Shanghai copper pressure fell to 47000 yuan / ton below. The willingness of the holder to exchange cash is gradually strengthened, but some of the quotations are firm and there is demand for the current monthly ticket, which makes the early market quotation rise by 50 yuan / ton to 80 yuan / ton, but there is little demand. Under the guidance of the rapid reduction in the price of next month's ticket, the overall quotation in the market is declining rapidly. The monthly ticket is adjusted to the vicinity of 50 yuan / ton, and the flat copper ticket is reduced to 30 yuan / ton to 50 yuan / ton. only then can the transaction improve. The supply of wet copper was reduced from 30 yuan / ton to flat water. The price difference between the current monthly bill and next month's bill is 20% 30 yuan / ton. Today, the number of exchangers has increased significantly, but the downstream demand remains rigid, and most of the transactions are completed by long single delivery. The risk aversion sentiment before the national tax upgrade has also increased the number of exchangers. Under the pattern of supply exceeding demand, the conversion factor makes the rising water and falling become the leading behavior of the market.

Copper Inventory Drops, Prices Fall, Stimulating Downstream Demand
According to data released by the SHFE on March 19, copper warrants saw significant declines across major regions, with total inventory dropping by 12,244 tons from the previous trading day, marking a substantial drawdown. Copper prices continued their downward trend during the day, with the trading range dipping to 94,000-95,800 yuan per ton. The price drop stimulated downstream companies' enthusiasm for buying on dips, pushing the spot premium/discount center upward. Taking advantage of the rebounding premiums, holders actively shipped their warrants, leading to a large outflow of inventory that was subsequently absorbed by downstream consumers. This indicates that current price levels have become increasingly attractive to end-users.
