Guangdong bare bright copper prices were 70,600-70,800 yuan/mt, unchanged from the previous trading day. The price difference between primary metal and scrap was 1,532 yuan/mt, down 195 yuan/mt MoM. The price spread between primary and secondary copper rods was 770 yuan/mt. According to the SMM survey, secondary copper rod enterprises reported that the tight supply of secondary copper raw materials this week has not improved. Due to the continuous rise in copper prices before and after the Chinese New Year, many secondary copper raw material warehouses actively sold off their inventory, resulting in low social inventory levels of secondary copper raw materials. Coupled with copper prices pulling back and maintaining a fluctuating trend, this has dampened suppliers' enthusiasm for selling.
