Shanghai Metal Network: Copper prices fall, downstream consumption remains acceptable
Today, Shanghai Metals Market (SHMET) quoted #1 electrolytic copper at 103,880–104,340 yuan/ton, with an average price of 104,110 yuan/ton. This is down 1,155 yuan/ton versus the previous trading day. For the 2606 contract, it is quoted at a spread of a discount of 50 to a premium of 30 yuan/ton.
U.S. May non-farm payroll data came in above expectations. Market expectations for further interest-rate hikes heated up, and a stronger U.S. dollar put pressure on metal prices. As of the morning close, the main Shanghai copper contract fell 1,590 yuan/ton, down 1.5%.
Today’s spot trading was still fairly good. After the copper price fell, consumption sentiment improved. Downstream buyers stepped up their interest in fixing prices, and spot holders’ willingness to hold their prices increased, causing spot discounts to narrow further.
As of the noon close, this website’s premium copper is quoted at a flat price to a premium of 30 yuan/ton; flat copper is quoted at a discount of 50 to a discount of 20 yuan/ton; wet-process copper is quoted at a discount of 120 to a discount of 100 yuan/ton; and non-registered copper is quoted at a discount of 270 to a discount of 240 yuan/ton.
