Great Wall Motor publicly reported that two BYD models used atmospheric fuel tanks, and that the emissions of evaporative pollutants from the entire vehicle did not meet the standards.

BYD responded that the tested vehicles sent by Great Wall Motor to China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC) in Tianjin did not meet the inspection status under the national standard, and its inspection report was considered invalid. Some media called departments of the CATARC for further information.

An employee of the General Management Department said: "This issue will be answered by the group.”

Later, it was learned from the relevant staff of CATARC that the institution is investigating and dealing with the issue.

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, next Monday marks the last trading day for the SHFE copper 2606 contract. According to SMM's #1 copper cathode price assessment methodology, SMM always quotes against the front-month contract. During the day, the center of copper prices moved up, and downstream procurement sentiment pulled back slightly, indicating that high prices somewhat curbed demand. Approaching delivery, suppliers showed a relatively strong willingness to deliver their open interest, keeping available cargo tight. In addition, spot inventory in the Guangdong region remained at a low level, with offers at a premium of around 200 yuan/mt, which may lend some support to premiums in the Shanghai region. Overall, premiums for Shanghai spot copper against the SHFE 2606 copper contract next Monday are expected to remain at a premium level.
