Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, as the beginning of China's 15th Five - Year Plan, with the global monetary easing expectation, the new Fed chairman taking office, and Trump's mid - term election approaching, the macro - environment is generally positive. The shortage of copper concentrates at the mine end, the anti - involution of the smelting industry, and the continuous siphoning of global copper inventories by the US at the spot end provide strong support for copper prices. The competition in the fourth industrial revolution between China and the US has brought a huge power gap, and the demand for green copper in photovoltaic and new energy vehicles is on the rise, leading to an expanding global refined copper supply - demand gap. The strategic value and price center of copper are steadily rising. It is recommended to hold copper long positions, use trailing stop - loss protection, be cautious about chasing high prices, and mainly try to go long on dips. Be vigilant against the risk of a high - level correction due to insufficient demand after the fading of macro - sentiment [2]. - In mid - 2026, when Powell steps down, the short - term macro - positive factors will be realized and the traditional off - season will begin, so copper may face high - level adjustment pressure, but the long - term trend remains unchanged. Industrial customers should flexibly adjust the hedging ratio, lock in reasonable profits, strictly manage positions, and control risks. In the medium - to - long - term, copper is highly regarded as an important strategic resource and a substitute for precious metals in asset allocation, considering the tight supply of copper concentrates and the booming demand for green copper [3]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: 2025 Market Review - In 2025, the copper market rebounded from the bottom at the beginning of the year due to Trump's weaker - than - expected tariff policy, the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, and the pre - heating of the Two Sessions in China. In February, the lower - than - expected inventory accumulation during the Spring Festival and the increasing overseas mine disturbances pushed copper prices up. In March, Trump's escalating threat of imposing import tariffs on copper, the widening price difference between COMEX and LME, and the rumor of domestic smelter production cuts led to a sharp rise in copper prices, with hot money pouring into the market [5]. - In April, after the implementation of the copper tariff exemption, there was a rush to exit among long - position holders, and copper prices plunged. Subsequently, as Sino - US relations eased and the global economic recession concern weakened, copper prices oscillated and recovered. In June, due to the resurgence of the war in the Middle East and the continuous decline of LME copper inventories, copper prices rose against the seasonal trend [6]. - In July, Trump's new tariff threat caused copper prices to oscillate and fall back. In August, after the exemption of refined copper from the 50% tariff, COMEX copper prices plummeted, and the price difference between COMEX and LME narrowed sharply. In September, the expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut led to a rise in copper prices, but then they pulled back. In late September, the mine accident in Indonesia's Grasberg and the increasing expectation of a shortage of copper concentrates, along with other macro and micro factors, drove copper prices to a high after the National Day. From November to December, the overall macro - sentiment was positive, and copper prices continued to rise, reaching new highs at the end of the year [7][8]. Chapter 2: Macro Analysis 2.1 Global Economic Moderate Recovery and Asia - Pacific Geopolitical Conflict Risks - From 2025 to 2026, the global economy shows a trend of "overall slowdown in growth, differentiation among major economies, and moderate recovery in trade". The global economic growth rate is expected to slow slightly from 3.2% in 2025 to 3.1% in 2026. Major economies such as the US, China, the Eurozone, and India have different economic growth trends and inflation situations. Central banks around the world have shifted their monetary policies from tightening to easing [11][12]. - The global situation is turbulent, and geopolitical risks are increasing. The military use of copper may increase due to the global arms race. In 2025, the geopolitical risk in the Asia - Pacific region has increased significantly. If the Taiwan Strait risk breaks out in 2026, copper prices may rise further due to supply security concerns and the explosion of military copper demand [13][14][18]. 