SHANGHAI, Jun 10 (SMM) - Copper inventories in domestic bonded zones decreased by 7,400 mt from last Thursday June 2 to 287,400 mt as of June 10, according to SMM survey. The inventory in Shanghai bonded zone decreased by 7,500 mt to 257,800 mt, while that in Guangdong added 100 mt to 29,600 mt. The price ratio was favourable for imports this week, and some warrants were declared and imported into China, resulting in a further decline in the bonded zone inventory. In addition, the efficiency of pick-up at bonded warehouses continued to improve. The market should pay attention to the flowing of cancelled warrants of LME Asia warehouses into China, which may end the decline in bonded zone inventory.

Shanghai Spot Copper Price Spread Narrowed as Consumption-Driven Characteristics Emerged [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, the Shanghai spot copper market is expected to remain under pressure. After copper prices jumped, downstream procurement sentiment pulled back, indicating limited acceptance of current price levels. From the market structure perspective, suppliers showed strong willingness to sell, with some brands continuing to offload cargo, putting pressure on discounts. Downstream buyers mostly maintained a wait-and-see stance, with procurement mainly driven by rigid demand and buying on dips. It is worth noting that the price spread between high-quality copper and standard-quality copper narrowed somewhat from the previous period, indicating that the market trading structure has become more rational, with actual consumption demand becoming the dominant force at the current stage. Overall, amid the tug-of-war between suppliers actively selling and downstream buyers purchasing cautiously, spot prices against the 2604 contract are expected to maintain the current discount level tomorrow.
