Group 1: Macro Environment - The Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates by 25 basis points, acknowledging a weakening labor market while mentioning rising inflation concerns. The dot plot indicates potential for two more rate cuts this year and one next year [2] - The current economic resilience in the U.S. is expected to enhance market liquidity, thereby boosting market risk appetite [2] Group 2: Copper Supply and Demand - There is a tight supply of copper raw materials, which may impact smelting operations. The copper concentrate supply remains constrained, with spot treatment charges around -40 USD/ton. Additionally, falling sulfuric acid prices are expected to pressure smelter profits [3] - Some smelting companies are likely to enter maintenance periods in September and October, leading to a potential decrease in refined copper production [3] - Long-term expectations suggest that global copper consumption will continue to grow, driven by sectors such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, and infrastructure investments [4] Group 3: Short-term and Long-term Trends - In the short term, downstream enterprises are expected to stock up before the National Day holiday, which may lead to a decrease in inventory and strengthen spot premiums [4] - The construction and infrastructure sectors in China are showing signs of recovery, particularly in the electric grid industry, which supports copper consumption levels [4] - In the U.S., aging electrical grids require significant investment for upgrades, which will further increase copper demand. Additionally, economic stimulus measures in South and Southeast Asia are expected to bolster long-term copper demand [4] Group 4: Future Outlook - The macro and micro factors are likely to resonate, providing phase support for copper prices. The Fed's rate cuts may lead to a weaker dollar index, further supporting market risk appetite [5] - The tight supply of copper raw materials is expected to impact refined copper production, with a potential for a balanced supply-demand scenario in the coming year [5]

Group 1 - The company, Yunnan Copper, stated that gold is a byproduct of its copper smelting production, with some sourced from its own copper concentrate containing gold, but most coming from externally purchased copper concentrate [1] - The company indicated that the rising gold prices will have a limited positive impact due to fluctuations in raw material costs and low smelting processing fees [1]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The market is trading on the expected magnitude of the Fed's interest rate cuts, and the US dollar index continues to weaken. Fundamentally, domestic copper production is expected to decrease significantly due to reduced scrap copper imports and domestic smelter maintenance, which will support copper prices. However, the recent significant inventory accumulation on the SHFE will limit the upside space of the market [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Strategy Analysis - On September 17, 2025, Shanghai copper opened lower and moved lower throughout the day. As of September 12, the domestic spot smelting fee (TC) was -41.42 dollars per dry ton, and the refining fee (RC) was -4.16 cents per pound, with TC/RC fees remaining weakly stable. Factory seasonal maintenance in September and October will lead to reduced production, and small and medium - sized smelters are facing profit pressure, so the supply of refined copper remains tight. In August, SMM's electrolytic copper production in China was 1.1715 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.24% and a year - on - year increase of 15.59%. Affected by policies, the supply of scrap copper in September will decrease significantly, and smelters have maintenance plans in September, so the electrolytic copper production in September is expected to drop sharply. Although prices have been pushed up recently, the downstream trading atmosphere has improved. The realization of the peak - season expectations remains to be seen. The SHFE copper inventory has slightly increased, with an increase of 6,633 tons from last week. Increased imports and high prices have suppressed copper demand, and the inventory accumulation trend has gradually begun [1]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Market Conditions - Futures: Shanghai copper opened lower and moved lower throughout the day, closing at 80,560 yuan per ton at the end of the session. Spot: The spot premium in East China was 60 yuan per ton, and in South China it was 40 yuan per ton. On September 16, 2025, the LME official price was 10,144 dollars per ton, and the spot premium was -72.5 dollars per ton [4]. 3.3 Supply Side - As of September 12, the latest data showed that the spot smelting fee (TC) was -41.42 dollars per dry ton, and the spot refining fee (RC) was -4.16 cents per pound [7]. 3.4 Fundamental Tracking - Inventory: SHFE copper inventory was 33,300 tons, a decrease of 401 tons from the previous period. As of September 15, the copper inventory in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone was 76,400 tons, a decrease of 400 tons from the previous period.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The main contract of Shanghai copper fluctuates strongly, with increasing open interest, spot premium, and strengthening basis. The copper price is supported by cost due to low TC fees for copper mines and firm raw material quotes. Domestic refined copper production may decline due to smelter maintenance and supply shortages of raw materials. In the short term, the strong copper price suppresses downstream purchasing sentiment, but in the long term, demand is expected to increase during the traditional consumption peak season. The options market sentiment is bullish, and the implied volatility slightly increases. Technically, the 60 - minute MACD shows the double - line above the 0 - axis with a shrinking red column.