2.2 Trump's Copper Tariff TACO Review: Will Copper Tariffs Make a Comeback in 2026? - In 2025, Trump listed copper as a "national security vital resource" and proposed a series of copper tariff policies, which had a significant impact on the global copper market. The implementation or non - implementation of these policies led to large fluctuations in copper prices and the price difference between COMEX and LME. Trump's tariff policies have reshaped the global copper trade flow, accelerated the regionalization of the copper supply chain, and increased the uncertainty of the market. In 2026 - 2027, the US may impose selective tariffs on refined copper imports from some countries [19][20][30]. 2.3 AI Bubble Concerns and the "Iron Chain of Ships" of US Tech Giants - In 2025, the growth of US copper consumption is mainly driven by grid transformation, the explosion of data centers, and the return of manufacturing industries. Data centers have become an important and rapidly growing area for copper consumption. However, there are concerns about the AI bubble, and the investment in AI in the US may face challenges such as unclear commercialization and over - dependence on a single company. In 2026, China is expected to start the era of AI application, which will strengthen the long - term demand for copper [32][34][38]. 2.3 The Fed's Powell's Final Act: Weaker Dollar, Stronger Copper Prices - In December 2025, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points and launched a short - term Treasury purchase plan. The decision - making process showed internal differences, and the future policy path will depend on economic data. Powell's term will end in May 2026, and the possible candidates for the new Fed chairman have different stances on inflation, interest rates, and independence. The US economy shows signs of a slowdown in employment and a decline in inflation, and the dollar index is in a downward trend. There is a negative correlation between the dollar and copper prices, but attention should be paid to the risk of a high - level adjustment of copper prices in mid - 2026 [39][40][45]. 2.4 Global Macroeconomic Cycles and the 15th Five - Year Plan - Currently, the global economy is at the end of the sixth Kondratieff cycle and the fifth Juglar cycle since China's reform and opening - up. The theme of this Juglar cycle is the Sino - US chip war. The importance of copper as a key raw material in the fields of green energy transformation and AI competition is increasing. The start of the restocking cycle in China and the US will support the demand for copper. The 15th Five - Year Plan will promote China's economic transformation and upgrading, and copper's strategic value will continue to rise [50][51][53]. Chapter 3: Supply Analysis 3.1 Intensified Global Competition for Copper Mine Resources and Chinese Copper Enterprises' Overseas Expansion - Due to geopolitical risks, resource protectionism, and other factors, the long - term capital expenditure in the global copper mining industry is insufficient, and the new supply is limited. Global copper mine reserves are mainly concentrated in countries such as Chile, Australia, and Peru. China's domestic copper reserves are relatively small, but Chinese enterprises have actively expanded overseas. In 2025, many global copper mines were affected by accidents, strikes, and other factors, resulting in a downward revision of production forecasts. In 2026, the global mainstream copper mine supply is expected to increase theoretically, but the overall supply situation remains tight [54][58][60]. 3.2 Deeply Inverted Smelter Processing Fees and the Industry's Call for Anti - Involution - In 2025, the global copper smelting capacity utilization rate remained high, but the copper concentrate processing fees continued to decline, reaching a new low. The smelting industry is facing "involution - style" competition. The China Non - Ferrous Metals Industry Association has called for measures to control capacity and resist unfair pricing. The CSPT group has reached a consensus on reducing production capacity, resisting unreasonable pricing, and preventing malicious competition [64][65][66]. 3.3 Smelters to Cut Capacity in 2026, Slowing the Growth of Refined Copper Supply - In 2025, the global refined copper production reached a record high. It is expected that there will be a supply gap of about 150,000 tons in the global refined copper market in 2026. In November 2025, China's copper smelting operation rate increased, and the refined copper production increased month - on - month. However, the import of refined copper decreased, and the export increased significantly. Affected by the reduction of smelter capacity and the decline in imports, the growth rate of refined copper supply in 2026 will slow down [70][71][75]. 