After yesterday's rising water rose steadily, today's rising water pushed higher again, attracting traders to enter the market, the inquiry atmosphere was positive, and the holder maintained a strong desire to lift the water. the morning market holder quoted a rising water of 30,000,000 yuan / ton, and the copper supply in Pingshui accounted for relatively less. rising water 30 yuan / ton low price supply is fast, and it is difficult to lower the price, the standing price is raised to around 40 yuan 50 yuan / ton. Good copper quotation rises 50 yuan / ton, the same price as flat copper, but the transaction is still not as good as flat copper, downstream maintenance just need to buy, wet stalemate in the discount 60 ~ discount 40 yuan / ton quotation. Today, the market continues to rise, the supply of imported copper in the market has not seen a large influx, today's mainstream transactions are mostly concentrated in traders, strong willingness to push up prices, spot rising water holding firm to increase the boost of copper futures.

Today, the spot price of electrolytic copper in Guangdong Province has risen by 40 per cent to the current month's contract, with the average price unchanged, while the wet copper price has been quoted at a discount of 10 to 10 per cent, with the average price unchanged. The average price of electrolytic copper is 49595 yuan / ton, and the average price of wet copper is 49535 yuan / ton. Spot market: under the background that stocks continue to increase and copper prices hit new highs, today's consignors' strike price is weak. In early trading, Pingshui Copper once reported rising water 60 yuan / ton, but there were few receivers, and the consignors could only reduce the level of water delivery. By 11:00, good copper reported 70 yuan / ton, flat copper 40 yuan / ton, and wet copper 0ram 10 yuan / ton. Overall, copper prices continue to hit record highs, suppressing the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream manufacturers, which generally maintain the reluctance to increase inventory by purchasing on demand. In addition, the lower reaches prefer low-price non-standard and wet-process copper, which is also one of the reasons for the inactive trading of flat copper. Finally, it is understood that imports of copper will still arrive in the next few days, and stocks are easy to rise and difficult to fall, rising water or maintaining low shocks.
