LONDON (Scrap Register): The main sea freight index at Baltic Exchange for ships carrying dry bulk commodities increased further on Monday lifted by strong panamax and supramax rates.

The Baltic Dry Index, which provides an assessment of the price of moving the major raw materials – such as coal, iron ore and grain – by sea by taking in 23 shipping routes measured on a time charter basis, advanced further by 2 points to 329 points on Monday.

The Baltic Dry Index climbed further as industry players once again voiced opinion that scrapping - rather than layups or slashing newbuild orders - is the dry bulk market's only hope for meaningful recovery.

The index is based on a daily survey of agents all over the world. Baltic Dry hit a temporary peak on May 20, 2008, when the index hit 11,793. The lowest level ever reached was on Wednesday, February 10 2016, when the index plummeted to 290 points.

East China inventory drawdown exceeded expectations, strengthening downside support for Shanghai spot copper spot premiums.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, SMM recorded a social inventory of 70,800 mt in the Shanghai region, down 12,300 mt compared to last Thursday; a social inventory of 16,300 mt in the Jiangsu region, down 4,100 mt compared to last Thursday. The combined inventory in the two regions in east China decreased by 16,400 mt, with the destocking magnitude exceeding market expectations. Supply side, affected by the persistently unfavorable SHFE/LME price ratio, port arrivals from outside China have decreased, and coupled with some shipment delays, the supplement of imported copper to the spot market has been relatively limited. Demand side, after last week's slight correction in copper prices, there was a release of dip-buying demand from downstream; at the same time, the backwardation price spread between futures contracts once widened, increasing suppliers' willingness to sell, and accelerating the flow of cargo in the market, collectively driving a significant decline in inventory. Although intraday buying sentiment rebounded, transactions for standard-quality copper only occurred after successive downward adjustments in offers, reflecting that downstream acceptance of higher premiums remains limited. On balance, against the backdrop of significant destocking in east China and low import arrivals providing support for premiums, while downstream still mainly adopts just-in-time procurement on dips and suppliers retain a willingness to sell, spot prices against the SHFE copper 2609 contract are expected to maintain a premium tomorrow, with the overall center likely to gradually stop falling and stabilize, and the room for further significant declines is relatively limited.

[SMM Tembaga spot Shanghai] Melihat ke depan untuk besok, SMM mencatat inventaris sosial di wilayah Shanghai sebesar 70.800 mt, turun 12.300 mt WoW dari Kamis lalu; inventaris sosial di wilayah Jiangsu sebesar 16.300 mt, turun 4.100 mt WoW dari Kamis lalu. Inventaris di kedua wilayah di Tiongkok timur total mengalami penurunan sebesar 17.400 mt, dengan pengurangan stok melebihi ekspektasi pasar. Dari sisi pasokan, karena rasio harga SHFE/LME yang terus tidak menguntungkan, kedatangan kargo dari luar China di pelabuhan menurun, dan ditambah dengan beberapa penundaan jadwal pengiriman, tembaga impor memberikan suplementasi yang relatif terbatas ke pasar spot. Dari sisi permintaan, setelah harga tembaga mengalami koreksi ringan minggu lalu, permintaan pembelian saat harga turun (dip-buying) dari hilir dilepaskan. Sementara itu, spread backwardation antara bulan berurutan sempat melebar, meningkatkan keinginan pemasok untuk menjual dan mempercepat perputaran kargo pasar, yang bersama-sama mendorong penurunan inventaris yang signifikan. Sentimen pembelian intraday pulih sampai batas tertentu, tetapi kuotasi untuk tembaga kualitas standar masih memerlukan penyesuaian ke bawah secara berturut-turut sebelum transaksi dapat terjadi, mencerminkan bahwa penerimaan pembeli hilir terhadap premi tinggi masih terbatas. Secara keseluruhan, dengan latar belakang pengurangan stok yang signifikan di inventaris Tiongkok timur dan rendahnya kedatangan impor yang mendukung premi, sementara pembeli hilir terutama melakukan pembelian saat harga rendah dan pengadaan tepat waktu (just-in-time) serta keinginan pemasok untuk menjual tetap ada, harga spot terhadap kontrak tembaga SHFE 2609 diperkirakan akan mempertahankan premi besok, dengan pusat secara keseluruhan kemungkinan akan berhenti turun secara bertahap dan stabil. Ruang untuk penurunan signifikan lebih lanjut relatif terbatas.
