1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Cautiously bullish [6] - Arbitrage: On hold - Options: Short put @ 77,000 yuan/ton 2. Core View of the Report - The supply constraint logic still exists, providing strong support for copper prices. The demand side shows that the global visible copper inventory has increased, and the downstream purchasing sentiment is cautious, with no obvious marginal improvement in demand. There are concerns about whether the demand can be maintained in the second half of the year due to global macro - economic uncertainties. In the short term, the macro - level catalysts are weakening, making it difficult to significantly improve the overall copper demand expectation. In the future, the domestic anti - involution meeting's stance on copper supply constraints can still be expected, and the probability of a significant weakening of demand is low. It is recommended to mainly use buy - on - dips hedging for copper, with a buying range of 77,000 yuan/ton to 77,500 yuan/ton [6][7] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market News and Important Data Futures Quotes - On August 7, 2025, the main Shanghai copper futures contract opened at 78,380 yuan/ton and closed at 78,460 yuan/ton, a 0.23% increase from the previous trading day's close.
