Report Information - Report Title: "Weak Dollar Trend Leads to Metals Oscillating on the Strong Side —— Weekly Report on Base Metals Copper and Tin of China Merchants Futures on August 10, 2025" [1] - Report Date: August 10, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Ma Yun [2] Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report. Core Viewpoints - In the short - term, the risk appetite in the domestic market remains high due to the upcoming September military parade and the October Politburo meeting, with optimistic market expectations. Overseas, the trend of a weak dollar continues to be traded. Precious metals and base metals were generally strong last week, but due to the simultaneous strengthening of the RMB and the domestic consumption off - season, the pattern of stronger overseas and weaker domestic markets is obvious. It is recommended to buy copper on dips and approach tin with a range - bound trading idea [8]. Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Review - **Price Performance**: In the week from August 4 - 8, metals oscillated on the strong side, with overseas markets stronger than domestic ones. In the Shanghai market, the order of metal performance is aluminum > zinc > lead > nickel > tin > copper. Over the past year, the London Copper Index rose 8.2%, the Shanghai Copper Index rose 6.2%; over the past month, the London Copper Index rose 1.1%, the Shanghai Copper Index rose 0.3%; over the past week, the London Copper Index rose 1.4%, the Shanghai Copper Index fell 0.1% [6]. - **Main Logic**: Last week, the market continued to trade on the expectation of a weaker dollar under the narrative of weak US non - farm payroll data and the replacement of the Fed Chairman with a dovish candidate. The RMB was relatively strong, so the performance of London metals was significantly stronger than that of domestic metals. Additionally, the obvious off - season for domestic demand and the accumulation of base metal inventories also dragged down domestic price performance [6]. 2. Next Week's Viewpoints - **Weekly Logic**: Domestically, with the approaching September military parade and October Politburo meeting, the short - term risk appetite remains high and market expectations are optimistic. Overseas, the trend of a weak dollar continues to be traded. Precious metals and base metals were generally strong last week. However, due to the simultaneous strengthening of the RMB and the domestic consumption off - season, the pattern of stronger overseas and weaker domestic markets is obvious. Microscopically, the tight situation of copper ore continues. Although China's copper production in July still had a high year - on - year growth, there are expectations of summer maintenance for many smelters in August. The low spot premium, flat structure, and inventory accumulation in the domestic market all indicate that demand is in the off - season, but the scrap - refined copper price difference of around 750 yuan also indicates that the valuation of refined copper is low. In the short term, the tin market has low capital attention, limited settled funds, and current supply - demand weakness. The market is concerned about the resumption of production rhythm in Wa State, and the fundamental contradictions are not prominent [8]. - **Recommended Strategies**: Buy copper on dips and approach tin with a range - bound trading idea [8]. - **Next Week's Focus**: China's monetary and credit data, US CPI, and retail sales data [9] 3. Industry Analysis - Copper - **Macro - environment**: CME interest rate futures expect four consecutive 25 - basis - point interest rate cuts. The domestic PPI is expected to be boosted at the bottom. Attention should be paid to China's monetary and credit data and US inflation and consumption data [12][22]. - **Supply**: In July, China's refined copper production increased by 14.2% year - on - year, and copper product imports increased by 9% year - on - year. In June, the scrap copper production decreased by 12% year - on - year [25][27]. - **Demand**: In July, the copper product operating rate was 71.6%, compared with 72.9% in the same period last year. Real estate sales are still weak year - on - year, while power grid investment and integrated circuit demand are on the rise [32][34]. - **Inventory**: The domestic copper inventory is 211,000 tons, with a weekly inventory increase of 10,600 tons [37]. - **Valuation**: The TC decreased by $38 weekly, indicating that the tight situation of copper ore continues. The spot import loss is 245 yuan, and the scrap - refined copper price difference is 784 yuan [40][42]. - **Position**: The net long position of LME funds continued to increase slightly, while the domestic position decreased [48]. 4. Industry Analysis - Tin - **Supply**: In June, the cumulative year - on - year import of tin ore decreased by 32%. The mining license approval in Wa State is completed, but the resumption of production is slow due to the rainy season. In July, the production of tin ingots and recycled tin increased by 0.1% and decreased by 30.7% year - on - year respectively, and the weekly operating rate of two provinces increased by 0.4% [52][56]. - **Demand**: The operating rate of solder is low, while the data of integrated circuits and semiconductors still show positive growth [58]. - **Inventory**: The global exchange inventory of tin is 11,945 tons, with a weekly inventory decrease of 330 tons [61]. - **Valuation**: The processing fee is at a low level. The spot import loss is 16,400 yuan, the premium is 650 yuan, and the London contango is $70 [64]. - **Position**: The net long position of LME decreased slightly, and the market attention is low [70].

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry or Company Involved - The discussion revolves around the capital market and its dynamics, particularly focusing on the stock market in China. Core Points and Arguments 1. **Market Liquidity and Stock Performance** The current market is significantly driven by liquidity, with a strong correlation between M1 and stock market indicators, while the correlation with real economy indicators has weakened. This indicates an elevated status of the capital market as a reservoir for wealth [1][3][10]. 2. **Central Bank Policies** The central bank maintains a loose monetary policy, with liquidity being funneled into the stock market through innovative monetary tools, rather than fully entering the real economy. This has provided upward momentum for stock indices [4][5]. 3. **Market Sentiment** Market sentiment is characterized by active trading of leveraged funds, with margin trading balances exceeding 2 trillion yuan and financing buy-in ratios reaching annual highs. This reflects a high absorption of market sentiment [6][9]. 4. **Sector Performance** The innovative pharmaceutical and computing communication sectors have shown remarkable performance, with short and small pullback cycles and strong upward trends. This indicates a lack of fear regarding high valuations and a continued pursuit of growth [7][17]. 5. **Comparison with 2015 Bull Market** Unlike the 2015 bull market driven by high leverage and rapid retail investor entry, the current market is supported by policy measures aimed at nurturing long-term investments, which may lead to a more stable slow bull market [8][9][15]. 6. **Potential Sources of Incremental Capital** Future sources of incremental capital include the entry of medium to long-term funds driven by policy guidance, the maturation of residents' deposits, and the external spillover of global liquidity due to a weak dollar [10][12][14][16]. 7. **Impact of Residents' Asset Migration** The upcoming peak in maturity for residents' fixed deposits and wealth management products is expected to enhance the attractiveness of the stock market, potentially providing additional liquidity [12][13]. 8. **Global Liquidity Trends** A weak dollar trend may accelerate the spillover of global liquidity, which could strengthen global risk assets, particularly emerging market assets [14]. 9. **Future Market Outlook** The overall upward trend of the market is expected to remain stable, with a gradual transition to an earnings-driven phase as economic conditions improve [15][16]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Policy Initiatives** Recent policy initiatives aim to enhance the stability and scale of capital market investments, focusing on long-term capital inflow and improving the investment environment for institutional investors [11]. 2. **Sector Focus for Investment** Investors are encouraged to focus on sectors with significant growth potential, including technology, innovative pharmaceuticals, and new consumption trends, as well as thematic investments in advanced technologies [17].
