Copper Prices Center Moves Up, Shanghai Spot Copper Premiums Continue to Fall Under Pressure [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai spot copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, as delivery approaches, the inter-month backwardation has further widened to above 300-400 yuan/mt. The cost of contract rollover rises accordingly for suppliers, and their willingness to sell spot copper increases, significantly capping premiums against the front-month contract. Today, sentiment in sales and procurement improved somewhat from yesterday, but as the SHFE copper price center rose above 108,000 yuan/mt, downstream users still mainly made just-in-time procurement, showing limited acceptance of high-priced offers.
