1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The copper price is expected to continue the pattern of being stronger in the domestic market and weaker in the international market, as well as being weaker in the near - term and stronger in the far - term. Currently, the macro - environment is favorable for copper prices, while the industrial side shows a neutral - to - bearish trend [2][3][4]. 3. Summary According to Related Content Impact of US Tariff Policy - On July 30, the US President announced a 50% tariff on imported copper semi - products and copper - intensive derivatives starting from August 1. The New York copper price dropped by over 18% on the same day, and the spread between COMEX copper and LME copper quickly narrowed to the pre - tariff - expectation level. Copper ores and cathode copper were exempted from the tariff, which is beyond market expectations. This exemption is bullish for copper prices from a global supply - demand perspective. After the spread convergence, US copper imports may decline in the second half of the year, increasing non - US copper supply and being bearish for LME and SHFE copper [2]. Macroeconomic Factors - The current high global market risk appetite and the good performance of domestic and foreign equity markets are bullish for copper prices. The unexpectedly weak US non - farm data and lower - than - expected non - manufacturing PMI at the beginning of the month increased the expectation of a US economic slowdown and Fed rate - cut expectations, causing the US dollar index to fall. The market expects the Fed to cut rates three times this year, with a cumulative cut of 75 basis points [2]. - There is a risk of a macro - environment shift. If the US economy continues to weaken, copper prices will be under pressure; if the US economy stabilizes and the Fed cuts rates, it will be bullish for copper prices [3]. Domestic Market Conditions - In July, the domestic macro - environment was positive. With the "anti - involution" policy, domestic - priced commodities generally rose. The strong trend continued in late July but cooled down at the end of the month, and commodities entered an adjustment phase. The current spot industry is in the off - season, with limited impact on copper prices. Supported by the macro - environment, far - month copper contracts are stronger than near - month contracts. Domestic electrolytic copper inventory de - stocking has slowed down, while overseas copper inventory has been accumulating at a high level, resulting in the pattern of stronger domestic and weaker international copper prices. Domestic upstream smelters maintain high production, and refined copper imports are expected to increase, putting pressure on the domestic industry [3]. Trade Agreement and Its Impact - In August, the new US tariff policy was implemented, and the US reached new trade agreements with major global economies, possibly extending the current tariff policy for 90 days. This reduces global economic uncertainty and is expected to keep the market risk - appetite high, which is bullish for copper prices [3]. - The joint statement of the Sino - US Stockholm economic and trade talks on August 12, 2025, involving a 90 - day tariff extension and non - tariff measure adjustment, indicates an improvement in Sino - US trade relations and is also bullish for copper prices [4].

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the **Chinese economy**, focusing on **trade dynamics** including exports and imports, particularly in relation to the United States and other regions. Key Insights and Arguments 1. **Export Growth Trends** - In July, the year-on-year export growth rate increased slightly from 5.9% in June to 7.2% in July. However, seasonally adjusted exports showed a slight month-on-month decline, indicating weakening momentum in export growth [1][4]. 2. **Exports to the United States** - Exports to the U.S. decreased by 3% month-on-month in July, with a year-on-year decline expanding from 16.1% in June to 21.6% in July. This reflects a continued low level of exports to the U.S., although slightly higher than in April and May [2][4]. 3. **Regional Export Performance** - Exports to ASEAN countries saw a month-on-month decline of 2.6%, but year-on-year growth remained robust at 16.6%. In contrast, exports to the EU grew by 9.2% year-on-year, while exports to Japan slowed to a 2% growth rate [2][4]. 4. **Import Growth** - July imports showed a year-on-year growth rate of 4.1%, up from 1.1% in June. The actual import volume growth rate also improved from 3% to 4.9%. Notably, the decline in the import of a basket of commodities narrowed from 9% to 4% [3][4]. 5. **Impact of Trade Policies** - Trade uncertainties remain high, with new tariffs announced by the U.S. affecting over 70 economies. The potential for further tariffs on semiconductors could significantly impact China's exports to the U.S., which currently account for over 20% of its export volume [4][4]. 6. **Future Export Projections** - The expectation is that China's year-on-year export decline to the U.S. will widen in the second half of the year, with projections indicating a 1% growth in exports for 2025, followed by a potential 3% decline in 2026 due to tariff impacts [4][4]. Additional Important Content - **Product-Specific Export Trends** - Key products such as electronics saw a slowdown in export growth, with mobile phone exports declining by 22% year-on-year. In contrast, integrated circuit exports continued to grow [2][17]. - **Macroeconomic Indicators** - The overall trade surplus and nominal import/export growth rates are illustrated in various charts, indicating fluctuating trends over the years [6][10]. - **Currency Fluctuations** - The Chinese yuan experienced a mild depreciation against the U.S. dollar in July, which may influence trade dynamics [20][22]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights from the conference call regarding the current state and future outlook of the Chinese economy, particularly in the context of international trade.

