SHANGHAI, Sept. 15 (SMM) –SHFE 1111 copper contract prices, the most active one, opened down RMB 240/mt at RMB 65,340/mt on Thursday. In the morning business, as LME copper prices met resistance several times when trying to reach USD 8,700/mt, SHFE three-month copper contract prices suffered increasingly higher selling pressures and fell to a low of RMB 64,700/mt. However, SHFE three-month copper contract prices climbed to RMB 65,590/mt after the Shanghai Composite Index rallied to test 2,500 points.

Positions for SHFE 1111 copper contracts were up 302 lots and trading volumes were down 39,182 lots, while positions and trading volumes for SHFE 1112 copper contracts were up 9,366 lots and 40,518 lots, respectively. The shift of the most actively-traded copper contracts was expected to be completed on Friday. Growth in short investors’ strength was still obvious.
