The latest data released by the Shanghai Futures Exchange indicated that during the week of June 13, SHFE copper inventories dropped back slightly, with weekly inventories increasing by 5.08% to 101,943 mt. International copper inventories increased by 299 mt to 11,373 mt.
Last week, COMEX copper inventories continued to increase, with the latest inventory level reaching 196,046 mt, hitting a nearly seven-year high.
Note: Generally speaking, 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.