今年，铜价呈现出惊人的上涨趋势！根据国际铜资源组织的预测，全球对铜的需求将会在2030年之前继续大幅增长，预计到那时，铜的全球需求量将增加至 200万吨。这一变化背后，奥尤陶勒盖铜金矿的开采量也在逐步扩大，预计未来五年内，这个被蒙古国视为"经济腾飞秘密武器"的矿山将实现每年数十万吨 的铜矿开采量。目前，该矿的开采操作由澳大利亚的力拓集团负责。 回溯到2009年，蒙古国在将奥尤陶勒盖矿的大部分股权出售给力拓集团时，却提出了一个不同寻常的要求——禁止矿石直接出口至中国。考虑到中国在全球 铜需求中占据着重要地位，并且奥尤陶勒盖与中国边境仅有80公里的距离，蒙古国的这一举动引发了外界的广泛关注。中国作为蒙古最大的贸易伙伴，尤其 在铜的需求上，对两国的经济关系具有举足轻重的影响。那么，为什么蒙古国会作出这样看似矛盾的决定呢？ 力拓集团当年以31亿美元收购了奥尤陶勒盖66%的股份，并与当地国有企业一同合作开发这座矿山。力拓作为全球三大矿产巨头之一，其资质和实力完全能 够支撑起该矿区的开发与建设。然而，实际的开采过程并不如预期的顺利。首先，开发这样一个规模庞大的铜矿需要强大的电力支持，而蒙古国的电力资源 既有限又不稳定。如 ...

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. government has announced a 50% tariff on various imported copper products, effective August 1, which has led to significant market reactions, particularly a sharp decline in COMEX copper prices [1][3]. Market Reaction - COMEX copper prices plummeted over 18% on July 30, with the decline continuing, while LME copper showed minimal reaction, resulting in a significant narrowing of the price spread between COMEX and LME copper [1][4]. - The collapse of the abnormal premium structure for U.S. copper means that traders will lack incentives to transport copper from other regions to the U.S., leading to concerns about limited copper inflow into the U.S. market [4]. Implications for Supply and Demand - The U.S. copper import volume has nearly reached last year's total, and without price incentives, the inflow of copper from other regions may be restricted, potentially leading to a re-export scenario [4]. - LME copper inventories have accumulated nearly 50,000 tons since early July, with expectations of further increases in inventory levels due to the reduced impact of tariffs on refined copper [4]. Future Considerations - President Trump has not ruled out the possibility of imposing tariffs on refined copper in the future, with potential phased tariffs starting in 2027 [5]. - The U.S. administration's directive includes measures to support the domestic copper industry, such as requiring that 25% of high-quality scrap copper produced domestically must be sold within the U.S. [5].

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Recommended" investment rating for the copper industry [9]. Core Insights - The report highlights that the production growth of overseas large copper mining companies is low, and there are frequent disruptions. The lack of new large copper mining projects in the coming years will continue to constrain copper supply [9]. Summary by Sections 1. Copper Production in Major Producing Countries - Chile's copper production from January to April 2025 reached 1.752 million metric tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.57% (+60,300 tons). The growth is primarily driven by the Escondida project due to higher mining intensity and improved ore grades. Peru's copper production during the same period was 892,000 metric tons, up 5.59% (+47,200 tons), with significant contributions from the Las Bambas and Toromocho mines [4][18]. 2. Overseas Copper Mining Companies' Production - The total copper production of 15 major copper mining companies in Q1 2025 was 3.012 million tons, a slight increase of 0.1% (+3,000 tons). However, excluding three Chinese companies, the production of 12 overseas companies fell by 3.79% (-96,100 tons) to 2.436 million tons. Notably, Freeport and Glencore experienced significant declines of 20% and 29.95%, respectively [5][9]. 3. Growth in Chinese Copper Mining Companies - Three Chinese companies reported substantial production increases in Q1 2025: Minmetals Resources (+76.1%), Zijin Mining (+9.5%), and Luoyang Molybdenum (+15.7%). The growth for Minmetals was largely attributed to the Las Bambas mine in Peru, which produced 95,700 tons, a year-on-year increase of 70.9% (+39,700 tons) [7]. 4. Future Project Developments - The report notes a scarcity of new or expanded copper mining projects. The Salvador project by Codelco is currently ramping up production, while First Quantum's Kansanshi expansion is expected to contribute additional capacity starting in H2 2025. Other long-term projects include Rio Tinto's Oyu Tolgoi and Antofagasta's Centinela Phase II, with expected production increases in the coming years [8]. 5. Production Summary of Major Companies - Codelco's Q1 2025 production was 324,000 tons, a slight increase of 1.6% year-on-year. BHP's total production was 513,200 tons, up 10.18%, primarily due to the Escondida mine. Freeport's production fell to 393,720 tons, down 20% year-on-year, while Glencore's production dropped to 167,900 tons, a decrease of 29.95% [47][54][60][69].
