Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - Macro-level factors like the potential end of the US government shutdown, the continuation of the Fed's interest rate cut cycle, and a more relaxed global monetary policy are favorable for copper prices, while on the supply-demand side, the recovery of Indonesian mines and weak short-term spot demand with high inventories may put pressure on the spot market in the future. In the short term, due to news stimulation, the market sentiment is strong and copper prices may fluctuate at a high level, but in the medium term, there is a contradiction between macro expectations and spot demand, with high uncertainty [3][4]. Summary According to Related Content Market Performance - Today, the LME copper rose slightly, trading around $10,785, and the Shanghai copper also rose slightly, closing at 86,480. The trading volume and open interest of Shanghai copper were basically stable, and the market sentiment was neutral [4]. - The Shanghai copper closed at 86,480, and the spot price was 88,610, with the spot at a premium of 130 points over the futures. The spot basis premium was 55 points, and the spot trading improved slightly. The LME spot discount narrowed to -$18 this week, and the external spot demand was average [3]. - This week, the RMB exchange rate rose significantly, and the Yangshan copper premium dropped to a recent low of $33.5, indicating poor domestic spot demand. The ratio of LME copper to Shanghai copper dropped to 8, and the premium of international copper over Shanghai copper dropped to 496 points, with the external price ratio higher than the internal one [3]. Market Analysis - Macroscopically, the global trade pattern is gradually stabilizing, the Fed's interest rate cut cycle continues, and the global monetary policy tends to be loose, which is beneficial to copper prices; on the supply-demand side, Indonesian mines are gradually resuming production, but the spot demand remains weak in the short term, with high inventories, and there may be pressure on the spot side in the future [4]. - Technically, the technical form of Shanghai copper is neutral. In the short term, market sentiment is strong due to news such as the end of the US government shutdown, and copper prices may fluctuate at a high level. In the medium term, there is a contradiction between macro expectations and spot demand, with high uncertainty [4]. Future Concerns - Future attention should be paid to when the US government shutdown will end, whether the Fed's interest rate cut cycle can continue, and when the current weak spot demand at home and abroad will improve [4].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The copper price is still strong due to the positive attitude from the Sino - US talks, the upcoming US interest - rate cut meeting this week, and the continuous tight situation in the copper mine on the fundamental side, which may widen the copper supply gap [1] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Market Analysis - China's industrial enterprise profits in September 2025 increased by 21.6% year - on - year, the fastest growth rate in nearly two years. The US "no longer considers" imposing 100% tariffs on China, and the macro - optimistic sentiment and positive expectations for Chinese demand have pushed up the copper price to a new high [1] - Incidents or shutdowns at mines in Indonesia, Chile, and Congo have led to a global shortage of copper concentrate supply. Domestic copper mine inventories have been continuously decreasing, and high TC/RC fees are the main driving force for the rise in copper prices [1] - There is a probability that copper production will continue to decline in November 2025. There are currently 5 smelters with maintenance plans, and the supply of anode plates will remain tight, lacking raw materials for copper smelting [1] - High copper prices have suppressed downstream purchasing enthusiasm, and social copper inventories have increased moderately recently. Attention should be paid to whether the inventory accumulation trend will continue [1] 3.2. Futures and Spot Market Conditions - Futures: Shanghai copper opened high and moved higher but declined during the day [1][4] - Spot: The spot premium in East China was - 60 yuan/ton, and in South China was 0 yuan/ton.

Copper Futures Market Data Change Analysis - **Main Contract and Basis**: On September 25, the SHFE main contract price soared to 82,540 yuan/ton, a 3.19% increase from September 24, breaking through the 83,000 yuan/ton mark. The basis weakened overall, with the premium copper discount dropping from 95 yuan/ton on September 24 to 80 yuan/ton, the flat copper discount widening from 15 yuan/ton to -10 yuan/ton, and the wet copper discount deepening to -60 yuan/ton. The LME (0 - 3) discount was -31.37 US dollars/ton on September 24 [1]. - **Position and Trading Volume**: During the sharp rise in copper prices, the position volume significantly expanded, but the trading volume clearly contracted. Affected by the high copper prices, the downstream purchasing sentiment weakened, and the daily trading volume of refined copper rods declined, with the spot market trading light [1]. Industry Chain Supply, Demand, and Inventory Change Analysis - **Supply Side**: Supply disturbances intensified. On September 25, Indonesia's Grasberg copper mine declared force majeure, with an expected 35% production decline in 2026. Coupled with the closure of the Constancia concentrator in Peru by Canada's Hudbay Minerals on September 24, it triggered global supply concerns. The trading activity in the upstream copper concentrate market was low, and the SMM import index reported -40.8 US dollars/dry ton on September 19, showing a slight recovery. Maintenance of northern refineries led to limited supply, and overall supply was tight [1]. - **Demand Side**: Demand was significantly suppressed by high copper prices. On September 25, downstream enterprises in the northern market had almost no inventory - building demand. Poor consumption prompted processing enterprises to consider extending the National Day holiday. New orders in the power, construction, and other sectors were scarce, and pre - holiday inventory building was weak. Although energy storage projects and the copper high - speed connector concept were active, the short - term boost was limited [2]. - **Inventory Side**: Inventory decreased slightly. As of September 25, the SHFE inventory was 144,425 tons, a decrease of 350 tons from September 24; the LME inventory increased to 27,662 tons, an increase of 243 tons from the 24th; the SMM national inventory as of September 22 was 144,500 tons, a decrease of 4,400 tons compared to the previous period [2]. Price Trend Judgment It is expected that copper prices may remain at a high level in the short term. The current mine accidents in the copper market resonate with the macro - level. The direct stimulation of demand by macro - level positives and the supply gap caused by the cancellation of contracts due to mine accidents have shifted the future balance sheet towards a supply - demand imbalance, and this upward movement has also opened up an upward operating space on the market [3].

