1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Copper: Cautiously bullish [7] - Arbitrage: On hold [7] - Options: Short put [7] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current tight supply at the mine end and the continuously low TC prices remain unchanged. Overseas smelters are exploring new processing fee pricing logics, and China's Non - Ferrous Metals Supply Association has proposed setting an upper limit on some non - ferrous metal smelting capacities. The positive factors on the demand side are mostly at the expected level, and actual consumption may not be outstanding. The November strategy is to mainly conduct buy - hedging on dips, with the recommended buying range between 85,500 yuan/ton and 86,000 yuan/ton. When the price approaches 89,000 yuan/ton, sell - hedging can be carried out [7]. 3.

Other Information - The bonded - area inventory has rebounded from a low level, and the processing fee has declined [13][15].

Core Viewpoint - In the context of significant disruptions in existing projects and bottlenecks in new projects, global major copper mining companies are expected to see a nearly 5% year-on-year decline in output by Q3 2025, with a continuation of contraction anticipated in Q4 2025 [1] Supply and Demand Analysis - Domestic refined copper apparent demand is expected to remain stable in Q4 2025, but supply may decline quarter-on-quarter due to raw material shortages and potential "anti-involution" effects, leading to inventory consumption days dropping below the five-year average of less than 10 days by year-end [1] - With an upward revision in global economic expectations and increasing trade risks, the fragile low inventory situation may exacerbate price elasticity upwards, with LME copper prices projected to range between $10,000 and $12,000 per ton in Q4 2025 [1] Future Projections - Domestic power grid investment and global AI development are expected to drive steady demand growth, with an anticipated demand increase of approximately 200,000 tons next year [1] - Global refined copper is projected to face shortages of 210,000 tons and 300,000 tons in the next two years, contrasting with a surplus of 280,000 tons last year, indicating a significant shift in market dynamics [1] - The LME copper price midpoint is expected to rise from $9,700 per ton this year to $11,000 per ton [1] Investment Recommendations - The combination of raw material shortages and potential "anti-involution" is likely to support a contraction in domestic refined copper supply in Q4, alongside stable demand, leading to a moderate reduction in domestic inventory [1] - The anticipated low supply and steady demand next year will widen the global refined copper supply gap by 50%, with LME copper prices expected to demonstrate upward elasticity above $10,000 per ton, suggesting investment opportunities in the copper sector [1]

Core Viewpoint - The report from CITIC Securities indicates a significant decline in copper production among major global mining companies, with a nearly 5% year-on-year decrease in Q3, and a continuation of this trend expected in Q4. The report suggests that raw material shortages and potential "anti-involution" factors will contribute to a contraction in domestic refined copper supply in Q4, alongside stable demand, leading to a moderate reduction in domestic inventory. Furthermore, a projected 50% widening of the global refined copper supply gap due to low supply and steady demand in the coming year is anticipated, with LME copper prices expected to exceed $10,000 per ton, showcasing upward elasticity. The report recommends investment opportunities in the copper sector [1]. Group 1 - Major global copper mining companies experienced a nearly 5% year-on-year decline in production in Q3, with expectations for continued contraction in Q4 [1] - Domestic refined copper supply is projected to contract in Q4 due to raw material shortages and stable demand, leading to a moderate reduction in domestic inventory [1] - A 50% widening of the global refined copper supply gap is anticipated next year, driven by low supply and steady demand, with LME copper prices expected to exceed $10,000 per ton [1]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The decline in copper prices this week was mainly affected by Powell's hawkish speech at the Fed's interest - rate meeting, which strengthened the US dollar and suppressed the rise of non - ferrous metals. Also, the decline in China's manufacturing PMI data and weak domestic industrial demand expectations contributed to the drop. However, fundamentally, the long - term upward trend of copper prices is hard to change. The shortage of copper concentrates and production cuts at smelters will lead to a decline in copper output. With global copper inventories at a low level, there is still an expected supply gap even if demand increases significantly. Currently, the decline in copper prices should be seen as a correction, and in the medium - to - long - term, copper prices will remain strong [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro Situation - In October, China's manufacturing PMI dropped to 49.0%, a decrease of 0.8 percentage points from the previous month, indicating a decline in the prosperity level. The non - manufacturing PMI was 50.1, up 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, and the composite PMI output index was 50%, down 0.6 percentage points from the previous month [3][5]. - On October 30, 2025, the Sino - US leaders' meeting in Busan brought positive signals to the market. The US will cancel the 10% "fentanyl tariff" on Chinese goods, and both sides will adjust relevant tariff and export control measures [7]. - On October 30, 2025, the Fed announced a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut, lowering the interest rate to the 3.75% - 4.00% range [7]. 