SMM July 21: today, the spot price of electrolytic copper in Shanghai is quoted for that month's contract: 60 to 130 yuan / ton, leveling copper transaction price 51830 yuan / ton ~ 51990 yuan / ton, water copper transaction price 51870 yuan / ton ~ 52050 yuan / ton. The low level of copper in Shanghai rebounded around the daily average, which was blocked at 51950 yuan / tonne, and the morning market holder quoted a high price. Shunyan quoted a price as high as 70 yuan per ton for copper in flat water yesterday, and the price of good copper rose to more than 120 yuan per ton. The quotation of Pingshui copper is stable, but there are few waves in the quotation. The performance of the good copper market is still very different, ENM remains at about 80 yuan / ton, CCC-P maintains the range of 120 yuan / ton, the supply is scarce, Jinchuan board is basically rarely seen due to overhaul, the Guixi market is reported high to around 140 yuan / ton, wet copper follows the market upward quotation and remains stable at 30 yuan / ton. The market maintains a firm quotation, as the difference between the price of good copper and that of Pingshui copper becomes more obvious because of the shortage of good copper. the holder is still very high before delivery, but there will be an impact as the supply of delivery is about to flow out.

Intraday, the SHFE copper 2603 contract fell below the 100,000-yuan mark for the second time after trading began. According to SMM, spot market activity today pulled back from March 9, when the contract first fell below 100,000 yuan, with overall trading sentiment remaining subdued on both buying and selling sides. On March 16, 2026, SMM's sentiment index for procurement in the Shanghai spot market was 2.53, while the sales sentiment index was 2.63, both down 0.29 from March 9. Historical data is available in the database. According to SMM, when copper prices fell below 100,000 yuan on March 9, some enterprises had restocking demand, which briefly boosted spot trade and brought it to a post-Chinese New Year trading high. But based on market feedback today, the contract rollover in futures may have had an impact. With copper prices again trading below the 100,000-yuan threshold, downstream enterprises showed signs of weaker acceptance.
