In this 2-week webinar special, we will have a deep-dive on the China domestic metals market following the National People’s Congress (NPC) annual meetings.

Metals prices have been supported by global supply disruptions, especially to copper and zinc mines. As these supply disruptions ease, will demand absorb the recovery in supply, or will the additional supply lead to price downside?

Arbitrages, premiums and trade flows have seen significant changes in recent weeks. What will be the impact of these changes and will they be long lasting?

What are the lasting impacts of the virus epidemic? How will it change global supply and trade flows in future? Will there be a lasting hit to metals demand during a prolonged recession, or a positive boost from prolonged stimulus?

Copper Prices Pulled Back, Shifting the Trading Range Lower and Stimulating Downstream Restocking Enthusiasm

During the day, the SHFE copper 2604 contract declined somewhat, with its trading range shifting lower to around 98,100-98,500 yuan/mt. According to SMM communications, after the center of copper prices moved lower, market buying interest recovered markedly. Downstream processing enterprises reported that order volumes from end-users had risen recently, and they were actively replenishing raw material inventory amid the pullback in copper prices. At the same time, upstream smelters also reported strong buying sentiment in the spot market, with relatively active downstream procurement and smooth overall transactions. This round of pullback in copper prices stimulated previously suppressed restocking demand, and downstream enterprises showed strong willingness to buy the dip.