3.4 High Global Visible Inventory, Tight Non - US Inventory - As of December 25, 2025, the global copper visible inventory was at a historically high level, but the inventory in non - US regions was relatively tight. The US is expected to continue to siphon global copper inventories, and there are concerns that the US copper tariff may return. The non - US copper market may face a squeeze - out risk [76]. Chapter 4: Demand Analysis 4.1 The Fourth Industrial Revolution Triggers a Surge in Power Demand, and Green Copper Demand Shines - The fourth industrial revolution, including AI and the development of the power industry, has led to a sharp increase in power demand, which in turn drives the demand for copper. The power industry is the most important area for copper consumption, accounting for about 45% of the total. China's new infrastructure construction and the development of renewable energy will greatly boost copper demand. It is expected that the copper consumption in the domestic power industry will increase by 6.78% year - on - year to 7.88 million tons in 2026, accounting for 47% of the total copper consumption [81][84][88]. 4.2 The Real Estate Market is at the Bottom, Urgently Needing to Stabilize - The real estate market is currently in a downturn, with a decline in construction area, new construction area, and completion area. The real estate stimulus policies have had limited effects, and the industry has dragged down the overall demand for copper. It is predicted that the copper consumption in the construction industry will decline by 11.59% year - on - year to 2.9 million tons in 2026, accounting for 17% of the total copper consumption [95][96]. 4.3 Stimulating Consumption and the Recovery of Exports: Household Appliance Consumption Maintains Resilience - The government has introduced policies to support the replacement of household appliances. The copper consumption in the household appliance industry is expected to maintain a certain growth rate, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 5.1% from 2021 to 2025. It is expected that the copper consumption in the household appliance industry will reach 2.32 million tons in 2026, a year - on - year increase of 6.42%, accounting for 14% of the total copper consumption [98][100]. 4.4 The New Energy Vehicle Industry is Booming, and Green Copper Demand is on the Rise - New energy vehicles have a much higher copper consumption per vehicle than traditional fuel vehicles. In 2025, the sales of new energy vehicles in China continued to grow, and the penetration rate increased. In 2026, the new energy vehicle subsidy policy will be reformed, and the industry is expected to maintain high - speed development. It is estimated that the copper consumption in the transportation industry will reach 2.3 million tons in 2026, a year - on - year increase of 4.07%, accounting for 14% of the total copper consumption [101][102]. 4.5 The Industrial Machinery and Electronics Sectors Show Considerable Growth, and the Robot Industry Shines - The robot industry has developed rapidly in 2025, and copper is an essential key material for robots. Although the current copper consumption in the robot industry is relatively small, it has great growth potential. It is expected that the copper consumption in the machinery and electronics industry will reach 1.4 million tons in 2026, a year - on - year increase of 7.69%, accounting for 8% of the total copper consumption [105][106][107]. 4.6 The Return of Speculative Forces: The Bull Market of Copper is Irresistible - With the overseas copper supply disturbances and the Fed's interest rate cut cycle, the speculative enthusiasm in the copper market has rebounded. As of December 12, 2025, the net long positions of speculative funds in LME copper decreased slightly, while those in COMEX copper increased significantly. As of December 26, the trading volume and price of Shanghai copper both increased [108]. 4.6 Forecast of the 2026 Refined Copper Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - It is predicted that the global copper concentrate production in 2026 will be 23.38 million tons, with a year - on - year growth rate of 1.65%. The global refined copper production will be 28.75 million tons, with the growth rate slowing down to 0.88%. The global refined copper demand will be 29.25 million tons, with a year - on - year growth rate of 2.09%. The global refined copper supply - demand gap will expand to 500,000 tons. The domestic refined copper supply will be 16.55 million tons, and the demand will be 16.8 million tons, with the domestic supply - demand gap expanding to 250,000 tons [115]. Chapter 5: 2026 Annual Outlook - In 2026, the copper price operation logic has changed from "China - demand - led" to a ternary structure of "capital pricing + resource politics + supply chain control". The global copper concentrate supply will remain tight, and the smelting industry will continue to resist involution, with an expected 10% capacity reduction. The US will continue to siphon global copper inventories, and the green copper demand will support the demand side [117][118]. - Although the long - term trend of copper is upward, the short - term volatility may increase. It is recommended to use trailing stop - loss for long positions and be cautious about chasing high prices. In mid - 2026, copper may face high - level adjustment pressure, but the long - term trend remains unchanged. Industrial customers should adjust their hedging strategies according to market conditions. The recommended price range for Shanghai copper in 2026 is 85,000 - 120,000 yuan/ton, and for LME copper is 10,000 - 13,000 US dollars/ton [118][120].

