Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The medium - and long - term upward drivers of precious metals remain unchanged, and the precious metals sector has shown signs of recovery from the sharp decline at the end of January. It is recommended that investors maintain a bullish stance, but strictly control positions to avoid short - term volatility risks [4]. - The callback of precious metals has a reasonable basis, but the hawkish policy stance of the next Fed Chairman has no fundamental impact on the long - cycle bull market of gold. It is expected that gold will rise in the medium and long term, and silver, platinum, and palladium will be stronger than gold in the medium term. Investors are advised to go long after the downward momentum of the precious metals sector weakens, while being vigilant against the medium - term risk that the Fed's tightening of monetary policy may end the precious metals bull market [6]. 3. Summary of Each Section 3.1 Precious Metals Market Conditions and Outlook - **Intraday Market**: London gold fluctuated between $5150 - 5200 per ounce, waiting for clearer guidance. The People's Bank of China's reduction of the foreign exchange risk reserve ratio for forward foreign exchange sales by financial institutions supported the prices of domestic precious metals. Zimbabwe's ban on lithium ore exports pushed up the prices of industrial precious metals such as silver, platinum, and palladium [4]. - **Domestic Precious Metals Market Data**: The closing prices of the Shanghai Gold Index, Shanghai Silver Index, Guangzhou Platinum Index, and Guangzhou Palladium Index increased by 0.12%, 2.22%, 5.81%, and 3.85% respectively. The trading volume and open interest of each variety also changed to varying degrees [5]. - **Medium - term Market**: The determination of the next Fed Chairman reduced the market's demand for safe - haven assets. The callback of precious metals was reasonable, but it did not change the long - and medium - term upward trend. The hawkish policy stance was more favorable to silver, platinum, and palladium compared to gold. Since November 2025, a large amount of investment capital has entered the precious metals market, increasing price volatility. The annualized volatility of gold and silver reached 30% and 80%, respectively [6]. 3.2 Precious Metals Market - related Charts The report presents multiple charts, including the Shanghai and London gold and silver futures and spot indices, the basis of Shanghai futures indices against Shanghai Gold TD, the holdings of gold and silver ETFs, the gold - to - silver ratio, and the correlation between London gold and other assets, with data sources from Wind and the Research and Development Department of CCB Futures [8][10][16]. 3.3 Major Macroeconomic Events/Data - The US International Trade Commission will conduct an investigation to evaluate the economic impact of revoking China's Permanent Normal Trade Relations status, with the results to be announced by August 21st. It will also consider a scenario of gradually imposing partial tariffs on important national security products over five years if Congress revokes the status [17]. - Oman, as a mediator, stated that the US and Iran made significant progress in nuclear - dispute negotiations. Both sides plan to return to their capitals for consultations and resume negotiations soon, with technical - level discussions scheduled in Vienna next week [17]. - The number of initial jobless claims in the US last week increased slightly by 4,000 to 212,000. The labor market remains stable, and the unemployment rate in February is expected to remain unchanged. It is expected that the Fed will not cut interest rates before Chairman Powell's term ends in May [17].

Report Information - Report Title: Copper Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: January 16, 2026 [2] - Researcher: Zhang Ping, Yu Feifei, Peng Jinglin [3] Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - The Shanghai copper market showed a volatile decline, but the decline narrowed in the afternoon as risk appetite recovered. After the market closed, the People's Bank of China announced a 0.25 percentage point cut in the monetary policy tool rate and indicated there is room for further interest rate cuts and reserve requirement ratio cuts this year. The supply of copper is expected to contract, and demand may pick up as copper prices correct. It is expected that the inventory will start to decline next week. Although the short - term spot pressure is increasing, the loose Chinese monetary policy will offset the pressure, and copper prices will oscillate to digest the inventory pressure [10] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Performance**: Shanghai copper fluctuated and declined. Trump postponed the tariff increase on key minerals, leading to significant selling in the metal sector. The main contract of Shanghai copper fell below the trend line. However, risk appetite recovered in the afternoon, and the decline in copper prices narrowed. After the market closed, the central bank cut the monetary policy tool rate [10] - **Spot Market**: The copper spot price dropped by 1340 to 102,575. The spot premium rose to 200, and the monthly spread in the last trading month widened with a stronger premium. The social inventory increased by 2.75 to 32.09 million tons compared to Monday due to the concentrated arrival of domestic copper during the delivery cycle [10] - **Import and Supply Outlook**: The loss of spot copper imports narrowed to 1465. The arrival of imported copper will remain low, and the arrival of domestic copper will also decrease after the delivery. Supply is expected to contract [10] - **Demand and Inventory Outlook**: Demand may pick up as copper prices decline. It is expected that the inventory will start to decline next week. The current spot C - L prices are basically the same. The high inventory in the COMEX market may impact the LME market, and the LME 0 - 3 back structure has declined, increasing short - term spot pressure [10] 2. Industry News - **Jiangxi Copper**: Jiangxi Copper's subsidiary signed an investment option agreement with a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Limited for exploration project cooperation. The signing of this agreement does not constitute a related - party transaction or a major asset restructuring [10] - **Elemental Group**: The largest recycling company in Poland plans to invest $8 billion in two core projects named "Polvolt", with two - thirds of the funds for a copper smelting and refining plant and the rest for a power battery metal refinery.
