Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core View of the Report - The copper price is expected to remain in a high - level range in the short term. The supply - side disturbances from the Congo accident are limited, and the release of smelting capacity restricts the upside space. The demand - side power investment has a significant supporting effect, but the weakness of the real - estate chain limits the increase. The repeated expectations of the Fed's policy at the macro - level make the market sentiment cautious. The expected fluctuation range of the SHFE copper main contract is 84,500 - 87,500 yuan/ton, and the central price of LME copper is 10,500 - 10,900 US dollars/ton [3] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Daily Market Summary - **Copper Futures Market Data Changes** - On November 19, the SHFE copper main contract closed at 86,030 yuan/ton, up 250 yuan/ton from the previous trading day but down 470 yuan/ton from November 13. The premium of flat - water copper widened to 50 yuan/ton, and the discount of wet - process copper remained at - 55 yuan/ton. The LME (0 - 3) discount widened to - 35.33 US dollars/ton, a new high in nearly two weeks [1] - On November 18, the LME copper open interest decreased by 4,891 lots to 319,542 lots, and the LME inventory decreased by 4.14% on a single day. In China, the SMM - monitored spot purchase sentiment index below 86,000 yuan/ton rose to 3.13, and the low price stimulated the release of downstream replenishment demand [1] - **Industry Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes** - **Supply Side**: There are both short - term disturbances and long - term increments. The bridge collapse accident at the Kalando copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo may affect local transportation, but the 60kt/a copper smelting project signed by Kefei Technology and the LEDYA Group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the discovery of high - grade ore bodies in the Mt Oxide project in Australia by TrueNorth Copper indicate medium - term supply increments. The end of the maintenance of smelters in North China has put pressure on the spot premium, and the domestic refined copper supply has become marginally looser [2] - **Demand Side**: Power infrastructure provides strong support. The 100MW wind power project of the Songzi Babao of the National Energy Group has been approved, and the supporting 160MWh energy storage facility will drive the demand for copper materials. The SMM spot purchase and sales sentiment index rose to 3.13/3.26 (purchase/sales), indicating that the rigid - demand buying was active below 86,000 yuan/ton. However, there are no significant signs of recovery in the construction and consumer electronics sectors [2] - **Inventory Side**: Global visible inventories are differentiated. The LME inventory decreased by 4.1% to 58,352 tons in a week, while the SHFE inventory increased to 140,500 tons, highlighting the domestic visible inventory pressure. However, the SMM inventory in the country's mainstream regions decreased by 0.73 million tons to 19.38 million tons on a month - on - month basis, mainly due to the small amount of imported goods. It is expected that the closure of the import window may continue the de - stocking trend [2] 2. Industry Chain Price Monitoring - The SMM:1 copper premium copper price on November 19 was 86,140 yuan/ton, up 40 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a change rate of 0.05%. The flat - water copper premium was 50 yuan/ton, up 20 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a change rate of 66.67%. The wet - process copper discount remained at - 55 yuan/ton. The SHFE price was 86,030 yuan/ton, up 250 yuan/ton from the previous day, with a change rate of 0.29%. The LME inventory decreased by 2,522 tons to 58,352 tons, with a decrease rate of 4.14% [5] 3. Industry Dynamics and Interpretations - On November 19, the supply of North China electrolytic copper market will return to normal due to the end of the maintenance of upstream smelters, which has put pressure on the spot premium, and the short - term trading activity in the market tends to heat up [6] - On November 18, Kefei Technology signed a general contract for the 60kt/a copper smelting project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. TrueNorth Copper made significant progress in the new discovery area of the Mt Oxide project in northern Queensland, revealing a continuous copper - cobalt - silver mineralization system [6][7] - On November 17, a bridge at a copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo collapsed, resulting in 49 deaths and 20 serious injuries. As of November 17, the SMM inventory in the country's mainstream regions decreased by 0.73 million tons to 19.38 million tons on a week - on - week basis. It is expected that the weekly copper inventory will decrease slightly in the future [7][8] 4. Industry Chain Data Charts - The report includes multiple data charts such as China PMI, US PMI, US employment situation, dollar index and LME copper price correlation, US interest rate and LME copper price correlation, TC processing fees, CFTC copper positions, LME copper net long positions, SHFE copper warrant volume, LME copper inventory changes, COMEX copper inventory changes, and SMM social inventory [9][10][12][13][14][18][21][23][27][29][32]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Cautiously Bullish [8] - Arbitrage: On Hold [8] - Options: Short Put [8] Core View of the Report Although high copper prices significantly inhibit consumption, due to tight supply at the mine end and better - than - expected performance of new energy sectors like photovoltaics in the second half of the year, copper prices are likely to maintain a volatile and upward - trending pattern [8]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market News and Important Data - **Futures Quotes**: On November 19, 2025, the main contract of Shanghai copper opened at 85,530 yuan/ton and closed at 86,080 yuan/ton, a 0.50% increase from the previous trading day's close.

