Since September, global copper prices have entered a new phase of sharp increases, with LME copper prices surpassing USD 10,700 per ton and the main domestic copper futures contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange surging to a high of CNY 85,960 per ton.

In terms of concept stocks, from September 24 to the present, Jiangxi Copper Co., Ltd.'s cumulative gains in Hong Kong-listed shares have exceeded 50%, Zijin Mining has risen over 18%, and Southern Copper's share price on the US market has increased by nearly 8%.
