Core Viewpoints - The domestic futures market showed mixed performance on January 9, 2026. Palladium led the gainers, while polysilicon suffered the most significant losses. Stock index futures generally rose, and bond futures mostly declined. Different commodities had their own supply - demand situations and price trends affected by various factors such as geopolitical events, production changes, and policy announcements [7][8] 3. Summary by Commodity Commodity Performance - As of the close on January 9, palladium rose over 6%, low - sulfur fuel oil and SC crude oil rose over 3%, and fuel oil rose over 2%. Among the decliners, polysilicon dropped over 8%, and沪镍 and BR rubber declined over 2%. Stock index futures like IF, IH, IC, and IM all rose, while bond futures TS, TF, T, and TL mostly fell. In terms of capital flow,中证 2603,中证 1000 2603, and沪深 2603 had capital inflows, while沪铜 2602, polysilicon 2605, and 30 - year treasury bond 2603 had outflows [7][8] Market Analysis - **Copper (沪铜)**: After a significant rise in the past two days, it declined. The strike at a Chilean copper mine may reduce production by 70%. In December 2026, China's electrolytic copper production increased. The downstream copper products market is in the year - end settlement period, and the copper foil market has stronger demand. With high inventory and weak follow - up procurement, copper is expected to have limited downward adjustment [10] - **Lithium Carbonate**: It reached a high and then declined. A research team made a major breakthrough in lithium resource separation technology. In December 2025, production increased, and the inventory is accumulating. Although there are some policies to support the terminal market, the upward momentum is weakening [12] - **Crude Oil**: OPEC + decided to maintain the production plan and suspend the increase in February and March 2026. The US crude oil inventory decreased unexpectedly, but the refined oil inventory increased. The overall oil inventory is rising, and the market still worries about demand. The situation in Venezuela and Iran may affect oil prices, and the price is in a weak oscillation [13][14] - **Asphalt**: The supply decreased, with a decline in the start - up rate and expected production in January 2026. The downstream start - up rate mostly dropped, and the inventory rate rose. The US military action in Venezuela may affect domestic asphalt production and cost. The price is expected to fluctuate significantly [15][17] - **PP**: The downstream start - up rate decreased slightly, and the enterprise start - up rate increased slightly. The cost is affected by the weak oil price. With new production capacity and reduced downstream orders, the upward space is limited, and the L - PP spread is expected to narrow [18] - **Plastic**: The start - up rate remained stable, and the downstream start - up rate increased slightly. New production capacity was put into operation, and the agricultural film season is ending. The upward space is limited, and the L - PP spread is expected to narrow [19][20] - **PVC**: The upstream calcium carbide price is stable. The supply - side start - up rate increased, and the downstream start - up rate had a slight change. The export orders decreased, and the inventory is high. It is recommended to wait and see in the traditional off - season [21][23] - **Coking Coal**: The price showed a weak oscillation. The Mongolian coal supply may slow down, and domestic production increased. After the fourth round of coke price cuts, the fifth round is less likely to be implemented. The coking enterprises increased inventory, and the steel industry has a low - load operation expectation [24] - **Urea**: It opened low and closed down. The supply increased as the shutdown devices resumed production. The market trading activity decreased, and the inventory started to accumulate. It is expected to oscillate in the short term [25][26]

The strike at a copper - gold mine in Chile and the profit situation of copper smelters affect the supply side. The demand from downstream copper products is cautious, but the copper foil market has strong demand. The supply - demand balance drives the copper price up, and although the upward momentum weakened today, the strong logic remains unchanged [8]. 3.2.2 Lithium Carbonate - Lithium Carbonate continued to rise nearly 5% today. Multiple departments held a symposium on the battery industry, and some companies raised prices. However, the supply - demand structure has not changed. The production in December 2025 increased, and downstream demand decreased. With a high - macro - sentiment and anti - involution expectations, the price continued to strengthen [10]. 3.2.3 Crude Oil - OPEC + decided to maintain the production plan and suspend production increase in February and March 2026. The overall oil inventory in the United States is increasing, and the market is worried about demand. The global crude oil market is in a supply - surplus situation, and the oil price is in a weak and volatile state [11][12]. 3.2.4 Asphalt - The asphalt production rate decreased, and the expected production in January 2026 decreased. The downstream demand is affected by factors such as funds and weather. The geopolitical situation in Venezuela affects the supply of raw materials for domestic asphalt production. It is recommended to wait and see and pay attention to the Venezuelan situation [13]. 3.2.5 PP - The downstream start - up rate of PP decreased, and the enterprise start - up rate was at a low level.

