Report Overview - The report is the Copper Risk Management Daily Report of Nanhua Futures, dated August 19, 2025, prepared by Nanhua's non-ferrous metals research team [1] Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the report Core Viewpoints - The slight decline of copper prices on Monday was a bit unexpected, possibly related to the decline in the valuation of the entire commodity market. The stock market's unexpected strength on Monday did not drive the futures market. In the short term, copper prices may continue to fluctuate, or slightly strengthen. The previous support level of 77,000 yuan per ton can be raised to 78,000 yuan per ton. Powell's speech at the global central bank annual meeting may have limited impact on copper prices [3] Summary by Directory Copper Price Volatility and Risk Management Suggestions - The latest copper price is 78,950 yuan/ton, with a monthly price range forecast of 73,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton. The current volatility is 11.64%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility is 22.6% [2] - For inventory management (high finished product inventory, worried about price decline), it is recommended to short 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 82,000 yuan/ton and sell 25% of the call option CU2510C82000 when the volatility is relatively stable. For raw material management (low raw material inventory, worried about price increase), it is recommended to long 75% of the Shanghai copper main futures contract at around 77,000 yuan/ton [2] Factors Affecting Copper Prices - **Likely to increase prices**: The US reaches an agreement on tariff policies with other countries; the increase in interest rate cut expectations leads to a decline in the US dollar index, pushing up the valuation of non-ferrous metals; the support level is raised [4][5] - **Likely to decrease prices**: The tariff policy fluctuates; global demand decreases due to tariff policies; the adjustment of the US copper tariff policy leads to an extremely high COMEX inventory [5][7] Copper Futures and Spot Data - **Futures data**: The latest price of the Shanghai copper main contract is 78,950 yuan/ton, with no daily change.
