PriceSeek's analysis of copper, with a long-short score of -1, indicates that the overall increase of 2,531 tons in copper inventories, with rises of 1,027 tons in Shanghai and 1,504 tons in Jiangsu, reflects growing supply pressure and relatively weak demand. This generally exerts bearish pressure on spot prices, potentially leading to downward price pressure.
