Slightly Widening Price Spread Between Futures Contracts Bolstered Efforts to Hold Prices Firm, Spot Copper Discounts on SHFE Copper Moved Sideways [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, the Contango price spread between nearby contracts is expected to widen slightly, and suppliers' willingness to hold prices firm is expected to strengthen. During the day, downstream enterprises countered some standard-quality copper at a discount of 120 yuan/mt, but suppliers held prices firm and held back from selling, and the discount did not widen significantly. Demand side, affected by high copper prices, end-users' cargo pick-up pace slowed down, finished product inventories at some processing enterprises rose, and procurement volumes declined. Overall, given weak demand, Shanghai spot copper premiums against the 06 contract are expected to remain at a discount tomorrow.
