As the SHFE copper delivery date approaches, domestic trade premiums continued to pull back today. After concentrated deals last week, the market moved to a wait-and-see stance, and activity was sluggish this week. It was heard that registered copper B/Ls for arrival in mid-to-late December were quoted at $220/mt today, and a small volume of EQ copper for arrival in early December was quoted at $125/mt.
