Core Viewpoint - The proposed 50% tariff on copper imports by President Trump will not only include refined copper but also cover semi-finished products, significantly amplifying the market impact of the tariff [1][2]. Group 1: Tariff Details - The tariff will apply to semi-finished copper products such as copper wire, copper plates, and copper tubes, which are essential for sectors like power grids, military, and data centers [1][2]. - The implementation of the tariff is set to begin on August 1, 2025, although the final details of the tariff measures are still subject to change [1]. Group 2: Market Impact - Analysts from Huatai Securities predict that the copper price may experience a correction after the tariff is implemented, especially given the traditional off-peak season in July and August, but they view this correction as a potential buying opportunity [1]. - The inclusion of semi-finished products in the tariff could disrupt processors who rely on imported raw materials, leading to increased costs across various sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive, construction, and military [2]. Group 3: Supply Chain Concerns - The U.S. domestic copper production is insufficient to meet demand, necessitating significant imports of semi-finished copper products. Last year, the U.S. imported approximately 800,000 tons of copper and copper alloy semi-finished products [2]. - Any disruption in foreign copper and semi-finished product supply could pose significant challenges for the U.S. power supply [2]. Group 4: Price Predictions - Morgan Stanley suggests that the tariff may positively impact COMEX copper prices due to the nature of the tariff being applied to imports, which will increase costs reflected in domestic prices [3]. - However, the short-term impact on prices may be mitigated by existing inventory levels, which can be consumed before the full effect of the tariff is felt [3]. - HSBC anticipates that a "buying spree" may temporarily elevate copper prices in Shanghai and London, but once the tariff policy is clarified, excess copper may return to the global market, exerting downward pressure on prices [4].

昂贵的铜料可能会导致"需求萎缩"，因为制造商会因原材料成本上升而减少产量。美国银行的商品分析 师在一份研究报告中写道，铜的买家"此前一段时间就一直强调，50%的关税是不可持续的"。 由于特朗普表示将从8月1日起实施50%铜的新关税，美国用于制造汽车、数据中心等各类产品的铜价正 在大幅上涨，这可能会对美国制造商造成影响。美国制造商仍高度依赖铜的进口，进口量约占国内需求 的一半。 智通财经APP曾报道，特朗普表示，提高美国的铜产量应是保障国家安全的一项优先任务，旨在促进从 半导体到弹药等各类产品的国内生产。然而，铜矿和精炼厂的建设需要数年时间。在此期间，美国制造 商可能不得不继续从智利、加拿大、秘鲁和墨西哥进口铜——只是价格会更高。 荷兰银行ING银行的大宗商品策略师Ewa Manthey写道："这可能会导致更高的通货膨胀，从而增加美国 制造商的成本，因为他们没有国内的替代方案可用。" 美国为何大量进口铜? 这些关税计划是特朗普政府对是否因过度依赖进口铜而引发国家安全问题进行审查的结果。特朗普周三 表示，铜是美国国防部使用量第二大的材料。他在社交媒体上发文称："美国将再次建立起一个强大的 铜业体系。" 据美国地质 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Neutral; Arbitrage: Suspended; Option: short put @ 77,000 yuan/ton [7] Core Viewpoints - Trump's claim to impose a 50% tariff on copper from August 1st pushed up Comex copper prices, while LME and SHFE copper prices declined. If the tariff policy is implemented, it may be too late to transport copper to the New York market, leading to an increase in LME copper inventory. Currently, short - term LME copper is weak, SHFE copper is in a downward oscillation, and it's advisable to wait and see. However, the copper supply - demand fundamentals won't change fundamentally [7] Summary by Directory Market News and Important Data - **Futures Quotes**: On July 10, 2025, the SHFE copper main contract opened at 78,340 yuan/ton and closed at 78,600 yuan/ton, up 0.26% from the previous trading day's close. The night - session contract opened at 78,700 yuan/ton and closed at 78,590 yuan/ton, up 0.26% from the afternoon close [1] - **Spot Situation**: On the previous day, the premium of SHFE copper spot collapsed. As the price dropped and the month - spread widened to over BACK250 yuan/ton, near the contract change, holders sold actively, causing the premium to fall rapidly. Mainstream flat - copper premiums dropped from 40 - 80 yuan/ton to near - flat, and there were discounted goods around 11 am. Premium copper like Jinchuan large - board was traded at a premium of 20 - 60 yuan/ton. Non - registered goods had significant price drops, with discounts over 200 yuan/ton. Other goods in Changzhou were traded at discounts of 80 - 40 yuan/ton [2] Important Information Summary - **Macro and Geopolitical**: Many Fed officials spoke. St. Louis Fed President Musalem thought the impact of tariffs on inflation might not be clear until the end of the year, and the US fiscal deficit could be a financial stability issue. San Francisco Fed President Daly considered a rate cut in the fall and expected two rate cuts this year. Governor Waller reiterated the possible reasons for a July rate cut. Domestically, the Ministry of Commerce responded that the US Commerce Secretary might meet Chinese negotiators in early August, and the two sides were in close communication on economic and trade concerns. The Foreign Ministry stated that Trump's 50% copper tariff was not in anyone's interest [3] - **Mine End**: On July 9, Canadian junior mining company Super Copper agreed to acquire 100% of the Castilla copper project in Chile for a $100,000 advance payment.