For example, gold has strong short - and long - term investment value due to risk - aversion sentiment and long - term support factors; while zinc is expected to have limited upside potential in the short - term and is a bearish configuration in the medium - to - long - term due to supply increase and demand decrease [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Gold and Silver - **Market Review**: G2 relations stagnated, the US government remained shut down, and the Russia - Ukraine issue showed a negative turn, leading to a strong rally in gold and silver prices [3]. - **Basic Logic**: Although investors worry about gold being overbought and potential rebounds in interest rates and the dollar, the overall gold holdings are still at a low level. Long - term factors such as global monetary easing, the decline of the US dollar's credit, and geopolitical restructuring support the long - term bullish trend of gold. For silver, there is a risk of short - squeeze in the short - term due to low inventory, and long - term demand is driven by global policies [4][2]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: For gold, maintain a long - position thinking in both the short and long terms. For silver, pay close attention to macro - sentiment and market rhythm, and consider layout on pullbacks. Long - term positions should be held continuously [5]. Copper - **Market Review**: Shanghai copper consolidated in a short - term high - level range, oscillating around 85,000 yuan/ton [7]. - **Industrial Logic**: Freeport - McMoRan plans to change the copper concentrate pricing benchmark, and SMM expects a decline in electrolytic copper production in October. High copper prices have led to a wait - and - see attitude among downstream buyers. However, the demand for green copper in industries such as photovoltaic and new - energy vehicles remains strong [7]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Hold existing long positions in copper with trailing stop - loss protection. In the medium - to - long - term, be bullish on copper. Short - term, focus on the range of 83,500 - 88,500 yuan/ton for Shanghai copper and 10,000 - 11,000 US dollars/ton for LME copper [8]. Zinc - **Market Review**: Zinc stopped falling and rebounded slightly [11]. - **Industrial Logic**: The International Lead and Zinc Study Group predicts an increase in the global refined zinc supply surplus in 2025 and 2026. Domestic zinc concentrate supply is abundant, and zinc ingot production is expected to increase in October. Weak real estate and infrastructure have dragged down galvanized zinc demand. Overseas LME zinc inventory has a soft - squeeze risk, and domestic social inventory has slightly decreased [11]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: In the short - term, although zinc has rebounded due to improved macro and sector sentiment and inventory reduction, the upside space is limited. Consider selling hedging at high levels. In the medium - to - long - term, zinc is a bearish configuration in the sector. Focus on the range of 21,800 - 22,400 yuan/ton for Shanghai zinc and 2,900 - 3,000 US dollars/ton for LME zinc [12]. Aluminum - **Market Review**: Aluminum prices rebounded, while alumina continued to be weak [14]. - **Industrial Logic**: There is still an expectation of interest - rate cuts overseas. In October, China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity was high, and inventory increased during the holiday. The downstream processing enterprise's operating rate increased slightly. For alumina, the rainy season in Guinea may affect arrivals, and the market is in an oversupply situation [15]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: In the short - term, consider buying Shanghai aluminum on dips, paying attention to the operating rate changes of downstream processing enterprises. The main operating range is 20,500 - 21,500 yuan/ton [16]. Nickel - **Market Review**: Nickel prices stabilized slightly, and stainless steel rebounded slightly [18]. - **Industrial Logic**: Overseas, the supply disruption of nickel ore from Indonesia has weakened, and domestic pure nickel inventory has increased significantly. The downstream stainless steel consumption peak season is uncertain, with increased inventory and production [19]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Temporarily