Although the domestic copper demand has not officially started yet and is still in the stage of accumulating inventory, LME and COMEX have relatively low inventory. As well as the expectation of Chinese policy and American infrastructure construction, there is a certain expectation of demand so that the rebound pattern of copper price is still maintained. It is expected in recent days that the metal demand will gradually pick up as many factories and enterprises have begun to work until the 10th day of the lunar calendar on this year. It is also reflected by many manufactures and enterprise that the resumption of production is still to wait after the Lantern Festival.
