SHANGHAI, Aug. 3 (SMM) –SHFE 1110 copper contract prices, the most active one, opened down RMB 330/mt at RMB 71,900/mt on Wednesday, with weak rising momentum during the whole trading day. SHFE three-month copper contract prices gained support after dropping briefly to RMB 71,850/mt after opening, tracking LME copper prices to move stably higher.

LME copper prices also met pressures at this price mark, causing stock markets to fall from initially increasing, and leading SHFE three-month copper contract prices to lose RMB 72,000/mt again. Finally, SHFE 1110 copper contract prices closed at RMB 72,060/mt, down RMB 170/mt, or a loss of 0.24%.
