Report Title - "Macro and Industrial Tailwinds Drive Copper Prices Higher with Volatility: November Copper Monthly Report" [1] Report Date - November 7, 2025 [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In October, copper prices rose significantly, with a monthly increase of 4.69%. Supported by macro - positive factors and fundamentals, copper prices are generally strong. In the short term, copper prices will fluctuate at a high level under the joint promotion of macro and fundamental factors. After the subsequent macro - sentiment is gradually digested and high copper prices drag down downstream demand, copper prices will enter a stage of oscillating correction. However, due to the tight supply of copper mines, the downside space for copper prices is limited [5][92] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - In October, copper prices rose significantly, with a monthly increase of 4.69%. As of October 31, the closing price of Shanghai copper was 87,010 yuan/ton. Macro - positive factors were released, and the fundamentals supported copper prices. Although domestic consumption was suppressed by high copper prices, long - term demand in new energy, power, and AI computing still existed [5] 2. Macro - factor Analysis Overseas Macro - US inflation growth slowed down in September. The CPI and core CPI growth rates were lower than expected. The "small non - farm" data declined in September, and new ADP employment in October exceeded expectations, indicating a recovery in the employment market.

The operating rate of recycled copper rod enterprises was low. The operating rates of copper plate and strip, copper tube, copper foil, and copper rod in September were 66.02%, 67.68%, 82.17%, and 45.10% respectively. High copper prices suppressed downstream demand [46][49] Terminal Demand - From January to September, the investment in power grid projects was 437.8 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 9.9%, and the investment in power source projects was 598.7 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 0.6%. The growth rate of new installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic slowed down. In September, the real estate completion area increased, but new construction and sales were still sluggish. The real estate industry was still at the bottom - grinding stage, dragging down downstream demand. In September, the production of automobiles and new energy vehicles increased year - on - year, and the high - growth trend of new energy vehicles continued. The production growth rate of household appliances remained stable [52][55][60] Inventory - As of October 31, the copper inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 11.61 tons, a month - on - month increase of 17.58%.

The net long positions of LME copper investment companies and credit institutions decreased significantly, and the net long positions of COMEX copper asset management institutions stopped updating [77][78] 4. Technical Analysis - Technically, the price center of Shanghai copper has continued to rise. After breaking through the historical high of 89,000, it has pulled back and is currently oscillating and adjusting around 86,000. In the short term, there is still a possibility of adjustment, with an operating range of 84,000 - 90,000 [85] 5. Outlook for the Future - Macroscopically, Sino - US trade frictions have eased, and the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle is not over. Fundamentally, copper mine supply is tightening, and downstream demand is suppressed by high prices. In the short term, copper prices will fluctuate at a high level and then enter a correction stage. Due to the support of tight supply, the downside space for copper prices is limited. It is recommended to close long positions at high levels and wait and see or go long on dips [91][92]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided on industry investment ratings in the reports. 2. Core Views Copper - After the expectations of interest rate cuts and tariff benefits are realized, the short - term driving force is weak. In the medium and long term, the supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the bottom center of copper prices, but short - term rapid increases may suppress demand. The main contract should pay attention to the support at 86,000 - 86,500 yuan/ton [1]. Aluminum - Cost support shows signs of bottoming, but the domestic social aluminum ingot inventory increases, and the operating rate of aluminum processing enterprises declines. The price may fluctuate between 20,500 - 20,800 yuan/ton, and there is a risk of a pullback [3]. Alumina - The price is expected to maintain a weak oscillation. Attention should be paid to the supply recovery progress of Guinea bauxite, the actual impact of domestic environmental protection policies on production, and the inventory depletion rhythm [3]. Casting Aluminum Alloy - Supported by cost and a tight supply - demand balance, the ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong oscillation, with the main contract reference range of 20,400 - 21,000 yuan/ton [5]. Zinc - In the context of concerns about LME zinc squeezing and a warm macro - environment, zinc prices show a short - term strong oscillation, but the fundamentals provide limited upward momentum. It may maintain a range - bound oscillation, with the main contract reference range of 22,300 - 23,000 yuan/ton [9]. Tin - Considering the strong fundamentals, a strategy of buying on dips is recommended. The follow - up should focus on macro changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter [11]. Nickel - The macro situation is stable, and the market sentiment is weak. The fundamentals are generally flat, and the medium - term supply is expected to be loose, restricting the upward space of prices. The main contract is expected to oscillate in the range of 118,000 - 126,000 yuan/ton [13]. Stainless Steel - Policy and macro - driving forces are gradually weakening, the supply - side pressure remains, and demand improvement is insufficient. The short - term disk is expected to continue to oscillate weakly, with the main contract operating range of 12,500 - 13,000 yuan/ton [14]. Lithium Carbonate - In November, the supply - demand change is expected to be limited. With strong demand expectations, the price decline space is limited. The price is expected to oscillate widely, with the main contract reference range of 80,000 - 85,000 yuan/ton [17]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The improvement in Sino-US tariff situation meets the daily report's rebound expectation. It is not recommended to increase positions, and partial profit-taking can be considered. Attention should be paid to the freight rates in November [1]. - The tariff issue has shown a marginal effect, and the current core is the direction of spot freight rates. The main contract may be in the process of bottoming out. It is recommended to participate lightly or wait and see [3]. - Although the mutual reduction of Sino-US tariffs is beneficial to the market to some extent, the freight rates in November may not reach the previously announced increase, suppressing the upward movement of the market. Under the game between long and short positions, the market is generally in a weak and volatile state. Attention should be paid to tariff policies, the Middle East situation, and spot freight rates [3].

