In Shanghai, copper prices pulled back notably last Friday. Although downstream buyers actively priced orders, cargo pick-up was not fully realized. Combined with small arrivals of imported and domestic supply, inventory saw some buildup. In Jiangsu, consumption improved on the copper price correction, leading to slight destocking. In Guangdong, with delivery approaching and a wide price spread between futures contracts, suppliers were actively shipping to delivery warehouses. However, after copper prices pulled back on Friday, demand recovered, and inventory also saw slight destocking.
