12月12日（周五），伦敦期铜再次触及纪录高位，本周有望实现周线三连升，此前美联储宣布降息及扩 表。 北京时间15:57，LME三个月期铜持稳，报每吨11,871美元，盘中稍早触及11,952美元的历史新高。 LME三个月期铜本周迄今涨逾1.7%。 沪铜主力合约收高1.95%，报收于每吨94,080元。该合约盘中最高触及94,570元，超过周一触及的前一 纪录高位。 沪铜主力合约本周累计攀升1.4%。 市场人气得到提振，美联储本周如预期降息，但主席鲍威尔的言论及会后声明被投资者视为不如预期鹰 派，进一步强化市场抛售美元的动能。 在电力、建筑和制造业领域，铜的用量创下历史新高。与此同时，铜矿供应中断，以及大量铜流向美 国，引发了市场对美国以外地区铜短缺的担忧。 澳新银行（ANZ Research）研究部预测，受供应紧张和需求加速增长推动，2026年铜价将持续保持在每 吨11,000美元以上，年底前可能逼近12,000美元。 该预测值高于此前对2026年四个季度9800-10800美元的预期区间。 智利国家机构--智利铜业委员会(Cochilco)周四表示，从今年到2034年，智利的矿业投资预计将达到 1045. ...

铜价后市看涨预期强，供需偏紧、海内外财政货币政策是重要推手。 回顾本轮上涨驱动因素，关税带来的虹吸效应是直接导火索。今年2月末，美国总统特朗普签署行政命 令正式启动对铜进口的"232条款"，促使COMEX（纽约金属交易所）-LME溢价飙升。7月初，特朗普又 加码铜关税，由过去的25%直接提升到50%。11月6日，美国还将铜正式纳入"关键矿产清单"，进一步 强化对铜供应链的管控。 这些决定对铜市场产生巨大影响。随着美国铜期货价格波动，贸易商多次加大向美国港口的发货量。能 源交易商摩科瑞3月时曾估计，约有50万吨铜正在运往美国，远高于每月约7万吨的正常进口量。 市场对于供应紧张的预期也是重要推手，今年全球多座重要铜矿停产、减产。5月20日，Kakula地下矿 的地震活动间歇性发生，地下采矿活动于5月25日再次暂停，刚果（金）Kamoa-Kakula铜年度产量指引 随后下调28%。9月8日，自由港公告称，旗下印尼Grasberg铜矿发生大规模湿性矿料涌出事故，导致矿 井内部分区域通道中断，暂停全部采矿作业；24日，自由港再发声明称，Grasberg铜矿当天正式停产至 2026年上半年，预计2027年全面恢复产能。据 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the significant rise in international gold prices and its impact on gold mining companies, particularly Zijin Mining, which has seen substantial stock price increases alongside its gold and copper business growth [5][11]. Group 1: Gold and Copper Business Performance - Zijin Mining's revenue from gold and copper has increased from 74% to 89% of total revenue since 2022, with gold revenue rising from 123 billion to 138.3 billion in 2023 [9]. - The contribution of gold business to Zijin Mining's total revenue growth exceeded 100%, with gold revenue growth significantly outpacing overall revenue growth [11]. - The company is focusing on increasing the proportion of self-mined gold, which has higher profit margins compared to purchased gold [13][15].

Group 3: Market Position and Valuation - Compared to Shandong Gold, which has a market capitalization of 190 billion and a P/E ratio of approximately 34, Zijin Mining's gold business could be valued at over 300 billion if listed separately [23][25]. - Zijin Mining's copper business is also highlighted as having strong profit margins, with a gross profit margin of 60.9% for self-mined copper in 2025 H1, outperforming many competitors [28][31].

Group 1 - Copper prices reached $11,000 per ton, a significant milestone in the London Metal Exchange's history, raising questions about the sustainability of this price level [2] - Current trading price of copper is around $10,718 per ton, following a recent decline due to escalating trade tensions [2] - Analysts emphasize the need for strong demand growth, particularly from China, to maintain upward momentum in copper prices [2][3] Group 2 - Key copper mines, including Indonesia's Grasberg, have faced production halts this year, contributing to market speculation about supply shortages versus speculative trading [2] - The International Copper Study Group forecasts a 150,000-ton deficit in 2026, despite maintaining a surplus estimate of 17,800 tons for the current year [2] - China's copper industry faces three main challenges: increasing reliance on foreign resources, overcapacity in the midstream processing sector, and suppressed downstream demand due to high copper prices [3]

