General Administration of Customs of China's copper foil import value in March

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, copper prices edged up during the day, market trading cooled notably, downstream enterprises mainly made just-in-time procurement, and demand was unlikely to see significant increases. The inter-month Contango price spread between futures contracts widened slightly, and suppliers showed some willingness to hold prices firm. In addition, according to SMM, available spot copper in Jiangsu was relatively tight, with some downstream enterprises reporting difficulty in finding low-priced supplies. Overall, amid high copper prices suppressing demand and the slightly widening Contango price spread between futures contracts, Shanghai spot copper is expected to maintain a discount against the 2606 contract tomorrow, potentially widening slightly.
