Data released by the London Metal Exchange (LME) showed that LME copper inventories maintained a downward trend last week, with the latest inventory level at 132,400 mt, hitting a new low in nearly a year.
The latest data released by the Shanghai Futures Exchange indicated that during the week of June 6, SHFE copper inventories rebounded slightly, with weekly inventories increasing by 1.52% to 107,404 mt. International copper inventories held steady at 11,074 mt.
Last week, COMEX copper inventories continued to accumulate, with the latest inventory level at 187,877 mt, reaching a new high in nearly seven years.
Note: Generally, a continuous decline in inventories at domestic and overseas exchanges will support futures prices, while the opposite will have a bearish impact on futures prices.