Core Views - Low inventory and supply contradictions support the bottom, but the easing of tariff disturbances and the seasonal weakening of consumption will cause Shanghai copper to fluctuate in the short term. Attention should be paid to domestic policy expectations and the rhythm of inventory accumulation [5] - The inventory of copper in the Shanghai Futures Exchange has dropped to 72,543 tons, and the recovery of import demand supports the tightness of the spot market [4] - The port inventory of copper concentrate has dropped to 560,900 tons, and the processing fee remains at a low level of -$42.63 per ton, increasing the pressure on smelting plants to cut production [4] - The United States only imposes a 50% tariff on semi-finished copper products, exempting raw materials such as cathode copper. The decline in the COMEX premium has dragged down LME copper [4] - The growth rate of power grid investment has slowed down, and air conditioner production has entered the off-season. The end-users' acceptance of high prices is limited, which restricts the consumption elasticity [4] Copper Futures Market Data (Weekly) - The latest price of the main Shanghai copper contract is 78,400 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 1.07%, a position of 167,671 lots, and a trading volume of 80,943 lots [6] - The latest price of international copper is 69,530 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 1.18%, a position of 4,914 lots, and a trading volume of 4,289 lots [6] - The latest price of LME copper for three months is $9,803 per ton, with a weekly decline of 0.96%, a position of 239,014 lots, and a trading volume of 11,075 lots [6] - The latest price of COMEX copper is $566.95 per pound, with a weekly decline of 1.71%, a position of 104,219 lots, and a trading volume of 25,868 lots [6] Copper Spot Data (Weekly) - The latest price of Shanghai Nonferrous 1 copper is 78,330 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 1,120 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 1.41% [10] - The latest price of Shanghai Wumaomao is 78,985 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 720 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 0.9% [10] - The latest price of Guangdong Southern Storage is 78,890 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 620 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 0.78% [10] - The latest price of Yangtze River Nonferrous is 79,120 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 710 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 0.89% [12] - The latest price of Shanghai Nonferrous premium is 110 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 130 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 54.17% [12] - The latest price of Shanghai Wumaomao premium is 85 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 80 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 48.48% [12] - The latest price of Guangdong Southern Storage premium is 85 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 65 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 43.33% [12] - The latest price of Yangtze River Nonferrous premium is 115 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 60 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 34.29% [12] - The latest price of the LME copper (spot/three months) premium is -$51.71 per ton, with a weekly increase of $16.53 and a weekly decline rate of 24.22% [12] - The latest price of the LME copper (three months/15 months) premium is -$92.25 per ton, with a weekly increase of $10.37 and a weekly decline rate of 10.11% [12] Copper Advanced Data (Weekly) - The latest price of copper import profit and loss is -249.88 yuan per ton, with a weekly increase of 232.62 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 48.21% [13] - The latest price of copper concentrate TC is -$42.75 per ton, with a weekly increase of $0.42 and a weekly decline rate of 0.97% [13] - The latest copper-aluminum ratio is 3.7801, with a weekly decline of 0.0635 and a weekly decline rate of 1.65% [13] - The latest refined scrap price difference is 805.43 yuan per ton, with a weekly decline of 35.31 yuan and a weekly decline rate of 4.2% [13] Copper Inventory (Weekly) - The total warehouse receipt of Shanghai copper is 18,083 tons, with a weekly decline of 7,424 tons and a weekly decline rate of 29.11% [17] - The total warehouse receipt of international copper is 3,313 tons, with a weekly decline of 1,354 tons and a weekly decline rate of 29.01% [17] - The inventory of Shanghai copper is 73,423 tons, with a weekly decline of 11,133 tons and a weekly decline rate of 13.17% [17] - The registered warehouse receipt of LME copper is 108,225 tons, with a weekly decline of 4,375 tons and a weekly decline rate of 3.89% [17] - The cancelled warehouse receipt of LME copper is 19,400 tons, with a weekly increase of 7,150 tons and a weekly increase rate of 58.37% [17] - The inventory of LME copper is 127,625 