    The copper price in the intraday market did not change much, and after several consecutive days of decline, the copper market showed signs of stabilization, attracting many downstream copper manufacturers to enter the market to inquire and purchase, and the transaction improved earlier
    .
    Due to the generally low number of materials prepared by downstream manufacturers before the holiday, with the gradual recovery of production after the holiday, manufacturers have rigid replenishment needs
    .
    However, the holders have a strong mentality of selling and have made significant premium quotations
    .
    This is mainly due to the continuous shortage of recycled copper supply due to environmental factors, low holdings and difficulty
    in replenishment.
    Moreover, the continuous decline in copper prices after the holiday caused a loss
    of inventory in the hands of cargo holders.
    Due to the significant increase in recycled copper, the price difference with electrolytic copper narrowed to the limit, thereby stimulating the market demand for electrolytic copper to increase, and the electrolytic copper discount situation was also eased
    .

    Recently affected by the weakening of the US dollar and the improvement in spot market demand, copper prices have ushered in a long-term rebound
    .
    However, the narrowing of spot discounts is less than expected, indicating that consumption has started slowly, and the resignation of US presidential economic adviser Cohen may once again trigger market fears of a trade war, and the copper market is expected to fall into a volatile pattern
    again.
