As quoted in the market news:
Two physical traders said that Codelco would be “crazy” to put premiums up at a time when China is very long copper, with poor demand on the consumption side, saying they were likely to stick at $90/mt.
A fabricator source said he believed that they could even cut to $85/mt.
