SHFE copper returned to gains following losses on Friday. Cargo holders held prices flat with Thursday early in the morning which, however, was not accepted by buyers. Sellers cut standard-quality copper prices to push trading and thus standard-quality copper inverted to discounts quickly. High-quality copper quoted between discounts of RMB 40/mt and premiums of RMB 30/mt. Trading subdued before weekend. Downstream buyers waited for delivered goods to flow into market.
