According to the SMM survey, due to the continuous rise in COMEX contract prices, the price spread between COMEX and LME contracts has widened to a historical high. Many import traders indicated that most US market quotations this week have shifted to the LME coefficient quotation format. The specific timing for reverting to the original COMEX contract price minus will depend on the narrowing of the price spread.
