As of September 21, the average weekly TC price of imported copper concentrate calculated by SMM is US $90.50 / tonne.

Mines and smelters will first approach and express their views on the coming year. The final price will be decided at the CESCO meeting in Shanghai. Therefore, the recent trading atmosphere is more calm, refineries buy in general, traders do not have too much inventory, the two sides show a slight stalemate, the mainstream transaction remains in the vicinity of TC $90 / ton.

Refineries will rely on the current spot high TC and the strictness of domestic environmental protection. With the approach of LME WEEK and CESCO meetings, long single negotiations will enter the final game.
