Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the strategic implications of China's export controls on gallium, highlighting its critical role in the semiconductor and defense industries, and the potential economic impact on the U.S. and its allies due to reliance on Chinese supply [4][8][39]. Group 1: China's Export Controls - The G7 nations have reached a consensus to reduce imports of Chinese rare earths, but analysts believe this may not be sustainable as China holds significant control over gallium production and technology [4][8]. - China has implemented a systematic export control mechanism for gallium, which has led to a dramatic price increase in international markets, with Rotterdam's low-purity gallium price rising over 43% within a month of the controls [4][18]. - By mid-2024, China is expected to produce 98% of the world's low-purity gallium, making non-Chinese suppliers heavily reliant on Chinese raw materials [20][21]. Group 2: Strategic Importance of Gallium - Gallium is crucial for advanced semiconductors, LEDs, and defense radar systems, with the U.S. Department of Defense relying on gallium for over 11,000 components [5][39]. - The actual annual consumption of gallium in the U.S. is estimated to be around 200 tons when including gallium-based products, significantly higher than the official figure of 20 tons [5][36]. - China's control over gallium supply chains poses a risk to U.S. defense capabilities, as nearly 85% of gallium-related components in the defense supply chain involve Chinese suppliers [39][41]. Group 3: U.S. Response and Supply Chain Resilience - The U.S. must urgently develop alternative sources for gallium supply and extraction technologies to mitigate the risks posed by China's export controls [9][42]. - The U.S. government has begun to allocate funds for research and development in gallium extraction technologies, with a focus on enhancing domestic production capabilities [45][46]. - Collaborative efforts with allies such as Canada, Australia, and Japan are essential to diversify gallium supply chains and reduce dependence on China [49][50][51]. Group 4: Market Dynamics and Challenges - The gallium market is characterized by significant price volatility due to supply constraints, with prices reaching record highs following China's export restrictions [18][19]. - Non-Chinese producers face challenges in competing with China's cost advantages, particularly in gallium extraction technologies, which are largely unavailable outside China [32][34]. - The U.S. must implement supportive policies to encourage domestic production and ensure a stable supply of gallium, as market mechanisms alone may not suffice [43][44].

Market Analysis of Key Varieties 2.1 Shanghai Copper - Shanghai Copper opened high and moved higher, rising during the day. The US inflation data in December increased market expectations of an interest rate cut in April. In terms of supply, copper smelters are facing profit challenges, and refined copper production is expected to decline in January. The merger negotiation between Rio Tinto and Glencore may tighten the copper supply. In terms of demand, terminal demand is growing strongly, but the copper product sector is cautious, and copper inventories have increased significantly. The market is worried about the US refining copper tariff, which supports the copper price [9]. 2.2 Lithium Carbonate - Lithium Carbonate opened high and then declined during the day. In December 2025, production increased, and inventory started to accumulate. The demand for energy storage batteries remains strong, but the export tax rebate policy adjustment and the exchange's trading policy adjustment have affected the market. Despite the downward movement in the short term, the overall sentiment is still bullish, with the risk of CATL resuming production [11]. 2.3 Crude Oil - OPEC+ decided to maintain the production plan in February and March 2026. The US crude oil inventory decreased more than expected, but the refined oil inventory increased. The market is still worried about demand, and the global crude oil market is in a state of oversupply. The situation in Iran and Venezuela may affect the supply, and the oil price is expected to fluctuate [12][13]. 2.4 Asphalt - The asphalt production rate decreased last week, and the expected production in January 2026 also decreased. The downstream demand is weak in the north and average in the south. The situation in Venezuela may affect the raw material supply and production cost of domestic asphalt. It is recommended to focus on the raw material shortage of domestic refineries and consider reverse arbitrage [14][16]. 2.5 PP - The downstream start - up rate of PP is at a low level, and the enterprise start - up rate is at a medium - low level. The cost is affected by the international situation, and the supply is increasing with new capacity. The downstream is in the off - season, and the demand is weak. The upward space of PP is expected to be limited, and the L - PP spread is expected to narrow [17]. 2.6 Plastic - The plastic start - up rate has increased, and the downstream start - up rate is at a low level. The cost is affected by the international situation, and new capacity has been put into production. The downstream demand is weakening, and the upward space is limited. The L - PP spread is expected to narrow [18][19]. 2.7 PVC - The PVC start - up rate is increasing, but the downstream demand is weak, and the export is average. The social inventory is high, and the real estate market is still in the adjustment stage. With the cancellation of export tax rebates, the 03 - 05 contracts are expected to fluctuate strongly [20]. 2.8 Coking Coal - Coking Coal opened low and then adjusted downward nearly 2% during the day. The supply of imported coal decreased, while domestic production increased. Coking enterprises and steel mills are replenishing inventory. Despite the short - term adjustment, Coking Coal is expected to remain strong in the long term [22]. 2.9 Urea - Urea opened low and rose over 2% during the day. The daily production has increased, and the inventory has decreased. The agricultural demand is increasing, but the industrial demand is weakening due to the approaching Spring Festival. The short - term strength of urea is expected to be difficult to sustain, and it will be adjusted at a high level [23].

Group 1: Investment Rating - No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The macro - environment supports the upward movement of copper prices. The US inflation data in December 2026 increased the market's expectation of an interest rate cut in April. The supply side has issues such as unprofitable long - term contracts for smelters and potential production decline in January. The demand side has strong terminal demand but a cautious copper products sector, and there is a large inventory build - up. Concerns about US tariffs and inventory hoarding support the copper price [1]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Market Analysis - The Shanghai copper futures opened higher and rose during the day. The US December inflation data showed that overall CPI was up 2.7% year - on - year, core CPI was up 2.6% year - on - year, both were flat with November and lower than market expectations. After seasonal adjustment, CPI was up 0.3% month - on - month as expected, and core CPI was up 0.2% month - on - month, lower than expected. In 2026, copper smelters can't profit from long - term contracts, and the spot market is weakly stable. By - products like sulfuric acid and gold are the main profit points. The refined - scrap copper price difference is still abnormal, but weak downstream demand restricts scrap copper trading. Five smelters plan to stop production in January, and one new smelter's start - up is postponed. Mining giants Rio Tinto and Glencore restarted merger negotiations, and if the deal is completed, they may control 15% of the global copper supply. Terminal demand is growing strongly, but the copper products sector is cautious, and there is a large inventory build - up. The market is worried about the US proposing refined copper tariffs, which supports copper prices [1]. 2. Futures and Spot Market Conditions - Futures: Shanghai copper opened higher and rose during the day. Spot: The spot premium in East China is 150 yuan/ton, and in South China is 30 yuan/ton. On January 13, 2026, the LME official price was 13310 US dollars/ton, and the spot premium was +75 US dollars/ton [3]. 3. Supply Side - As of January 12, the spot rough smelting fee (TC) was - 45.1 US dollars/dry ton, and the spot refining fee (RC) was - 4.6 US cents/pound [5]. 4. Fundamental Tracking - Inventory - SHFE copper inventory is 149,300 tons, an increase of 27,212 tons from the previous period.