adopt a wait - and - see approach for nickel and stainless steel, paying attention to the improvement of downstream consumption. The main operating range for nickel is 120,000 - 123,000 yuan/ton [20]. Lithium Carbonate - **Market Review**: The main contract LC2511 opened low and closed high, with a gain of over 2% throughout the day [22]. - **Industrial Logic**: In September, the shipment of lithium carbonate from Chile to China decreased. In October, the supply - demand was in a tight balance, with domestic supply and production increasing. Overseas lithium ore supply is expected to increase in November. Lithium battery and cathode production increased in October, and social inventory is expected to continue to decline, supporting the price of lithium carbonate [23]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Hold long positions in contract 2601 within the range of 74,300 - 76,000 yuan/ton [24].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, the copper pricing logic shifted from "dominated by Chinese demand" to a ternary structure of "capital pricing + resource politics + supply chain control", with the financial attribute of copper significantly enhanced. The copper price showed a trend of "first decline, then rise, and then fluctuate", and the fluctuation range increased significantly [3]. - The deepening of the Sino - US game reshaped the global copper resource flow, pricing mechanism, and trade pattern. The copper price center will be systematically raised due to the re - evaluation of strategic value, and the fluctuation will intensify due to the fierce game [3]. - In the fourth quarter, the copper market faces three key points: the path after the Fed's hawkish interest rate cut and the speculation of a US economic recession; the variables in the Sino - US game, especially whether the Sino - US tariff negotiation in November will be postponed again; and the re - balance of global copper supply and demand and the inflection point of global copper visible inventory destocking [3]. - In the short term, it is recommended to hold copper speculative long orders, set trailing stops, and be cautious about chasing high prices, mainly trying long on dips. Industrial customers should flexibly adjust the hedging ratio, lock in reasonable profits, and strictly manage positions. In the long term, copper is favored due to its status as an important strategic resource and a substitute for precious metals, as well as the tight supply of copper concentrates and the booming demand for green copper [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: Review of the First Three - Quarter Market - In early January, due to Trump's weaker - than - expected tariff policy on China and the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, Shanghai copper started to rebound from the bottom, breaking through the 76,000 - yuan mark [6]. - In February, the lower - than - expected copper inventory accumulation during the Spring Festival and increased overseas mine - end disturbances pushed Shanghai copper to break through the 77,000 - yuan mark [6]. - In March, Trump's escalating threat of imposing import tariffs on copper led to a rapid widening of the price difference between COMEX and LME copper, and Shanghai copper broke through the 80,000 - yuan psychological barrier [6]. - In April, after the implementation of the global tariff war and the exemption of copper tariffs, there was a sharp reversal in expectations, causing copper prices to plummet. Subsequently, with the easing of Sino - US relations, copper prices oscillated and recovered [7]. - In June, due to the reignition of the Middle East conflict and the continuous decline of LME copper inventory, copper prices increased against the seasonal trend [7]. - In July and August, Trump's repeated tariff policies on copper led to significant fluctuations in copper prices. In September, with the Fed's interest rate cut and the supply shortage expectation of copper concentrates, copper prices reached new highs for the year [8]. Chapter 2: Macroeconomic Analysis 2.1 US Reciprocal Tariff Era and Global Economic Slowdown - In the US reciprocal tariff era, Trump's unpredictable policies disrupted market confidence in the US and global economies, leading to a surge in market risk - aversion sentiment. WTO predicted a decline in global goods trade volume, and IMF predicted a slowdown in global economic GDP growth [11]. - Global major economies' inflation situations were differentiated, and central banks' monetary policies shifted from tightening to easing. Geopolitical risks increased significantly, and military use of copper might increase due to the global arms race [14][19]. 