50,000-ton warehouse receipt canceled in a single day! JPMorgan: This marks copper prices entering a 'more volatile, increasingly bullish intermediate phase.'

JPMorgan noted that the massive cancellation of LME copper stocks signifies the copper market entering a volatile 'mid-game phase.' The core logic is that the U.S. siphoning effect is forcing non-U.S. buyers to scramble for spot purchases, causing LME inventories to fall below the 100,000-ton threshold and triggering asymmetric bullish conditions. In its forecast of a 'bullish endgame,' JPMorgan predicts that LME prices must surge to a level sufficient to reverse the U.S. copper arbitrage window, compelling resources to flow back from the U.S., in order to bring an end to this bull market driven by inventory mismatches.

HSBC Research, in its coverage of the China materials sector, has expressed the strongest preference for aluminum and recommends buying Hongqiao (01378.HK) and Chalco (02600.HK).

HSBC Research released its monthly commodities report, noting that strong demand and tight supply have kept base metal prices robust. Given the strained market supply-demand balance, there may be further upside risks to prices. Among China's materials sector, the bank is most optimistic about aluminum; it also favors gold in the current macroeconomic context and holds a positive long-term outlook for construction materials. HSBC Research pointed out that looking ahead to next year, the fundamentals of the aluminum industry are trending toward strength. Combined with China’s production capacity cap limiting domestic supply growth and modest increases in overseas supply, annual growth is projected at 0.5% and 3%, respectively. Accordingly, the bank has raised its aluminum price forecasts for 2026 and 2027.
