    copper prices.

    upward.

    At present, the supply of the mine end is still tight, TC remains below $50/ton, and the agency predicts that global copper production will decline
    this year.

    .
    The World Bureau of Metal Statistics (WBMS) reported that the global copper market was short of 155,000 tons from January to June, while China's apparent demand increased by 14.
    9%
    year-on-year.

    China's industrial production grew steadily, the momentum of fixed asset investment continued to consolidate, and the consumer market showed a significant recovery trend, but the domestic and international environment is still complex and severe, and uncertainty is still prominent
    .
    At present, supply is still tight, overseas demand has promoted the continuous dematerialization of LME inventories, the impact of the domestic off-season is gradually fading, and the accumulation of domestic inventories is slow, but consumption in the third quarter is difficult to compare with the sharp growth in the second quarter, and geopolitical uncertainty has also suppressed the market, and copper prices are expected to fluctuate in the short term
