    March this year.

    Market: In terms of market, the domestic spot copper market showed a tepid state
    this week.
    As it was the last trading day of the main Shanghai copper contract on Monday, the market activity was not good, and the rise in copper prices also limited the willingness
    of downstream to enter the market.
    Although copper prices remained strong in the following days, market activity heated up, as traders became more willing to enter the market, and downstream merchants mainly purchased on demand
    .
    However, on the whole, the downstream demand performance of the market in July this year still exceeded market expectations, so the demand side did not have much of a drag on the price
    .
    On the contrary, the supply situation in the domestic spot copper market has tightened this week, as upstream smelters control shipments, so the spot copper discount range this week has clearly shown signs of narrowing, and by Friday afternoon, good copper had been reported to flat water
    .
    In terms of supply, the demand for flat water copper and good copper during the week was better, and wet copper was not cared for, and transactions were rare
    .
    As far as the future market is concerned, the market is bullish, so it is expected that spot copper will gradually turn into a premium state
    next week.
