the processing link has rebounded but is lower than the seasonal level of last year. Due to the decline in copper prices, the order volume of downstream enterprises has increased, and the operating rate of refined copper rod enterprises has risen to 77.22%. However, downstream consumption is not optimistic as the increase in the operating rate is mainly due to the resumption of production after previous shutdowns. The machine - operating rate of the enameled wire industry has decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 80.8%, and the newly received order volume has decreased by 0.37 percentage points, mainly affected by the off - season of home appliance consumption. The spot market of copper concentrate has seen few transactions this week. After the price decline, although the market's purchasing enthusiasm has improved, overall, it is still mainly for rigid demand due to the off - season [4] 3.2 Macroeconomic Situation - China's Q2 GDP increased by 5.2% year - on - year, slightly higher than market expectations. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology plans to introduce a growth - stabilizing work plan for ten key industries, which will promote these industries to adjust the structure, optimize supply, and eliminate backward production capacity. On Friday night, copper, aluminum, lead, and nickel all rose by more than 1%. The US overall CPI annual rate in June rose to 2.7%, the highest since February, in line with market expectations, and the expectation of interest rate cuts has decreased. The US retail sales in June increased by 0.6% month - on - month, far higher than the market - expected 0.1%. As the impact of tariffs is passed on to consumer prices, Fed officials have different opinions on interest rate cuts [4] 3.3 Market Review - Last week, the main contract of Shanghai copper showed weak and volatile trends at the beginning of the week. Affected by macro factors, it strengthened at the night session on Friday, recovering the decline at the beginning of the week. The closing price of 78,410 yuan/ton was basically the same as that of the previous Friday [6]

Group 1: Copper Price Trends - In the first half of the year, copper prices experienced two significant upward trends, starting with a rise due to a weakening US dollar, followed by a sharp decline influenced by tariff policies, and then a recovery to stabilize around 78,500 yuan/ton [1] - The market is expected to focus on macroeconomic data and Federal Reserve monetary policy, with limited negative impact from tariff policies on the macro market [2] Group 2: Supply and Refining Dynamics - New copper mines such as Sierra Gorda and Toromocho are set to commence production mid-year, but the global supply of copper concentrate remains tight [3] - Domestic smelting plants are anticipated to undergo a peak maintenance period from September to November, which will likely tighten the domestic spot market and elevate copper prices [3] Group 3: End-User Consumption - Cable manufacturing has shown a recovery in operating rates, but rising copper prices are exerting production pressure on these companies [4] - The air conditioning industry is expected to see a seasonal production increase in the second half of the year, while the automotive sector is projected to experience a production boost starting in July [4] - Overall, copper prices are expected to be driven by fundamentals, with supply and demand exhibiting a synergistic effect, leading to a potential upward trend [4]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report The good economic data in the United States supports the price of copper. The strong retail sales data and the decline in the number of initial jobless claims last week in the US led to the rise of the US dollar and the US stock market, with the S&P and the Nasdaq closing at new highs [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Copper Fundamental Data - **Futures Prices**: The closing price of the Shanghai copper main contract was 77,850, with a daily decline of 0.15%, and the night - session closing price was 78,260, with a night - session increase of 0.53%.

The imports of unwrought copper and copper products in June were 464,000 tons, and the cumulative imports from January to June were 2.633 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 4.6% [1]. 3.3 Other Industry News - Azerbaijan's copper concentrate production soared nearly 12 times in the first half of this year, reaching about 1,200 tons, much higher than only more than 100 tons in the same period last year [3]. - India continued to impose counter - subsidy duties on continuously cast copper wires from four countries including Indonesia [3]. - Vedanta Resources Ltd.'s copper mine in Zambia plans to renovate its smelter to increase production [3]. 3.4 Trend Intensity The trend intensity of copper is 0, indicating a neutral stance, with the trend intensity ranging from - 2 (most bearish) to 2 (most bullish) [3].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article highlights the significant impact of the newly activated LME warehouse in Hong Kong on copper inventory data, indicating a notable change in market dynamics [1] - The article discusses the pressure on copper prices due to the U.S. imposing additional import tariffs on copper, which could affect market sentiment and pricing strategies [1] - Despite the tariff pressures, domestic demand for copper remains strong, suggesting potential resilience in copper prices moving forward [1]

