An improved SHFE/LME copper price ratio, driven by domestic electricity curtailment, shortage of copper scrap and limited inflow of imported cargoes, has incentivised customs clearances. Yangshan copper premiums surged amid tight supply, with the average premium under warrants surging over $50/mt in three trading days.
Continued imports under warrants are likely to drive further declines in bonded zone inventories.
