【环球网财经综合报道】据彭博社等外媒报道，近日，摩科瑞能源集团全球金属与矿产业务负责人Kostas Bintas再度发表对铜价的看多预测，并警示近期涌 向美国的金属运输热潮可能抽干世界其他地区的库存。 近期，受纽约商品交易所铜期货高额升水吸引，交易员不断增加向美国运送铜的规模，以期捕捉套利机会。这一升水源于市场对未来潜在关税走向的不确定 性。本月初，美国地质调查局（USGS）公布的最新关键矿产清单首次将铜列入其中，而此前美国政府曾下令对关键矿产进口开展关税调查，清单内矿产可 能面临关税或贸易限制。 与此同时，一系列矿山生产中断加剧供应趋紧，全球铜价持续上行。当地时间本周五，伦敦金属交易所（LME）期铜创下盘中历史新高，美国期铜亦显著 走强。Bintas称，随着利润丰厚的美国套利窗口重新开启并抽走其他地区的供应，铜价将进一步攀升，"如果世界继续这样下去，其他地区或将无铜可 用。"他在采访中未给出具体价格目标，但强调LME全球基准铜价只会继续上涨。 早在今年3月，Bintas就曾预测，因美国抽走全球供应，铜价或升至每吨12000或13000美元。摩科瑞的竞争对手IXM与Gunvor的高管近期也警告，接连发生 的矿 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In December, copper prices are expected to remain high and fluctuate. It is recommended to maintain the operation strategy of buying on dips. The upward drive for copper prices comes from the increasing expectation of interest rate cuts in December and the long - term broad - money cycle, while the supply - side problems such as low copper concentrate processing fees and production disruptions, and the demand from the new energy sector support the copper price. However, factors like high inventory, the substitution of aluminum for copper, and weak demand in the real estate and home appliance sectors may limit the upside space [6][7]. Summary of Each Section According to the Table of Contents 1.后市研判 (Outlook for the Market) - In December, copper prices will be in a high - level oscillation. The operation strategy of buying on dips should be maintained. The increasing expectation of interest rate cuts in December and the long - term broad - money cycle provide upward drive. On the supply side, problems such as the decline in global copper ore grade, slow new project commissioning, and insufficient capital expenditure are difficult to solve in the short term, and production disruptions in major producing areas lead to lower - than - expected annual production growth. The demand from the automotive and new energy sectors provides support, but high inventory and the substitution of aluminum for copper may limit the upside [6][7]. 2.行情回顾 (Market Review) - In November, copper prices showed a high - level oscillation trend. The implementation of the Fed's interest rate cut and the US government shutdown event weakened the macro - driving force [9][10]. 3.宏观面 (Macroeconomic Aspects) - **US Situation**: The US manufacturing PMI has contracted for eight consecutive months, and the overall labor demand is slowing down. However, the service PMI has reached an eight - month high. Although the performance and outlook of NVIDIA are excellent, the market doubts about its valuation bubble. The dovish shift of the previous hawkish officials has increased the expectation of interest rate cuts in December to 75%, and the market has priced in more than three interest rate cuts within a year, which provides upward drive for copper prices [16]. - **China Situation**: In October, China's manufacturing PMI declined, and the non - manufacturing PMI rose slightly. The overall national economy was running smoothly, and new growth drivers continued to expand. The government has introduced policies to promote consumption, and the market is concerned about the introduction of more growth - stabilizing policies [18][21]. 4.基本面 (Fundamental Aspects) - **Supply Side** - **Copper Ore Import**: In October 2025, China's copper ore and concentrate imports were 2,451,487.80 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.24% and a year - on - year increase of 6.08%. The supply from major suppliers increased, but that from other sources decreased, and the tight supply of copper concentrate remained difficult to ease [22]. - **Processing Fees**: As of the week of November 21, the Mysteel standard clean copper concentrate TC weekly index was - 41.81 US dollars per dry ton, a decrease of 0.06 US dollars per dry ton from the previous week. The tight copper concentrate supply situation led to low processing fees and high pressure on the year - end negotiations between domestic smelters and overseas miners [25]. - **Inventory**: Affected by the 232 tariff policy, the US has absorbed a large amount of refined copper globally. Although the siphon effect is gradually weakening, South American copper still prefers to be exported to the US. The total global copper inventory exceeds 800,000 tons, remaining above the central level [28]. - **Production**: In October 2025, China's refined copper production was 1.204 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 8.9%. Due to smelter overhauls, the production decreased month - on - month, and the impact will be more evident in December [36]. - **Imports and Exports**: In October, China's refined copper imports were 323,144.72 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 13.62% and a year - on - year decrease of 16.32%. Exports were 65,945 tons, a year - on - year increase of more than five times and a month - on - month increase of nearly 1.5 times [45]. - **Waste Copper**: In October, China's waste copper imports were 196,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.81% and a year - on - year increase of 7.35%. However, the low domestic waste copper utilization rate limited the demand for recycled copper raw materials [41]. - **Demand Side** - **Copper - Aluminum Ratio**: The copper - aluminum ratio has exceeded 4.0, which is conducive to the substitution of aluminum for copper and suppresses copper consumption [31]. - **Downstream Products**: In October, the output of copper strips, copper rods, and other products decreased month - on - month due to high copper prices [48][52]. - **Real Estate**: The real estate market is still in the adjustment period, and the demand for copper in the real estate sector is suppressed [56]. - **New Energy**: In October 2025, China's new energy vehicle production was 1.71 million, a year - on - year increase of 19.3%. The new energy power generation sector maintained a high - growth trend, providing marginal demand for copper [61]. - **Home Appliances**: In October 2025, the production of air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines decreased year - on - year. Although there was some subsidy release in November - December, the home appliance market was still under pressure [64].
