[SMM Tin News Flash: He Tingbo: The external environment restrictions have set very harsh constraints for us, but they have also given us a purer motivation to work]

People's Daily published an exclusive interview with He Tingbo, a board member of Huawei and president of the semiconductor business unit. He Tingbo stated that in the face of various difficulties, we did not retreat but fought with all our might. What we take pride in is our steadfast conviction and persistent effort. As long as the direction is right, it doesn't matter if we go a little slower — keep moving forward, and eventually we will find bridges and paths. The result is that by persisting in and practicing fundamental theoretical research, we not only cleared a path but built a highway. We are a company driven primarily by engineers, and the job of engineers is to solve all kinds of problems. The restrictions imposed by the external environment set very harsh constraints for us, but they also gave us a purer motivation to work. Most of the time, the team worked with determination, quietly, and calmly, because only in a calm, focused, and undisturbed state, through sincere, open, and in-depth discussion of problems, can we find the path to solutions.

Downstream wait-and-see sentiment is strong, SHFE copper premium under pressure at high levels [SMM Shanghai spot copper]
[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, as some imported cargoes gradually arrive at ports, the available supply in the Shanghai market will be somewhat replenished compared with the earlier period, exerting certain pressure on spot premiums. On the demand side, although SHFE copper prices pulled back during last night's night session, according to SMM, actual procurement volumes from end-users remain relatively limited, with downstream players overall maintaining a strong wait-and-see sentiment. Purchases are still mainly need-based, and acceptance of the current high-premium cargoes is not high. Meanwhile, as market pricing gradually shifts to the 2610 contract, spot premiums against the October contract remain at a relatively high level. Although some suppliers are willing to lower their quotes, their willingness to sell at low prices is also limited. Overall, under the combined effect of increased imported arrivals and weak end-use demand, the center of spot copper quotes against the SHFE copper 2610 contract is expected to edge lower tomorrow. However, considering that available circulating cargoes have not yet become notably ample and suppliers still intend to hold prices firm, spot premiums are expected to remain at a relatively high level.
