Recently, the import price comparison is difficult to open the opportunity and the absolute price of copper is high, the buying power is weak. Some sellers are more willing to ship goods and want to lower the price in order to close the deal, which brings some pressure to the premium downward. Today, the price of some second-brand bills of lading in the market has been lowered to less than 100 US dollars / ton, but there is still a stalemate in the transaction, and the buyer still lowers the price, and the price is slightly reduced by 1 US dollar. No offer has been heard from the warehouse receipt in the morning, and the price remains unchanged for the time being.

At present, the transaction price of fire good copper warehouse receipt is around 105 US dollars / ton, mainstream fire method 100 US dollars / ton, wet method 93 yuan / ton; good copper bill of lading is 94 US dollars / ton, mainstream fire method 90 US dollars / ton, wet method 82 US dollars / ton.