3.2 Shanghai Copper Price Trend - This week, Shanghai copper first rose and then fell. The weekly high was 89,270 yuan/ton, the low was 86,530 yuan/ton, the weekly volatility was 3.12%, and the range decline was 0.81% [9]. 3.3 Shanghai Copper Spot Market - As of October 31, the average spot premium in East China was 0 yuan/ton, and in South China, it was also 0 yuan/ton. Due to the low willingness of downstream buyers to purchase at high prices, the premium of holders was under pressure, and the spot premium remained at a low level [14]. 3.4 London Copper Spread Structure - As of October 31, LME copper rose 0.68% this week, closing at $10,915/ton. Although there was a slight decline recently, the overall upward trend continued. Recently, it was under pressure due to the strengthening of the US dollar [19]. 3.5 Copper Concentrate Supply - Customs data on October 31 showed that the port inventory of copper concentrates was 461,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 14.11%. In September 2025, China imported 25.87 million tons of copper concentrates and ores, a year - on - year increase of 6.2% and a month - on - month decrease of 6.23%. This week, the inventory of copper concentrates rebounded but was still significantly lower than the same period last year. The copper mine resources were tight, and the accident at the Indonesian copper mine was expected to affect global copper supply until next year [24]. - There have been frequent disruptions at copper mines this year. For example, the Grasberg copper mine in Indonesia had a mudslide in September, the Kamoa - Kakula copper mine had an earthquake in May, and the El Teniente mine suspended underground operations in July [24]. - On October 28, Indonesia announced that it would issue a copper concentrate export license to Amman Mining International, which may ease the tight supply of copper concentrates to some extent [24]. 3.6 Scrap Copper Supply - From January to September 2025, China imported 1.4496 million metal tons of scrap copper, a year - on - year increase of 1.39%. Affected by Document No. 770, the procurement of anode copper was still affected. With the recent rise in copper prices, the supply of scrap copper is expected to increase to make up for the shortage of copper concentrates [29]. 3.7 Smelter Fees - As of October 31, China's spot rough smelting fee (TC) was - $42.06/ton dry, and the refining fee (RC) was - 4.13 cents/pound. The TC/RC fees remained weakly stable. The long - term contract price was still under negotiation, and the market expected it to be zero or negative due to the tight supply of copper concentrates [33]. - In October, 8 smelters carried out maintenance, involving a rough smelting capacity of 1.4 million tons, and the impact on production increased by 47,300 tons compared with September. In November, 5 smelters are expected to carry out maintenance, and copper production is showing a downward trend [33][37]. - The rise in gold, silver, and sulfuric acid prices and the long - term contract price can make up for some losses of smelters, but the continuous negative smelting processing fees still have a negative impact on smelters [33]. 3.8 Refined Copper Supply - In October, SMM's statistics showed that China's electrolytic copper output decreased by 29,400 tons month - on - month, a decrease of 2.62% month - on - month and an increase of 9.63% year - on - year. In November, 5 smelters are expected to carry out maintenance, and copper production will decline [37]. - In September 2025, China imported 485,000 tons of unwrought copper and copper products, and exported 26,400 tons of unwrought refined copper cathodes and cathode profiles, a year - on - year increase of 81.47% and a month - on - month decrease of 28.15% [37]. 3.9 Apparent Demand - As of September 2025, the apparent consumption of copper was 1.4665 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 2.98%. The recent rise in copper prices has suppressed downstream demand to some extent, and the downstream operating rate has declined slightly. However, in the long term, the demand for copper is still strong, driven by investment in power grid projects, the development of AI computing power, and the stabilization of the real estate market [42]. 3.10 Copper Products - According to the research of Steel Union, more than half of the sampled refined copper rod enterprises have reduced or stopped production, and several enterprises have plans to do so in the future. It is expected that only 25% of the sampled enterprises will maintain normal production in the long term, mainly due to the sharp increase in copper prices and the lack of enthusiasm of downstream buyers [47]. - Copper tube enterprises mainly sell through long - term contracts, so their production and operation are relatively stable. The market is in the off - season, and enterprises adjust their operating rates according to actual orders. The supply of copper foil is still tight due to the strong demand in the downstream new energy and consumer electronics markets, and the operating load remains high [47]. 