DRC Export Ban Sparks Nonferrous Metals Rally, Analysts See Limited Lasting Impact
The Democratic Republic of Congo's export ban has ignited a rally in China's nonferrous metals sector, with cobalt and copper stocks surging across the board. On August 7, Hanrui Cobalt jumped 8.53%, Tengyuan Cobalt rose 5.86%, and Huayou Cobalt gained 6.30%; Jiangxi Copper climbed 7.20%, and Tongling Nonferrous Metals advanced 5.94%. The move follows the DRC government's order to ban exports of copper and cobalt concentrates, aiming to promote domestic downstream processing. Institutions broadly view this as more of a sentiment shock than a fundamental one. Funeng Futures noted the ban is a reiteration and tightening of existing controls, while Fubao Nonferrous Metals' copper analysis team pointed out that most copper concentrates are already refined domestically, with limited actual export volumes. Listed companies including Zijin Mining, CMOC Group, Huayou Cobalt, and Hanrui Cobalt all responded that the ban has limited impact on their operations, as their products are mostly blister copper, cathode copper, or cobalt hydroxide, not concentrates. Meanwhile, copper market supply disruptions remain frequent. LME copper inventories fell 24.11% month-on-month in July, while COMEX copper stocks continued to hit record highs. Goldman Sachs expects the copper supply deficit outside the US to surge from 60,000 tonnes to 640,000 tonnes, and Citigroup forecasts London copper could challenge 15,000 dollars per tonne in the next six to twelve months.

Precious metals stocks slide intraday; analysts say gold price headwinds may ease marginally, recommend adding on dips
On August 3, the precious metals sector fell 3.03% intraday, with Chifeng Gold, Xiaocheng Technology, Western Gold, Shanjin International, and Zijin Mining broadly lower. A Changjiang Securities research note pointed out that in the first half of 2026, precious metals were weighed down by both the US-Iran conflict and hawkish rate-hike expectations, with gold prices experiencing three liquidity shocks and briefly dipping below $4,000 in late June. Currently, these two major headwinds are easing marginally: geopolitical impacts are moderating, and oil prices and inflation are retreating. Looking ahead to the second half, the People's Bank of China's de-dollarization gold purchases remain intact, and demand support will gradually return. Moreover, rate-hike expectations have reached an extreme, and high interest rates are eroding fiscal sustainability. Once the 10-year US Treasury yield enters the 4% to 5% high range, the relationship between interest rates and gold is likely to shift from negative to positive correlation, meaning rate hikes are not necessarily bearish for gold. Overall, the firm maintains a medium-term bullish view and recommends actively adding positions on pullbacks. A Shanghai Securities research note also noted that against the backdrop of de-dollarization, emerging market central banks may further increase gold reserves, providing long-term demand support for gold prices. In the second half, moderating geopolitical impacts and retreating inflation are expected to ease liquidity constraints, shifting the sector toward fundamentals-driven performance.

Shanghai Main Board Blue Chips Buck the Trend as Earnings Certainty and Stable Dividends Become a Safe Haven
Recently, blue chips on the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board have bucked the trend and strengthened. China Construction Bank hit an all-time high of 10.73 yuan during trading, while China Merchants Bank's market value returned to the 1 trillion yuan mark. The Shenwan banking sector has risen 11.7% since July, topping all primary industries. Oil and gas, insurance, coal mining, and other blue-chip-heavy sub-sectors posted gains of over 10% over the same period, with PetroChina and Zijin Mining surging more than 20% within the month. The rally in blue chips has shifted to a dual driver of high dividend stability and earnings certainty. Among the 728 Shanghai main board companies that issued earnings forecasts, 66 companies in coal, petroleum and petrochemicals, and nonferrous metals expect to achieve net profits of 161.6 billion to 172.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 60% to 71%. At the same time, high dividends have become a ballast for capital seeking shelter. Since July, at least 12 Shanghai main board company chairmen or major shareholders have proposed interim profit distributions. Looking at 2025 dividends, 29 main board companies paid annual dividends exceeding 10 billion yuan. Among the 188 companies with cumulative annual dividends above 1 billion yuan, nearly 65% have a dividend yield above 3%. Analysts point out that this market driven by fundamental certainty is an important force for market stability.

Additionally, Shanghai Airport's controlling shareholder has proposed raising the interim cash dividend payout ratio to around 55 percent, and Changchuan Technology is expected to carry out its first interim dividend since listing.
Precious metals concept strengthens, institutions see sector shifting to fundamentally driven upside
On July 22, the precious metals sector rose 3.34% intraday, with constituents such as Shanjin International, Chifeng Gold, and Zijin Mining all gaining over 5%. A research note from Changjiang Securities pointed out that as geopolitical influences ease and oil prices and inflation retreat, liquidity constraints will diminish, allowing the sector to shift from valuation contraction to a fundamentally driven upward channel, maintaining a medium-term bullish view. A Shanghai Securities research note stated that from 2020 to 2024, global gold mine production grew at a compound annual growth rate of 1.0%, while gold demand rose rapidly at a compound annual growth rate of 5.8%, reaching 148.1 million ounces in 2024, mainly driven by central bank reserve accumulation and investment demand. Against the backdrop of de-dollarization, emerging market central banks are expected to further increase gold reserves, and the precious metals industry cycle continues amid monetary policy fluctuations.
Ethiopia clears Zijin Mining's $4 billion acquisition of Allied Gold

With this approval secured, the parties are expected to close the deal before the extended deadline of July 29. The transaction, valued at approximately C$5.5 billion or C$44 per share in cash, was agreed in January but faced delays partly due to opposition from China's National Development and Reform Commission, which questioned the premium and risks tied to Allied's gold mine in Mali. Allied Gold's ADRs edged 1% higher following the report.
