Today, the overall performance of Shanghai copper is a long reduction in positions, reflecting that the sentiment of easing Sino-US trade relations at the G20 summit has been gradually digested by the market, superimposed by the fact that the recent European economic data are not as expected, the global economic situation is still weaker, and there is a lack of macro support for copper prices; on fundamentals, as copper consumption enters the off-season, supply-side inventories increase, and fundamentals are still bearish on copper prices. Today, Shanghai copper closed the physical big Yin column, below fell below the Brin middle rail, the KDJ index opened under the expansion, MACD red column continues to shorten. In the evening, wait for the guidance of the outside market to test whether Shanghai Copper can stand at the 46600 yuan / ton gate.

Copper Prices Fell as Supply and Demand Both Strengthened; SHFE Copper Spot Discounts Stabilized at Current Levels [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]
[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Copper prices opened lower with a gap in the night session yesterday, and some enterprises placed orders to restock at low levels. Intraday procurement demand increased somewhat, but considering that replenishment had already been concentrated the previous day, actual additional purchasing was limited. According to data released by SHFE on March 19, SHFE copper warrants decreased by 12,200 mt during the day, confirming that after copper prices pulled back, downstream buying-the-dip enthusiasm picked up, and the center of spot premiums moved higher accordingly. From the market structure perspective, the import profit window widened slightly, and expectations for subsequent inflows of cargo from outside China increased, which may put some pressure on the supply side. Overall, amid the tug-of-war between faster destocking and supplier selling, Shanghai spot copper premiums are expected to remain at the current level tomorrow.
