Copper Prices Center Moves Up, Shanghai Spot Copper Premiums Continue to Fall Under Pressure [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai spot copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, as delivery approaches, the inter-month backwardation has further widened to above 300-400 yuan/mt. The cost of contract rollover rises accordingly for suppliers, and their willingness to sell spot copper increases, significantly capping premiums against the front-month contract. Today, sentiment in sales and procurement improved somewhat from yesterday, but as the SHFE copper price center rose above 108,000 yuan/mt, downstream users still mainly made just-in-time procurement, showing limited acceptance of high-priced offers. Meanwhile, some standard-quality copper has fallen to a discount of 10 yuan/mt to near parity, discounts for non-registered copper have widened further, and low-priced sources continue to weigh on mainstream standard-quality copper quotes. Overall, driven by the widening backwardation spread, increased willingness to sell among suppliers near delivery, and high copper prices suppressing consumption, the price center of Shanghai spot copper quotes against the 2608 contract is expected to continue to shift lower tomorrow, possibly showing a discount.
