Next week, Shanghai spot copper premiums are expected to remain firm. As delivery approaches, the price spread between the C contracts widened, supporting premiums. Rising copper prices may weaken some downstream orders, but existing demand and immediate procurement remain stable. Tight spot supply in Jiangsu further pushed up premiums. Overall, the premium of spot cargo against the SHFE 2604 contract is expected to continue.
