10月9日，铜价触及每吨11,000美元，这是伦敦金属交易所历史上仅出现过两次的里程碑——分析师开始质疑铜价 能否攀上新高峰。 这种广泛应用于电力和建筑领域的金属逼近2024年5月创下的11,104.50美元历史高点，但在贸易紧张局势升级后， 周五价格回落。 目前伦铜在每吨10,718美元附近交投。 美元疲软推动铜价在2025年持续走高，近月来矿业事故频发更助推涨势，但需求前景仍存疑虑。 荷兰国际集团分析师Ewa Manthey表示："要延续涨势，我们需要看到强劲的需求增长，尤其是来自中国的需 求。"她补充道，该行对铜价仍持谨慎态度。 包括印尼Grasberg在内的多座关键铜矿今年均遭遇停产。尽管如此，业界对当前铜价上涨究竟源于真实供应短缺 还是投机炒作仍存分歧。 Grasberg发生不可抗力事件后，国际铜研究组织预计2026年将出现15万吨缺口，但仍维持今年17.8万吨过剩的预 测。法国巴黎银行根据Grasberg减产调整年度损失预估后，预计明年铜市将趋于平衡。 该行高级大宗商品策略师David Wilson表示："目前无人为获取铜而苦苦挣扎。基金虽能推高工业金属价格，但工 业消费者届时只会说'好吧，我们不 ...

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]
