1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The copper price remained high and volatile in the early stage, and although there was a slight decline recently, the overall supply - demand pattern is tight, and the long - term price is likely to rise. In the short term, it may be affected by negative factors, but in the long run, it is easy to rise and difficult to fall. The price is expected to fluctuate in the range of 98,000 - 105,500, and attention should be paid to adjusting positions in a timely manner [2][3][21] 3. Summary by Directory Market Review - In 2026, the weighted price of Shanghai copper contracts remained high and volatile, reaching a record high on January 30 and then gradually falling. Despite inventory accumulation, copper showed a strong trend with limited downside space due to weak supply and strong expectations, which was in line with previous reports [2] Market Analysis and Outlook Impact of the Middle East Conflict on Copper Price - The ongoing US - Iran conflict has exceeded market expectations, leading to concerns about the future economy and the resurgence of inflation trading. High oil prices have pushed up energy costs, postponed the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, and may suppress copper prices in the short term. After the war ends and the global economy recovers, market focus will return to the fundamentals [6] - The conflict has made countries reflect on over - reliance on a single energy source, highlighting the strategic value of renewable energy, photovoltaic, and energy storage. The EU plans to invest in innovative nuclear energy technologies, and China's power grid companies have large - scale investment plans, which will increase copper consumption. The开工 rate of copper cable enterprises has rebounded, and the demand for electrolytic copper is expected to remain strong. The new energy vehicle market also shows growth potential, which provides support for copper prices [6][7][8] Global Mineral Competition and the Enhanced Strategic Attribute of Copper - China, as the world's largest copper consumer, relies on overseas imports. Global copper supply has a pattern of mild growth with frequent disturbances and tightening supply expectations [15] - Copper has transformed into a "strategic material". The structural growth in demand from emerging fields such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaic, energy storage, and AI data centers supports copper prices. The US is increasing investment in AI - related infrastructure [16] - The US has launched new strategies for key minerals and a strategic reserve project, which may change the supply - demand balance of the copper market. Although the direct impact of strategic reserves on the overall market scale may be limited, concerns about supply security can significantly affect prices. Currently, only COMEX copper inventory shows a slight de - stocking signal, while LME and SHFE inventories are still increasing. The traditional copper consumption season is approaching, but the recovery of downstream construction and infrastructure projects is slower than expected [18][19][20] Market Summary - In the past two weeks, copper prices have weakened slightly due to the US - Iran situation, a stronger US dollar, and high inventory. However, as the traditional consumption season approaches, downstream consumption is gradually picking up. The overall copper fundamentals are in a pattern of weak supply and strong demand, with strong support at the bottom. High inventory restricts the upward space of copper prices. In the short term, copper prices are expected to remain in a high - level shock, and attention should be paid to the 98,000 - 105,500 range [21]