tons, with a weekly increase of 2,775 tons and a weekly increase rate of 2.22% [19] - The registered warehouse receipt of COMEX copper is 109,453 tons, with a weekly increase of 1,404 tons and a weekly increase rate of 1.3% [19] - The unregistered warehouse receipt of COMEX copper is 143,978 tons, with a weekly increase of 8,246 tons and a weekly increase rate of 6.08% [19] - The inventory of COMEX copper is 253,431 tons, with a weekly increase of 9,650 tons and a weekly increase rate of 3.96% [19] - The port inventory of copper ore is 409,000 tons, with a weekly decline of 48,000 tons and a weekly decline rate of 10.5% [19] - The social inventory is 418,200 tons, with a weekly increase of 4,300 tons and a weekly increase rate of 1.04% [19] Copper Midstream Production (Monthly) - In June 2025, the monthly output of refined copper was 1.302 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 14.2%.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Group 2: Report's Core View - The copper price is still oscillating within a wide - range, mainly affected by macro - environment changes. With terminal demand support and a tight supply expectation, the upward and downward amplitudes are limited. Attention should be paid to the progress of copper tariffs and wait for new drivers [1] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Strategy Analysis - The Shanghai copper opened low, rose, and was under pressure during the day. The weak US economic data pressured the US dollar. The Trump administration doubled steel and aluminum import tariffs to 50% and launched a Section 232 investigation on copper imports, triggering strong expectations of copper tariff policies. The supply is expected to be tight, but the actual supply has not decreased yet. The domestic PMI data is good, and the off - season demand is resilient, supporting the copper price. The inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange has continued to decline since the end of May, confirming the downstream export and demand. The demand has weakened marginally in the short - term and entered the off - season, but there are no obvious changes in the fundamentals [1] Periodic and Spot Market Quotes - Futures: Opened high, went low, then high, fluctuated, and closed down, at 78270. The long positions of the top twenty decreased by 2631 to 126036 hands, and the short positions decreased by 1325 to 128264 hands. Spot: The spot premium in East China was 90 yuan/ton, and in South China was - 5 yuan/ton. On June 2, 2025, the LME official price was 9619 dollars/ton, and the spot premium was 54.5 dollars/ton [4] Supply Side - As of May 30, the spot rough smelting fee (TC) was - 43.45 dollars/dry ton, and the spot refining fee (RC) was - 4.34 cents/pound [6] Fundamental Tracking - Inventory: SHFE copper inventory was 31700 tons, a decrease of 246 tons from the previous period. As of May 29, the copper inventory in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone was 52000 tons, a decrease of 1900 tons from the previous period. LME copper inventory was 138000 tons, a slight decrease of 3350 tons from the previous period. COMEX copper inventory was 185700 short tons, an increase of 1498 short tons from the previous period [9]

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core View - The Trump administration's plan to double steel and aluminum import tariffs and initiate a Section 232 investigation on copper imports has led to strong expectations of copper tariff policies. China's economic output is expanding, with the May manufacturing PMI up 0.5 percentage points and the composite PMI output index up 0.2 percentage points from the previous month. The supply side is expected to remain tight, but the actual supply of refined copper has not decreased. The domestic PMI data is positive, and the demand during the off - season is resilient, which supports copper prices. The inventory of the Shanghai Futures Exchange has continued to decline since the end of May, indicating downstream demand. If the copper tariff policy becomes clearer, it may lead to expectations of supply shortages and benefit copper prices. Currently, copper is still in a volatile range, and attention should be paid to subsequent tariff policies and downstream demand resilience [1]. Group 3: Summary by Directory Strategy Analysis - The Shanghai copper market opened high and closed slightly lower. The Trump administration's actions on tariffs have raised expectations of copper tariff policies. China's economic indicators show expansion. The supply of copper is expected to be tight, but actual supply remains stable. The domestic PMI data is good, and off - season demand is resilient, supporting copper prices. The inventory decline in the Shanghai Futures Exchange reflects downstream demand. Uncertainty in tariff policies and the economy persists. If copper tariff policies become clear, it may boost copper prices. Currently, copper is in a volatile range, and attention should be paid to tariff policies and downstream demand [1].