    S.
    stocks hovered
    highs.

    Domestic spot remained flat, and the downstream did not want to chase higher after the sharp rise in prices, but due to the poor price comparison in the early stage, less import customs declaration and storage and other reasons, domestic inventories maintained a decline, and after the change of month, the spot premium remained at a high level of 140 yuan, indicating that warehouse receipts remained tight
    .
    After the change of month, spot imports return to a profitable state, which helps bonded inventory to declare customs imports, thereby easing domestic tensions
    .
    In addition, although there is a small amount of trial imports of scrap copper, there is still no large-scale arrival, and the tension of scrap copper has not been alleviated, but the terminal consumption is weak after the sharp rise in prices, and the holders sell goods at a high price, and the price difference of refined waste widens to 1300 yuan
    .

    On the supply side, the industry is focused on annual long-term order negotiations, and extremely low concentrate processing fees and visible inventories have given upstream confidence and supported
    copper prices.
    Overall, downstream consumption is still resilient, while the spot market price structure is still strong, macro bullishness is still waiting to be realized, the US dollar is weak and may continue to fall, and copper prices remain on the side
    .
