Today, in North China, spot #1 copper cathode is trading at a discount of 150 yuan/mt to 90 yuan/mt against the front-month contract, with an average discount of 120 yuan/mt, unchanged from the previous trading day. The transaction price ranges from 78,060 yuan/mt to 78,180 yuan/mt, with an average price of 78,120 yuan/mt, up 85 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Affected by the off-season consumption, demand remains mediocre. Copper prices have stopped falling, and there is a slowing trend in the cargo pick-up progress of downstream enterprises, with weak trading activity in the spot market.