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report In the next 1 - 2 weeks, the upside space for copper is limited. There is a continuous game between the shortage of recycled copper raw materials and the release of mine production capacity on the supply side, and the resumption of scrap copper trade between China and the US still takes time. On the demand side, post - delivery restocking by downstream enterprises may briefly boost the spot premium, but high copper prices still suppress purchasing willingness. At the macro level, the decline of the US April CPI to 2.3% weakens the support for the US dollar. Overall, copper needs to be wary of inventory pressure and the risk of macro - sentiment switching [6]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Daily Market Summary - **Copper Futures Market Data Changes Analysis** - On May 14, 2025, the price of the SHFE copper main contract rose slightly to 78,630 yuan/ton, a 0.95% increase from the previous day, and the LME copper price also rose to $9,624.5/ton. The spot discount of domestic premium copper widened to - 15 yuan/ton, and the discounts of flat - water copper and wet - process copper deepened to - 40 yuan/ton and - 80 yuan/ton respectively. The LME (0 - 3) premium dropped from $23.87/ton on May 8 to $19.17/ton [1]. - The SHFE copper open interest continued to shrink, with the inventory on May 14 dropping to 185,575 tons, a 2.15% decrease from the previous week, while the LME copper inventory soared to 50,069 tons, a 71.72% increase from the previous period. In terms of trading volume, the trading volume of the BC copper main contract was 16,871 lots, and the open interest increased to 2,471 lots, indicating increased capital activity [2]. - **Analysis of Industrial Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes** - **Supply Side**: In April 2025, the operating rate of Chinese scrap - produced anode copper enterprises decreased by 5.33 percentage points to 44.32% month - on - month due to the shortage of recycled copper raw materials, while the operating rate of mineral anode copper enterprises increased slightly by 2.50 percentage points to 72.40%. The new project of Chifeng Chehugou Copper - Molybdenum Mine (with a reserve of 9 billion tons) and the progress of the Ambler Mining Area Act in Alaska, USA, indicate the potential for medium - and long - term mine production capacity release, but it is difficult to alleviate the supply gap of recycled copper in the short term. The suspension of Sino - US trade has led to a loosening of scrap copper exports, but inventory transfer still takes time [3]. - **Demand Side**: Downstream demand is marginally weakening. Near the delivery date, the purchasing sentiment in the spot market is suppressed by the high monthly spread. In North China, the spot discount widened to 480 yuan/ton, and downstream enterprises generally wait to purchase after the contract change. There is a structural adjustment in the consumer electronics field, such as Solus, a Samsung supplier, accelerating the divestiture of its OLED business to focus on copper foil production, reflecting the industry's long - term bet on copper demand for electric vehicle batteries, but there is no significant boost in short - term demand in the power and construction sectors [4]. - **Inventory Side**: Global inventories are diverging. The LME copper inventory soared by 20,912 tons to 50,069 tons, reaching a phased high; the SHFE inventory continued to decline to 185,600 tons. The COMEX inventory also slightly increased to 165,100 short tons [5]. 3.2 Industrial Chain Price Monitoring | Data Index | May 14, 2025 | May 13, 2025 | May 8, 2025 | Change | Change Rate | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SMM: 1 Copper | 79,060 | 78,270 | 78,560 | 790 | 1.01% | yuan/ton | | Premium Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | - 15 | 5 | - 5 | - 20 | - 400.00% | yuan/ton | | Flat - Water Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | - 40 | - 25 | - 30 | - 15 | - 60.00% | yuan/ton | | Wet - Process Copper (Spot Premium/Discount) | - 80 | - 70 | - 75 | - 10 | - 14.29% | yuan/ton | | LME (0 - 3) | - | 19 | 24 | - | - | dollars/ton | | SHFE | 78,630 | 77,890 | 78,070 | 740 | 0.95% | yuan/ton | | LME | - | 9,625 | 9,502 | - | - | dollars/ton | | LME Inventory | 50,069 | 29,157 | 20,084 | 20,912 | 71.72% | tons | | SHFE Inventory | 185,575 | 189,650 | 190,750 | - 4,075 | - 2.15% | tons | | COMEX Inventory | - | 165,112 | 163,458 | - | - | short tons | [8] 3.3 Industry Dynamics and Interpretations - In May 2025, the expected operating rate of scrap - produced anode copper enterprises is 43.62%, a 0.70 - percentage - point decrease month - on - month, mainly affected by the shortage of recycled copper raw materials [9]. - In April 2025, the operating rate of Chinese anode copper enterprises was 53.37%, a 2.80 - percentage - point decrease month - on - month.
