Stocks shrank 43,500 mt from a week ago to stand at 410,000 mt as of Friday Sep 14

SHANGHAI, Sep 14 (SMM) – Copper stocks across Shanghai bonded areas shrank 43,500 mt from a week ago to stand at 410,000 mt as of Friday September 14, SMM data showed.

With the import arbitrage window open for a second straight week, imported copper continued to enter the domestic market. SMM learned that imported materials remained short in the Chinese market as weak copper prices bolstered consumption.