2.2 Trump's Copper Tariff (TACO) and Increased Policy Uncertainty - Trump listed copper as a "national security vital resource", and his copper tariff policies had a profound impact on the global copper market. If the 25% copper import tariff policy were implemented, it would distort the global copper trade supply path [21][22]. - The price difference between COMEX and LME copper increased significantly, stimulating cross - market arbitrage. Although the tariff on refined copper was unexpectedly exempted, Trump's tariff policies accelerated the regionalization of the copper supply chain and increased capital risk - aversion sentiment [23][33]. 2.3 US Employment Pressure and Attention to the Fed's Interest Rate Cut in October - US employment data was weak, and inflation showed signs of rising. The Fed cut interest rates in September, and the market expected further interest rate cuts in October and December. The impact of the Fed's monetary policy on copper was greater than that of the domestic central bank's policy [36][42][46]. 2.4 Economic Cycle Reincarnation and Copper at the Eve of a Historic Demand Boom - Globally, the economy was at the end of the sixth Kondratieff cycle and the fifth Juglar cycle. Copper, as an important raw material, was on the verge of a historic demand boom [47]. - Domestically, although there were signs of economic recovery, there were still drag factors such as the real - estate slump. Copper was sensitive to interest rates, exchange rates, and domestic and foreign monetary policies [50]. Chapter 3: Supply Analysis 3.1 Grasberg Mine Shutdown in Indonesia Aggravates the Copper Ore Supply - Demand Gap - Global copper ore supply faced challenges such as long - term insufficient capital expenditure, falling ore grades, and increased mining difficulties. The shutdown of major mines such as Grasberg in Indonesia and political protests at some mines led to a reduction in global copper ore supply [52][55]. 3.2 Deep Inversion of Smelter Processing Fees and Industry Calls for Anti - Involution - Global copper smelting capacity utilization remained high, but copper concentrate supply was short. Smelter processing fees were deeply inverted, and the industry called for anti - involution. The government issued relevant policies to support the development of the copper industry [59][60][64]. 3.3 High Refined Copper Output and Continued Pressure on Imports - In 2025, global smelting capacity was released at a high level, and domestic refined copper output reached a record high. However, due to factors such as high premiums of US and LME copper and the closure of the import window, domestic refined copper imports were weak, and exports increased [67]. 3.4 High Global Visible Inventory and Tight Non - US Inventory - Global copper visible inventory was at a historically high level, mainly concentrated in US COMEX warehouses, while non - US inventory was tight. High copper prices had an inhibitory effect on demand, and attention should be paid to the subsequent inventory inflection point [72][77]. Chapter 4: Demand Analysis 4.1 The Fourth Industrial Revolution Triggers a Surge in Electricity Demand, and Green Copper Demand Shines - The fourth industrial revolution, including the development of new energy and AI, led to a significant increase in electricity demand, which in turn stimulated copper demand. China's power investment maintained resilience, and overseas power markets were also booming [78][79][80]. 4.2 Real Estate in a Difficult Bottom - Grinding Phase and Low Market Confidence - The real - estate market was in a downturn, with falling prices, weak sales, and a large inventory of unsold properties. This had a negative impact on overall copper demand [86][88]. 4.3 The Impact of the Trade - in Policy and the Withdrawal of National Subsidies on the Home Appliance Industry - The home appliance industry's demand for copper maintained resilience, but with the withdrawal of national subsidies and reduced overseas replenishment demand, the industry's performance was expected to be high in the first half and low in the second half of the year [91][92]. 4.4 High - Growth of New Energy Vehicles and Booming Green Copper Demand - New energy vehicles had a high copper consumption rate, and global new energy vehicle copper consumption was expected to increase significantly in 2025, becoming an important incremental factor in copper demand [94][95]. 4.5 The Return of Speculative Forces and the Repetition of the 2024 Copper Price Rally - Speculative forces in the copper market became active again, and overseas speculative funds' actions had an impact on copper prices. China needed to enhance its position as a copper pricing center [98][104]. 4.6 Forecast of the 2025 Refined Copper Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - Overall, the supply of overseas copper concentrates was tight, while domestic smelting capacity was operating at a high level. The supply - demand of refined copper shifted from a tight balance to a slight shortage, both domestically and globally [105].
