At present, SHFE copper maintains a narrow consolidation around 78,000 yuan, while LME copper fluctuates around 9,600 dollars. This week, the trend is still dominated by range fluctuations, and the direction is still unclear. Entering the seasonal off-season, the demand of copper market continues to weaken, and copper manufacturers generally report that orders are less, so the purchase is still based on demand. At present, the gradual slowdown in demand in the copper market has put pressure on short-term copper prices. However, in view of the easing of tariff concerns, the demand in the copper market is still resilient, and the short-term copper prices may be limited. At present, the domestic spot copper price is supported by tight supply and continues to maintain a premium state, and the social inventory of electrolytic copper runs at a low level. It is expected that the short-term copper price will remain at a high level and fluctuate strongly.
