Dear SMM Users,
As we approach the time to bid adieu to the old year and celebrate the Spring Festival, we adhere to the national statutory holidays and our policy of not issuing quotes on weekends. Additionally, considering the virtual absence of spot transactions during the Chinese New Year holidays, SMM will suspend updates to spot metal prices and news from February 9th to February 18th, 2024.

SHFE Copper Trading Nearly Halted Before the Holiday, Faces Import Pressure After the Holiday, Spot Discounts Remain Under Pressure [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SHFE Copper Spot] Looking ahead to the post-holiday period, as the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, market participation continues to decline, with most suppliers and downstream enterprises gradually entering a holiday state, leading to a sluggish overall trading atmosphere during the day. On the supply side, the price-locked imports that were secured when the import window was open are continuously arriving, resulting in a significant inventory buildup in the Shanghai area. On the demand side, due to the approaching holiday, most downstream enterprises have already taken leave, causing procurement demand to weaken continuously. Additionally, February 24 is the last trading day for the SHFE copper 2602 contract, and many suppliers choose to hold their positions through the holiday, awaiting delivery. Some suppliers have already started tentatively quoting around parity for the SHFE copper 2603 contract, and it is expected that on the first trading day after the holiday, spot copper premiums over the SHFE 2603 contract will be quoted high but trade lower. It is worth noting that although some warrant cargoes will be locked up for delivery, the imported cargoes arriving before and during the holiday may impact spot transactions. On the first trading day after the holiday, since SMM always quotes the front-month contract, it is expected to show a high premium over the front month based on the price spread conversion, but this is expected to be corrected by the second trading day. Overall, spot premiums and discounts remain under pressure.