Low copper prices supported downstream procurement, and the procurement and sales sentiment in Shanghai continued to rise. However, about 40,000 tons of delivery warehouse receipts in Jiangsu may suppress spot premiums [3]. - **Important Information Summary**: The Fed's October policy meeting minutes showed serious differences among policymakers on the interest - rate cut, and almost all agreed to stop the QT. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will not release the October employment report and will incorporate the data into the November report, to be released on December 16 [4]. Industry Chain Situation - **Mine End**: Freeport - McMoRan plans to resume large - scale production at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia in Q2 2026. In 2025 from January to September, the production of major copper enterprises showed differentiation, with some increasing and some decreasing. Codelco lowered its annual production target due to safety incidents [5]. - **Smelting and Import**: Last week, the Yangshan copper premium continued to weaken. The import window remained closed with a loss of about 850 yuan/ton. The foreign trade market was inactive, but there were two areas of structural activity. The market's focus is shifting to annual long - term contract negotiations [6]. - **Consumption**: China aims to add 100 GW of new - type energy storage capacity from 2025 - 2027, and the US is expected to add about 19 GW of storage power in 2025. Energy storage expansion will boost metal demand, and the copper demand in China's electric vehicle and energy - transition sectors is expected to increase by 18% to 3 million tons in 2025 [7]. - **Inventory and Warehouse Receipts**: LME warehouse receipts decreased by 50 tons to 269,800 tons, SHFE warehouse receipts decreased by 1,112 tons to 18,094 tons, and the domestic spot inventory of electrolytic copper was 114,300 tons, a 1,200 - ton increase from the previous week [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Fed meeting minutes showed significant differences among participants regarding the December interest - rate decision. Many thought it was not suitable to cut rates in December, while some were concerned about the disorderly decline of the stock market. The "new Fed newswire" believed that a slight majority of policymakers were uneasy about a December rate cut [8][23]. - For precious metals, the long - term upward trend of gold and silver is certain, but the short - term prices are volatile. Gold should be bought on dips, and silver may reach a new high this year if the macro - sentiment is favorable [9][10]. - Fuel oil and low - sulfur fuel oil have been following the decline of crude oil. High - sulfur fuel oil is expected to remain weaker than low - sulfur fuel oil, and the long - term strength reversal of low - sulfur fuel oil should be watched out for [11]. - PX supply is tight due to increased overseas aromatics blending demand and the planned reduction of South Korea's GS disproportionation unit, and its price has risen [12]. - The short - term trend of lithium carbonate is strong, but the risk of a price correction in the first - quarter demand off - season should be noted [13]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Fed Meeting and Macro - news - The Fed meeting minutes revealed that participants had different views on the December policy decision. Some thought a rate cut in December might be appropriate, many preferred to keep rates unchanged this year. Most believed that rate cuts in the context of high inflation and a cooling job market could exacerbate inflation risks. Almost all supported ending the balance - sheet reduction in December, and many supported increasing the proportion of short - term debt holdings [8]. - U.S. economic data is missing after the government shutdown, which has reduced the December rate - cut expectations. The 10 - month non - farm payroll report will not be released, and the 11 - month report is rescheduled to December 16 [10]. 3.2 Precious Metals (Gold and Silver) - Gold: The price has been affected by the change in rate - cut expectations. The recent fundamentals show that the price of Shanghai Gold 2512 closed at 937.00 with a daily increase of 2.01%, and the night - session price was 935.42 with a 0.53% increase. The overall trend is that the long - term is upward, but short - term fluctuations are large [9][10][20]. - Silver: It is in a state of shock adjustment. The price of Shanghai Silver 2512 closed at 12141 with a daily increase of 3.81%, and the night - session price was 12035.00 with a 0.63% increase. The spot supply is tight, and there is potential for a new high [9][10][20]. 3.3 Fuel Oil and Low - sulfur Fuel Oil - High - sulfur fuel oil: The spot trading was active in November, but the premium remained low. With the end of refinery maintenance in the Middle East, the supply is expected to increase, and it will be under pressure in the Asia - Pacific region [11]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: It has been strengthening recently due to ongoing refinery maintenance in Brazil, Japan, etc., and the high cracking spread of European gasoline and diesel. However, as overseas refineries return to operation in mid - November, there is a risk of price decline [11]. 3.4 PX - The supply of PX is tight due to increased overseas aromatics blending demand and the planned reduction of South Korea's GS disproportionation unit. The price has risen, and operations such as 5 - 9 spread positive arbitrage, long PX and short PTA/PF/PR, and long PX and short pure benzene hedging are recommended [12]. 3.5 Lithium Carbonate - The short - term trend is strong, but the industry is still in the de - stocking cycle. The spot trading is light, and downstream acceptance of high - price lithium salts is low. In the medium - term, the risk of price correction in the first - quarter off - season should be noted [13][48]. 3.6 Other Commodities - Copper: The price lacks a clear driver and is in a state of shock. The fundamentals show that the price of Shanghai Copper's main contract closed at 86110 with a 0.53% daily increase [24]. - Zinc: LME inventories have increased. The price of Shanghai Zinc's main contract closed at 22420 with a 0.49% daily increase [27]. - Lead: The reduction in inventory limits the price decline. The price of Shanghai Lead's main contract closed at 17250 with a 0.12% daily increase [30]. - Tin: The price has fallen from a high level. The price of Shanghai Tin's main contract closed at 288890 with a - 0.51% daily increase [34]. - Aluminum: It is in a range - bound shock.

The price of Shanghai Nickel's main contract closed at 115650 [42]. - Stainless steel: The weak reality suppresses the steel price, but the downside space is limited. The price of the stainless - steel main contract closed at 12335 [43]. - Industrial silicon: It is recommended to short on rallies. The price of Si2601 closed at 9390 [52]. - Polysilicon: Attention should be paid to when the positive - arbitrage funds leave the market. The price of PS2601 closed at 54625 [52]. - Iron ore: The downstream demand space is limited, and the valuation is high. The price of the iron - ore futures contract closed at 791.5 [55]. - Rebar and hot - rolled coil: Both are in a wide - range shock.
