SMM data showed that the stocks fell 4,400 mt from the prior week to 347,000 mt as of Friday December 18.

Some ships were difficult to dock recently due to strengthening quarantine on inbound ships by the customs, and the efficiency of port was low, leading to a further decline in inventories.

Delivery Logic Underpins, Shanghai Spot Copper Premiums Narrow Slightly [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] From a supply-demand perspective, consumption showed improvement compared to earlier. According to SMM, some suppliers reported an increase in downstream enterprise orders. Approaching delivery, the spread between the nearby SHFE copper contracts narrowed slightly. Buoyed by delivery-related support, suppliers’ willingness to hold prices firm rose somewhat, and Shanghai spot copper premiums edged up. In addition, import losses continued to widen, weakening the impetus for overseas cargo inflows, and supply-side increments were limited.
