The tight supply - demand expectation of scrap copper leads to a decline in domestic crude copper or anode plate processing fees, and the maintenance capacity of copper smelters from September to October increases month - on - month [3] - **Demand**: The expectation of the traditional consumption peak season leads to a recovery in demand in some copper processing industries [3] - **Inventory**: China's electrolytic copper social inventory decreased compared with last week; LME electrolytic copper inventory decreased compared with last week; COMEX copper inventory increased compared with last week [3] Trading Strategy - Wait for the price to fall and then mainly lay out long positions.
