2025-1-9
Copper: The spot copper price in Foshan market rose slightly today, and the market trading is still cautious. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced at the the State Council policy briefing held on January 8th that the categories of home appliances enjoying the trade-in subsidy have been expanded from 8 categories last year to 12 categories, and each product can enjoy a maximum subsidy of 20% of the sales price. This move has further enhanced market confidence, which is a very favorable signal for the copper market and indicates a good demand prospect. Although it is currently in the off-season of the industry, the spot premium has increased steadily, and the demand for reserve stocks at the end of the year continues, and the increase in domestic copper stocks is quite limited. The traders pay close attention to the enhancement of purchasing intention before the Spring Festival, and it is expected that there may be a stocking tide before the Spring Festival to provide support for copper prices.
