    of global inventories.
    The continuous decline in inventories has made the LME spot premium rise for a while, but the recent decline in LME premium has continued to pay attention to
    in the later stage.

    of hidden stocks.

    However, in the short term, the interference on the supply side determines the rhythm of the decline in copper prices, and it is recommended to rebound and sell short one
    after another.
