Copper futures are futures products with copper as the subject matter, which are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with the trading code of Cu.
Since the prototype of 1877 London Metal Exchange (LME) was formed, copper has been one of the earliest varieties traded in LME. At present, there are mainly London Metal Exchange (LME) and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX-COMEX) engaged in copper futures trading abroad. LME's copper quotation is the most authoritative quotation in the industry, and its price tends to objectively reflect the transaction, while COMEX's price is more speculative.
