    Today's Shanghai copper main force opened low and then fluctuated
    in a narrow range.
    At the end of the day, the main 2207 contract of Shanghai copper closed at 72650, down 180, or 0.

    Shanghai copper

    In terms of the market, yesterday's Shanghai copper spot premium rose back to 150 yuan, spot import losses were still as high as 900 yuan, and far month import losses exceeded 1200 yuan, stimulating refinery exports
    .
    The direct reason for the excessively low price comparison is that imports are concentrated and the suspension of financing purchases caused by repeated pledges of warehouse receipts has a great
    impact on spot transactions.
    Overall, downstream consumption has recovered slowly, and a wave of rush in East China ended in late May, and new orders are weak and downstream has no intention of chasing higher
