Today, due to the fact that LME is closed on bank holidays and the lack of price comparison guidelines in the foreign trade market, both buyers and sellers are less active. Most of the consignors do not make quotations and want to wait for the opening of the outer order tomorrow; the buyer's inquiry is cold, showing that he has stopped to wait and see, and there is no deal in the morning market. Last Friday afternoon, the market transaction price fell slightly. Traders increased shipping sentiment, lowered the price again, and the offer focused on the bill of lading at the end of June and early July, but the willingness of the market to accept the goods was very low, and the transaction of the mainstream fire bill of lading has fallen to around 92 US dollars / ton. There is almost no offer for the warehouse receipt.

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to next week, the market supply-demand structure may undergo marginal changes. On one hand, during the day, some traders will have replenishment needs due to prior overselling, and with the concentrated release of demand to replenish cargoes with invoices dated this month, available low-priced supplies will be quickly absorbed. Subsequently, the available spot copper in the market is expected to remain tight. On the other hand, from a market sentiment perspective, copper prices are currently at relatively low levels, and suppliers generally hold an optimistic outlook on future spot premiums, showing weak willingness to sell at low prices, which provides support to spot premiums. Overall, Shanghai spot copper prices against the SHFE copper 2607 contract are expected to remain at a discount next week, and the discount may narrow slightly.
