People's Daily published an exclusive interview with He Tingbo, a board member of Huawei and president of the semiconductor business unit. He Tingbo stated that in the face of various difficulties, we did not retreat but fought with all our might. What we take pride in is our steadfast conviction and persistent effort. As long as the direction is right, it doesn't matter if we go a little slower — keep moving forward, and eventually we will find bridges and paths. The result is that by persisting in and practicing fundamental theoretical research, we not only cleared a path but built a highway. We are a company driven primarily by engineers, and the job of engineers is to solve all kinds of problems. The restrictions imposed by the external environment set very harsh constraints for us, but they also gave us a purer motivation to work. Most of the time, the team worked with determination, quietly, and calmly, because only in a calm, focused, and undisturbed state, through sincere, open, and in-depth discussion of problems, can we find the path to solutions.

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, copper prices edged down during the day, activating some downstream buying interest. According to SMM, orders at some processing enterprises in east China improved compared to yesterday, with end-users mostly placing orders at around 103,600 yuan/mt. Available supplies in Changzhou became relatively tight, which may provide some support for local spot prices. In terms of market structure, the inter-month Contango price spread between futures contracts narrowed slightly, weakening suppliers' willingness to ship to delivery warehouses. The marginal increase in spot circulation pressure pushed discounts to widen further. Overall, amid the interplay of narrowing price spreads between futures contracts pressuring discounts, limited marginal improvement in demand, and tight regional supplies, spot prices against the SHFE copper 2606 contract are expected to remain at a discount tomorrow, continuing to stay under pressure.