Report Overview - **Report Title**: Shanghai Copper Daily Report: Medium and Long - Term Uptrend Remains Intact - **Release Date**: January 7, 2026 - **Reporting Institution**: Guantong Futures Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoint - The medium - and long - term upward trend of Shanghai copper remains unchanged. Although the upward momentum has weakened and the upward sentiment has cooled after several days of rising, the strong logic remains intact. The supply - demand tight balance drives copper prices up, with the market's risk - aversion sentiment and demand expectations boosted by the geopolitical conflict in Venezuela, and concerns about the supply side intensified by mine accidents [1]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Analysis - The upward speed of copper prices slowed down today. The market opened high and closed higher, with a gain at the end of the session. On January 2, Capstone Copper, a Canadian copper miner, announced a strike at its Mantoverde copper - gold mine in Chile, with production expected to drop by 70%. In 2026, copper smelters cannot make profits through long - term contracts, and the spot market remains weakly stable. By - products such as sulfuric acid and gold have become the main profit points. In December, SMM's electrolytic copper production in China increased by 7.5 tons month - on - month (a 6.8% increase) and 7.54% year - on - year. The cumulative production from January to December increased by 137,200 tons year - on - year (an 11.38% increase). Downstream copper products are mostly in the year - end accounting period, and procurement has become more cautious after the continuous rise in copper prices. The copper foil market has stronger demand than other copper products due to the booming terminal market, and AI computing power and technology concepts support copper prices. The impact of purchase tax on the new energy vehicle market and its potential transmission to the raw material end should be monitored [1]. 2. Futures and Spot Market Conditions - **Futures**: Shanghai copper opened high and closed higher, with a gain at the end of the session [4]. - **Spot**: The spot premium in East China was - 60 yuan/ton, and in South China it was - 10 yuan/ton.

Commodity Analysis Copper - A strike at a Canadian copper mine in Chile is expected to cut production by 70%. In 2026, copper smelters face profit challenges in long - term contracts, with by - products like sulfuric acid and gold becoming key profit sources. China's electrolytic copper production in 2024 increased both monthly and annually. Demand from downstream copper products is mixed, with the copper foil market being strong. Geopolitical factors and supply - demand dynamics support copper prices in the long - term, but short - term corrections are possible [9]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate rose sharply and hit the limit due to positive news, including price increases by two phosphate - iron - lithium companies. However, the supply - demand structure remains unchanged, with production increasing in December 2025 and downstream demand contracting. The market is in a stage of strong expectations but weak reality, so a price drop should be guarded against [11]. Crude Oil - OPEC+ decided to maintain the output plan in February and March 2026. The US crude oil inventory decreased more than expected, but refined oil inventory increased. The US production is at a high level. Geopolitical factors, such as the US - Venezuela conflict and the EU's sanctions on Russia, bring uncertainties. The market is in a supply - surplus situation, but geopolitical events may stimulate price hikes [12][13]. Asphalt - The asphalt production rate declined last week, and the January 2026 production plan is lower than the previous month and the same period last year. The downstream demand is affected by funds and weather. The US military action in Venezuela may affect the supply of heavy oil for domestic refineries. The price is expected to be volatile, and it is recommended to wait and see [14][16]. PP - The downstream PP operating rate is at a low level, and the enterprise operating rate and the production ratio of standard products have decreased. The inventory is at a neutral level. With an oversupply of crude oil and weak prices, the new production capacity and declining downstream orders limit the upward space of PP prices. The L - PP spread is expected to narrow [17]. Plastic - The plastic operating rate decreased on January 6. The downstream PE operating rate is low, with the agricultural film season ending. The inventory is at a neutral level. New production capacity has been put into operation, and the weak demand limits the upward space of plastic prices. The L - PP spread is expected to fall [18][19]. PVC - The PVC operating rate increased, but the downstream operating rate decreased. The export price declined, and the social inventory is high. The real estate market is still in adjustment. New production capacity has been added, and it is recommended to wait and see during the traditional demand off - season [20]. Coking Coal - Coking coal prices fell on the day. The coking coal options will be listed on January 16, 2026. The supply may decrease as some mines approach the end - of - year production target, and the Mongolian coal imports will slow down. The downstream demand is weak, and the overall supply - demand is weak. Attention should be paid to the linkage effect of the black series [22]. Urea - Urea prices rose and then fell. The upstream factories raised prices due to positive market sentiment. The supply is abundant, with production resuming. The agricultural demand is in the off - season, and the industrial demand is limited by environmental protection. The inventory is decreasing, but the market may be over - rising, so a correction should be guarded against [23][25].
