Copper Market Summary

Market View

Following the US debt ceiling agreement framework, risk aversion decreased, and overnight copper prices rose due to reduced避险情绪. However, upward momentum is limited by risks including sustained high interest rates, which reinforce recession expectations and are exacerbated by the European Central Bank's continued rate hikes.

Fundamental Analysis

Supply-side dynamics show mine供给 exceeding smelting capacity, with expected slight reductions in smelting output and the opening of import windows. Downstream activities have increased buying and inventory reduction, but weak end-demand leaves limited incentive for persistent inventory drawdown. Inventory levels improved with reductions in Chinese bonded区库存 and general stocks (favouring prices), while an increase in LME copper inventory adds downward pressure.

Trade Recommendation

Maintain short positions based on current market sentiment. Key levels include: support at 63800元/吨, first resistance at 66000元/吨, and Shanghai copper interval at 7800-8200美元/吨.

Key Factors

Bullish: 上海铜升贴水 at +215, +50, and reductions in Chinese copper inventories.
Bearish: LME copper inventory increased by 775 tons, and copper concentrate TC/RC rose to $89/ton.

Risks

Ongoing uncertainty in US debt negotiations and the potential for deeper global economic衰退.