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Name: Copper Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: July 17, 2025 [2] Group 2: Research Team - Researchers: Zhang Ping, Yu Feifei, Peng Jinglin [3][4] Group 3: Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Market Performance: Shanghai copper continued to trade in a narrow range, with total positions decreasing by 12,976 lots. The volatility of copper prices decreased, leading to an increase in the sentiment of capital leaving the market. After the contract rollover, the spread between contracts further narrowed, with the 08 - 09 spread narrowing to 10. The spot premium dropped 40 to 95, and the domestic futures - spot premium collapsed, increasing the expectation of inventory accumulation. The LME 0 - 3 contango narrowed to 48, and LME inventories increased by 10,525 tons, with a 5,975 - ton increase in the new Hong Kong warehouse. Both the Shanghai and London markets continued to accumulate inventories due to the impending US tariffs, and the tight spot situation continued to ease, weakening the support of the spot end for copper prices. However, the medium - term supply and demand remained strong. The US CPI showed inflation resilience, and the probability of no interest rate cut in July fluctuated little, with short - term macro - level fluctuations also decreasing. [11] - Forecast: It is expected that copper prices will operate within the previous trading range. [11] Group 4: Industry News - Mining Accident: On July 15, 2025, a fume poisoning accident occurred at the Luojiahe Copper Mine of Wulong Industrial Co., Ltd. in Yuanqu County, Yuncheng, Shanxi, resulting in 3 deaths [12]. - LME Standard Warehouse Receipts: Cathode copper of two brands, Luanshya CLM and Daye DJ - B, under the group company traded by Zhongse International Trade Co., Ltd. obtained LME registered copper standard warehouse receipts, which are the first batch of LME copper standard warehouse receipts after the establishment of the LME delivery warehouse in Hong Kong. GKEML has successfully completed the first batch of LME warehouse receipts for copper, nickel, and tin [12][13]. - Company Outlook and Production: Antofagasta, a Chilean copper mining company, is optimistic about the medium - term prospects of copper. Its revenue guidance for this year remains unchanged. In the second quarter of 2025, copper production was 160,100 tons, a 3% increase; gold production was 48,300 ounces, a 13% increase. It is expected that copper production will increase quarter - by - quarter for the rest of the year. Molybdenum production in the second quarter was 4,400 tons, a 42% increase quarter - on - quarter [12]. - Protest Suspension: Peruvian informal miners suspended their more than two - week - long protest on Tuesday. A protest leader, Luis Huaman, said they plan to suspend the protest until at least Friday while continuing to pressure the government to introduce more favorable regulations for informal mining [12].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - In the short term, copper prices will remain in a low - level oscillation within the range of 76,500 - 78,500 yuan/ton. Supply - side factors such as smelting capacity release and inventory accumulation pressure suppress prices. The demand - side only has marginal support from power infrastructure, but its realization is lagged. Additionally, the strengthening of the US dollar and geopolitical risks on the macro - level suppress market risk appetite, resulting in insufficient upward drivers for copper prices. Attention should be paid to the implementation rhythm of domestic policies and changes in overseas liquidity expectations in the future [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Daily Market Summary 3.1.1 Copper Futures Market Data Change Analysis - **Main Contracts and Basis**: On July 15, the price of the SHFE main contract slightly declined to 78,330 yuan/ton, and the LME copper price also dropped to 9,643.5 US dollars/ton. The foreign market discount significantly widened, and the liquidity of the overseas spot market was under pressure. In the domestic market, the premium copper remained at par, but the spot discounts of flat - water copper and wet - process copper widened to - 50 yuan/ton and - 115 yuan/ton respectively, with weak downstream purchasing willingness [1]. - **Positions and Transactions**: The LME copper position slightly shrank, the COMEX copper inventory increased to 236,454 short tons, and the domestic SHFE warehouse receipts increased by 1,578 tons to 109,625 tons. The spot trading activity was insufficient, and the market's divergence on the long - term supply - demand expectations intensified [1]. 3.1.2 Analysis of Industrial Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes - **Supply Side**: Domestic smelting capacity is continuously being released, and raw material supply is relatively loose. However, CSPT suspended the processing fee guidance for the third quarter, which may squeeze smelter profits and inhibit the short - term capacity release rhythm [2]. - **Demand Side**: The demand expectation of domestic power infrastructure is boosted by the UHV project plan, but short - term downstream consumption is weak. The expansion of spot discounts and fluctuations in monthly spreads indicate a low actual purchasing sentiment, especially in the construction and consumer electronics sectors where demand has not improved [2]. - **Inventory Side**: Global visible inventories are continuously accumulating. The LME inventory suddenly increased by 47% to 34,379 tons, and the SHFE inventory also increased to 147,600 tons. The inventory accumulation pressure is prominent, confirming that the current supply - demand structure is relatively loose [2]. 3.2 Industrial Chain Price Monitoring | Data Index | July 15, 2025 | July 14, 2025 | July 9, 2025 | Change | Change Rate | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SMM: 1 Copper | 78,300 | 78,600 | 78,810 | - 300 | - 0.38% | yuan/ton | | Premium Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | 165 | 0 | 0 | 165 | - | yuan/ton | | Flat - Water Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | 110 | - 50 | - 50 | 160 | 320.00% | yuan/ton | | Wet - Process Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | 15 | - 115 | - 120 | 130 | 113.04% | yuan/ton | | LME (0 - 3) | - 48 | - 62 | - 22 | 14 | 22.23% | US dollars/ton | | SHFE Price | 77,930 | 78,330 | 78,470 | - 400 | - 0.51% | yuan/ton | | LME Price | 9,658 | 9,644 | 9,663 | 14 | 0.15% | US dollars/ton | | LME Inventory | 50,133 | 34,379 | 23,307 | 15,754 | 45.82% | tons | | SHFE Inventory | 110,475 | 109,625 | 108,725 | 850 | 0.78% | tons | | COMEX Inventory | 238,264 | 236,454 | 234,204 | 1,810 | 0.77% | short tons | [5] 3.3 Industry Dynamics and Interpretations - On July 15: The 150,000 - ton/year anode copper transformation project of Liangshan Mining is in the pre - work stage; the 125,000 - ton/year cathode copper refining project of Liangshan Copper is accelerating, aiming to start trial production by the end of the year [6]. - On July 14: In June 2025, China imported 2.35 million physical tons of copper ore concentrates, a year - on - year increase of 1.71% and a month - on - month decrease of 1.9%.
