SHANGHAI, Jul. 27 (SMM) –The most active contract moved in a narrow range of RMB 38,100-38,300/mt on Monday and dipped to RMB 37,940/mt due to China’s falling stocks, to close at RMB 37,980/mt, down by RMB 140/mt or 0.37%.

Spot copper was offered at premiums of RMB 330-410/mt over SHFE 1508 copper early Monday. Traded prices were RMB 39,160- 39,240/mt for standard-quality copper and RMB 39,220-39,300/mt for high-quality copper in Shanghai.

More imported hydro-copper and standard-quality copper flowed into market, driving spot supply up, while t trades were worse than last week. Traders started to lower spot premiums to stimulus trades. But high-quality copper held firm and the price gap widened between high-quality and standard-quality copper. Limited profits were left for traders and thus they remained cautious. Downstream buyers were resultant to buy after building stocks last week. Market thus saw light trades. Spot premiums fell to RMB 280-400/mt in the afternoon.

Jiaozuo Wanfang Terminates Major Asset Acquisition and Related-Party Transaction Due to Market Changes

On September 14, Jiaozuo Wanfang announced that the company's 10th Board of Directors had reviewed and approved the proposal to terminate the issuance of shares for asset acquisition and related-party transaction, and to withdraw the application documents. The transaction originally planned to acquire 99.4375% equity of Kaiman Aluminum (Sanmenxia) Co., Ltd. from 19 counterparties, constituting a major asset restructuring and related-party transaction. Given that the current market environment has changed significantly compared with the early planning stage, after prudent consideration, the company and the major counterparties unanimously decided to terminate the transaction. The company stated that terminating the transaction will not have a material adverse impact on its main business and financial condition, and promised not to plan any major asset restructuring matters for at least one month from the date of the announcement.
