Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The Shanghai copper main contract shows a volatile trend, with decreasing positions, spot premium, and strengthening basis. Fundamentally, on the mining side, the copper concentrate TC fee has improved but remains in the negative range, and the domestic port inventory has slightly increased. The tight supply of copper ore still provides cost support for copper prices. On the supply side, due to the increase in newly commissioned production capacity and the high price of by - product sulfuric acid making up for smelting losses, smelters are currently producing actively. However, considering the supply of copper concentrates, the production growth rate may gradually slow down. On the demand side, the impact of the consumption off - season is expected to continue, and the large - scale taxation of copper products by the US will suppress export demand. Therefore, downstream consumption demand may slow down, and the total inventory will remain at a medium - low level. Overall, the fundamentals of Shanghai copper may be in a situation where the supply growth rate gradually slows down and the demand is slightly weak due to seasonal changes and trade tariffs. In the options market, the call - put ratio of at - the - money options is 1.24, with a month - on - month increase of 0.0605, indicating a bullish sentiment in the options market, and the implied volatility has slightly decreased. Technically, for the 60 - minute MACD, the double lines are above the 0 - axis, and green bars have just appeared.
