Report Summary Investment Rating - The investment rating for the copper industry is "Oscillating with an upward bias" [1] Core View - The copper price in the Shanghai Futures Exchange opened high and moved low, showing a relatively strong performance during the day. The SMM predicts an increase in electrolytic copper production in December. The copper foil sector maintains a high level of prosperity, while the production enthusiasm of copper strips and tubes is weak. The market sentiment was boosted by the zero long - term agreement price of mine - end processing fees last week, but the downstream's weak purchasing sentiment due to year - end capital chain tension and tax - related factors, along with the uncertainties of the Russia - Ukraine conflict and the Federal Reserve, have increased market risk - aversion sentiment. Therefore, the Shanghai copper market is expected to oscillate with an upward bias [1] Summary by Directory 1. Market Analysis - In November, SMM China's electrolytic copper production was 1.1031 million tons, with a month - on - month increase of 11,500 tons (1.05%) and a year - on - year increase of 9.75%. From January to November, the cumulative production increased by 1.2894 million tons, a growth rate of 11.76%. SMM expects the electrolytic copper production in December to increase by 65,700 tons month - on - month (5.96%) and 6.69% year - on - year. Copper product profits were squeezed this week, and the production enthusiasm of copper strips was weak, with capacity utilization declining. Copper tube enterprises were restricted by capital pressure and mostly chose to wait and see. Copper foil maintained a high level of prosperity due to the demand for energy - storage batteries and the pre - demand of new - energy vehicles [1] 2. Futures and Spot Market Conditions - Futures: The Shanghai copper futures opened high and moved low, showing a relatively strong performance during the day. - Spot: The spot premium in East China was - 190 yuan/ton, and in South China was - 125 yuan/ton.

Group 1: Report's Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided regarding the industry investment rating in the given reports. Group 2: Report's Core View - The current market for Shanghai copper is in a downstream off - season, and the macro - market sentiment influences the price fluctuations. The Fed's upcoming interest - rate cut meeting has created uncertainty in the market's expectations for next year's rate cuts. After the rate cut is implemented, the market is expected to return to fundamental factors. Although the refined - scrap copper price difference is favorable, the lack of improvement in terminal consumption means this advantage is not obvious. With the continuous increase in copper prices, downstream demand is weak, and production is cautious. There are also factors such as smelter maintenance and changes in inventory levels affecting the market [1]. Group 3: Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Analysis - On December 10, 2025, Shanghai copper opened lower and trended lower, with weak intraday fluctuations. In November, the operating rate of recycled copper rods was 23.84%, higher than the expected 27.68%, down 2.62% month - on - month and 12.46% year - on - year. Four smelters are expected to undergo maintenance in December, with an expected impact of 0.5 tons on production, which will be reflected in January's production data. December's production is expected to increase due to previous restarts. After the continuous rise in prices, downstream demand is insufficient. Copper tube enterprises are cautious due to rising copper prices, and their production increase is limited. The production of copper strips in Steel Union's sample enterprises is 1.49 tons, with a weekly capacity utilization rate of 65.65%. The production rhythm has slowed down, and enterprises are cautious. The operating rate of refined copper rod enterprises has declined, with poor overall sales and inventory accumulation [1]. 2. Futures and Spot Market Conditions - Futures: Shanghai copper opened lower and trended lower, with weak intraday fluctuations. Spot: On December 10, 2025, the spot premium in East China was 40 yuan/ton, and in South China it was 65 yuan/ton. On December 9, 2025, the LME official price was 11,545 US dollars/ton, and the spot premium was + 18.5 US dollars/ton [4]. 3. Supply - side Situation - As of December 8, 2025, the spot rough smelting fee (TC) was - 43.03 US dollars/dry ton, and the spot refining fee (RC) was - 4.38 US cents/pound [6]. 4. Fundamental Tracking (Inventory) - SHFE copper inventory was 2.89 tons, a decrease of 600 tons from the previous period. As of December 8, Shanghai Free - Trade Zone copper inventory was 9.99 tons, an increase of 0.50 tons from the previous period. LME copper inventory was 16.50 tons, an increase of 1,125 tons from the previous period. COMEX copper inventory was 44.30 short tons, an increase of 3,537 short tons from the previous period [9].

Core Insights - The copper market is expected to maintain a tight balance in supply and demand, with prices projected to rise, reaching historical highs by the end of 2025, driven by financial factors and market sentiment rather than actual demand shortages [2][4][15] - Global refined copper demand in 2024 is anticipated to be dominated by China, accounting for 58% of total consumption, while the U.S. will contribute 6% [2][24] - China's copper demand is expected to grow steadily in 2025, with significant increases in the production of copper rods and tubes, while copper foil shows exceptional performance [3][25] Supply and Demand Dynamics - From January to August 2025, the global copper supply and demand remained in a tight balance, with an average monthly surplus of 0.8 thousand tons, despite high prices suppressing demand [2][19] - The refined copper consumption in 2025 is projected to increase, primarily driven by China, Japan, and Germany, while demand from Mexico and Finland is expected to decline [20][24] - The supply side is characterized by a slow increase in C1 costs and ongoing shortages in the mining sector, with refined copper production growth lagging behind that of copper concentrate [3][19] Price Trends and Market Sentiment - The copper price is expected to experience fluctuations, with a projected average of $9,704 per ton in 2025, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 6% [4][12] - The price movements in 2025 are influenced by traditional commodity attributes, with financial attributes showing a negative correlation, particularly as the U.S. dollar fluctuates [4][13][15] - The anticipated tight supply and steady demand are expected to keep copper prices on an upward trajectory, potentially reaching $10,500 per ton in 2026 [5][15] Investment Strategies - Investment opportunities are identified in upstream mining resources, particularly in companies with significant resource advantages, such as Zijin Mining and Luoyang Molybdenum [5] - Downstream processing companies with high barriers to entry are also recommended, including Hailiang Co., with a focus on those performing well in their respective sectors [5]

He hopes for a larger - scale interest rate cut in the December policy meeting [3]. Mining End Japanese JX Advanced Metals, its partners, and Mitsubishi Materials plan to integrate Mitsubishi's copper concentrate procurement and copper product sales business into Pan Pacific Copper (PPC). The integration aims to reduce costs and streamline sales operations [4]. Smelting and Import JX, one of Japan's largest copper smelters with an annual capacity of 450,000 tons, may cut copper production by tens of thousands of tons in the 2025 fiscal year. Mitsubishi also warned of reducing copper concentrate processing scale. Japan, Spain, and South Korea expressed concerns about the sharp decline in copper concentrate processing and refining fees (TC/RC) [5]. Consumption A survey of 59 domestic copper strip producers (covering 94.03% of the 3.58 million - ton capacity) showed that the domestic copper strip production in October 2025 was 189,100 tons, a 3.62% month - on - month decrease.
