Investment in copper bars has appeared in the Shuibei Market in Shenzhen.

The market heat of gold and silver has spread from the trading platform to offline. After investing in gold bars and silver bars became a "hot item", market news reported the appearance of "investment copper bars" at the Shuibei market in Shenzhen. In response, reporters visited multiple trading centers at the Shuibei market again on the 17th and temporarily did not find physical "investment copper bars". However, some merchants indicated that the physical "investment copper bars" need to be pre-ordered, and the current price is 190 yuan per bar with a weight of 1000 grams, offering discounts for large quantities. As for the possibility of recycling investment copper bars like investing in gold bars and silver bars, several merchants stated that they do not yet know the specific recycling method, "we are currently only selling and not recycling". Some merchants also mentioned, "the processing fee for copper bars may be higher than the price of copper itself, and even if it is recycled, it may only be based on the price of raw materials, so the value is not significant. Even if we see peers stocking up, we will not blindly follow suit." On many social media platforms, the topic of "investment copper bars" at Shuibei has generated discussion, with many circulating images of physical "investment copper bars" and high levels of inquiries. Reporters found that many people are actually just watching the excitement regarding "investment copper bars". Reporters interviewed several consumers and merchants. For consumers, chasing after investment gold bars, silver bars, and even copper bars reflects a desire for their assets to "retain value", and to some extent reveals the "asset allocation frenzy" among ordinary consumers. For the merchants, chasing after market trends may be due to new changes in market supply and demand, but it is easy to overlook risks and deviate from the main business, leading to "accidents". Following the "explosions" of several gold raw material suppliers, recent news of a jewelry store in Shuibei running away, also reveals the drastic fluctuations in the precious metals market in just a few months and issues a serious warning to a wide range of investors.
