Shanghai copper pressure 52000 yuan / ton shock finishing. The morning market holder continued yesterday's quotation of Pingshui copper 40 yuan 50 yuan / ton good copper water 90 won 100 yuan / ton, but the deal was difficult. Today Friday, the monthly long order is coming to an end, and the holder has a strong willingness to cash, so he has no choice but to take the initiative to lower the quotation. Good copper is lowered to 70 yuan 80 yuan / ton, and the flat copper quotation is mostly 30 yuan / ton, but the buyer's intention is even lower. After a long confrontation between supply and demand, Pingshui copper raised 20 yuan / ton so that the transaction has been slightly improved, and the quotation of wet-process copper has been slightly lowered, from 50-40 yuan / ton to 70 yuan / ton, and some of the low-end difference of wet-process copper can be as low as 100 yuan. The willingness to receive goods downstream is low, and the actual consumption is weak.
