The regular spring meeting of the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures of the World Trade Organization was held in Geneva on May 2.

Chinese representatives criticised the US's discriminatory subsidy policies and measures at the meeting and called on the WTO to strengthen supervision of US practices that violate WTO rules.

The Chinese representative pointed out in his speech that the Inflation Reduction Act promulgated by the United States used the name of "green" to implement protectionism in reality. In the specific implementation rules, the United States arbitrarily interprets the "free trade agreement" and seriously undermines global trade rules.

Suppliers Hold Prices Firm and Hold Back Selling as Delivery Approaches, Shanghai Spot Copper Premiums Remain Strong [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai spot copper] Nearing delivery, the inter-month contango spread remains in the 70-10 yuan/mt range. Suppliers are optimistic about near-term premiums, with strong sentiment to hold prices firm and hold back from selling. After standard-quality copper cargoes at a discount of 20 yuan/mt were quickly traded in early business, low-priced cargoes became hard to find in the market. From the demand side, downstream buyers’ acceptance of current premium offers is limited, with overall demand largely need-based and limited willingness to chase higher prices. The discount for non-registered copper remains at 200-180 yuan/mt, indicating that overall consumption support is not strong. On balance, amid the tug-of-war between delivery-logic-backed firm offers and limited downstream acceptance, Shanghai spot copper quotes against the SHFE copper 2606 contract are expected to maintain the current pattern tomorrow, with the center of premiums possibly shifting slightly higher.