3.11 Power Grid Project Data - As of the end of September, the country's cumulative installed power generation capacity was 3.72 billion kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 17.5%. Among them, the installed capacity of solar power generation was 1.13 billion kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 45.7%, and the installed capacity of wind power was 580 million kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 21.3%. From January to September, the average utilization hours of the country's power generation equipment were 2,368 hours, a decrease of 251 hours compared with the same period last year [51]. 3.12 Real Estate and Infrastructure Data - From January to September, the sales area of newly built commercial housing was 658.35 million square meters, a year - on - year decrease of 5.5%, and the sales volume was 6.304 trillion yuan, a decrease of 7.9%. Among them, the sales area and volume of residential housing decreased by 5.6% and 7.6% respectively [57]. 3.13 Automobile/New Energy Automobile Industry Data - In September 2025, the production and sales of new energy vehicles were 1.617 million and 1.604 million respectively, a year - on - year increase of 23.7% and 24.6% respectively. From October 1 - 19, the retail sales of new energy vehicles in the national passenger car market were 632,000, a year - on - year increase of 5% and a month - on - month increase of 2%, and the penetration rate was 56.1% [61]. - In the 2025 "trade - in" program for cars, new energy vehicles accounted for 57.2%, driving a 24.4% year - on - year increase in the retail sales of new energy passenger cars from January to September, with a market penetration rate of 52.1% [61]. 3.14 Global Copper Inventories in Major Exchanges - LME copper inventories continued to decline. As of October 31, LME copper inventories decreased by 1,725 tons to 134,600 tons, significantly lower than the same period last year, indicating the pressure on global copper supply. Small changes in copper supply can easily cause large fluctuations in market prices [66]. - As of October 31, COMEX copper inventories were 355,700 tons, a week - on - week increase of 2.21%. Since the 232 copper tariff investigation, COMEX copper inventories have increased to 300% higher than the same period last year. Although COMEX copper inventories are at a high level, the global total inventory is still low, and the large amount of copper in COMEX cannot adjust the global copper supply imbalance [66]. - As of October 30, the total copper inventories in the bonded areas of Shanghai and Guangdong were 114,700 tons, showing a decline. Although there were still some export goods arriving at individual markets, some warehouse goods were shipped overseas for warehousing, resulting in an overall decline in inventory [72]. - The inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange continued to increase. High - priced copper suppressed downstream procurement demand, reducing the circulation of copper and leading to inventory accumulation. As of October 31, the copper inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 39,700 tons, a week - on - week increase of 13.23%. Although the copper concentrate resources in the market were scarce, the mid - end smelting capacity was still operating normally [72].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The long - term upward logic of copper remains unchanged despite the transformation of new and old driving forces. Although the supply is tight and the traditional consumption growth rate has declined, the growth of new consumption areas such as energy storage batteries, new energy vehicles, and future AI will offset the negative impact of the decline in traditional consumption [2][6]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Copper Market Overview 3.1.1 Market Review In October, copper prices entered an accelerated upward phase, with the lowest price on October 10 reaching $10,374 per ton for LME copper or 82,630 yuan per ton for SHFE copper, and the highest reaching the historical high pressure level of $11,094 per ton for LME copper or 88,700 yuan per ton for SHFE copper. Macroscopically, the US government shutdown and Trump's tariff statement had limited impact. Fundamentally, the tightness of copper mines intensified, and domestic production declined. Consumption was weak, and downstream acceptance of high prices was low [5][11][12]. 3.1.2 Market Outlook In terms of supply, the incremental supply of copper mines is expected to be 50,000 tons, lower than 2024. The overall supply of copper mines is more tense, and the global refined copper production is expected to increase by 950,000 tons, with a year - on - year growth of 3.53%. The consumption growth rate is expected to drop to 3.4%. In terms of price, the long - term loose monetary policy in the US is positive, and the support level is 85,000 - 86,000 yuan per ton, with a short - term pressure level of 89,000 - 90,000 yuan per ton [13][14]. 3.1.3 Strategy Recommendation Unilateral: Adopt the idea of buying on dips, with a support level of 85,000 - 86,000 yuan per ton and a short - term pressure level of 89,000 - 90,000 yuan per ton. Arbitrage: If the export window opens, exit the positive spread temporarily and re - enter later. Options: Wait and see [7]. 