Copper Prices Rise as Consumption Weakens, Widening Price Spread Between Futures Contracts Supports Spot Discounts [SMM Shanghai Spot Copper]

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to tomorrow, the center of copper prices is expected to shift upward, and downstream enterprise consumption is expected to weaken. However, as the Contango price spread between futures contracts widens on a month-over-month basis, suppliers' willingness to ship to delivery warehouses is expected to increase, while they hold prices firm and hold back from selling, potentially tightening available low-priced cargo and providing some support for spot discounts. Influenced by rising copper prices, the price difference between copper cathode and copper scrap is expected to widen, driving spot discounts on non-registered spot copper to expand further. Overall, under the influence of high copper prices and widening price spreads between futures contracts, Shanghai spot copper prices against the SHFE copper 2606 contract are expected to remain at discount levels tomorrow.
