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.
