Spot copper shortage, open import arbitrage window trigger influx of seaborne materials

SHANGHAI, Jun 6 (SMM) – Copper stocks across Shanghai bonded areas extended their declines in the week to Thursday June 6 as a shortage of spot copper and an open import arbitrage window triggered an influx of seaborne materials to the domestic market.

SMM data showed that the bonded inventories shrank 30,000 mt from a week ago to stand at 498,000 mt as of Thursday June 6, after a decline of 42,000 mt last week.

The weaker appeal of copper scrap drove downstream consumers to refined copper. This, together with maintenance across domestic copper smelters in May, tightened supplies of copper cathode.

SMM: Copper Prices to Fall 5,000 yuan/mt in 2022 from Current Level amid Muted Traditional Consumption

Global economy is recovering, and the US liquidity contraction is expected to strengthen. When the US dollar, measured by the constant value, appreciates, the absolute price of copper fell (relative concept); the depreciation of the non-US currency suppressed purchase demand and also suppressed demand. The appreciation of the US dollar improves the production enthusiasm of non-US copper-producing regions. As copper is priced in US dollar, the appreciation of the US dollar will lower the production costs. Most of the copper-producing areas are in South America and Southeast Asia.
