Today, spot copper cathode in North China was quoted at a discount of 350-290 yuan/mt against the front-month contract, with an average discount of 320 yuan/mt, up 10 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Transaction prices ranged from 76,760-77,040 yuan/mt, with an average price of 76,900 yuan/mt, down 210 yuan/mt from the previous trading day.
