Yangshan copper premiums with a quotation period in June stood at $30-45/mt under warrants during May 22-26, with the average up $2.5/mt from a week earlier. Those stood between $47-62/mt under bill of lading with a quotation period in June, with the average up $2/mt. As of May 26, the SHFE/LME copper price ratio stood at 9.02, and import profit stood at 548/mt.

Yangshan copper premiums with a quotation period in June stood at $30-45/mt under warrants during May 22-26, with the average up $2.5/mt from a week earlier. Those stood between $47-62/mt under bill of lading with a quotation period in June, with the average up $2/mt. As of May 26, the SHFE/LME copper price ratio stood at 9.02, and import profit stood at 548/mt.

Yangshan copper premiums under bill of lading rose further. Specifically, the theoretical profit of spot imported copper in Shanghai was basically stable above 400 yuan/mt, which stimulated the rise in both volume and price of Yangshan copper warrants, but the rise in premiums was significantly slower than that of trading volume. Due to the weak financing attributes of warrants and the high cost of carrying them, and buyers’ expectation that domestic premiums will hardly rise sharply in the market outlook, the rise in premiums was mild. There will be massive port arrivals at the end of May, mostly Russian copper, which is expected to be directly digested by the downstream buyers. This may slightly weigh on Yangshan copper premiums.

[Flash | L'indice de production minière du Chili chute de 7,2 % en glissement annuel en juillet ; l'extraction métallique recule de 10,7 %]
Le 31 août, l'Institut national de la statistique (INE) du Chili a rapporté que l'indice de la production industrielle du pays a chuté de 5,1 % en glissement annuel en juillet. Dans ce cadre, l'indice de la production minière (IPMin) a reculé de 7,2 %, l'extraction minière métallique affichant une baisse de 10,7 %, retranchant 9,301 points de pourcentage à l'indice, principalement en raison d'une diminution de l'extraction et du traitement du cuivre. Les données de l'USGS montrent que le Chili représentait environ 16 % de la production mondiale de molybdène en 2025. Les récentes pertes de production des mines de cuivre-molybdène du Chili se sont concentrées au stade de l'enrichissement, ce qui frappe plus durement le molybdène, sous-produit, que le cuivre ; l'offre mondiale de molybdène devrait donc en ressentir l'impact en 2026.

[SMM Analysis] High Premiums on Spot Copper Cathode Provide Room for Maneuver, Why Can Some Copper Scrap Traders Raise Purchase Prices?
[SMM Analysis: High Spot Premiums for Copper Cathode Create Room for Maneuver, Why Are Some Copper Scrap Traders Able to Raise Purchase Prices?] Recently, spot supply of copper cathode in China has been tight, with spot premiums staying high, which has driven local copper scrap selling prices higher in tandem. For traders who already hold spot inventory, they can first sell their inventory at the higher local spot prices, then replenish it by purchasing copper scrap arriving later from outside China. The key point is that when traders sell bare bright copper locally, their prices mainly reference China's spot copper cathode prices, spot premiums, and the price difference between copper cathode and copper scrap; whereas copper scrap purchases from outside China are typically settled based on the LME 3M price multiplied by a payable indicator. When LME copper is in a backwardation structure, the 3M price is lower than the nearby Cash price, so traders are selling higher-priced local spot material while replenishing with forward-arrival cargoes priced off the relatively lower 3M futures. Traders can lock in procurement costs through pricing or hedging, completing the operation of "selling spot at high prices and replenishing inventory at the 3M price.
