SMM, July 6th

On Friday night, Lun Copper closed at 6015 US dollars / ton, down 1.29%. The trading volume was 12000 lots, and the short position increased by 892 to 298000 lots. The Shanghai Copper 2007 contract closed at 48850 yuan / ton, down 0.59%, and the trading volume was 57000 lots, and the long positions were reduced by 1987 to 120000 lots. There was a correction in copper prices on Friday. Lun Copper recovered its gains in the previous two days and broke the 5-day moving average, while Shanghai Copper closed down more than 400 yuan, mainly due to a large technical setback in the previous period, as well as a more obvious increase in domestic inventories on Friday. On the macro front, the manufacturing PMI index of China and the United States continued to improve in June compared with the previous month, and the added value of non-farm payrolls in the United States reached an all-time high in June, strengthening the expectation of sustained economic improvement; the central bank cut re-lending and rediscount interest rates since July 1, allowing local debt to replenish the capital of small and medium-sized banks, monetary policy sent a signal to amplify credit, and the favorable tone on copper prices remained unchanged. From a fundamental point of view, the increase in domestic inventory this week is mainly due to the influx of imported copper, although the actual consumption has entered the off-season, but the domestic production of electrolytic copper is restricted by raw materials, and the epidemic situation in South America continues to ferment, Codelco announced that the pandemic led to the suspension of the Teniente expansion project, the upstream supply port risk still exists, and there is also support for copper prices. On the spot side, the market inquiry atmosphere warmed up after the market fell, and traders' confidence in raising prices improved, and it is expected that the rising water level will be maintained today. It is estimated that today Lun copper 6000 won 6060 US dollars / ton, Shanghai copper 48800 won 49,100 yuan / ton. It is estimated that the spot water is 10 yuan / ton today-30 yuan / ton.

Import Parity Inversion and Spot Premiums Weaken; Watch China’s Export Situation Going Forward
[SMM Imported Copper Market] Recently, China’s import parity inversion has been notable, and the backwardation structure of near-term LME contracts has widened. Sellers in the imported copper market have become more active in offering, and coupled with mediocre downstream consumption demand, spot premiums have shown a trend of retreating from highs. However, as the siphon effect from North America persists, imported copper supply replenishment is expected to remain limited in China, keeping spot premiums supported on the downside. In addition, some smelters have export expectations, so China’s subsequent export situation needs to be closely monitored.

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, today the SHFE copper price center rose further above 107,000 yuan/mt. High copper prices significantly dampened downstream purchases, and the market was still dominated by rigid demand buying. However, suppliers’ willingness to sell strengthened, and they continuously lowered their offers throughout the day to facilitate deals. As standard-quality copper prices pulled back, downstream purchase willingness improved, and some low-priced cargoes were traded gradually. Meanwhile, available cargoes of high-quality copper and registered SX-EW copper remained scarce, with relatively firm offers providing some support to spot premiums. Overall, against the backdrop of high copper prices suppressing demand and active price cuts by suppliers to sell, Shanghai spot copper prices against the SHFE 2608 contract are expected to remain at a premium tomorrow. The overall center may continue to be in the doldrums, but improved transactions at low prices may limit the extent of further pullbacks in premiums.