3.2 Sino - US Relations Eased, and the Expectation of Fed Rate Cuts Strengthened On October 10, Trump's tariff statement had limited impact, and Sino - US relations later eased. On October 29, the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but the probability of a December rate cut dropped. The US employment data was weak, and the CPI was relatively stable. Domestically, the manufacturing PMI rebounded slightly, but consumer growth was weak [23]. 3.3 Copper Mine Disturbances Increased, and the Tight Supply Situation was Difficult to Alleviate 3.3.1 Sharp Drop in the Incremental Supply of Copper Concentrates In 2025, the global incremental supply of copper concentrates is expected to be about 50,000 tons, with a year - on - year growth of 0.22%. The supply - side disturbances increased, and the processing fee is likely to be less than or equal to $0 per ton. Some major mining companies reduced their production plans, while the import volume of copper concentrates in China increased [34][35][36]. 3.3.2 Decline in the Start - up of Recycling Processing Enterprises, and the Tight Supply of Scrap Copper was Temporarily Alleviated The global supply of scrap copper did not decrease, but the trade flow changed. The import volume of scrap copper in China was relatively stable, but the growth rate was lower than last year. The tax - refund policy affected the start - up of recycling copper rod enterprises. The import volume of anode copper decreased, while the import volume of scrap copper ingots increased [44][45][47]. 3.3.3 Accelerated Transmission of Raw Material Supply Shortage to the Smelting End The global refined copper production is expected to increase by 950,000 tons, with a year - on - year growth of 3.53%. Overseas smelters cut production, and domestic production also declined due to factors such as maintenance and anode plate shortage. The import of refined copper in China increased in September, but the inflow speed may slow down [50][51][53]. 3.4 Consumption Analysis 3.4.1 Obvious Decline in the Growth Rate of Traditional Consumption - **Real Estate Market**: From January to September, the sales area and completion area of new commercial housing decreased year - on - year. The consumption of electrolytic copper was still dragged down. It is estimated that the copper consumption will decrease by 123,700 tons to 1,113,700 tons [61][62]. - **Power Grid and Power Projects**: From January to September, the investment in the power grid increased by 9.9% year - on - year, and the investment in power projects increased by 0.6%. High copper prices inhibited the procurement of downstream enterprises, and the export of copper cables may decline in October [67][68]. - **Home Appliances**: The production schedule of household air - conditioners in November decreased significantly year - on - year. It is expected that the annual consumption growth rate of air - conditioners will drop to 5%, and the copper consumption of white goods will increase from 2,168,300 tons to 2,267,800 tons [78][81]. 3.4.2 Resilience of Automobile Consumption - **Domestic Automobile Consumption**: In September, domestic automobile production and sales increased significantly. From January to September, the production and sales of new energy vehicles increased by 35.2% and 34.9% respectively. The sales of new energy vehicles are expected to be driven by the policy of resuming the purchase tax in 2026 [86][88]. - **New Energy Vehicle Consumption in Europe and the US**: From January to August, global new energy vehicle sales increased by 23.46% year - on - year. In the US and Europe, new energy vehicle sales also showed growth trends. It is estimated that the global new energy vehicle copper consumption will increase from 1,220,800 tons in 2024 to 1,401,100 tons in 2025 [95][96]. 3.4.3 Unexpected Growth of Wind and Solar Power Generation - **Photovoltaic Installation**: From January to September, China's new photovoltaic installation capacity increased by 49.34% year - on - year. The China Photovoltaic Industry Association raised the annual new installation capacity forecast. It is estimated that the global new photovoltaic installation capacity will reach 630GW in 2025 [104][108]. - **Wind Power Installation**: From January to September, China's new wind power installation capacity increased by 56.16% year - on - year. It is predicted that China's new wind power installation will reach 105 - 115GW in 2025, and the global new wind power installation capacity will increase to 138GW [119]. 3.4.4 Explosive Growth of Lithium - Ion Copper Foil In 2024, the global copper foil production capacity was 2,544,000 tons. From January to September 2025, China's lithium - ion copper foil production was 624,300 tons, with a year - on - year growth of 38%. If calculated according to a 35% consumption growth rate, the annual production will reach 853,800 tons, driving domestic consumption by 1.38% [126]. 3.4.5 Consumption Summary It is expected that the global consumption growth rate will drop to 3.4%. Overseas demand remains stable, while domestic demand weakens marginally. Processing enterprises and downstream raw material inventories are low, and there will be restocking demand if prices decline [131]. 