Spot market: Today, Guangdong's inventory fell again, with increased downstream replenishment being the main reason. The decline in inventory and the lower copper price increased the enthusiasm of downstream to replenish stocks compared with before. In addition, the unwillingness of holders to ship goods before transactions caused the premium to go up today. As of 11:00, the high-quality copper contract for front month was quoted at a discount of 80 yuan/ton, the flat copper contract was quoted at a discount of 150 yuan/ton, and the hydro copper contract was quoted at a discount of 210 yuan/ton.
In general, copper prices fell and downstream replenishment increased, spot premiums rose, and overall trading was better than yesterday.
