The CSPT Group convened its first quarter general manager's office meeting in Shanghai on March 28, 2024. After discussion, the meeting reached the following five consensuses:

1. Given the significant deviation of spot TC/RC for copper concentrates from the market fundamentals, in order to take effective measures to promote the return of spot TC/RC to a reasonable level, the meeting decided not to set a reference figure for spot TC/RC for the second quarter of 2024.

2. Establish a supplier blacklist mechanism, advocating that CSPT group companies do not cooperate with blacklisted enterprises.

3. Advocate for CSPT group companies to jointly reduce production by 5%-10% and promote implementation.

4. Expand the size of the CSPT group, intending to invite large-scale enterprises outside the group to join.

5. Prepare for a thematic meeting on inspection work, inviting professional inspectors from various enterprises to share inspection results and promote the fairness and impartiality of inspection work.

Delivery support and resistance to high prices coexisted, while Shanghai spot copper spot premiums remained generally stable [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] As delivery approached, the inter-month Contango price spread remained around 300 yuan/mt, and suppliers were still willing to ship to delivery warehouses, providing strong support for SHFE copper spot premiums. Demand side, downstream enterprises maintained just-in-time procurement, offering some support to prices, but during the day some downstream enterprises showed limited acceptance of spot copper with high premiums, and procurement turned more cautious; supply side, domestic copper and previously price-locked imported cargoes continued to arrive, while social inventory remained at a high level. According to SMM, social inventory in Shanghai this week was basically flat from the beginning of the week. Overall, under delivery-driven market logic, SHFE copper spot premiums were expected to remain in premium territory tomorrow.