3.5 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet In 2025, the growth of copper mines is expected to be 50,000 tons, and the refined copper production will increase by 950,000 tons. The consumption growth rate will drop to 3.4%. The supply gap of copper concentrates is expected to expand to 680,000 tons, and the refined copper is expected to have a surplus of 376,000 tons, mainly in the US. Domestically, the consumption growth rate is expected to decline from October to December [135][136].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The absolute price of copper is cautiously bullish, arbitrage is on hold, and the option strategy is short put [8] Core View of the Report - The copper price is temporarily in a volatile pattern, and it may take some time for the demand side to gain momentum. Although the copper price is in a pattern where it is easy to rise and difficult to fall, the current demand side has no outstanding performance. When the price approaches or exceeds 90,000 yuan/ton, enterprises with selling hedging needs can choose the right time to operate [1][8] Summary by Related Catalogs Market News and Important Data - **Futures Market**: On October 30, 2025, the opening price of the main Shanghai copper contract was 88,780 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 87,960 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.85% compared with the previous trading day's closing price. The opening price of the main Shanghai copper contract in the night session was 87,380 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 87,270 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.78% compared with the afternoon closing price of the previous day [1] - **Spot Market**: According to SMM, the spot price of SMM 1 electrolytic copper was at a discount of 130 yuan to a premium of 20 yuan/ton, with an average discount of 55 yuan, a slight increase of 5 yuan compared with the previous day. The price range of electrolytic copper was 87,800 - 88,330 yuan/ton. The market's purchasing and sales sentiment has slightly improved, and downstream buyers are making rigid demand purchases at low prices. It is expected that the downstream's willingness to stock up will increase tomorrow, but holders are not willing to sell at high copper prices, and transactions will still be concentrated on low - priced resources [2] Important Information Summary - **Sino - US Relations**: The leaders of China and the United States held a meeting. The two countries' economic and trade teams exchanged in - depth views on important economic and trade issues and reached a consensus on solving problems. The US will cancel the 10% so - called "fentanyl tariff" on Chinese goods, and the 24% reciprocal tariff on Chinese goods will continue to be suspended for one year. The US will suspend the implementation of the 50% penetration rule of export control and the 301 investigation measures against China's maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding industries for one year. China will adjust or suspend relevant counter - measures accordingly [3] - **Central Bank Policies**: The European Central Bank has maintained the benchmark interest rate at 2% for the third consecutive time, believing that inflation has reached the 2% target level and is not in a hurry to adjust policies. Although the euro - zone economy has shown better - than - expected growth and certain resilience, geopolitical tensions and US tariff uncertainties still pose risks [3] Mining End - New Gold released strong third - quarter results. The mine in Ontario set a record high output, and the Rainy River gold mine's third - quarter gold output increased by 63% compared with the second quarter, reaching 100,301 ounces, with a significant 39% reduction in full cost. The New Afton copper - gold mine produced 14,912 ounces of gold and 12 million pounds of copper in the third quarter. The combined gold output of the two mines in the third quarter was 15,213 ounces, providing key support for achieving the annual target [4] Smelting and Import - Codelco is reviewing its operation and investment plans for the next few years. Some internal managers are promoting a strategic shift to prioritize profits over output. The company is evaluating plans for "marginal assets" in its annual planning meeting, including the Gabriela Mistral (Gaby) mine with the lowest ore grade and the Potrerillos smelter. No decision has been made yet [4] Consumption - The "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for Formulating the 14th Five - Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" guides the supply - demand pattern of non - ferrous metals. Green metals such as copper and aluminum benefit from new energy and power grid construction, and photovoltaic and wind power projects also drive demand growth, while the supply side is continuously tight due to energy consumption constraints. New energy minerals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt are empowered by policies. Traditional metals such as zinc and lead mainly rely on infrastructure investment, and high - end varieties such as high - purity gallium and tungsten carbide see rising demand driven by emerging industries [5] Inventory and Warehouse Receipts - LME warehouse receipts changed by 775 tons to 134,950 tons compared with the previous trading day. SHFE warehouse receipts changed by 1,692 tons to 37,437 tons. On October 30, the domestic spot inventory of electrolytic copper was 182,600 tons, a change of - 19,000 tons compared with the previous week [6][7]
