Movement Alert|MMG Limited Falls 3.02% in Regular Trading, Strong Dollar and Seasonal Demand Weakness Weigh on Copper Stocks

Market Focus06-05

On June 5, MMG Limited fell 3.02% in regular trading, trading at HKD 8.98 per share, with trading volume of HKD 122 million.

On the news front, LME copper extended its decline to 1.01%, last quoted at USD 13,791 per ton, with copper prices stuck in a high-level consolidation pattern. The U.S. May ADP employment report showed 122,000 new jobs added, hitting a 16-month high and exceeding expectations. The strong labor market data extinguished market expectations for a near-term Fed rate cut, with the U.S. dollar index running firmly above 99.4, broadly pressuring USD-denominated base metals. Meanwhile, domestic copper consumption entered a seasonal soft patch, weakening demand-side support.

Across the Hong Kong-listed copper sector, stocks declined broadly. Jiaxin International Resources fell approximately 4%, China Daye Non-Ferrous Metals dropped 3%, and Jiangxi Copper fell 2%. The copper market currently displays an imbalanced structure, with COMEX-LME price spreads exceeding USD 400 per ton, creating a siphon effect that draws global copper resources toward the U.S. market and distorting regional inventory distribution.