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Trump announced a 50% import tariff on copper, effective August 1, 2025. The tariff is expected to cover copper base products and derivatives. The COMEX - LME copper price spread is likely to widen further, but the final spread ratio may be less than 50% due to the large - scale pre - import of copper by the US since March. Before August 1, copper will continue to flow into the US, and after August, US copper import demand is expected to decrease significantly, increasing the copper supply in non - US markets [3][38]. - Currently, the copper mine supply remains tight, but the long - term tightness is slightly weaker than expected. The scrap copper supply is tight, strongly supporting prices, but this support may weaken if China's imports increase after the US tariff takes effect. The short - term supply of refined copper remains high, while demand faces pressure as the downstream enters the off - season and new photovoltaic and wind power installations peak [3][38]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 US Plan to Impose a 50% Import Tariff on Copper - On February 26, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to initiate a 232 investigation on copper. On July 8, he publicly threatened to impose a 50% tariff on imported copper, and on July 10, he officially announced the 50% tariff on copper, effective August 1, 2025 [5]. 3.2 Analysis of the Impact of the US Copper Tariff - **Tariff Scope**: It is expected that copper base products and derivatives such as cables, electrical equipment, and home appliances may be subject to the tariff. However, due to the relatively small proportion of raw materials in home appliances (e.g., copper cost accounts for about 20% of air - conditioners), the impact on home appliances is smaller than that on copper base products [6]. - **Regional Price Spread**: Before the 50% tariff announcement, the COMEX - LME copper spread mostly fluctuated between 700 - 1500 dollars/ton, indicating a market - expected US copper tariff of 10 - 20%. After the 50% tariff news, the spread widened to about 2560 dollars/ton on July 9, equivalent to about 26.5% of the LME copper price. Although the spread has not fully reflected the 50% tariff, it is likely to widen further, but the final spread ratio may be less than 50% due to pre - imports [7]. - **Impact on Copper Flows**: Since the 232 investigation in late February, copper has flowed into the US, tightening the non - US supply. Before August 1, copper that can reach the US will continue to flow in, with a higher probability of copper from the Americas. After August, US copper import demand is expected to decrease, increasing the non - US copper supply [12][13]. 3.3 Current Situation of the Copper Market Fundamentals - **Copper Mines**: In May, Chile's copper production was at a multi - year high, and Peru's production in April decreased seasonally. The global copper mine supply growth rate is expected to be further adjusted downwards due to a production guidance cut by Ivanhoe Mines. The copper concentrate TC has been weakening, and the semi - annual long - term TC of 0 dollars/ton indicates long - term supply tightness, but less than expected [19]. - **Scrap Copper**: Since June, the domestic refined - scrap copper spread has widened, and the substitution advantage of scrap copper has increased. The supply of domestic scrap copper has been relatively tight since early July, strongly supporting copper prices. However, this support may weaken if China's imports increase after the US tariff takes effect [22][26]. - **Refined Copper**: In June, domestic refined copper production decreased slightly month - on - month but increased by over 10% year - on - year. It is expected to rise in July - August. Overseas production is expected to remain low in the short term. In June, domestic apparent consumption increased rapidly year - on - year. The downstream is in the off - season, and the demand for clean energy - related copper is expected to weaken [28].