Group 1 - BHP plans to invest AUD 840 million (approximately USD 554 million) to expand its Olympic Dam underground copper mine in South Australia to increase copper production [1] - The investment will fund the construction of a new tunnel to access copper resources in the southern area of the mine, along with infrastructure to enhance ore processing capacity and efficiency, and a new oxygen plant at the smelter [1] - BHP anticipates a 70% increase in global copper demand by 2050 and has identified copper as a core growth business, planning to invest over USD 10 billion in Chile over the next decade [1] Group 2 - BHP aims to increase its annual copper production from 1.7 million tons to approximately 2.5 million tons, leveraging the world-class copper mining region in South Australia [1] - Currently, BHP's assets in South Australia contribute nearly 20% of its total global copper production [1] - Recent supply chain disruptions have led to rising copper prices, influenced by Freeport-McMoRan's declaration of force majeure at its Grasberg mine in Indonesia [2]

1. Report Information - Report Title: Copper Futures Daily Report [1] - Date: September 5, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Zhang Ping, Yu Feifei, Peng Jinglin [3] 2. Core View - With fundamental support, copper prices should mainly be bought on dips [10] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Shanghai copper fluctuated downward, with total positions decreasing and the near - month spread turning to back. The sentiment became more cautious. A - share continuous decline and the upcoming US non - farm payroll data pressured copper prices [10] - Spot copper dropped 330 to 80190, and the premium fell 10 to 180. Imported copper arrivals suppressed the premium. Social inventory increased by 0.85 million tons this week, mainly due to a 1.02 - million - ton increase in Shanghai caused by large - scale imported arrivals [10] - As the LME 0 - 3 contango structure narrowed, spot imports turned to a small loss of 50 yuan/ton, but the premiums for warehouse receipts and bills of lading continued to rise to 57 and 60 US dollars/ton respectively, indicating strong demand for imported copper [10] - LME inventory decreased by 200 tons, showing an increase in domestic inventory and a decrease in overseas inventory. The expected centralized production cuts by smelters in September have not been reflected in domestic social inventory. Short - term attention should be paid to the domestic social inventory destocking progress [10] 3.2 Industry News - Freeport - McMoRan is advancing three expansion projects (two in the US and one in Chile) and researching a technological innovation to boost annual production. It plans to invest $3.5 billion to expand a copper mine in Arizona, aiming to double the concentrator's capacity and increase copper and molybdenum production. The project is expected to make an investment decision by the end of 2025 and start production in 2029. It may also increase the capacity of the Lone Star copper mine in Arizona and the El Abra mine in Chile [11] - In September, China's refined copper market saw a rare supply contraction. Multiple research institutions predicted a 4% - 5% month - on - month decline in China's refined copper production this month, the first decline in September since 2016. The new tax policy reduced scrap copper processing profits, weakening the incentive to smelt scrap copper into anode copper. Additionally, smelters entered the peak equipment maintenance period in September, with the number of shut - down smelters increasing from three to five. The operating rate of smelters relying on scrap copper or anode copper is expected to drop by 8.3 percentage points to 59.9%, magnifying the supply contraction effect. This production cut coincides with the peak copper consumption season [11][12]

Group 1 - The U.S. has announced a 50% tariff on imported copper, effective from August 1, 2025, which will not impact Indian companies due to India's copper supply shortage [2][4] - India is a copper resource-poor country, with copper exports to the U.S. being only about 10,000 tons, according to the International Copper Association [3] - India's strong demand for copper is driven by initiatives in renewable energy and electric vehicles, mitigating the impact of U.S. tariffs [3] Group 2 - A planning document predicts that copper demand will grow sixfold by 2047, with a plan to add 5 million tons of smelting and refining capacity annually by 2030 [5] - India remains a net importer of copper products, necessitating strategic measures across the entire value chain to meet growing demand [6] - In 2023, India imported 1 million tons of copper concentrate, primarily from a few countries [7] Group 3 - Indonesia is the largest exporter of copper ore and concentrate to India, accounting for approximately 27% of imports, followed by Chile (25%) and Peru (14%) [8] - Together, these four countries (Indonesia, Chile, Peru, and Panama) account for about 75% of India's copper concentrate imports [9]