Core Viewpoint - Copper prices have reached a new high in 2023 due to a combination of supply disruptions and monetary easing, with a shift from a balanced supply-demand scenario to a shortage [1][4] Supply Factors - Major copper mines such as Kamoa-Kakula, El Teniente, and Grasberg have faced partial or complete shutdowns since 2025, leading to a global copper supply shortage [1] - Domestic copper concentrate processing fees (TC) have dropped to a historical low of -42.6 USD/dry ton, indicating fierce competition for copper resources among smelters [1] - Despite the decline in TC, large smelters maintain cash flow due to good returns from by-products like sulfuric acid, but potential price drops in these by-products could lead to cash flow losses and temporary production cuts [1] Demand Factors - Global refined copper consumption from January to August 2025 reached 18.83 million tons, a 5.9% year-on-year increase, with China accounting for 10.62 million tons, up 11.05% [2] - The recent rise in copper prices to over 80,000 CNY/ton has had a mild suppressive effect on downstream demand, contrasting with previous price surges where demand feedback was more negative [2] - The market's perception of acceptable copper prices is gradually increasing as supply tightens [2] Macroeconomic Influences - The expectation of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is a key macro driver supporting copper prices, with two potential cuts anticipated by the end of the year [3] - Recent U.S. CPI data indicates manageable inflation, reinforcing market expectations for Fed rate cuts [3] - The COMEX copper market is experiencing a premium over LME copper, attracting copper inflows into the U.S. and tightening supply in non-U.S. regions [3] Overall Market Outlook - A robust fundamental backdrop and expectations of monetary easing support upward trends in copper prices, with supply shortages unlikely to reverse in the short term [4] - Strong demand from sectors like electricity and renewable energy provides marginal growth [4] - The market needs to monitor macroeconomic factors such as tariff policies and overseas interest rate changes, as these could significantly impact copper prices in the short term [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views of the Report - Copper: The mid - to long - term supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the copper price's bottom center. In the short term, rapid price increases may suppress demand. The main focus is on the 84,000 - 85,000 support level [2]. - Aluminum: The macro environment is generally positive, and the fundamental situation is stable, jointly supporting the aluminum price. It is expected that the Shanghai aluminum will maintain a strong sideways movement in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 20,800 - 21,400 yuan/ton [4]. - Aluminum Oxide: It is expected that the short - term alumina price will remain under pressure, with the main contract oscillating between 2,750 - 2,950 yuan/ton, but the downward space is gradually narrowing [4]. - Aluminum Alloy: Cost support and supply - demand balance push the price up, but high inventory and policy uncertainty restrict it. The short - term ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong sideways movement, with the main contract reference range of 20,300 - 20,900 yuan/ton [5]. - Zinc: The zinc price has short - term support at the bottom, but the fundamentals have limited elasticity for the continuous upward movement of Shanghai zinc. It may maintain a sideways movement, and upward breakthrough requires significant improvement in demand and continuous improvement in non - recessionary interest - rate cut expectations [10]. - Tin: Supported by strong fundamentals, the tin price continues to oscillate at a high level. The short - term price range is 275,000 - 285,000 yuan/ton. Future performance depends on macro changes and the recovery of supply in Myanmar [12]. - Nickel: The macro outlook is optimistic, which may boost the price, and the ore price is firm, providing cost support. However, inventory accumulation exerts pressure, and the medium - term supply is expected to be loose, restricting the upward space of the price. The disk is expected to oscillate within a range, with the main reference range of 120,000 - 128,000 yuan/ton [14]. - Stainless Steel: The macro outlook is average, the peak - season demand boost is insufficient, and the arrival of goods at steel mills may increase next week. The fundamentals are generally weak. The short - term disk is expected to oscillate weakly, with the main operating range of 12,500 - 13,000 yuan/ton [16]. - Lithium Carbonate: The fundamentals are clearly improving. The strong demand in the peak season is gradually being realized, and the industry is continuously destocking. The price has support at the bottom. The short - term disk is expected to move strongly, with the main reference range of 76,000 - 83,000 yuan/ton [19].
